ROBBERS MAKE BIG HAUL.
Get Away with an Express Safe Con.
tanning $40 zoo.

Sioux City, Iowa, Feb. 12.-Prompt
ans active work by the authorities az
Manila, Iowa, yesterday resulted In
the arrest oil three men who are sus-
pected Of having been implicated In
the theft OF a United States expre
safe. said to have contained $4,000.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
train, on which the safe was taken
from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
SOS p. m. Saturday night. The Oma-
ha train was late and James Sturte-
want Of Sioux City. the express mes
senger, did not hurry unloading the
goods and packages from his car. This
express safe. with other articles, was
unloaded and placed on a truck on the
depot platform, and then Sturteyant
and the baggageman vent TO the other
end Of the platform TO get another
truck load. When S~turtevant returned
he noticed that the articles on the truck
were disarranged and a glance showed
that the iron box was gone. There waa
great excitement and no time was LOST
in spreading the alarm. City Marshal
Terrell hastily assembled a POSSE and
vigorous work began. Snow lay thick
upon IN ground and IL did not taks
long 10 discover the tracks of two per-
sons who evidently had been carrying
some heavy object directly from the
truck, as IL stood upon the depot plat
form. They carried the safe a distance
of about two blocks and then loaded il
into a wagon. which had been left there
in waiting. The wagon was driven
about a mile and a half n the coun-
try and there the safe was forced open
and the contents were distracted. The
men then went their way on a new
track. 1t was not difficult to trace
them, however, and yesterday morning
three arrests were made. Their namet
are John Jackson, John Stovalt and
Charles Hayes. All are men who live
at Manila and are well known. Theic
regulations heretofore have not beer
bad. They stoutly protest their inno-
cence. but the authorities believe this
evidence against at least two Of them
viii prove conclusive.
The safe which was stolen contained
in the ~neighborhood of 500 $1,000 in
cash and the remainder in drafts
checks ard valuables. None OF thi
valuables or money has bean recovered

1t Is singular, but true, that the in
dustrial school system of the United
States owes its origin, in large part,
to Hawaii. General Armstrong, the
founder of Hampton Institute, was
the son OF that Hawaiian educator
who organized the schools of the Ha-
waiian Islands. Hampton this winter
contains eight grandchildren of former
Indian students. Honolulu, in the
course Of but a single generation,
shows a still more notable instance OF
rapid aboriginal development. A former
queen Of Hawaii, awakened to a sense
OF a finer civilization, came with
great pomp and retinue to express her
wish for reform. Unwrapping from
her body the seventy-fiye yards OF
broadcloth which had composed her
royal robe, she burned II in the public
square. Her niece, Lady Bishop, later
~bequeathed her entire property of over
a million dollars to the cause OF edu-
cation in Hawaii. Today the com
pulsory school system OF those islands
is so admirable that Australia lately
sen there for a teacher to expound IN
the southern continent the Hawaiian
American system OF education.

The more one thinks about wireless
telegraphy the more amazing 1t seems.
BY Mafcoui's method, messages are
sent over. or through, mountain
ranges: and the curying segment Of
the eartt; covered by the ocean, does
not prevent communication between
ships sixty miles apart. Still more
marvellous is it that simultaneous mes
