LOOTED THE MAILBAGs.
"A Mysterious Robbery at the
Union DeDot.

A most daring mail robbery was per-
petrated at the union depot early last
night. A most singular fact is that
nothing was known of the Incl
dent until about midight, when Officer
McGuiggan, in making his rounds, dis
covered two mail pouches in the alley
between RoSabel and Broadway streets,
not far from the union depot. Letters
were found scattered about in profusion.
The envelopes were torn opeE and the
contents spread around, part being
thrust back into one of the pouches.
Both pouches were cut across
the middle of one side with evil
IDENTIFY dull knife, and were
torn part Of the way. making large
hole in each. The officer gathered up
the scattered mail, consisting of letters,
postal cards, newspapers, magazines
and pair of slippers that had been
torn from the box they were in. and
tanned other articles. The whole were
placed in the pouches and taken to the
central station and subsequently to the
postoffice.
A GLOBE reporter went to the resi-
dence OF Superintendent of Mails o. ii.
Negaard and apprised him of the rob-
berry. He went to the office and in
spected the pouches. He stated that
both pouches contained mail made up
by route agents On the road before
reaching this city. One of them con-
tanned mail for Superior, Wis. and
reached st. Paul on the fast mail at As
yesterday afternoon. The other
contained mail for Bayfield,, Wis,
and came in ON the train that
reached here at p. IN. yesterday. They
both were made up on trains coming
from Chicago. Mr.. Negaard said that
neither pouch had contained registered
mail, but might have contained letters
with money in them and other valua-
bles not registered. The pouches had
probably been thrown on truck at the
union depot, and should have
gone to their destination on
the Omaha train that left st.
Paul at 9:35 last evening, but
were probably stolen before that hour.
Neither pouch mad been in the st. Paul
office. Mr.. Negaard expressed the view
that no great haul was made for the
reason that they were not registered
mail pouches.
There is no clue to, the perpetrators
of the robbery, or as to the time the
pouches were stolen. There is no
doubt. however, that they were taken
after dark and before 9:35. although
they were not found until midnight.

wiser than they knew. They have es-
tablished a lucrative industry, and
pointed the way to the seekers after the
higher and better ways IN the regula-
ton of perhaps the most interesting era
OF life. The requirements and methods
of the Dakota divorce system are set
forth in detail. Personal investiga-
ton, perhaps experience, has been
had of their possibilities. He has
known instances where the full-orbed
divorce, good in any state, has been
evolved in just ninety-two days. or a
few hours less; but he warns the eager
seekers for the article that, as rule,
those who come to the Dakotas for free
dom must expect TO spend from five to
six monthsi in notwithstanding climate"
The objections as TO quality are fully
met. Even Col. Il. G. INGERsoLL is
brought in TO indorse the article as good
in New York, where there has been
some prejudice on the subject. The
residence of ninety days, although for
the exclusive object of getting the
divorce, is supported by legal authori-
ties as all that is requisite. With the
aid of such presentations as that of the
Arena. the DakotaS should have pretty
nearly a monopoly of the divorce bust
ness.

The name of Seaman has been added

be nothing in the career of a successful
comedian which should make this Ca

statement of ex-senator ingalls, that he

death from overwork: and the pathos is
not lessened when he describes what
the overwork is. 1t consists, according
to ingalls,. in excessive correspondence,
business at the departments, committee

BANQUET TO HILL.
The Retiring Governor Speaks on
the DAYS Issues


ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 31.-David B.
HIPS term as governor Of the state ex-
pired tonight, and the event was
marked by dinner, at which Mr.. Hill
spoke words of farewell to some
$50 prominent persons, including the
state officials, Gevernor-elect Flower
and many prominent state Democrats.
He said that during the seven years he
had been in Albany there had been a
constant succession of victories to the
Democracy until now the entire state
government was Democratic. Speak
ing upon the wiSeSt course for the
Democracy to pursue in the present
congress Gov. Hill said in part: The
oyerturning of the billion dollar con-
gress by popular uprising will not
enable one new line to be written by
the present congress in the federal
laws. The Republicans, though quite
as powerless as wear to pass new laws,
can sit still, do nothing, yet keep
till the 4th of March, 1893, all they got
by the acts of billion dollar congress,
and the chance of saving thereafter
their main booty, their tariff for protec-
ton in place of tariff for revenue. The
peoples verdict last year upon
the billion dollar congress and
all of its works becomes nullity
unless the people of the United States
stick to their work and again next No
vember thunder forth the same just
verdict. Concluding. Gov. Hill said:
"New York will not follow the lead of
Nevada. New York Democrats care
nothing for the silver senators
and their protected commodity.
New York Democrats will new
er support any federal money
legislation save that that promotes the
nations return to the best money ever
known to mankind, namely: Gold and
silver, the only legal tender, as Tilden's
platform said in 1874, and these united
at fixed ration in free bimetallic coin
age with paper currency, which is
certificate of deposit of either coin."

to be willing to take the tail end of a
ticket with Gray, of Indiana. Morrison
or Palmer. of Illinois, Boies. of Iowa, or
to reverse the operation. When the
Democracy considers that he barely
pulled through at the election in No

lature of the Bay State are Republi-
cans, Gov. Russell will be counted as q

basket.-NeW York Press.

DAKoTA's GREAT CHANCE.

A writer in the January Arena gives
the divorce industry in the Dakotas
send-off that will be likely to bring TO
those progressive young states new vol
umeS of this kind of business from the
East. 1t may be noted that he shows
that the statutory provisions are pre-.
ciSely the same in this matter in each of
the Dakotas. Consequently, the appar-
ent prestige South Dakota enjoys is not
due to any legal facility not shared by
tie sister state. The writer JAMES
BEALY Jr., is an enthusiastic admirer
OF the DakotaS as the land of easiest
freedom from the CALLING chains
of unfortunate matrimony. Their
divorce laws are san unfading honor"
and to-day make North and South
Dakota the banner states OF human prog
ress." This is established by table
showing the length of the desertion and
residence requisite for divorce i'm the
states and territories that have the most
liberal provisions. These are found to
be nearly all in the West, and suggest

laws are promoter of morality. and a

conclusion. as the result of conscien-
tious study of domestic relations, is "that
