the house. She demands that she be put
out by the servants She is on the verge OF
cursing. Her anger is further heated by
Marlan's burst of resentment. Lorimer Is
confused. At this critical moment the
daughter ~re-enters. She tells the dress
makers messenger" that she has called n
cab for her. Marian is sick. She takes up
her box and leaves the room without an
other word.
The play ends in a poor room In a lodging
house. Marian has been making cotillon
favors and the old servant, who is now
with her. has been selling them. A disease
of the heart has about conquered the strug-
CLING woman Her daughter is brought TO
her by Adrian. The man that has loved
the first time takes her in his arms. The
shock is too much and Marian dies.
The death is not i'm itself affecting be-
cause it is extraneous to the sense of the
play. 1t is not satisfactorily set out,
either. why Marian should not have con-
sented when her lover, whom she first met
i'm San Francisco. asked her to let him
marry and care for her. One can under
stand that the wish TO see and meet her
daughter crowded out all other desire for
happiness; that the thought of giving in
to the love that the man offered her was
a blot on the Durer wish TO express her
mOther-love. This, indeed, is credible. for
the love of a man and a woman is very
dangerous under the conventional system
unless il IS supported by the most familiar
customs of the freside. Otherwise it is
hardly legitimate and not TO be trusted far.

mer TO act as she did. However. there is
a whole play in this, too, and it should not
have been treated so casually and careless
~ as Mrs. Harrison has treated il.
The play. at all it's periods, admirable
and defective, was vitalized by Mrs. Ffske's
genius. She seems instinctively to know
the truth; she has a marvellous natural in
tuition and a powerful sympathy. As Ma
rian Hatch she was no less convincing than
she had been in other representations,
though she had not many opportunities
here TO move her audience. "a Bit of Old
Chelsea" did not help her. This little 10
nance is really little more than a farce
and is not worthy of use by Mrs. F1ske.
The flower girl is not even valuable as a
bit of Characterization, for Mrs. Fiske does
not act II in dialect or i'm mannerism.
Mrs. Fiske's company Is of unusual abil-
ity. Annie Ward Tiffany, wholesome and
bright, had the part of the serving woman
in The UnwelcOme Mrs. Hatch Robert
T. Haines played straightforwardly the
part of Trevor, who loved Marian. Bran
don Hurst was Richard LOrimer. Max Fig
man had little chance to display his skill in
the part of the lawyer, CleeVe.

CENTRAL MINI. HARVEST
Good Yield of All Grains-Some
Changes for the Worse.

Central Minnesota's wheat harvest pro-

Counties in the central section have a
fly has done some damage. Some of the
country on the western border was in
jured by the extreme hot weather of two
weeks ago. Generally there is promise
of good grade.
Big Stone county's yield, owing to the
hot weather and hail, has been reduced
between two and three bushels per acre.
The Hessian fly Is the principal complaint
in Wilktn which, however, has a fair
yield In sight. Grain has had thrifty
season in Otter Tail and Stevens county
has done WE'LL Wheat acreage in this
part of the state has suffered some de-
cline, although it is probably not so
great as the early reports made it. Todd
and Morrison have increased their cul
1t to wheat. In the other counties Of
central Minnesota wheat has lost some
to- corn, oats, and barley.
Parts of southern Minnesota have had
too much rain. Blue Earth, Faribault,
Waseca, Steele and other counties in that
section have suffered. In some localities
the soil has been SO wet as to. make the
oats and barley harvest decidedly puz-

of the state too much rain has made a
decided change. Wheat will be ma

Millers in those counties say that good
weather from now on would give them
fair yield. Brown county has held it's

the adverse effects Of dry weather in
the southwestern counties in June point
to comparatively low yield of wheat in
the two southern tiers of counties.

Mr.. JONES WONT run.
He Is Not a Candidate for Mayor to
Succeed Himself.

Willing, However, TO $ss - Serve the,
Fifth Ward Another. Term

D. Percy Jones, acting mayor, will not
be candidate for reelection to that
office.
He has authorized T Journal to
make that statement to-day in answer to
speculation on the subject, which has
naturally assumed that he might become
candidate to succeed himself to the
also, in answer to the urgent request OF
many citizens who would be glad to sup
port him for that Office.
Mr.. Jones says his sole ambition as to
public affairs at the present time is SO
to discharge the duties of the office OF
mayor as to meet the approval OF the
people whom he undertakes to serve. And
TIL Q ourna understands from MS
conversation on the subject that he feels
that he would be in a better position to
achieve that result If he were not a
candidate than If he should allow his
name to be used as, an aspirant for the
Office at the hands of the voters.
This is probably the correct view Of the
matter to take. 1t leaves him abso-
lutely unhampered by influences which
might try to reach him if he were can
didate and relieves him OF any suspicion
that anything he may do is done to pro-
mote his political welfare or for the pur-
pose of organizing machine. =.
He authorizes the statement. however,
that he will be a candidate to succeed
himself in the council, and should the
voters of the fifth ward wish to continue
him in that position, he will be willing to
serve them another four years. Undoubt-
edly the fifth ward will take that view
of it, as Mr.. Jones has demonstrated his
efficiency and value to the ward as its
representative and to the city as presi-
dent Of the council, in which position he
will undoubtedly be continued if he is re-

NO STRIKE LIKELY
American Bridge Company's Mana
ger Here Doesn't Expect Trouble.
UNION MEN IN THE SHOPS ARE FEW
Outside Unionfsts Who Might Boy
! colt Products Won't Have an
Early Opportunity.

! The general strike Of the American
Bridge company employees that has been
ordered, according to to-days dispatches
from Philadelphia, by the executive COM
mittee of the structural iron workers
union, will probably not extend to Mime
apolis. The committee Is said to have or
dered members of the union out at all
the plants Of the bridge company through
out of the country. The object is to help
employees of the Philadelphia plant, who
have been on strike for higher wages
since May !. Union men have been In
structed not only to quit working for
the bridge company, but to refuse TO han
die any of its products.
At the local branch OF the company on
the east side the men said this morning
that only one or two of them belonged to
the structural iron workers union. The
$50 or 200 members of the union in Min
neapolis are employed not in shops but in
outside work, and are engaged, not by
the Bridge company, but by subcontract-
ors. ~ -.
The few union men at the company's 8
shops would probably not go out. AS for
the union men outside, they would not be
called upon to handle the company's steel
for a month or more. BY that time up
wards of u, 900 tons of the Bridge COM
pany's output will be set up at the new
harvester works in South Minneapolis
The local unions future action upon the
request of the national executive commit
tee will be discussed tonight at the reg
ular meeting Of the union to held at
Alexander's hall, "a South Sixth street.
II don't look for any difficulty what
ever" said Manager Lees of the Bridge
company. There is no dissatisfaction
that 1 am aware of among our 300 men.
In fact, all I know of the Philadelphia
order is the published telegram. BY the
time the local union has to handle any
amount of our steel the trouble will
probably have been adjusted.'

JUST some HOT AIR
That Fourth Of July Speech Of
Chief Falmouth
SAYS A. G. BERNARD OF WALKER
The Chiefs "Arguments'' Answered
No Danger of Serious
Trouble.

II see old Falmouth has been making
big talk again. said A. G. Bernard OF
Walker and Cass Lake this morning. HE
is a coward and an alarmist, and there
IS no. danger of any trouble with the
Leech Lake Indians. Falmouth Is afraid
OF the Bear islanders, who drove him
into exile for ten years at one time, and
he talks to curry favor with them.
'Flatmouth says the Morris bill takes
away their heritage That is not so, and
he. knows it. When Falmouth was at
washington last winter with Bill Bonga,
Senator Clapp explained the bill to them,
and they were entirely satisfied.
In 1889, under the Rice treaty, they
ceded the whole of the present reserva-
lion 10 the government. In 1890 knute
Nelson, then in congress, secured the
passage OF the Nelson law. This pro-
vided that the timber was to be estimated
and sold at not less than SO thousand.
This carried with it all the hardwood, and
the land too, except agricultural land.
The Dill was good one at that time, but
would not be under present conditions.
Inree crews OF estimators went through
the reservation, and none of them re-
port ed more than so per cent Of the tim
ber. This state of affairs came to the
attention OF Secretary Hitchcock, and he
refused to open the land under. the Mel
son law. Hence the Morris bill was
passed, with every safeguard Tor the
rights OF the Indians. 1t provides that
the timber be sold under sealed bids, and
by bank scale, and If the Indians are not
satisfied they may pick auxiliary scalers
to look out for them. They get $4 a
thousand for Norway pine, and IS for
white pine. --.,..-
"Then the old chief says that the gov
ernment has granted no relief for their
people. Last winter Senator Clapp Sc
cured an appropriation allowing them
$166,O00 for the dead and down timber
taken off year ago last wint ter and that
money Is now available. I don't see
what more they could ask
"Flatmouth is very funny when he says
he led the Indians, in the 1898 trouble.
He never went near, and we all know it.
After the fight, when the Brainerd relief
company was going across to Sugar Point,
| they passed Flatmouths camp, and the
old chief came out to the shore to ask
what the trouble was. He was on the
other side of the lake all the time, loaf
ing around with the squaws and old men.
1.-The trouble is, the Indians have ac-
quired our habit Of making spread eagle
Fourth of July orations, and they are not
very particular about the facts, just so
they make big sounding talk"

AN OBSTACLE OVERCOME
IN MOVING THE COUNTY MoRGUE
Brick Building Taken Over r. I.
Station Foundation, on
Wooden Trestle.

The largest single brick building ever
moved intact in :, Minneapolis is the
county morgue, now on it's way to it's new
site between Ninth and Tenth avenues S
on Fifth street., The structure weighs
300 tons, and measures 3Sx40 feet. It was
lifted from its foundations by LOO jack
screws, and the ends we're placed on steel
l beams. The first course of stone ma
sonry from the foundation was left at
tached to the brick walls forming strong
binder. No braces are used BY keeping
the building plumb it will be saved from
cracking or falling away.
About 400 horse power is necessary to
drag the building on it's rollers. This is
furnished by blocks and tackle operated
by capstan, which is moved by two
horses.
At Ninth avenue was encountered the
foundation of the incomplete Rock Island
freight house, which intersects the ave-
nue. A trestle was built up from the
basement to the street level, and yester-
day the old morgue was rolled across In
safety.

SHOT A CHAUFFEUR
Farmer Whose Horses Were Scared
Gets Even.
THE AUTO DRIVER SAYS NOTHING
Farmers Along Minnetonka Road
Said to Be Sworn Anti
AutomObilfsts.

Farmers along the Minnetonka road have
declared war against automobiles. Re-
Gently one of them went so far as to
shoot at and hit society chaffeur whose
machine had fright tened his horses The
victim is well known, and, as he was not
seriously hurt, decided to keep the mat
ter quiet. -
He says that the granger's horses be-
came frightened before the machine
passed them, and that after he had passed,
the sman deliberately shot him in the
back with small calibre rifle.
Hoping to escape, the chatting he knew
he would receive If the incident ever be-
came known, he decided to make no fuss
about his wound, which, however, was de-
cidedly painful.
1t is said that a number of farmers liv-
ing along the road have agreed to do
everything in their power to discourage
automobilists, but such drastic measures
as shooting man in the back will
scercely be indorsed by many of them.
Such an offense, II the offender should
be brought into court, would result in
heavy penitentiary sentence, and, des-
pite the action Of the first victim, it is by
no means a joking matter.

ED STEVENS ON THE LAW
Judges of Last Election Must Serve
Mt n SneciaI Election.


Mt a Special Election.
Ed Stevens, whose fondness for legal
distractions and "kettle p'ints O the law
is we'll known, says that one important
matter has been overlooked and that Is
that the charter clearly provides that
when a city officer removes from the city
or from the ward, if he happens to be a
ward officer, the fact of his removal Gre
ates vacancy in the Office. The question
is: Has DR.. Anes removed from Mime
apolis?
Mr.. Stevens calls attention to the fact
that while the council might call a spec
ial election on the primary election day
it must appoint the judges of the last
regular election as judges at the special
election. The charter so provides. That
would have a bearing upon the expense
of a special election.
lMr. Stevens agrees with City Attorney
Healy to the effect that while the regula-
tion as to special election is mandatory
the council might ignore it till some one
saw fit to go into the courts to compel
action, but he differs from some who have
speculated on the subject as he believes
that no political party would be guilty
of the blunder of trying to force spe-
cial election and be responsible for the
cost when no doubt the situation will be
reasonably satisfactory to the general
public If the present regime should run
through undisturbed to the end of the
year. Mr.. Stevens also suggests that an
effort might fail through legal delays If
the council were disposed to resist.

One of the principal features Is a map
showing the many states in which twin city
wholesalers and manufacturers sell goods
This will be a revelation to the citizens of
the northwest as showing the prestige and in
fluence of this market. Numerous lines are
sold in practically every state west of the
Mississippi to the Pacific coast and Gulf OF

farther east. :tt = H.
The special features are articles which re-

SERGEANT IN COMMAND.
Incident of Civil War Recalled by
Monuments dwelling. -H


The unwilling Of monument yesterday at
Culpepper, Va, in honor Of the Twenty
eighth New York volunteer infantry, reminded
the friends Of James Smith, now guard at the
Minneapolis workhouse. of the distinction he
acquired with that regiment. When the bat
tie of Cedar Mountain began Mr.. Smith was
orderly sergeant OF the Twenty-eighth At
the close OF the battle he commanded the
regiment. He is said to- be the only non
commissioned officer, that acquired authority
SO quickly in the course of the civil war.
This battle was extremely ferce--a Roman
short sword conflict. Every commissioned
officer on the federal side was speedily
wounded, captured or killed. Sergeant Smith
himself was taken prisoner, but his captor
was slain. The following morning the ser
geant found himself the ranking officer of
ninety survivors In recognition Of his sery-
ices he was made second lieutenant by
President Lincoln. @

Protests From Millers.

When the city board of equalization met

nouAced that the board would probably
finish it's labors before evening. Several
large milling companies were expected to-
apply for reductions this afternoon. Rep
resentatives of the Northwestern Consoli
dated Milling company this morning said
that their assessment had been increased
80 per cent, yet the increase in value Of
the plant for the year had been nowhere
near that figure. They asked that the7as-
sessment be reduced.
City Assessor Fort replied that If there
had been such an increase it was due to
the fact that the previous assessments had
been inadequate.
A. delegation Of taxpayers from the Sec
ond ward informed the board that the
valuation placed on East Side property
was much higher than the values de-
manded. Assessments were ordered re-
duced Is per cent. The assessment on the
Harrison & Smith printing establishment
was reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.
