Does Not Apply.

Insurance Commissioner E. H.
Dearth was advised by Attorney Gen
eral w. B. Douglas that the new law
requiring fire insurance companies in
towns having fire departments to con-
tribute 2 per cent Of the premiums
collected to fremen's relief funds,
does not apply to premiums collected
in 1902 This will save the companies
doing business in Minnesota nearly
$4,000.
The total premiums received in
towns having fire departments in 1902
was $4,267 ,3O7.27. The apportionment
for firemen's pensions on this amount
under the old law amounts to $45,-
449.12. If the new law applied, the
superintendent would amount to $685.
346.15.
The premiums received in St. Paul
were $773,463.63, on which the, appor-
! tionment under the old law aggre-

WAYS OF WOMEN.

A woman stops insisting on having
her own way when you insist on her
having it.
There is no age at which a woman's
heart will not melt to the man who
smiles upon her.
Every time a bank informs a woman
she has overdrawn her account she
gets mighty suspicious about the hon-i
esty Of the cashier.
There will be some way of under
standing women when someone can
explain how a woman will think a mat

her son being like him.-New York

sBB AfN G6Is BOYS
Weber Chased q Couple Of
Boys Eve Miles Monday
and CAPTURED Them.

For a whole hour Monday after
noon the passenger train from the
south over the Milwaukee road was
lost to the train dispatcher at Sioux
City, and for all he knew the train.
had run off the track and killed every
living person.
The train left Scotland on time and
it was an exact hour before it run
over to Trip, Rhen it should have
got there in 26 minutes. Two.
country lads were the cause of the
delay. III. l.. Bras and wife, who.
came in IN the passenger, said the
trainshad got about half way to Trip
when they were startled out of a
years growth by the crash OF the
window light by which they we're
sitting. Mr.. Bras looked out aud saw
two lads hiking across the prairie as
fast a. they could The glass when,
1T broke flew all over Mr.. and Mrs
Bras and frightened them.
Mr.. Bras called the attentionso OF
the brakeman to the incident and to
the fleeing country lads. The brake
man pulled the airbrake cord and
stopped the train. He told Conductor
John Weber OF the Incident and to
gether they. took up the chase of
the boys, who were about IL and IA
years old. The boys had a good
start across the prairie, but the pur-
suers kept them in sight. The con-
ductor and brakeman were en-
couraged in their race by the shouts
and yells from. the passengers in the
coaches, who were enjoying the
unique rae to the full.
The boys made for their home, but
they were pursued up to. the very
threshold and into the house. Con.
uuctor Weber followed his boy inte
the house and pulled himsont from
under the bed, while the brakeman
secured his prize by pulling his lac
from under a corn Crib. AS it was /
two mile race there was not muel
wind left in the crowd after it wa
, over, and the two miles back wa,
taken with greater ease, y hut thl
v%ictors were cheered by the passenge
crowd when they got back to th.
train. Conductor Weber took th,
boys over to Trip and turned then

will doubtlessly be prosecuted.

THE sC0LLARD BOYS
Have Got Free From Their Gambling
and Robbery Scrape in Sioux
Gifv.

. Without doubt good many Mitch
ell people will remember George and
John Scollard, who spent aportion of
the summer here in 1898. They were
engaged in getting out a city di-
rectory for Mitchell and they appear
ed to be pretty reliable young fellows.
Evidently they got on too swift a
pace and they were at last nailed to
the cross. Several months ago they
were arrested in Sioux City, where
they have been running a gambling
house for several years, or the charge
Of holding up one of their customers.
1t seemed that the customer made a
big winning off of the house and was
getting away with the money. The
IScollards didn't propose to see their
money go SO easy and they according
iy took the easiest method to get il
back.
While they were out on bail George
Scollard skipped out to Idaho ane
the sheriff had to make a trip out
there to get him. John hied away tx
British Columbia, and is there yet
leaving George to. fix up the trouble
According to the Sioux City Journa

two brothers was settled by Georg'
paying a fine of ST 900, which relieve
both of the men from further prose

MI. Chamberlain Quoted Poetry
When Joseph Chamberlain was a
Liberal a good many years ago, he
made a speech at Gloucester, England,
In which the future. colonial secretary
quoted a nursery rhyme with great eff
feet. Mr.. Chamberlain was criticising
Lord Beaconsfield and Lord Salisbury
on their return from Berlin and nego-
hations with Bismarck. One of them
had used thesword '.if'' a good many
times in the course of a speech explain
ing their action. ut reminds me-" said
Mr. Chamberlain. of a rhyme / learn
ed from my nurse:
eff all the seas were bread and cheese.
fall the rivers were ink,
II all the lakes We're currant cakes,
What hould we have to drink?'
The effect of this opposite nonsense
on the audience was tremendous, and
the quotation is ranked as one of the
great o~ratorical hits of the Birming-
ham statesman's life.

Some Indian chiefs were dining at

saw a white neighbor using cayenne
pepper. He took the bottle and shook
it over his plate. After the next mouth
full, though he kept a calm face, the
fiery pepper caused tears to flow down

him,a"eWhy do you weepY'
He answered. Il was thinking Of my

His neighbor then took the pepper
