A Robber Made an Attempt to Rob Burn
SIDES Safe in Broad Daylight.
A couple of fellows displayed good
deal of nerve Saturday evening about 6
o'clock, when one of them made an At
tempt to go through c. Burnside's safe
At that hour John Reid, the head
clerk, was alone in the store, the rest
of the force having gone to supper, and
two strangers stepped into the store
and made several small purchases.
They left the store when they were
through and Mr.. Reid paid no more
attention to them. Immediately after
three customers came in and while he
was engaged in waiting upon them
his attention was directed to the
creaking of the safe door, at least that
is what he thought it was and he made
an investigation at once. On reaching
the rear OF the store, where the safe
stands in an obscure place, he discov-
cred one of the strangers in a crouch
ing attitude with one of the doors open.
On being discovered the fellow took to
his heals and made bis escape through
the rear door. Mr.. Reid made q grab
at him and caught min by the coat, but
the fellow broke away and ran south
through the alley, across the street
and over the haymsrket place, where
he made his escape, being to feet of
foot for Mr.. Reid, who chased him for
block and then gave up the pursuit.
There was no one in sight at that
particular moment whom he could call
upon tor assistance. 1t was q daring
piece Of work but the fellow evidently
was safe in the act from its very dar-
ing, and was evidently aware that Mr..
Reid would be alone long enough for
him to commit the robbery. 1t was an
easy matter for the fellow to gain an
entrance lnso the store at the rear
door, the view of which is shut off by .
partition and it was only step or two
to the safe, which 10 partially hidden
behind some goods piled to nearly the
same height. No clew could be obtain

made for them.

A SCHEME FOR SOLDIERS.
A Mitchell Man Has = Proposition That

A Mitchell Man Has Proposition That
Will be of Benefit to the Volunteers.
A gentleman OF this city, who did
not care to have his name mentioned,
has plan in reference to bringing the
South Dakota regiment home which he
thinks will be of much benefit to the
boys. He would do away with the
proposition to pay the expenses of the
boys trip home from California and
arrange for the payment of bounty of
$3.50 to each man who enlisted in the
regiment, which sum he says should be
contributed by the next legislature, but
be paid at once to the volunteers. He
wants it understood that this is . non-
partisan plan and that by this method
every taxpayer in the state would have
an opportunity to contribute for the
purpose. It would cost the state about
$3.50 900 and he figured that the per
capita would be q very light burden
and would increase mans taxes in q
very small way. He believed that one
OF the great difficulties to be met when
the boys arrived home would be to pro-
vide them with work and the $3.50
would be the means of tiding them
over an embarrassing period until they
could find something to do. He would
like to see democrats, populists and
republicans alike enter into the plan
and send men to the legislature who
would agree to the payment of the
money. The gentleman says he would
not do away with the receptions but let
every town honor its own boys in any
manner they may desire.

FISHERMEN ARE UNTRUTHFUL.
Acfuated by Moral Perversity In
separabie From the Sport.
From the Century.

4pHl tHe century.
Never believe a fisherman who tells YOU
That he does not care about the fish he
catches. He may say that he angles only
Tor the pleasure of being out of doors and
mat ne is just as well contented when he
taxes nothing as when he makes a good
catch He may think so, but it is not true
lie is not telling a deliberate falsehood. He
IS only assuming an unconscious pose and
indulging in a delicate bit of self-fattery
Even if it were true it would not be at all
to his credit
Watch him on that lucky day when he
comes home with full basket of trout on
MS shoulder or a quartet of silver salmon
covered with green branches in the bottom
OF the canoe. His face is broader than it
was when he went out, and there is a SPAR
kle of triumph in his eyes. 1T is naught
1t Is naught" he says, in modest deprecia-
ton OF his triumphs. But you shall see that
he fingers fondly about the place where
the fish are displayed upon the grass and
does not fail to look carefully at the scales
when they are weighed and has an atten-
tive ear for the comments of admiring spec
tators. You shall find, moreover, that he is
not unwilling to narrate the story of the
capture-how the fish rose short, four diff
ferent times, to four different flies and
finally took a small black dose and PLAYED
all over the pool, and ran down terribly
stiff rapid to the next pool below, and
sulked for twenty minutes and had to be
stirred up with stones, and made such a
long fight that when he came in at last the
hold of the hook was almost worn through
and it fell out of his mouth as he touched
the shore. Listen to this tale as it is told,
with endless variations, by every man who
has brought home a fish and you will per-
ceive that the fisherman does care for his
luck after all.

FLAPS ON SCREEN DOORS,
The 1nGnisitive Citizen Succeeds in
Solving a Deep Mystery,

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
If you want to know in what part of
Chicago you are look at the screen door of
the nearest grocery or drug store or notion
shop If there is "a fantastic adornment of
paper on the door you are in all probable
ity, on the south side and south of goth
street. For the south sders are indulging
IN a luxury that does not seem to be
known to any great extent on the north
and west sides.
ms ornament on the screen doors is
made of all sorts of paper, but it is gen.
orally light in color and of the same gen.
eral shape 1t looks as if the storekeeper
had taken sheet of wrapping paper fold
ed 1t in the middle, and cut into it at in
tervals of an inch or so nearly to the fold
And that Is exactly what he has done
Then he runs string through the paper
just below the fold and fastens it across
the door so that the flaps hang down
straight. If he is frugal one row of flaps
satisfies him. If he isn't he has two and
may have three.
III there is a draught through the store
the paper wiggles and flaps all day long
When any one opens the door the flaps fly
out straight, to fall back again when the
cGor is closed The first one made its ap-
pearance at Attn street and Indiana avenue
early last week. Now they are as common
as screen doors.
An inquisitive citizen who could not fig
ure out what on earth this fantastic decor
alton was for nearly went crazy as they
increased in number. He was curious over
the first one he saw. Presently he noticed
another. Then he began watching for
them and counting. Soon he began to
dream about them Then he asked his
friends what they were for. Nobody knew.
At last he could stand it no longer He
walked into a restaurant at 47th street and
Lake avenue.
Il know I'm ignorant, and l suppose it's
none of my business-but what are those
paper flaps on the screen door for?' he
asked of a pretty waiter girl.
Flies said the girl with an express
sion of wonder on her face.
.HoW-why-what?' gasped the inquisi-
tive citizen.
Why" said the girl YEARLY they flap
in the draught and scare the flies away
from the door, so that when any one opens
1t they amt there to fly in. See?"

Dog That Steals News.
ON the Philadelphia Times.


Philadelphia policemen are hunting for
thief that steals news, and according to
present indications it will take the whole
available force to catch him. The descrip-
ton of the culprit entered on the police
blotter reads, Short, has four legs, two
dropping ears and a long tail" There is
no classification as to color. The offender
belongs to that division of the canine spe-
cies known as mongrel.
Residents of the southeastern portion of
Philadelphia have been annoyed by having
their morning newspapers stolen from their
doorsteps. Complaints became SO frequent
that special detective was detailed to
watch for and catch the thief. Wide-awake
and alert as this detective was, it was a
long time before he learned how the news
papers were really stolen.
The detective was watching one morning
at the parochial residence of the Church
of the Sacred Heart, Sd and Reed streets
from the doorstep of which place. the morn
ing paper had regularly disappeared, when
he saw dog dash for the paper and RIM
swiftly away with it. So astonished was
he that he forgot to give chase, and the
animal succeeded in getting away with
his booty.
To the thefts of the dog the police now
ascribe all the complaints of newspapers
missing from doorsteps. Before the dog
dashes for his game he makes a careful
detour of the district and IL biuecoat
happens to be near he will lower his tail
wistful look until the coast is clear hut
after he bags his newspaper he is so alert
that no policeman has been able to catch
him
police can only guess. They do not think
the papers he steals are reseld by any,
body, but so many have been missed that
they intend to investigate it thoroughly.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Weekly Summary Furnished by the
Agricultural Department.

Following is the weather bureaus weekly
summary of crop conditions:
Drought has been relieved in the south
Atlantic and east gulf states, and beneficial
rains have fallen in Ohio and Indiana, but
rain is now needed in portions of New York
and Pennsylvania, the central portions of
Illinois and Missouri, and in Louisiana, Ar
kansas, the Dakotas, western Nebraska
and central Colorado. Local storms, ac-
companied by excessively heavy rains, have
proved damaging in Alabama, western
Florida and southern New Jersey Not
withstanding these conditions, the week
may be said to have been, upon the whole,
generally favorable, the most unpromisng
reports being received from the Dakotas,
where high temperatures and lack of mois-
ture are being seriously felt.
ME corn would be benefited by rains
in central Illinois and portions of Missouri
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, the
crop has made satisfactory progress in the
principal corn states, a marked improve
ment being reported from the states of the
Ohio valley. Iowa also reports decided
Improvement. and the outlook in Kansas
is considered the best for a number of
years. Early corn is now matured as far
north as Missouri and southern Illinois.
As in the previous week, hot winds with
temperatures exceeding 100 degrees have
prevailed in South Dakota, causing injury
to spring wheat by premature ripening and
snrnkage of grain; and while the heat in
North Dakota has not been so excessive
the crop has been more or less damaged.
Spring wheat has also sustained some in
jury from hot winds in Oregon and por-
lions of eastern Washington Over the
eastern portion of the spring wheat re-
g1on the crop is more promising Harvest
ing Is well advanced in southern Minnesota
where the late sown grain is filling nicely
and has begun in southern North Dakota.
Dat harvest is nearing completion in the
more northerly sections under very favor
able weather conditions, except in southern
Minnesota, where considerable loss will re-
suit from lodging. Fair to good yields are
generally reported -
Complaints of shedding continue from the
central and eastern portions of the cotton
belt, and while rains have improved the
condition of the crop in the Carolinas the
excessively heavy rains in North Carolina
have proved injurious. Good growth is
however, generally reported, especially in
the central and eastern sections and as a
rule the crop is fruiting well. Picking is
well advanced in portions of southern Tex
as, in which state the general condition of
the crop is promising.

in Tennessee by heavy rains; elsewhere the

says:
Any doubt that Yaauis are on the war
pain IN earnest was dispelled today when
news reached here that several Americans
and Mexicans had been killed in pueblos,
or towns, in the Yaqui river valley, east
and southeast of this station
The courier who came in with the news
of the slaughter declares that he saw a
desperate fight at a point forty miles
southeast of Ortiz, and that he has posi-
i've evidence that ]. f. Remley, a mer-
chant of Hermosilo, and E. Miller, a pho
tographer in his employ were among the
killed. Remley was one of the best-known
Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants of the towns in and near
the Yaqui valley are in a state of terror
Gen. Torres, commander of the first mil
itary zone, which includes Sonora, Sinaloa
and Lower California, who was in the field
with the 18th Regiment, is reported among
the slain.
No information is obtainable as yet of
the number of fighting Indians under arms,
but If the outbreak is of the proportions
of the war ended in 1897 the number may
be placed at between three and four
thousand. This outbreak is a surprise to
the state and army officials
1t is impossible to secure accurate fig
ures as to the total number killed to date,
but the estimate at fifty on each side is
not considered excessive.

Average American Feels
From the New York Mail and Express
The bankers and brokers and merchants
who crowd the morning Sandy Hook boats
had quite an object lesson in patriotism as
they Were steaming through the Narrows
the other day. The steamers decks and
cabins were thronged as usual, and a
dozen men found themselves grouped to-
gether around one of the settees in the aft
cabin. Finally one of them began talking
about the Philippines and imperialism gen.
orally. His tone grew somewhat louder as
his audience Increased among those near
him.
He was of that type of man who never
likes anything. He didn't like our killing
or the Ffipinos fighting valiantly for their
liberty. He didn't like our failure thus far
to kill off enough of them to stop the insur
rectlon He didn't like sending more SOL
dters over there to insure this, and he
didn't like having those who are now there
exposed to the rains and ravages of the
tropics. He went on telling of all the
things about the war and our colonial pos
sessions until at last gentleman sitting
close by, endeavoring to read his morning
paper. remarked that he didn't like to hear
such talk.
You have no right to nfiict your views

he. You're talking treason and l don't
