1T is A SURE GO.
A Rife Club Will be Organized in
This City.

This City.
Preliminary steps have been taken
looking to the organization of a rifle
club, to be known as the st. Paul Rifle
club, and the gentleman interested in
the enterprise are at present consider
ing proposition made to them of a
suitable range situated in South St.
Paul. 1t is located in rayine about a
quarter of mile from the South st.
Paul railroad station, and the ranges,
one of 200 yards and the other 500 yards,
will be so situated that the bullets fired
at the targets will go into a bluff 100
feet high, thus obviating any danger
from stray shots. Among those who
have signifed their intention of becom-
ing members of the new club are
Messrs. A. I'll. Hornsby, A. E. Chantler,
DR.. E. H. Whitcomb, c. n. Morrill,, G..
E. Clark, John P. Fisher, G. G. Fair
child, M. F. and j. G. Kennedy, G. A.
Vanduzee, w. S. Shank, Frank Jaeger,
and Bernard Schwam, and they propose
to organize on a permanent basis by
electing officers in few days. Accord
ing to the situation of the range offered in
South st. Paul it will not be necessary
for the marksmen to wait upon each
other for firing at the different ranges,
but while one squad may be engaged at
200 yards another few steps away will
be firing in an opposite direction at the
500 yards target. 1t is only question
of range facilities that is now engross-
ing the attention of the promoters of the
new club, and the ground which has
been rendered them free of charge is
not likely to be plated for several years

The Secret of 1t.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Chairman
Blanchard. of the house committee on
rivers and harbors, says that he has dis
covered the secret of the opposition
which suddenly developed and defeated
the river and harbOr bill yesterday. He
declares that large number of Repub-
lican representatives held caucus OF
secret meeting and resolved to oppose
the passage of the river and harbor bill
as means of obstructing the passage of
the tariff bill. They calculated that the
friends of the former bill would be
forced to defend it even to the extent Of
antagonizing tariff legislation. Mr.
Blanchard expects that another effort
will be made to pass the river and har-
Dor bill in a week or two, when further
obstructive tactics are looked for. but
he declares that he, for one, will not be
driven to antagoniZe the tariff bill.

Sixty Hours in a Well.

OAKDALE, Neb., April 17.-Last Fri
day two-year-old boy of Bohemian
farmer living five miles south of here
fell into an old dry well seventy feet
deep. He was not discovered until
yesterday, when he was heard crying.
The well being very narrow, it was
possible to reach the child only by
widening the aperture. A force of men
from Oakdale and the surrounding
country commenced the work of rescue,
and yesterday afternoon reached the
boy and released him, apparently but
little the worse for his sixty hours fast
and confinement in the damp and mar
row prison.

WINNIPEG, April 17.-This city is in
terrible state Of excitement, almost
equal to that of rebellion times. Harry
McKittrick and George Vetle, two
prominent hotel keepers, were arrested
this morning, charged with completely
in the Union bank robbery. The $4,000,
all untouched, was found on the prem
ises occupied by McKittrick. Cameron
telegraphs from Emerson to your cor
respondent, stating that he made an az
rangement with the manager OF the
bank that they were not to prosecute
McKittrick and Vetie if the money was
given up. McKittrick and Vetle did
not take the money from the
bank. Cameron says he gave it to
them to keep for him and SEND
it along as sooD as he had reached the
United States territory in safety.
Woods, an intimate friend OF Cameron,
has been largely instrumental In recov-
ering the banks money, and it was to
him that Cameron squealed. Woods ar
rived ON special train in Winnipeg
about l o'clock this morning. Some
difference of opinion exists between
Chief Of Police McRae and the bank
managers. McRae did not want to let
Woods go and get the money, while the
bank managers held an opposite
opinion and did not wish to run
any chances of losing the miss
ing Doodle. The money was
stored away in the safe. The
entire amount of stolen money is now
in the Union bank safe, where it was
placed for safe keeping by Chief Nc,
Rae pending the trial of McKittrick and
Vetie. Detective Mckenzie makes
very damaging statements against the
prisoners now under arrest, and the
opinion is that they will certainlybe COM
mitted for trial. They are both in jail
now, and bail has been refused. A
young man named Diamond is also
under arrest, but it is believed that he
had no hand in the robbery. The deed
is one of the most daring in the criminal
records of Canada. and the sum is the
largest ever stolen from Canadian
bank,

Discussing the DIss DE BARR episode the

the rapid growth of belief in ''cures'' and

the natural reaction from infidelity on the one

about half way down the Center street

side steadying it. when the rope snapped

which proved so unwieldy, smashed up
