The latest ceneus bulletin to be issued
by the census Office gives the final figures
on the wealth Of the United States. The

Last evening at supper time it became
evident to some Of the guests at the
Macqueen house that there was sneak
thief abroad, and that he had been ply
ing his vocation. When Ed Cahill, the
popular newspaper solicitor came out
from his evening meal. he discovered
that his overcoat had disappeared, and
at most the same instant Mr.. Sinclair,
an insurance agent, found that his va.
lise and S75 kodak had been carried
of. The affair was reported to the
clerk and also TO the officers. Suspicion
was soon attached to a man registering
as Jesse Ward, and he was watched, but
this morning before any evidence was
found against him, telegram was re-
ceived from Mandan. requesting the ar
rest of Jesse Hoag. alias Jesse Ward. for
burglary committed in that city.
Sheriff Hawkins and Chief jackson
went to Wards room and placed him
under arrest. When he was taken into
custody and searched, the officers found
upon his person billy and revolver.
The police are hard at work in the
case and are Of the opinion that all the
stolen property will be recovered.

WHERE TITLES ARE CHEAP.
In Russia Every Owner Of Large Flock of
Sheen is q Prince.

The title of Prince in Russia Is so common
that it has little significance. The bearers
of the distinction, says a foreign journal, are
more numerous than the wearers of the Le-
glon OF Honor in French cafe or Colonel In
the Southern States Of America" The truth
OF this statement is Illustrated in u report in
the last edition Of the military gazette,
Rusti hsralid. II records the death Of twelve
officers of the militia, of whom nine were
princes,
In the Caucasus says the Journal every
owner Of large flock of sheep calls himself
prince All Of these sheop-princes are adj
dressed as highness,' the same as the Oldest
princely families. Many ancient Russian rami-
lies, such as the Naryschkin, Wsiewoloshski,
eic., entitled to the prefix prince before their
names, decline to use it for fear of being con-
founded with these apparent princes. Repre-
sentatiyes of these families are content with
the use OF the eoat-of-arms.n

to rule, re determined by an edict 10 change
the language and the creed Of the conquered.
With good reason the outside world was
Mortified. and the helpless Poles terrified and
and astounded, when General Gourko, as
Governor Of Warsaw. issued an order that
taught in any school, under his control.
With an assumption of authority, such as the
most tyranicgl Of the Cars has never exceed
ed, he prohibited the prevailing Roman Cath
olc form Of worship and ordered the people
TO attend the Greek services. At the first cry
Of complaint from the Poles who loved their
mother tongue and the Church OF their
fathers, all the more FOR their political en-
slayement Gourko detailed bands Of brutal
Cossacks, to fog the "heretics into accept
ing the orthodoxy Of the Car, who is at the
head Of the Greek Church.
Power in Gourkos hands was not permitted
to rest for want Of use, and be used it all the
more freely, knowing that bis conduct had
the full approval Of his royal master. While
he was converting the Catholics by means Of
the EnCut, he. at the same time. began those
repressiye measures against the Jews, that
forced them into exile by the tens Of thous-
ands. and excited the indignation and horror
Of every civilized land
Broad.shouldered, deep chested, with
military bearing and above the average in
height. General Gourko is an imposing fg-
ure. Napoleon said, If you scratch Rus
sian you find Tartar but there is no
scratching necessary in the case Of Gourko.
His face is Mongoiian in its cast. and even his
full gray beard cannot hide the high cheek
/ bones Of the Ealmuk.
| The Governor of Warsaw lives in royal
state, with all the palaces Of the old Polish
kings at his service. In Warsaw the vice.
regal residence is the beautiful Castle. Or
"Zaaek, once the abode Of Stainslau August
the last Of Poland's ill-starred kings. General
Gourkos wife is entirely worthy Of him. 4
native of Warsaw and Of en- ancestry not ~
all distinguished, this woman's head WIS
turned by the elevation and brilliancy Of he
position, when she returned, after many
years, the wife of the Cars representative.
While her husband has been relentless in the
enforcement Of his own cruel eiicts tho
Countess mas made herself hated by the mora
than royal arrogance she has displayed as
social leader. While her husband was en-
deavoring to crush out the Catholic church
and to make Polish dead language, she, by
virtue Of her prcrogative, prohibited Polish
actors from playing in their native tongue
and has barred the reproduction Of Polish
plays.
Geperal Gourko and his wife are heartily
hated in Warsaw not only by the Jews and
Poles, whom they have so cruelty prosecuted,
but also hy the Russian officials with whom
they are brought into contact. The Gener-
ais illness is popularly attributed to poison
introduced into his food by Polish cook
The police evidently believe this, for many
people have been arrested, and an investiga-
tion was had. but without any result that
would tend 20 confirm the suspicion.

Ing. This was, no doubt due to my opportun-
tiles rather than to the fact that cases Of iu-
diyidual daring were more frequent in this
than in other campaigns.
Amongst all these cases that Of Sergeant
Bruner stands out eonspicuousiy, for his
bravery was so frequently illustrated from
the time we crossed the Mississippi till we
reached the Big Black, as to make his name
and regiment-the Twenty Third Wisconsin,
famous in all the army. Bruner was the only
Pennsylvania in this splendid regiment,
fact that gave him prominence from the first,
and Of which he felt very proud. As matter
Of fact, I have always thought that the ser
geant's gallantry was inspired more by de-
sire to defend the honor OF the Keystone
State than by 4 broader patriotism for the
restoration Of the Union.
In the assault on Port Gibson, the Twenty
Third Wisconsin came under "a terrific storm
Of fire, and they waysred; and when the
Color Sergeant was shot down the line broke
and looked as Fit would be thrown back. The
CoIors had not been 4 second on the ground,
when sergeant Bruner lsaped forward, and
fluging them aloft, be shouted, with an cath.
that did not sound like profanity:
Follow the flag, boys Follow the flag
Some forty or fifty men eheered and rallied
about Bruner then all dashed forward on the
earthwork; the rest Of the command soon
following and the place was carried. Had
this act stood alone, it would have made the
sergeant marked man for leadership and
velor. But it was one only OF many such in
cidents.
At the battle o! Champion Hill, Immediately
after Port Gibson the Twenty Third, again
wayered under an awful fire, and the colors
were dropping to the rear. Quick as a fash
Bruner seized them, and shouting "There 5
less danger in front boys Come on" he led
his cheering comrades into the enemy's Ia
trenchments, and they we're carried with q
rush.
Another incident will show that this man 6
courage was not spasnodic, but constant
quantity.
At the battle Of Big Black, the last fight be-
fore the investment Of yicksburg, Company
"B," Burners, Of the Twenty Third Wlscon
sin, got orders from General Grant to silence
with the aid OF two small pieces, one Of the
enemy's batteries that was very annoying
Soon the two guns were dismounted, and tn,
two commissioned officers Of Company
were wounded, the command deyolving OF
Bruner. Instead Of falling back, as nearl,
any other man would have done, Brunei
shouted for his men to follow him, which
they promptly did. They charged the bat

the charging troops the enemy disappeared,
but only to form again, and they finally made
it SO hot for US that we we're forced to with
drawto Cemetery Hill. Icould otconcsive Of
grander exhibition Of courage In battle than
was exhibited by those Confederatos. Each
time it was almost certain death, and yet not
man seemed to waver The precision with
which they reformed after the fearful decima-
ton Of their ranks that followed each discharge
OF our guns was, think, the most marvellous
thing that took place under my observation
during the war.
An incident which occurred at the battle OF
Drainsville, had a mixture Of the tragic and
the humorous that makes it worth relating
