Description of Operation.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 21.-The late
Governor John A. Johnson had been
operated on twice before by the doc
tors Mayo, first for the removal OF
ulcers from the stomach, and after
wards for an abcesS of the bowels.
Both were acute, prolonged cases and
the governor was in serious condi-
ton each time. There had been OBJ
structions of the bowels in each in
stance and during the second opera
ton Governor Johnson enjoyed fairly
good health, but had spells of indi-
rious attacks. These came on with
increasing frequency during the last
two years.
The last operation was described by
a surgeon who watched it as follows:
1.-The operation lasted two hours
and 10 minutes. The preliminary work
disclosed a small deep-seated abcess
pocket, which connected with the seat
of the previous operation for the re-

friend, tae attending physicians and

johnson Gid before lapsing into uncon-
sc;ousness, one and a half hours before
his death was to take his -wife's hand
and weakly whisper: well, Nora, 1

to co.
Then, as the last CLEAN of intelli-
gence began to flicker he pressed her
hand gently TO his cheek in a parting
carress.
Mayor Thompson today issued a
proclamation declaring the town to be
in a state of public mourning and flags
were flying at half mast from the city
buildings, school houses and many pri-
vate buildings.
Made a Brave Fight.
Rochester, Mimi, Sept. 21.-Gover-
nor John A. Johnson, three times
elected governor of Minnesota, can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for president of the United Safes in
1908 and looked upon by many
throughout the country as the prob
able Democratic national standard
bearer in 1912, died at st. Mary's hos
uitaI here at 325 o'clock this morning
day.
Governor Johnson's life hung contir-
ually in the balance until the end came
Al his bedside when the end came
were Mrs. johnson, Miss Margaret SUI
livan, her friend; Doctors w. j. and
Charles H Mayo, DR.. G. F. McNevin,
the governors private secretary, F'rei
B. Lynch, Democratic national commit
teeman, and two nurses.
Dr. W. J. Mayo stated that there
were no traces of blood poisoning and
that the immediate cause of death was
exhaustion and heart failure.
When the governor had breathed last,
Mrs. Johnson, who had been in almost
side and who had borne up bravely un-
der the ordeal, collapsed.
Governor johnson was in a letharg1c
state during the greater part OF the
night, but occasionally was arounds
and would then mutter few words to
Mrs Johnson. The governor lapscd
into inconsistencies at 1 o'clock. To
ward the end he revived and raised
himself several times to pat his wife On
the cheeks. His last words were:
well, Nora, I guess I'm going; we
have made a brave fight"

Tribute From Hill.
st. Paul, Sept. 21.-James ]. Hill,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Great Northern Railway company
said today of Governor Johnson:
HE possessed many of the quail
ties of a leader combined with kindly
disposition and a pleasant appear
ance.
His ability was illustrated by his
career, coming as he did from the
lowest stratum of the social structure,
to the highest. And his 1ifes work
with its results were not matters of
accident. They were due to his per-
severance and ability.
1.-The state of Minnesota has suffer-
ed great loss in the death of it's
leader. The state is also fortunate in
that there are no important questions
to be affected by the change of lead
ership."
Stubbs Regrets johnson Death.
In reply to a request from the Min
neapolis Journal Governor Stubbs
today sent the following coincidence of
the death of Governor johnson of
Minnesota by telegraph:
THE Journal, Minneapolis, Mimi:
Il sincerely regret the death of
Governor Johnson and in behalf of all
the people of Kansas send sympathy
to the great sister state of Minnesota
in the loss of so great-a son whose
life, both public and private, typified
those wholesome civic and moral vir-
tues so signally representative of the
genius and character of our western
civilization. Governor Johnson's
death, to my mind, is the sorrow not
alone of Minnesota, but of the entire
American people. Kansas, especially,
knew him we'll and our love for him
was great in proportion.

FOR UNIFORM LAWS.

John Callan O'Laughlin, writing to
the Chicago Tribune from Washing
ton, says that President Taft is mani
Testing a deep interest in the project
to hold in Washington next January
a national conference on uniform leg
islation. The president hopes that as
many governors of states as can leave
their capitals will come to Washing
ton for the purpose of comforting with
each other and with him in connec-
ton with the adoption of model laws
for the country.
Mr.. Taft has no wish, writes Mr..
O'LaughIin to have the federal gov
eminent infringe on the rights of
states. He holds that there is a line
where the powers and duties of the
one begin and the others end. His re-
spect for the constitution is well
known; and he has demonstrated it in
various ways since he has been in the
White House and particularly by his
decision to secure the cooperation OF
the states in the passage of Legislative
reforms which will make for the ad.
vantage of the people. He will no.
countenance any legislation which
stands a chance of being knocked out
bv the supreme court. His action il
respect to the income tax proposition
is an excellent example of the attitude
he has assumed in this regard.

VACATION DANGERS.

Summer vacation time is at hand.
1t is a glorious season. even for those
who can only take the briefest respites
from their labors. There is nothing like
a rest from work and a jaunt to the
country or the woods. or even to any
one of the great variety of summer
resorts with which this land abounds.
But vacations are not without their
dangers. 1t is fact that many people
who pass them away from home are
apt to return in worse physical condi-
ton than when they left. There is
and quantity of things which work for
these ends and most OF them can be
guarded against with the exercise of a
little care and discretion. A warning
or this subject was issued recently to
the people of Chicago by the depart
ment of health of that city, and it is
quite as pertinent to the people of any
community. 1t is. in part, as follows:
The average summer resort is poor
ly equipped in the way of pure water
supply and the average farmer who
takes summer boarders has a surface
we'll that Is sure to be seriously pollu-
ted. Never drink water from a surface
we'll until it has been boiled.
Look carefully to the food supply,
especially milk. See that it does not
come in contact with flies at any time.
Flies are even a greater menace in
the country than they are in the city
because the sanitary arrangements are
less perfect.
ut has been the experience of this
department that many hundreds OF
cases of typhoid fever are brought into
| Chicago each summer especially in the
late summer by people returning from
their vacations
| These conditions as they have de-
veloped in Chicago are likely to pre-
vail in every locality. They can BIZ
reduced to a minimum. though, if the
cautions, noted above. are followed.
