DIST NGUISHED WYER
AND PROMINENT MA
son DIES FROM
APOPLE\G.

Judge j. Soule Smith. one of the
most prominent lawyers of the
Lexington bar, and one of the
brightest and best informed Ma
sons in Kentucky, was stricken
with apopleXy, on Monday morn
ing, while in the flower garden of
his residence in Lexington and
died instantly.
Judge Smith was self-made
man, having started in life without
"a dollar at the conclusion of the
civil (war in which he enlisted as
II Confederate soldier when only
ID years of age.D
He had served as City \ Attorney
Of Lexington, County Attorney of
Fayette county, Recorder OF the
City Court, City Councilman and
City Assessor.
The matter of his dearest love
and warmest devotion, however,
was the Masonic Fraternity. His
fund of information in this regard
was simply marvellous and his
magnificent memory was stored
with the lore of that grand order.
He had filled some of the highest
offices in the order with rare dis
tinction, honor and profit to the
fraternity.
The funeral obsequies were held
in Lexington on Wednesday last,
and the large attendance testified
to the high esteem in which our
brother and friend was held in the
city of his adoption.

MONDAY EVENINGS STORM.
Lightning Plays It's Franks In Sew
eral Directions, Though No
Serious Loss Occurs.

On Monday evening, about $3.50
o'clock, n fierce storm of wind and
rain, accompanied by heavy thun-
der and lightning visited this city
and vicinity.
The residence of Col. f. H. Tay-
lor, jr., just outside the city limits,
was struck by lightning and the
cupelo badly damaged and the
family considerably shocked and
shaken up.
The smoke-house attached to the
residence of Capt. John r. Spiers
on Campbell street, was visited by
the electric fluid and a considera-
BILE slice torn out, but, strange to
say, the building was not burned.
Mrs. q. G. Mutzenburgh, who
lives close by Capt. Spiers, was at
work in her kitchen at the time,
and was Knocked down by the cur
rent and badly stunned, feeling the
effects of the stroke for some hours
afterwards.
The telephone wires were struck
several times and three or four loud
reports proceeded from the East
Tennessee Co.. IS Office, on Main
street, many people being lead to
believe that tiIe Office had been
damaged.
The water poured down in sheets,
so that the sewers, on Clinton
street, were choked, and the street,
from Lewis street west to the river,
was lake of water, from six in
ches to two feet in depth.
The weather, which had been
close and sultIy, became much
cooler and more pleasant rendering
sleep that night delightful.
1t is miraculous that no serious
damage was done.

DR.. Boyle Fails to Attack Clty's
Sunday Vices


The expected exposure of local condi-
tions of vice failed to materialize at the
House of Hope Presbyterian church last
night. DR.. w. III. w. Boyle. pastor OF
the church, instead of attacking Sunday
theaters and ether iamusements, contented
himself with an evenings advice to young
men. warning them against living in a
manner which would take their minds
away from the serious phases of life, and
allow them to rest upon the ways of the
world. e g..
The problems Of life from boyhood to
manhood were discussed in a general way,
and numerous examples cited where great
ness had been achieved through strict at
tention to the line of work chosen for a
life study
Glitch Your, Wagon to Star" was
the theme upon which the pastor based
his sermon The fact that James A. Gar
field had lear6edsto look upon life as a
serious subject through first hitching his
attention to a. mule on canal tew path
was dwelt upon to considerable length
and Garfield used as one of the stellar
Instances where success can be achieved
through high ideals.

CONVICT ASKS BOARD
TO REWARD ! SILENCE
Petition for l:, Communication of
Sentence Brings Strange
Story to Light

Among the petitions to DE considered by
the board of pardons at its meeting this
morning is that of Edwin T. Blew, Of
Minneapolis, who in October, 1902, was
sentenced to seven years and six months
IN the state prison. Blew asks that his
sentence be committed. Blew's case is
unique in the criminal history of Mime
sofa. So far as known he is the only per-
son who by assuming the guilt of another
may reap a reward.
Blew and T. F. Armstrong We're part
ners in the grain commission business
in Minneapolis. In order TO obtain money
with which to speculate they forged bills
of lading which they deposited at vari-
-ous banks as collateral. After losing be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 the banks grew
suspicious, and Blew and Armstrong adj
mitted their guilt.
+ Blew was the first to be sentenced.
Later Armstrong was brought before
the court. He made strong plea for
mercy. saying that until more than half
the money had been lost he had known
nothing whatever of the forgeries. that
he had eountenanced them only In the
hope that the money could be returned
and that Blew alone was the responsible
party SO convincing was his plea that
Judge Brooks let him off with a four year
sentence. Blew made no protest
+ 1t now transpires that Armstrong was
familiar with the scheme from the first.
The two men We're equally guilty. Judge
Brooks is convinced of this and has rec
commended that Blew's sentence be COM
muted to four years in order that one may
not be more severely punished than the
other.
Had Blew uttered protest at the time
Armstrong was, sentenced it is probab BILE
that the latter would also have been given
seven years.

FORMER MAYOR
is PUT ON TRIAL
Dr.. A. A. Ames Must Make
Another Appearance Before
Trial Court

DR.. A. A. An1es, the four-time MAYOR Of
Minneapolis, will be placed on trial today
ON the charge of accepting money from
women engaged in unlawful occupations
in return for police protection.
Judge w. A. Kerr has been appointed
special assistant county attorney for the
purpose of trying the case He will not
have the assistance of any other attorney.
E. S. Cary, of st. Paul, will represent DIR.
Ames.
Judge Kerr has not decided what case
will be moved for trial, but he will an
nounee his decision this morning The
last case tried resulted in a mistrial and
Judge Kerr said last night he had not de-
cided whether he would ask for retrial
of this case or would select another of the
same nature.
The order appointing Judge Kerr as
special attorney directs him to take
charge of all proceedings before the grand
jury in which the former mayor may be
involved, and at his request the grand
jury was instructed to meet today.
There is an intimation that during the
trial some matters may develop which
will require the attention of the jury.
1t is possible that Fred Ames, now serv-
ing a term in the penitentiary, and who
has applied for a pardon may be brought
to Minneapolis as witness against his
brother for, some time ago. when for
mer application for pardon was made, it
was intimated that he was in possession
of evidence which would be of value to
the state, and should he give valuable
testimony it is believed the pardon board
would not overlook the fact.
Former Capt. Charles r. Hill is in a
position to testify against the former
mayor. He is under Indictment. but in
order to protect himself may see hit to
tell what he knows about the corruption
which obtained not many years ago.
The case promises to be hard fought
one, but lawyers agree that it will take
longer to secure a jury than it will to try
the case.

JIMMY IS MISSING
Fred SChiffmannIoses His Dog
of Cartoon Fame

Jimmy" the dog that made Fred
Schiffmann famous is again brought be-
fore the gaze of the unfeeling public. this
time in the role of The Lost Doc.
In the first place let it be explained that
the dog and Mr.. Schiffmann are sworn
friends and allies. This argues discretion
on the part of the dog, for even canine
must look upon what side his biscuit is
buttered and pay allegiance to that side.
But now Jimmy is lost, strayed OF
stolen and Fred Schiffmann is sorrowing in
saclxcloth and ashes, the latter being the
remains of questionable cigars.
Saturday afternoon Fred and Jimmy
wandered into Pete Miesen's cafe. Fred
was leading Jimmy with a piece of string.
George Ward and Charley Dewitt were
looking at the ceiling through the bottom
Fred and Jimmy until Fred had started to
decorate the mahogany.
Mighty fine pup that of yours, Fred,
said Mr.. Dewitt.
II observe you are a person OF rare dis

Want to Seli-hiul?' said Mr.. Dewitt.
Don't think you have the price suffi-
cient to negotiate a purchase OF this ca

reply. Mr. Dewitt was upon his dignity

notice that the agile Mr.. MieSen had cut

of liver being the bait. He did notice
