Hold up Arrested.

Occupying a cell in the county Jail
at flandreau is a man who gives his
name as William Ester Holdup, and
who is charged with attempting to
rob a Colman saloon-keeper named
Anderson. Holdup claims to have
come from Yankton.
He purchased a glass of liquor in
the Colman saloon, and when the
proprietor was called temporarily to
the rear of the building, followed him
and closed the door. Holdup, having
shut the saloon man out of the build
ing, then went to the safe, from
which he is said to have distracted
the sum Of $50.
Anderson, suspecting that all was
not right when the stranger closed
the rear door on his, fastened around
to the front of the building, and,
with the assistance of those who
CHANGED to be passing, captured the
fugitive before he could escape. The
money was recovered.
Another stranger, who was sup
posed to be a partner of Holdup, was
chased by citizens who attempted to
capture him, but he succeeded in es-
Gaping from the town, exchanging
several shots with his pursuers, non
OF which took effect.

Gen. Perdomo, representing the gov
eminent forces at Panama.
From the time he took office Gen.
Fernandez has worked from IA to is
hours a day. He was the first minister
OF war who, during the long revolution,
assuming the policy that to terminate
the war stringent measures had to
be taken. At the same time he was
lenient where political opponents Of
fered submission.
His opponents soon learned that in
him they found a man not only of
energy, but a man who would use all
the power and authority of the gov
eminent to enforce his policy. Guer-
lila after guerilla began to submit,
to leave the country or disperse.
His work became easier daily. Soon
the revolutionists, taking advantage
of his offers of personal safety for
those who laid down their arms,
started on their way to the capital,
promising not to oppose the govern
ment any longer.
Gen. Fernandez, upon the signing of
the peace treaty, ordered free transit
in the country, both for conservatives
and liberals; liberty for all political
prisoners; reestablishment of mail
and telegraphic service throughout
the country without any restrictions
to any political party.
All these measures had the effect
of opening again commerce in the
country and lowering exchange from
$4,000 per cent. TO 5,5ooper cent.
His success in bringing the revolu-
ton to a close has given such prestige
to the young minister of a that he
will most likely be elected president
of the republic at the forthcoming
elections.

In machinery Ruskin saw only un-

Tense of his point of view, but some
thing also may be conceded to the
point of view of the plain person who
believes that the world is pretty well
ordered, after all. Such q plain per-
son is Joshua Unison, whose large,
if not very closely reasoned, views
were recently set forth in the col
umns of the Chicago Record-Herald.

Crushed to Death.

Edward Stewart and Daniel Bronson
were crushed to death together with
fifty head of cattle in the collapse of
the large barn on William Stewards
ranch near Volga during the furious
windstorm which swept across the
prairie.
Some Of the cattle were extricated
from the ruins with broken limbs and
backs. Their suffering was pitiful and
they were Immediately killed.
Both of the victims of the collapse
were dead when they were found,
buried beneath the debris. Bronson's
body was crushed nearly beyond rec
Ornition.

Would Whip the Old Man.

The little town of Athol has a wo-
nan school teacher who is eminently
qualified to hold her own against all
corners.
The other day she whipped one of
the small school boys, and when the
weeping youngster had related the oc-
currence to his father, the latter sent
word to the teacher that before she
whipped his boy again she would
have to whip him.
The young woman, nothing daunted
by the threat of the boys father,
promptly replied:
"Ill whip whichever one I get hold
of first"

THE VICES OF BRITTANY.
Who Are So Near to the Great
French Capital.

Having spent two summers in Brit
tany, I find myself wondering that one
can be SO near and yet SO far from civ
ilization; that in this day and genera
ton, in q country whose advanced
thinkers lead the world, there can be
people SO ignorant of all that makes
life acceptable to IN enlightened peo-
pie. Their semicivilized manner of life
and thought, however, will not be
changed until the new generations are
taught in public schools that life is
made up of duties which each cody,
person owes to himself.
Take, for instance the thing that is
next to godliness-cleanliness. The
Bretons have not the least notion of
what it is. To get into their home,
which more properly should be called
huts, one must step through a deep
mire of muddy manure, which rots
there from years end to years
end. The pigs live with the people, and
if the COWS and oxen do not it is be-
cause they either cannot get into the
doors or they would take up too much
room in the small houses.
The children grow up like little saw
ages until they are put into the hands
of sisters to be taught their letters,
then the teaching that concerns soul
and body is done by sisters who know.
little about life, health, the discipline
ing OF minds, the teaching of truth and
righteousness hardly more than the
parents of these children do. Thus
generation after generation goes on
with the same habits, with the same
vices, utterly ignorant Of progress, Of
enlightenment.
Drinking in Brittany is a scourge,
says a correspondent of the BROOKLYN
Eagle. The soberest have their DAYS
in which they usually get dead drunk.
In Pont Aven I had a woman come an
hour in the evening to do some work.
She told me from the beginning that
she could not come on Thursdays#be-
cause she vas obliged to go and get
her husband from the marchand de
win, for thatwas the day he got drunk.
You will find a common bedroom in
each house in which the whole family
sleep. I have seen these rooms with
q bed in each corner in which mother.
father, grandmother and grandfather
and six small children sleep and the
pigs and their family had = sty in the
middle Of the room. And yetitis said
that Brittany is a moral country: but
doubtless their idea Of morality is q
broad one.

HANSMANN AT LAST 0USTED.
Court Decides Maplewood Justice
Is Illegally Holding Office.

Judge Jesse Mcdonald Monday sustained
the demurrer of the relator to the return
of the respondent in the case of the State
ex rel Johnston VS.. Hansmann. thereby
putting quetus upon the claims Of Eugene
Hansmann to the office of Justice Of the
Peace of Maplewood.
Hansmann was a candidate for reappoint-
ment to the office when he learned that
Henry Helmering was seeking the place;
He then withdrew. but later announced
that he would hold the office. as he had
discovered that his term did not expire for
two years.
Helmering was appointed by the County
Court at Clayton, but Hansmann continued
to remain in office. On the advice Of Coun-
ty Counselor R. l.. Johnston. the County
Court declined to recognize him. and the
ministerial officers declined to serve his
writs Hansmann commissioned special
deputies, and quo warranto proceedings
were finally instituted to GUST him.
A change of venue was taken to St Louis.
Hansmann's attorney said that there prob
ably would be no further action taken.
