The Edgerton Lecture COurse-19OO-Ol.

The Lecture Course committee desires
to make this farther announcement of
the course. The first number, The
Stephenson String Quartette assisted by
Wallace Bruce Amsbary, reader, will be
given on Monday evening, Nov. 10.
The Wesleyan Male Quartette, which
will appear Dec. 10, has been most en-
Enthusiastically received at Chatauqua as
semblies for the past four years. The
bass singer, Mr.. Trusedale, has re-
markedly deep musical voice, and the
tenor and whistler captures his audi
ences. Their coming here will be an
event of the season.
Hervey Smith McCawan whose lecture
will be given Jan. 81, is among the
younger men who are winning their way
into popular favor. His brilliant pow
ers, his dramatic ability, his wit and hu-
NOR and the magnetism of his personal
ity combine in making him a marked
man.
On February 10 Dewitt Miller, who
has long been upon the lecture platform
and who is now in the height of his
power, will lecture on THE Uses of Ug-
liness." Mr.. Miller is so we'll known
throughout the country that the simple
announcement that he is to lecture here
should assure him full house.
On April IL the Durno-Emmett COM
bination company will give one of their
unique entertainments. Durno the
magician is justly entitled to rank along
with Herman, Keeler and others who
have won fame by the mysterious art.
Mr.. Emmett is soloist, violinist and
ventriloquist and recites dialect sketches
and humorous stories in an irresistible
manner. He is whole entertainment
in himself. With them Kimbrough, the
young musical genius, will appear. He
is born pianist and has in many cities
held 5000 people spellbound.
Taken as whole this course is very
strong one. For some of these enter
tainments an admission at the-door of so
cents will be charged while the entire
course is but S1.OO. 1t is matter,of
economy to purchase season tickets.
Tickets now may be had of Miss Edith
Maltpress.

CAPTURED POSTOFFICE THIEVES.
Evansville Officers Get the Men and Their
Booty

Evansville Officers Get the Men and Their
Booty.
Evansville officers are congratulating
themselves over the capture of trio of
old offenders, taken into custody Sun
day morning last. The safe in the post
office at Footville was blown open dur
ing the night and the explosion sawoke
the town. The telephone was brought
into use, aud surrounding towns notified
to look out for the thieves. Marshal
Broughton and deputies Gilman and
Mihils lay in wait about the depot until
they dropped onto the gentlemen they
were looking for. They were Immediate
ly handcuffed and marched to the depot
Upon searching them they found pint
bottle nearly full of powder, ten or
twelve drills of various sizes, seven
skeleton keys, small funnel wrapped in
paper which was evidently used by them
to run powder into the holes after they
were drilled into The safe, one punch, a
piece of wire used to poke the powder
through the funnel, two small pieces of
candle, two 38 caliber revolvers loaded
a sack full of ammunition, bag con-
tanning about dollar in dimes, nickels
and pennies.
Further search uncovered several dol
lars worth OF postage stamps. When
taken into the light it was noticed that
one of the trio had an unusual large
swelling on the side of his face. Upon
inquiring what was the matter, he was
informed that there was nothing the
matter but that the bunch he saw was
tobacco. Not being so easily duped he
made him open his mouth. The bunch
proved to be S53 in bills. Upon tele-
phoning to Footville it was learned that
the robbers had received between three
and four dollars in stamps, one dollar in
small change and a registered letter
containing S53.
They were taken to GAINESVILLE for safe
keeping where one of the trio was iden-
titled as Thomas Evans, alias Thomas
Kelly, whose right name is James Hess,
better known as wisconsin Tommy"
native Of GAINESVILLE. He was sent to the
reform school at Waukesha in 1876 and
was released in 1882. He afterwards
served term of four years in the peni-
tentiary at Saltwater, MINI. In 1892 he
was sent to the states prison at Waupun
and was again sent there in 1895. In
March 1898 he served six months in the
county jail at GAINESVILLE for petty lar
ceny. He is about forty years old, five
feet, six and one-half inches in height
and weighs about lao pounds. He has
dark chestnut hair, beard, if any, light
blonde, blue eyes. He is considered one
OF the most dangerous postoffice workers
in the country, being exceedingly handy
with the gun and not afraid to use it.
The postoffice officials have tried hard
to fasten some job on him but up to the
present time have been unable to do so,
but it looks now as if they had him fast.
The other two were strangers and con-
sequently nothing is known of their
past career.

FEARS OF INDIAN RISING.
SETTLERS IN CANADA ALARMED AT AC-
TIONs OF THE TRIBE.

Rat Portage Ont. June 3o.-A meeting of prom-
nent citizens held last evening concerning the
threatened Indian uprising Rainy River, and the
testimony OF several OF the refugees was taken.
Their fears to have been aroused by an
unusual number OF Indians being seen going down
the river and from reported threats that the
homes of the white people would be burned when
they returned. 1t Is also reported that a number
OF American Indians have come over and are now
with the Canadian Reds" Big Grassy River,
Just off the Big Traverse.
After hearing the stories Of several settlers 1t was
decided to send Leveque. Indian agent, and X
j. Either to the to see If anything unusual
was about to occur whether the red men were
only to meet to hold n pow-wow. Several letters
received to-day from settlers along the river
requesting that firearms and ammunition be sent
up at once. At Beaver Mills the men have been
placing pckets out to do patrol duty for several
nights and Fort Francis, 1t is said. precautions
are being taken against threatened invasion
from a large body OF Indians on Rainy Lake.
The general opinion here is that the whole
trouble has arisen through prophecy by one or
the medicine men that great storm would
devastate this whole section, and that all the
white people would be wiped out. The town Is
making provision for the women and children now

TURNS TO THE ATTACK.


TURNS TO THE ATTACK.
A large ST. Bernard dog owned by the parents
Of Harry Abramson, thirteen years old, of NO.
6S West One hundred -and-ninth-st. had to be
struck on the head with small rocking chair
yesterday before it would release its hold on the
boys throat.
About two weeks ago the dog bit Harrys
brother. Morris. nine years Old on the arm. in
ficting slight wound Since then the brute has
been i'll tempered. Yesterday Harry went into
the dining and the dog swapping at
his younger brother He ordered the dog to lie
down. The dog only growled, and Harry kicked
him in the side This instead of quieting the
animal caused him to growl more, and he
jumped at the boys throat, catching the flesh
between his teeth
Harry cried for help and his mother entered
the room. She tried to get the animal to let
go. but it maintained it's hold Then picking up a
Child's rocker she struck the brute on the head,
Telling him 70 the floor
The dog quickly revived and made another
spring at the boy, catching him by the left arm.
The mother struck another blow on the dogs
head, which only tended to anger him the more,
and third spring was made. This time the dog
caught the boy in the lef- side making an ugly
cash with his teeth. Mrs. Abramson again
felled the dog with a blow.
In the mean time Norris the younger child
had run into the street and summoned Police
man Milligan, of the East One-hundred-and-
fourth-st station. Milligan entered the house
and found Mrs. Abramson standing over the
dog with chair uplifted ready to strike again
if need be. The policeman pulled his revolver
and wanted to shoot the animal, but the family
forbade him.
An ambulance summoned from Harlem
Hospital, and DIR. BIackmar dressed the boys
wounds. He remained at home The dog
