BURGLARS Al WORK
Thomas Hendrlckson's Saloon Was
Entered by Burglars Some
Time Tuesday Night.
1t Is Commonly Supposed to Be the
Work Of Local Talent Their
4 Work Was Coarse.

The disciples of Bill Skies got in
their work in Princeton again last
Tuesday night and this time the saloon
of Thomas Hendrickson suffered from
the visit. Wy ~. s .435
{ Entrance was gained by way Of the
basement where the thirst Of. the
visitors first exhibited itself, a case Of
beer being opened and q couble of bot
ties removed. From there they
assembled the stairs to the bar room
and the cash register was tapped and
all the change taken. This amount
did not satisfy the marauders and the
slot machine received their attention.
This was broken into and the nickels
amounting to 81 or. SIS taken. 4@.ss,, :
The amount of cash secured is not
known but it was not large. Mr..
Hendrickson cannot tell how much of
his stock was stolen either but it is
thought the burglars were poorly paid
for the risk they ran. 49, :. s,s,;tE = HI
This is the second saloon robbery,
the other being that of Jack Brennan's
saloon few weeks ago. In both cases
the perpetrators appeared to be per-
fectly familiar with the building and
to know just where togo for the swag.
The similarity Of the operations leads
people to think that both jobs were
done by the same parties and there is
a further suspicion that the work is
that of local talent. ...: -. g.:
It is to be hoped that the perpetra-
tors will be detected Immediately and
it is safe to predict that if they are
ever brought to the bar they will re-
ceive summary treatment by the court.

I Senator Barker and his constituents
OF Isanti county were greatly disap-
pointed over the killing Of his Rum
river dam bills by the logs and lumber
committee and Senator Barker made a
hard fight to save one of the bills.
These bills wereintended to minimize
the damage suffered by farmers from
the overflow of the river. 70. -
Senator Hospes, chairman of the
committee, said the passage of the bill
would practically tie up the Rum river
Lumber industry and the small good it
might do a few farmers did not war
rant the passage of the bill. He wanted
the bill killed. 49, -., 49,,
Senator Buchanan of Morrison county,
said the farmers used to be annoyed by
overflow, but times and conditions
were now. changed, and while the law
might benefit few farmers on the
lower reaches Of the Rum, it would do
great injury to the lumber interests
along the upper reaches. -.
Senator Barker's substitute motion
was then killed, he alone voting for it.
A bill OF a similar nature and provid-
ing that after June the lumber dams
in that river be so lowered as to allow
the water to reach it's natural level,
was also killed, against the expressed
wishes of Senator Barker.-lli7,7aeap-

Beaulieu Again.

Gus Beaulieu called upon the Indian
commissioner Tuesday and requested
that Commissioner Oar Hall be d.
rected to make an investigation of
some difficulty that has arisen between
Indians and white settlers at Mile
Laos. The Indian complainants are
Chief Ain-dus-o-kesh1g and Go-gee.
They allege that white settlers claim
land upon which they have lived and
improved prior to the. settlement of
any whites upon the reservation. The
reds desire to have a settlement of the
matter postponed until action by the
commissioner next winter, when they
expect legislation to reimburse them
for Improvements made on their lands.
If they secure the desired reimburse
ment they will give up the land, other
wise they will contest the claims of the
whites. y

Considerable has been said lately
about the duties of a postmaster when
contagious diseases affiict him or his
family. The regulations of the de-
partment provide that whenever
quarantine is established or whenever
reputable practicing physician pro-
nOunces the disease contagious, the
postmaster shall Immediately notify
his bondsmen to take charge of his
Office and if the Office is conducted in
the same building as his residence it
shall be removed to other quarters
until such a time as the quarantine
shall be raised or the physician declare
Danger OF cOntaglOn past. The regu-
lations are strict in this matter and
even provide for the burning of the
books and stamps where it is deemed
advisable by the board of health. Any
carrier who persists in taking mail
from one Office to another after notice
that quarantine exists is amenable to
the law in such case made and provi-
ded. In the matter of the Blue Hill
trouble the postmaster claims that the
quarantine was never properly estab-
lished. The regulations however are
explicit and state that this is not
necessary, the word of a reputable
physician alone being sufficient to stop
the exchange of mails.

How to Kill Flies.

Scientists now claim that they have
discovered method of DISCRIMINATING
house flies which they contend would
rid the country of them in, three or
four seasons. AS has been stated here
tofore it is claimed the flies all come
into existence in stables. And the
plan proposed for their determination
is that every stable-owner should be
obliged by an ordinance, vigorously
enforced, to keep upon his premises a
saucer of water containing small
quantity of the required poison. This
poison is a preparation of arsenic,
known as COBALT 1t can be obtained
in the crude form from any druggist.
The flies are not attracted by the
poison, but they want the water, and
in drinking swallow enough of the
arsenic to kill them. The insects
newly Matched, so straight tothe fatal
dish, and are speedily exterminated.
It is believed that if this plan were
faithfully carried out, the flies Of the
second season would be comparatively
scarce; by the third season they would
almost have entirely disappeared, and
thereafter fly would be a rare sight.
The remedy is SO simple aud effective
that it seems irrational to longer sub
nit to the nuisance. It requires no
expenditure Of time, labor or money.

WAS HIS !. SISTER mt
Two New Settlers at the Lake Bear
Unsavory Regulations Their
Sin rlade Public
Kept House in st. Cloud as Brother
and Sister, But Their Rela-
tions Were Otherwise.

.$ a NUMBER OF people who were more
or less familiar with William Epper-
son and sister, who occupied rooms last
fall and winter over St. German
street business block, have lately come
to the conclusion that the man and his
sister were not just what they
would have their friends believe.
/ The couple came to ST. Cloud last
summer from nobody knew where and
Epperson engaged employment in the
grocery store Of Robert Greutzmacher,
on St. German, taking living rooms
in the same building. The man. was
OF middle age and the woman was
some years younger although she had
lost the flower of her youth. :=..=g -
The couple kept we'll to themselves,
making: few intimate acquaintance
but to those to whom they were intro
duced they said they were brother and
sister and they had come from Iowa.
The man was industrious and sober
and the woman to all outward appear
ances a lady, but the neighbors are
now recalling suspicious circumstances
and wondering why they did not
sooner think that something was
wrong about the pair. ..
The denouement came some time
ago but it has been kept very quiet for
the aid of the authorities was never
directly invoked to bring to them a
sense. of their sins. - =
The first ,intimation % anybody had

Epperson and his sister was when a
young man sought a lawyers Office and
inquired whether in this State it was
necessary that a notary witness the
signing of a deed to land from hus-
band to wife. He explained that his
father had deserted his mother in a
small Iowa town and had now agreed
to transfer some real estate to his for
saken wife as restitution in part for
his wrong-doing. Later. the lawyer
was called upon by a beautiful and
handsomely dressed woman. She
sought legal advice as to the same
case: This lady represented herself
tie be the sister of the wronged wife
down in Iowa and she had made the
trip here to begin legal proceedings
which would land the hayward hus-
band in the quay. 1t was explained
that certain fundamental evidence must
be obtained that the couple were living
in state which the law frowns upon,
and to secure this evidence the visitor
decided to disguise herself as book
agent and to visit the living apart.
