MOrgan's Harvest Festival.

Quite a number from this city
attended the harvest festival at
Morgan last Thursday and Friday.
Millard Root, Mike and Joe Lauter-
bach assisted the Morgan band, W.
G. Owens touched off the oratorical
fireworks in an opening speech the
first day, and on the second day a
larger delegation went down after
getting a tip from Billy Owens that
there was a stunning big show of
fruits, vegetables and grains at
Morgan, as indeed there was. Presi-
dent Durham went down with Mrs.
Durham to see the display and ne
gotiate with the Morgan people for
having it brought to the county fair
this week. Those who come here
during the next three days will haye
chance to see this remarkably fine
collection here for themselves. That
there should be two or three really
good orchards near Morgan is not
remarkable. But that almost a doz-
en- farmers Of that vicinity should
have been able to make such exhib-
its, considered both in point of
quality and variety, was matter of
surprise to most of the visitors.
Besides this display, the Morgan
committee kept the crowds amused
with street games and trapeze spec
ialties by the Bernards, and planned
to have Huntsberry and his moving
pictures at the town hall. Mr..
Huntsberry and his films were on
hand ali right, but through an exas-
perating blunder on the part of the
house which undertook to furnish
his Illuminating gas, was unable to
deliver the pictures and could only
pledge himself to make good by CIV
ing his entertainment at Morgan
later on.
Morgan's business men are to be
congratulated on their enterprise in
securing such fine display, which
we understand is to be taken east
by the Burchard Land Co. and will
prove splendid advertisement for
Redwood county's productiveness,
especially in the matter Of fruits.

Want DR.. Dubois for Third Term.

The congregation of the M. E.
church, by their official board, have
extended a unanimous request to
the powers that cont rol the annua
conference in session at Austin this
week to return to them DR.. Dubois
for another year and there is a
strong proba bility that their prayer
will be granted. The church pros
pered in all ways under DR.. Dubois
ministrations during the past two
years, and it would be a disappoint-
ment both to the members Of this
church and its sister congregations
if the Doctor should be called to an
other field. The Doctor and Mrs
Dubois departed for Austin last
Monday. President w. H. Gold Of
the laymen's conference intends to
go to Austin tonight to preside over
that department. S. G. Peterson
was on the layman program but is
unable to go this week on account
Of his business engagements.

Rev. R. F. Chambers Resigns.

Rev. R. F. Chambers last Sunday
morning read from the pulpit his
resignation as pastor Of the Presby-
terrain church of this city. Mr..
Chambers gave no other reasons for
taking this step than that such a
step seemed to be for the best inter-
ests Of the church, and accompanied
the statement with the warmest
expression of attachment for his
friends here and for the community
in which he had passed three very
pleasant years, which would end
next November, when he wished to
be relieved. THE GAZETTE voices a
general regret over the causes which
have led Mr.. Chambers to ask to be
relieved. Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers
have gained the respect of the en-
tire community here during their
three years residence, and their
departure will be regretted by all.
A congregational meeting will take
action on the resignation in about
two weeks.

Fine Farms Change Owners.

David McNaughton's large farm
in Delhi township. comprising about
315 acres was sold last week to J. A.
Johnson of Alledo. Ill.,, the consider
alton being $4,000. The farm has
good improvements in the way of
house, barn and farm buildings, but
undoubtedly the thorough-going til
lage of Mr.. McNaughton during the
twenty years in which he has been
converting the raw prairie into a
pleasant farm home had much to do
with the sale of the tract at a very
satisfactory figure for both parties.
JOS. Tyson last week sold his quar-
ter section farm east of this city to
j. w. Moran of Fairbnry, ILL.,, the
consideration being $50 per acre.
The farm had good buildings and
it goes without saying that Tyson's
dairy farm is in an excellent condi-
ton for tillage.

County Fair Opens Today.

Unless the weather which threat
ened yesterday takes a turn for the
worse this morning. the prospects
are excellent for a good display at
the fair this week and large at
tendance.
The exhibits will be necessarily
scattered, and all within reach of
the center of the city. The stock
will be found at the corner on Sec
ond street, northwest from the jail,
the produce in the Apitz building
next to Pease's hardware store, the
poultry in the Lichtwarck building
east of THE GAZETTE few doors,
and the domestic and art depart
ments and school exhibit in the
court house. the same as last year.
The amusement attractions are scat
tered over the streets and there will
be no difficulty in locating these.
Every loyal supporter of the ma
tional game in this vicinity will find
it worth while to attend the games
this afternoon and for the two fol-
lowing days at Lakeview park. The
St. Paul colored Gophers are pro-
fessional ball players who have been
making a procession of triumph
through the northwest, with very
few defeats charged up against
them. Manager Peavey has REIN
forced his team so that the visitors
will have to at least earn their VIC
tories here.

High School Notes.

School has started up better than
ever this year. With such an ex-
cellent corps of teachers this year
is sure to be pleasant one.
One hundred and seventeen are
enrolled in the high school and three
hundred twenty in the grades.
Miss Leubner is to teach high
school cooking classes this year and
the girls are to have caps, aprons
and sleeveless of white.
The normal class is organized with
nine members and course promises
to be enjoyable as we'll as instruc-
tive.
The seniors rounded up the first
week Of school and found that the
addition of three new members made
them class of thirty. Both pupils
and teachers enjoyed good time on
Scenic View Heights.
Miss Shove was compelled to lose
the first week Of the school year on
account of the illness of her sister.
Miss Jessie Parish substituted in her
place.
The sewing classes took up their
work this week. Cooking, sewing
and manual training classes will
probably take exhibits to the fair.
The high school affair of Saturday
night promised to be a grand sue
cess but though the rain clouded the
grand part of the affair, it must
still be called a success, for the boys
are out Of debt and fifteen dollars
ahead and we all had good time,
eating candy, ice cream and cake.
Hurrah! Two days for county
fair. Thursday and Friday will be
holidays this week so that everyone
can ride on the merry-go-round t
! their hearts content.

With Miss Sullivan DR.. McNevin
half carried Mrs. Johnson out of
the hospital and to DR.. Will j.
Mayo's automobile at $3.50 a. m.
Watchers Immediately asked him
what Mrs. Johnson's departure
meant.
.'He died at 1885," said DR.. Nc
Neyin. The physician was sobbing
bitterly, tears rolling down his
cheeks. He had been close friend
of Governor johnson.
A few moments later the big bell
of Central school in Rochester began
to peal. Forty-eight strokes were
tolled- for each year of the
governors life.
John A. johnson was born in St.
Peter July %, 1861, of Swedish par
ents, and his schooling was almost
wholly confined to what he was able
to get in the public schools before
being obliged to go to work as
bre ad-winner. his first employment
being in a drug store, where he con-
tinued for nearly ten years. In
1866 he became one of the editors of
the ST. Peter Herald and notwith-
standing his adherence to the minor
ity party. his paper soon took the
lead and maintained it against able
Competitors. Editor Johnson was a
favorite among his newspaper as
sociates as he has been in politics.
He was active in other directions,
being connected with Company of
the National Guard for eight years,
most of the time as captain. He
was elected to the state senate in
1899 and 1904 to his first term as
governor, to which he was easily re-
elected at each recurring election
by increasing majoritses.
His successor, now Governor Eb-
erhardt, is nearly ten years younger,
was horn in Sweden and reared in
and about Mankato and educated in
Gustavus Adolphus college. St. Pet.

been in and out of the sick room
and the hospital all night, but was
not present at the time of Governor
Johnson's death.
Just as Governor Johnson was
lapsing into the final period of I'M
consciousness at 1:30 a. m. he shook
hands with each of those present at
the bedside and babe each goodbye.
The hour previous he had spent
in saying goodbye to his wife.
At no time did he ask whether he
was going to live or die. He seemed
to realize that the end had come.
Frank A. Day, the governors Sec
rotary, who has been almost con-
slant companion and counselor for
many years, was in the hospital,
but did not see his chief before he
died.
With Day was Fred. B. Lynch,
national committeeman. They had
reached Rochester about 10 p. m.
For about an hour, beginning
shortly after midnight, Governor
Johnson talked steadily to his wife
while conscious, which at that time
was most of the time.
Il guess I'm going, Norah," he
said time after time. He held his
wife to him, stroking her hands and
face.

one time.
It was not known whether he
meant his brother. Fred Johnson,

GOVERNOR JOHNSON'S DEATH
OCCURRED YESTERDAY MORNING
Closing Moments Passed With Stricken Mfe-Was Conscious of
Approaching Death and Met His Fate CourageousIy.

After nearly a week of anxiety
over the contradictory statements
which came alternately from the
operating table at the Mayo hospital
Rochester and later from the bed
side of Governor Johnson, the news
came yesterday that Governor John
A. Johnson had been vanquished at
last, by a power which ultimately
brings the best as we'll as the great
est to sudden stop sooner or later.
The bulletins during the past week
have been read by almost every fam
lily in the land, so that to go oyer
the history of the causes of the gov
ernor's death would be superfuous.
1t would also be superhuous to at
tempt to characterize the wonderful
personal attractions which made
John A johnson idolized by men of
all classes, conditions and nationali-
ties. Had he survived the results of
the surgical operation to which he
submitted in the vain hope and ex-
pectation of maintaining a measure
of health after months ofpain which
he endured patiently-had Governor
johnson regained even measure of
his health instead of fastened to his
death, there is no question but that
he could have had almost any office
or favor he might have desired from
the people of Minnesota by simply
making his wish known.
The following is the Journal &C.
count of the closing scenes:
Shortly after midnight Governor
johnson began to have short lapses
into Inconsistencies. At first they
were very brief, and at other times
his mind was fairly clear.
In the room were Mrs. Johnson,
Miss Margaret Sullivan, Mrs. John
sons bosom friend, Miss Jamme.
