COUNTRY EDITORS POPULAR.
In Minnesota, Where Many of Them
Hold Office.

The late Governor Johnson, short
ly before his death, wrote for the
Youths Opmpanion an interesting
article dealing largely with the news
paper man in Office. He said that
it has often been observed that Min
nesota Is governed by the country
editor" and shows that the assertion
is not without good foundation.
Here is his partial summary of the
situation. The governor. his pri-
vate secretary, and executive clerk
are country newspaper men; so are
the labor commissioner, the execu-
tive agent of the game and fish
commission, the State oil inspector,
the State librarian, the secretary and
assistant secretary of State, the as
sistant labor commissioner, the State
fire warden, the assistant fire mar
shall, the deputy public examiner, the
secretary of the dairy and food COM
mission, the assistant clerk of the
supreme court, the secretary Of the
board of control Both political par
ties have recognized the capability
of the country editor for official po-
sition from the earliest history OF
the State. and he has always been
an active force in Legislative coun-
ellis and in the minor places under
the national and State government.

an, who defended him so loya.ly as
to bring about his own arrest for i'm

ed permission for brief talk With
him just before the execution.
To his attorney, Ferrer spoke feel
ingly of the work for which he had
sacrificed his life and of the future
of his daughter, whose brave attemp;
to save his life touched the father
more deeply, apparently, than any
other Incident Of his trial and con-
viction.
On Ferrer's arrest his family was
left dependent upon this daughter,
who at once secured employment in
a biscuit factory.
When it was known that her faith
er had been sentenced to death the
daughter made personal appeal to
King Alfonso, calling upon him in
the name of his known generosity to
spare her fathers life. When these
facts were related by Galceran, Fer
rer broke down for moment.
Ferrer declined to receive the last
sacraments, and turned away from
the two priests of the Order Of Peace
and Charity who had been sent by
the prison authorities to offer him
the final consolation of the church.
When the hour of execution arriV-
ed he walked bravely through the
prison yard to the ditch in the shad-
ow of the encircling wall. Without
culver he faced the II infantry
men, who at the word OF command,
fired simultaneously. When the re-
port Of the volley had died away,
Ferrer lay upon the ground.
Previous to the execution precau-
tions had been taken to forestall a
possible attempt. at rescue by doubl-
ing the sentinels upon the walls OF
the fortress.

Cleveland Steamer Wrecked on Lake Erie
at Point PeIee, Ont.
TWELVE WERE RESCUED
Until Daybreak the ship-Wrecked
Crew Remained in the Forward
Cabins and Pilot Houses and Then
Began an Anxious Search of the
Horizon for Passing Vessels.

In the wreck of the steamer Geo.
Stone, of Cleveland, Ohio. on Point
Pslee, Ont, Wednesday,:upper Lake
Erie added a gruesome chapter to the
history OF marine disasters on the
great lakes. Six lives were lost and
twelve were saved. Wednesday night
the tail end of the recent gale lash
ed a hopelessly broken vessel that
was not insured and belonged to M.
A. Bradley of Cleveland.
The six victims lost their lives
when Captain Paul Howell Peter Dal-
ey Of Erie, Pa, who was passenger,
and six members of the crew were
capsized in the surf, attempting to
20 ashore for assistance. Two of
the crew clung to the overturned
boat four hours until they drifted
ashore.
The wooden steamer George Stone
began to feel the effect of the South
west gale about $3.50 Monday evening
and at midnight she began desper-
ate battle for life.
All day Tuesday she fought val
iantly against the storm but towards
evening it became apparent that the
pumps were unequal to the task of
removing the water that poured into
the hole through the seams opened
by the buffeting of the waves.
About nine p. m. the captain and
crew realized that the storm had
taken the vessel out of their control.
About $3.50 a. m. the Stone struck
with a terrific jar upon the sand bar
known as Grubbs Reef nearly five
miles off the western shore of Point
Pelee.
Until daybreak the ship wrecked
crew remained in the forward cabins
and pilot houses and then began an
anxious search of the horizon for
passing vessels. One man was sent
aloft with bed sheet which he
waved from the forward mast. But
though three or four steamers came
within sight none responded to the
signal of distress.
Fire added to the dangers of the
situation at this point, the pilot
house being burned to the deck.
Towards nine o'clock a. m. We'd
nesday the danger of the vessel be-
ing broken to pieces became acute
and Captain Howell picked his crew
for an attempt to reach shore in one
of the small boats, when almost out
side the zone of danger mountain
conner capsized her and left her eight
passengers struggling in the Icy
breakers.
