BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY.
THIEVES SECURE OVER oeOO
WORTH OF JEWELRY.
sleP, the vtctim-The store En-
tered During Business Hours

One OF the boldest diamond robberies that
has occurred In the city for months hap
pened IN Louis K,odf's jewelry store on
the corner Of Marion and Second avenue
last evening about O'Clock. Thirty dia-
mond rings aEgregating In value about
$500, were stolen from q showcase In the
store In q manner that demonstrated the
cool nerve and ability OF the thief.
From the story the police have Of tho
robbery at least two men were involved
in tho theft One Of them came into the
store when only one clerk was In. and
asked to have his watch set. The clerk
took up the watch to set II, and In doing 10
turned his hack to the front Of the store.
He set tho watch. and turning around sud
denly. saw a man who had followed the
owner Of the watch in. going out Of tho
door. He thought nothing Of the mat
ter and gave the watch back. The owner
then left the store also
A few minutes later Mr.. Klodt returned
from dinner. He had been In but . few
moments when a man came and gave
him two diamond rings which he said he
had found on the sidewalk. Mr. Klodt
recognised the rings a. his. and made a
search 10 see IL any others were missing
He found a tray containing thirty rings
gone. His FIRST impulse was to examine
the sidewalk more closely. which ne did,
with the result that he found two more
rings. II h supposed the thief In his
hasty flight dropped four OF the rinsa
The clerk who was In charge Of the
store at the time the robbery Is sup
posed 10 have happened IL OF the opinion
that three men came into the store at
the time he was given the watch 20 sci.
He says that he took no particular notice
OF the men. and probably would not he
able TO recognize them srain.
The matter was reported to the poi,oa
and Detectives Barbee and Williams were
detailed on the case. The police are Of
the opinion that the theft was committed
by Eastern crooks

trouble, and that the water failed to
reach such a height as was expected
from the reports that came down from
up the river, we desire to state that it
was all due to the fact that Editor
Tuttle and the Mandan Pioneer had
the old thing harnessed up and refused
to let go until it was safe to do so.
The Missouri river is the especial prop
erty Of the Pioneer and whenever we
want to know just when the river will
break, just how high Editor Tuttle
will allow the water to rise, just what
conditions prevail, have prevailed and
will prevail above, below, in the mid
die, on the side, and at various places,
W. have merely to look in the Pioneer
OF the Mandan dispatches to the east
ern papers. For example, there was
a telegram in the st. Paul paper the
other day to the effect that the river
would not break above until it was
ready below, and that consequently
there would be no trouble. 1t was
plain from this that futile had some
kind of a hold on the Missouri and that
the river did not dare to let 20 above
until the Pioneer was ready. People
who worry about the river while the
Pioneer is running things are short
sighted and nervous.

The dilapidated old democratic party
is worse off than ever. On the ami.
versary of the birth of Thomas Jeffer-
son. there were held through the cOun-
try various dinners, participated i'll by
factions of the party claiming to have
had Jefferson for it's founder, when as
:: matter of fact Jefferson neither knew
nor dreamed Of such political principles
as are advocated by the divided demo-
cratic party of today. But Jefferson
is dead and cannot help the use Of his
lame, and the democratic party is in
the 1hroes Of the death struggle. In
commenting on the present condition
of the party, the st. Louis Globe Dem
oclat observes:
The Democratic party has been in
existence for Il good many years. but
nobody ever saw it broken up into so
many fragments as it is ut this mo-
ment. 1t has no leader anywhere who
has the faintest chance to join these
fragments into any sort of a SEM
blance of unity. The indications nov
are that if Bryan is defeated for the
nomination in the regular convention
next year his friends will put him Oh
an Independent ticket. This is the
spirit represented by Altgeld in his
stand against all the democrats who
voted for Harrison. This was the
spirit shown by Bryan in his letter to
Belmont when he assailed the latter
for supporting Palmer in 1896. In
Bryan's w wing Of the party he ap-
pears to be far ahead of all other pos
sible aspirants. Moreover, that wing
will accept no fellowship with any
other faction of the democrats except
on an abject surrender to what Alt
geld calls the Chicago platform dem
Ocracy. A powerful section of the
democracy in the west and south seem
disposed to cling to Bryan through
evil and good report, regardless of the
consequences to their party in the
present and the future.
1t was formerly thought to be inn
possible for a minority party to have
any feudS with itself hard enough to
iniure it's chances to win, if there were
any chances. The present condition
of the democracy destroys this assump-
ton. The democratic party is far in
the rear in numerical strength, and in
the standing and ability Of its leaders.
1t was not strong enough at any time
since 1896 to carry the country, even
if the republicans had made as many
plumbers as democrats had predicted
they would make, but which they care
fully refrained from committing. Yet
the democrats have now taken steps
to break themselves up into at least
two sections in 1900. Each side re-
fuses to recognize the other as belong
ing to the democratic faith. Each de-
sires republican victory rather than
the triumph of the other element. At
the dinners in honor of Jefferson in
New York this week each branch Of
the party will tiguratively drive the
other out of the democratic commun-
ion. The members Of a party which
has no chance to win, and whose lead
ers recognize this fact, are at liberty
to speak their minds freely regarding
their enemies. In each Of the ap-
preaching dinners of mutually hostile
democrats there will be some pictur.
esque d%enunciation of democratic a
plots and traitors.

that the 500 road has settled upon the
Bismarck extension from BraddOck
and that the coming summer will see

it would be impossible for the 500 to
secure rails with which to build extern

loosen up on the corner he seems to

is new, may be surprised to learn that
there is a place in the state that was
settled by whites 100 years ago. The
place is at Walhalla, Pembina county,

first settlement of the Red River val
ley, the old settlers Of the state have
arranged for a celebration of the an

%. Special excursion trains will be

through the state as to the companies
of the North Dakota regiment with
General Lawton in his expedition to
Santa Cruz. Judging from the reports

Lawton had with him the battalion of

state. Company A of Bismarck was
not with the expedition, having been
left with the other companies of the
