the salaries of officers of the law, who

distrust and uneasiness in business cir

party and solidified it. 1t has brought

Petroleum has tluctuated in price
wonderfully within the past few years.
During the past two years it has been as
low as 40 cents barrel at the well. The
highest price ever paid was between 1868
and 1874, when its average was $500
per barrel. A year ago there was fer
ment of excitement over the "dollar oil, !"
as it was called. Producers stated that
it would ruin the business. and were
favoring the was,age of the oil. Since
1872 petroleum has decreased in price
about $50 per cent, while the amount of
oil stored has decreased over GOO per

Cutting Glass with Scissors.

Many persons may not be aware that
glass can be cut under water, with ease,
to almost any shape, by simply using a.
pair OF shears, or strong scissors. In
order to insure Guccess two points must
be attended to-frst and most import
ant the glass must be kept quite level
in the water while the scissors are ap-
piled, and, secondly, 10 avoid risk, it is
better to begin the cutting by taking off
pieces at the corners along the edges,
and so reduce the shape gradually to
that required, as if any attempt is made
to cut the glass all at once to the shape,
as we would cut piece of cardboard,
it will most likely break just where it is
not wanted.
Some kinds of glass cut much better
than others, the softer glasses being the
best for this purpose. The scissors need
not be at all sharp, as their action does
not appear to depend on the state of
the edge presented to the glass. When
the operation goes on well, the glass
breaks away from the scissors in small
pieces IN straight line with the blades.
This method of cutting glass has often
been of service when diamond has not
been at hand, for cutting ovals and seq
ments, and though the edges are not SO
smooth as might be desired for some
purposes, yet it will answer in great
many cases. The two hints given above,
if strictly followed, will always insure
success.

Captain Griffin must take back seat
on the shark question. The facts are

shark will not attack a person who is in

red the other night where a canoe, in
which were five persons, was capsized
while approaching the plays. One of
these was girl, whom one of the row.
ers caught up, and, being a strong
swimmer, made at once for the beach
with her. Before he had proceeded
many feet he was seized and dragged
under water, releasing his hold on the
girl as he disappeared. A boat coming
Immediately behind rescued the girl,

A NEAT little charcoal sketch appears
in the columns of st. Louis journal.
AS a justice of the peace was sitting in
his office and biting off the end of the
second-cigar, a man covered with char
coal CRIME tumbled over the chair
nearest the door and asked how much
it would cost to be married. The price
was too high. The poor but honest
bridegroom said that he lived in Jeffer-
son county, that he and his intended
had come to the city peddHng charcoal
and wanted to get back as man and
wife. A barrel of charcoal was still on
hand, and this was offered as the mar
riage fee. The kind-hearted justice con-
cluded that it would be a good thing to
make them man and wife, and the bar
rel of charcoal was dumped into the
cellar, according to agreement.

DOC. MIDDLETON'S GANG.
The FreebOOters of the NiObrara,
St. Paul Globe.

OF. raul OlODe.
United States Marshal McLaren re-
turned home yesterday from Omaha, to
which place he had assisted Special
Agent Llewellyn to escort the noted
robbers Nolan and Johnson. Altogeth-
er the marshal declares the journey to
have been an interesting one, due great
y to Nolan's cOmmunicativeness. He
was very free to talk about his career,
but when the point confessing guilt of
any crime laid to his charge was reach
ed, he was discreetly silent. From the
marshaPs account Nolan is man of
parts, and has traits of character that
both command respect and admiration.
Nolan gave quite an extended account
of his connection with the Doc. Middle
ton gang of horse-thieves, which sounds
like romance in the adventures relat-
ed and the organization of the robber
band. Middleton was feudal lord, as
it were, in the Niobrara country, and
had the settlers of that region as mis-
willing and admiring vassals, while he
lived in camp surrounded by an armed
and alert band of sixty-eight men, of
which Nolan and Johnson were mem
bers. Middleton married in this Sec
ton, and had all his wife's family to
back him up, and through them all the
settlers were won to his support. Nolan
gives an account of Middleton's cap
ture, brought about by Llewellyn, and
with great disdain says it was treacher-
Gus. Nolan believes in square
STAND UP-REvOLvER, ROARING FIGHT,
but the fnesse of diplomacy he abhors.
Llewellyn's part in the capture of Mid
dleton was one requiring pluck and
nerve of an extraordinary degree. He
visited Middleton's camp, concealing a
comrade in the woods near by, and re-
mained with the gang for three or four
days, finally decoying Middleton near
the ambush of his comrade. Llewellyn
gave the signal, and rM1ddleton's horse
was shot, but not before the horse-thief
chieftain had seen the trap set for him,
and had gotten the drop on the man in
ambush, to the extent of two shots,
from which Llewellyn's companion suf-
fers and Is disabled to-day. In the me-
lee, Llewellyn expected to capture Mid
dleton, but he escaped, but not before
he received terrible wound, and, while
nursing it, was subsequently arrested.
This coup de guerre is what Nolan des-
pises.
During the trip through Minnesota,
at every station, an immense crowd was
in waiting, and crowded the cars to take
a look at the outlaws. Without any
particular incident, however, the escort
and prisoners reached Omaha, and No
Ian and Johnson were given into custo-
dy of the United States marshal of Ne
braska and lodged in jail.
