Nearly Murdered by Two Tramps

Waupaca, Wis, Nov. 81
Frank Bartel and Fred Schultz
Of Lanon, Wis, were nearly
murdered by two tramps.
The two entered a box car in
tending to steal a ride to Marsh
field, where they were going to
work. They discovered two
tramps in the car after the train
was in motion. They jumped
on the men from behind and
pounded them with such force
that they lost consciousness.
When the men recovered they
found that the men were gone
and SIS had evidently gone with
them.

AGRICULTURAL NOVELTIES.

White Oranges, Seedless Lemons and
Grapes an Inch In Diameter.
In few years white oranges may
grace the American dinner table, says
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post One of the
explorers of the agricultural depart
ment discovered this freak of nature
in his ranbles along the shores of the
Mediterranean some months ago, and
brought some cuttings from the tree to
the United States. These were care

plant was sent to Santa Ana, CAL, to
be tried in that climate A couple of
years now will see the first fruit. If it

widely scattered. and in time the white
orange may be as plentiful as the seed

ton consists Of two handles pivoted to-
gether with forwardly projecting ex-
tension to fit over the nose and under

Newspaper For the Nervous.
A bank director in Vienna, assisted
by two friends who are lawyers, has
decided to publish newspaper for
nervous persons, says the Chicago In

Martinique, big bank failures and 9TH

The directors have invited some news

Interest in f. III. Clergue's Michi-
picoten gold district, about which little
had been heard In the last three years,
says dispatch from Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich, was revived when it was made
public that one of the properties upon
which exploration had been in prog
ress several months had developed a
marvellous showing.
This strike was made on the Mari.
posa location on South Wawa lake, In
which gold was found In several
places. The company controls 400
acres Of land, on which are located
seven claims, the richest being known
as the Mariposa. 1t has been found
that the value Of this property has
been greatly underestimated even by
the experts. Assays OF rock taken at
random from the stock pile went as
high as $3.50 In gold and $152,85 IN
silver to the ton.

COSTLY WAYS OF MoDlsTEss

Dressmakers Think $4,000 Little
Enough For Trousseau.
It was the New York dressmaker,
she of Fifth avenue and the big up
town houses. who secured for Miss Bell
the decree Of the court giving her $12,-
600 for her trousseau for her marriage
to Count Paul d'Armont, which has
just been solemniZed in Paris, says the
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press. To many $4,000 for a
trousseau may seem a great deal, but
this sum is viewed with disdain by
many Of the New York modistes. The
amount, they declare, Is very modest
sum for a fashionable bride to set
aside for her wedding outfit. AS much
may be spent for single coat lined
with Russian sable or for a wedding
veil: for laces and furs. these arbiters
Of New York fashion say, determine
the value Of trousseau.
They admit that with careful man.
agement $4,000 will equip fashion
able bride with the requisite number
Of gowns, coats, hats and the minor
accessories Of wedding outfit, but the
money must be in good hands.
The following estimate Of bridal
outfit to cost not more than $4,000 has
been furnished by Franco-Celt, who
looks upon it as an ordinary expendi-
ture:
Six evening gowns, four OF them
averaging $500 apiece and two
more elaborate creations at 800
apiece Observation-Disclosures. 5000

equally unanimous in declaring that it
was by no means an excessive allow
ance. Many wedding veil worn by

said, was worth fully that sum, and

L. Indra, the corner clothler, has
resumed his place in the advertising
columns of The Capital. Mr..
Indra has laid in a very fine line of
winter goods, and invites the people
to call and inspect his suits and over

Rev. MI. Torsey, the presiding
elder of the Methodist church, am
nounced that he would remove to
Mitchell for his headquarters but we
notice by the Parkston Advance of
last week that he has decided to re-
main at that place for the winter at
least.
Jos. Swift was over at Miner last
week. He said the man who had
under control about all of the cream
cries and skimming stations in that
section had failed and that all Of the
farmers will lose the milk that they
had delivered to the stations for the
last month and a half. Sherman
made an assignment to one of the
banks Of all the property in his pos
session. He had three creameries and
six skimming stations in operation,
and the loss will be quite heavy to-
the farmers. Jos. Swift, jr., former
ly Of this city, had charge Of the
Miner creamery and got out an at
tachment on a quantity Of butter
that was ready for shipment to pro-
tect himself from the loss of wages
that were due him. He is not sure,
however, that he can hold the but

Boys Remarkable Escape.

Western Railroad, in which the engi

opcd that a thirtcen.year-o boy, Peter
Fitzgerald, Jr., was stealing ride on

Millard go back on the train with the

The speed of the train he describes
