and when his friend took him home to
see the baby. he did his best, though
not very successfully, to be entl:usi-
astic. He undertook to amusc the
youngster and allowed him to play
with the small watch which the lew.
eler had lent him while his own was
being repaired. The baby was SO do
Gle In his company that they were left
together for some time. He concealed
the apprehensions that he felt and re-
solved to allow his charge to have his
own way without restraint When the
father returned he said:
What do you think Of the baby
now that you IRE better acquainted
with him?"
"You have one of the most intelli-
gent children ever heard Of" was
the earnest reply.
"You are beginning to appreciate his
fine points, are you? Has lie been say
ing Mamma and Papa and .Day-duy'
for you!"
mo, it wasn't in any such trivial
manner that he demonstrated his men,
tial powers. He has shown a cdmpre-
hensive relationship and the fitness of
things which, thiugh crudely express
ed, is something little less than marvel.

with and he swallowed it,

mean to say that the baby has swal-
lowed the watch?"
Eyes. But that isn't what shows his
intelligence. Most any baby, If am
not misinformed, is liable to do that
If he gets chance. When that was
gone the only plaything that had to
offer was the key that winds it, and
I'm blessed If he didn't swallow that,

STOLE LARGE SUMS.
w. T. Rambusch of juneau. Wis,
COnfcsses His Crimes.

Juneau, Wis.,, Oct. 17.-All doubt MS
to the character of w. L. Rambusch.
whose disappearance last week led to
an investigation which disclosed very
strange and crooked business trans
actions, were removed this morning,
when a letter was received from him
making confession which fully sub
Stimulates the apprehensions of even
those who feared the worst.
The letter was dated at PHILADELPHIA
and was addressed to his wife. Mr..
Rambusch makes full confession, as
complete in detail as the limits Of an
ordinary letter will permit. The most
startling information it contains is the
assertion that Mr.. Rambusch contem-
plates taking his own life. In fact, it
Is believed that he expected to be dead
before the letter reached Juneau. He
doubtless was on his way to some sea-
port on the Southern Atlantic coast,
where there would be less danger Of
apprehension than at New York or
Boston. The letter contains quite full
accounts of the situation in Juneau,
A duplicate set Of keys to all the
rooms and vaults in the court house
was found among Rambusch's effects,
and an examination has revealed the
fact that official records have been
freely tempered with.
Startling revelations are now being
made in regard to the burning of the
Dodge county court house and the de-
struction of all records III 1877. The
fire was laid at the door of n default
ing county treasurer, but the then dis
trict attorney had reason to believe
that Mr.. Rambusch had set fire to the
building, an6 he had such good grounds
that he employed Pinkerton detectives
to work up the case. They found evil
dence tending to prove that Rambusch
was the guilty man, but it was not
sufficient to make a case. and the mat
ter was dropped. Nobody ever knew
anything about it except the district
attorney and one or two friends, but
the fact now comes out.
1t Is impossible to tell Just now how
much Mr.. Rambusch's stealings have
amounted to. At present they are es-
timated at 100000, but additional
cases are constantly being found and
the figures will, no doubt, be greatly
swelled by later developments. The
thefts are largely of trust funds.
Juneau is filled will. ATTORNEYS. who
are here to look after the interests of
various clients, and long litigation will.
no doubt, follow.

A Quartette who Operated ON Banks
I'm the Twin Cities.
=. st. Louis, Oct. 17.-Chief Of Detec-
tives Desmon has arrested Charles
Rogers, William Daniels, Lee Rial and
James Hinarbon, who recently came
here, and whom he thinks are monte
men, forgers, bank workers and ex-
pert bunco men. A fifth man escaped.
The prisoners are supposed to be a
gang Of bank operators and all around
crooks who have worked the past SUM
mer in st. Paul, Minneapolis, Wash
tngton, D. c., Omaha and Kansas CITY.
Blank checks on banks in these cities
were found. Chief Desmon believes
that the checks are evidence, not only
that the men were ready for a big
swindle on local concerns, but that
they have been operating in other big
cities. None of the prisoners will talk.

\ Madison, Wis, oct. 1.-THE amaI-
.ing spectacle Of 800 fighting college
students, all lacking me- re or less cloth
linz. and several OF them absolutely
naked, edited citizens yesterday after
noon. The trouble occurred at the
conclusion of q freshman class meet
Ing, which was held In the university
gymnasium. As the members OF the
class issued from the building they
found about $50 sophomOres waiting
at the doors, and no sooner had the
freshmen appeared than they were set
upon. The affair was witnessed Dy
President Adams, several profesHo!S
and O large number of citizens ana
students, who had gathered to watch
the foot ball practice taking place on
the training field, just across the
street from the gymnasium building.
So far as is known no serious injuries
resulted, but large number Of the
participants were severely bruised,
many having been knocked out In the
ARRAY. A majority of the combatants.
had more or less Of their clothing torn
from their bodies, and several who
had rushed from practice in the gym,
nasium, dressed in light jersey gym"
suits, were quickly stripped In the
melee, aud under the pressure of the
excitement fought attired only in their
innocence.
Rev. A. j. Kempton, preacher of the
Baptist church of this city; who was
a spectator ut. the foot ball practice
and who crossed the street when the
fighting began, was caught in the
crowd and roughly handled. Henry
HOLSTER, student, was considerably
injured from the severe treatment he
received during the ARRAY, and Henry
Dorschel, left tackle of the foot ball
team, was involved in the battle. Os-
car Kull, president of the freshman
class and brother of the famous
Fred Kull, formerly center rush of
the university foot ball team, was in
the forefront of the battle, as became
his official position.
The result of the ARRAY was an in
glorious defeat to the sophomore class,
and at the conclusion of the battle sew
eral Of its members were ducked in
the lake. Toward the close Of the
struggle some one telephoned for the
city police, and the patrol wagon was
hurried to the scene. The arrival of
the police turned the minds of the
fighters from their mutual strike to
combat the officers, and conflict was
narrowly averted. The officers were
threatened with a ducking in Lake
Mendoza should they attempt to make
any arrests.

poets still favor lower prices, and &C
cumulated stocks of unsold goods are
very large. Wheat has declined 5-S
cents for cash, with better accounts of
winter and rapid seeding of spring.
With only two months of the crop year
remaining there is little to encourage
higher prices. Silk has weakened q
little, owing to the overlooking of Jap
anese dealers. Wool is weaker, the
wool year closing with the greatest
quantity of wool on hand ever carried
at this season. April sales were smaller
than in any month since June, 1894.
Exports continue both of domestic and
foreign wool, and sales by manufac-
turers who lack orders to continue pro-
duction. Wooden goods have not inn
proved in demand and flannels have
opened to 10 per cent lower than last
year, though the material decrease of
production has given to other mems
goods a rather stronger tone. Dress
goods are helped by the restriction of
foreign imports, but the association re-
ports that ON the whole wool machinery
is not more than half employed. Some
cotton mills have ceased production, in
Guiding one large printing establish
ment, and stocks ON hand still increase,
though for brown goods there has been
better legitimate demand, and great
quantities of ginghams have been
moved by drives at prices low beyond
all precedent. The decrease in ship
ment of wooden goods from Europe has
been quite marked, and stocks in ware
house are large and increasing.
Large purchases of lake ore by the
prin cipal consumers, contracts securing
control of low phosphorus ore and lower
rail rates to Chicago for Connellsville
coke in order to compete with Pocahon-
tas coke, are the main features in the
iron industry, but the revival of demand
is yet deferred. Higher prices for nails
have caused active buying for the week,
but large consumers decline to contract
as yet for bars, and the rod combination
has fallen through. Middlemen still
sell steel billets at $40 at Pittsbug
against $50 asked by the pool, but the
stock available is said to be only 30, 900
tons. Structural prospects are good,
but in other branches the demand is less
active, and Bessemer pig is weak at $l3
