Mayor Thompson had pro (laimed it a day of publie mourning. The mayor and councilmen acted as p)ailbearers. All the way along the route to St. Paul flags wert at half mast and building.s draped with erepe. At Zombrota the entire population of the town seemed to be at the sta ion. A touching fealtiure was the ap pearance of a large number of school children lined up along the platform each provided with the national col ors pointed downward. Similar re-! ceptions were accorded the special train at other points along the rou-te. At St. Paul the train was met by detachmen.ts of all the local comp)a nies of tihe National Guard and an es cort of police.

Gustav Johnson was a blacksmith and for a number of years he conduct ed his business on a farm near St. Peter. On this farm the future gov ernor was born; About the time of the Indian troubles in that neigh borhood during tie Civil war the Johnsons moved to the village of St. Peter. where the fat'her re-established his shop, but he failed to prosper in town and finally died, leaving his fam ly in ioverty. John worked in stores and supported his nother and in the meantime formedl the reading habit and mianaged to obtain .a good educa tion. Finally an opportunity opened for him to become editor and part ownaer of the St. Peter Herald. His paper was popu'ar and he was also ini demand as a sp)eaker at public meetings. His tirst venture in polities resulted inl a detfea t for State stnator in 1894, jiust after lie had married Miss Eli nIore M. Preston. a teae-hier. In 1898 .he was again aonminated by the Democrats fo.r the senate and was elected. Here lie enhanced his rep utation as a public speaker and a sty dlent of Political questions, but made some enemies in his own party when he defended the American soldiers in the Philippines and the conduct of the niatio)nal administration. But if he lost Democratic support he gained more from t,he Republicans and wihen in 1.904 he was nominated for goveirn or by the Democratic Sta.te conven tion he was elected. Two years later he was elected overwhelmingly. When it was prop)osed to nominate him for a third time for governor declared he would not be a candidate, but he was unanimously .renominated and was again elected by a big majority. Gov. Johnson for the last few years was, in demanid for a speaker .at political ga.therings and ehatauquas. Johnson's Last Words. Roidhester. Minn., September 21.
