A. S. Thompson, collector for the
Champion machine company, says
that while going down to Royalton
on a freight train yesterday morn
ing he saw two wolves out a few
miles from this city on the prairie.
There is bounty of $15 for female
w If and SIS for male. Why don't
some one get out and look for them?
The male wolf of Morrison county
is evidently pretty 'cute guy" as
only one was captured during Janu-
airy, while eight females were taken
in. AS fe ale wolf brings $50
more bounty than the male it would
be well for the chairman of the town
board to he very careful about issu-

CT McNair of the Hennepin Paper
company recently sent a copy OF the
Industrial Edition of the Transcript
to a prominent banker in western
New York. He received letter
from him yesterday saying that he
was much pleased with the beautiful
number, and requested Mr.. McNair
to send copies of the paper to other
parties whom he was certain would
become very much Interested in Little
Fails upon reading the description
contained in that paper.
The Chicago Inter Ocean, that
great Republican newspaper, has
not suffe ed by the recent era of fl
nancial depression but has gone
right along adding to it's foundation
stones-a large and substantial cir
culation-with a stride that under
the circumstances is truly wonderful.
At one time additions to the sub
scription list were coming at the
ate OF 800 to LOO per day for the
daily issue, and as high as 1900 per
day for the Weekly Inter Ocean.
The result of this is to place it
easily at the head of the list of great
Chicago newspapers. 1t is certainly
a good, clean, family newspaper OF
the highest order.

HIGH CITY OFFICIAL ROBBED.
His Name Concealed and a Dapper
Young Man Suspected
Robert Fullerton Says Gov. Flower
Had u similar Experience.

A high city official. who carefully con-
ccas his name, Is anxiously awaiting
an answer to an advertisement to-day
for the recovery OF $500 worth Of jewell
ry stolen from him. The property con-
sisted Of a diamond and sapphire chain.
two gold watches, a pearl pin. and S6
in money. He promises through Robert
Fullerton, OF the old English Curiosity
Shop. 2l9 Third avenue, to pay the
thief more than the intrinsic value of
the jewelry II 1t Is returned. and to
ask no questions.
MIR. Fullerton told an amusing story
of the loss Of the jewelry to an EVEN
ing World reporter to-day. He said:
The gentleman Is prominent city
official and lives at u hotel in Fifth ave
nue.. He Is "A very wealthy man. one
of the watches and the chain was gift
from his wife. who died not long ago.
For that reason he is very desirous OF
recovering 1t. He has authorized me to
pay the full value of the Jewelry or even
more, which will be an inducement to
the Thief to pafForize he us instead stead OF bs
jewelry l will pay good price for the
tickets.
"The official and friend. who had
been drinking at Delmonico's on Satur-
day night, got into row with a man
and the officials friend knocked the
man down. A dapper young man, who
was standing nearby, congratulated the
friend and claimed acquaintance with
him.
"The officials family is out OF town
and his friend took him to his house and
invited the dapper young man to go with
them. They found him a delightful fel-
low. He sang and played and danced
for them, and they had a glorious time.
or course. they drank some more, and
the official thinks the dapper young man
drugged them.
When the official left to walk up to
his hotel In Fifth avenue the dapper
young man went along.
"The young man grew very effusive
and grasped the official twice about
the body to tell him how sincere his
friendship was. During one of these
friendly hugs. he doubtless distracted
the chain, two watches and SC which
was In one of the watch pockets. The
other hug cost the official his pearl
pin:
They separated before the official
reached his hote, Wnen he discovered
his loss he hurried up to my home to
invoke my aid. The thief. he said
missed 5000. which was in an upper vest
pocket
Asked as to why the official should
have gone to him, Mr.. Fuller said:
"Oh, I manage to recover a good deal
OF property where people do not care TO
appeal to the police and are willing to
pay for II. Only three months ago a
man who occupies the highest office In
the gift Of the people of the State Of New
York was touched in almost the same
fashion for 81 200 worth Of jewelry. and
recovered 1t for him.

George Tebeau is playing splendid outhold
