GETTING RID OF PIRATES.
How a Band Was Quickly Disposed Of
in South China.

How a Band Was Quickly Disposed OF
in South China.
A reader who arrived at Hongkong
from Wuchow informs us, says the
South China Post, that on Sunday,
when he left Wuchow, there was q
great changing of gongs and blowing
of whistles. The people were in a
most excited state of mind and crowd
ed the streets and h%ousetops.
Inquiry as to this unusual state of
affairs ELECTED the information that
seventeen Of the most notorious rob-
bers of the district, men who had
kept the inhabitants in terror for a
long time past, had paid the penalty
OF their misdeeds. 1t being impossible
for the authorities to effect their ar
rest in the ordinary way, the taotai of
the district enticed the robbers to his
yamen by making an offer of a free
pardon and other inducements to
abandon their nefarious practices.
No fewer than seventeen of the ruff
fans swallowed the bait. Sixteen en-
tered the yamen and were promptly
surrounded by troops and made pris-
oneers. Another-the seventeenth
man-suspected a trap and took to his
heels without entering the official res
idence. Meanwhile the troops were
not handling the sixteen captives very
gently. They were promptly disarmed
and without much ado were stripped
and cut into a thousand pieces.
The enraged %populace were not long
in securing the two runaways and they
met their end in the same manner in
the streets. There was great rejoicing
afterward and it is hoped that this
lesson will have a deterrent effect on
others whose haunts may be in the
neighborhood.

Stays and Silence.

The origin of the corset is essen
TALLY un~aristocratic. A butcher in the
thirteenth century had a talkative
wife, who was, in addition, something
Of a virago. To reduce her to silence
he imprisoned her body in the first
pair of stays. Wives have initiated
and improved upon the idea of the
thirteenth century butcher. but stays
and silence have ceased to be syn
onymS.

Found Owner After Twenty Years.

Twenty years ago the Rev. Frank
Windnagle, now pastor Of the Metho-
dist church of Sodus, N. Y, found a
purse containing a sum of money. Mr..
Windnagle, who was then a boy, made
every effort to find the owner, but
failed.
He nevertheless treasured the purse
and the money all these years with the
thought that it was another's, and
that one day he would be able to give
it to the loser. While reading a Roch-
ester newspaper a few years ago he
saw an advertisement signed by J. S.
Westfall of Pen Yam. AS that name
was on the inside of the pocketbook
the minister thought that the adver-
tiser might be the owner A cores.
pondence showed the surmise to be
correct and the purse was returned.

HOPE TO END
AN old FIGHT
Sugar City ToWnSite Company
Takes Hand in County
Seat War.
DECIDE ON COMPROMISE
IDAHO CONTROVERSY MAY TER
INMATE IN SHORT TIME.

A meeting of the Sugar City Town
sity company, whoch created the town
of Sugar City, Ida, where one of the
plants of the Idaho Sugar company is
located, was held in Salt Lake yester-
day afternoon to decide upon the best
means to settle the county seat war
that has been waging for some time
in Fremont county, Idaho. The MEM
bers of the company that attended this
meeting decided to work for the re-
moval of the county seat from ST.
Anthony to a point midway between
Sugar City and Rexburg, which is
near the geographical center of the
county.
For many years st. Anthony has been
the county seat and a fight has been
on for some time to have the seat of
county government removed. Both
Rexburg and Sugar City, which are
only about two and a half miles apart,
have been candidates for the nUnor.
The county is enc of the wealthieSC and
most productive in the state, and It's
development has been considerably re-
tarded, it is said, by the county seat
war. AS a compromise measure and for
the purpose of settling the controversy.
the tOwnSite company has reached the
conclusion that under present COndi-
tiOns none of the other towns can cap
tuTe the prize from st. Anthony at
least for some years to come, and be-
lieves that for the best interests of the
county the seat of government should
be erected at the midway station.
Mark Austin, who has charge of the
field work for the Sugar City plant, at
tended the meeting and explained some
of the conditions that have come up as
a result of the controversy. He be-
lieves that the people Of the county
will support the compromise measure
and the matter will be put to vote.
