M0URNS LOSS
Minnesotans drieve Over
Death Of Johnson.
LAST HOURS PEACEFUL

Thanks His Physicians and Others for
Their Attentions to Him, Says Fare
we'll to His Wife and %surrenders
to the Divine WiIi-Body to Be In
TERED Beside That Of His Mother
at st. Peter, MINI.
st. Paul, Sept. 22.-The death of
Governor John A. johnson has cast a
deep gloom over the entire state AMI
In this city, where he was we'll known,
expressions of personal sorrow were
heard on every hand. To the little
group of mourners at Rochester a
sympathy of more than statewide in.
terest goes out, for the dead governor
had become a prominent figure in the
nations life. He was continually
growing in prominence nationally at
the time of his death and sympathy
and regret are widefelt and sincere.
After battling against death with
determined resistance for almost a
week. Governor Johnson's life had a
peaceful ending. Grouped about his
bedside when the end came were Mrs.
Johnson, Miss Sullivan, her personal
friend; the attending physician and
two nurses. The last thing Governor
Johnson did before lapsing into a
comatose condition one and a half
half hours before his death was to
take his wife a~ffectionately by the
hand and weakly whisper: well,
Nora. l made a good fight, but I guess
I've got to 60" Then as the last
CLEAN of intelligence began to flicker
he pressed her hand gently to his
cheek, a parting caress as he prepared
to obey the divine will.
Not Told of Approaching End.
Governor johnson was not notified
of his approaching death. but it was
very slowly borne to him and there
seemed tc be a mutual understanding
of the situation without a word hav-
ing been said on either side, except
those addressed to Mrs. Johnson.
About two hours before he became
unconscious Governor Johnson said:
IT want to thank every one in this
room and especially DR.. William
Mayo, for what you have done for
me-"
He then added to DR.. William Mayo,
personally:
\ Doctor, l don't think there is a
single person on earth who could have
done so much for me as you hav9
DONE"
Then the governor shook hands with
all of them. 1t was the final leave
taking of Minnesota's beloved gov.
ernor to his dearest personal friends.
Mrs. johnson is bearing up we'll un-
der her affection.
The body of Governor Johnson was
brought 10 st. Paul on a special train
and taken to the state capitol, where
It will lie in state. The funeral will
be held Thursday afternoon at st.
Peter and the services will be held in
the Presbyterian church. Governor
Johnson will be buried beside his
mother.

delight. a peace Of real creative work in

possible that there might be some little
time left for the pleasure which was re-
garded as a separate thing.

Court OF Appeals has decided that an or
dinance OF this kind. discriminating as *
does between individuals in the same
business in the same community, IS un-
constitutional. and Il Is now proposed to
get over this difficulty by procuring the
insertion of a new clause in the city
charter.
The Intensity Of feeling on the question
IS hardly to be overstated-

climbers for summer house and trellis
coverings. Some years ago f was in
troduoed by the florists here as a potted
plant for Easter. the blooms being forced.
Before that time, both IN England and
France. it was considered as rather an
ordinary variety OF the rose. and vas
not held in high esteem. A new rose,
faint, pink. aSd single. a climber. and
evidently a Wild flower. in It's native
land. has been used IN large quantities
for decorative purposes. The blossom IS
quite small and feathery. but massed the
plants are most effective The demand
for pink flowers Of any kind this year

After an unusually uneventful trip
down from San Francisco, the bark An

yesterday morning. High seas were

routine was medium weather with ordi-

she win probably discharge the major
portion of her cargo. The officers on
the vessel stated yesterday that the trip
down from the Coast was perhaps the
most uneventful in the history Of the
