Twenty.one Years ago this Week
in Aberdeen and Brown
sss
County.
From the Flies of the Republican.

About the first of December twen-
ty-one years ago the Aberdeen AM
ateur Dramatic Company was organ
ized. The members were D, G.. Rob

J. F. Greer, w. w. Lewis, Miss Ida
Perring, Miss May Jillson, Miss Mer-
tie Thompson and Mrs. J. F. Greer.
It seems from the following item
that there had fallen enough snow
in the hills to block the Milwaukee,
road: .We have delayed going to
press until Friday, thinking perhaps
that train might get through on the
Chicago, htilwaakes s. ST. rail road
and bring our paper. But NO mail or
express matter have arrived since last
Sunday morning, and this. friday
morning 1t lis announced that all
trains on this division have been
abandoned indefinitely. y
This incident of an old.time con-
ductor will be read with interest by
many: During a severe storm in the
hills east os here one day last week,
Conductor A. w. Glenn with one OF
trainmen, left the train that had
been showed in all night and proceed
ed four miles through storm that
few persons would have dared to ven.
ture out In, and procured q bushel
basket full of provisions for the near
ly famished passengers. This act de.
serves the highest concentrations
Mr.. Glenn and his assistants names
should be engraved fy the side Of
other railroad heroes who have risked
their lives foI the benefit of others
When the train reached Milbank the
passengers presented each gentleman
with a handsome seal skin cap

Its Postponement-
Serving on the jury in court is
-eichard Conan, who believes in los
ing as little time as possible in de-
Gliding cases brought before him, says
the Philadelphia Record. He hap
pened to be empaneled to try the suit
of the city against the estate of Rich
ard ]. Dobbins, which was an action
to recover assessment bills for the lay
ing of water pipe in front of the Dob
bins property at Frankford- The de-
Tense was that the property being
rural, no recovery could be had for
municipal improvements.
Conan, his face a deep study, had
listened attentively to the complicated
contentious of opposing counsel, and
when 1ull occurred in the argument
he arose, and. addressinS the court
himself, said:
Faith, your honor, I wud loike to
ask a quistshun that goes to the itch
meal pint iv the kase."
What is it," queried Judge Auden-
ried, surprised
well, it's this: Is this property in
the city limits or Without"
Why, of course it is within the city
limits, or the city would not be a party
to the suit" explained the judge.

MAP OF THE WORLD, SHOWING

a comfortable steamship between
morning and evening upon smiling
seas, and with pleasant company, the
fugitive is safe.
And this haven of refuge?
Cuba
In this year of grace 1903, with
Cuba before the world free country,
able to govern itself, to make it's laws
and to enforce them, and the United
States standing in the double position
the while as sponsor and protector,
the malefactor is absolutely safe in
this pleasant isle.
That was q far trip which Henry
Herman, the Milwaukee promoter, is
said to have taken the other day. when
he suddenly disappeared, owing $780,
600, under decidedly questionable cir
cumstances. He escaped safely to New
Orleans, and there took ship to Puerto
Cortez, Honduras, with which country
the United States has no extradition
treaty.
He might more easily have taken a
vestibuled train to Florida, junketed
on to Key West, and from there board
ed the Cuba steamer and been safe for
ever, or until Uncle Sam and the Gu
bans conclude an extradition treaty.
With Canada no longer a refuge, it
is Cuba now, and Just as convenient
of access. Once the steamer for Cuba
leaves the land and is three miles out
at sea the fleeing passenger is as safe
as if he were 5000 miles away and not
three.
However, the world is gradually
closing in on escaping criminals. Year
after year finds new treaties and new
laws for the arrest of men wanted by
Uncle Sam in foreign lands.
A treaty with Great Britain some
years ago made Canada-long the
haven of safety for boodiers, bride
givers and bribe-takers, embezzlers,
