BROKE INTO A LAUNDRY.

Some time between ten O'Clock Satur
day night and Monday morning thieves
broke into the Cumberland steam laun'

safe. When the proprietor closed the
shop Saturday night he placed the silver
in a bag and rolled the bills up separate
". These were placed in the safe and the
laundry CLOSED as usual. A search OF
the promises revealed that entrance was
effected by means of window in the
basement. This window had not teen
unlocked since last summer and the fact
that the safe was not damaged in any
way leads to the superstition that Who
ever the oulprit was be was we'll &C

postoftice up here in the woods of Min
nesota-a sort Of little preserve of his
own In the wilds of Douglass county.
Frank Carpenter, the star-router who
supplies SUI Tanners postofice, says that
the governor is one Of the best known
sportsmen who come to this land of
lakes, and that he is spreading his pos
sessions out through the woods. Some
time ago he purchased a tract of timber
bordering on Lake Miltona and erected a
modest building, in which a Norwegian
sa1lor-farmer, named Christ Berg, with
his family, is installed Berg was made
postmaster, and as such receives and dis
patches the mail of the M0nmouth cid
and other clubs located on the lake.
Berg pays the taxes on the property,
for which he is allowed to lick postage
stamps and raise crops of wheat and
turntps on the cleared ground adjoinJSe.
The spot is a picturesque one and it
seems like turning back the wheeE of
time to witness a mail distribution. The
patrons of the Miltona postofice set
around on logs and stumps White Sailor
Berg sorts over the mail and swaps news
with Star-Router Carpenter.
