Death Of MIS-: )lIIe oliver Smith.

The Angel Of death never
i brought more sorrow into home
and the hearts of loved ones than
did the dark-winged messenger
THAT babe the tide of mortal life
TO cease for sweet ollie Oliver
on last Friday night. In the full
bloom of splendid womanhood,
and with the joys of motherhood
just browning her bridal days,
her fair hands reached yet beyond
and clasped a glorious immortal
ity and the crown of life eternal.
And who shall say she hath not
chosen the better partg
Miss Ollie, " as Brookhayen
friends loved to call her, was the
beloved daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs.. Sam P. Oliver, and was
gifted with rare graces of mind
and attractiveness Of person. She
graduated at the public school of
this city, always being, among
those who led in her classes,
Because of her gentle, kindly
ways and Generous, loving heart,
she was exceedingly popular with
her associates and those who
knew her best. After her grad
uation she became the able assist
ant of her father, who for years
has been the Circuit Clerk of
this county, and performed her
duties in the most acceptable man
ner. 1t was at her place of
business, the county's courthouse,
that she met the gentleman, Mr..
Ben 2. Smith, who also occupied
official position in the county's
affairs, to whom she was married
last June. Bright aad beautiful was
their married life, and dark and
deep is the sorrow of the lonely
heart left to mourn his beloved.
On Saturday evening the funer-
al service was held at the resi-
dence; Rev. r. III. Purser, who
had pronounced the marriage
rites, officiating on the funeral
occasion, assisted by Rev. c. W..

community was manifested in a
large attendance and numerous
beautiful floral offerings.

CITY CLERK IS TOLD
NOT TO ISSUE LICENSE

A resolution introduced by Assembly,
man Schurmeier last evening was
passed in which the city clerk is or
dered to refuse a saloon license to c..
F. Frerch at 441-443 Cedar street This
license was granted by the council
been paid for and taken out.
The resolution is peremptory, re-
pealing the former action of the city
council, but City Clerk Redington OPEN
Ay expressed the opinion that If the IN
cense is demanded today before the
board of aldermen acts he doubts his
authority to obey the demands of the
assembly.
Schurmeier asserted that when the
license was granted it was not known
that the applicant was q brother in
law of J. c. Sodini.
''This man Sodini," said Schurmeier,
has been driven out of Minneapolis.
Paul. This Is the same Sodini that
The ST. Paul G 10 b e says tried to
go into partnership with"
AsSemblyman Wheeler argued that
as the license was granted nine months
ago and had not been taken out, he
thought it should be refused and
Frerch compelled to make a new APP
plication.
Corporation Attorney Michael gave
the opinion that if the license is taken
out at this time the applicant must
pay $1,000 and that the license will
| expire at the end of a year from the
| time it was granted by the council.
City Clerk Redington said that 1t
had been the practice heretofore to
| give licenses from the time they are
| paid for, the delay in taking out the
permit under discussion having been
| caused by the failure to complete the
building on time.
But Frerch came in here and fooled
u.s." persisted Schurmeier. HE made
affidavit that a saloon had previously
been conducted at the numbers given,
when as matter Of fact the construc-
ton of the building had not begun"
The roll call showed the seven men,
| bers voting in favor of the resolution
notwithstanding the protest of the city
clerk that the responsibility for the
| refusal was being put on him.

The plaintiffs claim that Mr.. Block
not only entered into an agreement
with them to close the deal for the
land whereby the company he was act
Ing for was to pay much more for the
land that it could really have been
purchased for, but that he failed to
keep his contract and made the deal
himself The suit is brought to recover
what the plaintiffs consider their right
full commission from the sale.
The plaintiffs have in their possess
sion number of letters written by Mr..
Block, which show the part he took in
the sale, and they have also his letter
Of May 10, 1908, in which he says that
it would be impossible for his COM
pany to purchase the land, because the
necessary money could not be raised.
Seven days after this letter was writ
ten, and the contract Cancelled by the
plaintiffs, the deal was contaminated
and the Good Homes Land company,
through Mr.. Block, became possessed of
the land.
The Good Homes Land company has
for stockholders many prominent men
of the state, almost all of the state
house officials being connected with it,
and the disclosure made yesterday Of
Mr.. Blocks methods of dealing for the
company created something of SEN
sation.
A demurrer has been filed to the
complaint, setting forth that 1t does
not contain a sufficient cause for ac-
ton.

RAIN POURS DOWN
Noisy Thunder Storm Visits st.
Paul Early In Evening.

small but able bodied cloud burst
over st. Paul shortly after O'clock
last night, and for a few moments there
was a downpour of rain that kept the
precipitation gauge at the weather sta
ton hustling to record the amount of
water that was falling.
The -rainstorm was accompanied by
vivid lightning to which the thunder
clapped tumultuous applause. While
the electrical disturbance was enough
in the immediate vicinity to unnerve the
t1morous, little damage was done. A
flag pole on a Robert street office
building protruded into the danger
zone and was shattered by bolt.
The pedestrians caught in doorways
opposite the building shut their eyes
and awaited a charred finish, but moth
Ing more serious struck them than
several weather-Worn Splinters that
were scattered on Robert street They
were eagerly snatched up and taken
home as proof of how near the pos
SCISSORS were to death.
The German Lutheran church, Hope
and Margaret streets, was struck, and
section of shingles ripped off the
roof. The bolt continued on into the
ground and the building escaped a
fire.
The down town streets were flooded
above the cutters in short time, as the
volume Of water was too great for the
sewers to carry it off. Passengers
alighting from street cars during the
storm were in a quandary. Miniature
torrents, raging to the best Of their
ability, blocked progress to the shell
tered doOrWays long enough to cause
the unlucky traveller to pause and the
br1efest kind of pause was all that
was required to get drenched.
The advent of the storm was herald
ed by portentous skyscape, made Of
dark masses of formidable looking
clouds, each appearing as if it might
be harboring a tornado or two in it's
sooty interior. AS a matter of fact
the clouds were nothing but wet and
possessed of the best intentions
Before the sky had cleared there was
decided Improvement in the lawns,
where the grass was soon coming up
hand over hand and getting greener
every minute. The buds on the trees
popped out into leaves as the last lin
gering drops fell, so that it hardly
looked like the same old front yard.

James O'Brien's curiosity cost him his
life at 1928 Fourth street northeast, Min

had caught fire from a live wire and his

in contact with an electric wire from
which the insulation had been worn
O'Brien was in George Kajawa' 8 saloon
in Northeast Minneapolis when the fire
broke out and insisted on following the
flremen into the basement to locate the
origin Of the fire, after it had been ex-
tinguished.
Suddenly he was seen to pitch forward,
when he had touched a tin pail in the
basement. He was carried out of the
saloon basement, but life was extinct be-
fore the open air was reached.
