A BOLD BURGLAR.
A Lively Chase After Him, But
He Gets Off with the Swag.

He Gets Off with the Swag.
Friday night footpad maze the rounds
of Fsirview park.
He forced an entrance into Captain
Will Stacy's residence and stole his iue
gold watch and lot of change from his
pants pockets.
He then went to Mr.. Henry Dodge's
and succeeded in saving off one of the
window blinds, when he must have been
frightc1ed off.
At least he never entered the room.
From Mr.. Dodge's he went to Mr..
Charlie Newning's, and was skinning up a
gallery post to gain admission to SEQ
ondstory window when he was discovered
by some one in the house.
He promptly skinned down the post
again and made off with Mr.. Newning,
armed with an unloaded pistol, hard after
him.
Through the brush and over hill and
dale went the bold, bad robber, Mr.. New
ming and the unloaded pistol.
Never, in the dead hour of night, was
there such chase, and Mr.. Newnlng de-
voutly hopes there never will be again.
The bold robber escaped, and Mr.. New
ming, Disguised, returned to the house, and
sat up all night, alternating dismal, cross
cuss-words with the drawing out of briars,
thorns and such things from his body.
After his escape, the robber went to Mr..
Keessee's where he gained admission to a
room, but was discovered by an inmate OF
the room. Here good sight of him was
had. He is a white man, and in Mr..
Keessee's room carried a revolver in his
ham.
Suspicious characters have been about
the city for some days, and it will be well
for all to be on guard.

Smallpox News-The Hanks Case-An
Unforgtvlng Minority.
Special Telegram to ike Statesman.
DALLAS, January 22.-It is reported in
this city that there are over 800 cases of
smallpox in Denver, and the people are
considerably alarmed over it. To-day
Mayor Conner wired Mayor Broiles, of
Fort Worth, as to the situation and the
latter answered that he would use every
precaution to guard against the importa-
ton of the disease from Colorado.
A prominent member of the First
Baptist church informed the reporter
to-day that, Notwithstanding the recent
council and the vindioation of Doctor
Hanks, the minority or anti-Hanks mem
bers, at least some of them, had not ac-
cepted the verdict of the council in good
faith and we're again engaged in warfare
against the pastor. The informant says
that the vast majority of the congregation
will not submit to any more discourtesies
at the hands of the minority and if the
said minority INDUCES its spite further,
precipitate action will be taken by the
congregation.

Stuck in the Mud.

Mrs. t. j. Houston, who lives some
eight or ten miles southeast of the city, on
her way to town Saturday in a two-horse
buggy, stuck fast in the mud at three diff
ferent places and had to ride out on horse
back. In each case additional horses had
to be procured from neighbors to pull the
buggy from the mud. The last attempt
about pulled the vehicle to pieces, and it
had to be sent to the shop after reaching
town. 1t is evident that the county is
sadly in need of macadamized roads.

County Roads,

That the county needs and must have

covering the question. When such law

roads.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

For the County Commissioners to
Think Over.
1t would be good idea for the county
and city to join hands in the extension of
East Sixth street to the Montopolis bridge,
which Is nearing completion. Sixth street
is the direct outlet for the business por-
ton of the CITY, and has unsurpassed
natural advantages for being macadamized
and made superb thoroughfare. Steps
should be taken at once to have it put IN
shape and connected with the new bridge

A Live Question.

Magnificent as is the outlook IN the
new northwest-the two Dakotas,
Montana and Minnesota-the climate
initiates against it in the minds OF
some. The "rustlers' of this section
regard the swapping cold of winter as
simply "bracing," and go about their
business with an additional vim, but
many who were born and bred in
softer chimes are looking for country
where King Bereaiis does not hold
sway quite so long. TO such we
would say that Louisiana, Alabama,
Tennessee and Arkansas have plenty
of cheap and fertile lands, and win
ter climate unsurpassed in agreeable
softness. To reach any of these
states from the northwest "The Bur-
lington" is unquestionably the tav-
orite route, having its own line from
Minneapolis and st. Paul to both
Chicago and st. Louis, and an un'
rivalled equipment. For tickets, in.
formation, ETC., apply to your local
r. r. agent, or write to w. j. c.

Things Worth remembering

Innings worth remembering
That it is dangerous to stand near
a tall tree or splre during thunder
storm.
That the southwest corner of the
cellar is the ''cyclone safety point"
That there is no medicine so uni
versaily applicable to sickness as
fresh air ana sunshine.
That blowing out the gas before re-
firing Is funny--to everybody except
the one who tries It.
That YOU may swear as hard as you
please, but it will not remove grease
spots.
That the Wisconsin Central is the
most popular line between Mlnne-
apolis and st. Paul and Milwaukee
and Chicago.
That its fast train leaves Minne-
apolis daily at rs p. M, st. Paul at
7:l5 p. m, with through Pullman
sleepers, arriving In Milwaukee at
1857 and Chicago at 1859 the following
morning, serving breakfast In dining
car.

at home; End, give work to The labor
er; 3rd, enrich our county; 4th, assist
in paying taxes 5th, place Kandiyohi
county in the scroll of lame.
J. G. Forsberg stated that he had
investigated tie matter, and showed
to the audience the fibre of flax and
of hemp raised in this county. He
also showed Irvine manufactured Ivy
the new process out of flax raised in
Kansas, and assured his hearers that
he could manufacture as good Irvine
from the flax raised in this county rs
was shown in sample. Mr.. Forsberg
read letters from different parties in
regard to machinery. The first pro-
position for Irvine mill was $40, 900,
exclusive of mill and site. The next
proposition was $3.50 for plant, ex
elusive of mill and site, and the
manufacturer would guarantee that
the machine would turn out 1900
pounds of Irvine every 10 hours.
Mr.. Forsberg was quite in earnest
for the farmers to take hold of the
enterprise, as he firmly believed that
he could manufacture Irvine at from
6 to 7 cents per pound. The plan was
to organize as a stock company and
issue shares at $25 each. He wanted
all persons to come and take stock,
especially the farmers.
Meeting after some expressions, adj
journed for two weeks.

The Pomme de Terre Water
Power,

Since the breaking away of the dam
at Barrett the North Star and River
side mills have had plenty of water,
Notwithstanding the excessive drouth.
This suggests the idea that if q dam
was put across the Pomme de Terre a
short distance below Perkins lake, of
sufficient dimensions to hold the
water of the lake in reserve for use in
dry time, it would be an excellent
thing for all the mills On the Pomme
de Terre, south OF the lake. The
building Of this dam has been talked
of by the Messrs. Stone, Riverside
mill, and Mr.. johnson of the North
Star mill. These parties were willing
to pay their part of the expense, but
thought 1t only right that the pro-
| prietors of the mills at Appleton
should join with them in putting in
the dam and paying their share of the
| expense. This they refused to do,
and so the dam has never been built.
| AS to the amount of damage that
would be done by over-flowing OF
land, we are not sufficiently posted to
give an intelligent opinion, but don't
Imagine that it would be very heavy,
but of course this question cannot be
settled until a survey by competent
engineer is made. The fall from the
lake to the Riverside mill, a distance
of about6 miles, must be, we should
/ judge, some twenty-five or thirty feet
So far as the Riverside mill is CON
cerned 1t will not make any difference
4 whether there is any water power Of
not, now that the proprletors have II
8 their model engine and are prepared
i to run their mills by steam power
4 But we believe it is held that watel
3, power is superior to any other powe
for making good -four, and as long a
we can have plenty OF it at little ex
pense, we believe it is best to utiliz'
it.
