One OF the Robbers Locked in the Tecasure
Vault ana Let Out by His Pals.
LONDON, August 22.-An astounding
bank robbery has Just been reported from
st. Petersburg. The plundered institution
is the State Bank Of Russia, and the
amount Of the robbery is 10000 roubles,
or $4,000. This amount was taken
bodily out Of the vault of the bank be-
tween two days, but the vaults were found
securely locked on the morning Of the dis
covery, and there was no evidence OF vio-
lence or OF burglary. II was plainly not
q case OF dsfalcatinn, for the
books showed no false entries. A
careful inquiry has shown that the rob
berry was committed by aparty Of minor
employees of the bank who hadno right
OF access to the vaults, but who had be-
come thoroughly familiar with the rou-
tine Of the institution, and were thus en-
abled TO concoct plan by which one, OF
their number was locked in theyault at
the close OF business hours and released
during the night by his confederates.
Before they were able to penetrate to
the treasure vaults the eonsplrators had
to forge the signatures OF 40 high officials
OF the bank. The chief criminal has fed.
and there Is no probability Of recovering
much Of the stolen money. \

its weekly review Of the wool mafketsays.
The market continues active, with large,
sales reported, while the figures would
have been even greater had dealers been
able to open their goods iast enough to
meet the demand. There isAno. boom in
the market, but for the past six weeks
sales have been large, as an average OF
over 4, 100000 pounds per week, and the
effect Of this lively business must Of course
be felt on prices. AT ttheadyanee in some
grades, noted Q week ago, dealers have
found no trouble to place their goods, and
they are now in many. .instance trying to
obtain little more advance. The
price Of wool here IS considered
low as compared with the cost in the
country, and It Is claimed that at present
figures, the goods sold cannot be replaced
with any profit 10 the dealer. With this
view Of the situation insight, dealers are
tryirg to force up prices To- such o basis
that profit will BE made, but on the

CHOLERA.

Approximations of the approach of
cholera are increasing; the alarm is
becoming more general. 1t is not safe
for people to reason that the cholera is
still great way off, and that there is
no immediate danger at this distance.
Kenosha had fearful visitation of
cholera in 1850, when there were no
more apparent causes to invite the dis
ease than now. When the cholera
suddenly came upon the city in 1850
the authorities began the immediate
cleansing of the streets and alleys, but
it was too late to stay its progress. No
one can say with any degree of GER
tainty whether the cholera will visit
us this year or not, but no village or
city ever suffered loss by adopting
sanitary measures. Cleanliness is
goodness" 1t is gratifying to learn
the authorities of this city are not un.
mindful of the Importance of taking
precautionary measures.
The news from Europe represents
the cholera as making frightful raw
ages in Spain, and is of the most malig-

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

The business outlook of the country
seems to be rather bewildering to the
wisest of men. 1t is easy to say what
is needed to give trade start, but is
the thing needed practical? There is no
lack of money, for never before was
there more money lying idle. There
are over $60.0O0,0O0 on hand in the
banks of New York city above the
amount Of legal reserve required. In
all great business centers there is a
like excess. In Chicago there are mil
lions Of dollars of idle capital await
ing investment, or so Invested, say the
Chicago papers, as not to be paying
over IL to 21a per cent per annum.
Manufacturers are not disposed to Dor.
row, the demand for their goods and
wares is not pressing, and the condi-
ton of trade does not warrant an in
crease of their operations. Merchants
are similarly situated, and farmers
with the present prices of their pro.
ducts, are not anxious to borrow money
to increase their farming operations.
New railroad enterprises do not prom
Use largely on money investments
strikes of working men many of them
of formidable character, are constant
ly occurring; the employers of the
working men, say they cannot accede
to the demands of the strikers, on &C.
count of the slackness of trade, there
being no pressing necessity for their
services. This being the general con
dition of the country, it is not singular
that capitalists are perplexed how to
make investments. The prospect OF
any immediate business revival is moi
hopeful.

VICTOR HUGO.

The remains of Victor Hugo were
accorded the unusual privilege of be.
ing deposited in the Pantheon at Paris
The Archbishop of Paris has entered
a solemn protest, saying, for third
time an impious philosopher, who de.

lions, has ravished the church from

Prof. Swing preached an able ser.
mon in Central church, Chicago, last
Sunday, taking for his subject, :" Victor
Hugo and the religion of France
Prof. Swing placed the population of
France at 100000, of which $4,000
600 are Roman Catholics, little over
100000 Professionals, leaving about l.
100000 of irreligious, ! n which number
are comprised those denominated
French infdels. Prof. Swing maintains
that Victor Hugo was not the out
growth of the 1rreligious element, as
often charged.
1t is probable, however, that neither
Professionals nor Catholics claim to be in
religious accord with Victor Hugo.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOLS.

Manual training sch ools are steadily
growing in favor. but as yet have on
ly been established in the larger towns
and cities. Wherever they have been
given fair trial, they have met the
expectations of their friends and pa
irons. The Chicago training school is
nearing the end of the second year
the term will close on Monday, June
%, and on that day there will be a
grand exhibition, when cavilers and
doubters will be afforded an opportuni-
ty to see what manual training school
is capable of accomplishing in mechan-
les. and at the same time keep up in
other branches of study usually pur.
sued in the public schools. If it shall
appear that the pupils, while learning
useful trades, have not fallen behind in
their studies those Of equal age in the
schools of book learning, then it will
give satisfactory evidence of the ad-
vantage of manual training schools.
The effect of manual training on the
health of the scholars is most gratify-
ing; instances are mentioned in the
Chicago school in which scholars in
poor health have been restored to full
vigoy of body. In all cases it has
strengthened the intellect as well as
the muscles. The interest of the
scholars in the manual training exer-
cises is eXcessive; the workshops to
them are what the Fairgrounds are to-
the children. The Director Of the
school says that the pupils do more eff
fective book study than is done in the
high schools. This training school is
regarded by it's patrons as having full
filled their highest expectations, and
has been complete success.

TIE REVISED OLD TESLA.
MENT.

Sufficient time has elapsed since the
completion of the Old Testament re-
vision and publication to Judge of its
reception by the public generally, and
it seems to have met with more accept
ance than the revised New Testament.
Taking the opinion of those best COM
petent to judge, the new revision is a
decided improvement. Among the al.
terations of words and phrases probably
none have excited so much comment
as the old familiar word hell" sheol
in the original. The word hell has
long been used with various meaning,
some times to indicate a condition of ex-
IRENE punishment, and some times
with no reference to pain.
The substitution of the Hebrew word
"sheoT' in the revised Old Testament
for the familiar hell" is explained by
the New York Sun:
cit would appear that the reyisers
could not find an English expression
for sheop which satisfied them, and
therefore they have transcribed it just
as it stands in the Hebrew text.
Originally, however, 'hell,' like the
Greek hades,' was the exact equiva-
lent of sheol.' both being the designa-
ton of vast hollow place or cavern
under the earth where the spirits of
the dead We're supposed to dwell, not
in torments, but still in darkness and
discomfort. The place of punishment
was called by the Hebrews in later
days gehenna,' from the name of the
valley near Jerusalem where rubbish
and 0rdure were cast. and where fires
were kept burning to purify the air.
The idea of hell as place of torment
is modification of the original concep-
ton, but it has become so firmly estab-
lished that the word no longer answers
to the Hebrew sheol,' and has there
fore properly been discarded by the
revisers."

AWBERRIES.

The strawberry yield in southern
Illinois, notwithstanding the past
severe winter, has been large. From
twelve to eighteen carloads have been
shipped daily from Centralia, one of
the principal centers of the strawberry
trade, besides from other towns on the
line of the Illinois Central railroad.
When the season for southern straw
berries is over the crop nearer home
will come into market. The straw
berries grown in Wisconsin are equal
in quality to those produced in any
other state. The crop in this vicinity,
it is said, promises well this season.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

The United States government, under
no ordinary circumstances, can pass to
the full control of the Democratic
party before 1887. Until that date, &C.
cording to the methods of calculation,
the Republicans will have majority
in one branch of the government the
Senate, Without the consent and con-
currence of that body, no law can be
passed or national measure adopted.
A full United States Senate consists
Of seventy-six members, and of that
number the Republicans have now
forty-one, and the Democrats thirty
four. There is one vacancy in Ore
gon, which when filled will make a
full senate; the chances of Republi-
can or Democrat from Oregon are
about equal. Should Dakota be ad-
mitted, it will add two Senators to the
Republican column. Should any SEN
ator be removed by death or other
cause, it is tolerably safe to calculate
that the vacancy would be filed by a
member of the same party politics. If
any one entertains any apprehension
that the government under Cleveland's
administration may attempt any rash
legislation he has the satisfaction of
knowing that the Senate will be a bar
rier in all reasonable probability for
the next two years.

NEW COURT HOUSE.

The question of building a new

elaboration, been settled, on a basis
which will be found5 stated in this
paper. Whatever differences of opin.
ion there may have been among the
people of the county in respect to the
proper disposition of this question, or
may still exist, probably all are glad
that the matter of building has reach
ed a fnality. The liberality of some
Of our citizens who have taken an in.
terest in the building of new Court
House is commendable. Hon. z. G..
Simmons, the contractor, needs no en-
