ROBBED THE eWYANDOTTE'


Youthful Thieves Plumber Auditor GIL
lette's Special Car and Are Caught
The Santa Fe special car aWyandotte,"
No 100. which brought Auditor Gillette
to Topeka yesterday, was robbed and
defaced by young scamps late yesterday
afternoon, but the boys who did the deed
have been arrested and they will be
turned over to the Santa Fe company for
prosecution. The car was switched to an
obscure portion of the yards and Frank,
John and Charles White accompanied by
Earl Cafferty and Clarence Mcdowell
tried to break into il. They did not sue
coed IN this but were successful in I'M
locking the ice chest under the car floor
and stealing seven bottles of beer, some
cake, cheese, sandwiches and other &C
cessorles OF what the boys thought con-
stituted swell spread After they had
appeased their hunger they threw stones
through the large windows of the car
and took particular pains to scratch and
scar the paint on the outside of the car.
Officer Watts only clue was that the
vandalism was the work of boys. He is
we'll acquainted with the notorious White
brothers and they were the first to be
suspected John White, aged II, was
the first of the brothers to be caught.
At first he denied any knowledge of the
affair, but later confessed that his two
brothers and the other boys named had
committed the burglary and defaced the
car. Officers Watts and Capron caught
the boys together last night on East
Fourth street after a chase of several
blocks.
The boys will be turned over to the
state to be prosecuted by the Santa Fe.
The ages of the boys are Charles White,
IA: John White II: Frank White 16:
Earl CaffertN Is; Clarence Mcdowell,
16. The boys are all notorious, with the
possible exception of Mcdowell, as ring
leaders in the worst element of Juvenile
Topeka. The White brothers have been
in public life" several years. A short
time ago Earl Cafferty struck a young
man in the head with brick for calling
him names. A scalp wound was in
hicted that required five stitches.

Logan is in the city, visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Tucker. Mrs. Logan
was seen by a reporter, and gave a
pleasant, chatty account of her recent
stay in Pittsburg, where she attended
the Grand Army encampment. Mrs.
Logan's presence is as imposing and
her personality as inspiring as ever.
The superb carriage, the fine dark
eyes, the silyery hair and the cordial
manner, all combine to impress one
with a pleasant sense Of digniied and
gracious womanhood. Mrs. Logan ex-
pressed herself as much pleased with
the fact that Maj. and Mrs. Tucker
had been stationed at ST. Paul.

strong Points In short Paragraphs.

Rochester Democrat: The first Demo-
cratic President was called "Old Hick-
ory." How would Slippery Elm do
as a title for the last one?
A Democratic exchange says that "the
Republican smut mills are running and
are very smutty." Certainly. What can
one expect with such a grist as the Dem
ocrats are furnishing?
Madison Journal: Why didn't the
Democrats in their platform jubilate
over that $4,000, 600 that Atty Gen,
O'Connor is about to recover from the
general government? We trust there is
no mistake about the matter.
Gov. Mckinley says that during the
eighteen months that the Democratic
President and Democratic Congress have
been running the government nothing else
has been running. The governor is mis-.
taken. About 100000 idle workmen
have been running about trying to find
employment.
Farmers will soon begin to miss the
reciprocity treaties. In 1893 Cuba bought
from us S~10,000,000 worth of provisions
and breadstuffs alone, these goods being
admitted free into Cuba from the United
States. But now that we are taxing
Cuban ugar, they will tax our farm
products, buy more from other countries
and less from us.
The total revenue of the United States
fell off by SSS,096, 600 during 1894, as
compared with 1893. The total expen-
ditures decreased by only $15,9 1915.
Thus this year of a Democratic admin
istration resulted in the country getting
more than $72,000.o90 into debt. A bust
ness man, a manufacturer, a wage Garner
who spent nearly % per cent. more than
his income would very soon become a
bankrupt. This is the style of Democrat
ic financiering.

Two Highwaymen Torture - Miner
in Montana.

Helena, Mont, Sept, 22.-The police
to-day We're informed OF the torture
Of John Randolph, a miner in Skilly's
Gulch, near Marysville, this county,
by two highwaymen, who bound and
gagged him the night before and ran
sacked his cabin for treasure hat he
did not have. When he protested that
he had no money or gold dust in the
house they heated an iron poker red
hot and drew it repeatedly across his
feet and legs, soaring them frightful-
ly. Then they thrust the hot iron into
his right ear, causing the most awful
pain. Randolph was then chloro-
formed and his cabin ransacked, but
no treasure was found. Though the
men were masked, Randolph rccog-
nized n Of them as a man he pro-
vided with food and shelter a few days
made, though officers are searching for
the scoundrels.

POWERFUL WAITING GIRLS.
in Hungary tan Throw a bud
Thirty Feet.

IhirtY Feet.
In Hungary at Budapest and in such
prosperous and busy towns as Temesvar
it is the business of the waiter girl to
dance with you.
The aristocratic ladies of Budapest are
of even more oppressive md ~excruciating
charm than the swcet Yiennese them
selves. Their hair is b~lue-black, their
checks are white, suffused with a faint
redness, their full lips have a dark ripe
ness verging onto purple. Their faces
have a pleasure-loying expression. Their
big eyes burn like black suns, scorching
tourists, whiting tourists, causing them to
mourn. But the Hungarian daughter of
the people is as democratic in her ways as
she is big and hefty.
A stout Hungarian girl-say at the
Ccardus dancehall opposite the famed
Blue Cat-has no aristocratic graces, no
a~ristocratic paleness. She is big and
brown and red and noisy. She can take
a little New York dude and throw him
thirty feet. Her business is to dance and
serve drinks and collect money in her
satchel. You pay the same price for a
dance as for a drink-10 cents.
A Hungarian waiter girl has never
been known TO knock down a cent on
the establishment. and has never been
known 70 let a customer escape. No one
has ever drank or danced with one of
them and failed to pay.

nee 1890 the levies have been as fol-

The leyies since statehood include the
salaries of state officers and supreme ana
circuit Judges, while the much higher
leyies duriug the territorial period did
not include these expenses mt most oil the
salaries were paid by the general govern
ment.
With this showing it is safeto say that
the people OF South Dakota will continue
the present party in power as their adj
ministratiye officers. The Argus-Leader
O. Sioux Falls was very loud in its de-
mands for figures from State Auditor
Nipple during July and August, showing
the expenditures OF the state itemized.
Mr.. Nipple on August 10th, sent that
paper a statement covering between MI
teen aud twenty pages OF legatcap pa
per closely type written giving just what
they asked for, but they have failed to
pubIish the same. The auditor showed
YOUR correspondent a copy OF this state
ment and also showed US that 1T was
taken from the official records OF the
state. But it is safe to say that the
Argus-Leader will not publish it. :
In a word. South Dakota is run cheaper
than any other state with a like number
of institutions: it is run cheaper now
than in territorial times; it is run cheaper
at the present time than during the
populistic appropriation period. Ihe
records and the figures show this, and
the people will ratiiy it in November by
electing the republican state ticket and
a republican legislature.

Free haw Material.

The shades Of night were falling fast,
When through the halls of Congress passed
4 youth, who bore, mid storms excise,
A banner with the strange device:
Free Raw Waterfall"
His brow was sad; his eye beneath
Flashed like a falchion from It's sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accent of that tangled tongue:
Free Raw Material!'
In happy homes he saw the light
OF household fires CLEAN warm and bright;
Around, the sugar Senate shown;
And from his lips escaped a groan:
Free Raw Material!"
"We pass, we pass" the Senate said;
Ozark lowers the tempest overhead"
'Ihe tarif hole Is deep and wide!"
And loud that husky voice replied:
Free Raw Material!'
.oh. stay" said David. .'stay and rest
Thy weary head upon this breast!'
n tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered with a sigh:
Free Raw Waterfall"
''Beware the storm that sweeps your ranchI
Beware that awful avalanchei"
This was the Demosratiu last good night
A voice replied from out OF sight:
Free Raw materially"
at break OF day. as heavenward
The plous senators gave word
In utterance of their daily prayer,
A voice cried through the startled air:
Free Raw Material!"
A traveller, by the faithful hound.
Ballot-buried in the cold was found,
Still grasping In his hand of ice
That banner with the strange devices
Free Raw Material!'
There In the twilight cold and gray,
Listless but beautiful he lay,
When from his lips. where rolled a cud.
A voice fell with a sick'ning thud:
"Free Raw Materiall'

A Democratic Paper on the Democratic
Ticket.

The Madison Democrat on the Demo-
cratic state ticket commends itself to the
voters of Wisconsin irrespective of party.
1t is sober truth expressed without bitter
ness or hate, and appeals TO the honest
judgment of self-respecting voters. The
Democrat says: The nomination of the
men whose connection with the greatest
official scandal which Wisconsin has ever
known is a matter OF court record, must
be deeply unfortunate in its consequences.
Not only has ii a grievous demoraliZing
tendency in general, but ii is disconcert-
ing, discouraging and d%isrupting politi-
cally. The Democratic party cannot now
fail 10 be a serious sufferer as a result of
acts surrounding some of its official repre-
sentatiyes for which il could not reason
ably be held responsible so long as it did
not formally indorse them. Good citizens,
individuals who regard public office as a
public trust, men who abhor trickery
wherever ii exists, and most of all peo-
pie who demand that the peoples serv-
ants be vigorously regardful of the peo-
pies interests, cannot support and
should not be expected or solicited to sup
port nominees who have once been tried
and found wanting"
