A WOMAN,S INVENTION.

"A woman said papermaker to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Gin
vented blue paper. Before her time
all paper was white.
"She was the wife of William tastes
one of the leading paper makers of
England in the eighteenth century. In
passing through the paper plant one
day she dropped a big blue bag into a
vat of pulp. Eastes was stern chap
and SO, since no one had seen the acct
dent, Mrs. tastes decided to say moth
ing about it.
THE paper in the vat, which should
have been white. came out blue. The
workmen were mvstified, tastes en-
ragged, while Mrs. Eastes kept quiet.
The upshot was that the paper was
sent to London. marked damaged" to
be sold for what ever it would bring.
THE selling agent in London was
shrewd. He saw that this blue tinted
paper was attractive. He declared it
to be wonderful new invention. and
he sold it off like hot cakes at double
the white papers price
"Eastes soon received an order for
more of the blue paper-an order that
he and his men wasted several days in
trying vainly to fill
told the story of the blue cloth bag.
There was no difficultp after that in
making blue paper. This papers price
remained very high. tastes having a
monopoly in making it,"

FIRE BUGS WORK
ENDANGERS
CITY
Fire Started on Gasoline Tank
at Brandt's Store This
Morning.

A sensational attempt to burn the
business portion Of the city was made
this morning about $3.50 when the oil
house in the rear of the F. ]. Brandt
store and belonging to it was set on
fire. Timely discovery alone saved the
entire block from destruction. The at
tempt was one of the boldest as we'll
as the most reckless in the history of
incendiarism. The oil house is locat-
ed in the rear of the main store and
work shop, and is separated from the
latter by an alley about three feet
wide. A hundred and fifty gallon
gasoline tank is located in the corner,
the top of the tank reaching to within
eight inches Of the wooden roof The
top of the tank has an aperture
through which the tank is filled, the
hole being covered with removable
lid. A hole six inches in diameter in
the wall Of the building permits the
insertion of pipe for the purpose of
filling the tank, the top of the latter
being on level with the hole in the
wall. The miscreant pushed a guam
tity of excelsior through the hole AMI
placed it on top of the gasoline tank
directly on the lid. He then set the
combustible stuff on fire and awaited
developments.

on the same rear yard, looked out

AN 0[O BIRD" At
THE STEALING
Police Sweat Confession Out of
Emma Rabinovitch-
Robbed Panovitz's.

Newspaper readers will recall re-
ports printed fortnight ago of a very
bold and daring daylight robbery at
Maple lake, in which it was stated
that two men had entered the cottage
OF 8. Panovitz of this city, assaulted
and gagged the maid, Emma Rabino-
witch, afterward ransacking the house
and making off with jewelry, clothing
and other property to the estimated
value of $500 to $3.50.
The holiness of the robbery created
considerable CONSERVATION among
cottagers at Maple lake, it being feared
that other similar crimes might fol-
low. The officers of nearby cities and
counties made great efforts to can
ture the thieves, but were unsuccess-
full and for good reasons.
In the first place, the story was
simply connection of the mind Of
Emma Rabinovitch, who last evening.
following long sweating" process.
admitted to the head of the police de-
partment and the Panovitzes. in whose
employ she was, that she herself COM
mitted the robbery and had made IN
the story In order to distract atten-
ton and suspicion from herself. She
was thoroughly successful in this, ex-
ceptlng In one regard, her story as to
now sne came to be outside the cot
tage when found, seemingly not hang
ing together we'll. Her story was that
sne had worked her way outside the
mouse before the departure of the rob-
bers.
Mr.. Panovitz went to Devils Lake on
Wednesday night and there learned
that the girl has past record, hav-
Ing been discovered in the crime of
theft on one or two previous occa-
sions.
Last evening Chief of Police Lowe.
IN the presence of the Panovitz fam
lily, subjected Miss Rabinovitch to a
most searching examination. She
stood pat" for long time, but final

crime, she having first, however. been
promised immunity from prosecution.
at least on the part of those who were
her victims. She had the booty in
satchel and all the stolen property.
win the exception of one ring. which
she could not find, was returned.
That the woman is an old bird at
the stealing game, the local police de-
partment does not doubt. One thing
certain. she is thoroughly ingenious.
as can vel! be imagined when it is
known that after telling her fake story
OF how the robbers assaulted her. she
tainted not once, but a half dozen
times. and every now and then since
the affair it was her custom to break
out crying and bemoaning the loss of
her own watch and pocketbook. which,
at the very time, she kept safely con-
cealed in her stockings.
She was allowed to leave the CITY
unmolested and has gone to Hans
boro, N. D., where it is reported she
has brother 1t is up to the Polk

not she shall be prosecuted. The girl

MAY BE GOLD IN SHOSHONE
LANDS.
Annotated Pres. to The Evening Time.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 3-Gold,
copper and other metals may possibly
be discovered in the Owl Creek noun
tains and adjacent territory. says H.
N. barton of the United States geologi-
cal survey, in a report on this region.
This report. which was made in ac-
cOrdance with senate resolution. has
more than usual interest. because of
its bearing on the value of the lands
in the coded portion of the Shoshone
Indian Reservation, Wyoming. which
will be open for settlement the mid
die of this month. There has been no
development of mineral resources in
the Owl Greek mountains and the I'M
mediate vicinity, but Mr.. barton is of
opinion that when the GRANTEES and
associated rocks of the region are
thoroughly explored valuable miner
ais such as gold and cooper may pos
sibly be found. He predicts also that
coal of local value will be discovered
in the Laramie formation.

HER HUSBAND
ELECTROCUTED
Mrs. Sarah ArntsOn Sues Fargo Cor.
pOratf0n for $95,O00 Damages.

Special to The Evening Times.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 3.-In the fed
eral court before Judge Amidon the
case of Sarah Arntson against the
Union Light, Heat & Power company
was started yesterday afternoon. In
the action the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover damages to the extent of $25, 900
as the result of the electrocution of
her husband, who was in the employ
of M. R. O'Neill, the hardware man.
The accident which proved to be SO
fatal occurred in this city last Sep
TENDER. The plaintiffs husband was
working in the basement of the resi-
dence Of C. r. Stone.
From the testimony that was intro
duced it appears that the attorneys
for the plaintiff will endeavor to show
that a current of enormous volt
age was passing through the wires.
Expert electricians occupied the stand
and explained to the jury the techni-
calities of the business as related to
this case. The case has the appear
ance of the most interesting civil suit
on the calendar, especially in this
city, where both parties reside.
