Assured Security,

The Wetherell Electric Alarm placed
in the Cresco Union Savings Bank is
new device, which will most effect
ually render funds deposited, safer
from the raids of burglars and rob-
bers. Recently bank robberies have
been committed in the day, the rob-
bers taking the hour of about noon
for their raid upon the bank. AT that
hour merchants and thu people gen
orally are at their dinners, and the
bank, ii kept open for the nccommo-
dation of patrons aud the public, is
in charge OF a single Individual. The
robher enters, covers the cashier with
II brace of revolvcrs and says "hands
APP, leaving one of the tsaa:s to guard
the door while another gathers in the
cash in sight. With the electric alarm,
the cashier can obey the command Of
"hands up" while placing his foot
upon the electric button that will
ring u bell in adjoining business plac-
es where the bank has placed loaded
fire arm for the use of its clerks and
proprietors, who will Immediately
make rush, for the bank intent up.
on killing or capturing the robbers.
These electric buttons are in various
places in the bank. SO that q person
in charge can scarcely be in such a
position that but one of these alarms
can be reached. AS sometimes hap
pens should the person in charge be
locked in the vault Il button there
enables him to give the alarm at the
places where. the electric bells are
placed. To prevent night burglaries,
az alarm is SO placed that the burg
lar cannot approach the vault with.
out settin an alarm bell to ringing,
which, when started will continue to
peal ont its loud alarm until stopped
by some person who is couversant
with this combination. With this
combination of alarms banks are alb
solutely safe from successful raids
from bands of robbers organized for
plumber and theft.

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Russell Ward, of Recent Elopement
Fame, LIS Killed.

Wheatland, Ia, Sept. AT five
o'clock Friday morning the conductor
of a west-bound Northwestern freight
train discovered the remains of man
attired in nothing but suit of under
clothing lying between the double
tracks about half mile west of this
place. The body was brought here.
Later u telegram from the general
claim agent of the railway revealed
the fact that the dead man was Rus
sell Ward, and that he had been a pas.
senger aboard the Overland limited,
which passed this point at 2:45 n. m.
An examination of his clothing made
known his name and that his ticket
was from San Francisco to New York.
Further particulars concerning him
are not known here as yet. 1t Is the
belief, however, that he is the Russell
Ward, an Englishman, whose elopement
with Mrs. John Bradbury, of Los
Angeles, CAL, caused sensation in
July last.
1t is supposed that he arose from his
berth in the sleeping car, and mtstal-
ing the vestibule door for the door to
the toilet room, stepped off the swift
ly-speeding train to his death. He was
untouched by the wheels, but his hip
was broken, and the means OF his
death was apparent in an ugly wound
In the forehead. The body was other
wise badly bruised and abraided. In
dicatiops along the track showed that
the body had bounded or been dragged
fully so feet from the point where 1t
frst touched the earth. The coroner's
inquest was held at one o'clock Friday
afternoon, and verdict of accidental
death was returned. The remains were
embalmed and now lie in the city hall
awaiting the disposition of friends.

Cavalier oounty's oodfathers.

They are telling new story on the
Pembina statesman, which, while lack
ing the elementary principles of truth is
amusing. 1t is said when he decided to
create new county ont of the west end
Of Pembina, Jud went down to Yankton
in old territorial days and introduced q
bill to create Cavalier county'-namine
it in honor Of that grand old man, still a
a hale and hearty resident there. But
as the story goes-Jud-- to that
theory-"He counts the day, whose low
descending sun, as lost without another
sucker done"-so Jud goes to an old
tailor in Yankton, orders $50 suit of
clothes and offers to name county for
him, for receipted bill. The tailor's
name was "Cavalier" and it is said, now
resides IN Huron. He glories in the honor
of having one of the best counties in
North Dakota bearing his name, Uncle
Charlie rejoices that it is named after
him and-Jud got the clothes.-Fargo

The friends of Cuba feel that
they have been buncoed by the
administration, and they are dis
posed to hold Mr.. Mckinley re-
sponsible. 1t is true that he did
not personally make any promises,
but promises were made by those
who came as near to claiming to
speak FOR him as it was possible
without actually doing so, that it
was the intention of Mr.. Mckinley
to speedily put into operation his
policy, which the speakers declared
would make Cuba independent.
Those promises secured pledges
from republican members of the
house that they would aid in pre-
venting the senate belligerency re-
solution from being brought be-
fore the house until Mr.. Mckinley
had been given ample time to do
something. Now it is ascertained
that it may be weeks, even months,
before Mr.. Mckinley acts upon
the policy which he has in mind,
if he really has one in mind.
