WICkEDNESS AND A WOMAN

Are Generally Too Much for n Bank Cash
Ter, as the Following Proves.
ANokA, Mimi, April S-The doors of the
First National bank closed Saturday even
ing. The CASH r is in Canada. The matter
has been kept quiet, but the facts show that
the cashier, p. +. Pratt, has got away with
about $780, 200 Much of it is overdrafts
dorsement of customers of the bank to papel
which he cashed and appropriated One oil
the losers is Mrs Nell, who has been mulcted
in about S35, COS by obtaining her indorse
ment to notes. She is 90 years DID, a widow
and looked upon Pratt almost as a son.
1t Is but another of those cases in which
fair and frail woman plays part Last sum
mer the good people'of Anoka were shocked
and Mortified to learn that Pratt had been Oh
dangerously intimate terms with handsome
young woman of doubtful antecedents, anC
who, 1t is said, was supported by Pratt. The
scandal became public property when his
wife, highly esteemed lady, took her two
children and removed to Boston, where hel
brother resided. Soon after the wife left
the grass widow disappeared, but knowing
ones said she WIS in Minneapolis, and soon 6
bright-eyed little stranger appear,s on the

ROche's Defeat.

The enormous majority of over ~ ,OC0
for Cregier for mayor of Chicago is tell
ing rebuke to chicanery and imbecility in
politics. Roche appears to be a weak
minded individual who was but as clay in
, the hands of the sstute politicians who
compose the Cook county republican ma.
chine. Dislike of ring methods was
largely the reason OF Roche's overwhelm-
ing defeat. but it is not the chief cause
That is to be found in popular disgust
over the mayors treachery in humiliating
the police officers who had aroused the an
tsgonism Of law breakers. He calculated
upon winning the votes Of this class, and
probably he did win them, but while
doing so he alenated thousands of order
loving citizens in his own party. There is
nothing that the American people will less
readily forgive than treachery, and. cons
sidering the circumstances of his election,
Roche's was of the blacklist sort.
1t may be remarked incidentally that
the election illustrates in very striking
manner the ups and downs of politics.
Two years ago Roche was successful by
over 10000 majority and was about the
biggest man In all Chicago. The demo.
cratic party had no ticket in the field and
seemed TO be practically oblitersted.
Predictions were freely made that not for
years would it regain. its lost prestige.
Now. after the brief interval OF two
years, Roche has had an adverse majority
of $4,000 recorded against him and
everybody seems to delight in shying
rock at him. The democracy is again on
deck and in possession of all the offices.
Similar panoramic changes are no novel;
ty in American politics. So was it ever,
and so will it always be.

Would BE COlOnists Warned of the Diff
culties in the Way.
CHICAGO, April S.-The Chicago Oklahoma
Colony association held meeting at 20S Blue
Island avenue yesterday and completed ar
rangements to move upward of 100 Of its
members into the new by opened territory
April %.
Phil Sunfield was the presiding officer Mr..
Higgins, IN a brief speech, recited u few of
tue difficulties settlers will have to surmount
IN order 10 obtain Possession of homesteads.
he said that there are already 1900 men
massed on the Indian territory line, waiting
for the signal to march, and as they consider
themselves entitled to the first claims on the
land they are ready to fight for their rights
Passenger Agent Robinson, of the Santa
Fe road, assured the culonists that there will
be sufficient force of United States troops
IN the territory TO protect every mans rights
he also claimed that the Chicago colonsts
will have better chance to secure home
steads than the boomers on the border The
former can, by leaving Chicago April 10,
reach the Indian territory line at noon of the
22d, and from there can travel To Oklahoma
many times faster than the settlers who VIII
travel the trails.
Frank Luce, who claims to have trav-
eled through the territory, said that
less than one-hal the land is fit
for agricultural purposes. The rest is
rocky and salty, and its water is SO
permeated with alkal that cattle can not
drink it and live. He said the Payne boom
ers, numbering thousands, are splendidly or
gained and equipped, and as they consider
themselves the pioneers in the movement to
open the country TO settlement they are
ready TO fight for the lands. "The fact is, ~
MIR. Luce added, that there island for L 900
settlers there, and there are now &c, 900 men
on the line ready to claim it. As many more
are organizing IN the cities, just as you are
here, to start Tor the territory in time TO get
there April ~"
Frank Van Alstine cautioned the members
OF the colony to consider all the risk they will
have to run, the hardships they will la We to
endure. THE most of the people," said he,
"who are going to Oklahoma are poor They
do not realize that after they get there they
will have to work six months for nothing,
and wait that length OF time for their first
crops

SAVANNAH, Ga, April Sat o'clock
Saturday night, while man was lighting the

brick dry goods store, at the corner of
Broughton and Barnard streets, IN the heart
flammable material suddenly burst into
flames. A high wind prevailed, and in five
minutes the fire had run through every part
Of the building. Those In the store had barely
time to escape with their lives Hogan's store
and stock were totally consumed, as was also
the crockery and household stock Of James
Douglas & Co., who occupied store adjotn-
ing.
The fire in the meantime had leaped across
Barnard street to the corner of State and
quickly consumed the four story brick build
ing occupied by the Young Mems Christian
association. Loss, over 500. 900 Two three
story and basement brick dwellings, i'm
mediately west of this building, were also re-
duced to ruins. Other buildings burned be-
fore the fire was gotten under control were
the Independent Presbyterian church, Han
dlers four-story paint and builders supply
store, the fine arsenal of the Savannah
Guards battalion and dozen or twenty fine
residences and a number of tenements of
little value
No loss of life has been reported and no
serious casualties. Neighboring cities
promptly started fire companies, but oil were
turned back before reaching here. The best
estimates of the total loss place it at $3.50,
