One day while digging a ditch lumu
of gold was turned up. Pursuing the
search, mine was revealed. The news
of the discovery Overran the valley like
an epidemic. Rich and poor were soon
employed digging up the soil. The
noble allowed his castle to fall into ruin
and his park to run into Wilderness
The peasant left his fallow to dig in thd
mountain side. Rivers ran dry. for tho
waters were diverted into fumes to wash
the golden dirt. Woods were cut down

BRAINERD. Minn.. July IA disas-

Front street. Kepler'S saloon, the Lum-

went down. On the Laurel street side
Gray's livery stable, BunnelFs black

Jack Buns stock barn succumbed.
Only Smiths restaurant and the Daily
News building remained standing. On
the block west everything was wiped
out on the Laurel street side and all on
the Fourth street side except Justin
Gray's Last Turn saloon. A fierce wind
blew from the start, and the water
works trouble of high water in the

SIX NEW CLASSES.
A New Civil Service Order Which
Creates Stir.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The new civil
service order which was made public
yesterday has created quite stir in de-
partment circles. 1t carries civil service
reform almost to its limits. Six new
classes of employees are added to those
heretofore existing. 1t takes in every
person in the departmental service ex-
cept such as are appointed by and with
the consent of the senate, and such as are
appointed as unskilled laborers and
messengers. The bureau of engraving
and printing, the supervising architects
office and the bureau of statistics are
included in the civil service rules, and
those who are appointed in those
bureaus at per diem pay are to be rated
with those receiving annual salaries to
the same amount. 1t would seem that
the employees of the government print
ing Office are included also, although no
mention is made of them in the rules as
published. The provisions of this order,
ii they become the practice of the gov
ernment, will place our civil service
nearly on par with that of England.

LONDON, July 2.-The Berlin CORE

'Prince Bismarck in conversation
with several members of the upper

his conviction that peace would not be

provoked war. He had no such fear
of Russia. He was firmly convinced
that the differences between Germany
and Russia would be completely settled.
He wished he could feel the same conf
dence in France. In France, however,
he added, the unexpected might happen
at any tIme."

peculiar features. A week ago tonight
Mrs. Finlay awoEe in the middle of the
night to find her husband holding
vial to her mouth. "Take drink, dar-
ling" he said, when he saw she was
awake. There was strong odor of
chloroform and her clothing was satur-
ated with it. She went to neighbours,
and at once communicated with her
parents at Oshkosh, Wis, from whom
she ascertained that her husband had
written them several days before that
she was dangerously i'll. These cir
cumstanceS, in connection with the fact
that she felt unwell after drinking
cup of coffee prepared for her by him,
led her to cause his arrest to-day. He
at first admitted and then denied the
charge. His marriage occurred less
than year ago, and it is supposed he
wanted to get rid of his wife and marry
another woman. Four years ago a
former wife and her child were burned
to death in their dwelling at Grand

Enterprising Chicago Gamblers.


Chicago Tribune.
At one Clark street gambling house
early in the convention proceedings
four years ago a Kentucky man was
permitted to win S.. 900 at faro one night.
The word permitted is used advisedly,
as the truth of this story could be sup
ported by affidavitS if the gamblers who
put up the job could be induced to give
away the facts in the case. He was
loud-mouthed man. this same Ken
Juckian, and lost 10 time in spreading
the news of his good luck. AS con-
sequence the Clark street house was
literally jammed with visitors for the
next few nights. What was the next
move? Brace games were played
without intermiSsion; not the slightest
pretense of fairness was allowed. AS
consequence the house was steady and
enormous winner. 1t is said that one
night alone $4,000 was cleared up.
The gamblers missed it in one par
ticular, however; they failed to rope in
the Kentuckian again, as had been Or
iginally planned. One of the employees
of the house had been entrusted with
the job of clinging to the man from the
Blue Grass country until he could, in a
day or two, induce him tOsreturn. But
the gamblers made a wrong calculation;
they miSjudged the capacity of their
friend to absorb Robertson county
alongside of native who literally had
been brought up on the bottle. So the
employe fell by the wayside; the KEN
tuckian was enticed into little game of
draw at room in one of the hotels, and
there he not only ''dropped the roll''
which he had gathered together in the
gambling house, but all he could beg or
borrow outside.
