Serious Road Accident.
Mr.. S. M. McNeel had one Of the
bones of his left foot broken, and Mr..
Thos. F. Mellow sustained a painful
wrench Of the back as the result Of the
overturning of a hack on the Chester
road a short distance south Of McCon-
nellsville last Tuesday night. Mr.. M.
L. Carroll and little son, Alfred, who
were also of the party, escaped unhurt.
Messrs. McNeel, Carroll and McDow,
had been in attendance on the Lay
mems Missionary Movement conven-
ton in Clinton and were on their way
back to Yorkville, coming from Chester
in a two-horse rig driven by a negro.
In some way, possibly on account OF
the driver being asleep, the team went
into a deep ditch, and all Of the occu-
pants Of the vehicle were thrown out,
with the results stated. The horses
ran away. Mr.. McNeel was subse-
quently taken to the residence Of DR..
w. M. Love, who gave his injury such
attention as it seemed to require, and
afterward the party came on to York.
vile in two buggies, reaching here at
about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mr.. McNeel will probably be laid up
for some weeks.
Fired at From Roadside.
DR.. John I. Barron had the unpleas-
ant experience last Tuesday night OF
being fired at twice from the roadside.
His assailant was an unknown negro.
1t was at about 10 o'clock. The doctor
was on his way to visit a patient on
the c. c. Hughes plantation, about five
miles south of Yorkville. When he
was within a short distance Of the
county home. he was startled by shot.
From the light made by the flash Of the
pistol, he made out his assailant as an
unknown negro. Look out there what
you are doing" said the doctor, and the
answer was another shot. Unarmed
and at a loss to understand it, DR..
Barron urged his horse up and got
away from the scene as soon as possi-
BILE. At the nearest telephone, he COM
municated with Deputy Sheriff Quinn,
who went out and made a search Of the
but without getting any
information. DR.. Barron went on with
his professional visit. He is under the
impression that the shots were intend
ed for a negro man who had passed In
a buggy q few minutes before; but this
Is only supposition. Deputy Quinn and
Constable Sanders have been working
on the case since it's occurrence.

An Enormous spider-A. w. PicL

An Enormous Spider-A. w. Pick
ems of Garvin township brought to this
office Saturday an enormous spider
which he called a Carolina tarantula.
He said he had read Of those things,
but it was the first one he had ever
seen. 1t was captured by some boys
on his plantation.
The spider was an inch and a half
long and half inch broad before hav-
ing been killed and drawn to its small
est compass. Before being killed 1t was
much larger. The animal was equip
ped with ten legs, four at the PROV and
six at the stern, and a particularly
wicked looking mouth. The bite Of this
spider, Mr.. Pickens says, Is as deadly
as that Of a rattlesnake.
Some boys on Mr.. Pickens' planta-
ton found a peculiar looking hole In
the ground and decided to investigate.
After digging for q while they came
upon an odd looking nest. Pricing 1t
open they found the spider inside. The
nest was provided with trap-door,
which the spider could close after HIM
self as he went into the nest, and would
be safe from intruders. Mr.. Pickens
brought the nest to the city with him.
It was very ingeniously contriyed af-
fair, and was Of almost as much inter-
est as the spider itself.-Anderson

ALTHOUGH numerous protected inter-
ests are devoting themselves to the set
tier ent of the various tariff schedules
SC 3 to derive as much individual ben
eft as possible, 1t is probably a fact
that the country as whole Is more
concerned about having an end to the
agitation. With the tariff agitation
stopped, there would be an opportunity
for the resumption of business.

OF photographers as the cameras
clicked and he stood and waited for
the exposure. Twenty minutes was
spent in the main exhibition hall by
the president, where he was accom-
panied by the members Of his party,
by the state officers and the direct
| tors Of the fair. No one else was al
lowed in the buildings and soldiers
and secre, service men stood on
guard outside.
While confessing that he knew
but little about farming, Mr.. Taft
seemed astonished at the agricultur-
al resources of the state, and freely
commented on the magnificent dis
plays. The party then left the build
ing, stepped aboard autos, whirled
around the race track and stopped
at the speakers stand.
Cheer after cheer rang out, and
to these Taft responded with smiles
and bows. There was more applause
when Governor Norris stepped for
ward and introduced the president.
Mr.. Taft stepped forward. An
other big demonstration occurred,
and when it ended the president be-
gan talking.
The president was heartily cheer
ed as he sat down. Then he disap-
peared from the view of the crowd
and met the members of the recep-
ton committee. After watching
the cowboy race, won by q Chippe-
wa Indian, and running race, the
machines came up the track and the
Taft party started for Helena. The
gates were locked and no one was
permitted to leave for Is minutes.
President Taft, at the request of
/ Bishop John P. Carroll, laid the cor
nerstone Of the new Catholic college
on Capitol hill. A few priests from
Great Falls, Helena and Butte were
present, together with the pupils of
the Catholic school. An amusing in
cident occurred when Bishop Car
rell got outside the Gordon and only
got back when the chief of police
came after him The exercises
were soon over.
President Taft spoke of the pleas
ure it gave him to lay the corner
stone, as he said the Catholic col
Ieges exercised a salutary effect and
made for good citizenship. The par
| ty proceeded directly up Park ave-
nue. to the federal building, where
the children were greeted, and then
the machines ran to the depot,
where the special was waiting. 1t

A fve-mile auto race was run at
the grounds today. Stanley Smith of

mobile competed with Arthur Con-
rad of Great Falls in six-cylinder
Ford. The latter won in six minutes
and one second.

and hung from its cornices more fun.
eral bands. Workmen suspended long
streamers of alternate black and white
across the street, several to the block.
Every citizen and visitor wore in his
buttonhole tiny bit of crepe or ribbon
and hundreds more displayed the little
mourning buttons. Hack lines to neigh
boring towns made trip after trip, and
despite the rain, which began falling
lightly at 10 80 a. m, were laden to
their capacity. Later, however, the
downpour lessened, and the prospects
became better for sunshine.
In preparation for the funeral
march from the depot the bridge a.
cross the Minnesota river was profuse-
ly decorated. Great portraits of the
dead governor surmounted each end,
crepe-entwined national flags depended
from it's center and every cross beam
and girder was draped in the mourn
ing coiors.
Conspicuous today in the Office of
the St. Peter Herald is an old revoly-
ing arm chair, swathed in crepe. 1t was
4 Governor Johnson's chair presented to
him many years ago by the Office force
of the newspaper. No one SAT in the
old chair all day.
Judge Henry Moll is at the head of
the local committee having charge of
the funeral arrangements. It's person
mel is drawn from the Commercial
club, the city council, the county of
fcals and almost from St. Peter at
large.

the school children marched in his
honor, and he made them an address.
In memory Of this place of speeia1
honor was accorded the children. Be-
fore the general public was admitted
to the church to view the remains,
the children passed through alone.
Many Of them wept.
The procession passed solemnly
from the station to Broadway, up
Broadway to Minnesota avenue. to
Myrtle street. to Third street, and to
the Union Presbyterian church, of
which Governor johnson was mem
Der. Here the remains lay in state for
an hour and half, reposing on a
bier Immediately in front OF the pull
pit.
Thousands crowded the church to
get one last glimpse of the man whose
memory they had come to honor. The
guardsmen of Company K acted as
sentinels and marshaled the long lines
in and out of the little edifce, pain
fully inadequate to contain a tithe of
those who stood quietly and determin-
edly outside.
Mrs. Johnson did not leave the fu-
neral train while the remains lay in
state, but, with members Of the FAM
lily, waited in the car at the station,
coming to the church only for the
service, which began at p. m.
AS the service hour approached,
multitudes hastened up Minnesota ave-
nue., where broad hangings of black,
caught up in the center by bows OF
white, stretched across the roadway
at frequent intervals. The church held
mot more than 800 at most, and thou
sands were unable to gain admission,
but waited in silence outside or start
ed across the town to the little Gem
etery on the hill.
On the platform with Rev. Ralph
E. Clarke, the pastor, and an intimate
friend of the governors, had been in
vited to sit the other pastors and
priests of the city. This included Rev.
Luther Malnlberg Of the Lutheran
church, Rev. E. J. Nystron OF the
Swedish Lutheran, Rev. r. Jeske Of
