Wanted One for Ten Years.

Pinkerton detectives sent up from
Chicago by Milwauk officials OF the
Maryland Casualty company, when
had insured the bank safe, arrived
Sunday night and identified one OF the
badly wounded prisoners as man
named Rambler, who has been wanted
for ten years by the United States au,
thorities.
The prisoners were brought here
Sunday night Rambler is so badly
wounded that he probably cannot live.
The trio, captured after the fierce bat
tie Saturday night, refuse to tell who
the dead companion is.
While the community is violently
aroused over the affair." the officers he,
lieye they have the situation so wen
in hand that lynching attempt could
easily be handled. Every precaution
has been taken. Undersheriff Digman
led the posse on the chase and capture
Of the four men. He first tracked the
men by the imprints OF their shoes IN
tho soft soil a distance OF five miles
north toward Waupaca, where he
found they had entered swamp of
about 60 acres.

Posse Goes Into Swamp.

HAVING located ms men, the under
sheriff secured his posse ana re-
turned to the swamp. His posse was
armed with rifles and shotguns and
beat about the swamp until about 3
O'Clock when the robbers broke cover
and slirmish ensued
The robbers, seeing that they were
outnumbered, took to their heels ana
ran into a valley. Here they were or
dered to surrender, burt refused to do
so and fired upon the officers, who, in
turn, ordered the posse to return the
fire.
During the fight one OF the robbers
shouted: Come and get us.
At the same time a revolver shot
from the direction Of the brush showed
that the bandits were ready to fight.
Almost instantly the firing began
on account Of the large number OF men
in the pursuing party, great caution
had to be used by its members TO pre-
vent shooting the wrong men. For an
hour and half the thieves and farm
ers kept up a continued firing, and one
by one the bandits were brought down,
in spite of their efforts to hide behind
fallen log When they took shelter
on one side the farmers from the rear
did the firing, and as fast as they
changed positions the posse changed
its tactics
Finally one OF the bandits tried to
make run for It, and he was brought
down with a yolley and fell deal in his
tracks. The ether three remained in
the brush and continued 10 fight, but
when two had been wounded, probably
fatally, the foruth decided to surren-
der. With his hands up over his
head, he shouted to the farmers to
stop firing and he would give himst II
up. He then stepped out OF the IN
derbrush.
It's all off" he said. Two OF my
pals in there are badly shot up. They
need looking after"

either because few apply for admis-

results of an investigation made in

''out Of hundred officials of the adj
illustrative order, only one or two
marching well in advance of them.
Why2 Because it is served by an in
comparably excellent bureaucracy
which is organized with a perfect APP
probation of modern requirements.
Owing to an admirably arranged sys-
tenn CT examinations, the higher Of

very limited) are open only to the

in which young men were prepared
for official positions. and said If You

sia''s power, you viii find it in the
universities on the one hand and in

may truthfully be said that if Russia
wants to know the secret of her failure
she will find that she owes it TO her
administration.

ment for the benefit of humanity at
large" Such a concern would scorn
the idea of encouraging a man 70 pay
his premium in the hone that at the
end of a year he would receive a divl-
dend. II the policyholder go. the divi-
dend, say 81. he you'd go home ana
spend it for Gig rs an billiards.
President McCurd s red object was
to insure as many as possible, to pay
them at their deal and not turing
their lifetime one penny" There
speaks the true lover of maazind.
Rather than demoralize policyholders
with wealth, President McCurdy would
draw salary of 100000 year, In
stead Of mere $150.000, and would
smoke cigars and play billiards all
day. Think of the corrupting influence
of 81 in the family OF a country minis
Ter or doctor, and then thank heaven
that President McCurdy, or one of his
relatives, is willing to pocket the ac-
cursed gold. We marvel that in adj
dressing the bankers at Washington
Controller Ridgely talked Of disgrace
ful betrayals of trust" He should
know that greater love hath no man
than this. that a man take all his
friends money.
The new philanthropy calls for a
new edition of that once popular Juve-
nile, "Ministering Children" The part
of hero belongs to that sweet young
innocent, Robert Ii. McCurdy; and the
minor parts may go to the various
little McCurdys, McCalls, Alexanders
and Hydes, and their cousins and kin
by marriage. The little band OF angels
was, like the fathers, animated by a
single desire-to save world from
the deceitfulness and peril of riches.

What an Energetic Corporation is Do

What an Energetic Corporation is Do
ing to Develop It
American Review of Reyiews.--It
happens that Mexico can boast the
longest eIectric-power transmission
in the world from one big plant
namely, that utilizing the splendid
double-decked Necaxa Fails, whose
glistening silver spray, by means of
the electrical engineers alchemy, be-
comes gold indeed at distant Ell Orc,
or tie City of Mexico-a total line
transmission of III miles.
The Mexican Light & Power com
pany, an energetic corporation whose
present field of operation is the great
central Mexican plateau, is develop
ing and conserving the energy of the
Tenango and Necaxa rivers, which, at
point one hundred miles northeast
of the City Of Mexico break out Of
the mountains at a height of three
quarters OF a mile above the sea, and
flow, finally, into the Gulf of Mexico.
These twin rivers drain a territory OF
227 square miles, and, owing to the
extraordinary geologic nature of the
region, encounter a wonderful success
sion of waterfalls. or precipitous
plunges, with a total drop of more
than hat a mile-3000 feet-in a dis
lance of three miles.
1t is needless to say that with sucn
a head even a modest quantity of
water can keep some of the largest
electrical generators spinning; and,
by creating reservoir capacity, these
mills of the heavens can be kept
grinding out their grist of current all
the year round at steady output.
m 8 plan adopted for utilization has
been bold, simple, Napoleonic. The
Tenango river has been consolidated
with the Necaxa, and their joint flow
has been damned p into a reserve
fund in an artificial lake at Necaxa.
Thence the water goes through two
lofty tumbling" acts on the Necaxa
river, and, passing downward, gets a
total drop of 40 feet in a mile be-
fore it smashes headlong into the
first power plant.
Here, however, all its potential is
not given up, as Immediate below IS
another giddy drop of 100 feet. at

Let Something Good Be said.

When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall,
instead
OF words of blame, or proof Of eaus

Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head,
Even the cheek of shame with tears is

If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainl5 turn
aside
In ways of sympathy: no soul 50
dead
But may awaken strong and glorifed,
If something good be said.
And so charge We, by the thorny
crown,
And by the cross on which the
Savior blej.
And by your own souls hope OF fair
renown,
Let something good be said.
