When the priest at the Catholic
church of New Ulm went to the vault
TO get the chalice to use at mass, to his
surprise he found that the vault had
been blown open, and from its contents
are missing gold chalice, plate and
soporia, and a silver monstrance, the
total value of which is about $780,
There is no clue to the burglars. nor is
it known when the deed was done, as
the vault had not been used for several
days. The vault was situated in the
basement at the rear of the church and
Its existence was known to a very few
people. 1t was therefore plain that the
robbery had been done by some one
who was familiar with the church.

Too Much Kite.

A peculiar accident, which came near
ending the earthly career of Charles
Barker. occurred at Winona during a
kite flying contest Mr.. Barber. who
inaugurated the contest. appeared with
a kite measuring eight feet from top to
bottom, and with the assistance of a
couple of friends he proceeded to fiy it.
After the kite was well in the air, Bar
Der fastened the rope by which it was
held around his body in order to hold
it better. No sooner had he done this
than the friends who were aiding him
let go the cord. thinking that Barber
could hold it all right As they let go
Barber was dragged along the ground
for some rods. and then lifted bodily
into the air. His friends tried to res
cue him, but they could not reach him.
and he was afraid to drop. even If he
could have done SO. The kite pulled
him up into the air over Is feet and
then the wind seemed to die away Bar
Der and the kite began to sink slowly
and gracefully, and in a few minutes
he was dropped into the river. which is
wide. Tied as he was TO the kite, Bar
Der could not sink. and in short time
he was rescued by a man with a boat,
who brought him TO shore after cutting
the rope which held the kite. The kite
fell in marsh land on the Wisconsin
side of the river. Mr.. Barber is none
the worse for his trip in the air.

OHOE OF WUHUtHEK NOKUS KOM
There Appears to BE Slight Chance for
Ills Freedom.

Washington, July 14.-The clerk of the
United States supreme court states that
it will probably be some months before the
case of murderer Nordstrom of Seattle
is finally decided. 1t will be remember
Lewis. counsel for Nordstrom, was here
during the last term of the supreme court
it was ordered by the court that further
arguments or points in the case should be
submitted by Nordstrom's attorney and
the attorney general of the state, in print
ed briefs. One of the judges recently
stated to your correspondent that he was
anxious for a full presentation of this
case, as the point raised therein seemed
to be a most important one. Possibly
Nordstrom may yet be free man. When
counsel for Buchanan the New York
murderer, was arguing his motion for an
appeal in this court he referred for an
authority, to the Nordstrom case, alleg-
ing them to be somewhat similar The
court in denying the appeal of Buchanan,
upon a wholly different basis, and was
clearly distinguishable from the Buchan-
an case.
THE present case" said the court,
claims no constitutional right, prescrib.
ed by the federal constitution, or privi-
lege, prescribed by any act of congress"
The contention of Nordstroms attor-
ney, on the other hand, is that he has
guaranteed to him, by the act of congress
admitting the state of Washington to the
Union. the privilege of trial by indict-
ment.

CONFERENCE OF SILVER DEMOCRATS
senator Jones Explains the object Of
the Recent Call

SENATOR Jones ENplbiuS the ObJcct OF
the Recent Call.
Washington, July Ex-senator Jones of
Arkansas, who Joined Senators Harris and
Turpie in issuing a call for a silver con-
ference of silver democrats in Washing
ton on the 18th of August has written
letter to a friend in Washington on the
origin of the call and the purposes of the
meeting. He says:
AT Memphis. after the adjournment of
the meeting, number of democrats from
different states held a meeting and after
consideration the meeting requested Sem
ators Harris, Turpie and myself to take
steps to organize the silver democrats
so they could be fairly represented in the
next convention. We concluded that the
best way to do this was to first organize
a national central committee of silver
democrats, consisting of one or more
members from each state and to let those
members look after the organization of
their own states. To select gentlemen for
membership of this committee by cores
pondence seemed slow and II was con-
cluded to invite one or more gentlemen
of character and experience from each
state to meet in Washington and select
if they thought well of 1t, this central
committee. This Is all there Is of IL as
understand it,"
The general impression seems to have
gone out that this conference was to be
a mass meeting. Senator Jones' state.

SAFE CRACKED AT MEDICAL LAKE
Burglars Robbed Thomas Campbelps
store of $50.


Medical Lake, July ia daring piece
of burglary was committed at this place
last night on the general merchandise
store of Thomas Campbell. The robbers
were undoubtedly experts and thoroughly
understood their business as no alarm
was given or anything known of the case
until Mr.. Campbell whose residence Is
two blocks away, opened the store this
morning. The entrance was made through
a door at the rear of the building near
where the safe was situated. The locks
on the door, which were two in num-
ber,one being night latch, were evidently
forced by chisels used as a prey to force
back the bolts. There were no indications
OF any powder having been used in open
ing the safe. A sledge belonging to Mr..
Campbell, the blacksmith, which was ta-
ken during the night, was used to force
the chisels to pry off the outside door,
after the combination nobs had been filed
and pried off.
On the inside door they seemed to have
met with more difficulty, u square corner
having been cut off by chisels and the
door being badly drilled and wrenched.
About $50 was the amount taken in mon
ey. and check of $40 on the Spokane &
Eastern Trust Company. No trace has yet
been found of the thieves.

emphasized their ideas on the matter of
Sabbath observance by meeting yesterday
and presenting resolutions pledging them
selves not to use the street cars or other
conveniences today. AS a result the

of regular church services were thronged
with men and women wearing Christian
Endeavor badges, proceeding on foot to
the most convenient churches. They had
already begun the day with the usual $50

custom on other days, there was no sing
