COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
DEATH OF GOV. JOHNSON.
Governor John A. Johnson of Minne
sota died in the hospital at Rochester,
Minn., at 3:35o'clock Tuesday morning,
following a surgical operation to which
te had submitted six days previously.
He was operated on on Wednesday of
last week for a complication of troubles.
An old abscess was removed and many
adhesions of the bowels were severed,
and at the same time an operation was
also performed for hernia. Without the
operation he could have lived but a very
snort time at most, and when finally he
concluded that it must be performed,
he waa in such a weak physical condi
tion as to preclude the possibility of his
Bpriving the strain. For a time he
JjAltied, and those about him entertained
Jfope for his recovery, but he began
sinking at 11 o'clock Monday night and
at 6 o^lock Tuesday morning the medi
cal attendants announced that the end
was rapidly approaching and that he
could at best live but a few hours.
The governor became unconscious
about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, but
the report says that just preceding that
hour he realized that the end was near,
and patting his wife on the cheek his
last words were: "Well. Nora, I guess
I am going, but I have made a good
fight." Prior to that hour the gover
nor had told his wife what to do with
his. property and personal effects and
had personally thanked the physicians
who were attending him.
Physicians say the trouble resulted
from the effects of chronic appendicitis
for which he was operated on seven
years ago and that had the recent op
eration been made or six months
Smostgovernor'sfour
the life could easily
e been saved.
the death of John A. Johnson this
ntry has lost one of its brightest
and promising public men. a
nobleman by nature, and a statesman
who had few peers among the men in
public life in this country today. The
whole country vies with his native
state of Minnesota in mourning the un
timely demise of a great and good man.
PEOPLE AND PRESIDENT.
The series of enthusiastic pop
ular receptions with which Pres
ident Taft is being greeted as he
progresses westward are not by
any means unique. They indi
cate simply the loyal attitude of
the American people toward the
head of their governmental sys
tem. A foreign observer who
should note the strenuous energy
with which a presidential cam
^paignl is conducted along party
lines would naturally be unpre
pared for the elimination of party
lines in the receptions to the
winner in the presidential con
test when he appears in any sec
tion of the country following his
election. He is not the president
of a party he is the president of
the whole people, and in that
light the whole people regard
him.
Thus the President has been
making stops in states which
turned in pluralities for him last
November. But the popular
greetings will be equally cordial
w e n e e a e s e a s a n
Louisiana. In fact.no other state
has been so persistent in the ef
fort to prolong the stay within
the state borders and to vary the
visitation program as Texas, the
state that gave the banner plur
ality against the President. The
trip, as Mr. Taft remarked be
fore starting, is no idle pleasure
jaunt, during which the Presi
dent will merely view the scenery
in reposeful ease. It is a journey
involving not only a large amount
of physical hustle, but a continu
ous and long-drawn-out expendi
u e o e n a e o e
s e e h- a k i n o i a i o n s i n
volved in the 13,000-mile journey
are something prodigious. But
the trip is well worth the ex
penditure of effort which it en
tails. When it is finished there
will be a better understanding
and an increased reciprocity of
good feeling between the Presi
dent and the 100,000,000 of peo
ple who live under the govern
ment of which he is the executive
head.
Peary says that in six months
the whole truth will be known
about the discovery of the North
Pole. That is a long time to ex
pect an impatient public to wait,
especially when its natural curi
osity has been keyed up by ac
cusations of "gold-bricking" and
"bad faith. The merits of the case
are yet unknown, but Dr. Cook's
attitude is winning the popular
sympathy.
Seattle's exposition is said to
be a big success financially—a
fact that will do much to correct
the popular fallacy that all such
affairs are perforce money-losing
propositions. It depends largely
on the management.
A New York judicial authority
has been asked to decide whether
a man's grave can be seized and
sold for his debts. Whatever the
abstract justice of the proposi
tion, remarks an exchange, there
is something so revolting to hu
man nature's most sacred i n
stincts in business which carries
its claim beyond the grave that
no one was surprised to find the
court forbade the desecration of
the dead. There was something
too ghoulish in the mere proposal,
A prominent Englishman, mem
ber of the nobility, who recently
visited Winnipeg, predicts an
inevitable war between England
and Germany unless England is
prepared. The spectreof the Ger
man invasion has apparently be
come an obsession with some
British minds.
Admiral Dewey does not want
to be admiral of the Atlantic fleet
during the Hudson-Fulton cele
bration. He fears and flees the
fate of being killed with kindness
in the way of being wined and
dined to death.
The Eskimo companions of Dr.
Cook cannot be on hand to cor
roborate his story before spring,
and by that time it is expected a
controversy will be raging over
the discovery of the South Pole.
Death of Mrs. Jens Peterson.
After an illness of several
months, during most of which
time she was confined to her
room, Mrs. Jens Peterson died at
her home in this city on Wednes
day night, the immediate cause
of her death being heart trouble
and cancer of the stomach.
Miss Marie Hanson was born
in Denmark in 1847 and came to
this country at the age of 21
years, settling at Hayfield, Minn.,
where at the age of 20 years she
married John Lewison, and to
this union five children were
born—two sons and three daugh
ters—Lewis, now residing a
Sumner, Iowa, Peter, who has
been here for the past year or
more and was at his mother's
bedside when she died, Mrs.
Soren Moe and Mrs. Geo. Wicker,
both of Hayfield, Minn., and
Mrs. Geo. Sheffield of Woolstock,
Iowa. On March 16, 1890, Mrs.
Lewison was made a widow by
the death of her husband, who
died at the home in Hayfield, and
two years ago last spring was
united in marriage to Mr. Jens
Peterson of this city, coming to
Bowbells immediately following
the ceremony, and residing here
continuously since.
Deceased during her residence
in Bowbells made a large circle
of acquaintances, to all of whom
she became endeared as a true,
Christian woman, ever ready
with a kindly word and a pleas
ant smile for everybody, and
while her death is regretted by
all who knew her, both relatives
and friends knew well that it was
for the best, as life to her hence
forth would only mean a contin
uation of the most excruciating
suffering, with not the faintest
hope of recovery. The family
have the deepest sympathy of the
community in the loss of a loving
w i e a n o e w i e e
friends and acquaintances mourn
the loss of a true woman and
noble friend.
The remains were taken to the
Hunter undertaking rooms yes
terday, where they were pre
pared by Embalmer Kirschner
for shipment to the old home at
Hayfield, Minn., whither they
were taken on the midnight train
last night, accompanied by Mr.
Peterson and Peter Lewison, and
where on Saturday (tomorrow)
the funeral will take place from
the Norwegian Lutheran church
in that place and the remains be
consigned to a testing place in
the West St. Olof cemetery.
E. E. Hartman left on Sunday
for Minneapolis, where he is
spending the week selecting a
large stock of goods for his holi
day trade. He is expected back
on Sunday next.
