4 MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.
Three Bars of Gold, Valued at S22,.
$50, Taken From the Strong
Room of an Ocean Liner.
NO ClEW TO EITHER GOLD OR THIEVES.
The North German Lloyd Company
Offers "a Reward of Ten Thousand
Marks for the Recovery of the
Gold or For the Discovery of the
Thieves.

New York, April 1.-THE robbery
at sea of the specie room of the North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse seems a mysterious crime.
Apparently there has been complete
failure to locate either the missing
gold bullion or the men who took il.
although the search of passengers
and ship at Bremen ma furnish ma
terial for the Investigations. Three
bars of gold aggregating in value
s22.7j0 shipped by the National City
Bank of New York were stolen from
cask No. 4, of the specie room some
where between this port and Cher
bourg.
Imperfect Advices.
The advices to Oelrichs & Co.,agents
for the company. came in German, and
cn the point as to whether the specie
room was broken open or entered by
picking the lock admits of transla-
ticn either way. The specie room of
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is
ironbound and almost as strong as q
vault. Its doors were secured by a
patent lcck, for which there were
but two keys. One of the keys was
kept by the chief officer, and the
other by the purser.
The bars of gold were packed in
oak casks, bound with iron hoops
Thousands of dollars in gold were
within the reach OF the man who
forced his way into the strong room,
but only the sum named was taken.
AT the Office of the North German
was given:
Three Bars of Gold.
"Three lars of gold valued at S22,-
$50 were taken from the specie room
of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
somewhere between here and Cher
bourg. The bars were taken from
cask No. 4, but we have no idea as
to how the robbery WIS accomplished
Our advlces are but bsief. and do not
show how the room MAS entered. The
gold was shipped by he National
City Bank of New York. We under
stand il was insured. but the question
of responsibility will be passed upon
later. We have not recovered the
gold and this Office has no knowledge
OF the thieves. The specie room is
strong, safe one. secured by patent
lock to which there were but two
the purser the other. We will make
every possible effort to recover the
money and catch the thieves"

True OF North Dakota.

The demand for Dakota land in
creases as the season grows older and
farmers of other states find time to
look around. Purchases will con-
tinue oil winter with small abatement
and in the spring the rush of home
seekers will greatly exceed that of
the present year. The shrewd farm
ers of Iowa realize that these states
have every advantage of their own,
besides many that Iowa never poss-
essed, and that in few years the
price of land will be practically the
same in both. Illinois farmers have
found out that an acre of South Da-
kota land will produce more net dol,
lars than an acre of Illinois land, and
the same is true of good observers in
all of the older states. These facts
insure growing demand for land in
South Dakota, where prices will
steadily increase until commercial
and productive values reach a level
The wise man will make his invest,
ment before that time comes.-Aber'

Good Cattle in Demand.

The Dickinson Press says: The
demand for we'll. bred two and three
year cattle at Dickinson continues as
great as month or six weeks ago.
This may seem unusual, but The alb
sence of the destructive prairie fires
this fall has much 10 do with stimu-
lating the demand for stock cattle.
The range is in fine condition, the
cattlemen have been receiving good
prices for their beef cattle and the
general feeling seems to be that an
other year will also see good b:ef
prices and that stock cattle are also
likely to be even higher the coming
year than at present. Certainly if
the corn states have good crops in
1902 cattlemen cannot expect to see
feeders selling at the present prices

A Sensible View.

Some of our esteemed contempor-
aries are commenting upon recent
editorial which appeared in these
columns, endorsing Hon. B. F. Spald-
ing for congress. While we in no de-
gree recede from the position taken
at that time, we do not wish to go on
record as Being opposed to the can
didacy OF our present honored con-
gressman, T. F. Marshall. We stand
for Marshall, first, last, and all tie
time-but should be more than
pleased to see Mr.. Spalding returned
as North Dakota's second represen-
tative.-Edgeley Mail.

FT. TOTEM RESERVATION.
Hay Soon be Thrown Open to Settlers. About
$4,000 Acres of Land.

Major Mclaughlin, inspector Of
the interior department, has arrived
and will proceed to Fort Totten at
once to negotiate with the Indians
for the cession of their unallotted
lands. Heretofore these negotiations
have been made by commissioners
appointed by special act of con-
gress, but last winter Senator Hans
brough secured the adoption of a pro-
vision authorizing the secretary of
the interior to do the work through
aa Indian inspector.
1t is believed the Indians will agree
to cede their surplus land at rea-
sonable price, as congress would not
b. likely to ratify the agreement if
the valuation is too high. There are
some $4,000 aces Of surplus lands on
their reservation.
Senator Hans5rough says there is
no longer any question in government
tai circles that the best policy is tc
put white settlers among or near the
Indians, that the latter may learn
modern methods OF farming.
If congress ratifies the agreement
the lands will doubtless be open next
spring and there will be great rush
The CON mutor will probably be re
quired to pay the government the
price the latter agrees to pay tho In
dians, but even then tue government
will be the loser, as there is much
land which will not be filed upon
Herein lies danger that congress
may reject the proposition, and in
tending settlers from other states
should write their respective con-
gressmen en- the subject, as it is a
matter which goes first before the
house of representatives.
Major Mclaughlin was on his way
to California to negotiate with a
tribe OF Indians in that state. The
work on the coast would keep him on
the coast indefinitely and Senate,
Hansbrough learning of this weeks
ago, wired Secretary Hitchcock and
secured a change in the Majors in
structions so as to have him come te
Totten before going to California

Large Policy.

The Northern Pacific yesterday
placed upon it's property insurance to
the amount of $l3 100000, all covered
in one policy, tho largest eyer written
in the United States. In addition to
this, the company insures, out of its
own funds, q large amount of property
of another class, whic b brings its to-
tai to about S20ooo,000. The pre-
MUM paid is comparatively low, as
railroad property is classed as very
low risk.

FIRES AT FARGO.
Packing Plant and Great Northern Shed.
Burn at Same Time.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 5.-The Fargo
Packing company's plant and the
Great Northern freight sheds were
destroyed by fire early this morning,
entailing a loss Of $4,000, fully in

The department was first called to
the packing company's plant, which
had caught fire in the highest part Of
the building over the ice house. Tie
flames had gained such headway that
only tho books were saved. There
was large amount of fresh and
packed meat on hand, which, with
the buildings, made a loss of at least
$40, 900; $3S, 900 insurance was car.

During the progress OF this blaze a

the large frame building, which

the depot and six Great Northern
box cars in addition to several thous
and dollars worth of freight. The

Labor Conditions in rnrto Rico.

DR.. Azel Anles has compiled valua,
BILE paper on this subject that is pub.
lished in the May bulletin of the De.
partmeut OF Labor in Washington. His
material has been gathered from per-
sonal observation and while he writes
somewhat enthusiastically of Porto
Rican possibilities in the way of ind u.s.
trial development the information he
has collected shows that pitiful con-
dition Of affairs exists among the mass
Of the people.
The population Of Porto Rico is esti.
mated at $50, 600. Eliminating all under
10 years of age and those over 45, about
GOO, 900 are left, from which the work
ing force of the island must be drawn.
One-half of this number are wage
workers, but only amall proportion
are employed in trades or manufacture
ing, about 80 per cent being engaged in
rural and agricultural occupations.
Very few are owners of the land, and
between the landed proprietors and the
laborers there is little community Of
interest, the line separating them being
broad aud strongly drawn.
A distinctive and unfortunate feature
obtains in the great excess of common
laborers. This has necessarily lowereG
the wage rate and rendered labor ridiou
lousy cheap, 80 cheap In fact that man,
planters, even those whose plantatio
are located in the iemote- parts of tn,
island, find IL less expensive to hay,
their products carried to market on tn,
heads Of poems than 20 use carts, rail
ways or water. Naturally, such stat,
Of affairs Is conducive to the develop
ment of beggary, slothfulness and
general Indifference to work. As DR.
