BOLD, BAD MEN.
Hard Times Make Hard Characters and
Business Men are the Victims
Robbery at Oolman-Oapture
Of Learned and Beverly.

The robbery at Madison Sunday eve
ming may not have been the incentive to
another which followed at Colman,
eighteen miles east of here, last evening,
but the tidlngs of the former had little
more than time to reach the latter place
when adaring robbery is planned and ex-
ecuted with neatness and dispatch. The
hard times gave occasion for such
thoughts and the villianies following
them are no doubt contagious in their
example. Hence we may expect to hear
OF other depredatlons being committed
here and elsewhere unless very great
precautions are taken by business men
and those handling money. Last even
ing between 8 and 10 o'clock Deputy
Sheriff McGoyern received the following
telegram from Colmsn:
"rwo men entered my store this even
ing while / was alone, held me up, forced
me to unlock my safe and took about
$3.50. One is q tall, six footer and the
other q short, boyish chap. Have no
KIN owledge which way they went.
&c. BoLLEs."
The gentleman who signs the above ID
the father OF Engineer Bolles OF this
place and q respectable merchant OF u
neighboring village in Moody county.
To walk into q mans place OF business
before he closes shop and deliberately
demand his cash at the muzzle ola re-
volver is nervy to say the least and but
for the nefarious villainy that prompts
it, would command the admiration Of
men. 1t is equal to the highwayman or
train robber and il such daring acts are
TO prove successful business men may
well consider how to defend themselves
and property on a moments warning.
Punishment following capture should be
sure and swift, and the strict enforce
ment OF every law for the protection OF
society should be emphasized in general
administration. The coming winter will
be 0 sever strain upon municipalities
and with their best efforts and greatest
precautions, such viliainies will be fire.

Dakota Wyoming and Missouri to I'D.

Dakota, Wyoming and Missouri to BE
Built i'm 1895.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov 20.-The
people of South Dakota are very much
interested at this time in the projected
railroad from the coal fields of Wyom-
ing to Rapid City, this state, and from
there to Chamberlain, connecting there
with the Milwaukee system. A portion
Of this line west of Rapid City is al
ready completed, and about 70 per cent
of the entire road from Rapid City to
Mystic, where it connects with the
Burlington and Missouri, is graded.
William T. Coad, who is one of the
chief projectors, feels assured that 1895
win see this road completed to Cham.
berlain.
The building of this road cuts of
over $50 miles of the distance to the
markets of Chicago, st. Paul, Minnie
apolis and Duluth. If the road is COM
pleted by next September, it means
that 5000 cars of cattle alone will be
shipped to Chicago and st. Paul, which
viii give the road about $500, 900 for
the transportation of the cattle alone
for year besides the other thousands
OF dollars for other freight. The road
taps the best mining districts in the
Black Hills. Thousands of tons of ore
have been dug out along the line,
ready for shipment as soon as
the road is completed, to the smelt-
ing works. Wyoming coal will TO de-
hvered al oyer the state from 81 to $2
per ton cheaper than it can be- bought
now. There is an abundance Of the
finest timber in the United States along
this route. and with the road completed,
instead OF Wisconsin and Michigan fur
nishing South Dakota with lumber, she
will get il from her own Black Hills at
a much cheaper rate.
The name Of the projected road is the
Dakota, Wyoming 81 Missouri River.

TO cURTAIL THE OUTPUT.
Agreement eache by Millers At q Con.

Agreement Reached by Millers At q CON-
florence in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. l8.-The initial steps
looking towards the curtailment of the
-four output by a six weeks suspension
Of the merchant mills of the country
were taken at a meeting of millers at
the Auditorium. The meeting n
sisted Of IL men, who were chosen by
vote and in whose selection 500 millers,
representing q daily output of $50, 900
barrels, were invited to take part. The
committee was unanimous in agreeing
that the price of -four was below o
profit yielding point, and that some GER
tain action by the trade was necessary
to bring up the price to a profit point.
An arbitrary increase Of the price was
given little consideration, as the Gus.
ON mills scattered all over the country
could not be brought into line. The
reduction Of stocks was regarded as the
best method Of tending to an increase
in the price. An agreement was then
formed to shut down the mills for a
period of six weeks within the three
months beginning Dec. /. The agree.
ment will be in force when the mills
representing a production of 100, OOC
barrels o day have signed.

CHICAGO BREAD RIOT.
Police Called Upon to Disperse a
Horde of Discharged LabOrers
at the City Hall.
WAS NO MONEYTOP PAY THEM
The First Detachment Sent TO the
Scene Was Hurriedly Hustled Out
by the Crowd.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia large detail OF
police was called out at noon to quell o
bread riot in the city hall. Two hun.
dred and fifty discharged employees OF
the water department gathered about
the comptroller's Office demanded the
wages due them. The comptroller sent
@ clerk to inform the men that there
was no money in the city treasury to
pay them. Instantly the crowd became
riotous. Cries for bread and threats OF
instant vengeance were howled forth
by the angry crowd and the comptrol'
Ter, gather ny his clerks, barred the
doors to his offices and sent a hurried
call for policemen.
OficerS Hustled Out.
A half dozen officers appeared, but
were promptly rushed out OF the CORR
dor by the thoroughly aroused men. A
battalion of patrolmen was summoned
and after a liberal use of force the riot
ers were dubbed into submission ant
driven from the city hall. The large
crowd which had been attracted by thu
disturbance was heartily in sympathy
with the ex-employes and threats tt
compel instant payment of the overdue
wages were numerous, until the poles
succeeded in dispensing the throng.

CHARITY RATES.
The Railroad Company Will Reduce Their
Revenue 0ns-Half, Giving the Ooun-
ty the Benefit Thereof-An Inter
esting Letter to Aid. Larkin.

Several months ago, on seeing the
need Of assistance to enable those who
had lost their crops the past season to
pull through the winter, NJ. L. Clark
was appointed by the county commits
sioners as part Of a committee and AL
der man John Larkin, on the part OF the
city council, another member OF that
committee, to communicate with the Of
ficials OF the railroad company with q
view to securing reduced rates on coal
for the benefit of the poor. The >nego-
tiations have been long and tedious for
some cause, but Mr. Larkln Yesterday
received a letter from headquarters
which explains itself and which we re-
produce verbatim:
LACROSSE, Wis, Nov. 16, 1s94.-John
Larkin, Esq, Madison, s. D.: Dear
Sir Replying to your letter of Novem-
Der IA, in reference to reduced rates on
coal, / supposed that answer had been
made direct to the commissioners from
our Office in Chicago. .
81 regret this delay, but / wish you
would 10 advise the commissioners as
an answer to their petition, that while
we recognize the difficulties under which
the people OF some portions OF South
Dakota r placed at present, the rail-
roads must suffer an equal or greater
proportion than the people. .
"Nearly the entire road mileage OF the
state must be operated at the expense
Of other districts, and not only this,
while q certain portion Of the people are
calling upon the railroad companies for
help, another class of the citizens of that
state are moving for unfriendly legisla-
ton.
Notwithstanding this fact, this com
pany will refund one-half OF their rev.
enue IN presentation Of paid expense
bills covering shipments OF coal pur-
chased by the county and distributed to
needy people. ~ +
"Claims for refund must in every case
be accompanied by certificate from
county auditor or other proper county
official showing that the coal has been
bought by the county, and that it has
been donated absolutely free in the
manner aforesaid.
Attention should tie called to the
fact that when coal is forwarded from
points on foreign roads, that the full
rate charged by foreign road is to be
paid by the ~consignee.
'sThis, / trust, will be perfectly salts
factory to your officers. Yours, truly,
"H. e. PIERPoNr, ID. r. & p. A."
This reduction in transportation will
be quite an item and enable the county
to do just that much more for the desti-
tute and needy OF the county. The
county commissioners have already re-
ceived bids on furnishing 800 toms of
coal for this purpose and no doubt much
more will be required. Messrs. Larkin
and Clark are deserving of commenda-
ton for their zeal is this matter.
