Now it is believed that caucus
nomination in Londonderry is "dam-
ming with faint praise"
Several packages of rum, it is alleg-
ed, was brought into town few days
before the election. It's matter for con-
graduation that it did not win.
A voter, Tuesday, paid representa-
tive-elect Landman a compliment by
saying, after the result of the ballot
was declared, "Well, we'll have to 60
home dry"
Some of the friends of the caucus
candidate expected an all-night seige
and came prepared for Infringing
hay and grain with them. This was
providing for the beast, probably the
candidate was expected to provide for
the person.

and had his shoes forcibly taken away from
him, his parents have been given a queer
idea of st. Paul. and the police are dill
gently working on the case. 1t all happened
in broad daylight yesterday and the fact
that the highwaymen were two youths about
fifteen years CT age win probably not alter the
view now held by Mr.. and Mrs Britton as
to the efficiency Of the local police depart
ment.
1t happened like this: Mr. Britton. who is
connected with a big wholesale shoe house In
the city where tornadoes ccme from, brought
his wife and son, Frank, to St Paul a day
or two ago and they were domiciled at the
Metropolitan. After lunch yesterday the male
portion of the family started out in the di-
rcction of ST. Anthony Ill., On their way
to the foot OF Third street hill Frank re-
marked to his father that the policemen
they passed seemed bigger and wore nicer
uniforms than they do in st. Louis. Mr.
Britton assented. and having some business to
attend to he cent his son back to the hotel

and each Of the veterans remembered
the other at the first glance.
During the bloody Indian campaign
Russell was a scout in the band Of

Reid was attached to the Third United

advanced in years, halls from Cedar

during the war to men in service, given
to Russell by Gen. Meade in front Of
petersburg. near the Spottsylvania
court house, for several acts of unusual
bravery Gen. Meade was then in COM

PAUL DU CHAILLU IN POLITICS.
Noted Explorer to Make SOUND Money
Speeches i'm Minnesota.

Gov. Clough had two distinguished callers
yesterday-Paul du Chaillu, the noted African
explorer and litterateur and John Anderson
editor of the Skandinaven, Chcago's great
Scandinavian daily. Yesterday afternoon the
twain boarded a train for Alexandria Minn.
to visit Senator Knute Nelson who is a
warm friend of Mr. Anderson It is rumored
that Du Chaiilu will be presented to the
senator as a likely man to make sound
money speeches in this section Of the country
during the campaign. His attitude the
money question is in line with that of the
Minnesota senator's and as Du ChailIu is
popular with the Scandinavians- having laid
the scene Of one of his greatest books in
the land of the midnight sun-it Is believed
by his friends that the gospel of good money
as preached by Mfr. atDu Chaillu will have
marked weight with the Seandinavians Of
A quarter of century ago Paul Du Chaillu
was better known as an explorer and more
shown great versatility and if he chooses
to try his talents at politics. no one who
knows the man will predict aught but sue
cess in his chosen work
Paul Du Chaillu was born in Paris France
July 81, 1885. He early went to live in the
French settlement at the mouth of the Ga
boon, on the west coast of Africa, where his
father held consular appointment.
He was educated in one of the Jesuit In
stitutions of that country. and acquired
knowledge of the native language as also
their habits and mode of life
In 1852 he came to the United States with
a cargo of ebony, and after published
in the New York Tribune series of articles
on the baboon country, which elected much
attention.
After becoming citizen of the United
States he sailed in October, 1856, from New
York for Africa, with the intention of MAX
ing thorough exploration of the region of
the west coast. lying. 2 degrees north and 2
degrees south latitude. He spent four years
in this task and Travelled in all about 5000
miles. He killed and stuffed over 1000 birds
of which 60 were previously unknown, and
killed over 1000 quadrupeds, among which
were several never before seen by a white
man.
The history of this expedition was pub
lshed under the title Explorations and Ad-
ventures in Equatorial Africa This volume
is valuable contribution to the geography
ethnolgy and zoology of Western Africa The
accuracy of Du Chaillus statements was at
tackled and he made a second expedition for
the purpose of vindicating them. He pub
lished an account of this expedition under
the title ga Journey to Ashango Land
After spending some years in the United
States he visited Sweden, Norway Lapland
and Finland. returning to New York in 1873
Du Chaillu has published the following:

OTHERWISE THE APPOINTMENTS
OF MICHAEL j. SCHORN AND
SOREN SORENSON
WOULDN'T HAVE SLIPPED IN.
ASSEMBLYMAN REARDON EXER-
CIsED OVER SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENED IN HIS ABSENCE.
BUT IT'S DONE AND THAT ENDS 1T.
Doubtful if the Assembly Can Re-
consider It's Action After 1t
Has Been Taken.

Had ASsemblyman Reardon been in
the council chamber last Thursday
night instead of in ST. Louis, Mo-,
whittier he went as a delegate to the
National Total Abstinence convention,
something would not have happened
that did happen at the last meeting Of
the assembly. Two of the mayors po-
lice appointments were confirmed,
which Mr.. Reardon, on his .'eturn home,
has ascertained were not passed upon
by the committee on police. The APP
pointees so confirmed are Michael J.
Schorn and Soren Sorensen. Schorn
served on the force under Mayor
Wright and in June, 1892. he gave his
age as thirty-two. In July, 1896, he
informed Mayor Doran that he was
thirty-four years of age The mayor
appointed him driver of the Black Ma
ria. Prior to his appointment Schorn
was running an elevator in the court
house building. when not out cam
paigning for Mayor Doran.
1t appears that the assembly con-
firmed the appointments of Schorn and
Sorensen under the belief that the COM
mittee on police, to whom the appoint
ments had been referred at the pre-
v1ous meeting, had duly investigated
both cases This was in accordance
with the action agreed upon at the
Famous caucus when it was understood
that thereafter no appointee over thir-
ty-f1ve years of age should be con-
hrmed, and that all appointments
should first be referred to the commit
tee on police for investigation as to the
legal eligibility of the appointee to
serve on the police force
Assemblyman Mabon is chairman of
the assembly committee on police. 1t
was Mr.. Mabon who sought to have
the assembly confirm half a dozen
fresh appointments that had not been
passed upon by the committee He
moved a reconsideration of the vote
by which these latter appointments had
been referred to the committee, and
they were reconsidered, but his mo-
vote of six to two.
In consequence of the confirmation Of
Schorn and Sorensen, Mr.. Reardon Is
on the war path and Mr.. Thompson is
considerably exercised. Both are mem
bers of the committee on police and
neither remembers attending any
meeting of the committee at which the
committee considered the name of
Schorn or Sorensen. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Reardon had other objections
than that of ago. to urge against the
appointment of Schorn. But now that
the assembly has confirmed his ap-
pointment, it is question whether it
can reconsider such action at subse-
quent meeting.

An interesting feature of the weather for
the past few days has been the series of
snort and very sharp rain storms Although
tney nave, as rule, lasted but few mo-
the atmosphere for periods varying from q
half hour to an hour. The storms have
been local in their character and frequently
but few miles in width. There have heen
swept over St. Paul and Minneapolis The
rainfall in this city, according to Observer
Lyons, mas been 80 inches during the last

LIZ inches, while in Minneapolis it was but

was very little rain at ALL The Midway dis

as that Of Sunday. 1t also came from another
direction.
There is something odd about the infre-
quency of fatal sunstrokes in the Twin Cities
where the temperature has been higher than
that of some other city. It is a simple mat
ter for the ordinary person to avoid sun
stroke. The laborers who are compelled to
toll in the hot sun are of course the most
frequent victims, but even they could save
themselves with a little precaution. A wet
handkerchief placed in the hat, and over
the rear of the brain, assists materially in
lessening the power OF the sun. Ice water
during overheated condition is an invita-
ton to sunstroke. This is one of the most
frequent causes of prostration and death.
The dispatches told yesterday of a Chicago
man who drank two glasses of ice water
while excessively warm and died within ten
minutes. AS a rule men are too proud to
carry umbrellas on hot day, but less pride
and more prudence would be effective in
enhancing comfort and safety

watched his natty little dongola kid shoes
slipping into the possession of two horrid
boys whom he knew would not appreciate
them, and they would not fit them anyway,
for he was only eleven and well bred, while
they were four years older and probably un-
couth.
He trotted blithely in his stocking feet to
the hotel, whether his mother hurt his feel
ings by suggesting that he should not have
so easily consented to give up the shoes.
The authorities were at once notified of the
bold assault, and Officer Tally was instantly
at the hotel in search Of clue With com
mendable acumen he instantly realized that
here was case calling not only for quick
action but more than ordinary astuteness.
He reported back to the central station. and
Detective James Werrick was called In and
given the matter to unravel. He collected all
possible statistics about the assailants and
started off. Mr.. and Mrs. Britton, with their
son. are going back to st. Louis on the boat
which leaves tomorrow and they hope that
in the meantime the miscreants will be cap
tured and appropriately punished.
