from the Orthwein elevator with lot OF
empty cars, The night yard crew had
switch engine No. 81 and reached the

JUDGE KELLY SCRATCHES OUT
FART OF THE MANDAMUS
SIGNED THURSDAY.
MARKET MASTERS POSITION.
AFTER HE SIGNS THE ORDER THE
COURT MAKES DIS
COVERY.
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION CLAUSE
To Prevent Duffy From Taking the
PIace-This Quickly Was
Nn0cked Out.

When Judge Kelly signed on Thurs
day afternoon that alternative writ Of
mandamus, prayed for by eX-Market
Master Webster, on the strength Of
his status as an honorabiy discharged
Union soldier, his honor supposed that
that was all he signed. But it wasn't.
Upon reading the entire document, it
was found to embody an order tenn
pCrarily enjoining John r. Duffy, the
newly elected market master, from talk
ing possession of the Office of market
master, pending the determination of
eX-Market Master Webster's applica-
tion to be reelected to the Office by
the common council.
When Judge Kelly's attention was
called yesterday to the temporary in
junction, signed by him. he was con-
siderabfy surprised and equally an
noyed. In explaining how it occurred,
Judge Kelly said that he signed the
paper, which was presented to him by
Attorney G. A. Severance, who said it
was an alternative writ of mandamus
directed to the common council. The
judge signed the document upon that
representation without reading it all.
Mr.. Severance was quickly notified
that Judge Kelly desired to see him.
Upon his arrival, Judge Kelly promptly
struck out the injunction order, leaving
simply the alternative writ of man
damus, which is returnable June r.
AS matter of fact, the injunction
order was not observed by Market
Master Duffy, who took possession of
the office Of the market master yester-
day morning and discharged his duties
all day.

BATTERY A's NEW CAPTAIN.
Lieut.. Rooch Gets the Long DELAYED
Promotion

The long-deferred election of a captain of
Battery A to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Capt. Appleby last winter, took
place at the armory last night. 1t resulted
in the election of Oscar l.. Rooch, the first
lieutenant of the battery.
There were only two candidates for the
honor-First Lieut.. Rooch and Second Lieut.
Henry L. Larson. There were 6S members
Of Battery present, and two-thirds vote
was necessary for a choice. On the first bal
lot there were 6S votes cast, which were at
once thrown out without reading the ballots
On the second ballot First Lieut.. Rooch re-
ceived AZ votes, Second Lieut. Larson 90 and
one ballot was irregular in form, Lieut.. Rooch
was thereupan declared elected.
AS soon as Lieut.. Rooch passes his examina-
tion and receives his commission as captain
which formalities will be complied with in the
course Of a week, there will be vacancy in
the office of first lieutenant. Maj. Libbey will
thereupon order an election to fill the vacancy
and probably such other vacancy as may re-
suit from that election. 1t Is generally under
stood that Second Lieut.. Larson will be
elected first lieutenant.
Orders for going into camp were read last
night. Under these orders the First battalion
comprising Batteries A and B-the latter of
Minneapolis-will go into camp at Lake City
on Sunday, July 4.

1T is THEIR DAY OF REST.
Sabbath at the Adventist Camp Be-
gan at Sunset.

Yesterday at the Adventist camp
meeting practically opened with the
ScandinaVianS' service, which was con-
Quoted by Elder J. N. Loughborough.
There was also youths meeting at
this hour, Elder Nettleton addressing
the young people on ''The Importance
Of Working for the Lord At the
same hour the children, under the
supervision of Miss Fannie Burgess,
retired to their tent for their usual
morning exercise. At 8 o'clock the
Minnesota conference convened, with
President G. N Flaiz in the chair.
They passed resolutions, rendering
thanks to the Minnesota Transfer COM
pany for their kindness in allowing
them the use of the grounds; to the
various railroad companies for grant
ing reduced rates to those attending
the encampment, and to the daily pa
pers Of the Twin Cities for their kind
ness in publishing reports of the camp
meeting and conference.
At IL o'clock Father Loughborough
continued his series of lectures, which
he has been delivering at the large
pavilion each forenoon, for several
days in the past. These talks have
been listened to with deep interest by
all, the object of them being to show
the direct providence Of God in CON
nection with this movement He called
attention to the fulfillment of the
sure word Of prophecy to prove that
the hand of God was in the work.
At o'clock the congregation again
gathered in the pavilion and listened
to Elder Allen Moon, of Washington.
d. c., president of the International
Religious Liberty association, who
talked to them on the subject of
Foreign Missions" The speaker said
there was time when the Seventh
day Adventists had no missionaries
outside Of the United States, but now
they have them in all parts Of the
world. indla, China, Japan, Australia,
Africa, islands Of the Pacific, as well
as Of the Atlantic and others, are now
visited by missionaries sent out bv
this little sect.
These people believe that time.
means and talent should be expended
in behalf of these dark regions be-
cause "the gospel of the kingdom is
to be preached in all the world. for a a
witness unto all nations; and then shall
the end come"
At 5 o'clock Elder Jones addressed
the congregation ON the subject of
Education" Elder Jones takes the
position that all unnecessary studies
should be Weeded out from course
of study and only the important. es-
sential ones retained, and that when
these are mastered, the mind will
strengthen and expand as did the mind
of Christ and John the Baptist. He
says further that the Bible contains a
complete system of theology and phil
osophy, and that this should be the
first in every line of study. Oh, let
us make the word Of God our daily
food!
AS the sun sank in the west a.
noticeable hush came over the camp
All secular labor was laid aside and
time given to devotional exercises, this
being the Sabbath observed by this
peculiar people.
Elder A. T. Jones spoke again in the
evening.

Retailers Association Also Believes
Peddlers' License Low Enough.
The meeting Of the retailers associa-
ton, held at the rooms of the Com
mercial club yesterday morning, was
taken UP mainly in discussing the
question of reduced express rates. The
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, There is a movement on foot to
reduce the present peddlers license, which
to us does not appear at all exorbitant con-
sldering the fact that the peddler Is virtually
exempt from taxation on his stock, and evades
the payment of store rent and other running
expenses to which the resident merchant is
subjected; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the St. Paul Retailers
union do protest against any reduction in
peddlers' licenses in justice to the resident
merchants; further
Resolved, That a copy Of this resolution be
forwarded to the mayor and city council and
published in the daily papers of the city.
A letter was read from the president of the
ST. Paul Union Label league requesting the
secretary to furnish him with the names Of
those merchants who handled union-made
goods, and the lines they carry. The secretary
will comply with the request so far as lies
in his power
The conduct of the organization will be
placed in the hands of the executive commit
tee from this time on, every trade represented
in the union is to have representation on the
committee. This will obvate the necessity
OF calling the fortnightly meetings, which have
not been success from a numerical stand
point, for while the merchants are anxious 10
see the union a success and will willingly con-
tribute to It's support, they claim to lack the
time to devote to the meetings.

ARE YOU In ITe
Last Chance to Get Recorded i'm the
City Directory

The annual canvass for the new city
directory which was begun May l, is
completed, and the work of sorting the
names in alphabetical order and com
piling the data is now in progress. and
the manuscript copy will be in the
hands of the printers next Monday
morning.
1t is the general impression that the
chief labor in making directory con-
sists in securing the names, but as a
matter of fact the work has only
fairly begun when the names obtained
in the first canvass are placed in the
eompilers' hands; then each name must
be arranged in it's proper place. The
facts necessary for publication must
be verified by the duplication Of the
names, one of which has been taken at
the business place, the other at the
dwelling. Where the facts do not agree.
OF where the information has not been
taken in duplicate, special messengers
are dispatched to ascertain the cause.
to correct conflicting reports and to
supply deficiencies in the data.
A single enumeration of the names
by the most competent and careful
men cannot be complete; there are al
ways some names found at business
houses that are not given at dwellings
and some at dwellings, that are not
given at business houses
The new matter must also be COM
pared with the old directory, and all
persons who have removed from the
city or who have died within the wear
must be accounted for.
A force Of sixty men has been en-
ployed on the work this year: each
has been assigned to regular district,
for which he is provided with map.
and, although he has now visited every
house and believes he has enumerated
every name. yet he will continue to
make daily trips over this district
while the matter is being compiled and
printed, to obtain all changes Of per-
sons who may move in or out Of his
district, but all persons who contem-
ness, and all societies organized or hav-
ing an election of officers during the
month Of May are requested to notify
the directory people, by telephone, by
postal or by calling at the directory
