Expert Horse-thief.

Eau Claire Free Press: Three weeks ago
last Saturday morning, MI. White, residing
east of the city in the town OF Wheaton,
missed from his barn two fine horses. 1t
appears that they had been stolen by an
expert horse thief, one Frank Smith, who
has pleaded guilty to the crime. Smith
was formerly a resident OF Wheaton, but
lately has lived at Rice Lake. He took Mr..
Whites horses to Cumberland. There he
traded one for gray horse and sold the
other to man living near that place. He
then returned to Wheaton with the gray,
which he traded there for miscellaneous
property to Mr.. Plemming, who OF course
supposed that it was all right. Not salts
fed with these exploits, Smith stole one OF
Plemmings horses after he had
made the trade and fled to
the Court Grizzlies Indian reservation,
where he sold Mr.. Plemming's horse.
Smith apparently grew audacious in his
criminality at this point, having stolen
three horses and made horse trade in the
town he stole them from. Last Saturday
night he broke into store at Chetek and
stole $10S in money, leaving for Rice Lake
with his plumber. He was arrested at Rice
Lake Friday morning, and confessed the
whole thing. including the burglary and
horse stealing. Being taken to Chippewa
Falls he was arraigned there on Monday
and pleaded guilty to horse stealing. MI.
White and MI. Plemming were notified OF
that fact, and went to Chippewa Falls to
secure their horses, which had been sent
down from Cumberland and Court Grizzlies.

Insanity.

Insanity is on the increase. Statistics
show this. Many cases are brought on by
overwork, anxiety, excitement, mental
trouble and nervous prostration, it is also
inherited. Invariably sleeplessness and
constipation manifest themselves before
one becomes insane. Constipation induces
dyspepsia, jaundice, bad breath, piles,
pimples, low spirits, headache, etc. DR..

Killed hY Lightning.

Fergus Falls Journal: One more fatal
stroke of lightning is reported from the
country. John Anderson of Wilkin county
was fishing in the river on the Campbell
flats Sunday evening, and was struck by
lightning and instantly killed. He owned
land in that neighborhood. No other par
ticulars of the tragedy are Obtainable. The
house of j. A. Clifford of Bismarck avenue
was struck by lightning Saturday evening.
Mrs. Clifford, Miss Eunice Smith and a
servant girl were in the sitting room when
ball of fire seemed to drop from the stove
pipeyne where it enters the chimney
causing terrific explosion, tearing up the
oilcloth about the stove, burning the carpet
underneath, throwing stovepipe thimble
from its place in the wall and filling the air
with stencil as of sulphur and smoke.
The ladies were nearly Frustrated, and
Mrs. Clifford suffered from the effects Of the
shock throughout the night following. Mr..
Clifford, who was at the barn, was so much
shocked that for moment he thought HIM
self killed. 1t was close call.

Winona Republican,: Zimri Harth, of
unsavory reputation, gave an exhibition OF
rowdyism in street car yesterday, coupled
with acts of violence. He, with three 9TH
ers, in an intoxicated condition, entered a
street car at Main street bound up town. A
well-known lady entered the car at the cor
ner by Huff's hotel and Harth at once be-
gan using insulting language in the presence
of the lady, who, to escape his vile epithets,
left the car before reaching her home. As
she arose to leave the car Harth seized hold
of her in rude manner and continued to
insult her until she left the car. He then
began insulting Mr.. Campbell, a carpenter,
and struck him, then turned upon Mr.. Peter
Henry and struck him with cooper's NAL
let over the head, inhicting ugly wounds,
until Harth was finally elected from the
car. He then sought vengeance by hurting
his mallet at the car, but fortunately it
struck the casing and fell harmless on the
platform. Had it entered the window some
of the inmates would undoubtedly have been
badly hurt. A warrant has been issued for
his arrest, and he will find that Winona now
has just the kind of court to deal promptly
with rowdies of his class

Serious Accident.

La Crosse Chronicle: L. F. Cole, the
well-known conductor on the Green Bay
short line between La Crosse and Marsh
field, had his leg badly injured about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. His train was
being made UP at Marshtield to run into the
city and in attempting to board a moving
car he slipped and fell in such manner
that one wheel passed over his ankle. He
was brought home by the train, which was
about ready to leave, Conductor Frank
Seymour taking charge. The bones are so
crushed that there is little hope of his es-
Gaping permanent lameness, but the doctors
feel pretty certain that his foot can be
saved so as to be serviceable, i'll which hope

Waseca.

The large new hotel over in Maplewood
park, on the picturesque banks of Clear
Lake, will be opened to the public about the
18th of June under the management of Mr..
d. Welsh of this place. 1t will be nicely
kept and in home-like manner. The first
important assemblage at this park will be
the Methodist camp meeting, commencing
June %. The white tents of people from
near home and abroad will soon begin to dot
the grove. On the lake is a steamer and
any number of skiffs. Waseca is the center
of an important milling interest as well as
the center of a large dairying interest The
farming of the country is well diversified
but wheat and cattle play leading parts.
The Herald is one Of the flourishing insti-
tutions of this active town, and is contribu-
ting its full share toward the prosperity of
the place.

An Emcouraging view.


The editor of the Clark County Review,
who is lawyer and money loaner, takes
this view, which appears to relieve the odor
of the chief objections raised to it: The
land decision of Commissioner Sparks need
cause no uneasiness whatever Every proof
that is valid will be patented as before.
Over year ago every loan company doing
business in Dakota required special aft
davit from the claimant regarding his resi-
dence, where he worked, how much absent
from land, etc., and also required the agent
to inquire into the facts, and if the residence
was proper one the loan would be made.
There is no change now. We do not be-
lieve single loan will be prevented by the
decision, and consequently will not affect
the sale of real estate. 1t will tend to
make residence better and improvements
more substantial.

county (Grant) the acreage Of wheat is
slightly increased over that of last year,

25 per cent. A large acreage has been

car over the Milwaukee road yesterday. A

the complaints were of discrimination in
freight charges, which the commissioners
stated they had no power under the law to
remedy. The ACCESSIBILITY of the erection

Crops look well. The weather could not
have been more favorable than it has been
so far this spring. Every few days nice,
warm shower of rain. Farmers are little
late about planting corn, some not being
planted yet. Our city fathers have just
accomplished what was necessary to make
the water works here success. Instead of
belt driving the pump, which would slip
and not give pressure enough, they have
put in gearing. :. The firemen were brought
out Friday evening and attached hose at
three hydrants. The pressure was very
great, and the way the water flew would in
dictate that fire would have difficulty
should it undertake to consume our city. !. :.

Highway Robbery.

Early yesterday a colored man
named Ferdinand Turner was knocked
down near the corner of Carroll and Josette
streets and robbed of what money he had in
his possession. He has been attending the
session of the African lodge, and at the
time Of the robbery was returning home in
company with his host, who lives on JoSette
street. AS they were walking along, three
men suddenly sprung from an alley and
attempted to do them up. Two of
them devoted attention to Turner, who
besides losing his dust had his watch
chain pulled off and broken and was i'll
treated. His companion in the affair got
in his work by pulling a revolver, three
shots from which frightened the highway
men off. The matter was at once reported
to police headquarters, as newly-ap-
pointed officer stationed on that beat could
not be found. From a description the
policr thought they were certain of the
identity of the men.
