An Express Company Robbed.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The Northern
Pacific express company's office, 81
Dearborn street, was robbed of 81, 400
Saturday. Two of the clerks were in
the Office at the time working on the
books. There are conflicting stories
as to how the robbery was done. One
of the clerks tells the following: A
masked thief gained an entrance
through the door that leads off the
alley and, after chloroforming one of
the clerks, knocked the other to the
floor with a blow from a Jimmy"
He then broke open the money-draw-
er and took every dollar that it con-
tanned. Stuffing the currency into a
bag he hastily left the building by a
rear-door and made his escape down
the dark alley. No arrests have been
made. The clerks story is not gen
orally credited.

IT has been proposed to the Chica.
goans that in their Worlds Fair they
have grand archaeological exhibition
OF the original people of America. The

OF an exhibit would easily take first
place. Then there would be the con :
'trlbutions of the cliff dwellers, the
tAztecs, the Eskimos and all the other
historic and prehistoric races that
were masters of this continent long
before ''pale face" had crossed the
Atlantic. There is no doubt that if
this suggestion were properly carried
out it would prove one OF the great
attractions as well as one of the de-
cided novelties of the fair.

In an address delivered to the
academy of sciences in Columbia col
lege. Sergeant Dunn, of the United
States signal service at New York. ad-
vanced the theory that the two open
winters and cool wet summers which
the country has just experienced are
indicative of a permanent change OF
climate, which will extend the warm
belt from the Potomac northward to
Maine. His theory of the two mild
winters and wet summers is very sim
pie and appears to be borne ait by the
facts.

THE one branch of government in
which the people of this country have
conspiculously failed is in the local
government of cities We have. on
the whole, managed the national and
state branches of our government af-

almost without exception. wretcbedly
mismanaged. 1t will be very difficult

SEVERAL epidemics of typhoid fevel
have been caused in Switzerland, by
the delivery of impure buttermilk to
consumers. In London in 1886, an
epidemic OF scarlet fever was traced to
a similar cause, and analogous fac is
are reported from Hanover and
Sweden. The danger however, was
avoided. since to bring the liquid to a
boil and keep it so for five minutes
deprives it of all contagious properties
of this sort.

CHICAGO, July IA local paper

the English syndicate, which has
bought up a number of the largest

the smaller breweries, and the result
of the fight so far has been the drop
ping of prices from IS to $3.50 per
barrel. Outside brewers are inaugur-

The number of physicians who con.
tend that pulmonary consumption is
contagious appears to be increasing.
They and their many followers also
hold that the milk OF cows suffering
from the disease contains the bacteri a
of tuberculosis, and that there is
danger of infection from this cause.
Statistics on the subject are yet too
incomplete and uncertain to enable us
TO draw positive conclusions. We
know, however. that the number of
cows so diseased is increasing.

General Fremont Dead.

New YORK, July 14.-General
Charles Fremont, the first candidate of
the republican party for president, died
at the home of his adopted daughter
the wife OF Colonel H. NJ. Porter, No.
40 West Twenty-fifth street, at $3.50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Death
was due to inflammation of the bowels.
There were present at his bedside at
his demise, his son, Lieutenant j. c.
Fremont of the navy, and his physi-
clan, DIR. William j. Morton. His
sickness was of comparatively short
duration, and dated in its first stages
from the excessive heat of last Tues
day. The following day wednesday,
he experienced some pain, and Thurs
day was worse, but did not complain.
Matters assumed so much worse a turn
on Friday that he sent for a physician.
The doctor advised the sick man to
take sail and get a little fresh air.
While he was out on the water he
got a bad chill, and Friday night
he sent for DIR. Morton again.
On the following morning Saturday
the disease developed enough to show
its true neutrality-suspicious.
even then the case was not considered
dangerous, and dispatch to that effect
was sent to Seabright. Final dissolu-
ton was sudden. The general was
II years and 6 months old to a dav. at
the time of his death.

Ravages by a Cyclone.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July IA few
moments before 5 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon clouds which had been threat
ening a storm began to collect over
the region of Lake McCarron, two or
three miles north of this city, soon
taking on a rotary motion and the ter
rible appearance of a cyclone.
Hundreds of citizens watched the
clouds as they swept together and fol-
lowed their course to the northwest,
in which direction many friends had
gone to spend the day at some of the
many little lakes scattered over the
country. Anxiety for absent ones
drew many down during the evening
to learn the first possible particulars
of what was thought would be undoubt-
edly disastrous storm.
A young man drove in from Lake
Coleman soon afterwards with the in
formation that at least two persons
were killed and over one hundred in
jured at that point. He had been out
with "a young lady friend, and. having
gone after buggy to drive home, on
his return to where she had been stand
ing he found his companion seriously
injured by the storm which had sud
denly come up.
Other reports followed thick and
fast, each being IL little worse than
what had preceded it.
To the north and east of the city
there are great number of little
lakes, which are sought by multitudes
every Sunday, and on the shores of
these lakes many campers pass the
hot months OF the summer. Lake
Coleman is one of these and the dam
age there was very heavy.
George Miller, teller of the First
national bank, was killed.
When the storm struck the little
lake the boathouse was lifted up bod
lily and overturned in the water, and
boatload of persons given similar
treatment. Other buildings were de-
molished or badly wrecked.
Passing from the starting point the
cyclone struck Lake Johanna, Lake
Gervais, Lake Vadnais, Little Canada
and passed on route for miles east
of White Bear lake.
The place where the cyclone struck
the ground and caused the loss of life
was on the shore of Lake Gervais,
where j. ii. Schurmier of this city
had a summer cottage and where Simon
Good was also located. A funnel
shaped cloud swooped down on them
and demolished dwellings and a num-
Der of other buildings in the same
neighborhood.
The camp of Colonel Helleser of
this city, whore there was a large par
ty, was blown down, but the party all
escaped injury. In the wreck of Schur-
micr and Goods houses, however, five
were killed and ten injured.
laboratories from Lake Gervaise
indicate that the loss of life at that
point may reach fifty. The most
alarming news comes from the keeper
of the boat house. This man saws he
let out in the afternoon at least fifteen
boats. None of these had less than
two occupants and some three or four.
Since the fearful storm passed over the
lake no trace of the boats or unfortu-
nate passengers has been found.
