CATCHING A TARTAR.
The Brave and Effective Resistance of an
 Intended Victim.

Highway robberies, even under mod ern name of "hold-ups," which alters nothing of their character, have become decidedly rare in the far northwest; and they are likely to become still rarer if all intended victims make as brave and effective resistance as did a grocer of Rainier, Washington, recently.
 This grocer, whosee name is Hubert, started from Rainier with his wagon one night to go to Tacoma to buy goods. With him was a 13-year-old boy: He carried $1o6 to pay for his purchases.
 While he was about two miles from Roy and on a lonely road two highway men stepped out, confronted the grocer, pushed a pistol into his face, and com manded him to dismount and hand over his money.
 Hubert had no notion of giving up the money, but he did not waste any time in thinking up a plan for beating the rob- hers. He began to get down from the wagon as if to comply, and as he did so he struck the rascal who held the pistol a terrible blow which felled him to the ground. Hubert then came down with one heavy foot upon the wrist of the hand which held the revolver.
 While the robber was in this position, the grocer snatched the weapon away from him and pointed it at the other rascal. It turned out that the second robber had no pistol. Hubert con- manded him to put up his hands, which he did.
 Meantime the first man was insensi- ble from the terrible blow which Hu- bert had dealt him. Hubert madetthe second hold up his hands for ten min utes, until the first had recovered his senses. Then he commanded the first to get up, and told them both to march. which they did.
 Thus the grocer took them both into the town of Roy, the boy driving close behind with the horses ard wagon. At Roy the thwarted highwaymen were turned over to a constable and locked up, and the grocer went on his way to Tacoma

DIET AS A MORAL AGENT.
Experiment Introduced in New York
 Reformatory.

hetOTndCOEys
 A queer food experiment is being tried at the Elmira reformatory, in New York state, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. All civilized nations hold out some inducement to the criminal in confinement to sooner secure his release from legal restraint. A certain amount ct time is always taken off for good be- havior. The criminal has often been exhorted to this end by father, mother, brother, sister and by others who had his interest at heart. His manhood, his future, his ambition and his hope of quick rsletse from confinement have been appealed to, and in many cases in vain. Now it is to the mans stomach that the appeal is to be made.
 The proposed experiment. contem- plates somewhat enlarged scale of die tary privileges, increasing from grade to grade, from lowest to highest, so that within due and proper limits of indulgence of the appetite by prisoners in a prison reformatory for crime they can out Of their own accumulations have the privilege to select meal by meal at their pleasure, provided always that they keep their expenditure within the limits Of indulgence allowed by the government of the reformatory. The prisoners, under the wagc-earning sys- tenn of the reformatory, as it is at pres ent, must earn their living and keep a credit balance to their account, re- spectively, in order to progress toward their release by parole. A prisoner, to maintain a credit balance must needs restrain, regulate and exert himself in a manner which accolnplishes and shows his Improvements; but hitherto the diet rate has been infexible. It is believed that if more latitude is allowed and the prisoner has a chance of tick ling his palate occasionally with mince pie, a juicy roast or other homelike dainties, he will be more likely to make an extra effort to reform. In other words, f he has an inviting menu to choose from for breakfast, dinner and supper, he will get up and hustle and be man.

Four Miners Killed,

The most distressing mine accident
in Marquette county since the collapse
of No l shaft at the Republic five
years ago, occurred at the same mine
as the night gang was exchanging
places with the night shift. Eight
miners and trammers of the night
shift climbed into the large car or
skip which is used in hosting ore in
No. l shaft, and gave the signal to the
engineer to hoist slowly.
BY some means unknown at the
present time, the car was derailed at d
point about 1000 feet below the sur
face and toppled over in such a manner
as to imprison the men beneath it. As
it was impossible to reach the signal
wire the engineer was ignorant of the
fearful dilemma of the men, and con-
tinued hosting, thus dragging the
men over the rough bottom of the
shaft and literally grinding them to
fragments. Four men were killed out
right and the other four probably ia
tally injured.

capes and the only stairway. The
alarm spread TO the other floors and
soon every window was filed
with struggling women fighting
with desperation to reach safety.
Following them was a mass of smoke
with flashes of flame in lurid streaks.
Then the mass of frenzied humanity,
finding the expresses too small for es-
cape, began climbing over the sides of
the escapes and jumping to the ground.
Within 20 minutes after the fire
started there were three dead women
laid upon the floor of an adjoining
store, and at least dozen burned

hospital or their homes. The firemen
and police worked like heroes and to
their energy was due a great saving of
