New ORLEANS, Feb. 4--John A. Morris,
the principal owner and director Of tho
Louisiana State Lottery company, has given
notice thgt lie intends to withdraw his prop
osition for the recharter Of his company and
win wind up It's business, retiring from the
field when its charter expires in 1894. This
action IS the result Of the decision Of tho
United States supreme court declaring in
favor Of the consttutionality Of anti-lottery
postal laws, which shuts the company out Of
the mail, prohibits it from sending any cir
culars or tickets through the mails, and pro-
hibits and punishes, under heavy penalty,
the sending Of any newspapers containing
notices or advertisements Of lotteries.
Mr. Morris says that he Is a lawabiding
citizen and intends TO obey the law, and
since the supreme court declaEes that tho
anVi-pustnl act is constitutional IL precludes
him from carrying on business This so
cripples and injuries business that it is inn

Farmers by Target Practice.
The farmers of Richfield and Bloom
ington townships are in great state of
mind over the erratic shooting of some
of the markSmen among the troops at
Fort Smelling. Only last week a passer-
by near the rifle butts was plugged by
one of the badly aimed bullets, and
when target practice is going on it is
dangerous TO be safe' anywhere With
in hundred yards or so radius of the
targets. Accordingly good sized petit
ton signed by the majority
Of the grangers of the afore-
said villages was presented to the
board of county commissioners at their
meeting yesterday. The petition sets
forth that the fagman who is stationed
on the road to warn people when shoot
ing is going on will not let teams pass,
consequently business is hindered con-
siderably thereby. 1t was also claimed
the soldiers have no right to occupy
public thoroughfare. After some slight
debate Sheriff SwensOn was detailed to
paw visit to the cOmmandant of the
fort to see what could be done in the
matter and, if necessary, to stop any
further target practice whatever. The
portly sheriff Immediately started to
fulfil his commission, but up to late
hour last evening had not been heard
from.
The sheriff was directed to notify all
people selling whisky, inside the county
and outside the city, who had not paid
their licenses that unless the amount
due be forthcoming by Aug. 10 they will
be prosecuted.
William Harmed and nineteen other
freeholders of school districts 63 and AZ,

The Western Electric Company
Submits an Unread Proposition
to Council.
The Western Electric company,
through B. L. Ames, submitted to the
city council on last Saturday evening
an interesting proposition. The COM
munication was not read to the council,
nor was it considered by the committee
on gas. Aid. Parry is quoted as saying
the contents of the document are s'too
Indefinite for consideration. Mr.. Ames.
on behalf of the Western Electric com
pany, advises the council that that COM
pany has not time to construct plant

expiration of tlrc present lighting con-
tract.
1t is proposed, however, beginning
with August, 1898, to furnish the city
for five years with 1000 lights of 1000
candle power each at an annual cost of
$1S5 per light. At the expiration of five
years the company will turn over to the
city the entire plant for 81. The city
now pays $50 per year for each of its
street lights. The additional cost of $35
per year, according to the plan sub
mitted by Mr.. Ames. will, at the end of
five years, amount to S175,OOO, which
sum is applied in full payment for the
plant. The scheme will enable the city

MRS. AMES DEAD.
Yesterday Morning She Passed
Away at Her Daughters Home.


Mrs. A. A. Ames, the wife of ex-
Mayor Ames. Of this city, died yester-
day morning at IL O'Clock at the res
idence of her daughter, Mrs. w. E.
Rockford. To the intimate friends of
Mrs. Ames it is not believed the news
of her death was entirely unexpected.
She has been ill for some time, and dur
ing the past month has been subjected
to a succession of unpleasant eX-
perienceS which did not fayorabiy
conduce to her restoration 10 health.
Mrs. AmeS was born in Minneapolis the
half of a century ago. Her life IT writ
ten would be especially Interesting from
an historical point Of view, for Mrs.
AmeS was personally familiar with the
social development of the city. She
had been identified with the early
foundation of Minneapolis, and had, in
her sphere, participated largely in its
development. At certain periods of her
of her life she had enjoyed an enviable
and distinctive position, and by reason
of its prominence became quite well
known in social circles throughout the
state.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Ames was Miss
Sarah Stout. Her father, Capt. Stout,
was an officer in the United States regu-
lar army. lie was instrumental III OF
ganizing the First Minnesota regiment,
of which DIR. Ames became member.
Later on, when DR.. Ames had married
Miss Stout and became a politician pos
sessed of the brightest and most tiatter
ing prospects, he found an encouraging
and helpful wife in Mrs. Ames. She
has been, it is believed, surrounded by
strong friendships all of her life.
She never shOne in society. and
it is thought, preferred the more
quiet and restricted emplOymeuts
and experiences of the family circle, her
intimates and religious connections.
For many years Mrs. Ames was mem
Der of Gethsemane church. She was
charitable weman, but not an OStenta-
tious one. Her good work was confined
to practically relieving and dissipating
the wants of the very poor.
Mrs. AmeS leaves three children, Mrs.
Rockford and John, lad or thirteen,
both of which were with her at the time
of her death. The other and older son,
Charles, is in Seattle. Capt. Strout is
at present eS ding in Emporia, Kan.
He is expected % reach Minneapolis to-
morrow. The news of Mrs. AmeS' death
was last evening the subject of much
regretful comment on the part of many
persons, including not few whose ac-
Quaintance with her was limited to
knowledge of her affairs gathered from
the local newspapers.

1t is cold day in midsummer when
Park Commissioner Ryan cannot stir UP

Yesterday was not cold day.
The business of the meeting seemed
to have been finished. The commits

President Boardman had left the chair

mated that the permit had been granted
by few members of the board without

tanned an interview with Park Commits

body of the article. Demeules demanded
to know if the committee Oh privileges
referred to meant the committee on
shore right and privileges.
"AS this attack seems 10 come from
Commissioner Ryan, perhaps he will
explain it," said Boardman.
II will do that, Sir" said Ryan. 1.-THE
loop is there and l want to know who
gave the street railway company the
right the put it there. L don't like to
see these things done this way. The
loop is there and the trees of the park
were pulled up when it was put there"

Mr.. Stoft explained further why the
loop was needed down. 1t was more Of
