Scranton Register: If Governor
Burke has given out any reason for
vetoing the bill OF maintenance of farm
institute work 1t has escaped our no.
tice. This particular exercise of the
veto by the governor doesn't elicit a
bowling burst Of applause from the
farmers judging from exchanges from
various locations The institute has
been the ready and rapid means Of dis
seminating practical ideas and methods
of up-to-date farming among the soil
workers of the state, and to them 1t
has been of vast and direct benefit
An effort will be made to provide the
proper funds for institute mainten-
ance by a popular method, working
through the commercial clubs OF towns
and villages. This plan, it is thought
by it's promulgators, will be the Least
burdensome Of any.
Upham Star: Judge Cowan's open

before the senate was one of the most

his accusers i'm most dramatic form,
and said the case had originated
among his political enemies who had
tried to down him for years by the bal
lot, and when they couldn't they sought
to put him out OF business through
impeachment. His speech made deep
impression over the state and is the
best stroke put UP by the defense.

dence as it is brought forth, and fur
thermore, let them remember that The
Herald isn't the one to decide the
case.
Fingal Herald. 10 a person I'm a
tree 1t appears as If Judge Cowan will
come out victorious in that impeach-
ment trial The accused jurist has at
least gained hundreds OF admirers by
his exhibition OF fighting ability and
gray matter since he has had a
chance to defend himself.
Lidgerwood Monitor There is one
instance in the Cowan case that no
fair minded man win approve and that
is the sending of scurrnous letters to
his wife, anonymously, and the news
paper clippings to his daughter who lis
attending school in st. Paul. Such
tricks as those are not done by people
who are guided by justice or decency.
Judge Cowan may or may not be a fit
ma INTO hold the position OF district
Judge-that cannot be any excuse for
those acts. Had they been sent to the
judge, It would not have been so bad.

AS TO THE HERALD.

The editor of The Upham star ap-
pears to be close observer. In re-
cent editorial he said:
The Grand Forks Herald is the
worst evil that this state has to con-
tend with In Journalism. III has agi-
tated and agitated until with it's demo-
cratic following 1t finally managed to
have Judge Cowan impeached and the
trial on that charge is now costing the
tax payers thousands Of dollars and in
consequence our schools and other
public institutions have to suffer for
lack of necessary appropriations for
needy improvements. Its latest hobby
Is favoring the reciprocity agreement
with Canada which everyone knows
will be great injury to our tillers Of
the soil and consequently affects all
lines of business. OF course 1t IS a
known fact that The Herald's influence
at home has dwindled to a mighty
small proportion Of the people of the
state, but by its stand it shows the
state up in a bad light to outsiders. 1t
Is like many men we know, their
knocks are Of no consequence at home
where they are known. but they leave a
bad impression upon strangers.

HUNT FOR PROOFS
OF The RHINESTONE

Fergus Falls, Mimi, April 27.--It is
reported from Ashby, twenty miles
south of here. that the Minnesota His
torical society soon will resume exca-
waiting for traces of the Norsernen who
are believed to have been killed there
In 1882. The work was begun on a
small scale last year and if relics are
found, 1t will definitely establish the
genuineness of the famous Kensington
rhinestone. The inscription on this
stone is to the effect that eight Goths.
(Swedes) and twenty-five Norweglans
We're upon journey Of discovery
westward from vinland. and while en-
gagged in fishing at a point where two
sherries, or rocks, put out into the
water, ten OF their companions wers
killed in camp.
I'VE returned home and found the
men red with blood and dead. Ave
Marie, save us from eviI,'' is the con-
clusion Of the inscription.
Spot Tables With Description.
The inscription states that the
tragedy occurred one days Journey
from the place where the stone was
found and point in Pelican lake, adj
joining Ashby, is just about one days
jurney from Kensington, and tallies
perfectly with the description on the
stone The point is heavily wooded
and runs we'll out into the lake, and
two huge rocks jut out In the manner
which the stone describes. The surviv~
ing members of the expedition were
fishing on one side Of the point, the
record says, when their companions
were slain on the other side. The Min.
nesota Historical society is planning
to erect a monument on the point as
soon as the necessary funds are Sc.
cured, as. 1t is believed that ten of the
original explores OF the continent were
there slain by Indians.
May Have Been knutson Party.
In this connection, an interesting
document has recently been found in
Norway, which may throw some light
on the identity of the expedition. This
document is a letter from the king
OF Norway to Paul Knutson, author
izing him to fit up an expedition to
30 10 NrESButAIlu 10 u&11L the ESklm0S
there and In lands beyond, in 1855
and did not return until 1854 The
Kensington Rhinestone bears the in
scriptions 1852. and 1t Is not at all
improbable that the venturesome
Norsemen OF this expedition pushed
westward, possibly by way OF Hud-
sons bay, and possibly BY way OF VIM
land. In either case. they would have
little difficulty In finding waters by
which they could travel to the center
OF the continent. the Red river or the
North, forming waterway direct
from Hudson's bay and the Great
Lakes, pointing la this direction from
the east. Professor Winchell OF tho
state university is confident that the
scene Of the. massacre described on the
stone has been correctly located, ana
the outcome Of the excavations win be
awaited with interest. Hjalmar r.
Holland, who has been especially ac-
tive in establishing the authenticity OF
the stones Is inclined to the belief that
the expedition came into this section
by way Of Hudson's bay.
