ASHES DELAY CITY
Baltimore Fire Swept District
Slow In Rebuilding


''The fire. portion of Baltimore is
not being rebuilt very rapidly said ii.
E. Seidel, Baltimore man who is visit
ing his brother, Emory p, Seidel, an artist
with a ST. Paul engraving company
Crude petroleum is being used to
sprinkle the debris in the burnt district,
for the flying dust is so thick that it is
almost impossible on windy days to do any
work in the district. The air is so filled
with the flying ashes and dust from the
powdered bricks and stone that merchants
will not re-establish themselves in bus
mess in the district. Their goods would
be ruined.
"The insurance companies have ADJUST
ed the losses on most of the business
properties destroyed in the great fire, but
as the city authorities desire to widen the
streets in the burned district litigation has
arisen between the city and many of the
property owners as to the value of land
taken under condemnation proceed
ings. This has served to postpone the
building of the large area denuded of it's
buildings by the fire, and the result is
that the city is slow in recovering from
the disaster Many firms in view of the
unlocked for conditions will re-establsh
themselves in other parts of the city.

PAINS SHOW WILL
CROWD FAIR NIGHTS
Destruction of ST. Pierre to Succeed
Last Days of Pompeii


In the awful catastrophes of Pompeii
and ST. Pierre, where two of the
worlds fairest cities and their people
were wiped out of existence by treach
erous volcanoes, history has repeated
itself. Although one of these tragedies
occurred two thousand years ago, and
the other is still fresh in the minds of
even the children of today, there is
marvellous similarity in the impending
conditions preceding each disaster and
in their terrible results.
Pain, the famous New York and Lon
don pyrotechnist, who for twenty-five
years or more has kept Last Days of
Pompeii' before the amusement public
of three continents as the greatest open
air spectacle those countries have ever
seen, has now seized upon the Mount Pc
lee disaster as a striking subject for
his latest spectacular and pyrotechnic
display, and the Destruction of st.
Pierre" is the result. In some respects,
the latest Pain spectacle is the most
marvellous and realistic" of the long
list of productions made by this man
ager.
THE Destruction of st. Pierre" and
the usual brilliant display of fireworks,
will be seen at the state fair this year,
being brought here directly from Bos
ton, where it was originally produced
and ran for several months to a tre-
mendouS business.

STREET CAR COMPANY
WILL PROTECT FIREMEN
Board Is Notified That Electric Switches
VIII Be Installed

The street railway company notified the
board of fire commissioners last evening
that it would put in the cut-outs and
switches demanded by the department to
lessen the danger from electric currents.
and that it would also concede the re-
sponsibility of the company for the de-
struction of hose that has been or may be
run over.
Supt. Burdick appeared before the board
and submitted a plat showing the location
Of the cut-outs and switches, and ex-
planned the system on which they would
work, making it possible to shut off the
street railway current In given district
in the least possible time. The suggested
plat was adopted by the hoard as satis-
factory, and Mr. Burdick said the work
would be pushed. The company is to
submit the switches to the electrical in
spector of the department for test, and a
report is to be made TO the board before
they are put in use,
The company comedies that it is respon-
Sible for the cutting of a line of hose on
Rice street some months ago, concerning
which the board had given notice-that il
would sue if settlement was not made.
The company endeavored to establish the
rule that it is necessary for the fire, de-
partment to place danger signals at
points where fire hose cross street. but
| this was not agreed to by the board with
| the result that it established the prece-
dent desired.
Commissioner Schweizer was authorized
to take charge of the ordinance now be-
fore the city council requiring the street
| railway company to make stops at a num-
| Der of street crossings and imposing q
penalty for failure to 90 so. He was au-
thorized to call upon other members OF
the board to appear with him before the
assembly committee on streets. where the
measure is under consideration.

PLAN TO AID dunn
BY NATIONAL TICKET
Minnesota Republicans vii
Work Old Game but Not
Unopposed

A huge banner, to be hung across
Robert street from the Manhattan
building, where is located the head
quarters of the Republican state cen
tral committee. will bear large por-
traits of Roosevelt and Dunn. The
banner is significant of the plan of
the Republican committee for Mime
sofa for the campaign of r. c. Dunn
for governor.
Roosevelt's alleged popularity in
Minnesota will be played upon by the
Dunn committee for all it is worth. 1t
is expected to make the state cam
paign along national lines, and to di-
vert the public mind from the real is
sues involved.
From sources high in the councils of
the Republican organization in Mime
sofa it is learned that the purpose OF
the Hamlin- Verify committee is to ig-
more, as far as possible, the issues
raised in state matters, and to sound
the tocsin of standing by Roosevelt ,,
This cry is credited with saving two
or three congressman for the Republic
an organization in Minnesota two years
ago. Republican managers insist that
Roosevelt is as strong with Minnesota
campaign of 1902, and are preparing to
play the same game in the interest Of
Dunn and his associates>on the Repub-
lican state ticket.
Dodge Real Issues
Public Examiner Johnson's reports,
in which the record of Dunn as state
auditor is severely criticised, the
methods employed in securing his NOM
ination, the unseating of the big Hen
nepin county delegation and the ac-
cusations by half the Republican press
of the state prior to the ST. Paul con-
vention-these will all be ignored un-
less Democrats force the issue and
make the Republicans talk real state
politics. The programme is to "WhOop
'er up" for Roosevelt in every hamlet
in the state and trust to partisan pa
triotism to carry Dunn and his running
mate, Ray F. Jones, of Minneapolis.
through to victory
The same game was played before,
and played successfully, for D. M.
Clough. another unpopular candidate.
In that campaign Clough was practi-
cally ignored, and McKinley's strength
with the voters of the state carried
him into office over as strong a man
as John Lind. r. c. Dunn has always
been credited with being the man be-
hind the gun in that campaign.
The appearance today of big ban
ner linking the political fortunes of
Roosevelt and Dunn substantiates the
report that has been in circulation for
some days of the plan to run Dunn on
Roosevelt's supposed popularity.
Democrats to Oppose
Democrats will scarcely permit this
programme to be carried out without
interruption, and are expected to make
the state campaign on state issues. The
nomination of John A. Johnson, of st.
Peter, which now seems to be fore
gone conclusion, will. give them cam
paign speaker who will not hesitate to
apply the CAD. Johnson has a fund, of
humorous ridicule at his command that
is counted on to make the Republican
state managers come back to earth
and talk of things that are issues in the
state.

RECONSIDER PAVING
Plan for Fort Street Improve.
ment to Be Acted Upon

If the board of public works can
bring it about, the final order for paw
ing Fort street will be recalled from
the committee on streets at the meet
ing of the assembly this evening and
passed, 1t being urged that the i'm
provement is an immediate necessity
"The street cannot be used by the
fire department in its present condition,
with the result that runs of the firemen
are delayed from five to ten minutes" :"
said Peter Van Hoven, a member of the
board of public works Going in the
direction of Seven corners the depart
ment finds it necessary to run on Ninth
to Exchange street and then on Ex-
change to all points west of Engine
House No. /. To all points east the
department finds it necessary to go by
way of Ninth street to ST. Peter. There
is a distinct loss of time in going in
these roundabout ways. In attempting
to make runs on Fort street firemen
have been thrown from their seats. I
cannot see why few objectors should
be allowed to delay an Improvement
that is so necessary"
AT Mondays meeting of the commit
tee further consideration of the order
for paving was postponed to the first
Monday in October, but the assembly
has the power to recall the order from
the committee and act upon it.

Cardinal Satolli and the local newspapers

archbishop: "Seldom has any act Of mine

NEW HOSE PURCHASED
BY FIRE DEPARTMENT
Commissioners Accept Bid of ST. Paul
Rubber Company

The board of fire commissioners last
evening opened bids for fire hose and
purchased 1000 feet from the ST. Paul
Rubber company at $1.10 a foot. An
offer was received from Ribinson &
Cary to furnish hose at the same fig
ure, but the commissioners preferred
the brand offered by the successful
bidder.
The question of repairing or having
Engine No. rebuilt was referred to
Chief Jackson with instructions to se-
cure bids for the work. 1t Was de-
cided to put in a new boiler if the work
can be contracted for at a reasonable
figure.
Commissioner Kelly desired that. the
board decline to charge the state fair
management for fire service, but set
tlement of this question was deferred
until a future meeting. Chief Jack
son was instructed to prepare to rem
der the service as soon as it has been
officially requested, being told to fur
nish an engine and full complement of
men.

BEMIDU JUDGE RULES
IN SUIT OVER GAME
Railroad Loses in Case That May AZ
feet Many Hunters

The state game and fish commission
has been advised of decision by Judge
Spooner, of Bemidji, which is regarded
as a severe blow to the work OF the
commission in preventing big game be-
ing shipped Sto market.
The case was brought by Robert
Schneider, of Northome, against the
Northern Pacific Railway company
Schneider sought by nlandamus to
compel the railroad company to carry
certain deer heads from Northome to
Bemidji. The railroad company re-
fused on the ground that Schneider
did not have a license to shoot big
game and that the heads were not
tagged by the game and fish commits
sion, as required by statute.
S. F. Fullerton, executive agent OF
the game and fish commission, said
yesterday that if left in its present
condition, the effect of the decision
would be to destroy the law protecting
big game from unlicensed hunters. and
that the commission would cause an
appeal to be staken to the supreme
court.

IS nothing short of marvellous. and il
takes years of training TO acquire the

For instance, a man will come in and
