DAKOTA's HOT WIND.
Terrified Residents Who Thought Judgment
Day Had Arrived.

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 9-People in Dakota
thought the world was coming to an end the day
before yesterday The wind was like simeon.
Birds, horses and cattle apparently became
crazy with fright, anticipating some catastrophe
At o'clock in the morning people were awak-
ened by a roaring blast as hot as if from afur-
mace. Fearing a cyclone, they took refuge in
cellars. The hot wind lasted an hour The tenn
perature was l20 degrees. At midnight it had
been 100 degrees. People feared death from the
hot air, and had it lasted much longer the fear
would doubtless have been realized. Fortunate
~ it soon abated, and comparative comfort was
found in q temperature of about 100 degrees
which had prevailed for several days previously.
During this terrible night there were strange
baronetric disturbances throughout that region.
Passengers who came through on Northern Pa
cific trains say that it was like passing through
q furnace. Trainmen had their faces and hands
blistered by the heat. Grass and other crops
are greatly damaged.

BIG POsT0FFICE ROBBERY.
Burglars Blow Safe at Minneapolis and Sc
cure $4,000 in Cash and Stamps.

MENNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 9.-The postoffice
was broken open on Thursday night and robbed
of $4,000 in money and stamps There is no
clew to the thieves.
Mr.. Laraway arrived in the city on the early
train from Lake Minnetonka, and was not aware
of the robbery until he arrived at the Office. The
lobby of the postofice was open all night and
the safe blowers had no difficulty in opening the
stamp window, where one man crawled through
and opened the door from the inside The safe
was near the window. but as the glass was
painted they could not be seen from the street.
The work was that of professionals. They
drilled hole four inches into the safe between
the handles of the combination, and then picked
the lock. Mr. Laraway estimates that there
was about $4,000 in stamps in the safe, and of
this amount $l8, 900 were taken, they having left
81, 300 in one cent stamps All the currency that
was taken in after o'clock, amounting to 800,
was taken. After the robbery, they made their
exit through the door of the Office and took a
mail-carriers horse and Hickey, Middemeist 81
Taylor's delivery wagon, and carried the Doodle
of. As near as can be ascertained, the robbery
was committed between ! and o'clock. The
Office does not employ a watchman. From the
appearance of the stamp department, they left
in great haste having left several fine steel drills
and q large sledge-h hammer and pick ak, also a
silk handkerchief with mark on it, which will
be clew for the detectives. At the time of the
robbery heavy rain was falling, and there was
not policeman that could be found anywhere in
tho neighborhood.
The robbers went to st. Paul and left the
horse and wagon, which has been found by the
police.

BRAZIL, Ind, July 9-The recent lynching of
Epps. the negro brute, at Vincennes and the
triple lynching of the Archers at Shoals with
two prisoners, charged with murder, confined in
the State prison for safe-keeping, have served to
give Indiana al unenviable notoriety. Indiana
is a law abiding State, however, and the people
are disposed to wait on its proverbial delays. If
lynchings have been INDUCED in, it is but an
illustration of the growth of mobocracy when
once introduced, and especially when winlSed at
by officers of the law. 1t costs about So, 900 to

Bill Nye's Advice to a Writer.

Seriously, | would suggest that you
make bold dash for success by writ
ing things that other people are not
writing, thinking things that other
people are not thinking, and saying
things that other people are not say
ing. You will say that this advice is
easier to give than to take, and |
agree with you. But hetendency of
the age is to wear the same style of
collar and coat and hat that every
other man wears, and to talk and
write like other men andtO be frank
with you, think it is an internal
shame. If you will look carefully
about you, you will see that the
preacher who is talking mostly to
dusty pew cushions, is also the preach
er who is thinking the thoughts of
other men. He is Impending" his
barrel of sermons annually, and they
were made in the first place from the
sermons of man who also "up-end-
ed' his barrel annually. Go where
the preacher is talking to full houses
and you will discover that his SER
mons are full of humanity and Origi-
nality. They are not written in Ii
brary by man with interchangeable
ideas, an automatic cog-wheel think
er, but they are prepared by a man
who earnestly and honestly studies
the great, aching heart Of humanity,
and full of sincerity, originality and
old-fashioned Christianity, appeals to
your better impulses. How is it with
our poetry? As a fellow-traveler
and sea-sick tourist across LIES tenn
pestuous tide, ask who is writing
the poetry that will live? Is it the
man who is saving out and sandpa-
pering stanzas of the general dimen-

Swift Action.

1t is not enough that your work is
done in some fashion; do it briskly;
put heart into effort. Tasks finished
quickly have q crisp freshness about
them that is worth good deal, and
the worker is less fatigued and ready
to go on again. The consciousness of
something attempted, something
done," as Longfellow puts it, gives
him new nerve and courage, and he
goes on rejoicing as strong man to
run race. Thoroughness need never
be impeded by prompt and swift ac-
ton, and though "slow and sure"
. has passed into proverb, it is not
one of universal application. Pune
tuality also goes long way toward
insuring success, and the time saved
by it is marvellous. Life contains
twice as many possibilities for those
who finish their task to the appointed
moment, and begin again without
the waste of ten minutes or quarter
ofan hour, as it does for persons who
yawn and look around them, and oc-
cupy many precious minutes in get
ting up the resolution necessary Tor
the next. Forethought, especially if
it can be exercised in killing
several birds with one stone, and
mapping out the days duties before
hand, is Invaluable. 1t saves the tire
some question, "Now, what shall l
do" and it saves also the desultory
habit of mind induced by never hav-
ing any fixed and definite plan to go
upon.
