MYERS
ON JOB

Some speculation has been indulged
in today relative to the action of the
street committee in placing Inspector
Meyers upon the inspection of work
being done by the Barber Asphalt
company in patching the damaged
portions of the street paving laid by
that company about six years ago. 1t
is argued that the property owners
who were assessed to pay for the i'm
provement We're also assessed 2E
cents a square yard for maintenance.
and do not believe the tax payers
should be called upon to pay the $3.50
salary of an inspector to see that the
maintenance work is done in accord
ance with specifications.
When asked about the action of the
council this morning. Chairman G. H.
Whiteman of the street committee
said that Meyers would be idle if not
required to look after the patch"
work, as contractors on East Main
street are not yet ready to lay the
asphalt which is to be Inspected
Therefore, We're Mr.. Meyers released
from the inspection of the mainte1ance
work on Main and Alder, he would
either be idle, or would have to be
laid Off

PRICES TO BE RAISED
NOVEMBER FIRST
BY DAIRYMEN
Quarts Increased 25 Cents
And Pints Go Up
Is Cents.

Following the tendency OF all pro-
ducts to go to the skies, dairy products
are to go up. The dairymen of the
valley are working upon plans where
by the price of milk will be raised from
1925 per month per quart, to $3.50, an
increase of 25 cents. For pint bottles
the quotation will doubtless be raised
to $3.50 instead of $1.35 as at present.
In case the plans materialize the
change will be put into effect Noyem-
ber /, and the first collection under
the new schedule made November so.
1t is said practically all of the larger
dairies have consented to the change
by which the revenues will be consid-
erably increased, and the increased cost
of supplying milk and cream met with
greater ease. 1t has not been an
templated in the price of cream, but il
IS probable slight raise will be agreed
upon.

Grief AT HIS OLD HOME
ST. PETER IN DER dOURNING FOR
DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN.
Bells of the City Will Toll Until His
Remains Are Laid Away
on Thursday.

st. Peter, Sept. 22.-Flags are flying
at half mast in St.24Peter and every
thing possible is being done to show
the profound sorrow that is felt over
the death of Governor Johnson.
At noon yesterday a fieldpiece in the
public square doomed out the COVER
nor's salute, and as the first detOna-
tions died away, bells in the steeples
of st. Peters churches, from whose
pulpits On Sunday prayers were offered
up for the governors recovery, began
their mournful ringing. They will be
tolled constantly until all that is NOR
tai of Governor Johnson is laid away.
In these and in other ways is Gov
ernor Johnson's native town showing
its grief. Every st. Peter man seems
take the governors death as a per-
sonal loss, and his demise has stirred
the community as it has never been
stirred before.

FOUND INDIAN RELICS
WORKMEN BRING BONES AND
SPEARS TO THE SURFACE.
Redmen Camped Near Where Curios
Were Unearthed; the Evidence
Left Behind.

Not long ago while Fred Swan,
who works for the city at Sibley
park, was getting out gravel for the
roads around the park, he dug up a
number of Indian bones. He and his
helper reinterred them and a little
later he found four steel spears about
eight feet from where the bones were
found. Two of them his helper claimed
and the other two he took home, and
is keeping them as relies.
A half breed Indian who was there
when they found them offered one dol
lar for one or $3.50 for two, but his
offer was refused. These spears were
found about seven feet below the sur.
face of the earth and were sticking
in the ground downward, and all
four were close together. They have
a hook on the end to fasten on a
large pole.
The place where they were found was
the home of the Indians long ago. In
fact, along the Blue Earth near the
cement works was a large village of
the red men, n not only or the
tribes known as the American Indians,
but the mound builders, as thousands
of chips from the prehistoric work
shops are found around the village
site even today. They are of flint,
quartz, agate, etc.
There was a large village also along
the Minnesota river, where a good
many perfect stone arrow points, also
broken ones, are found. No doubt
there was a city of red men at the
junction of the rivers when Columbus
discovered this continent, and maybe a
city as large if not larger than Man
kato is today. Trading was carried
on with other tribes up and down these
two rivers for hundreds of miles.

SUFFERED a LONG Time
GOVERNOR HAD FORMER OPERA
TONS; POOR CONDITION.
He Was Not in the Physical Shape
to Pass Through the Trying Or
deal of Another.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 22.-The late
had been operated lon twice
before by the Doctors Mayo. First
for the removal of ulcers from the
stomach and afterwards for an abscess
of the bowels. Both were very acute
prolonged cases and the governor was
in a very serious condition each time
There had been distractions of the
bowels present in each instance and
during the second operation the APP
pendiX was removed.
After the second operation he en-
joyed fairly good health, but had spells
of Indigestion, which later developed
into attacks of obstruction of the
bowels. These came on mostly dur
ing the last two years, increasing in
frequency the last year.
About two months ago Governor
johnson had a severe attack and was
ill at his home in st. Paul. 1t was
then that an operation was in
evitable, but he had set his mind up
on doing certain things already plan
ned, visiting the Seattle fair for one.
Upon his return from there he made
up his mind that he would have the
operation after the Taft reception on
Monday. He was suddenly taken with
very acute pain and as soon as he
was able to travel he went to Roches-
ter.
The exact nature of the last opera
ton was described by a surgeon who
watched it as follows:
'The operation lasted two hours and
ten minutes. The preliminary work
disclosed a small, deep-seated abscess
which connected from the seat
the previous operation for the re-
moval of the appendix to the small
intestines. 1t required a very diff
cult, a very serious and somewhat
prolonged operation to remove this
which was the cause of the
governors attacks of acute pain and
formed an obstruction to the action
of the bowels. There were also unus-
ually numerous and difficult adhesions
of the smaller intestines to one an
other and to the abdominal cavity"
