Taft Arouses Enthusiasm
bv His Praise of Gov. johnson

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 1S.--Speaking in
the auditorium this afternoon, President
Taft aroused a storm of enthusiasm by
paying a striking tribute to Governor
johnson. The president was introduced
by Senator Clapp. who read to the au-
dience the message OF greeting sent today
by Governor Johnson from the hospital
at Rochester.
When the introduction was finished and
at a given signal, the throng of spec
tators, with one accord, whipped into the
air thousands of small American flags
and waved them franticaIly, cheering at
the same time.
ct cannot tell you how much I appre-
ciate your greeting without first telling
you how touched I was by the message
sent to me by your strick governor.
THAT he, on a bed of pain. should have
sent me such a greeting, carries me back
to the many times that in visiting Min
nesota, I have received from him such a
sincere welcome in behalf OF the state
that loves him so well. And I unite with
you in the fervent prayer to God that
he may be spared to you and to the
country.
His ability. his great courage. his COM
mon sense, cannot be spared. He Is too
valuable to the people OF his state and
to the people Of the nation. who doubt.
less will insist in time that he shall serve
them
President Taft paid a tribute to Sc
Paul, and Minneapolis, and said they
should be united with a borough of St
Paul and a borough of Minneapolis.
After the auditorium meeting. the presi
dent was escorted to the capitol for an
inspection of that building. From there
the party returned to Minneapolis.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Unitcd
States Treasurer Charles H. Treat has
resigned from that ofrice, his resigna-
tion to take effect in October. No sue
Sessor has yet been chosen, so far as
is known.
The announcement OF the resignation
was authorized by Mr.. Treat.
Mr.. Treat said that his resignation
would take effect some time in Octo-
ber" This means that he will await
the appointment by the president of a sue
cessor, who it is expected will be an
nounced shortly.
Large and growing business interests
and the death of some Of his associates
who have directed his private business af-
fairs, Mr.. Treat said, have made 1t i'm
perative that he should give these matters
his immediate and exclusive attention.
He was asked II he contemplated connec-
ton with one of the large banking insti-
tutions and he replied that hecould not
discuss that at this time.
Mr.. Treat has been in close touch with
some OF the leading banking interests in
New York and is an intimate friend of
Senator Aldrich.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

Saturday morning Judge k:rwan ASK
ed for Fred Anthem, convicted OF crlml-
nal libel. He and his attorney, Fred
Dicke, walked the seven miles from Two
Rivers in the afternoon, through the
blizzard, the street cars being out of
commission on account of the snow. Mr..
Dicke made brief plea for clemency
and the court then imposed fine of one
hundred dollars, the same rs that OF the
lower court. The costs bring the amount
no to 1868, which the defendant i'm
medately paid.
10 1900 Chas Radinz mortgaged his
house and lot to Frederick Kubitz, his
father.in law. In 1905 the latter died
not having collected the debt. His heirs
later all quit claimed to Radinz. Upon
this apparently clear title money was
loaned to Radinz and a mortgage taken.
Later creditors of Kubitz had an ad-
ministrator of his estate appointed who
proceeded to foreclose the RadlnZ kublfZ
mortgage. The subsequent mortgage
claims this mortgage was released by
the quit claim of heirs. The tangle
was up in circuit court Friday and was
put over to the June term to see If the
creditors claims would be sustained in
the county court in March.
Divorces were granted last week in
the cases of the Zehms, Graycart ks ana
IhlenfeIds. The Handl case WAS settled,
the parties agreeing to agree hereafter
after six separations. In the Graycarek
case Judge Kirwan would not approve
of the money settlement, believing 1t
unjust to the wife although the attorn-
eys had agreed upon the amount. Anna
Drews was granted a divorce on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treatment.

19OS3 held their commencement exercis'
es at the school assembly room last Fri
day evening The weather man did his
best to keep down the attendance but a
crowd that packed the room braved the
storm and greeted the young people.
The room was decorated with the school
colors, red and black, the class colors,
blue and pink, and the class flower, the
rose. The girls glee club opened the
program and gave rendition that was
n revelation to those who have not kept
posted on musical progress of late in the
schools Lilda Dedrick, as class presi-
dent related the history of 19OS4 and
hazarded prophecy of the future. She
made decidedly good impression.
Monica Conway, secretary, followed with
a roll call which was answered by apt
quotations from the classics. Hazel
Lind.tedt who followed livened things up
bit by a reading on The Philosophy
of Mrs. Wigs, the humor of the per
petually amusing lady of the cabbage
patch losing nothing in the rendition.
Joseph Murphy performed his part in
splendid style, his theme being 'One

upon the career of Lincoln in exempli-
fcation of it.
