If Sierra Leone Richards. that COM

returned to MINNEAPOLIS a couple OF
days after his departure. or if he had
informed some one by letter or tele-
graph that he would do so. his former
friends here would be inclined to think
that he was not quite so dark as paint
ed. But he didn't. They have at last
lost all hope for him. 1t begins to look
as If he really intended to do

his case Is p0ndeTed. the more it looks
rs II his acts were but incidents in
carefully cOncOcted plot, not the hasty
prOmpungs OF mind beset by difficult
ties. For Instance:
Richards came 10 Minneapolis in
June. 1880. BY September he had be-
come acquainted with a considerable
number of people. In that beautiful
month the first death occurred in his
family. as he Told it, From
that time until he left Min
neapolis the death rate in
various branches of the Richards fam
lily was appalling His brother. his
brothers WITe. his brothers two chill
dren. his mother. all went ''Over the d.
vide. That is. Richards said so. And.
while they were being thus summarily
disposed of. Sierra Leone was dropping
illusions to the wealth of each. 1t all
came to him when they were finally con-
signed to the grave. Now it looks as if
Richards had planned all that when he
hrst came 10 Minneapolis. Could
inc have gone away quietly
last week. Ostensibiy to bury
bis mother and settle UP her estate, he
would probably have returned 10 Min
neapOlis and repeated the financia! OD-
erations which gave him reputation in
EastOn. Pa. But some of his MInueap-
oils creditors were suspicious. His
game was blocked. He never mad a
chance TO prove the quality of his pud-
ding.
Its also possible that Richards took
more money out OF Minneapolis than
has been supposed. He was intimate
with several prominent real estate
men. His prospective wealth opened
10 HIM the heart OF the eX-
proprietor of the Tribune. Through
that heart he made many valuable
acQuaintances. 1t is whispered that at
least one prominent dirt dealer lost 5000
and another $500 on the death" of
Richards relatives. And they hadn't
been gambling on the lease OF life Of
those relatives. either. At least one

afternoon they met at Elks' hall on

the order maintained that there was no
special business before them: that thew
merely came together to have a good
time ana TO get acquainted with one an

ever. This meeting had a bearing upon
the annual convention of the O. r. c.
which will be held next month. Just
what was done none of the conductors

the Southwestern conductors will be

Big Mine on Fire.

HANCOCK. Mich. April 1.-THE
Pewabic mine is still on fire with a
change for the worse since Yesterday.
The Quincy Mining company has
stopped up the draft connecting them
with the Pewabic property and they
have resumed work. The Franklin
mine is connected with the PeWabic in
SO many places that it is impossible to
stop the mouths of all the drafts. 1t is
thought that the Pewabic will be
greatly damaged by the burning away
of her supporting timbers and the de-
struction of the main engine shaft and
equipments. Some 500 men are out of
work.

Freezinr ,,ut the Ant..

The inhabitants of cold clilnatrs ha~a
little idea of the ferceness of the coufiict
which has been carried on from time inns
memorial between man and the ant
tribe, and can hardly appreciate the tex-
traordinary capacity shown by these
tireless insects in their depredations'
upon the human race. In the tropics no
satisfactory remedy has, yet been der
vised by which the balancesof advantage,
always in favor of the ant as against
man. can be overcome, and the insigmh-
cant looking insect, by force of numbers,
industry and perseverance. is master of
the situation.
Even in more temperate regions like
some parts of our southern states ants
are troublesome enemies. 1t is suggested
that ants may be frozen out of existence
by means of cask of the freezing MKT
ure used by engineers in excavating in
quicksands fixed over the entrance of the
nest, the other entrances being closed
with clay, with a tube placed in the
hole also well packed with clay. The
pressure from the head of liquid would,
it is claimed, be sufficient to drive the
freezing mixture down into the furthest
recesses of the ants galleries, which
would almost instantly become lined
with solid ice, or, at all events, would be
made SO cold that no ant, however tena-
cious of life it might be. could long sur
vive the exposure.
These freezing mixtures are not very
expensive, and it is possible that the
progress of science has here achieved a
victory in the interest of man for which
so many generations have contended in
vain.-Garden and Forest

THE ENcAMPMENT A SUCCESS.

1t is with feelings of very great pleas
ure that we are able to record the fact
that the encampment of the third regi-
ment o. n. G.. is a complete success.
All the difficulties and annoyances
which met the commanding officer while
making preparations for the encamp
ment have vanished, and each member
of the regiment takes pride in the fine ap-
pearance of the men and in the fact that
in the exhibition of military training
and discipline they are second to no
other regiment in the state. However
near or far off it may be, the time has
not yet come when our nation can afford
to beat her swords into plowshares and
her spears into pruning hooks. In these
days when nations to often watch each
other like vultures lowering over their
prey, to be well prepared for war, in
case of dire necessity, is the best pre-
ventive of that dread arbitrament. A
standing army is un-American and un-
popular. The militia is our true AIneri-
can soldiery. Its millions of patriotic
brothers are our strength for peace or
engaged to murder and slay for daily
wage, but men whose interests are all
concerned in maintaining internal peace
as well as resenting foreign intrusion.
A militia is no menance to the main
tainance of our institutions. 1t is their
strength and bulwark. 1t deserves
therefore, the liberal encouragement and
support of the state. Besides, there is
no better training for young men than
that obtained in military service. The
discipline of trained subsection to law
and rule is immensely valuable. So far
is this recognized that certain forms of
military training have become a part
and parcel of liberal education, while,
from a physical point of view, young
men are greatly benefited by being
trained to stand erect and maintain the
manly bearing of soldier, instead of
indulging in the slouchy gait that beget
rounded shoulders and contracted
chest. For ourselves we are proud of
our militia and insist that it is the duty
of the state to give it more generous
recognition
