One vault contains about S., 600, 600 of
national bank notes held for redemption,
and another S., 1000, 600 or so of mixed money
held for the same purpose. If the tunnelers
could get into these vaults they might be
able to run away with some paper which
they would be able to dispose of, and the
same is true of the leash vault" in which
an average of 81, 000, 900 is deposited nightly
of the money used in the daily business of
the department. But these vaults are very
difficult of access and at least two of them
could not be reached by tunneling, as an
entire floor, lighted and patrolled, is be-
the treasury stands.
The richest harvest robbers could find in
the treasury is in the gold vault, where an
average of s27, 0OO, 900 in gold coin is stored.
Forty thousand dollars in gold weighs a
little less than $50 pounds, and Il gang of
burrowers might get away with several
millions of this precious metal, and, hay
ing made their escape, dispose of the booty
without much danger of detection. Gold
is easily passed, and it is safe to keep. 1t
can be melted up and a market is ready
for it in any part of the world. The gold
vault is a rich prize. but if any enterpris-
ing burglars read this letter, and by it find
their daring and their energies stimulated,
l shall do them the kindness of whispering
in their ears that the gold vault and several
OF the other vaults in the treasury are pro-
tected by electric wires connected with the
alarm gongs in Captain Cobaugh's office.
How Inundated an enterprising burglar
would be when, after months of labor,
danger and hardship, he had at last bur-
rowed his way to the bottom of the gold
vault and had the yellow treasure al
most in his grasp, a bell were to be set
ringing in the watchmen's armory and q
score of grim, we'll armed men were sta
toned within the vault whence the alarm
had come, ready to seize him by the hair Of
the head the instant he succeeded in effect
ing an entrance!
The danger to the treasury is not from
without, but from within. This is shown
by the fact that the only robbery of i'm
portance that ever took place in the build
ing was of a package of $500 notes contain
ing $47,5OO, which was passed out to a con-
federate by a clerk employed in the CASH
room. More than half of the money was
recovered. When he was treasurer Mr..
Huston, of Indiana, told me that no system
could be devised by which the United
States would be free from the danger of a
loss of two or three million dollars some
day. "But the robbers will have to be
treasury employees" he added, and not
outsiders. OF all the men in my Office only
five OF six are permitted to enter the
vaults. No one is permitted to enter alone.
Two must go together. Suppose these two
men to be in collision, with a confederate
outside. They could slip a million or 80
apiece under their coats and return to their
work. The absence of the money might
NOT be discovered for several days, possibly
not for several weeks. In that time the
thieves could travel to q foreign country"

AT THE MAIN o o

But the guards could not be overpow-
cred by any ordinary force. At night the
treasury is guarded by a carefully organ-
lied squad of watchmen, numbering from
80 to 100 men. The armory, which Captain
Cobaugh delights to show his visitors, is
formidable enough in appearance to strike
terror to the heart of the most desperate
burglar. On the wall at one end of the
armory hangs a torn United States flag,
about which sad memories cling. 1t is tho
nag which ornamented the box at Ford's
theater in which President Lincoln sat
when he was shot by Wilkes Booth-the
flag which caught the foot Of the assassin
and threw him as he ieaped to the stage.
Captain Cobaugh has his force well in
hand. Electric signals run throughout
the building, and as the watchmen patrol
the long, gloomy corridors Of the immense
building they are able at all times and

Fun in Town Meeting.

A town warrant was tackled upon the
school house door in a neighboring town
recently ordering a town meeting for some
issue therein stated. Some wag, noticing
1t, added among the articles of the meet
ing, "And to see how much the town will
appropriate to have Jim Blanks hair cut"
meaning a we'll known character whose
hair had never been cut. The article was
read by the moderator in a businesslike
manner with the rest, and he inquired
what action would be taken on it before
he discovered anything wrong. Jim was

Emmons County Suicide.

Editor Streeter was in the city yester-
day and brought the news of another
sad suicide in Emmons county. For
some time past Jane Dickson, wife of
Archibald Dickson, has not lived hap
PLY with her sister, who came from Scot
land about a year ago and married a
brother of Archibald Dickson. About
2:3O o'clock last Saturday afternoon Jane
Dickson returned home from a visit to
her sister and taking a revolver from the
trunk started toward her sisters house,
but went back home, and telling her
S-year-old son to go out and feed the
COWS, and when he came back, if she did
not speak to him to go over to Williams
port and get the sheriff. The boy started
to obey his mother, but when at the cor
ner OF the house he heard a pistol shot
and returned to find his mother lying on
the floor in a pool of blood, shot through
the head. The deceased lived about
three-quarters of a mile northeast of
Wllliamsport, and before the boy could
get help she was dead. The deceased
was within a few days of confinement.
1t is thought she was temporarily insane
at the time of taking her life. It is only
about two months since Mrs. Fuller COM
mitted the same deed zeal the deceased,
and she has been brooding over the
crime at intervals, yet it was not thought
she would try to take her life. For six
months past she and her sister have
quarreled often, and this has also been a
source of much trouble, which, combined
with others, finally impelled her to end
all earthly trouble.

A Rebel" School Book.

Mr. E. A. Williams has a copy of the
rebel school book, which some person
sought to introduce into the Man
dan schools. It is a work of 4O7 g
printed in New Orleans, and published
In 1879. It can be clearly seen that it's
Introduction years ago into the schools
of the south did not meet with very
much public approval, for a second edi
ton was never called for. It looks very
much as though the parties in the south,
who were loaded down with copies of the
old edition, 'stood in" with somebody in
our sister city. The chief speeches in
the book are made by such worthless as
jeff Davis, Lamar, Timrod, Toombs,
Johnston and other fire eating south
rons. Most of the speeches were made
during the civil conflict, and Immediate
~ after-when the blood of the speakers
was hot. Many of those whose speeches
were to be served up to the Mandan youths
would repudiate the sentiments to-day.
One of the orations, for example, claimed
the north furnished the ~victors, and the
south the heroes. Another declared that
liberty and all the principl es dear to
honest men were tramplei under feet
by the north.
The Mandan school board knew moth
ing about the book until the children
had 1T in their hands. They had in
structed Principal Fleming to procure a
reader for the advanced pupils, and
he procured this. His motive for select
ing this book cannot be accounted for.

Three Hundred Missing,

Devils Lake Inter- Ocean: Three
hundred dollars is a nice little wad of
money and a person who lost that sum
has a right to be considered unfortunate.
Station Agent jerks is out just that
amount and exactly how it happened he
does not yet clearly understand. Satur-
day morning when the train came in
from the east he receipted to the ex-
press messenger for a certain number of
packages, among the rest being an en-
velope of ordinary size, sent from Fargo
to the Merchants National bank, and
containing fifteen new, crisp 500 silver
certificates. Mr.. jerks did not know at
the time that there was money in the
package and placed 1t on the table in the
ticket office with a number of other
packages, instead of putting it in the
safe, as is his usual custom. Shortly
after he went to dinner, remaining away
about As minutes, and when he returned
the package was gone. One of the win.
dows to the Office was without a lock
and he thinks that some n must have
taken advantage of this and gone
through the office. Nothing except the
envelope with the money was missing.
The loss falls or Mr.. jerks. He says he
has handled express for twenty years
ard this is his first loss.
