with an unusual condition of things.
The blinds were all down, pinned
securely, the safe doors were open and
in front OF them lay great array of
tools-chisels, files hammers, sledge-
hammer, drills, punches, etc., which
plainly told the story of burglarious
visit. Entrance was gained to the
Office by cutting small hole in the
panel of the west door, and easily turn
ing the lock. They drilled a hole in
outer safe door, close to the combi-
nation lock, and it was 80 accurately
made that they were able to break the
lock with punch. They then drilled
on the inner door with the hope OF the
same success but in this they failed and
had to resort to gunpowder. The
explosion, however, did not result
in the way they expected and it failed
to break the lock. 1t is presumed
that in this failure they gave up
the job as fruitless one and
left it unfinished. Had they got

likely they would have been able to
have drilled through the chilled-steel
money chest. The tools with which
they drilled were stolen from Kear.
ney's blacksmith shop. The clock was
placed in position where they could
keep watch of the flight of time and the
floor around the safe was strewn with
burned matches. Both locks of the
safe we're ruined and Mr.. Daniels had
to secure the services of Geo. Summers
to open the inner door, he putting in
two hours of hard work to accomplish
it. There has been no clew obtained
as to who did the job.
Mr.. Daniels says this the third lime
his safe has been blown open and the
first time they secured Sl0o. After
that Mr.. Daniels said he never LEFT
much money in the safe and if the rob
bers had effected an entrance this time
they would have got very little money
The second time the robbers received
no reward for their labor, and were
equally unsuccessful on this occasion.

Famous Fossil Deposits of Wyoming.
Prof. j. f. Todd state geologist of
the University at Vermillion, who ID
making Mitchell his headquarters at
present while making some geological
surveys and explorations of the James
River basin, has received an invitation

famous fossil deposits in Wyoming.
These lie north of Laramie. The rail-
road company will run an excursion
train to that point and scientific men

invited to accompany it. Hundreds of
tons of fine fossils have been found in
the beds near Laramie, and it is proba-
BILE that Prof. Todd will succeed in OBJ

Incidents of Mrs. Mcv.y,s Life


Harriet Coffing was born in Pennsyl-
vania, August IA, 1884. She was the
youngest of sixteen children, of whom
one sister and one brother still survive.
aer childhood was spent in Ohio,
where the years rounded out perfect
womanhood, gracious in appearance, in
thought and word and deed.
She received her education at Ober-
lin college. Early identified with the
church and it's work, she was among the
fret of the missionary teachers in the
part of New York City known as Five
Points, where she labored in company
with her brother, Jackson Coffing, who
was afterwards martyred missionary
in Turkey.
In 1859 Harriet Cof1ing became the
wife of John G. McVay and to them
were born nine children, five sons and
four daughters. Three sons died in
early childhood leaving six children to
be loved and sheltered. During the
absence of her soldier husband and in
the years that followed, bringing trials
and adversely, trouble and sorrow as
we'll as happiness and prosperity, she
proved herself to be brave and loyal
wife and mother and faithfully did she
fulfill her mission as the mainstay Of
the homo.
This life, whose morning dawned
o1~ 81
vania and which endured the heat and
burden of midday in Iowa, met the
shades of evening in South Dakota,
passed into the eternity of peace and
rest at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
G. B. Lincoln, Des Moines, Iowa,
whence the body was followed by the
bereaved husband and children to the
last resting place in Woodland Gene.

A GOOD LIFE CLOSED.

Mrs. Mcyay Died at the Home of her
Daughter in Des Moines.
1t is our sad duty to inform Mitchell
friends the quite sudden death of Mrs.
Harriet G. McVay which occurred in
Des Moines, Iowa, on the morning OF
July l3. The deceased had gone from
her home in ST. Lawrence, S. D., on
June 2S, to that of her daughter in the
hope that superior medical skill and
change of climate might restore her
failing health. This hope was shat
tered by fatal attack of heart failure
at the time stated above. Her daugh.
ter, Winifred, had accompanied her
upon the trip and was with her at the
end. The rest Of the family hastened
at the call of death to perform the las1
service their love could offer.

which netted them over $40. Director
Rathbun has been working up some
new music for the engagement and the

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The who suffers from ILL
health stands little show of being sue
ceSsful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsineSS, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave a competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
servers. 1t makes the stomach strong and
active. It sends a man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates
the flow of digestive juices and makes as
similation perfect. 1t invigorates the liver.
1t purifes the blood and fills it with the
life-giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great blood maker and flesh builder. 1t
tears down inert, half dead tissues and
builds new, firm, muscular flesh. 1t does
not build fabby fat like cod liver oil ard
does not make people more corpulent.
Mr.. John Brooks, of Boyston, Mass, writes: Z" I
write to tell you of the great benefit 1 have re-
ceived from DR.. Picrce's Golden Medical Discov-
eryv / was taken with bad cold which settled
sumption and could not get well. 1 took Cod
Liver Oil and it did me no good. After taking

What The RitzvilIe Painter Has
to Saw.

Very many persons ignore the laws
of ratu.e, which control harmony and
discord of colors. Practically, they act
upon the theory that colors may be
arranged any old way, with view to
answer taste. They go on arranging
colors for their painter upon the theory
or supposition that certain tint or
shade will look well on given feature,
without reference to its collocation in
regard to other colors. On the con-
trary, harmony or discord in color de-
pend not on the will or caprice or per-
sonal ta>t tie of anyone, but is based on
certain interchangeable laws. Persons
not familiar with these laws, deter
mine by the eye only, without the
knowledge of harmony and discord in
colors. The rainbow or solar spectrum
is probably the prettiest arrangement
oil color in nature. 1t is the founda-
ton on which has been built the
theory Of color harmony. The rainbow

JESSE James, Il son of the notorious
dead bandit, a resident of Kansas city,
is under arrest and being tried for
train robbery, and has been positively
identified by VIM. S. Smith, OF Stocks
burg, Mo-, who was a passenger on the
Missouri Pacific train the night it
was held up. Young James for some
time has ostensibly been following an
honest vocation, keeping cigar stand,
and succeeded fairly well for awhile
in fooling the people, who at the
preliminary examination swore to his
good character. As the twig is bent
