PURSUED BY WOLVES.
Thrilling Experience OF a North
Dakota Embezzler.
Julius Sorenson Underwent Terrible
Suffering In His Flight.

Julius Sorenson, who embezzled 5000
Of Northern Pacific express funds while
agent at Grand Harbor, Ramsey county,
N. d., has been arrested and part of
the money recovered. He confessed To
the crime and agreed TO return without
requisition papers. His adventures in es-
Gaping from the snow bound town read
like romance.
AS result Of poker game New
Years day Sorenson appropriated $500
OF the express company's money. Tho
discrepancy was discovered by officials
the following day, and warrant was
sworn out for his arrest, but before il
could be served Sorenson took $500
more and in the dead of night left
Grand Harbor. A terrible snowstorm
was raging at the time, with the ther-
mometer below zero, and all the rail
roads were blockaded. Sorensons only
avenue Of escape lay in walking, and at
O'Clock he commenced his journey 10
DEVILS Lake, the nearest town, dis
tance of nine miles. The fugitive walk
ed along the railroad tracks. He was
severely frozen when he reached his des-
tination, which was five hours after he
started. Fearful that the officials at
DEVILS Lake would be notified of his
departure from Grand Harbor, Sorenson
walked across the lake to Fort Totten.
The following morning he walked to
New Rockford, 10 miles from Fort Tot
ten.
The fugitive remained in New Rock
ford during that day, and at night again
commenced his tedious and perilous
journey to place Of safety. He chose
the Northern Pacific railroad tracks, and
when between Darlington and James
town new danger came upon him. Dis
NAL howls Of the prairie wolf were
heard all round him, and not infrequent-

for stout club he had with him. He
had lived in Dakota for several years
and was well aware that at this time of
the year wolves are very ferocious. II
was nearly midnight, and the howls and
yelps of the animals could be plainly
heard on all sides. The cries became
more distinct at every step, and Soren-
son knew that he was being surrounded.
After walking for over mile Sorenson

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.


| When one notices the difference In the ave r
age people OF England and America regarding
their diet and digestive abilities. some natural
inquiries come up What does the English
man eat that gives HIM such good digestion.
ana what is the reason for 80 much dyspepsia
among Americansf s~N HF
Rudyard -Kipling makes out pie belt
through New England. and says its pathway
is strewn with dyspeptics. The American's
love for lard-loaded pastry is probably the
cause OF some trouble, but the apparently
harmless coffee Is without doubt the father
OF more stomach troubles In America than any
other item OF food or drink. Great Britain
consumes about 30,0O0.0O0 pounds Of coffee
annually while America diosposes OF some
thing like $780, 900. nearlysor quite eleven
times as much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the same
poisonous alkalodis in coffee ms are found in
strychnine, morphine, tobacco and whisley.
These slight poisons taken daily, accumulate
until the effect on the nerves and stomach is
pitiabe with some people (who are peculiarly
susceptible to roisons): the doses are contin-
ued from day TO day without knowledge of
what is so surely destroying the power Of
nerves and stomach.
IL Is trial to give up coffee, but new
beverage has made its appearance ON the
market which is so like Java coffee in its deep
seal brown color and assuming the rich golden
brown OF thick Mocha when cream is added,
that lovers OF coffee who are denied its use
because OF the effects can adopt this new food
drink freely. The change in taste is so
slight that many do not discover that any
change has been made. The new product is
called Postum, and IL is asserted by the man.

RHODE IsLA ND looks TO MARCH :.

RHODE ISLAND LOOKS TO MARCH &
| A discussion Of National politics Il
hardly in order now, a. the issues are very
satisfactorily settled for the next four
years. But we may follow the example OF
the cautious merchant at this season OF
the year and take our inventory. Our
assets are wholly Republican success
and Republican plans, and our liabilities
Republican promises. We may congratu-
late ourselves that our assets are so very
far in excess OF our. r.liabilities, but as the
merchant, similarly financially situated,
In order to maintain his credit, must
promptly meet each individual liability,
SO we must also fulfill to the letter, each
and every political promise made. That
New England is a thoroughly Repu blican
district, the returns in the Noyem ber
election from almost every voting booth
very clearly demonstrated. A portion OF
eWilson-G German tariff bill was certainly
aimed at New England and squarely hit
the bull's-eye every time. New England
willingly accepted the challenge and
the returns from the last cam
psign show an increased Republican
vote of over 1852. 900 over 1892 and de-
creased Democratic vote OF the various
democratic families combined, of neatly
l22, 200. A few more Wilson's In a few
more Democratic administrations, would
make it imperative that an aindavit
should be made,to prove that free trade
Democrat was candidate for the
suffrsges of New England voters.
Statistics show that Rhode Island capt.
tai to the amount Of over "a million is
invested in the wooden and worsted busi-
ness and did give means Of liveli hood to
nearly eighteen thousand employees.
Thanks to the Wilson German Bill, that |
enormous amount has recently been worse
than dead, because in place of producing
an income. nearly three 'fourths Of al
the mills have been closed for two years
or more, and is actually source of ex-
pense for watchers, insurance, etc., and
the vast number of employees without en-
ployment has been unable to earn live
lihood.
The News, all through the late cam
pnign frequently and lpersistently stated
hat the tariff was one of the important
issues, and Rhode Island voters fully un-
ierstood the truth of the matter, and the
special session soon to be called will de-
this fulillment of Repub blican
promise by promptly substituting speci.
ic, for ad valorem duties on imported
yoolens, thereby securing square, honest
Republican deal in place OF the dishonor-
'ble Democratic makeshift.

A Word From Indiana,

A friend of Mr.. E. c. Davis, who
has known him from birth hearing
that Mr.. Davis is the candidate of the
silver forces for county clerk, writes
from the old home, at Salem, Indiana,
to testify 20 Cliff Davis worthlness.
Among other things he says, in letter
to the DEMOCRAT editor:
DEAR SIR-Learning that you are
the Chairman of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee Of Barton county
Kansas, l take the liberty of writing
you in regard to one of your county
nominees, namely, E. G. Davis. The
writer of these lines having been
placed in position to know your can,
didate for county clerk well in his boy
hood and young manhood days in
Washington county, Ind, feels very
safe in saying if his political enemies
will investigate his character and life
in his old home county they will never
say one word about it until after the
election. L see from a Kansas
paper that you have combination

The New Ballot Law.

When it comes to election this fall
the voter will note few changes in the
ballot law as it applies to him. In the
first place he will get ticket with his
poll list number on its upper right
hand corner. This he might not notice
at all unless his attention is called to
it.
When he gets into the booth and un-
folds his ballot on the shelf he will find
it don't hang down so far over the
edge. 1t will be much smaller. Then
the blank space with its square. under
each name, will have disappeared; and
if he wants to write the name of a can
didate for any Office he will have to go
over to the column of blank spaces at
the right hand side of the ballot
The tickets on the ballots, be will, if
he is close observer. remark are more
plainly separate by a double line. And
the square in which to mark the cross
that indicates his choice is moved over
from the left of the column to the
right. This is the greatest change and
may prove confusing to some who have
got it firmly fixed in their minds that
they must mark to the left of the name.
But the hand will no longer cover the
ticket that is to be voted, and the mark
ing can be done much more readily and
conveniently.
The arrangement of the tickets on
the ballot is 10 longer haphazard, or
according to the whims of the county
clerk or the directions of the state com
mittee of his party which is ANXIOUS to
confuse the opposition party. The Re-

of the town to the residence of n. S.
Ream. in the south east part of town.
The fire apparently started in closet
under stairway. There was no one
at home when the fire was discovered,
Mrs. Ream having been gone from the
house about half an hour. The fire
had got such headway that when the
first parties got there and broke into
the house it was so full Of dense smoke
that few of the household goods could
be removed. Only the outer shell of
the honse, a. story and half frame,
and little OF the.eontents were saved
We understand that there was $500 in
surance on the house and contents.
