CONTINUED INJURY AND DIS
GRACE

The curtain has been rung down on
another act in the political comedy of
errors in Minneapolis. 1t leaves the
spectators as sorely puzzled as thew
have been from the outset as to the
final outcome of the comedy. A. A.
Ames is still mayor and Coffee John is
indicated. The scapegoat for the
time is the mayors brother and his SUI
perintendent of police.
On Sept. 6, if Mayor Ames does not
reconsider his resignation before If is
accepted by the council, he win he No
longer mayor. Until that time he can
return to Minneapolis and discharge all
the duties of city executive in his own
peculiar way, or he may continue the
superintendent of an Indiana health in
stltution and have those duties nerforr,-
ed by proxy. All in all, the situation ere
ated by the recent action of Mavor
Arnes would be eXasperating, if it were
not absurd.
There is marked disposition on the
part of the Republican organs in this
and the other city to treat Mayor Ames
as having rendered a great service to
the community. Wherein the service
consists is not apparent. The reten-
lon Of his brother in office was little
less than a deliberate crime on bis
part If that brothers removal at this
time is to be regarded as commendabIa

Minneapolis will be secured when the
entire brood of Republican protested
reformers now in office are driven out
and a Democratic administration as
nearly alike as possible in it's princi-
pies and policies to that of Mayor Gray
is reinstated. This cannot be accom-
plished before the opening of the COM
ing year. Whatever Mayor Ames or
his political henehmen may do in the
interval Minneapolis must continue to
bear the injury and disgrace brought
upon it until such time as the ma
jority Of its people ordain otherwise
through the ballot box.

GEN. SMITH LEARNS
OF HIS RETIREMENT
Returns From the Philippines and Is
Terribly Distressed by the Presi-
dents Action.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. L.
Standing on the bridge of the trans
port Thomas, Gen. Jacob H. Smith,
tried by court-martial for having or
dered the island of Samar transforms
ed into bowling wilderness, was
doomed today to first learn that the
president has retired him from active
duty. The pilc4 boat, which met the
Thomas just outside the heads at 2
O'Clock this morning, brought to Gen
Smith the first news of the president g
action. In the light of a pinnacle lamp
the veteran read the message that ap-
pr1Sed him of his fate. An hour later
the dawn came and with it the sight
of land, but Gen. Smith had retired to
his cabin, where, with his wife and
chief aid, Lieut.. Shields, of the Twelfth
Infantry, he discussed the outcome of
the long ordeal through which he had
passed.
Six hours later, when the Thomas
reached the quarantine station in the
harbor, Maj Duva1, of the transport
service boarded the ship with his sec
rotary and met both Gen. Smith and
Lieut.. Shields at the door of the gen
eraFs cabin. A sealed document from
the war department was handed Cen
Smith. 1t contained the official notifica-
ton of President Roosevelt's action,
and upon reading it Gen. Smith retir-
ed, overcome with emotion. Gen.
Smith was not seen again until the
United States custom house tender,
Hartley, was ready to take the general
and his party ashore. He denied him
self to all interviewers. Together with
his wife and aid Gen. Smith proceed
ed to the Occidental hotel, rs airing
thence to army headquarters, where
he remained during the morning.
Gen. Smith has absolutely nothing
to say for publication said Lieut.
Shields. HE is not at liberty to talk,
and furthermore has nothing to say.
He has been hopeful that the president
would not take action against him,
and, of course, feels keenly the force
of the blow he has received"
Gen. Smith, who is wearing civilian
attire, appeared exceedingly nervous
and worn. His sixty-two years are
plainly read in his every action, and
his intimate friends fear he is break
ing down. His sealed orders require
him to report to the adjutant general
at Washington, and 1t is likely he will
lose no time in starting for the ma
tional capital.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Aug. l.
Congressman Walter R. Smith this

GROUND MARKED BY A
CROSS SHAPED FISSURE
Freak of Thunderstorm in an Illinois
Town.

TROY, Ill, Aug. During a severe
electrical storm here yesterday after
noon a cross shaped assure was form
ed in the ground near the school build
ing, one arm of which is forty feet
long and about six inches wide, and
the other twenty &eet long and six
inches wire.
Elias Burke, a carriage manufacture
er, whose establishment is in the vi
cinity discovered the freak of nature
soon after the storm. Where the arms
of the cross converge there is a hole
two feet in diameter. A line $50 feet
long, weighted with lead, did not touch
bottom.
The theory is advanced that bolt OF
lightning entered the ground, yet those
in the vicinity assert that no unusual

Fight May Be Precipitated.

The latest commercial merger is the
st. Paul Licensed House Lovers asso-
citation. The combination was brought
about this week and has for its princi-
pal object the fighting of the demand
of the st. Paul City Railway company
tnat 1t be reimbursed when it's wires
have to be lowered to permit the pas
sage of house.
The nrst clash came yesterday when
M l.. McIntire appeared at the city
building department and asked for a
permit to move building on the
west side. 1t was granted, but when
the engineering department was ap-
pealed to for a permit to allow the
passage of the house along the streets,
ne was asked to first obtain the 0. X.
OF the street railway, which was equiv
alent to asking that he make his peace
with that corporation by the payment
OF the fee demanded for lowering the
wires. This Mr.. lMcIntire fatty refused
to do, contending that he had given
Doth verbal and written notice to the
street car company of his intention of
crossing the streets. After an appeal
to the legal department, which held
that such 0. K. was not necessary, the
permit was granted. The building
which is to be moved under this per-
NIT now rests at South Wabasha street
and Fillmore avenue, but so far the
street railway company has not an

as the service is not interrupted. The
street car company, on the other hand.
admits that it must lower it's wires,
but holds that it has right to demand

pense it is put to.

are ABOUT dozen, are now preparing
