JOHN LIND DECLINES |: s
STATES REASON WHY HE SHOULD
T. NOT HEAD DEMOCRATIC y
TICKET.
IN A LETTER TO CHAIRMAN DAY
Disposition Exists Not to Accept State
ment as Last Word-Believes
He is Ine'ig-
ibIe.

st. Paul.-John Lind's statement
that he will not be candidate or the
Democratic ticket for the governor
ship is now in the hands of the Mime
sofa Democratic leaders.
Frank A. Day, chairman of the com
mittee, to whom the letter was ad-
dressed, returned from Fairmont, and
found the letter waiting for him. Mr..
Day is consulting with his friends and
the exact text of the letters will not
be given out until the matter has been
fully considered.
Mr.. Lind takes the position, it is
understood, that the law relative to
the members of the board of regents
being candidates for any other office
during the time for which they have
been elected, is inhibitive, and that
1t would be folly to nominate him un-
der the conditions.
He recites his reasons for not being
g. candidate and expressed the opinion
that some other man can be nominal
ed and elected.
The Democrats are apparently not
willing to accept Mr.. Lind's declina-
ton as final. They say the law rela-
tive to the board of regents is not
binding, because the constitution it.
self fixes the status of candidates for
office, and that any law which as
sumes to override the constitution
would not necessarily be binding.

M. MULLEN OF NEW ULM DIES.
Prominent Old Settler, Long Identified
With Banking Business.

New Ulm. - M. Mullen, seventy-one
years old, prominent old settler of
this city, died of paralysis at this
home here. In March Mr.. Mullen
sought to benefit his health by a trip
to Texas, but the journey benefited
him but little and he began to fail
upon his arrival home.
Mr.. Mullen was born in Vermont
and came to St. Peter in the early
days and to New Ulm as early as
'69. He was long identified with the
Citizens bank here, which bank be-
came a state bank and then a national
bank. He was president of the Min.
nesota & Dakota Cattle company.

CHIEF JUSTICE DEAD
Melville FULLER, HEAD OF u.
S. SUPREME COURT SUD-
DENLY EXPIRES.
HOLDS OFFICE FOR ~ YEARS
Death Comes From Heart Failure and
Was Wholly Unexpected and Re-
moves One Of Most Distinguished
Members OF American Bench,

Washington, July 5.-Chief Justice
Melville Weston Fuller, for nearly
twenty-five years the presiding officer
of the United States supreme court,
died suddenly July at his summer
home in Sorrento, Me. His death,
which was wholly unexpected, was
caused by heart failure. He had been,
apparently, in excellent health for the
last few days.
The death of Chief Justice Fuller
removes one of the most distin-
guished members of the American
bench and jurist whose abilities
were recognized and admired through
out the world
It also places in the hands of Presi-
dent Taft the privilege of naming his
successor, and the opportunity to ap-
point chief justice of the United
States supreme court comes to but
few presidents.
Chief Justice Fuller was a citizen
Of Chicago and member of the bar
Of that city when he was appointed to
the supreme bench by President Cleve-
land, in 1888, and It Is regarded in
political circles at the capital as high
ly probable that Chicago man
Lloyd w. Bowers, now solicitor gen.
eral of the United States-may be
placed on the supreme bench as a re-
suit of the death of the chief justice.
A Great American.
To Chief Justice Fuller fell the
honor of third rank for lentgh of serv-
ice as presiding rank for leng dluu
ice as presiding justice in the high
est tribunal of the American govern
ment.
For % years he was chief justice
of the supreme court of the United
States. Chief Justice Marshall pre-.
sided over the court for "a years and
Chief Justice fancy for % years.
With the future rests the determine.
ton of his rank among the eight
chief Justices of history for ability and
accomplishments.
Before Grover Cleveland sent his
name to the senate on April 80, 1883,
for confirmation as chief justice, he
was practically unknown except to
members of the legal profession. In
Maine, where he was born on Feb1u.
airy II, 1888, he had been known US
a well-behaved, rather scholarly lad
He had gone to Bowdoin college, and
incidentally, there won most Of the
prizes for elocution. He had gone
down to Harvard law school for one
year.
His Great Argument.
From 1856 to 1883 he lived in Chi
cago, but attracted little attention out
side his immediate circle Of friends
and associates at the bar until he
undertook the defense of Bishop
Cheney on a charge of herecy. His
knowledge of ecclesiastical history

Value Of Married Friendship,

Possibly there would be more mar
r1ed lovers If men and women alike
realized that marriage should not be
a bar to friendship with the opposite
sex. 1t Is next to impossible that a
wife should find in her husband, or
husband find in his wife. every quail
tlcation for mental friendship, yet this
does not mean that the wife may not
consider her husband the only man in
the world worth being married to, or
the husband does not consider his
wife to be the one mate he wanted.

STORM HITS TOWNS /
WIND, HAIL AND RAIN CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE IN
WESTERN MINNESOTA.
TELEGRAPH WIRES ARE DOWN
Man Supposed To Be Circus EmpIoye
Found Dead At Watertown, S. D.
Gale Strikes Show, But the
Crowd Escapes.

minneapolis, Minn.-A wind storm,
accompanied by heavy rain, swept
western Minnesota and eastern South
Dakota, causing some damage to small
buildings in several cities and villages
and Slightly damaging the crops. The
storm seem to have followed a we'll
defined path west from Benson and
Madison, Mimi, and the brunt of it
was felt by Watertown, S. D., and
vicinity. AS far as can be ascertained
only one life was lost, and the only
persons injured are said to be en-
ployes of the Ringing Bros circus,
which was exhibiting in WATERFOWL.
Two are said to have had their arms
broken.
The body Of an unidentified man
killed in the storm was found in the
Great Northern yards at Watertown.
A Ringing circus meal ticket is the
only clue to his identity. The show
! company has been wired for informa-
ton regarding any missing man.
The circus was in progress when
| the storm struck the big tent, but the
crowd dispersed in an orderly manner
and there was no semblance of a
panic. The tent was damaged by the
wind and one Of the circus platforms
was burned as the result of an over
turned gasoline lamp blown out by the
wind. The damage was not sufficiently
great to prevent the circus from leav-
| ing Watertown last night.
Wire Service Suffers.
In the vicinity of Watertown the
wind put the telegraph wires out of
commission, and the only communica-
ton with that city was by means of
the telephone. This necessarily Grip
| pied traffic on the Great Northern and
Minneapolis and st. Louis railroads
and all trains were routed with diff
| Guilty.
| The storm seems to have branched
! in the vicinity of Benson, one part of
| it going west and south, the other
| more directly south.
! At Grover, small town on the
Great Northern west of Benson, half
a dozen box cars were tossed off the
track and the depot damaged.
Benson suffered considerably from
wind. The Catholic church was struck
! by lightning and badly damaged. The
| roof of the city water tower was torn
off and carried several blocks. Wind
| and flying timbers smashed windows
| on every side.
Blocks of trees were torn up by the
roots and traffic along the line of the
Great Northern west of Benson was
greatly hampered by trees which had
lodged across the rails. A wrecking
crew was sent from Willmar to clear
the track and repair the damage done
at Grover.
Details from the scene of the storm
are meager on account of the inter-
rupted telegraph service South of
WATERFOWL, on the South Dakota Cen
trail, the wind is said to have blown
over three box cars standing on sid
ing.
In the vicinity of Madison, Mimi,
| it was reported that four or five barns
| were destroyed by the wind. A report
from Willmar says there was no dam
age in Kandiyohi county.

Ace Of NIAGARA Falls.

To the question:: "How old are the
Niagara falls?" biologists have re-
turned replies varying by tens Of
thousands Of years. At first it was
estimated that the Niagara river
came into existence through changes
in the level of the land around the
great lakes about $1,000 years ago.
Later this was reduced to only $4,000
years. Lyell increased the estimate
again to $500 years, and still later
other scientists lowered it to about g.
900 years.

and procedure aStOniShed those who
conducted the case, and his argument
OF the cause of the bishop before the
supreme court Of Illinois is referred to
still as forensic effort seldom if ever
surpassed in that court.
He was a delegate to the national
conventions of the Democratic party
in 1864, 1872, 1876 and 1880.
The nomination of Mr. Fuller, then
tlfty-five years of age, was followed by
a memorable contest in the senate.
The Judiciary committee, with it's
Republican majority, to which the
nomination was sent April 80, held
up the appointment until July 20.
Then the committee reported it to the
senate without recommendation"
For three hours that body debated
in executive session whether to con-
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sena-
tors Edmunds, Evarts and Stewart,
Senators Cullom and Farwell defended
him.
The reports that he had been a
"copperhead" during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the re-
qu1site ability as a lawyer were gone
over.
His Great Victory.
Finally, by a vote of IL to 20. his
nomination was confirmed
Since that day the entire court, as
it. then existed, has passed away with
the single exception Of Justice Har-
Ian. OF those prominent in the fight
over his confirmation only Senator
Cullom remains, and President Cleve-
land, who thus honored the Illinois
lawyer, has likewise gone to his
grave.
Throughout his service Chief Justice
Fuller was noted for the dignity with
which he filled the position. He pre-
served that manner on the bench or
OF.
Although small of stature, not more
than five feet seven inches, his wealth
Of silvery hair and classic features
made him commanding figure wher-
ever he appeared.
| Chief Justice Fuller leaves an I'M
delible stamp on the laws of the coun-
try. Among his most famous opinions
are the following:
His Faomus Decisions.
The income tax decision, in which
the income tax law was held to be
unconstitutional.
The Danbury hat case, by which la.
Dor unions were held to be amenable
to the Sherman antitrust law.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany versus the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in which the state was
denied the right to tax telegraph mes
| sages, except when interstate.
The Bank of Washington versus
| Hume, in which the insurable interest
Of the wife and children in the life
Of the husband and father was recog.
nized as distinguished from the claims
of creditors.
1nman versus South Carolina Rail
{ way company, in which the railroad
was denied the power to exempt it,
self from liability for its negligence
in the shipment of goods.
Moore versus Crawford, in which
married women were made to bear liza,
bilities, such as those growing out OF
the fraudulent sale of land, as well as
the legal rights.
Leisy versus Haddin, in which the
state was denied rights over original
packages Of liquor in interstate com
merce, an opinion which led to the
passage of the Wilson liquor law.

Want Liberal Vote.

In spite of this, If Lind were nomi-
mated, the Democrats would like to
put up man for second place who
would appeal to the liberal element in
opposition to the county option candi-
dacy of S. Y. Gordon for lieutenant
governor on the Republican ticket.
Stan J. Donnelly, of st. Paul, is
booked for the attorney generalship,
although this plan may be changed
in view OF the fact that Thomas D.
O'Brien will be nominated for the su-
preme court and Otto Bremen will be
nominated for state treasurer or Henry
G.. Haas will be named for some place
and the tendency would be to get
away from the danger of overlooking
the ticket with Ramsey county candi-
dates. Judge F. c.. Brooks of Min
neapolis. will be nominated for the
supreme court if he will permit the
use of his name.
Fred w. Johnson is likely to be
named for the place of secretary of
state.

Not Last Word.

Although the Democratic leaders are
considerably taken off their feet by
Mr.. Lind's letter, they are not dis
posed, at once, to accept it as the last
word.
In addition to their Interpretation
of the law passed by the legislature
relative to the eligibility of men hold
ing Office while on the board of re-
gents, they say that Mr.. Lind owes a
duty to the party and say no man has
been known to ignore unanimous
call to duty.
The only thing that puzzles them is
whether or not Mr.. Lind will make
good on his statement. They acknowl-
edge that the former governor is in
clined to have his own way and that
he may absolutely decline to run if
nominated without his consent. In
spite of this, their first inclination is
to nominate him and leave the rest
to chance.
In the background, the name of Con-
gresham w. S. Hammond, looms up
largely as a possibility.
With the head of the ticket in doubt.
Democrats are busily engaged in nam
ing the rest of their ticket. If Lind
were nominated for governor, one of
the most likely candidates for the Sec
ond place would be Charles A. Nye,
Of Moorhead. It seems unlikely that
Fred W. Johnson, Of New Ulm, will
be named for second place if either
Lind or Hammond were nominated.
The nomination of Lind and Johnson
would place too many Scandinavians
at the head of the ticket, while Ham
mond and Johnson would overload the
ticket with candidates from the Sec
ond district.
