there was to it was that either the
governors office or e. E. Corliss
had failed to file the revised list of
employees and salaries, and that his
own department had overlooked the
matter for about two months.
The governor is officially the Gus
todian of the building and e. e. Cor
liss is in active charge of the work.
The law gives them specified ap-
preparation to maintain the capitol.
with which they can hire as many
or as expensive men as they see ut.
The salary raises had all been agreed
upon by Corliss and Ralph w. Vince
lock, the governors secretary, but
they forgot to give the auditor Off
cial notice. When the monthly pay
roll came, signed by Mr.. Battley,
which was perfectly regular, the au-
ditor's department paid each employe
and forgot to insist upon the official
certificate from the governors Of
fee.
1t is the custom at the beginning
of each term for each department to
send the state auditor certified
list of its employees and the salary OF
each and to give him notice when
any changes are made. The governor
sends list of his executive staff
and of all the employees under the
custodian and also notifies the audi
tor every time he makes any appoint
ment to the head of a department.
This time the official notice was
forgotten.

weeks at home. He notes with in
terest the strong sentiment for
Speaker Clark at the recent confer

and it is clear to Mr.. Hammond that

Clark as presidential possibility.
"There was strong sentiment for
Clark" said Mr.. Hammond, among

in private conversation"
The conference also deplored the
fact, according to Mr.. Hammond, that

attachments. Losses incurred from
spring freshets and finally the total
destruction of the plant by fire in
the fall of 1862, rendered this in
vestment rather improbable. Dur
ing the great excitement incident to
the Sioux war, Mr.. Dukes was APP
pointed provost marshal, with the
rank of captain, and had command
of the towns of Mankato and South
Bend, which he put under military
discipline. When, upon the evacua-
tion of New Ulm, the refugees of
that town and all the adjacent coun-
try, many wounded and sick, and all
destitute, came pouring like a flood
into Mankato, the duties of those
in authority were appalling. The
vacant stores and dwellings, whose
owners had fled the country, were
of shelter, and the cattle and the
produce of field and garden every
where confiscated for food, under
the law of military necessity. Mr..
Dukes was, also, appointed commits
sary and rendered efficient service
in each trying position. Upon the
close of the Sioux war he returned
to Peru, Ind, where he has ever
since resided, to form a co-partner-
ship with his friend E. II. Shirk, in
place.
Engaged in Business.
From 1866 to 1870, he was en-
gagged in the grocery and pork pack
ing business, and from 1870 to 1881,
he was mostly employed as dealer
in real estate. He laid out two
large additions to Mankato, which
bear his name and, also, two addi-
tons to Peru, Ind. Since 1881, he
has been connected with Indiana
Manufacturing company of Peru,
one of the largest enterprises of the
kind in the state-first as receiver,
and later as vice president and man.
ager, and the success of that great
business institution is largely due to
his untiring energy and financial
tact
He was married September 81,
1858, to Mary Ann, daughter of Rev.
James Thomson, the pioneer min
lister of Mankato, by whom he had
two children: Ebert j., and Will
lam, the latter deceased. His wife
died in May, 1898, and in November,
1900, he was again married to Miss
Mary Rose Thomson, a niece of his
first wife.

Mr.. Dukes had been one of the
prominent men of Peru for great
many years. His benefactions there
were many One of the most notable
was his gift of hospital to the city.
He was greatly interested in Man.
kato and was liberal giver to every
legitimate undertaking that meant for
the betterment of this city.
Mr.. Dukes made frequent visits to
Mankato, being heavily interested in
what is known as Dukes addition. A
few years ago he disposed of a large
portion of the unoccupied land to
Messrs. Manning and Wellman of Ce
dar Rapids, Iowa, who in turn plated
the strip into lots and sold them to
buyers on easy terms.
Mr.. Dukes last visit here was in
connection with the location Of the
Catholic mother house and academy
