verified tonight when Ned Reading, the

the exposition building His steady, plucky
work has been regarded with much favor all
along, and many have said he would be up in
front at the finish. Early in the evening
Reading, who was lap behind Wilbur F..
Knapp, of Denver, made magnificent squirt,
and, passing Knapp, soon left the latter a lap
behind. The positions thus gained were
maintained TO the end. When Reading dashed
past Knapp he was greeted with thunders Of
applause. The finish, while very good, could
hardly be called exciting the men being
nearly exhausted by their hard work,
as most Of the time the weather has been
oppressively warm. Therefore, while the
riding was hard. there was not much squirt
ing toward the close, Readings effort being
practically the last Knapp claims that he
was beaten by being kept in pocket by the

A Night Mirage in Dakota.


On Saturday, between and IL, the sing
ular spectacle was witnessed Of a mirage at
night. The day had been very warm, the
thermometer reached 60 degrees in the
shade, and the condition of the atmosphere
was certainly unusual The sky was more
or less clOuded, particularly on the horizon.
Patches of prairie fire were, visible at all
points of the compass. To the north, south
and west, there was nothing in their
appearance to attract attention, but two
masses of fire to the northeast of Caring
ton were unlike these in any direction.
These fires were with wonderful distinct
ness heightened right into the very clouds
just as in the brilliance of the sunlight the
obscure stack is made to assume the dimen-
sions of q lofty tower. Then again the con-
Meeting links between the real fire and it's
double disappeared and there was per-
feet reflection of the fire in the clouds, indi-
vidual tongues of flames being pictured in
the superheated strata like the familiar
fata m0rgana. At another time the reflected
fire seemed to WAIVER in the air like the
restless simmer of the most brilliant
aurora. The spectacle lasted until the fires
died out and altogether it was most sing
ular and beautiful.

To Crab the Police Eorce.

If the gossip among Democrats can be re-
lied upon, the coming Legislature is going
to be actuated more by a desire to widen
the spoils field than to enact good and
wholesome laws. In order to accommodate
the hungry and thirsty politicians, much
that was done four years ago is to be un-
done. The tearing down process, tits under
stood, is to begin with the Metropolitan
police law, measure for which Democrats
are alone responsible. A prominent Demo-
Democrats will have charge of
the Metropolitan police forces in
indianapolis and Evansville within one
month. You have noticed the continued
attack on the present force bysDemOcrats.
Superintendent Travis and the Commits
sioners are being assaulted simply in order
that the Legislature may have pretext for
changing the law"
.sThe law will not be repealed then
bodilyf"
mo, it will simply be changed. A bill
has already been prepared, and the under
standing is that it shall be one of the first
missioners shall be elected by the Legis-
lature, instead of by the State officers as
now. Their terms of office are to
be two, years. and the bill will
require that the members constituting the
metropolitan police force"
Will any other changes be nader
The bill as ii now reads will give Fort
Wayne, Richmond and several other cities
of that size metropolitan police force. In
other words. it reduces the limit of popula-
flon required before city is regulated by
the metropolitan law.
Who is the originator of the bill.r
That cannot make public. 1t was pre-
pared at the, request of Indianapolis DEM
ocrats, who desire to see every
thing possible taken out of the
hands of the Republicans. and
Tlon county member, perhaps Representa-
tive Bigham. Ex-superintendent-of police
Mike ODonnel and Captain Colbert are
both logging for the bill. Both are aspiring
tosucceed Travis as superintendent. ODon-
nell seems TO be the favorite with the ma
iority of those urging the change in the
law, and If il passes il is not unlikely that
he will become superintendent"
rs it likely that any other municipal af-
fairs will be taken IN hand by the Legisla-
turep
THE feasibility of making the fire de-
partment metropolitan Is being discussed,
and it is not unlikely bill looking to that
end will be introduced, The Democrats
feel confident that they have the Legis-
latures pretty sure for all time TO come, and
they do not believe the party can suffer by
extending the patronage OF that body. How
Tar they will go IN assuming the manage
ment of municipal affairs remains To be
seen. but there isn't any doubt but what
the selection of the police commissioners
viii be put into the hands of the Legls-
lature.n
After hearing the plan of the Democrats
Journal reporter asked an attorney who
ought TO know if such proceeding would
be legal. He said he did not believe it
would be. Il do not think the legislators
can assume the government of the cities of
the State" said he. 'Such law might be
constitutional, but my opinion is that it
would not be-
