Wisconsin Bank Robbed.

New Richmond. Wis, Sept. 1S.-The
Bank of Hammond, at Hammond,
Wis.,. was blown open and the contents
of the strong box taken by unknown
robbers. Every cent of cash and some
valuable papers were taken and there
is no clew to the robbers. The town
is full of strangers, over $50 men be-
ing at work on the railroad. The rob-
bers entered the building through the
rear and dug a hole through the wall
of the vault, then blew the safe open
Several thousand dollars in currency
and securities were taken, the cash
alone amounting to $1,000.
New Richmond, Wis, Sept. Pit
is now given out that the robbers who
went through the Hammond bank Sc
cured $4,000 in cash. The bank car
ried $4,000 in burglar insurance.
Burglars went through NJ. Tanney's
flour and feed store in this city and
stole a wagonload of his best flour.

Best Butter In the World.

The butter of Denmark is considered
superior to that Of all other countries.
It brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over the
world in shops where luXuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies, in India,
Egypt and in tropical countries gener-
ally it is used by epicures; who pay 81
n pound for it in tins of one, two and
three pounds weight. No other cOun-
try has been able to produce butter
that will stand changes of climate so
we'll.
Refrigerator ships are now found on
nearly all the big steamship routes,
and they can carry perishables as long
and as far as necessary, but butter
shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer
usually melts and remains in a liquid
state as long as it is exposed to the
tropic heat. When it passes into the
temperate zone again, it hardens, and
the change usually spoils it for the
taste, entirely destroying the flavor and
leaving it like ordinary grease or OIL
The Danes, however, produce a butter
which will endure this ordeal without
affecting its flavor or sweetness, and
they are the only people of whom this
may be said.-Chicago Herald.

CHAMBER REAPPEARS SANE
Proceedings in Virginia Court Clear Mys
terry of His Disappearance.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 23.-John Arm
strang Chanler, divorced husband OF
Amelie Rives. now Princess TrOubit~
skoi, turned up in Charlottesville, Va.
as one coming from the grave. Ever
since his mysterious escape from
Bloomington asylum at White Plains,
n Y, the country has been searched
by detectives and newspaper men.
Meantime, he was shrewdly laying his
plans to have himself declared by a
Virginia court a perfectly sane man,
and with this end in view has sur
rounded himself with the ablest le-
sal counsel in this state and many
specialists from various parts of the
country, who pronounce him sane.
Chanler arrived in Charlottesville
from Lynchburg, where he has been
living under the name of John Chill
tor for two months. With counsel he
went to Louisa court house, where on
his application, based on the testimony
of expert alieniStS, a decree was issued
authorizing him to take charge of all
his property in this state. Among
CHAMBERS attorneys are Augustus
Van Wyck Of New York and Senator
Daniel

How Sponges Are Sold.

When offered for sale in the local
market in the Bahamas, sponges are
either piled up loose or made into
strands or beads Of from two to tel
sponges each. The best sponges are
usually made into strings of from
eight to ten sponges each. Others are
generally sold in lots not strung. The
buyer, however, is not guided in his
purchase Icy the number of sponges on
a string, but by what a certain lot will
weigh, and the weight is never given,
but the buyer must estimate it; hence
practical experience is needed in the
purchasing of sponges.
