Youthful Cracksmen.
A QUARTET OF YOUNG CRIMINALS
GATHERED IN.
MODE OF
Burglarles Supposed to Be the Work of
Old and Experienced Cracksmen Con-
fessed to by the Doughty Little
1O-Year-Old Captain.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-For two or three
months past q large number of petty
burgiaries in the vicinity of Western
avenue and Madison street, in this city,
have annoyed the police exceedingly.
The local papers opposed to Mayor
Roche's administration have been I'M
sparing in their condemnation of the
police for ineficiency, while the authori-
ties nave been exercising remarkable
vigilance. AS a result of careful inves-
tigation they have gathered in a re-
markable gang of burglars-four boys,
aged eight, ten, twelve and fourteen
years, and the youngest, William Morgan,
proves to have been the captain. His
lieutenant 10 William Sullivan, a 10
year-old lad. Henry Stackmeyer, the
eldest, was the general utility man for
the gang. George Hopkins, aged IL, is a
recent addition and is as yet but a novice.
The boys are all of respectable parent
g and their relatives are thunder
| struck at the revelations concerning their
~precocious progeny.
Numerous burgleries, which were re-
| ported to the police and were laid to old
and experienced cracksmen, were con-
fessed to by the doughty little captain.
They had been holding a regular carni-
val of crime. No house was safe when
they crawIed around in the back yard,
as was their usual method of attack.
Their usual plan was to saw a panel
from a door. Morgan is so diminutive
that he could easily get through the
aperture thus made and admit his com
panions. The particulars of a dozen
burglaries were detailed to the magis-
trate of police court, showing that these
boys had within two months stolen al
most everything from candy and jewelry
up to a horse. The latter animal they
really stole from a barn and drove it
away with the intention of selling it,
but finding they were likely to get into
trouble allowed it to go after driving it
about for half a day. In all the houses
they entered they took every key they
could get and meant to fit out the mem
bers with a good set that would unlock
any door. When the magistrate had re
covered from the amazement produced
by the revelations of the infant Cap
tain" he fined Hopkins $50 and held
| Sullivan and Stackmeyer to the crimina,
court in bonds of 81, 600. He was puzzled
what to do with the Captain but
finally sent him back to the station.

Nov, what are the people doing +? They
are demanding at least 5 per cent of the
annual salary of every federal official in
Dakota. Those officials upderstand-at
least one of them does-that they must
either pay the sums demanded or lose
their positions. What do the friends Of
civil service reform think Of this precious
scheme to extort money from employees
of the government? What does the
Hon. Grover Cleveland think OF 1t? We
have the word of Mr.. Angus that federal
officials are engaged in this sand bsgglng
business. Let them be exposed and
dishonor. Let Treasurer Glidden of

forced contributions which now jingle

1t Is Declared by a Dominion Engineer to
BE Partly in Canadian Territory.
OTTAWA, Sept. 1S.-John Page, chief
%engingeer of the Dominion canals, who
watched the building of the St. Clair
Flats canal in the interest of Canada,
speaking of the question as to whether
any portion of the canal was in Canada,
said that the canal was constructed in
1S57-'58 by the United States govern
ment. The Canadian government con-
tributed $40, 600 toward the cost, but had
nothing to do with the direction of the
work OF construction. At the time little
attention was paid to the question of ter
~riSorial Jurisdiction. The work was re-
garded as one useful. to both countries,
and it was considered that il trouble
arose the stronger party in the fight
| would secure possession of it. Mr.. Page
| says that in the order in council grant
ing the $50, 000 in cid of the canal the
Canadian government affirmed that the
work was partly in Canadian territory.
! The channel inside of Bots Blanc island
is also exclusively Canadian.

The Sioux Treaty.

SIOUX FALLS, Oak, Sept. 1s.-Bishop
Hare, who is one of the strongest friends
of the Sioux Indians andsa member Of
the Indians Rights association, left for
Rosebud and Pine Ridge agencies for the
purpose of using his influence to secure
signatures to the Sioux treaty. The
bishop felt confident that no trouble
would be met with at these agencies,
and advices from teachers and prom
inent residents of the agencies stated if
he would advise the Indians to sign
they would do so without parley.
Bishop Hare, among the Indians, is
considered a second Father De Smet,
and the work he will do for the commits
sioners will prove his great Influence.

much indebted for its remarkable Growth in c;rc,,-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the "blanket-
sheet style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff THE DAILY News is the onlv
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition of affairs is that THE DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal a Jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the Cheap paper I" should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.

size, that not only is Of no worth to the reader,
but is even an annoyance, in that it conapels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from a mass

it a careful comparison Of this medi-
cine with other blood purifiers and
medicines, being confident that the
peculiar merits of Hoods Sarsaparil-
la are SO apparent that the people
will unhesita.ingly prefer it to any
other preparation. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is not a mixture of molasses
and few inert roots and herbs, but
it is peculiar concentrated extract
of the best alternative and blood pu-
rifvins remedies of the vegetable

A Pitiahle Object.

A most pitiable spectacle was seen
at the Pacific depot, Sunday, in the
person Of Mrs Thurman, of Pu-
laski county, who was being taken
by her husband and DR.. Alfred
Tittingcon, to the insane asylum at
Nevada. She was blind, deaf and
a mental wreck. the former atfliction
having come upon her about six
months ago, while the other visi-
tations were of more recent origin.
The party came in on the Gulf and
proceeded to the Pacific depot, where
Missourian representative saw
them. The unfortunate woman was
continually begging for drink of
water, and when it was brought her
would declare they had put some
thing in it to kill her. Her husband
said this delusion was ever with her,
and though for days she had been
apparently dying from thirst, she
could not be induced to swallow q
drop. While at the depot a drink
was brought her fresh from the well.
but she rejected it, declaring that it
was like all the rest of the water,
that there was something in it. Her
husband said that her insanity, to-
gether with her infirmities, was the
result, as the doctors thought, OF
neuralgia, was not always of such a
mild type, but sometimes took quite
a dangerous shape. The party re-
