WORKED CONFIDENCE GAME.
Fred kersten Gave Up $50 to Confidence
Man.

Man.
Fred Kersten of McGregor, Iowa, could
not have been reader of the Twin City
daily papers for the past three months,
or he would not have given up $40 to a
big mitt'' operator whom he met in the
city yesterday.
and was walking up the street looking
at the high buildings, when he was &C
costed by man who asked him some
thing about the city. Kersten told him
he was a stranger in the city and that
he had just arrived on the train.
The con- man told him that he was
he was going" Kersten said that he
was going up to the harvest fields in
Bottineau county, North Dakota, and,
strange as it may appear, this is where
the stranger was bound.
From then on they became chums. The
stranger told Kersten that he was en-
route to Bottineau county with two car
loads of horses and that if he would help
him take care of the horses he would
give him free passage to the harvest
fields, and also give him a good job when
they arrived at their destination.
They walked around town for while,
and finally the stranger told him he had
a little freight bill to pay at the depot
before they could start, and as he had
to pay the bill he could not get it cashed,
and asked to loan him some money I'M
til they got into North Dakota, where
he was acquainted with all the bankers
there, and the check would be cashed and
money returned.
Kersten obliged his new-found friend
with loan of $40, and the fellow said
you wait here while I run over to the
depot and straighten this little matter
up, and then we will take in the town I'M
til train time.
Kersten waited in vain; the fellow, Of
course, never showed up, and then, the
matter was reported to the police No
arrests have been made, but it is expected
that they may be able to get on track
of the CON man.

CHIEF AMES AND SECRETARY
BROWN PASS MANY UNCOM-
ELEMENTARY REMARKS
CAPT. HILL TRANSFERRED
TO NORTH SIDE STATION
Chief Ames to Hold Conference With
Acting Mayor Powers, and Police
Situation to Be Thoroughly Discuss
ed-City Attorney Healy and Chief
Visits Columbia Theater.

Superintendent of Police Ames and
Thomas R. Brown Jr, private secretary
to Mayor Ames, have entered into a
newspaper controversy and are en-
deavoring to let the general public
know what their opinions are of each
other, as for instance:
Brown says; The chief was weak
ling in every position which he has
held; he is wash rag"
Col. AmeS retorts: why, I wouldn't
pay any more attention to what Brown
has to say about me than would about
the barkings of the lowest, meanest,
most ornery,yellow cur upon the street;
he is nothing but clerk in the en-
ploy of the city and is only entitled to
the ScantieSt consideration.
These and a hundred other compli-
mentary remarks emanated from both
Ames and Brown yesterday, while the
police situation was under considera-
ton, and it is likely that the war is
not yet over.
Brown says that he proposes to
watch the chief from this time forth,
not as a city official, but as a citizen,
and he will see that he prforms his full
duty as the head and front of the po-
lice department, or else there will be
trouble in camp.
Will Make No Great Changes.
Supt. Ames says that the people
were misinformed when the papers said
that there would be a general shakeup
In the department. That was a matter
that would require careful considera-
ton, and he did not anticipate that
many changes would be made and for
IL. ~
of the officers would lose their posi-
lions, so long as they obeyed orders
and endeavored to perform their full
duties.
The chief held a conference with
City Attorney Healey yesterday, and
together they went to the Columbia
theater in order to look over the prop
osition of that place running as
theater and having a wine room con-
nection. 1t could not be learned
whether the city attorney had decided
that they were complying with the
ordinance in conducting the place along
present lines.
Will Confer With Powers.
A conference was also arranged for
with Acting Mayor Powers yesterday
but through some hitch the meeting
had to be postponed. Just what
conference between these two would
amount to is problematic. 1t cannot
be for the purpose of dismissing any
+ of the present members of the police
force, neither can it be for the con-
sideration of new appointees, as the
acting mayor has no authority what
ever along either of these lines. The
conference is probably for the purpose
of an exchange of opinion along lines
Of lettering the police organization of
the city.
Chief Ames Defends Himself.
The chief also took occasion to say

JUSTICE TEMPERED WITH MERCY.
Judge Holt Passes Unusual Sentence
Upon an Old Woman.


Judge Holt deviated from the ordinary
procedure in the municipal court yester-
day, and instead of imposing a straight
sentence, dealt out justice on the INSTALL
ment plan.
The case, which was that of the state
against Lucy Dent, was pitiful one
The defendant was a woman sixty years
of age who gave her place of residence
as Red Wing. AS she walked faltering
toward the bar, when the clerk called her
name and pleaded guilty to stealing a
silk skirt valued at IS from one of the
local department stores, even the most
gasped with pity. Judge Holt
was first in a quardary as to what
sentence to impose. The woman" was
evidently respectable and her gray hair
just whitening about the temples ap-
pealed to the court as no plea for Glenn
ency would have done.
Finally Judge Holt imposed a fine Of
SIS, with the alternative of 80 days in the
Workhouse. The woman did not have
the money. AS she was being taken out
of the room by an officer, the court called
her back and informed her that sentence
would be suspended She was to return
to her home at Red Wing and paw the
fine by inStallments.
Tears filled the woman's eyes as she
murmured a few broken words of thanks
Then the court room cynics came out
of their trance and began to speculate
as to whether the court would ever see
the color of her money.

Slate Is Made Up.

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 29.-The
withdrawal of Lafayette Young, of Des
Moines, this evening, as a candidate
for member of the committee on reso-
lutions from the Seventh district, is
generally regarded as ending the oppo-
sition to the reaffimation of last years
platform by the Republican state con-
vent1on tomorrow. Mr. Young's decis-
ion was announced after a caucus Of
the Polk county delegation.
Senators Allison and DoIliver and
the entire Iowa delegation in congress
are here to attend the convention.
While some of the congressman have
privately favored modification of last
years platform, none of the delega-
ton has taken part in the contest so
far as it has progressed.
The candidates are:
Court Reporter-B. I. Salinger, of
Manning, candidate for denomination;
w. w. Cornwall, of Spencer, and J. H.
Williams, of Ames.

son, of Waverly, candidate for renomi-
nation; N. S. Kethum, of Marshall

liking Aug. 9 as the date for the coro-
nation, which is altogether more i'm
portant than anything which might or
might not have appeared upon the
cards Of invitations.
According to the present arrange
ments King Edward and Queen Alex
andra will leave Cowes either Aug. {
or 3 for Buckingham palace, and will
return to the royal yacht Aug. IS, when
the entire fleet will pass before King
Edward and salute him, thus making
second naval review. After his return
to the yacht the king is expected ia
take an extended cruise to the north
ward and subsequently to spend some
weeks at Balmoral, where preparations
for the arrival of their majesties have
already been commenced
Great Feast Planned.
Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale, the lord may
or of London, expects King Edward to
visit the city Of London the week end
ing Oct. IL, when a great luncheon will
be held in the Guildhall, which is to be
followed by a royal procession through
the South of London. All these plans
may not be carried out to the letter,
but their arrangement, combined with
the emphatic optimism of the kings
physicians, is generally taken as in
surfing, so far as human foresight can
be relied upon, the kings coronation
for Aug. 9.
1t is perhaps significant that Queen
Alexandra, the Prince of Wales and
other members of the royal family
were all ashore today playing lawn
tennis and hockey.

WATER STAGE is LOW.
Not Enough Water in Upper Mississippi
to Float LOGS.

Not Enough Water in Upper Mississippi
to Float Logs.
Unless there is Zome rain soon in the
northern .-~<t of the state, the sawmiIls
in Minneapolis will have to suspend OPP
erations because there is not enough wa
ter to float logs.
The water stage at the present time,
according to the boom company, is with
in three inches of its lowest period, and
while there are quite a number of logs in
the ponds for the mills to work on, as
soon as they are gone they will have
to shut down unless rain falls.
The, water in the lower river is about
as high as usual for this time of the year.
The reason for this is that it is being fed
by the Minnesota river, and in the part
of the state traversed by this stream
there has been an abundance of rainfall.
This is the first time in a number of
years that there has not been enough wa
ter in the upper Mississippi to raft and
drive logs to the mills during the month
of July.
There are many logs hung up at differ
ent points that it is impossible to move,
and what the lumber firms will do in or
der to get their logs to the mills unless
they can be transported by water is quite
a problem, that they have not solved as
vet.

RANGE OF FORTY MILES.

The first question asked by a civilian on
having his attention called to new gun is,
how far will it shootf He naturally knows
that the greater the range the greater the
penetration at given distance.
The artillerist inquiries, what the pene-
tration or energy of the piece, and from
that, computes the range.
To answer the question in the minds Of
the people, our ballist1c engineer, Col.
James NJ. ingalls,, ofthe s. Army retired,
has kindly computed for us the range OF
the ten-inch gun, 1902 model, as follows
"The range at As degrees elevation, 800
pound shot, $500 feet per second muzzle
velocity, will be 4O.S65 miles"
It's nearest rival has about one half that
range, computed by the same authority.

that there would have been no 'big
mitt" men in Minneapolis had he had
his way in the matter, and had the au-
thority to carry out his wishes. He
wished it understood, however, that he
did not say this in criticism of his
brothers action or in any manner re-
fiecting upon the mayor, He merely
wished to state his exact position in
the matter.
Tom Brown says that he heard the
mayor issue repeated orders to drive
the big mitt" men out of the city.
The chief issued the order, and the
detectives rounded up the big mltt-
ers," but they got together and jollied
the chief, until he allowed them to
remain. He also said that he heard a
detective absolutely refuse to drive a
ICON" man out of town, after he had
been told to do so.
The reason for the detectives action
was because he knew the order was
not meant seriously. When the mayor
gave Capt. Hill power to act, however,
the big mitt" men left town, because
they knew he meant business and
would not stand for their work.
Capt. Hill Transferred.
AS was expected, Supt. Ames trans
ferred Capt. Hill from the Central sta
ton to the North side station yester-
day. Capt. Jake" Helm, an old MEM
Der of the department, was transferred
to Central station, and Capt. Gus"
Runge will occupy Capt. Hills chair
at police headquarters.
1t is we'll known that Chief Ames
and Capt. Hill are not on the best of
terms, and this move was made more
with the desire for harmony at head
quarters than to let down Capt. Hill,
so the chief says.

STAMPING OUT SLAVERY
AMONG THE MORO NATIVES
Sentence of Twenty Years Imposed by
Court Martial on One Of Them.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2s-The
records of a number of interesting
court martials in the Philippines have
been received at the war department.
One of the cases touched the practice
of slavery which is carried on by the
Moros. A native named Manupad
was charged with being one of party
of three which hacked and cut to
death another native named Sulso,
near Burang, Mindanao. After murder
ing Sulso, the three natives bound and
carried away the dead mans wife, son
and daughter and sold them as slaves.
Manupad was sentenced to conf1ne-
