DR.. D. K. PEARSON,S WISH
WILL NOT BE REALIZED

Chicago, April 26.-Dr. ID. X. Pear.
sons, whose millions have been ex
pended in an effort to bring happi
ness into the world Ior others, is
doomed to be disappointed in his
most cherished wish. He will not
live to be 100 years old. He is slow.
ly sinking to his death.
The direct cause of his illness is
a cold that has been aggravated by
slight attack of pneumonia. This,
with the infirmities of old age,
threatens to end the life of DR.. Pear
sons within the next twelve hours.
The cold first made it's appearance
week ago. Since that time DR..
Pearsons has been gradually declin-
ing until early last evening it was
announced that he could not live
through the night. But the hold on
life that had caused the philanthro-
pist to laugh at the ills that claimed
the lives of his business associates
generation ago helped him to fight
off death all of last night
Even in his present weak condi-
tion he obstinately refused to admit
that his ailment was worthy of at
tention by his physicians.

GOVERNOR SANG FOR ELKS
Executive Took Part in "Biowout'
at Minneapolis Last Night.

Executive Took Fart IN BLOWOUT
at Minneapolis Last Night.
Minneapolis, April 26.-Elks OF
Minneapolis last night celebrated the
twenty-sixth anniversary of Lodge
No. "A when coo members of the Or
der gathered at the West hotel to
dine. sing songs and tell stories.
A feature of the evening was the
arrival of Governor Eberhart at $3.50
D. IN. He was greeted with great
cheer. Whereupon the chief execu-
tive of the state sang, 81 Love You
Only" in manner surprising to
even his closest friends.
'Down the Current was the topic
of the greeting from st. Paul, spoken
by F. H. Moore of st. Paul. At
eleven o'clock Judge W. c. Leary de-
livered the commemoration address
on "Our Absent Brothers" "Our
Wives and Sweethearts" was the
toast of John w. Willis of st. Paul.
There were numerous other speak
ers and it was the ''wee sma' hours"
when Minneapolis and part of St.
Paul Elkdom rolled under covers.

TAFT DECLARES THAT
ROOSEVELT HAS NOT
BEEN. ON THE SQUARE

this evidence that the long friends ship
with his former chief was broken.
His principal Boston address was de.
livered in the arena to large crowd.
but before retiring to his private car
he spoke briefly to an overflow. meet.
lag in Symphony hall. His speech in
the Arena was delivered from manu-
script, prepared during the last few
days in Washington, carefully gone
over by members of his cabinet and
containing a detailed answer to many
of Mr.. Roosevelt's charges.
Mr.. Taft's speech bristled with coun.
ter charges against his predecessor in
the White House. He declared that
Mr. Roosevelt had wilfully misrepre-
sented him, had falsely distorted some
of his public utterances, had failed to
live up to his policy of a square deal
and had violated a solemn promise to
the American people not to be candi-
date for a third term. ..
"That promise and his treatment of
It," said Mr. Taft, "only throw an in
forming light on the value that ought
now to be attached to any promise of
this kind he may make for the future.
Colonel Seeks Life Term.
Declaring that Mr.. Roosevelt ought
not to be selected as candidate of
any party Mr. Taft said the former
president might now be paving the
way, if successful in the present cam
paign, to remain the chief executive
of the nation for as many terms as his
natural life would permit.
IF he is necessary now to the gov
eminent, why not later?' asked the
president, and continued:
"One who so lightly regards consti-
tutiOnal principles and especially the
independence of the judiciary, one
who is naturally impatient of legal re-
and who has so misunderstood what
liberty regulated by law is, could not
safely be entrusted with successive
presidential terms. I say this sorrow.
fully, but | say it with the full convic'
ton of its truth" ...
Mr.. Taft referred to some of Mr..
Roosevelt's charges against him as
"the loose and vague indictment of
one who does not know and who de-
pends only upon second hand informa-
tion for his statement"
The president said that his speech
was one of the most painful duties of
his life, that il was in response 10 an
obligation that he owed to the Re-
publican party which selected him as
it's candidate and to the American
people who elected him president
The Mankato free press., 1912-05-03

he demanded. I'm going to live tC
be 100 years old and don't you mis-
understand me. I've got eight years
more to enjoy this life and no doc
tors are going to talk me out oI
it."
DR.. Pearsons began life as school
teacher at the age of sixteen years
That was in 1886, and he taught
school in Vermont. Between that
year and 1890 he made his one object
in life the saving and accommodating
of money. The result was that in
1890 he possessed slightly more
than $6OOO,0OO.
But it was not as a miscr that he
boarded this wealth. He had pur-
pose in acquiring the money. He
worked for it, denied himself the
pleasures ordinarily looked upon as
the necessities of a normal existence,
i'm order that he might have great.
er pleasure.
The pleasure for which he was
waiting was that of giving his money
away. In this he was just as sue
cessful as he was in accommodating
money. In twenty-five years he has
given away practically every penny
of his fortune, even including his
home at Hinsdale.
In the giving of money DR.. Pear.
sons was just as systematic as he
was i'm earning it. He began by Civ.
ing to Beloit college. lie made it
provision of this gift that the col.
lege should raise an equal sum from

GRAIN MAKING GREAT SPURTS
Crop Conditions Are Most Excellent
in Redwood County.

Especial to The Free Press.l
Redwood Falls. Mimi, April 26.-
The heavy showers which fell in
this section of the state during the
past week are responsible for the
excellent crop conditions which pre-
vail in this vicinity at the present
time Nearly all the wheat sown
this spring is up and farmers are
well satisfied with the high percent
age of termination.
+ Farmers finished their grain seed
ing early because of the warm
weather. Many began seeding when
the frost was only two inches out of
the soil, and in many instances it
was impossible to seed during the
forenoon on account of the frozen
ground. Flowing is under way
throughout the county, while many
are busy fertilizing their land. All
the small grain has been sown and
conditions in general point towards
a bumper crop.
