Republican who knows aught of

a whole-souled fellow whom it is a
pleasure to know, he is the right

Many Virginians who would be
pleased to honor both NJ. C. Palmer,
Republican candidate for register
of deeds, and NJ. L. Fay, Democratic
candidate for congress, may not
appreciate the provisions of the
primary election law. But in case
of both receiving the respective
nominations sought many range
people would depart from party af.
filiations in marking their ballot at
the November election.

Hon. VIM. D. Edison, whose un-

for him the support of every loyal
Republican on Tuesday next, was
in the city Wednesday and Thurs

telling campaign, winning the re-
spect of all with whom he comes in
contact.
A congressional candidate who
but eight years ago referred to the
followers of Republication as
know-nothings," "mountebanks"
and dogs is assuredly entitled to

the Republican hosts who desire to
place themselves on a like level, &C.

Extracts from the Koochiching
Border Budget Of Aug. II, 1902:

"On Wednesday Of last week Messrs.
lockwood, Backus Trumer, Cook, McCrca
and Nutter, representing the Koochiching
Townsite Company, arrived at this place
and spent some time looking over their in.
terests here.
Mr.. lockwood and associates have la
bored diligently during the past seven or
eight years to interest people of means in
the development Of the water power at this
place and have at last succeeded, the only
obstacle in the way now being the consent
of the Ontario government to allow them to
develop the power.
It is estimated that upwards of 81 100000
will be expended on the water power within
the next two years, in building dam, pulp
and paper mills md saw mills; in fact it is
stated that one of the largest and best equip
ped saw mills in Minnesota will be built at
Koochiching.
Mr.. Backus is a prominent lumberman
of Minneapolis. He stated that between five
and six million dollars would be expended
in building the railroad, developing the wa
ter power and building mills at this place
and Fort Frances
Everything at present goes to show that
something is going to be done at once and
comes as good news to many who have spent
the past seven or eight years here, none of
them, however, wavering the least in their
opinion that Koochiching would one day be,
what has long been prophesied, one of the
largest manufacturing centers in Minnesota"

WEATHER SIGNALS AT ARMORY
May BE Displayed From Home of
First Regiment

Weather Forecaster H. B. Boyer has
been asked to display weather signals
from the First Regiment Armory, for
the benefit of the residents of that
portion of the city in which the arm
DRY is located.
Mr.. Boyer said yesterday that he
had not yet decided whether it would
be practical, to accede to the request
or not, but that he would decide with
in a few days. Il will look the local
ity over within a few days, and if con-
ditions seem to warrant that weather
signals there would be a good idea they
will be displayed. l do not think, how
ever, that we will ever display any
thing there except hurricane signals.
People in the city have no occasion
for any other weather warnings. The
majority of people who are interested
in the general weather conditions, such
as impending storms and so forth, are
those who have shipping interests.
Therefore it would be of no use. to post
the regular weather signals at the
armory. The hurricane signals, 1 be-
lieve, will not be displayed very fire.
quently, as last year l only remember
on one occasion when the Weather Blu
reau gave warning of a hurricane"

The Five Who Did Not Pass Exami-
nation May Get Another Chance.
The five new policemen appointed to
take the places of men who have eth
er been discharged, resigned or died.
went on duty at O'Clock last night for
the first time. All of them were given
easy posts on account of their green
ness and up to early this morning none
of them had made an arrest.
The new men are James McGrath, p.
p. Brazell, d. p. Phillips, Lawrence
Kelly and Jesse r. burden. They all
passed the physical examination before
Health officer w. F. Drummer and it
is believed will make good policemen.
The other five men, who did not pass
the examination, will probably be Civ
en- another chance, but it is known that
at least one will not pass as he is over
an inch too short in stature for the re-
quirements. The defects of the other
men are said to be trif1ing and they
will probably pass on a second exam
ination.
Many humorous stories went the
rounds in police circles in regard to
some of the men appointed by Mayor
Myers. One man stated that a MEM
Der of the new delegation was not only
a physical wreck but that he was suf-
fering from every ailment that human
flesh is heir to. He should have been

The policemen who were DISCHARGED
were notified officially of. their dis
missal when they reported for duty
yesterday. The men were not given
their full months pay but were only
paid up to the time of their dismissal.
One of them said to a reporter for the
Morning News that as he had been
given no notice of his dismissal
he is of the opinion that he is entitled
to full months pay. He announced
his intention of retaining a lawyer TO
press his claim.
Some of the men who were dis
charged were Indignant at what they
called the grossly unfair treatment
accorded them. There were no out
breaks at the station house, however,
and the men quietly turned in their
accoutrements, and after being paid
off left the barracks without any
comment

PLAN FOR EMMETT PARK.
Improvement of the Tract Designed
by Acting Mayor Dixon.

Acting Mayor Dixon is having a plan
for the Improvement of Emmett Park
prepared. 1t will be submitted to
Council when ready. together with a
resolution by the alderman for an APP
preparation to admit of the work be-
ing done.
About $4,000, the acting Mayor
thinks, will be required to carry out the
plan. This embraces a scheme for one
roadway, which will extend from one
end to the other of the park 1t will
be we'll paved. and and will afford a
means of communication for business
concerns on the north side of Bay
street, that are now lacking a road
way on the level of the street.
One feature of the improvement will
be a sidewalk running the length of
the park along the bluff. This will be
a promenade that will afford view of
the harbor. Curbing will be laid to
define the limit of the sidewalk.
Not one of the trees now growing in
the park, the acting Mayor said, will
be disturbed by the plan. He does not
believe in sacrificing the arboreal
beauty of the city, and the residents of
that section of the city, if the plan is
adopted, will see no diminution, but an
Increase, in the attractiveness of EN-
met Park.

Plans for the Germania Bank Build
ing VIII de Drawn.
Bruce and Morgan, Atlanta archi-
tects, will design the Germania Banks
building that is to be erected at the
southwest corner of Bull and Congress
streets. This decision was reached by
the board of directors of the bank,
which held a meeting yesterday morn
ing. The report of the Building Com
mittee was received. recommending
the employment of the Atlanta firm.
The recommendation was followed.
Messrs. Bruce and Morgan were
among the eight or nine architects
who submitted plans for the consider
alton of the directors None of the
plans submitted pleased the directors
thoroughly, as their ideas of the
banks needs differed somewhat from
those of the architects. The commit
tee, however, concluded that the best
results could be secured by employing
the Atlanta firm to draw new plans
following special suggestions from the
bank.
The architects will begin at once
upon the new plans, as the bank is
anxious to have plans and speclfca-
tions for submission to contractors as
soon as possible.

PLAINTIFF DISMISSED CASE.
Railroad Damage Suit for 100000
Came to Sudden Conclusion.

Railroad Damage Suit for $4,000
Came to Sudden Conclusion.
The suit of China Maxwell against
the Charleston and Savannah Railway
Company, the trial of which was be-
gun in the City Court yesterday, came
to an abrupt and unexpected termi-
nation during the morning. 1t was
dismissed upon the motion of the
plaintiffs counsel.
The suit was for $4,000 damages for
the death of the PLAINTIFFS son, who
was shot by a conductor while en-
deavoring to steal a ride to Savannah
on the sleepers of a car. The con-
ductor took a shot at the boy from
the end of the car and wounded him
so that he fell from his precarious
position to the rails and was crushed
to death under the wheels of the car.
The suit was brought by the mother
as the legal representative of the cs-
tate of her dead son and to uphold her
right to use and recover damages she
offered in evidence a certified copy of
the grant of letters of administration
upon the estate to her.
Counsel for the defendant objected
to the introduction of this EVIDENCE,
on the ground that the letters had not
been granted in accordance with law
and after a spirited argument Judge
Norwood upheld this contention, and
ruled out the offered letters.
Under the circumstances there was
but one thing for counsel for the plain
tiff to do, and that was to dismiss
the case. This was done. 1t is prob
able that the case will be brought over
the plaintiff and Walter G.. Charlton
and Shelby Myrick for the defendant.

SUICIDE THEORY ACCEPTED.
Man Found Dead at Ways station
Believed to Have Killed Himself.

Man Found Dead at Ways station
Believed to Have Killed Himself.
The Seaboard Air Line Railway yes
terday began an investigation of the
death of G.. H. Higginbotham, who, as
told in yesterdays Morning News, was
found dead alongside the railroad
track at Ways Station early yester-
day morning.
Special Agent A. c. Feltz of the rail-
road company went to Ways Station
yesterday. He discovered that when
the man was found he had in one
hand pistol with one discharged
cartridge in it, and in the other hand
a bottle of whisky. 1t is believed that
the man committed suicide. 1t was
at first, reported that a murder had
been committed, but now everything
seems to point to suicide, and no traces
of foul play have been discovered 1t
is supposed that the man shot him
self in the mouth, and as his head is
badly cut it is probable that he was
also struck by a train.
The body was removed to Dorches-
ter, where the man had friends who
will take charge of the funeral ar
engagements.

SUGGESTED AN ASSAULT.
Negro Seized Hold of the Wife OF
SerRt. Powell.

sergt. Powell.
For approaching the wife of Police
Sergeant Powell and taking hold of her
arm on the street last night, with the
evident purpose of assault. William
Hall. a negro 2S years old, was taken
in hand by two citizens at jefferson
street and Perry Lane, and had not the
patrol wagon arrived on the scene
promptly the negro would probably
have received rough treatment at the
hands of the crowd which quickly gath
cred.
Mrs. Powell lives at No. 23S Jefferson
street, with her husband. Police Ser
walking along Jefferson street on her
way home after making a visit. When
she was near Perry Lane the negro de-
liberately walked up to her and taking
hold of her arm began talking to her.
Mrs. Powell was so badly frightened
that she came near fainting. The street
was dark and nobody was in sight. She
screamed for help at the top of her
lungs. and f. E. Neidlinger and
A. l.. Christian, both of whom live at
No. 315 Tattnall street, heard her cries
and quickly ran to her assistance. The
men ran across the street and pulled
the negro roughly away from her.
Hall then tried TO get away, but the
two men held him with none too gem
tie hands. Mrs. Powell was escorted
to her home in a very nervous con-
dition and Sergeant Powell, in COM
pany with Neidlinger and Christian,
took the negro to the corner of JEFF
ferson street and Perry lane, where
they rang for the patrol wagon.
A large crowd had gathered by this
time, and they hooted and jeered at
the negro. He was threatened several
times and only the prompt arrival OF
the police patrol saved him.
The negro was taken to the station
house and locked up where a charge
of assault was made against him, both
Christian and Neidlinger giving their
names as witnesses.
When Halls arrest was heard of his
father and several of his friends went
to the police station to bail him out.
Sergeant Baughn was behind the desk
and he refused to take bail for the
negro and stated that he would not do
so except under the instructions of
Chief of Police Reilly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell left last night
for. Columbus to attend the wedding of
a friend and will not be in the city
this morning to appear against the ne
gro. He will probably not be ar
raigned before Recorder Myrick until
tomorrow morning.
Several of Halls friends who called
at the station house said that the ne
gro was not responsible for his acts as
he had been weak minded since his
childhood
