cries attracting great attention and
he himself being called upon to ad-
dress the American Society of Engi-
neers, an honor never before con-
ferred upon an officer of the navy.
This task occupied his time for
more than a year but upon the COM
pletion of the battleship Maine,
probably the finest ship in the new
navy, he was assigned to her in the
very important capacity of ordin-
ance officer. He superintended the
placing of her armament and only

LIEUT.. BEECHER KILLED.
Fall From Turret on the Maine Through
Hatchway 40 Feet.

Lieutenant Albert Morrison
Beecher, United States Navy, a
brother of Henry Lee Beecher,
station agent at New Ulm, and OF
Mrs. Charles T. Howard of this
city, was killed off Newport News
about one clock on Tuesday after
noon of last week.
A telegram from Newport News
that afternoon stated that the big
battleship Maine came tearing into
port late that afternoon with her
ensign at half-mast, dropping anch-
or back of the torpedo station.
Many who saw the battleship com
ing in at such rate of speed were
at loss to know the reason, but
the naval station had been notified
by wireless in advance that an acct
dent had happened on board the
vessel aud that the ship was hasten
ing to Newport with the remains of
Lieut.. Albert M. Beecher, who met
death through an accident on board
early in the afternoon.
The Maine, which is under the
command of Capt. E. H. c. Leiutze,
was off Gay head preparing for tar
get practice at Mememsha Blight,
and Lieut.. Beecher, the ordinance
officer of the ship, was in the for
ward turret inspecting the twelve
inch guns and the mechanism of the
turret to see that everything was in
working order for the practice.
While engaged in this work Lieut..
Beecher lost his balance and fell
headlong down the batch to the
handling room, forty feet below,
striking his head against the steel
flooring. The alarm was given and
men FASTENED below and picked
Lieut.. Beecher up in an unconscious
condition, and he was hastily taken
to the sickroom. The accident hap
pened at about o'clock, and Medi-
cal Inspector Drake and his staff on
the ship at once set to work to rem
der what assistance was possible,
but it was found that he had frac-
turco LIS ard &c died at

! O'Clock without regaining conscious
ness.
AS soon as the Maine arrived
word was sent to Lieut.. Beecher' S
brother, Paymaster Beecher, on
board the training ship Monongahe-
la, and his relatives.
Mrs. Howard left for New Ulm
the next morning to be with her
mother, who was completely pros
trated by the news, while H. L.
Beecher left for Newport News,
and two days later he, with his
brother, Lieut.. James Beecher, left
with the body for Fort Dodge, Iowa.
On the way west they were joined
by Sherburne SAM born and other
relatives, while the members of the
family at New Ulm, left for Fort
Dodge, where the funeral was he'd
Saturday, the remains being laid to
rest in the family plot at that place,
alongside of the father and sister.
Before the remains left Newport
News a military funeral was held.
Lieutenant A. M. Beecher was
born at Fort Dodge, Ia, Feb. Z,
1868, and graduated from the Ann
apolis naval academy in 1884. He
was at once assigned to active duty
in the United States navy and has
devoted his life to the work. His
rise was that of a conscientious
toiler and he earned his way from
an ensign to the rank he held at the
time of his death, one of the highest
in his grade and which would have
entitled him to promotion within a
few months, says the New Ulm Re
view.
In his long service with the sea-
fighting forces of his country Lieut..
Beecher had visited all parts of the
world and everywhere be gained
the confidence of his superior Off
GERS by his competency in the dis
charge of his duties. Much against
his will he was compelled to remain
in Washington on shore duty dur
ing the Spanish-American war but
after the close of that brief conflict
an opportunity was afforded him to
distinguish himself in the fields of
science. When the naval depart
ment took up the experiment with

SMITH RELEASED
Gives Bowers & Howard Security
for $1,000 and is Re1eas-
ed from Jail.
Fear of Indictment for Perjury
Caused Him to Settle the
Case.

John G.. Smith, against whom a
Redwood county returned a verdict
of 50, 900 for alternating the affections
of Mrs. Fred. Hauert, and who has
languished in Jail for over three
months for refusing to obey an or
der of the court commanding him to
pay over to Bowers & Howard, at
torneys for Hauert, $1,000, the
amount of the compromise iudg-
ment, was released from the county
jail last Thursday morning.
Smith S confinement was the cause
of a softening up of his constitution,
and his hands were as soft as velvet
when he was released.
The cause of Smith relenting was
the fear of an Indictment for per-
jury being returned against him
that day by the grand jury. 1t is
reported that the evidence was al
ready, and that when Smith was
confronted with it, he stated that he
had no objections to remaining in
Jail, but that he didn't want 90 to
the pen, and pleaded for knowledge
of ways and means to bring about a
settlement.
Mr.. Howard, who has had charge
of the case from the start, was sent
for, and agreed to still further re-
duce the verdict from $4,000 to
1000, providing the case was set
tied then, and Smith agreed to the
terms, he being given so days with
in which to raise the money, and as
a guarantee of good faith he gave
the attorneys mortgage on his
homestead in Vail township.

Mr.. Stone of Lisbon. North DakO-

Mr.. Stone of Lisbon, North Dako-
ia, brother-in- law of Mr.. Smith,
was the man who set the latter into
thinking of the right way out. 1t ap-
pears that after Smith negotiated
the loan of W. H. Gold for $4,000,
last year, for the purpose OF paying
the then settled judgment, and
which money he refused to turn ov-
er to Mr.. Howard, he caused the
same to be invested in equities in
real estate in and around Lisbon,
through Mr.. Stone, the latter not
then knowing of Smiths entangle-
ment here. In some way Mr.. How
ard became acquainted with this
fact after Smith had been on supple
mentary proceedings several times,
and finally got into touch with Mr..
Stone, who being appraised of all the
facts, consented to come to Redwood
Fails and urge Smith to obey the
mandate of the court, and in case of
his refusal, Mr.. Stone was to show
where Smith testified falsely on
supplementary proceedings. Smith
complied with Mr.. Stones request.
Smith was placed in jail for con-
tempt of court the latter part of Ju-
ly or the first Of August, he being
taken out of the harvest field to
commence his service. He retained
b. b. Harriott to appeal to the SUI
preme court for his release. The
case was set for hearing by that
court some time next month. after
Smith had gone to heavy expense in
having paper book and brief
printed, and retaining Somerville1
u Olsen to assist Mr.. Harriott. All
further proceedings are now likely
to be dropped.

is earnestly hoped that it will be acted upon favora ply. Moreover. our experience shows that outsiders claiming political influence some times sell their influence to candidates fer office. or in other words. black mail these candidates. There should bN legislation which will permit of sum mary dealing with such offenders.
 However. the prime need is not rev legislation but the punishment of those who offend against existing laws. The postoffice department is making certain changes in the meth ods of administration, not&bly in the method of inspection, by which the service will be improved and the chance of corruption existing without discovery be minimized; but the only way to meet the real evil is to pun ish the offenders, by removal m any event, and where possible by prose cution under the criminal statutes. ID any great business, public or private. wrongdoing is certain at times to cur The way to guard against it Is vigorously to scrutiniZe the character of these appointed, careful to super = wise their actions after appointment. and finally, to punish with relentless severity those who go wrong. All this is being done.
 The immediate reformation of the service by the turning cut of the Cf- lenders is not in itself enough to meet the demands of justice. The cases against both those within and those without the postoflice department. who by their acts have brought themselves within the grasp of the law, will be pushed with the utmost vigor Every effort must be made to see that both the delinquent official and the outsider who shares his guilt are punished to the limit of the law. In pursuance of this policy the indi- viduals above enumerated have beer indicted. In no case has the indict, ment been sought save where the CI- ficials of the government were con vinced of the mans guilt; and every case the government will exhaust ev- cry eXpedient in it's power in the ef- fort to see that justice is metrI out to the offenders. Those in the public service whose duty is is must ever be vigilant in the detection of wrongdo- ing. fearless in it's exposure, relent- less in it's prosecution; but in the last resort, when everything which the public official, whether legislator judge, or executive officer can do has been GCne. it remains for the S-jry, drawn from the people and repiesent- ing the people to do even handed jus tice, shielding the innocent, but de- clining to be misled by any plea ir refraiaing from punishment of the guilty.
