Cnptured u Blind Pocketbook.

Oralaska, Wis, Jan. %. = On New
Years morning A. BONANZA, landlord of
the BONANZA hotel in New Amsterdam,
eight miles from here, was attacked by
two robbers in his place of business and
quite roughly handled. He opened and
lighted the Office at 5 o'clock and passed
into the dining room. On returning to
the office through an unlighted hallway
he was seized by two men, thrown to the
floor and relieved of a ''blind'' pocket
book, probably supposed by the thieves
to be the right one. The affair has been
kept from the public with fruitless eff
forts being made to identify and capture
the thieves.

A TRICK OF THE AIDE

Clever Dodge of an Employment
Agency to Drum Up Business.
Like every other vocation of men and
women, the employment agent possess
es a device that is peculiar to his par
ticular calling that is worthy Of en-
rollment among the numerous "tricks
OF the 4rade," and although it smacks
of deceit it ito doubt serves its purpose
well. The manner of operating is this:
A woman Of "good address" is engaged
by the proprietor of the employment
agency to, answer advertisements for
female help. Each morning, when the
days business is begun, the proprietor
closely scans the want columns of the
papers, selecting therefrom such adver
tisements as he or she may be able to
fill from the list of girls on the appl-
cation book. A list is made out and
given to the before mentioned woman
Of good address," who Immediately
starts out to secure the situations.
Upon application to the lady of the
house who has advertised for q girl
this woman Of good address tells the
mistress that she has read the adver-
tisement in the morning paper and
would like to get the place. Then fol
lows the lal catechism. applicable
to such cases, and the lady finds to
her great delight that she has at last
discovered just the girl for whom she
has been looking, oh, so long. There
isn't anything she can't do, and the
lady has really racked her brain to think
Of things, too. She can make lovely
bread, cook any dish imaginable, does
not object to helping out" o wash
day, has 10 gentlemen company" does
not want the parlor three nights q
week, and will not go home Sundays,
and above all she has such good ad-
Dress
A bargain is struck on the spot; the
new girl will come tomorrow and the
wages are reasonable. The lady hur-
ries down town and orders her adver-
tiselnent out of the paper, turns away
q dozen or more likely looking girls
who apply for the place during the day,
and finally at night she goes to bed
and falls asleep without q care upon
her mind, something she has not done
since the Inst girl gave her warn
ing" 7s
".But, oh, what a difference in the
morningw When 8 o'clock comes In
stead of the lovely wOman of good
cddress'' who was hired the day before
the hour brings two, maybe three, very
Indifferent specimens Of the genus hired,
who exclaim in chorus that they ''have
como to get that job
"Why, I don't want any help" ex-
claims the lady of the house; 1--we
engaged q girl" and she makes a mo
ton to close the door on the unwelcome
callers.
rus, "but Miss -- can't come. She's
sick; aud she told us to come and get
the place because you wanted a girl.
So we've come"
The girls are dismissed with bnt
little ceremony, yet not until the lady
has learned that they came from No.

agency is known to be. and after com

Bud for the Sewerage System.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Jan. pa defect
has been discovered in the 100000 sew
erage scheme which will probably prove
fatal. The committees plan provides for
a temporary outlet upon the Seney prop
erty ut a point about thirty rods from
the river. It is known that the repre-
st rtotives of the ,Seney interests will not
permit such use of their land, and. to
c rstruct the overflow sewer to the river
would cost $4,000 more. In addition to
this the right of way would cost $4,000
more, and this addition of $4,000 to the
estimate given, it is thought, will kill
the plan until next year.

about all of the trains had been tied up,
and it a with difficulty that we se-
cured a train, to Fargo. We got
started on the short train to Fargo, after
q considerable delay, and it a an ex-
citing ride the whole distance. When
we arrived at Minneapolis, the crowd Of
strikers and sympathizers was enormous
and when ~ train pulled in, there was
q grand rush for the depot by the mob.
It seemed that there was q policeman
after every striker, and the mob was
rushed through the depot by the police,
without being permitted to stop. We
managed to get away from there after a
while, and started on. @. o. Smith was
on the same train, returning from Chi
cago with his bride, and aside from them
and ourselves, there was no one in the
car but marshals. At Staples, we were
held up three hours by the mob, who
tried in every way to persuade the fire
man to abandon his post. At Winni-
peg Junction there was more of the mob,
and at every station we met them. Mr..
and Mrs. Smith left the train at Detroit,
where they are Stopping at present.
Sat Fargo, on Monday, every possible
effort was made to start a train west, but
it was Of no avail, and had to be given
up. There was nothing to be done but
make an overland trip, and we left
Fargo Monday noon at about 4 o'clock.
At Wheatland, we had a rather moder-
ate supper, the woman who prepared
it informing us that there was sugar
down at Casselton-all..of which was con-
selling. At jamestown, everything is
tied up tight. We reached Steele

opinion that Wheaton would recover, He
Is about 80 .years Of age.
The Tribune Of July+lOth, contains the
following as to his later condition:
P.J. Wheaton, the principal of the Bis-

commit suicide by stabbing himself at the
county Jail early Monday morning, was
yesterday removed to Asbury hospital.
This afternoon the physician in charge
said that he showed signs Of Improvement
to-day, and while he is still in a dangerous
condition, it is thought he will recover.
Wheaton is asingle man, but among his
other hallucinaJions is one othe effectthat
ne has q wife, and Sunday afternoon he
drew up a will in which he left all his
property to his imaginary better half. He
also asked the physician, after the ATTEMPT
at suicide, to notify his wife of the occur
rence,a as he has had something important
to tell her, A school teacher in the school
OF which he is principal in Bismarck, who
IS in the city, states that he had until
recently shown no symptoms of insanity.
The attempt Of the professor to end
his life is deeply regretted in the city,
and there is general sorrow at his mis-
fortune. During his term in the city
schools, the professor has manifested no
symptoms Of insanity, except that his
Wasa highly nervous temperament, and
his actions IN many cases were what is
characterized as "fdgety." AS a teacher,
he was one Of the best, an excellent in.
structor and a rigid disciplinarian, and
the schools were in excellent condition
under his management. At the close Of
the last school year, he graduated a class
OF five from the high school department.
and, having been engaged for another
year by the board, he looked forward
with eagerness to his work the coming
year. The misfortune which has be-
fallen him is sad, and it is sincerely
hoped he may be restored in health and
intellect.
