Two More Captured.

Niles. Mich, Jan. 16.-The hunt for
the thieves who robbed a clothing
store at Cassopolis last Saturday night
and who were wounded here Sunday
morning in a skirmish with the police,
has ended. The police learned Tues
day that two of the three burglars who
were still at large had succeeded In
getting out of town on a west-bound
freight train. Chicago officials were at
once communicated with and late yes
terday afternoon word was received
here that the two men were under ar
rest.
Upon their arrival at Chicago the
men appeared at the Samaritan hos
pital. as one of them had severe
wound in the right arm. The officials
became suspicious that the men were
not as they represented themselves
and telephoned 10 the police. The
prisoners names are John and Sam
White. aged 10 and % years. They
told conflicting tales TO the police as
to their identity and business. The
description received here of the men
dismisses all doubt as TO their identity.
An officer has gone to Chicago to bring
the men back. All but one of the five
robbers are under arrest, and the hfth
is believed to be in hiding in South
Bend. Ind, where he is said to have
relatives.

Delegate Vessels, who addressed q
large pro-Boer mass meeting here
Monday night, talked about the Boer
invasion of Cape Colony. ITO under
stand the situation" he said, lit is nee
essary TO go back before the war.
went to American Consul Stowe al
Cape Town to make arrangements tc
have President Mckinley move for j
court OF arbitration, but Sir Alfred
Laurier told me 1T is too late to .a!k
of arbitration and soon after made
the significant statement that the
South African element must be
crushed 1t is evident that the British
aimed not only to annex our republics
but to go farther. They have driven us
out of our country, and we have as
much right in Cape Colony as any
where. Our supporters there include
many English.
Dewet has been in touch with this
movement since September. We will
win, If not this year, next year. We
will never submit TO the British fag
The British market is already affected
and we hope Wall street will be also
until commerce joins with the com
mon people in demanding the end OF
the war"

a Fatal Joke.

st. Joseph, Mich, Jan. 16.-Albert
Faust, aged II, was accidentally shot
and killed late Tuesday night by his
brother August, aged 13. The boys had
been in the habit of playing with fire
arms as an amusement, often shooting
blank cartridges. On this occasion
the elder brother had been away and,
on arriving home, called Albert to an
adjoining room to SHOW him some
thing" The lad responded, and as he
was passing the doorway August fired
a double-barrel shotgun, supposing the
weapon contained blank, but to his
horror 1t contained heavy charge Of
shot. which entered the younger boys
mouth, tearing off mis- head. Death was
instantaneous. The mother and son
are crazed with grief over the affair.
The tragedy occurred on a farm a few
miles from this city. The coroner's
Jury rendered a verdict of accidental
shooting. Sheriff Collins investigated
the case, but no arrest was made, as
the elder boy claimed he was playing
and only wanted to scare his brother.

Bank Wrecked.

South Lyon, Mich, Jan. 16.-At 8
o'clock Tuesday morning two heavy
explosions awoke the people of this viii
lage. G.. ID. Hamilton, who conducts
a jewelry store, thought burglars
might be at work on his stock. He
dressed himself quickly and armed
himself, making a sortie. When near
Carpenter e. Jacobus bank he was
commanded to halt, but edged over
across the road. A couple of bullets
were fired at him, and he returned the
fire, no one being injured. He ran for
help, but the burglars had flown.
The safe in the bank had been al
most completely wrecked, coin being
scattered all over the floor. The
thieves, six in number, obtained $500
in cash, but left the silver on the floor
and $3.50 more in the safe. They stole
a handcar and headed for Pontiac.

IN OLDEN TIMES.
Sinny Things Were Dinerent-Nowa-
Days the Public Profits by
Experience.

When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates barber shop was en-
ployed to let the public know where
cupping or blood-letting was profes-
sionally performed, close shaves were
of daily occurrence, not the easy re-
moval. of the hirsute or hairy adorn-
ment of the head and face, but close
shaves from entering eternity. More
than one unfortunate entered the bar
ber surgeons doorway to leave it a
corpse or so weak that weeks were re-
quired to get the victim of malpractice
on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from a heartache to a
corn, and a pain in the loins was in
variably treated with two incisions, one
On each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that haG Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shaw
ing parlor of Niles, Mich, lived in the
time of George III. of England, in
place of taking the course he did a
short time ago with his back, blood-let-
ting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble:
Mr.. Wilson says: "My occupation
has, very likely, much to do with the
cause of my backache from which i
have suffered considerably, for a num-
ber of years. Standing on ones feet
some days IS hours is hard on the best
of backs, but when you have pain across
the loins, with lameness and soreness,
everytime you move the muscles of
the arm, long, long, before your daily
task is over you often wish you could
go to sleep. 1 tried everything to bet
ter my condition, but was unsuccessful
until L used three boxes of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. The relief they brought to
n man who has worked hard all his
life and is now past the three score and
ten is much easier to appreciate than
to describe in words. Doan's Kidney
Pills perform what they promise"

Conditions Much Improved.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Henry G. Bar
ter, of Detroit, national secretary of
the Longshoremen's union, testified
before the industria. commission Mon.
day upon labor on the docks and har.
bors of the great lakes. He said that
the agreements between the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's union and the
dock managers OF the various ports
along the lakes had produced a
marked improvement in the condition
of the workmen and the relations ex-
listing between employer and employe.
This agreement, he said, had elimi-
mated the intemperance and brutality
which were largely in evidence a few
years ago and established mutual con
fidence between employer and en-
ploye.

Mr. Stroup was on his way home about

portion. a man confronted him and de.
manded his money. The demand was
accompanied by a blow which rem.
dered Mr.. Stroup unconscious. The
thief rifed his pockets and secured SO
and then left him. In the middle of
the night Mr.. Stroup recovered con
sciousness, and was so nearly frozen
to death that It was with great diff
Guilty that he was able TO reach house

KIDNAPPING Feared.

New Orleans, Jan. 16-The police
have been asked to find Rita and
Mamie Holthouse, aged 16 and Is, and
their infant sister. The two girls left
home with the child on Sunday TO visit
relatives. They never reached the res
idence of the relatives and have not
since been seen or heard of. The kid
naping theory has been advanced to
account for their disappearance.
