tall, and not as heavy as Dunn, and the
wound is lower on the hip than Dunn's.
Safe Blowers Tools.
w. F. Southwick, marshal of Water
vile, arrived this noon, bringing with
him the burglars tools that he found in
Sullivan's possession. 1t is certainly the
greatest assortment of tools of the kind
ever shown in Mankato, and Sheriff
King states that he never saw so many
in one mans possession before. Some
of them are very ingenious, and the
largest is of Sullivan's own invention.
This is rifle fitting into steel tube,
and is used for the purpose of shooting
hardened steel bullet into a safe, for
the purpose of introducing nitroglycerlne
into the hole thus made. A compressed
air chamber takes the reeoil and the
sound. Saws for saving steel, hardened
steel for the safe penetrating bullets,
smokeless powder, fuse, braces, drills,
seventy seven skeleton keys of all
shapes are only part of a most COM
plete and expensive outfit.
Sullivan boasts that he could get into
any ordinary safe within an hour. Mar

All Saints Day.

Wednesday was All Saints day
and was observed with special
services at the Catholic churches
throughout the country. A little
history concerning this holding may
be of interest to Herald readers.
In old English, all-Hallows, all
Hallowmas, or simply Hallowmas,
a festival of the ancient Christian
church, introduced because of the
impossibility of keeping separate
day for each saint. AS early as the
fourth century, on the cessation of
the persecution of the Christians,
the Sunday after Easter was ap-
pointed by the Greek church for
commemorating the martyrs gen
orally; and in the church OF Rome
a similar festival was introduced
about 61O A. D., when the old
heather, Pantheon, the present Ro-
tunda, or Santa Maria de Martiri,
was consecrated on March Is, to
Mary and all the martyrs. But the
real festival of ALI Saints was first
regularly instituted by Gregory ~,
IN s35, and appointed to be cele-
brated on Nov. 1. 1t was admitted
into England about $40, and is now
a well recognized day there and
wherever the church calendar is
closely followed. The choice of the
day was doubtless determined by
the fact that a chapel in st. Peters
church in honor of Gregory III in
731, on Nov. 1, which all the saints
was consecrated by, established the
date of the Roman observance. In
conformity with the local custom
Gregory " ordered the first of
November to be universally observed
for the commemoration.

How to Behave and Make Yourself
Very Popular.

Always make 1t point to obstruct
your neighbors' view of the field,
especially at the most exciting
moments. At this period co-eds
are advised to rise in a body and
dash for the ropes. If anyone in the
stand should be rude enough to
quietly breathe ''Down in 'front.'"
remember such expressions "ain't
refined" and hold your vantage
ground. Banners and flags should
always be carried, and if possible
carry the six by six feet ones there
by utterly obstructing the last
''peeping chance of the would-be-
spectator also they are pleasant
things to express your job with by
jabbing the eyes and ribs of the
poor, unsuspecting ones when CIV
ing the school yell.
A most important rule is never to
understand the game, otherwise
you might let your escort enjoy it.
Watch the crowd carefully and you
will be able to join in the cheering
but above all don't forget for an
instant that someone else" may be
trying to ''take in the game" and be
sure to practice the above rules
or else they may be able to see a
forward pass, etc., etc, etc. ~

Wedding-BeIls.

Last Tuesday morning, at st.
Andrews church of Potosi, was the
scene of beautiful and impressive
wedding, when Miss Christina
Stelpfug became the bride of Mr..
John Jentgens of Dubuque, Iowa.
The bride was fashionahly attired
in a white null. She wore veil
and carried brides roses, Miss
Margaret Stelpfug, sister of the
bride was bridesmaid, and Mr..
Edward Jentgens acted as best man.
Promptly at $50 the bridal party
marched into the edifice, to the
sweet strains of Lohringrin, played
by ST.. M. Theodore. Shortly after
this the nuptial mass began and
Rev. FIR. Pape pronounced the words
which made them man and wife.
The bride made a lovable appear
ance as she pledged her hand and
heart to the man of her choice.
After the ceremony many friends
and relatives went to extend their
hearty congratulations and then the
bridal party went to the brides
home where a sumptuous wedding
DINNER, which skilled hands had
been preparing for days previous,
was awaiting them.
The parlor was beautifully de-
corated in ferns and carnations and
the dining-room in autumn leaves
and bitter-sweets.
The bride is the accomplished
daughter of P. j. Stelpdug; she
possesses those qualities necessary
to the purest happiness and compau-
ionship.
Mr.. Jentgens is young man of
decided business ability; his sincerity
of purpose has held for him prOmi-
nent place in social circles, and is in
every way worthy of the fair bride
he has won. The happy couple will
make Dubuque their future home.
May their life be long, joyous, and
prosperous, is the sincere wish of
their many friends.

That which costs you nothing usu-
ally is worth nothing. You value
more highly that which costs you
most Credentials do not count for
much these days ability to do is
the main thing. You may be boosted
into position by admiring friends
but you will be misfit and will not
be able long to hold it unless you
are competent. Not what you
claim to be but what you are is the
test. To profess ability is one thing
to deliver the goods is something
quite another. Men who imagine
that fitness for heavens consists
only in purifying up a few cracks
and vanishing over a few discolora'
lions are as much mistaken as the
rich young ruler,
