A Bold Robbery.

A daring robbery wes committed in
Watertown a few nights ago by some
unknown party or parties, the victims
being Schulz & Co., grocers. From the
statement oi Mr.. Charles Schulz, the son
OF one of the proprietors. it seems that
about II o'clock at night while he was
placing the books in the safe for the
night some II slipped up behind him
and struck him on the back OF the head
with n hatcIiet, knocking him senseless,
and then proceeded to rife the safe.
There was only a small amount of cash
in the safe ut the time, somewhere in the
neighborhood OF $24, which the tobber
secured.
Mr.. Schulz lay in an unconscious condi.
ton until morning, when his brother
discovered him lying with his head inside
the safe at about . o'clock. No trace
has been found cf The prspctrator. Mr..
Schulz il not thought to be seriously
injured and is around attending to bust
ness as usual.
LATEn:-Tlle affair '.as now token a
new turn, which is rot very com
plimentary to the young man Schulz.

were arranged in parallel lines. There
are now forty-four stars In The Union.

a TEETH.
How Nature Makes . Chisel That
Always Keeps sharp.

AS in every ''gnawer' the beavers
skull is armed with two long, chisel-
like teeth in each jaw, says a writer In
st. Nicholas. These teeth are exceed.
ingly powerful, and are to q beaver
what an ak is to O woodsman. One,
such tooth taken from the lower jaw
of a medium-sized skull (they can be re-
moved without difficulty, unlike the
most Of ours) Is bent into nearly q
semi-circle and measures five inches
along its outer curve Only one inch
of this length projects from the skull.
The corresponding one from the upper
law ia bent into more than q CON-
plete half circle and measures upon
its outer face four inches, Of which less
than an inch protrudes from its bone
casing. In width each tooth is FIVE
eighths of an inch. Examination Of one
of them reveals the secret Of how
q beaver can perform such feats as
chopping down a birch tree sixteen
riches in diameter, not to speak of
softer woods like the Eastwood, Of
much greater size. The tooth Is COM
pos,ccd of two materials. Along the
outer lice Of front of the tooth ii q
thin plate Of exceedingly hard enamel;
on the inner, forming the body Of the
tooth, is a substance called dentine,
being softer, wears away with Use;
the thin enamel remains comparatively
unworn, SO that the tooth assumes the
shape of n keen chisel that never grows
dull. The tooth is hollow at the base
for half its length and is filled with Il
nourishing substance which keeps it.
constantly growing. Thus. not only Is.
the natural wearing away provided
against, but u certain amount of wear.
becomes an actual necessity. With such
instruments the beaver is admirably
fitted for obtaining its 'aAtura. food,
the bark of shrubs and trees.

Important Decision.

A Especial dispatch from Pierre saws the

the emergency clause requiring attorneys
who desire to be admitted to practice in
this state to pass an examination before
the supreme court became n law ninety
days after it's passage and approval by
the governor or ninety days after the
adjournment of tll. legislature. The
court held that the law did not go into
effect until July I, or ninety days utter
the Legislature adjourned.
In giving t;ris decision the court seem.
ed to hold that all laws pissed at the
last session, without the emergency
clause, will not take effect until July 1.
The decision in this lightat once becomes
important and %far-reaching in it's scope.
There were 100 new laws passed at the
last session witlioutthe emergency clause
and consequently will not take effect I'm.
