AN INDUSTRIOUS THIEF.
Swiped Everything From Tents to
SUGAR and Butter

Swiped Everything From Tents to
Sugar and Butter.
In the arrest of Fred Peterson, the
police of the city have put a stop to
the career of one of the busiest sneak
thieves that ever operated in Kalis-
pell. Having no choice, he took
everything in sight, and in a short
time he accumulated an assortment
of stuff that would do credit to a
second hand 'store. Since his arrest
by Officer Demorest last Thursday
night the city police and Sheriff
Gregg and his deputies have been
looking up stolen articles, with the
result that Peterson stands a good
show of going to the penitentiary for
chant for everything that was not
tied down. The various stolen arti-
cles are packed away in the old Jail
at the fire hall and range from tents
and wagon covers to baking powder
and tea. Among the stuff is a camp
stove. two or three new wash boilers,
butter, sugar and many other things
Aside from this. he is accused of
stealing four saddles, and evidence
has been secured that leaves no
doubt but that he is the guilty man.
Since being confined in Jail differ
ent attempts have been made to get
him to confess, but with no avail
until yesterday evening, when Sheriff
Gregg succeeded in making him talk
He confessed to all the thieving and
told where all the articles were
cashed. Peterson formerly lived in
Chicago, where his father now re-
sides. He is quite young in years.

been in Kalispell about six weeks.

cause death of the life" convicts, the
report does not mention that dread
disease-despair. There is no question
hut that despair kills more of them
than any other disease. Many of the
diseases are no doubt contracted
through neglect and despair.
No wonder is it then that criminals
dread the sentence of life imprison-
ment almost as bad as sentence of
death. They mean one and the same
thing, only life Imprisonment is slow
death. We're it not for the hope the
convicted prisoner holds out for par
don or escape. it is hardly probable
that single convict would prefer
sentence of life imprisonment TO
hanging or electrocutiOn.

What Makes Success,

EX-President Cleveland was asked
by the New York World what are the
qualities by which men achieve sue
cess. He declared that they are cour-
age, persistence and determination.
The same question was put to Senator
Beveridge, upon which he named sin
cerity, courage and reserve. A mill
liOnaire in New York told the World
that man doesn't need intellect in
his business, for he could always hire
at cheap rate all the brains that he
needed. The chief requisite for the
man today was sand. Having made up
his mind what he wanted to do, he
should have the courage to carry it
out, and he should always find the re-
quisite intellect to enable him to per-
feet his purpose.

Life Imprisonment,

The report of the commissioners of
the state penitentiary at Joliet con-
tains some facts that should not make
d man sentenced for life feel comfort
able. Statistics contained in the re-
port show that life" convicts usually
die after serving a few years of their
sentence, and that few of them live
long after being placed behind the
bars. This dismal contemplation of
the fact that they are living in cap
tivity merely to die proves slow tor
ture and death.
Figures covering the period from
Jan. 1. 1858. to Sept. 80, 1902, show
that. of the total number sentenced
to life terms, 1863 per cent died before
serving two years; 1863 per cent died
before serving three years; 800 per
cent died before serving five years;
$40 per cent died before serving 10
years. Only 1.34 per cent survived af-
ter serving 30 years. The average
time served before death was years,
6 months and % days,

1t is entirely reasSuring to learn
that Secretary Hitchcock will not
hamper Mr.. Bonaparte in his investi-
cation of the land scandals in Indian
Territory. and that Mr.. Bonaparte
will select his assistants without bias
from the interior department. To
avoid any suspicion of that sort. il
would be wise for him not to choose
any official connected with that de-
partment. even one of so much eX-
perience as Frank Churchill. who has
been an Indian inspector and a rev
enue collector in the territory. His
great fund of information can as well
be drawn upon as a witness, for he
it is said, since last spring. when Mr..
Hitchcock visited the region. 1t is

Churchill presented last May the
charges made by Mr.. Brosius. of the
Indian Rights association. The queS-

Musical Courier, September, 1901:
Fabian's first public appearance in
Berlin was with Nine. Etelka GeTster.
upon which occasion he played LISTS
Hungarian Fantasia" and several so
10 numbers. His success was unquali-
fed, and the Berlin critics predicted
a great future for the young Ameri-
can.
From that day he was recognized
artist, and offers of engagements
poured in rapidly. He preferred re
naming i'll Berlin that season, and
frequently played with the Philhar-
monte orchestra at its public CON
certs. performing LISTS Chopin's f
minor. Mendelssohn's G minor and
Beethoven's concertos; also Weber's
concert-stuck with this famous or
ganization.
Early in the following year Fabian
was engaged to tour Germany with
Mime. Amalia Joachim, the great lie
dersanger. Returning to Berlin late
in the year from a successful tour,
Fabian went to Won Beulow. and DR..
Edward Frank. with whom he studied
off and on for two years. His cup of
success was not full. however, until
May. 1888. when he received a letter
from Able List. inviting him to
Weimar. Enthusiastic over his good
fortune. Fabian hurried thither. and
remained studying with the great
maestro until October, when he again
returned to Berlin.
Mr.. Fabian will play at Augustana
college next Tuesday. Sept. %. Tick
cts are now on sale and reserved at
