"Politicians Versus the People
Thirteen members of the city council have
undertaken to tie the hands of the Atlanta
people.
Elected as representatives of the commun-

They have mulishly opposed their selfish
political prejudices to the publlcs right of

There was introduced in council yesterday
a resolution requesting that body to aid in
submitting the commission form of charter to
a popular vote. Council was not asked to
1ndorse the plan proposed. On the contrary,
it was explicitly declared
''That in adopting the resolution,
neither the mayor and general coun-
Gil of the city Of Atlanta as an official

either as favoring or objecting to the

FIRST AVENUE NORTH WILL Be
LET MONDAY NIGHT AND WORK
WILL BE STARTED UPON Ut IN
A FEW DAYS.

north will probably be started in less
than two weeks.
Monday eevning there will be a city
council meeting at which time bids
vii! be received Tor the contract and it
is expected that the contract will be

time there has been about half dozen
different firms that have signified their
intention Of submitting bids and the
competition for the jobs will be very
keen.
At the same time the contract will
be let for the paving Of number of
alleys In the down town district. The
plans and specifications for the paw
Ing Of the alleys were drawn by City
Engineer Anders In conjunction with
those Tor First avenue and 1t is
planned to have the work all done at
the same time.
BY letting the contract for the al

ately. The work on the Jobs will be
started ten days after the signing OF

OF the proposals.
The excavation work on First ave.

SOMETHING new
in CIRCUS line
sELLs-FLoTo SHOWS GET FINE
NOTICE FROM SEATTLE STAR
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE.
TURNED AWAY FROM THE
TENTS IN COAST CITY.

Speaking Of the visit Of the Sells
Floto shows to Seattle. The Star had
this to say:
There are three vital defects in the
Sells Floto circus. In the first place,
you pay only 20 cents to see it; in the
second place. the employees are all
CIVIL even courteous: and thirdly
there is no grating in the show.
Whoever heard of a civil ticket
seller in circus? Whoever conceived
of a circus without pickpockets and
grafters? And, finally, who ever ex-
pected to see real big tent show for
rs cents?
Surely. Mr.. Tammen, one of the
owners Of the show, is ignoring GUS
tom. Perhaps the public is pleased
with the policy. 1t would seem so, as
1000 people were turned away from
the big tent last night If you arrived
after O'Clock you didn't see the In
side Of the main tent The disap-
pointed ones, instead of returning
home, found solace In the sideshows
"Of course. it was the same old
time sideshow, but you saw it all for a
dime Two or three thousand people
were turned away In the afternoon as
we'll.
THE show itself is not quite as ex-
tensive as some which Seattle has
seen; but that is an attraction in it
self; you can see 1t all. When 1t comes
to paying so cents to go to the old
time eight-ring circus or 25 cents to
Sells-Floto, lot of fellows will choose
the latter.
THE equestrian acts are better than
any circus ever brought to Seattle.
The clowns are good, with several
brand new 'acts. The famous Nelson
family, who know no peers in aero
baltic work and the Borsines, with
their rolling globe, are top-liners in
the tent work. None of the eighteen
big acts is unworthy the largest show
in the country"
The Sells-Floto shows come to Far
go on Monday. July 81.
The popular price remains the same
and the show itself has been enlarged
to almost double the size of former
years.

COMMISSIONS BY
SEVEN governors
CAPTAIN IN CHARGE OF THE
NORTH DAKOTA RIFLE TEAM
AT CAMP HAS UNIQUE HISTORY
SAYS THE DEVILS LAKE JOUR-
NAL.


Probably no officer in the national
guard has more interesting history
than Capt. E. G. Gearey, who with
the North Dakota rife team is camped
at Rock Island Military reservation
practicing for the coming national
matches at Camp Perry, says The
Devils Lake Journal of Thursday.
Captain Gearey, who is team coach
and in command OF the squad enlist
ed as a private and has held every
grade to a brigadier general. He at
tended his first camp at WATERFOWL
S. D., when Dakota was territory
Subsequently served as corporal, serg-
cant, first sergeant, second lieutenant
first lieutenant: which latter position
he held, serving with Co. B, First
North Dakota infantry when the late
war occurred. He was mustered in as.
first lieutenant of Co. b., and imme-
diately appointed acting regimental
ordnance officer by Colonel Treumann
and served in that capacity until he
had Strengthened out the ordnance
equipment of the regiment, and was
appointed regimental adjutant, which
position he occupied crossing the Pa
cific at the siege and capture of Man
lila and until Dec. Is, 1898, when he
was commissioned captain of Co. B.,
and commanded that company through
it's arduous and creditable campaign
in the Philippine insurrection.
Shortly after returning to the Unit
ed States and being mustered out with
the volunteers he resigned and retired
but could not resist the call Of the
bugle when Governor White offered
the position Of assistant engineer and
ordnance with the rank of major and
again entered the service with such
commission. After serving in that ca
pacity for four years he was promoted
to the position of chief engineer and
ordnance officer with the rank OF colo
mel by Governor Sarles. AS STAFF duty
separated him from the old First in
fantry he applied for discharge after
twenty years of service in the guard
and was retired and breveted briga-
der general under the provision of the
military code.
Again he succumbed to the seduc-
tive charm of military service and ac-
cepted the rank of first lieutenant in
Co. b.. to which position he was elect
ed by the enlisted men Of the COM
pany, and commissioned by Governor
Burke. After ten months service In
that capacity he was promoted to the
rank of captain and assigned to duty
on the regimental staff as inspector OF
small arms practice.
He has been member or officer OF
every rifle team representing the state
of North Dakota in the national mat
ches having won position on the first
team In 1907 in competition, was APP
pointed team captain in 1908; team
coach in 1909. 1910 and again named
as team coach for 1911
He has in his den. adjoining the
walls warrants or commissions from
Governors Snortridge, Ellen, Briggs
Fanchers White, Sarles and Burke, ar
ranged With insignia OF rank from cor.
poral to general.

CASHIER WAIVED
AN EXAMINATION
GREAT NORTHERN ASSAULT
CASE GOES TO HIGHER COURT.
AFTER PRELIMINARY HEARING
in JUSTICE COURT THIS MORN
lNo--PAY CHECK Is CAUSE.

At the preliminary hearing this
morning in justice court OF the assault
and battery case brought by Joseph
Schmidt against the local cashier Of
the Great Northern railroad, the de-
PENDANT waived examination and the
case was sent to the district court.
The complaining witness. Joseph
Schmidt, is foreigner who has not
been long in this country and knows
little Of the English language and
customs. He had been in the employ
OF the Great Northern railroad for
about two weeks and was let out last
Saturday.
The plaintiff claims that he went
four days in succession to the cashiers
office for his money, each time pre-
senting his claim check, and was re-
fused his money on each occasion.
Every time he went he said he was
told to come the next day, as the
Office could not pay him at that time
or until his check had been certified
and approved in the Office Of the au-
ditor
Thursday morning when Schmidt
went to the window TO draw his money,
ne says .Ac Was tOIu the SditlS lining,
and that he endeavored to tell the
cashier and his assistants that he was
badly In need of money as he had had
nothing to eat since the preceding Sat-
urday. 1t was probable that he was
unable to make himself understood,
for the defendant maintains that
Schmidt created great deal Of dis
turbance in the Office, making himself
a public nuisance and preventing them
from transacting business while he
was there.
The plaintiff further claims that the
defendant took an iron club and not
only drove him from the office but hit
him over the head number Of times
after Schmidt had retreated from the
building. He further AYERS that he fell
in the freight yards, where he was left
until the police department was noti-
fed of his whereabouts.
A warrant was made out against
the Great Northern cashier after the
man was brought down to the city de-
tention house. and M w. Murphy ,of
the law firm of Turner & Murphy was
retained to appear for him this morn
ing in justice court.

my examination Of the inside and out
side of the premises yielded no IN
formation calculated to throw q new
light on the mystery. I questioned

caretaker. He was willing enough to
discuss the tragedy but ] derived no
particular benefit from his converse
ton. also interviewed the servant,
old Peggy. and the man Kitchen, but
learned nothing more than had been
made public by their testimony at the
trial
Having discovered nothing, I re-
turned TO the city to be met with the
information that a burglary had been

money had been removed from my con-

removed and the catch slipped back
