Indignant Citizens Of Wabasha Run Her.
bert Ross Out of Town.
The other night Herbert Ross, of Wa
basha, was taken from his house and
treated to q coat of tar For some time
Ross had borne the reputation of being a
bully and ruff1an, maltreating inoffensive
people and practically creating reign of
terror among the peaceable citizens. The
direct cause of the, tarring was the fact
that Wabasha merchant presented bill
to Ross and requested payment. The lat
tor assaulted the merchant, pounding him
in shameful manner On learning this a
body of about $50 men gathered and
marched to Ross house, took him out,
and, after administering a severe drub-
bling, poured the contents of r-barrel
over him. Ross had disappeared, but
would undoubtedly fare badly If he ap-
peared again.

How tho Sea- Has Been Subjected to the
Uses Of Man.
The sea was to primitive man q
dreadful and q little known wilderness.
It seemed to disjoin men, to hinder
trade, to coop up the human race.
To-day it is the ring of marriage
with all nations. !" AS upon the great
deserts merchants travelled in caravans
Tor safety and counsel, so they at first
Travelled upon the sea in fleets, as soon
as individual explorers had led the
way and commerce had any sort of
organization. Men were too timid to
venture alone with their goods.
The picturesque element was UNI
doubted. Take Venice as a type not
too remote in time for the modern
mind. A green sea laves the foot of
its white quays and palaces. Red
robed officials stand at the top of the
quay steps and the doors of mansions
and On the Rialto. The public square
Is alive with the sound of flies and
trumpets and PROFESSIONS of archers,
mariners and dignitaries pass along.

to leave home for a long Jour-
ney. The air is heavy with flags

annual journey, and going in body,
under a Commodore elected by the
Grand Council, who has his own train
OF music men, his black-robed physi-
clans, his pilots, scribes and craftsmen
bearing their tools. Each ship has
been chartered by public auction, and
is directed by a patrician. The fleet,
with the blessing of the Doge and the
good wishes-alas! also the tears
the people, will slowly maze it's way
eastward, and when it has bought car
goes of silks, camlets, carpets, Persian
shawls and spices, sent by caravan to
the Syrian ports and to Egypt, it will
curve back toward the mouth of the
Mediterranean, distributing it's riches

it has reached Portugal and can creep
along to Antwerp, the center of West

Continental wine fleets came to En-

Tossed into disorder, they reached the

A Young Girls Courage Prevents Serious

BY the heroism Of a young lady named
Hattie Wheeler few evenings ago what
would have been disaster was averted on
farm about three miles south of Pipe
stone Miss Wheeler had built fire in the
cook stove for the purpose of getting sup
per, when by some means large package
OF gunpowder caught fire. The powder
was wrapped in three or four papers and
the outside one was all afire when the
young lady picked the package up and
threw it out doors The powder exploded
with terrific force and the young lady was
seriously burned about the face and arms.
There was powder enough in the bundle
to have blown the house to atoms had it
been within its walls when it exploded.

SPAiN'S POSTAL SERVICE,

a Country Where Post-Ohices Are Com
Quoted In q Peculiar Way.
You can not get a stamp alta Spanish
post-office for love or money. You
get it at the nearest cigar store, where
also you find a letter-box. and nowhere
else except at the post-of6ce. A strange
story was told me by an English chap
lain at Malaga. Casually strolling
into the cafe one day, he noticed a
number of letters stuck up on the wall,
and to his supreme establishment found
that several of them were for him.
On investigating the matter he discov-
cred that a postal clerk had entered
into an arrangement with the GAZETTEER
to send him letters addressed to for
eigners, the understanding being that
the latter would probably pay him a
fee for his trouble, or, at any rate,
frequent the cafe! The chaplain re-
ferred the matter to the Consul, and
the little game was stopped.
Among the letters in the cafe
were several addressed to parties,
known to the chaplain, who had left
weeks before. The moral would seem
to be, don't address your letters poste
restante, but send them to the Consul
or the broker named in your letter of
credit.
Registered letters appear to be safe,
on the other hand, but the extraordi-
nary precautions taken to make them
safe appear like an accusation of gen.
eral dishonesty. If you receive reg
istered letter you have to return the
envelope with the signature of your
receipt. This is simple enough. The
difficulty lies in knowing how to send
off registered letter. shall never
forget my first experience in that line.
When handed in my letter it was re-
turned with the remark that it must be :
sealed. I took it to a cigar store
and had a seal put on it, but
again it was handed back. ssThere
must be five seals,'' said the
clerk. Not wishing to expose my
ignorance to the black-eyed- beauty in
the cigar store, I went to stationer's
and bought a bar of sealing wax, but
having no stamp used coin instead.
Once more the letter was returned:
1.-THE stamps on the sealing-wax must
be all the same" In despair took il
back to the black-eyed girl and ex-
planned my difficulties. She put on
the five seals, and then at last the let
ter was accepted. The most absurd
part Of the whole story is that al.
though Seville swarms with foreigners
in spring, there are no directions re-.
garding the matter posted up any
where. Indeed, not even the time
(three or four hours a day. when the
post-office is open is announced at the
window. Obviously, the Spaniards are
not much in need of postal facilities,
and for q good reason, since not much
more than twenty five per cent. of the
population can write and read -SeveiA
