Qnies. Governor Johnson's death had
been regarded as q personal loss by
nearly every resident Of this city,
where be had lived the greater part Of
his life. and the outward signs Of
mourning were everywhere.
At stations all along the road from
st. Paul the funeral cortegs was. re-
viewed with the utmost Difference. At
shakopee. Belle Plains and other
places the whole town was at the sta.
tion. School children, with flags
pointed downward. lined the street ON
each side of the train. while small
boys and gray haired men stood with
barred heads as the governors body
was hurried towards its resting place.
The train arrived here at 1:45 p. m.
The funeral cortege, escorted by state
militia and representatives of state
and civic organizations. proceeded to
the Presbyterian church. where the
body lay in state and was viewed by
hundreds of citizens Ct st. Peter for
an hour and a half before the relig.
tous services were held. Rev. q. C..

October Market Day.

The October Market Day will be on
Saturday. October 23rd. Everyone
within reachable distance of Oakes
should lay their plans to be here.
The September day was q big sue
cess but the 23rd Of October will be a
much bigger one as more Of the farm
ers viii have their fall work well in
hand and will feel able to take the time
to attend.
The underlying principle of market
day is strictly right and they cannot
but result in benefit to all concerned if
pushed by the town and patronized by
the country. They mean abetter price
for the farmers products, a lower cost
of what he buys and bigger and
wider range of business for the mer-
chants. The farmer and his family
have the chance to compare the results
of their husbandry and enjoy a little
sport and free amusement. The
country boy and girl finds an incentive
to effort and something to look forward
to. A better acquaintance and a CO.
operative feeling will be fostered by
these market days.

Marshalls Home Again.

Hon. Thomas F. Marshall and wife
arrived home Saturday from Detroit,
Minn., where they spent the summer
months at their cottage on the lake.
Both are looking well and glad to be
home again.
The Times has not been able to see
Mr.. Marshall as yet, as on Sunday
evening he left on a business mission
to Minneapolis. He is not giving out
much information as to what he intends
doing politically, but the knowing ones
say that he will be a candidate again
for the United States senate. The old
liners are doing all they can to side
track him for governor, but Tom has
both eyes wide open. The people want
him for the senate and they will not be
satisfied to vote for him for anything
else. ee- -a5 81 e
