A sack of second class mail matter

looking, and was taken to a point on
Minnesota street, some distance west of
Geo. Atchison's bus barn, where it was
found yesterday morning. 1t had been

five or six packages of merchandise
rifled. 1t is not known what was in the
packages, as only the wrappers were left.
The remainder of the contents of the
sack was papers, and these were left
undisturbed
The sack had been sent from Min

to be transferred to the Chicago &

OcIIy oDulS, ~. ~.
There is no clue as to who took the
sack. The police were notified, and no
doubt the government will take the
matter up.
A ham was stolen from an Omaha
freight car at about $3.50 o'clock last
evening, in the yards of that road in
this city. 1t was missed almost imme-
diately, and railroad man and another
found two young boys with it in their
possession walking toward the Sibley
park. The railroad mans companion was
stranger named Thayer, who has been
in the city for couple of weeks and
claims to be a private detective and has
been observing a good deal along the
river bank. The boys were turned over
to the police and were locked up.
The lads gave the names of Earl and
Emory Hollander, aged thirteen and
twelve years. Their home is at Blue
Earth, but their father has a position
in this city. They said they had started
for home, and in some way had gotten
off at Blue Earth, but had come back on
another train and were hungry. A man
whom they had seen in the city for
several days and who they think lives
at Winnebago City, told them that if
they looked through the cars in the
yard they might find something to eat.
They had acted upon his suggestion and
had found an Omaha freight car that
was not sealed, and the hams smelled
savory, so they took one, intending to
make meal off of it.
The father of the boys appeared at
the city hall this morning and said that
they had never done anything wrong be-
fore, and he was sure that they did not
break the seal of the car.
The matter was left open until the
railway officials can be heard from, as to
their wishes regarding the disposition of
the case
Chief Donahue allowed the two boys
to 60, after receiving word from the
railway company that it did not care
to prosecute them. The lads felt badly
over the matter, as did also their father.
The police last evening received tele-
phone call informing them that hold
up had been committed near the Bier
bauer brewery. When they responded
they learned that some young men had
been drinking beer and one had taken a
dollar from another one and left. As
the name OF the party who took the
money was known, the police advised the
one who was short to get out warrant
for the others arrest.
A young man named Larkin, twenty
two years old, was brought into the
police headquarters Saturday night by
the alleged detective, Thayer, who claim
ed that the young man had stolen a
watch and diamond ring from his moth
er in st. Paul and had run away to Wi.
mona where he had pawned the articles.
Larkin denied this, and Thayer went
out to get some evidence, and while he
was gone, the young man admitted that
he had stole the ring, valued at 500,
from his mother and had pawned it at
Winona for SIG. The watch was his
own, he said. He claimed that his par

DRESS MATERIALS FOR SPRING
Light-Weight Yelling and MohaIr.
20 BE Followed by Dimities, Or
candies and Batistes.

AS regards the spring dress goods
there are three materials which will lead
above all others. They are veilings.
tweeds and mohairs When an elabo-
rate costume is desired the lightweight
yelling ismost in demand, says American
Queen. For less dressy occasions the
mohairs will rule, while for tailor-made
gowns and walking skirts, the Scotch
tweed has first place. The veilings this
spring will comprise only monotones in
the plain weaves; in mohairs solid col
ors will also be most sought for, though
neat effects in mohair suitings will also
be popular In the tweeds there are
any number Of mixtures and color com
binations to select from.
In the summer dress goods all sorts Of
muslin and light silks will be in vogue
The new dimities. organizes and batistes
are exquisitely pretty in color and design.
The eolors are, generally speaking
bright. A lovely clear green, a rose pink
and a delicate mauve are seen in stripes
and figures. The designs OF some of
the batistes are not unlike those OF old
fashioned linen lawns. Organizes seem
to run to large flowers in allover effects.
and the dimities 10 Dresden patterns
An attractive dimity has clear white
ground. over which a double stripe OF
bright green is traced. The three-inch
space between the stripes is filled with
tiny dots Of black, rather far apart. A
cheerful pun dimity has small polka dots
of black over its surface A beautiful
organdie has a black ground with a
smashing design OF huge roses and leaves
in pastel tones Of pink. red and green.
Silks OF soft construction. such as
peau de sole peau De cygne, Shantungs
natural and dyed, and soft-fnish taft
fetas will undoubtedly rule. These silks
in plain and pin-dotted effects. hairline
checks, as well as small patterns in shep-
herd plaids will be made up into shirt
waists for spring wear
Foulards will SIN be worn. The fact
Is that for real use IN the summer wheth-

THE OLD PERCUSSION CAP.
Has Been Improved out Of Existence
Only Found ia Museum
Collections.

"What do you want? A box of caps?
Percussion caps? Bless my soul,
young man; | haven't seen a box in
years. had almost forgotten there
ever existed such thing as a pereus-
sion cap"
The speaker was an old-time gun
dealer in Broadway A youth had en-
tered the store to buy a box of caps,
says the New York Times.
What kind of gun have your" he
said. AN old-fashioned, double-bar-
rel, muzzle-loading, steel-twist, choke
bored shotgun. OF course. Well, they
are pretty scarce now. except in mu-
seums and private collections. And
what curiosities they are, to be sure.
1.-THE boy who got one Of them as a
hand-me-down from his father or
elder brother, or from his pet uncle,
always had his pockets full of caps
and tubes, or nipples. as some called
the parts on which the caps were fit
ted He always carried along a few
pins to pick burnt powder out Of the
nipples, so that the Illuminating pow
der in the cap could ignite the explo-
sive within the breech. Well, well!
II carries me back to think Of my old
gun.
Percussion caps? The making OF
them is practically a dead industry. II
was invented out of existence. OF
course there are caps still, but they
form a part of the oenter-fire cartridge
used in breech-loading arms. We call
them primers also. At one time
making percussion caps was tremen-
dous business. I do not remember
much about the manufacture in the
United States, as | came here from
England. but when / was a boy in the
old country half century ago the to-
tai output for sporting guns in Europe
alone amounted to 800, 100000 caps a
year They were made of copper, Of
which metal the consumption was
over 400 900 pounds annually
MY father was interested in the
business of making these caps The
process was quite simple. The blanks
were punched out Of thin rolled cop
per in the form Of a cross, with short
equal arms. or with only three arms,
and having been annealed were
pressed into caps by means Of dies,
which folded up the arms and united
them into a short tube. The central
part Of the blank formed the top Of
the cap. which sustained the blow of
the hammer. The inner bottom Of the
tube. or cap, was touched with so
luton Of gum, or glue. upon which
the Eliminating powder was dropped.
All that did not stick was blown or
shaken out, and that which remained
was covered with a small wad Of pa
per or other material, which in turn
was vanished to render 1t waterproof.
"Billons and billions Of caps were
made for the armies Of the world,
and the machinery was very ingenious,
especially that at the great Woolwich
arsenal And just to think-the day
OF such caps is ended! II is hard to
realize that an article once in so great
demand has been improved out Of ex-
istence."
