Lnck Better Than Brains.

Ex-Governor Upham, OF Wisconsin,
told good story on himself the 9th
er day:
81 was once interested in two lum-
Der deals" he said. IL had offered a
valuable piece OF property at $780,
600, and at the same time | was try
ing to buy tract OF pine trees.
While the deals were pendingssl ran
across gypsy fortune teller in the
woods, and | asked her to tell my
fortune.
"'You will be very lucky in your
deals, she said.
+" That's good, ! remarked.
"'ies, continued the fortune tell.
er, your luck will beat your brains
Governor Upham says that the
woman spoke the truth. A few days
later the syndicate which held the
option Of 100000 upon the property
he had offered at that price decided
not to accept it, and it was not long
before he was able to sell the land for
almost double the amount.-Wash-

Some of the circumstances in the

OUTLAW BETRAYED
BY LETTER TO GIRL
Geo. MusgrOve, Leader Of
Northwestern 0esperadOes
Hoped to Marry Soon.
CAUGHT AFTER A LONG CHASE.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 5.-George
Musgrove, one OF the most noted
outlaws in the southwest and leader
OF the Musgrove gang. was arrested
by postotfice Inspector Doran, Of
Denver, who has been camping on
his trail for weeks.
Musgrove is one of the eight men
who robbed the postotfice and store
at Fort Sumner, n. NJ, four weeks
ago and killed 12-year-old boy,
who was shot dead in attempting to
escape.
The band lined up fifteen custom
eps in the store end relieved them OF
their valuables and money in true
dalton style.
f The gang began its long career of
crime and robbery by the sensational
hold.up OF ten citizens and the rob-
bing of the postoffice at Revueto,
where they secured a big haul, fol-
lowed by holding up saloon at Tue
umcari, N. NJ.
Musgrove fell into the meshes OF
the law through letter to a dash
ing young woman from Oklahoma,
which was intercepted, together with
information furnished by Indians on
the Mescolro reservation.
He had arranged to marry his
sweetheart in April and il his plans
had not been interrupted he would
have taken his intended bride to the
mountain fastness to become the
princess OF the outlaw camp.
Musgrove and his gang have been
in hiding for several months, since
Governor Otero offered rewards for
! their capture. The hanging OF Tom
N Ketchum, one of the gang ut Clay
ton last year, has had quoting ef
feet on them.
The outlaws disappeared for sew
eral months until recently, when they
crossed through southeastern New
Mexico, robbing and killing, and
headed for the Captain mountains.
Their temperance created great
uneasiness and CONSERVATION in the
sparsely settled districts.
A special tonight announces thu
capture OF Wit. NELL, j. Cook anC
Joe Roberts on Blue river, forty
miles above Clifton, by deputy sher
if John Parks and deputies. These
men are members of the Musgrovt

After witnessing some OF the GUS
toms of the German settlers, the
natives" living in Southwestern
Dade county are willing to agree with
Mr.. Dooley in the opinion that ga
German never leaves Germany"
Last Tuesday the people of Lock
wood were somewhat surprised at
the sight al a man, gaily decorated
with ribbons and banners, passing
through town on horseback. 1t was
afterward discovered that the man
was a messenger inviting guests to q
German wedding and that he was
simply performing a ceremony first
observed in Sa1ony ages and ages
ago. According to the custom, when
a wedding is to be announced a
brother of the bride mounts a pranc-
ing charger and rifles forth to invite
the guests. At each place where the
guests are invited the girls pin rib
bons on his cloak, so that wherever
else he may go his coming may be
hailed with delight.-Star.

Boys and Their Bringing Up.

Far more important in the bring
ing up of a boy is TO surround him
ithgOod company than to give him
fine clothing or even a coed school.
A boys playmates and assoeiatesdo
more to educate him than his teach
ers. Keep the boys confidence, and
watch that he does not drift out
ward from the safe mooring OF the
home evenings. When a lad is fur
tive, when he has reserves, when he
slips away from the house after sup
per, and spends his time in the street
or anywhere aloof from mother and
sisters, that lad is in danger. Up
with the red lights and the green
lights, and-look out for peril ahead.
The boy is off the right track, There
is need for someone to take hold of
him aud put him back on the right
path of safety.
Work is less u misfortune than II
safeguard to the boy at home Here
the country boy has II great advan-
tage over the boy in town, the latter
having few chores to perform, and
very little responsibility about the
comfort OF the household. Another
who is wise devises errands for her
boys, and sees that all of their time
OF school is not spent in play. Once
a boy derives the idea that his de-
sires must be gratitied at any cost,
that he is OF more Importance than
anyone else in the home, and that
his manner may be rude with impu-
nifty, he has gone far Oh the road to
selfish and inconsiderate manhood.
Brothers should be trained to wait
on their sisters Sons should be at
tentive to their mothers. Even rigid
discipline in the smaller matters OF
courtesy, insistence on such affairs AZ
rising when lady enters room,
holding open door for her when she
leaves it, and carrying her bundles
and parcels, is in the end, gain to a
boy, Not long ago | met man who
has been successful in business, man
whose start was a plain New England
home, and who had no wealth at his
back. Inquiring OF an associate as
to the probable reason of the rapid
rise, the answer was, Excellent ma
tural ability; remarkably good man,
ners." A boys manner is often the
means of starting him on a career
which influence or intrOductiohs could
not compass. "Who is thatyouth?'
asked a banker indicating young
man who was his mothers escort al
an evening company. so ana so.
, SIS that lady his mother" "Yes.
"Whatis the boy doing?" From tn,
conversation dated the young mans
excellent start in a business life. A
} boy is never well brought up, if he il
, left without learning difference to au
thority. Our American young peo
pie are apt to be lacking in reference

to tutors and goyerness, who does
not honor his parents, will only by q

Sioux Falls, 5. D., March "A dis
pute as to the ownership OF a cat has
reached the state circuit court in this
city, and it promises to become az
noted rs the celebrated Iowa calf
case.
Ole Finstad and wife claim to have
loaned the cat to Mrs. Lewis, a
neighbor, for the purpose Of Kidding
her house OF rats. Mrs. Lewis after
ward declined to -retufH the animal,
and the claimants asserted that she
had appropriated it to her own use,
and was holding it by force of arms,
contrary to the statute. Finstad
tried to regain possession of the eat
by force, and Mrs. Lewis had him ar.
rested for assault and battery. A
justice imposed n fine upon Finstad,
but the defendant refused to pay it,
and appealed the case to the circuit
court. Thus far $50 in costs have
been charged up to the county in set
ting the ownership of the cat, and
this promises to mount up into the
thousands before the case is termin-
ated.

ALMOST OUT OF DEBT.
Missouri has Paid Another Half
Million on Its Obligation,
Another Year Will Wipe Away All
But the School Certificates.

But the School Certificates.
Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 27.-The
Board of fund commissioners, con-
sisting of Governor Dockery, Attor-
ney General Crow, Auditor Allen and
Treasurer Williams, met late yester
day afternoon and ordered the pay
ment OF $500, 900 of the outstand-
ing bonds Of the state.
BY this action OF the board Of fund
commissioners, the bonded debt, ex.
elusive of the school certificates, is
reduced to $751; 900, every dollar of
which will he paid during the ensuing
year. Notwithstanding 81. 100000
has bsen appropriated from thiSfund
for the worlds fair.
Referring to the action Of the
board and the rapid extinguishment
of the states debt, Governor Dock
cry said;
ut has been long, weary road
for the taxpayers of Missouri, but
We are now nearing the period when
the last vestige Of the public debt,
texelusire- at tAa-Sehoal certificates,
will have been fully paid. most
heartily congratulate the people OF
Missouri.
The public debt had its origin in
the riotcus waste OF the securities OF
the state. Prior to tine civil war, the
state had loaned its credit in aid Of
the construction of railroads, and
had taken a first lien upon the rail
roads to secure the Indebtedness
The value of these roads was fully
sufficient to secure the state from
loss, Governor Fletcher. in his inau-
gural address, stated that they (the
railroads. are ample security for the
amounts advanced to them respect=

Despite this fact stated by the gov
ernor, in 1863 the roads were sold for
| So, l31,49G, although the bonds and
interest at that time amounted to
| $31, ia, $40 The state was loser
| by the transaction, which eXtingush-
ed its liens at the exact amount OF
| $25. 604.344.
| This enormous loss to the people
and this great burden they have been
carrying for more than thirty years
was the direct result, in part, at
least, of the corrupt Use Of money to
debauch the state legislature, as is
clearly shown by the records of the
United States court at st. Louis.
These records show that S193. Gas. 60
was expended by the Missouri Pacific
Railway alone to secure the release
Of the states lien upon that railroad.
The democratic party came into
power on the first day ofjanuary, 3.
At that time the bonded indebted
ness was $21, 1884, 900. This debt was
increased $l45,410 by the issue OF a
bank stock refunding bond and a
bond to meet the liabilities OF the
penitentiary. The total bonded liza
bility, therefore, at the beginning OF
the period OF democratic control was
$21, 013,410.'
During the period Of democratic
ascendency, $40, 1916, 997.9+, have
been expended, exclusive ofrefunding
bonds, in the reduction Of the bond
ed debt and the payment OF interest.

GERMAN VESSELS MAY HAVE
CARRIED ARMS TO THE REBELS
Manila American Says lnsurgent Lead.
ers willingly Pay $50 Piece
For MauSers.

Victoria, British Columbia, March
5.-The Manila American, copies OF
which have just been received, says
it has very good reasons for believ-
ing that recently a vessel flying the
German flag landed Mauser rifles on
the coast OF Batangas for theiuse OF
the insurgents: 1t is said that the
shipment comprised seventy cases, or
about 1,400 rifles with anmuni-
ton.
The vessel, which was seen hover
ing around the coast Of Mindora for
several days, finally dropped up to
Batangas, almost within cannon
shot of Manila, and later disappear
ed. About the same time a cargo OF
arms were landed.
The destination of these arms, the
American says, can be readily imag-
ined. The rifles can be bought in
Germany and Japan for something
like $12 Mexican money and they
readily command $50 in gold on be-
ing delivered to the insurgent COM
manders.
In view OF the existence OF numer-
GUS recruiting stations in the district
OF Manila itself, the American believes
these importations are serious.
