Mrs. S. ". Root OF ST. Paul Is APP
pointed a Special Policeman
st. Paul, Aug. 12.-St. Paul is likely
to stand at the head of the list of up
ro-date cities. This city will have a
female policeman. This new addition
to the "blue coats. from the ranks Of
the gentler sex is Mrs. s. v. Root, the
well known superintendent of the Res
cue home. Mrs. Root says that in her
rescue work she often finds it difficult
to gain adInittance to places she con-
siders it her duty to enter, and she
concluded that if clothed with the
powers of a special police officer she
could command more recognition in
this respect. She accordingly applied
to Mayor Doran fer appointment as a
special police. The mayor was in
doubt about his authority to make
such an appointment, but on the advice
of the corporation attorneys Office he
decided to do so. Consequently Mrs.
Root will receive a commission.

n. d., requests that he call the atten-
ton OF the United States authorities to
the existing conditions which are de-
scribed as dangerous. The Indians
near st. John are reported as being
greatly excited, and it is stated that
unless the whites discontinue their
falfs on the Indian settlements, blood
shed will be sure to follow The re-
port from st. John is that nine build
ings, including the dwelling houses,
barns and outhouses, have been de-
stroyed by the whites, crops laid to
waste and other damage DONE The
chief and the council are powerless to
control and restrain the young men,
who are aroused to tn ehighest pitch

Ihe council and many Of the older
men remember the injunctions of the
court to refrain from violence, even
though an outrage was con mitted and
to seek redress in more peaceable
ways, but the young blood is turbu-
lent. The bad feeling between the
whites and the Indians appears to
have grown out of the attempt to col
lect taxes and the levying Of a road
tax. The communication is dictated by
Chief Little Shell and Councilman Sus-

came here together to-day. They re-
paired to a saloon where they spent
the time drinking beer and playing
cards. During the game they quar-
relied, and after leaving the card room
and entering the saloon proper, the
smaller man of the two struck his COM
panion severe blow in the face.
The latter did not retaliate, but i'm
mediately left the saloon, went to one
of the hardware stores, bought a re-
svolVers and returned to the saloon by
the rear door. The other in the mean
time sat down in one of the chairs
along the wall. His companion walked
into the center of the room and shot
six times at the man in the chair. -Four.
OF the bullets took effect, one entering
the heart, causing death almost in
.stantly. The murderer left the saloon,
walked a block, sat down and awaited
an officer, who arrested him and took
him to the Jail. He gave up his re-
Volyer and volunteered to accompany
the officer.
He gave his name as Charles Clark,
said his home was at Havana, Ill, and
that he was a single man and had no
friends in this region. When SPOKEN to
concerning the murder he said the fell
low abused him and he didn't propose
to stand it, He said that he hoped
his victim was dead. He was consid-
erably under the influence Of liquor,
which, no doubt, was largely responsi-
BILE for his crime. Clark is thirty-fiye
OF forty years of age, and previously
in the day claimed to be a very bad
man, who would as soon shoot a man
as eat. He does not appear to be a
tramp, and has moIey. The murdered
man was about twenty-five or thirty
years of age. He carried nothing by
which he could be identified, and his
companion does not know who he was
nor where he came from.

COMPRESSED AIR TO THE FRONT.
AS q Power Its Advantages Are
Very Rapidly Being Recognized

Very Rapidly Being. Recognized.
Compressed air as a power is coming
to the front so rapidly that electricians
regard it as a dangerous rival. The
men who make the machinery for com
pressing, storing, transmitting and sup
plying air have made wonderful i'm
provements within the last few years,
and to-day they succeed in retaining
fully 80 per cent Of the initial energy.
Ten. years ago a compressed air drill
that was able to utilize SO per cent Of
the power which compressed the air
was regarded as a flrst-class tool but
drills are working to-day which, de
yelop 80 per cent of the: prime
power.
Two years ago, in this column the
value and advantage of compressed
air as a power We're given at length.
Since then the clean, safe, flexible,
elastic and responsive power has de-
ve1oped so largely that it has become
popular, and runs street cars and loco
motives, raises sunken vessels, and
does many other useful things. It
paints buildings and steers ships. It
shears sheep and dusts carpets. 1t
mines coal, iron and precious metals,
and lifts water out of wells. 1t carYes
stone and cleans castings. It mixes
chemicals and explosives and runs
clocks. It has thrown out belts and
shaftings in many machine shops, and
it operates sewing machines in private
houses. 1t carries mail and operates
block signals. It acts as refrigerator
and propels fish torpedoes, and it does
a Thousand and one other things as
well.
Just at present compressed air mo-
tors for street. cars are exciting CON
siderable attention, and it is predicted
by mechanical engineers that within
few years compressed air will displace
trolley cars on many street car roads.
The compressed air men are so CON
fdent that their fayorite power will
take the place Of electricity in many
things that they are talking Of using
the current from the Niagara Falls
electric plant to operate compressors
at distant points and using the com
pressed air for work at the place Of
consumption, claiming that by this
double arrangement more power can
be developed.
