A Reign of Terror.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-With the
Russian capital seemingly on the verge
of an incipient revolution, thousands
of workmen parading the streets, agi-
tators and fanatics sowing the seeds
of disorder, half the city in dark
ness and without fire protection
owing to wallxouts, the situation
was hourly growing more tense when
the authorities decided last night to
adopt energetic measures to preserve
order, prevent rioting and overawe the
violent minded, at the same time seek
ing to placate the striking workmen
satisfaction of their demands in so far
as they are just and reasonable, thus
acting with combined frmness and
moderation.

Kidnapped.

Brainerd, Mimi. Jan. 1s.-Edith
Schilb, 9 years old, was kidnapped at
the Lincoln school yesterday morning.
A tail, slender woman, attractive of
face, and dressed in black, called at
the school house shortly after 0 o'clock
and asked to see the child. When the
little one came to the woman, the lat
ter seized her and, placing her in a
buggy, drove away. The vehicle was
traced to Crow Wing, where it was
learned the woman and child had
taken train for the east.
From her appearance, it is believed
the woman was the mother of the
child, which was deserted when six
months old. The child was taken by
John Schilb. He and his wife reBred
the little one, and always led her to
believe they were her parents

JURY DISAGREEs.
After Maay Hours Of Balloting the
Jury in the Koch Trial Makes
Report to that Effect.

New Ulm. Mimi, Jan.2l.-The Koch
jury has agreed TO disagree.
After being closeted for over forty
:,ours they fled into the court room at
$50 yesterday morning and announced
to Judge Webber that they were abso'
lutely unable to arrive at an agree
ment.

news to Koch. who was sitting in his
cell. apparently we'll contented.
lie arose quickly upon the approach
OF the officer and when told that the
jury would report in few minutes re-
marked:
''lf the Jury agreed, I'm all right"
He quickly prepared to go to the
court room and as he passed along the
corridor and out through the vest,bule
aud sheriff's office he laughed and joked
with his attendants as though he might
be going on a fishing excursion rather
than TO court room where he might
hear himself convicted of murderin the
first degree.
His self control was marvellous and
the nerve he has exhibited throughout
the entire ordeal did not desire him for
a moment, not even when he entered
the court room and hundreds of eyes
were riveted upon him, noting his
every look and movement.
The disagreement did not come as
much of surprise to many. Even the
prisoner was calm and composed when
the announcement was made.
Judge Webber discharged the jury
men and they Immediately shook hands
with the prisoner, the attorneys who
have interested themselves in the case
and expressed themselves as we'll
pleased that they were through with
their labors.
The last ballot was taken Thursday
night and stood Q to for acquittal.
It was apparent at once that an agree
ment was an impossibility, and the
fury retired with the understanding
that they would make a report in the
morning:
The first ballot taken by the jury
after their retirement stood to s for
acquittal.
Judge Webber decided that another
jury must pass upon the remarkable
chain of circumstantial evidence which
connects DR.. Koch with the murder of
Louis A. Gebhardt, and the immediate
disposition of the case was set for
Jan. %.
The judge overruled a motion made
by Attorney L. L. Brown for the de-
fense that new trial be ordered i'm
mediately. Mr.. Brown then petitioned
for a now trial not later than Feb. l.,
but this also was denied. d..
Gen. Childs announced that the state
would move for a change of venue, on
the ground that it would be impossi-
bic to secure fair and impartial trial
in Brown county.

PLANS A GLASS BUILDING.
It Is to Be Built in Classic Design
, for National Bank Of
Des Moines. &C."

Des Moines, lac. e. Eastman has
submitted plans to the officials Of the
Des Moines national bank for q bank
building of classic design to be built
of glass, after his new plan of glass
construction. The building, If con-
structed, would be most unique, and
would be especially attractive, with its
heavy columns Of wire glass. The build
ing would front on Walnut street and
extend along Sixth street for half 9
block.
Mr.. Eastman's scheme of glass con-
struction has provoked much comment
throughout the country, some of 1t most
encouraging. The general plan fol-
lows:
It consists of steel framework, sup.
ported by brackets attached to the
beams of the floor, in duplicate, max
ing two walls of opalescent wire glass,
the glass being set in the steel frame
work. .r.'.,. s..
The glass walls are approximately a
foot apart, making an insulating dead
air space to prevent loss of heat in will
ter and to prevent undue heat in sum-
mer.
This system of construction allows Of
any arrangement of floor plan, because
windows are unnecessary; and for the
same reason the exterior will admit
of any style of treatment entirely free
of the restrictions of fenestration.
Mr. Eastman believes windows to be
an insurmountable evil in buildings be-
cause of the admission of air through
them, which is responsible for the dust,
smoke, odors, insects, leakage OF heat,
danger of falling out, admission OF rain,
not to mention the danger and neces-
sity of washing them, loss OF papers,
colds from draughts. etc.
The wall is fire resisting to practical
degree, as it has been demonstrated
that wire glass will resist hot fire
and, though necessary to replace it, the
fire damage would be local and easily re-
placed.
The inside treatment allows of a
marble wainscoting halfway to the
ceiling with glass over SO that the wall
space is available for desks, counters,
shelving, etc.. on all sides of room

Two Brothers Murdered.

Rapid City, 8. D., Jan. 21.-News
has just reached here of the murder of
the Cain brothers, two bachelors, who
lived at the Tamarack mine, fifteen
miles west of this city.
The murder is the ,greatest mystery.
It isknown that the brothers had
trouble with certain friends, and they
are suspected of the crime. The mes.
sage states that the bodies hNve the ap-
pearauce Of having been clubbed to
death. One theory is that they were
murdered for the wagonload of mer-
'chantlise. recently purchased in this

duced than with windows.
If an outlook is desired stationary
portal of plate glass of one thickness can
be placed in the wall, or the columns
in the treatment of the exterior can be
of plate glass forming bays.
The cost, compared to stone, terra
Gotta or brick, would be from a quar-
ter to a third less for the outer walls.
The inner construction of the build
ing is similar to that in general use,
either steel or masonry. In steel con-
struct!on, the outer supporting columns
are set back from six to ten feet, and
the floor beams support the outer walls
by their cantilever properties, thus re-
lieving the columns of the contraction
and expansion now incident to those
which are in the outer walls

Thieves at the Capitol.

Vandals and thieves are already get
ting in their work at the new capitol
building. Among the crowds of peo-
pie who have visited the structure in
the past two weeks there have been
some whose instinct for curios was
stronger than conscience. The capitol
commission employees have already
missed several of the ornamental brass
doorknobs with which the building is
fitted.
Some bold persons seem to have
actually walked away with handsome
chairs. The, new capitol is full of
workmen and men are carrying furni.
ture in and out every day, SO almost
any one can pick up a chair and walk
out with it and not attract attention.
Either some furniture has gone astray
in delivery, or else some thief has taken
chances by carrying chairs away in
plain sight of hundreds of people.

e-al.
During the last two years there were
filed 1882 new claims, of which os2
were granted and 294 rejected. A com
parison with the reports of other years
shows that this is the greatest number
of pensions ever granted through the
agency Ct the adjutant generals office
in the history of the state.
The report shows an increase of 300
per cent over the work done in this d.
vision during the previous year. The
claims granted during the last two
years represent an aggregate annual
income to the pensioners of $34,530.

MINISTERS DO NOT
MAKE MARRIAGES
SAYS REV. WRIGHT AT THE UNI
TARTAN CONGRESS.
Wants Assurance That God Is Respon'
sIble for Marriages Before He
Says Divorce ls Wrong.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 2S.-After
spending more than an hour today In
discussing the so-called divorce evil
the congress of Unitarians declined 10
go on record except in a passive reso-
luton which amounted to nothing save
as an appeal for men and women to be
better and try and live happily to-
gether- after entering into the bonds OF
matrimony. The resolution as first
presented declared divorce to be q
great evil, and this brought forth o
stirring protest from Rev. DR.. Anna @.
Spencer of New York. She said that
next to the injury done by the sensa-
tional press is the absolutely brutal
discussion of the subject in conventions
Of this order, She opposed the assump-
ton that divorce and marriage Of di-
yorced persons is evil.
Rev. Carroll d. Wright, president,
was asked for declaration on the, sub
ject. He said; Ministers do not make
marriages. p Where such unions are re-
suit of love In its highest plane, di-
vorce is sacrilege and crime. Di-
vorce actually takes place when part
ners to matrimonial contracts disagree
and courts in according them legal
separation simply define the new re-
lation. How are you going to affect
such condition by religious action
You had better resolve that man is
happier by being good.
Il want some assurance that God is
responsible for all marriages before
say unqualifiedly that divorce is an
evil. Where marriage is not inspired
by love it cannot too soon be put
asunder. l would say that an ecclesi'
astical body that would try to prevent
remarriage where there is respect and
love between the parties should be in.

SHAW CR|T|CHES
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
THEY DEVELOP FIXED TYPES IN.
STEAD OF INDIVIDUALITY.
Secretary Of Treasury Has No Use
For "Sissy" Membranes Mod
ern School System.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 2S.-The Twen-
tieth century home life and the public
school system of America were given
some hard knocks by Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw tonight. In an address
before the international convention of
the Railroad Y. M. c. A. he congratu-
lates the delegates upon the fact that
the. world has brought and laid at their
doors such rugged and sometimes fierce
tasks as to teach them self-reliance,
discretion and responsibility. t
Twentieth century conditions in the
United States are not as we'll calculat-
ed, | fear, to develop strong charac-
ters, great minds, colossal personali-
ties as we're the conditions in the same
period Of the; preceding century" he
declared, and then continued: 81 thor
oughly believe in the public school, but
its tendency is to produce fixed types
of manhood and womanhood, rather
than to develop individuality. In a
family of one or two children it's nat
ural and relatively easy to keep the
boy from crying loudly, or laughing
bOiStciouoiy, vi hbhllhS Niboioubiy
The natural promptings, of youth are
eurheds his .pecnliarities suppressed and
he is urged to be just as nearly like a
girl as 1t is possible for a boy to be-
come He sees little of his father in
the home, Pnd when he goes to school
II is under the tuition of girl. She
can doubtless teach him some things
better than a man, but she is less like
ly to develop in him masculine char
acter. Our civilization is relatively
strong in its sympathies and corre-
spondingly weak in its chivalry. We
may all thank God for noble, womanly
women, while praying to be delivered
from sissy men.
Suppose we follow this lad through
school. He enters at a certain age, and
as far as possible he is fashioned to a
pattern. He is given just so much
mathematics, no more and no less; |;
just so much geography, no more and
no less; just so much grammar, no
more and no less, and trace of very
many other things, and only trace of
any. Then, II he entered at the regu-
lation age, he will finish his course on
schedule time, in every way perfect and
ideal, If, as is expected, he shall be
just like every other sample produced
at the same factory. His individuality
has received little encouragement
and, what is still worse, the chances
are ten to one that when he does grad
uate he must seek situation instead
of job l am not saying it can be
otherwise; speak only of conditions
as they exist"
