STILL ANOTHER.
Chief Runge Would Part With
His Stenographer.

q
Arthur Carleton, who for some time
past has been Chief Runge's sten-
ographer has been asked to tender his
resignation, IN letter written by the
chief. Mr.. Carleton says that he has
received such letter. and Furthermore
that he presumed he should comply
with the request, though he should first
consult with Aid. Lackey and others of
the fire committee of the council. His
reason for so doing. he said, was that
the chiefs request is in violation of the
rules of the department, which provide
for charges on which employees of the
department must be tried before they
can be discharged. He said that he
thought, Notwithstanding the rules,
the chief should be allowed to
say who should be his clerk, but
that his letting out was so clearly on
account of his connection with the trial
OF the chief that the committee might
desire him to contest the matter. He
said that he was advised by legal cOun-
sci that he could stay or collect his pay
until he was discharged in the proper
way.
James Brady, whose resignation Chief
Runge was directed by the fire depart
ment committee to demand, was dis
charged from the department yesterday
morning. Brady was seen, and had not
a great deal to say. except that his dis
charge was an unjust act. Brady was
not particularly disconsolate for the
loss OF his position, saying that he
hope to get another.

done much damage. Much injury also
has been done this crop by the chinch
bug and rust in several of the states.
The condition of spring rye in August
is 7o.5. as against SO in the month of
July. The condition of oats has fallen
ten points since the July report, being
1873, AS compared with SIS last month,
while in August, 1892. it stood at S6.2.
1t is the lowest condition reported in
August for many years, and is due to a
cold,. wet spring. succeeded by coutinu-
Gus dry. hot weather during the latter
part of June and the whole of July.
The August returns for barley show
slight decline in condition from that of
last month. being SAG against e5.S in
July. and precisely the same as it was
in the month Of June.
The August area of buckwheat is re-
ported ut 96.3. as compared with 1892,
and condition at SS.S.
The condition of potatoes has de-
clined nearly 8 points the last month,
and now stands at Sc. Condition in Au-
gust has only been lower twice in the
last decade. The general drought has
been the cause of this falling off, and
rain is needed badly to prevent further
disastrous loss. The condition of tine
timothy crop is 1915, as compared with
JO.A Ill 1917.
The hay crop on the whole is large,
and has generally been secured in good
condition, although in some important
regions unfavorable conditions caused
reduction of the crop. The general av-
erage of tobacco fell from 80 July to
S2.2 OH the 1st inst. A still further de-
cline In the condition of apples is made
evident by the returns of August.
The indications that the CONNER
cial crop would be very light is
confirmed at this date. In many of
the states complete failure is reported.
The drought has done damage to peaches
in the Atlantic peach belt. Complaints
are frequent of premature ripening, con-
ditiOns still pointing to large crop in
this section, however, and local showers
have benefited some localities. A fur
Their decline is noted in Michigan, where
fruit has dropped severely. California
has good crop of excellent quality.
An abundant crop of grapes is promised
at this date.
The percentages of July have been
generally we'll maintained. Dry weather
has tended to check the spread of rot
and mildew.

Alexander Rottier.
An inquest was held Yesterday over
the body of Alexander Rottier, who was
burned to death at the North Minneapo-
lis fire, by Coroner Spring, assisted by
County Attorney Peterson. Several
witnesses were examined. Officer Nc
Bride, the first man on the scene, testi-
fed that he was near by, but heard no
explosion. He heard glass break, and
ran TO the rear window and tore off
screen door. He saw no one up to that
time, and ran to the outside stairway to
warn the people up stairs. The door
and window in front were broken when
lie got there. The flames were furious
about the bed. He could not see them
over the low partitions. Witness said
that the explosion occurred after the
fire was nearly out. The windows, he
thought, were broken by the heat. He

After he came down he met the
woman, outside of the fence in front,
with the child. He asked for her hus-
band, and she said she thought he went
out the front door. He had told her to
jump and run. She had her night dress
and stockings on. Witness was i'm the
building before the body was moved.
The body laid with the head towards
Twentieth avenue, the body on the back
and arm across the breast, the head

a. j. Seymour Will Allow Him
self to Be Planted for a Season.
A Philadelphia paper states that the
mind reader, A. j. Seymour, who for
merly ran a saloon near the St. James
motel in Minneapolis. Will soon attempt
the feat of being buried in a grave a
sufficient length of time to allow crop
OF barley to be grown over him.
When the barley has fully ma
tured, Seymour will be exhumed and
it is said will be fully resuscitated. The
feat, it is said, has been successfully
accomplished several times in India.
Seymour will be first fed on a diet OF
fat foods. He Will then throw himself
into a cataleptic state, and his lungs
will be Inflated with fresh air. His
eyes, nose, ears and mouth will be
stopped up with wax, and his body will
then be washed in paraffine to exclude
all gases and the air.

CROP KFPORT,
Statement Of the Condition of
the Growing GRAIN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The August
report of the StatlStician of the depart
ment of agriculture shows that the con-
dltion of corn has declined a little over
six points during the last month, tue av-
erage for the entire breadth being 81
as against 1872 for the month of july.
This decline is due in the main to the
drought, which has proved both extern
sive and persistent. While in some parts
of the country the continued dry
weather has injured the crop beyond
recovery, it is nevertheless true as TO
the larger portion of the area de-
voted thereto, that improvement is not
only possible, but with sufficient rain.

be assured. The averages in the prin-
cipal states are Ohio. IS; Indiana, IS:
Illinois, 81; Iowa, 1O2; Missouri. 95:

been considerable falling off in the
condition of spring wheat since last

ten points, the average condition

against IA for the month of
July. The conditions by states Is as
follows: Wisconsin 20. Minnesota 81.
Iowa 81, Nebraska rs, South Dakota 63.

points is the result of the too high tenn

1t Had Been Increased Before He
Died.

Judge John P. Rea was seen yester-
day afternoon regarding the disputed
points in connection with the pension of
the late Hiram Weeks, and he said that
in the first place 1t was mistake of the
examining committee in st. Paul to
have recommended that the pension be
cut off, but that it had been corrected
by the examiner in the pension bureau
in Washington as soon as the facts
were made known. The pension was
restored about three weeks ago, and
the increase was granted the 1st of
August. The original pension was
IS and the increase amounted
to Sc, making total of S12.
This was all the law allows under the
act of 1890. although Judge Rea thought
that the case was one that should have
come under the general law. Before
his death. said Judge Rea. Mr.. Weeks
and myself talked the matter over, and
he was greatly rejOiced at the increase.
The reporter was shown a letter from
Judge LOchren to the effect that prompt
action had been taken by the depart
ment at Washington to set the matter
right as soon as it was discovered that
mistake had been made.

The Canine Catch.

The dog catching business this year
is for the first time being satisfactorily
conducted, which fact is shown by the
increased revenues, and by the decreased
absence of complaints by dog owners.
Thus far $500 dogs have been captured,
of which 1000 have been drowned, the
remainder either having been redeemed
or sold, some valuable dogs bringing as
high as $40. The gross receipts for the
season will exceed $1,000.

after the ''gams." At least it has that
appearance, although the chief last
evening declined to commit himself, and
would not say whether or not any gen.

plated. Late yesterday afternoon Officer
Malone appeared against Charles Hamil-
ton, cOlOred gambler who operates at
the notorious 'Shades," 223 Third street

one to create tho state board Of education;
another to locate the state normal school At

all the business 1t could get at. The spe-
