Montezuma, Sept. 30.-Typhoid fever

our citizens. At this time Mr. A. A.

Frank Folkenburg has been wrestling

One implement dealer here is serious

Some miscreants, who failed to leave

room of the building, now occupied by
Mr.. Valentine, which joins the new
building there. They stocked up with
boots and other articles at hand.

A Much AbuAed Word.

The way certain words are misrlsed
and abused should appeal to one. 1t is
a fact that if any word has tried to
adapt itself to every possible and i'm
possible situation "grand" is the one
that has made the attempt. A person
needs but walk about any city to be
confronted with Grand hotels and
Grand View houses. Sometimes it fits
the house which it adorns, sometimes
it seems but a sardonic attempt to make
them seem the more forlorn. 1t rises to
the sublime and describes the noun
tains, it descends to the level of every
day life and appears as a descriptive
term when the weather is mentioned

Released From the Prison mt Rennea
and Goes to Nantes.
Rennes, Sept. 81. - Captain Alfred
Dreyfus ut 3 o'clock in the morning left
the prison here in which he had been con
fined since his return from the isle du
Diable and proceeded to Vern, where he
took a train bound for Nantes His de-
parture was completely unnoticed.
NJ. Niguie, the chief of the secret sery-
ice. and the project, M. Dureault, arrived
at the prison after midnight bringing
the minister of wars order for the re-
lease Of Dreyfus. The latter walked
from the prison to the boulevard Laenne,
where he entered waiting carriage and
was driven to the Vern station, outside
the town. Matthew Dreyfus met him at
the train and accompanied him to Nan
ties.
While this dramatic turn in the Drey-
fus drama was taking place all Rennes
slept, and the departure of the famous
prisoner of Devils island was no more
noticed than that of an ordinary tray
eer.
The carriage which was in waiting
was the same vehicle which took Drey-
fus to his prison when he returned from
Devils island. Dreyfus got in opposite
the house where Matte Labor had staid
previous to the shooting of the lawyer
and aighted about 500 yards from the
station and walked in regardless Of the
drilling rain. The Nantes train came
in just as he arrived. Alfred and Matthew
Dreyfus quickly took their seats, and the
train went out of Rennes, bearing Drey-
fus away, Il free man.
A small crowd of people had waited
round the prison until midnight, expect
ing the release of Dreyfus, but it then
dispersed, thinking it was too late for
Dreyfus to leave.
Nine. Dreyfus left Rennes at noon,
accompanied by her father anu friends.
