EXCERPTS FROM SPEECH THAT
MADE PROCTOR KNOTT FAMOUS

who have been so reckless of their
own personal safety as TO venture
away into those awful regions where
Duluth is supposed to be, that It is
so exactly in the center of the Wis
IDLE universe that the sky comes
down at precisely the same distance
all around it.
Then, sir, there is the climate of
Duluth, unquestionably the most sa-
lubrious and delightful TO be found
anywhere on the Lords earth Now,
l have always been under the impress
sion, as l presume other gentlemen
have, that in the region round Lake
Superior it was cold enough for at
least nine months in the year to
freeze the smokestack OF a locomo-
tive
But l see 1t represented on this
map that Duluth is situated exactly
half way between the ATTITUDES OF
Paris and Vienna, so that gentle
men who have inhaled the exhilarat-
ing airs of the one, or basked in
the golden sunlight of the other,
may see at a glance that Duluth
must be a place of untold delights,
terrestrial paradise, famed by the.
balmy zephyrs of an eternal spring.
clothed in the gorgeous sheen OF ever
blooming flowers and vocal with the
silver melodies of natures choicest
songsters."

Man Made Famous by a Single
Speech Passes Away at
Lebanon, KY.
TWO TERMS IN CONGRESS
Also Held Office of Governor of Ken
tucky and Filled Other Pub
lie Positions.
TWO TERMS IN CONGRESS

Lebanon, KY, June 19.-James
Proctor Knott, former governor of
Kentucky and prominent for many
years in congress, died yesteday at
his residence in this city. He was
SO years old and had been enfeebled
for several years.
Mr.. Knott was admitted to the bar
in 1851 and took up the practice Of
law at Memphis, Mo-, where he re-
sided until 1862. He was elected a
member of the Missouri legislature
in 1858 and was attorney general for
that state from 1859 until 1862.
He was elected to congress from
Kentucky in 1857 and served one
term. In 1877 he was reelected to
congress. From 1885 until 1857 he
was governor Of Kentucky.
MADE FAMOUS By SPEECH.
Mr.. Knott won more fame as a
humorist in an hour by delivering
a speech in congress ridiculing Du-
Iuth, Mimi, one January day in
1871 than probably ever came to
any one else from so short per-
Torrance. Some of Mr.. Knots
friends said, however, the first
speech finished his hopes as a law
yer, for the public from that day
refused to accept him except as a
humorist.
Mr.. Knott really was a man of
serious mind. For some years he
was professor of civics and econo-
mics and later dean of the law fac
ulty at Center college, KY. AS a
Kentuckian he was proud of the fact

Duluth! The word fell upon my
ear with a peculiar and indescribable
charm, like the gentle murmur of
a low fountain, stealing forth in the
midst of roses, or the soft, sweet &C
cents of an angels whisper in the
bright, joyous dream of sleeping in
nocence. Duluth!
Twas the name for which my
soul had painted for years, as the
hart panteth for the waterbrooks.
But where was Duluth? Never, in
all my limited reading, had my vi
sion been gladdened by seeing the ce-
lesial word in print. And / felt a
profounder humiliation in my ignor-
ance that It's dulcet syllables had
never before ravished my delighted
ear. 1 was certain the craftsmen of
this bill had never heard of it, or
it would have been designated as one
of the termini of this road. l asked
my friends about it, but they knew
nothing of it. 1 rushed to the H.
brary and examined all the maps 1
could find. / discovered in one of
them a delicate, hairlike line, diverg-
ing from the Mississippi, near
place marked Prescott, which / sup
posed was intended to represent the
River st. Croix, but / could nowhere
find Duluth. But the fact is, sir,
Duluth is pre-eminently a central
place, for I am told by gentlemen

tieth streets on the north side, and
Twentieth street between Second and
Third avenues on the west side, are to
be improved by the placing OF iron
posts by the Tri-City Railway company
to replace the wooden poles which now
support the wires of that corporation
At this mornings meeting OF the city
council Commissioner R. R Reynolds
submitted a resolution, together with
a blue print, covering the proposed
change The resolution was unanimous
" adopted and the railway company
will begin the work as soon as the ma
terial is on hand
There are 40 Of the new posts and
they are all to be 35 feet in height.
They will be placed for the most part
along the curb line and on property
lines. They will be located as far as
possible directly opposite each other.
In a few places eye-bolts are 10 be

far as possible the posts are TO be
away from the corners.
PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST..
There was read a petition signed by
80 property owners along Thirteenth
avenue between Twenty-fifth and Thir-
tieth street, protesting against the pro
posed change of routing the Long View
extension and the delay of the Tri-City
Railway company in carrying out the
work according to the ordinance grant
ed by the old city council. The own
ers want the company to bring Thir-
teenth avenue to grade and maintain
the bridge which spans the ravine
there. The petition was received and
placed on file.
Commissioner Hart submitted a Pc
tition signed by 10 property owners
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-06-19

along Eleventh street between Fifth
and Sixth avenues who object to tae

laid over for consideration.
SEVERAL CLAIMS ALLOWED.
Claims of the Germania Savings
bank Of Pittsburg for $6,143.54. or
Hartz and Bahnsen company for
$417.ss; Of the State bank for s31-50;
Of Frank Westbay for IS and of James
Warner for s4S were allowed on mo
ton Of Commissioner Martin T. Rud-
gren. The claim of the Pittsburg bank
is for the voucher issued to the Pit:s-
burg Filter company by the city. That
of the drug company is for alum, that
of the local bank for interest on Dor
rowed amounts, that Of Mr.. Westbay
for back pay and that of Mr.. Warner
for service rendered as inspector OF
the Seventh ward severe system west
of Thirty-eighth street
The tax levy ordinance submitted
week ago by Commissioner NJ. T. Rud-
gren was adopted. The railway ordt
nance in regard to free transportation
to include county officials and town
which the railway company passes
was brought to the attention of the
council, but 1t has not been consid-
cred. It will be brought up later.
WORK FOR PRISONERS.
Supervisor S. R. Wright, who has
been at the head of the committee OF
the county board seeking to establish
a workhouse or some such scheme Ecs
the employment of prisoners was be-
fore the council to ask for action by
the city. A public workhouse is not
to be considered and the question CT
placing the men at work on the roads
will be weighed. The city commits
sion is in favor OF putting the Prison
ers at work on the roads, but as this
will necessitate expenditure of the
city funds and not those of the county.
the city is backward about the move.
Not that the commission considers the
project unfavorable. Rather the com
mission is heartily for it, but at he
present time the city finances are at a
low ebb and the additional expense
cannot be borne now. The city is al
xious to improve Ninth street and tC
keep the Twelfth street road in repair,
but all Of the city teams are at pres
ent in use by the health department.
Mr. Wright was asked to meet infor-
mally with the council late in the
week. then the matter will be worked
out so that action may be taken in the
near future.

The first position I held came to
me through the Y NJ. c. A. The sec
rotary recommended me, and l was
employed upon his recommendation,
and I do not know of any better rec
ommendation that a boy can have
than that he is a member Of the Y. M.
c. A, and one whom the secretary can
recommend" So said C. r. Ringson
in his talk to the the boys of the 5. G.
NJ. at the Y. NJ. c. A yesterday after
noon on Opportunities in Business
Life" Mr.. Ringson was heard by
good audience of boys, and he gave
them a talk filed with excellent ad-
vice and Information. There are pien-
ty Of chances for success in business
for the boy who will work, according
to Mr.. Rtngson. It Is not necessary
for boy to go to Chicago or st. Louis
to get start in a store, for there is
plenty of room in the business houses
at home for the right kind of boys. The
boy Of good character, honest and in
dustrious, IS the one who can get
ahead. He must not work with MS
eye on the clock, and his mind out on
the baseball diamond, but he must be
willing to give his whole thought to
his work, and to work overtime If ne
cessary. He ought to try to do just a
little more than his employer is pay
ing him to do If he wishes to get aG-
vancement. The training that the boy
gets during his first few months or
years in a store is worth more TO hin.
as a preparation for his future sue
cess than his services are to the mer-
chant who employs him, and so the
boy ought to be an earnest worker. .
