A DEVIL CAST OUT
Of a Dumb Man, 10 Centuries Ago
Caused Multitudes to Marvel! The
Devil of Drunkenness Successfully
Cast Out Today is the Nine
teenth Century Miracle and
Marvel.

Whatever the uncertainty as to the
nature of the devil cast out of men
nineteen hundred years ago, there is
no uncertainty as to the kind of a
devil with which many men are pos
sessed in this day and age in the world.
There is not namable crime posi-
BILE to be committed by man of which
he does not stand guilty through the
satanic influence and power of the
devil of strong drink. There are I'M
told thousands of men in the world
today who are bound hand and foot;
mind and soul, as the direct result
of the liquor habit, the majority of
whose cases are hopeless unless kind
friends will interest themselves in
their cases. But the devil of strong
drink can be cast out if one will 60

many so-called cures for drunkenness!

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

The meeting of the Board of Trade
Monday was short :one. w. NJ.
Farr suggested that the citizens should
have something to say as to the in
terror finish and arrangement of the
public building, as they have had in
other cities, notably in Winona, where
the plans were not accepted and new
plans to their satisfaction were pre-
pared. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that this would be right and
proper, and the following committee
was selected for the purpose as repre-
senting the city, by the board: R. D..
Hubbard, chairman, W. M. Farr, J. A.
Willard, G. H. Higgs and Jno. F..

anime the plans when they arrive and
after consulting with Postmaster Nc
Cornell and experimenting Architect
Thayer will make such suggestions as
to changes and Improvements as they
deem best.

ting suggestions from it's readers as to
a national song. ''The Star-Spangled
Banner" seems to have the strongest
existing claim to that honor, but one
young person, who objects to the
words but thinks well of the music,
makes the novel proposition to fit the
words "My Country ills of The" to the
music of "The Star-Spangled Banner"

RUMORS DENIED.

Reports have been in circulation
that the robbers who recently held uI
an Omaha train near Kasota and
went through the express Car were
successful and that the story of the
messengers concealing the money was
concOcted in order to carry out the
established policy of the company in
denying that it was robbed. Agent
Drake states that there is no truth in
this report, and the same denial is
made by the Omaha officials. Mr.
Drake states that the agent left
packages amounting to $4,000 at Ka
sofa Immediately after the attempt OF
robbery. and that he had 81, 900 fol
stations further south, making $4,000
which he had in his possession.
The messenger, it seems, did not
throw the money packages behind the
safe or anywhere else, but held the
packages behind his back with one
hand while the robbers made the
search.
1t is reported that several de.
tectives, including one or more from
Pinkerton's agency, spent a number
of days in this city and at ST. Peter
Kasota and other adjacent points fer
reting out the case. They have fin,
ished their work, and what clues they
found, if any, are known only to them
selves. They found the revolver which
the messenger was forced to throw
away, and also the empty cartridge
which had been fired at the brake.

conducted very similarly to that at

at the residence of his parents on
Fullerton avenue, South Riverside,
California.
Mr.. Lilly was in his 29th year and
has been in i'll health for some
months, but his death was very un-
expected by everyone except those
two weeks of his illness. He was
born in the east and lived in Manka-
to, Mimi, nearly all his life until he
came to South Riverside over two
and a half years ago. On arriving
here he purchased property and i'm
proved it and in March, 1891, he went
into the drug and grocery business
with r. +. Billings in which he con-
tinued until his death.
Mr.. Lilly was a man whom every
one respected and his loss is all the
greater on that account, and his

Mr.. Lilly was an old Mankato boy
and has many friends in the city, who
regret his death and sympathize with
the family in their affection. He
was an excellent young man and
when seen by the writer few months
ago was apparently enjoying excellent
health and accompanied him on a
forty-mile ride across the country.
While in Mankato he assisted his
father and brother in civil engineer
ing. He was quiet and unassuming,
and well liked by all who knew him.
At South Riverside he had an excel
lent start in business and was a
prominent and respected citizen.

will fail to carry their pet measure Of
home rule in the form insisted upon by
Mr.. Gladstone, and that fresh appeal

time, the Tories hope, the hearts of the
masses will be SO filled with disgust at
the subordination of the English issues
to the demands of Ireland that the Con-

OPPOSE FREE COINAGE.
A Minority Report Against the Passage of
the Stewart Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The members
of the minority of the coinage, weights
and measures committee, have made a
report to the house through Stone, of
Pennsylvania, showing their views Of
the Stewart free coinage bill. The re-
port states that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by this country alone
would inevitably destroy the power of
the government to maintain credit and
the silver dollar must fall to its value.
The inevitable result of the disappear
ance Of gold from our currency and our
descent to a monometallic silver basis
would be the scaling down of the wages
of labor and increase in trust funds and
savings deposits. 1t would foster dis
trust, hamper credit and result in the
general decentralization of business en-

 The stage from Prescott which rolled

Two of tGem were a youngman named Charles D1llinger and young la;y named Blanche Blaine. When the stage reached Boggs' smeltsr on Tuesday morning a light valse vas showed in and the driver told that the owner of the vallse YVES waiting at May CTS station, mic below. At the sta tioD the passengers alighted and enter ed the eating house where they saw a young man of perhaps 26 seated on sofa and beeIde hun was young girl of Is. They were eUEaged in au earnest and nervous compensation. Tine young man was the owner of tke valise put on at the smelt-r. When the stage vas ready to start the couple prepared to get on but some objection was made by tne passengers on the score that the vehicle was already crowded.
 "Oh let them get en-" said an old lady standing near, "the old mans after them with a ehotPun," and other re- marks made by friends and seeming absttors led to the conclusion that the parties, who were Dolliuger and Mss Blaine, had planned an elopement and that the girls ste epfather, a man named ScGriett, of honicldal tendencies, was liable te appear at any moment. The | couple had left the smelter early in the l having instructed their frl- ends to look after their luggage and l had stolen unobserved to the station. | The passengers naturally took a sym- pathetic interest in tte pair and made | room for them. Dollinger carried a shotgun, evidetly for the purpose of re- plying to any possible objections of his but unwilling, father-in- aw. After they had travelled consId- | srable distance, a galloping man was soon approaching in the distance and lEe nervousness of the couple vas visi- ole increased. The young man clutched .is shotgun more firmly, which action Eas not lost upon the passengers who became eXpectant of an early assault lpon tae stage. The horseman came !. nearer and the girl straining her eyes a3fuljy exclaimed.

GEN. M'COOK'S REPORT.
He Recomra ends the Division of the
 Navajo RosorrsisIOn.

The report of Gen. McCoob, command
 ing the Department of Arizona which has just been received by the War De- partment, deals largely with the condi- tions surrounding the Indians on the NavGjJ Reservation.
 These con litions, the report says, are a constant source of anxiety to the In dian Bureau, and the army and civil authorities of Arizona and New Mexico. There are 5000 Indians living beyond the limits of ths reservation; they have been living upon unsurveyed lands for generations and claim the locations as their homes.
 Gen. McOook says ID order to aseist these people the reservation should be divided into districts and army officers sent into each district and make eXami- nations with a view to the establish mept of irrigation ana developing the supply of water by Rrtesian wells, etc. Gen. McCook suggests the above plan in the interest of peace, for confiict.with 'heseeIndians, who are 10 great num- bers and well armed, would be q very serious busi6ess.
 The report dwells at length upon h. dian depredations and especially the conduct of "Kfd," the San Carlos Apache and refugee. His escRpedes, Gen. Me Cook says, have caused great anxiety to the white people living on the border of the White Mountain Reservation, ss we'll as to the Indians who live upon it. The Kid killed many persons during May and June of this year, but every plan to entrap the willy sborigIne has failed. He is still at large, aud liable to do more mischief and murder at any time. Gen. McCook does not offer any suggestions for lis capture.
