RAMSEY IS DEAD ‘MINNESOTA MOURNS DEATH OF ONE OF HER FOREMOST CITIZENS. ‘LONG AND USEFUL CAREER ENDS “WAS THE FIRST GOVERNOR OF . THE TERRITORY OF MIN- NESOTA. ‘HELD «= WIGH = PUBLIC OFFICES ~WAR GOVERNOR, UNITED STATES SENATOR AND SECRETARY . OF WAR. St. Paul, April 24—Alexander Ram- sey, Minnesota’s first territorial gov- ernor and the last of the war govern- ors, died at his residence, 265 South Excbange street, a few minutes after ‘6 o'clock last evening. His death, while not unforeseen, in view of his extreme age, eighty-eight years, and “his ill health since last February, was unexpected, and will come as a shock to the large number of friends in this - city as well as the people of all the state to whom he was known during a long and honorable public career. _ While he had been confined to the house for two months with an attack of gout, the immediate cause of his death was heart failure, due doubtless to old age. He passed away peace- fully and without pain, surrounded by his family, his mind retaining to the last its full vigor and clearness. Gov. Ramsey is survived by his daughter and her three children, one -of whom is named for him, A. R. Fur- ness. They all reside in St. Paul. Loses a Foremost Citizen. In the death of Alexander Ramsey Minnesota loses one of her foremost citizens, and one who in his own ca- reer personified the state’s story and, more indirectly, the story of the great Northwest. First governor of the ter- ritory in 1849, second governor of the state ten years later, and senator Tor “the twelve years between 1863 and 1875, his public service is so closely interwoven with Minnesota’s progress from a rangeless wilderness to its »present position among the states that the state over whose birth he pre- :siged, and to whose service the best yéars of his life were given, remains as the monument to his name. And while he served with conspicu- ous ability as secretary of war in Pres- -ident Hayes’ cabinet and as a member -of the “Edmunds commission” on the question of Mormonism in Utah, it is with the name of his state that he -will be known and remembered. It was no easy task to which he turned when he took up his duties as the first territorial governor, and one withal which required a tact, a firm- ness ‘and a steadfastness and honesty of purpose such as but few men could have brought to the work. But Gov. Ramsey, although a young man, more than fulfilled his mission. His early policy with the Indians was one of fair dealing, which afterward did much to lighten the dark days of the {ndian wars, while his firmness during the outbreak itself taught them that he was to be feared as well as trusted. Last of the War Governors. Gov. Ramsey was the last of the war governors, a group of men who, for loyalty, high resolve and tireless energy, has yet no equal in the United States. As war governor a fortunate chance gave him the distinction of offering the first quota of troops to President Lincoln for the defense of the Union, and it was also his efforts which enabled Minnesota, in spite of its sparse’settlements and’ feeble pop- ulation to furnish ten full regiments for the war and to keep its quota in full strength during those five years while carrying on a struggle against the Indians within its own borders, the magnitude of which is lost only in the greater struggle of the nation. In politics Gov. Ramsey has been a Republican sincs the foundation of the party, but while a man of strong conviction, he never was a partisan in the sense that he was blind to the good qualities of those who differed most strongly from him politicefly. Probably no man in the state had a firmer hold on the affections of all classes, and Gov. Ramsey’s death will be felt throughout the state as a per- sonal grief. Elected to Congress at Twenty-Eight. This distinguished citizen, perhaps the most eminent in the early history of Minnesota, was born near Harris- burg, Pa., Sept. 8, 1815. He was edu- cated in Lafayette college at Easton, Pa. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1839. He early evinced a taste for politics and became active in the campaigns in his district. In 1848, when but twenty-eight years of age, he was elected to congress. He was re-elected in 1844 and positively declined a renomination in 1846. On April 2, 1849, President Tyler appoint- ed him the first governor of the new- ly created Territory of Minnesota. He arrived in St. Paul, the capital of the territory, on May 27, 1849, and imme. diately assumed the duties of his of- fice. He served as governor of the territory until May 5, 1853: In 1855 he was elected mayor of St. Paul. On Jan. 2, 1860, he took the chair of gov- ernor of the State of Minnesota, being the second governor elected by tlie new state. He served in that capachy until July 10, 1863. “Our Quota Is Ready, Mr. President.” Alexander Ramsey will probably live longest in history as the last of the loyal war governors of the Scuth- ern rebellion. When,Fort Sumter was fired on he chanced to be in Washing- ton. That day he waited upon Presi- dent Lindoln and tendered him a thou- sand Minnesotans for the war — the first offer of the kind made—and when the formal call for volunteers came he answered it in person, “Our quota is ready, Mr. President.” When he left the governor's chair it was to take a seat in the United States senate. “He was re-elected for @ second term, rving in all twelve years in the senate. In 1879 he was appointed by President Hayes as sec retary of war and served in that ca- pacity until 1881. FINANCES OF the “U,” The Board of Control! Will Assume Full Management of Funds. The state university is now actually under the financial supervision of the state board of control. A definite un- derstanding has been reached between the board of control and the regents. J. T. Wyman, Thomas Wilson and A. E. Rice represented the regents, while James A. Martin, O. B. Gould and 8S. W. Leavett, members of the board of control, were at the meeting, which was held in Gov. Van Sant's apart- ments at the Aberdeen, St. Paul. It was mutually agreed that the failure of the legislature to make any change in the law left an imperative duty on the board of control, and that body will at once assume financial siper- vision ot the institution. This does not mean-any connection with the employment of professors and instructors or with the education- al policy of the institution. The board of control will be the final authority to approve all vouchers before presented to the state auditor. The two bcilies will consult with reference to the plans for new buildings. The wording of the law gives a great deal of latitudé, but the mutta! good feeling between the two bodies makes it sure that they will agree on a statisfactory basis. The authprity of the board of control is defined as follows: “The board of control shall have and exercise full authority in all financial matters of the state university, the state normal schools, the state public schools and the schools for the deaf and blind. It shall disburse all pr%lic moneys of the several institutions named and have supervision of the construction and bettermenis of all buildings erected at the cost of the state, but shall co-operate with tite lacal boards of the institutions in the preparation of plans .and_ specifica- tions.” COMPROMISE AT ITASCA PARK. State Permits Company to Maintain Two-Foot Head of Water. Attorney General Douglas has re- ceived a telegram from his assistant, C. W. Somerby, who was sent to ad- just the trouble over the Itasca Park dam, that the difficulty had been am- icably arranged. A compromise has been effected whereby the state will permit the boom company to maintain a two-foot head of water at the dam. The dam has been opened and the level of the lake lowered below the danger mark to the trees on the mar- gin of the lake, and this level will en- able the lumbermen to drive their logs out of the lake. The cases ‘against Cornell and Belmore, employes of the boom company who were arrested on a charge of interfering with tne sheri¥’ and Miss Mary Gibbs, the acting com- missioner of the park, have been with- drawn and the injunction sued out by the company against the state has been dissolved. Until some means is found of keep- ing up the stage of water in the lake the dam will not be destroyed, as the lake gets very low at times in sum- mer. The trouble started when filiss Gibbs ordered the boom company to open the dam, on the ground that the stage of water was so high that we water was damaging the treet. “he boom company refused, and it was then that the sheriff took a hand and the arrest and the injunction proceed- ings followed. LEEWAY ON STATE TAXES. Regular Levy Can’t Exceed 1 Mill, but There’s a Way Around. Tholigh the regular state revenue tax may not exceed 1 mill this year, there is an additional levy provided for which will probably make the to- tal levy for state purposes larger this year than last. According to the Lightly bill, as amended by the appropriations com- mittee, the state auditor is directed to make a levy in 1903 and 1904 that wim produce in the aggregate $250,000 to be spent on new buildings for the state agricultural school. State Auditor Iverson says he will not fix the 1903 levy until after the meeting of the state board of equaliza- tion, when it is known what the total valuation of the state amounts to. It is not likely that the board this year will raise values very much, in which case it will not be possible to reduce the maximum levy of 1 mill. This 1 mill tax is figured to bring $775,000 for the revenue fund, and if the new tax is levied in equal amounts for the two years to raise $125,000 each year, it will amount this year to This will make as follows, about .16 of a mill. the tax for all stated in mills: State revenue .... Funding tax fund Soldiers’ relief .. State school fund University Agricultural school ... purposes OER oasccisy so hitame e's otha obs 2.69 This is the same in all details as last year’s levy, except the additional item of the agricultural school. It cannot be reduced without a large in- crease in the valuation. THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.

Minneapolis, April 30.—The work of securing a jury for the trial of Former Mayor Ames is progressing with an ex- pedition which has surprised the at- torneys on both sides. The net result of the two days’ work is the selection of eight jurors. It is quite likely..that “the work will be completed to-day and the taking of evidence begun to-mor- row morning. The appearance of Dr. Ames causes much wonder. There is nothing sad or gloomy in his de- meanor. In fact, it is just the oppo- site. The change which has come over the man during the few weeks since he was brought back to the city over whose. destinies he had presided during four mayoralty terms is some- thing astonishing. He no longer re- quires the aid of his faithful wife when he walks. He stands erect, smiles an old-time smile of confidence and seems to have hardly the least concern about the outcome of the trial.
