A Bold Highway Robbery.

A dispatch from Minneapolis,
Mimi, says: The boldest, most sue
cessful and most reckless highway rob-
berry ever attempted in this city oc-
Cured in the glaring light OF day
last Tuesday morning, and has just
come to light. Henry Hage came
here TO be married Tuesday morn
ing Hage left the house for the
purpose of getting shaved. He found
no one at the shop and started home
ward. Soon afterward he was accos-
ted by a stranger who told him he
was a barber and would take him to
his house and shave him. Hage ac-
companied him, and they had pro-
ceeded but a short distance when the
newly-made acquaintance dashed a
quantity of vitriol in Hayes face.
Hage was then taken out in the
woods by the robber and his accom-
plices. After robbing him of about
$50 900 the brutes bound him hand
and foot and tied him to tree. Hage
remained in the woods unconscious,
bound and helpless for three days.
Friday he succeeded in freeing him
self and wandered home. He had not
vet regained consciousness and may
become permanently deranged.
There is no clue to the thieves.
The 500. 600 of which he was robbed
was in the form of two negotiable
drafts, one on a Milwaukee and the
other on a New York bank"

STRAIGHT TALK.

Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, made
a notable Fourth of July speech be-
fore the Tammany Society of New
York last week. 1t was full of en-
courageinent to the country and to
the Democrats. "Our government,
he said, has no history apart from
the history OF the Democratic party.
Their relations have been so closely
interviewer that they have a common
fame and a common destiny. Other
parties have sprung into being and
have disappeared. Other parties have
sought TO establish permanent foot
hold i'm the affections and confidence
of the people, but the Democratic
party alone can boast that its crea-
ton was coeval almost with the foun-
dation of the government, and that
to-day, after an existence OF nearly
one hundred years, its supporters
constitute large majority OF the
voters i'm this country, as was shown
at the last presidential election. In
making this statement Mr.. Eustis
had reference to the fact that, al
though Mr.. Cleveland was not re-
elected under our system of presi-
dental electors, he had majority of
a hundred thousand on the popular
vote. SO strongly is the Democratic
party entrenched in the hearts OF the
people, he said, that mo party will
ever live to write its epitaph. As by
the power of its irresistible earnest
ness it destroyed the federalists, the
whig and the know nothing parties,
so il will. ultimately, dislodge and
destroy the Republican party" The
reasons why it will live and ultimately
conquer its old ascendancy are thus
boldly and clearly stated. 1T is be-
cause Mr.. Eustis went on to say, 1T
has always been the mission OF the
Democratic party TO protect the peo-
pie against the overshadowing intlu-
ence and dangerous preponderance OF
the money power Our party has
never sought to array classes against
classes. which was favorite scheme
of the ancient democracies and led TO
their destruction. The Democratic
party has never waged war against
wealth. 1t is only when wealth has
been misused has sought to estab-
lish its political ascendancy, to con-
troll the government, to imperil the
liberties of the people, to corrupt the
citizen. to undermine public morality,
that the Democratic party has mar
shaded its hosts TO battle against the
greatest danger that can threaten the
republic Admitting its defeat at the
last election. Mr.. Eustis looks 10 the
future with absolute confidence. 1t
has been at all times the party of the
people. Its record is unstained by
either the theft or the purchase of the
presidency. Ever watchful of
the peoples rights and interests, and
seeking as it does to bring them into
closer bonds of fraternity" its exist
ence, Mr. Eustis predicts, will be CO.
extensive with that of the govern
ment itself

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor--If you will allow me
small space in your paper, l will write
few brief lines. The papers OF the
county have shown an interest in the
cause of education in our public
schools, and as the season for the
Teachers County Institute is nigh
at hand, | would most earnestly call
the attention of the public TO this
work. 1t is feared that too little
thought is given the work in the pub
lie schools, but when we realize the
fact that a majority of the youth of
our county depend upon the public
schools for an education, 1t Is then
that we should put our strength in
the work, that the schools should re-
ceive the motive power that Is due to
them for this purpose. And that
school officers and patrons might bet
ter understand each other, | do APP
point Wednesday morning, July nth
lat the Instituted, School Officers
DAY. with the following topics: LIST,
What are the advantages resulting
from public schools, from a hearty
cooperation, between the school Off
GERS and the teachers? 2nd, What
are the true tests of a good teacher,
and how may such teachers be Sc
cured and retained in the work
These are important questions, for the
future men and women of our county
depend upon your hearty co-opera-
ton in this work. We have the priv
ilege, too, of meeting together, not
only to discuss the above named top
les, but other subjects also. Yes, my
friends, let us meet at the time APP
pointed, that we might strengthen
each other in this apparently inslg-
nificant but | would say very impor-
tant work. 1t is true, il is a very
busy season of the year, but half
day spent i'll this will be time well
spent.

One Girl Elopes with Another.

Two girls of Emma, Col, having
fallen in love with each other, have
eloped. One is Miss DIETRICH, the
postmaster and general storekeeper
at Emma, and the other Miss Ora
Chatfield, both nieces of |. w. Chat
field, a well-known Colorado politician.
A month or more ago Ora Chatfield
was suffering so from nervous pros
tration that the matter was lnvesti
gated, and it was ascertained that she
was madly in love with Miss DIETRICH,
with whom she was living. The two
were torn apart, and II warrant was
procured in Aspen for the arrest of
the elder girl, with an intention to
have an investigation made as to her
sanity.
Many interesting love letters have
passed between the pair. They are
supposed to be in Denver, but have
not yet been found. Miss DIETRICH is
blonde, twenty-four years Of age,
tall, with a good figure and command
ing presence Miss Chatfield is but
about fifteen years of age, rather
slender, and of delicate physique.
She is, however, remarkably hand
some girl, and would attract attention
anywhere. She appears to recipro-
cate the affection of her older COM
panion and her letters to the latter
are signed Hubby" and filled with
the most maudlin kind of sentiment

That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described In the nursery ballad, who "lived
upon nothing but victuals and drink and
vet would never be quiet" was undoubtedly
troubled with chronic Indigestion. Her
victuals, like those of many other elderly
persons whose digestive powers have become
impaired, didn't agree with her. This was
before the era of Hostetter S stomach Bttters,
or some one of her numerous friends and
relatives would undoubtedly have persuaded
her To try the great specific for dyspepsia,
constipation and billiousness. This would
have been measure of self-protection on
theiI part, for she would soon have been
cured and ceased to disturb them with her
clamor. The most obstinate cases of indiges-
ton with its attendant heartburn, fiatu-
lence. constant uneasiness of the stomach
and of the nerves, are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. Chills and fever
and bilious remittent. rheumatism and Kid
ney troubles are also relieved by 1t.
