A telegraph dispatch from Mexico,
MO-, states that Miss Jessie Laidlaw,
OF Alexandria, and formerly of this
CITY, was robbed in her room in the
dormltory Of Hardin college. A thief
gained access to the rooms by means
OF a fire escape and succeeded in
gathering a lot of jewelry before one
OF the teachers, Miss Pattengill, put
the robber to fight.
Messrs. Hooker and Merrill ga
a very successful exhibition of the
Manville fire eXtinguisher on the
corner of Main and First streets last
evening. A big pile of lumber was
saturated with gasoline and benzine
and when lighted the flames shot up
twenty feet in the air. The ex-
tlnguishing material was scattered
over the flames and almost instantly
the fire died out. There was a
crowd of people out to watch the
demonstration.
Some person with devilish intent
broke two small trees on the north
side of the Barber residence on east
Fourth street. Just what condition
a person must be in to destroy trees
is something beyond comprehension.
Chief of Pol ce Keith officers a re-
ward of SIS for evidence that will lead
to the conviction of the. party or
parties who did the d~astardly act. If
they are discovered such an example
ought to be made of them that it will
be a warning to all future evildoers
in that line.
Last evening Dakota University's
foot ball team departed via the
Omaha road for Fargo and Grand
Forks, N. D., where they will play
two games, the first being Saturday
with Fargo and the Second Monday

unable to accompany the team on ac-
count Of an injury he received in the
Yankton game of Monday, and it is
very likely that he will be out of the
game the rest of the season. Here's
hoping that the team may come home
victorious in both games.
