TAFT WON BY THE SOUTH.
President-EIect Warmly Welcomed and
Feasted by Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 16.-President-
elect William H. Taft, after being in
the cordial and hospitable embrace Of
Georgia all day yesterday and recog-
nizing the climax of the varied and
continuous demonstrations in the
brilliant and imposing scene presented
at the banquet at night, exclaimed
with evidences of great feeling:
Il had not hoped to win the south,
but the south has won me-"
The banquet was the most am
bilious event Of its kind the city has
ever undertaken. Participated in by
more than 500 of the city's represen-
tative men, it was gloried in by the
entire population. It, and the proceed
ing eloquence Of welcome extended to
Mr.. Taft in his reception at the capitol
and at. the Piedmont hotel, where he
was sought by thousands, constitute
a brilliant chapter in his record of
achievements south of Mason's and
Dixon's line.

The dissolution of the union has had
E peculiar effect upon the Swedish
people. Very many of the leading men
of the country are more and more
strongly convinced that Sweden made
a mistake when she did not put up
stiff fight against the Norwegians
in 1905, and this sentiment is express
ed again and again in the conservative
press. On the other hand, the COM
mon people are paying less and less
attention to the matter. In labor cir
cles the feeling between Swedes and
Norwegians is more friendly than ever
before. The Social Democrats are con-
stantly preaching that distinctions be-
tween nationalities have no place in
modern society, and thousands OF
Scandinavian laborers are ready to de-
clare that patriotism should be looked
upon as a sort of superstition.
The Danish United Steamship COM
pany's four vessels were sent last
year eight times to New York, carry.
ing 11,095 emigrants from Copenhagen,
of whom 7,155 were Danes, 1880
Swedes and Films and 10 Russians,
while at the Norwegian ports, Kris
tiania and Kristiansand, 1910 addi'
tional emigrants were embarked.
Strong forces are at work to estab'
lish a northumberland steam
ship line, but there is considerable
opposition to- the plan, especially In
Sweden. According to reports received
at the state department in Washing
ton, the arrangements for the mutual
cooperation between the Atlantic lines
are that each Of the Norwegian and
Swedish companies take over one OF
the Danish-Ameriean boats, Sweden
taking the Oscar II and Norway the
Hellig Olav, and, in addition, each
company will build new boat. The
United Steamship company retains the
steamers Tietgen and the United
States. In addition, it IL provided that
ill three companies in common have
a reserve ship. The three companies
will belong to the North Atlantic pool,
and uniform passenger and freight
rate has been agreed upon. This plan,
however, may possibly be frustrated
by the one proposed by Captain W. R.
Lundgren Of Gothenburg for direct
Swedish-American line. His plan Is
to build steamers of a modern type
chiefly for passenger traffic, and ca
pable of making at least eighteen
knots an hour and Of carrying the
mails from Sweden more quickly than
Mt present.

SCHOONER AND CREW LOST.
Swallow Wrecked OF Long island
Dozen Men Perish.

New York, Jan. 18.-1n the biting,
driving snowstorm of early yesterday
morning off the Long Island shore the
schooner Swallow of st. Johns, N F.,
and her crew Of about II men paid the
toll so often demanded of those who
go down to the sea in ships.
The story of the wreck, or so much
as is known of it, was told by the sea
itself, for it strewed the beach east of
Fire island for several miles with bits
of wreckage from the ship itself and
from her cargo. On some of this
floatsam appeared the name "Swallow,
St. Johns. N. F." and this told the
beach men who found the wreckage
what vessel it was that had pounded
itself to pieces in few short hours
in the bowling gale

NEWS NOTES,

st. Paul.-The search for the six
race horses stolen from the barns OF
w. G. CARING, one mile north of the
state fair grounds, Thursday night, as
yet has proved futile.
Minneapolis:-The Farmers Ele-
vator association, at the close of its
three days session in Minneapolis,
changed it's name to "1he Minnesota
Farmers and Grain Dealers associa-
tion."
Minneapolis.-The police were re-
quested lately to assist in the loca-
ton of DR.. Samuel Musgrave, Jr., l
Seventeenth street east, who had dis
appeared. DR.. Musgrave is 30 years
old and feet, 1 inch in height. He
held the Office Of health inspector
few years ago.
Duluth.-It was announced Wed
nesday morning, on the floor of the
board of trade, that Spencer, Moore
& Co., the grain firm which made an
assignment Tuesday, would resume
business Immediately. II is also
stated that all obligations will be
paid in full.
Thief River Falls.-The city will in
all probability continue it's policy of
municipal ownership Of it's public
utilities by taking steps to secure i'm
mediate possession of the local tele.
phone system now owned and ope-
rated by one of the largest telephone
companies in the Northwest. 1t is
found that this concern cannot give
the long distance connection that the
wholesale, banking, milling and other
growing business interests demand.
Bemidiji.-In a splendid exhibition
of speed skating, Al Thorpe of Fargo
claimant of the small-rink roller skat
ing championship of the Northwest

finishing strong, his time for the dis
lance being II minutes 1871 seconds
which is considered very fast for
twenty-one lap rink.
Red Wing.-The Goodhue, mil
owned by the Brooks Milling com
pany at Goodhue, was destroyed b;
| fire Tuesday evening at loss Q
$4,000. The fire evidently caugh
from the engine room. There wa
1000 bushels of grain and 1000 bal
| rels of flour stored in it. The amour
of insurance will largely cover tn
loss. The mill was built five year
ago by John Davis of Goodhue an
later sold to the Marcus Millin

news Of minnesota,
Wide Open Tax Valid.

st. Paul.-By deciding that the
wide open tax amendment had been
adopted the state supreme court
opened the way for a number of new
taxation bills, the most prominent Of
which is the tonnage tax, which will
be strongly urged at the present SEES
sion of the legislature. The decision
also strengthens the position of the
tax commission and removes the
doubt as to the constitutionality OF
the mortgage registry tax.
This amendment which is now de-
clared to have been adopted in No
vember, 1906, was also voted on last
fall and was lost It grants to the
legislature power to impose taxes OF
any sort 50 long as equality in the
several classes is maintained, al
though the old exemptions OF public
institutions, church property . and
cemeteries are not disturbed.
Members Of the legislature were
pleased with the decision or other
wise, according to their nearness to
the source of the iron ore supply.
There was the greatest interest in
the decision in the capitol. 1t opens
the way for the special message the
governor promised in his regular mes
sage.
The litigation over the amendments
is peculiar and brought up questions
never before determined in this state.
Justice Elliott went into the subject
to the extent of $1,000 words, dis
cussing all previous cases bearing on
this one.
The state canvassing board report
ed two years ago that the wide open
tax amendment had been carried and
the good roads amendment lost, but
it was discovered that the numbers
of the amendments on the ballots
and on the tally sheets had been re-
versed, so that votes intended for the
good roads amendment might have
been credited to the tax amendment
Accidentally Shot; Both Legs Frozen
Barnesville.-While Henry Baxter
of Baker was out hunting rabbits he
saw what he supposed was dog ly
ing beside the railway track. He fired
shot and to his surprise a man
got up where he supposed the dog
lay. He could not speak a word OF
English and started down the track
| until he came to a farm house, went
in and asked to stay for the night
The farmer could not keep him, sc
he went to an old vacant shed and
remained there for a day. During this
time the cold spell ragged.
Finding it too cold in the vacant
house he went to another farmhouse
and asked shelter, saying he was will
ing to stay in the barn. The farmer
told him he would freeze and advis
ed him to go to GAINESVILLE. Instead
of doing so he went back to the "a
cant house and remained there i'm

ing with both legs and other parts
of his body badly frozen.
| He was brought into town and ther'
appears to be no hope for his recov
cry.

NATURE EXACTS FINAL TRIBUTE
FROM COLONEL MAX. FROST
Leader in Journalism, Politics, Masonry
left His Imprint Upon History of
Southwest~-Career Crowded With
Work and Achievements.

Death gained the victory last even
| ing at 1890 o'clock, over Colonel
| Macmillan Frost. Unfiinchingly he
| had looked his conqueror in the face
| for many years and the brave fight
the vanquished one put up success
! fully in that period is more than mere
local tradition, it has become one OF
the marvels of medical annals. 1t was
by sheer power of will, of mentality,
supported by extraordinary physical
vitality, that Colonel Frost set to
naught the prognosis of physicians
and maintained his grasp upon affairs
| long after disease had robbed him of
eyesight, of power of locomotion and
| had made terrible inroads upon his
physical reserve. With scarce trem-
or his bark lifted anchor and glided
! over the Bar into the Great Unknown.
Colonel Frost has left bis impress
upon his times. Not only upon Santa
| Fe which he loved so well, but upon
an entire commonwealth, and it is
one of the inscrutable mysteries Of
! Providence, that he was not permitted
to hear the tidings that statehood has
been granted the Sunshine Territory,
for it was a burning wish of his and
he worked toward that end without
faltering, that the beloved Territory
should take it's place among the great
commonwealths of the Union.
| old
but the past thirty years of his lire
recorded one achievement after an
other He was bundle of restless
energy and ambition that leaped over
obstacles that would have daunted the
strongest of men. The mere enumera-
tion of the following biographical
facts gives an inkling of how busy
of how great man he was, how
crowded was his life with deeds, and
the heights he might have attempted
and gained, but for the inroads of in
sidious disease cutting him down in
his prime.
Colonel Max. Frost was born at New
> Orleans on New Years day, 1852. He
received the advantages of a good
schooling. but his parents died when
he was a mere boy, his father being
slain in battle at the age of So, anc
his mother dying when she was A
years old There were three brothers
and three sisters and Colonel Frost
f essayed out into the world to heW
his own fortune. The year 1875
+ found him in Santa Fe as chief clerl
in the Signal Service of the u. S
Army, overseeing the construction o
e telegraph line through a country in
, tested with Indians and which tool
him through what is now Union, Quay
Guadalupe counties, dashing army
officer, who made friends wherever
he stopped, friendships that lastet
, until death From Santa Fe, the line
was built southwark to Ell Paso ant
west to Phoenix, Arizona, and COlone
: Frost covered every foot of it, laying
the foundations for that intimate
knowledge of every portion Of thu
! southwest and its people that came
+ him to good stead in later years.
e was on the 10th of April, 1876, /
r D. M, that he registered his name a
d the Fonda, later the Exchange hotel
and from that time on dates his jour
