SOLDIER THIEF AN AMERICAN.
Man Who Swindled German Town
 Officials a Clever Crook,

Berlin, Oct 19.-Although the man who, in. the disguise of an army off, cer, held up and robbed the mayor and municipal authorities of Koepe- nick has not been arrested 1t Is said that he has been identified as Adol- phus Milner, an American citizen, and son of a German emigrant to the United States. . .a..
 He has run lively criminal ca reer, although he once worked hon. estly as barbers assistant at Frank furt. Firing there he journeyed to Bavaria, where he posed as an off, cial auditor empowered to revise the accounts of the local officials. By this means he managed to appropri- ate various sums of money.
 After a series of clever and suc- cessful swindles he was caught and sentenced to ten years Imprisonment. He was lately released and reappear- ed in Frankfurt, whence he suddenly vanished. It is declared that his ar- rest is impending.
 Meanwhile the public are indulg- lh5 HI hl lhC SApShSC VI his latest victims. Street hawkers are thriving on the proceeds of their sales of picture postcards illustrat- ing the robbery and poking fun at the mayor and municipal authorities. A humorous brochure ridiculing the municipal authorities, the army and the police is selling like hot cakes for half mark. The music halls are echoing with satirical songs. The Metropole theater has staged a far cical piece, in which squad of the finest troops of the army obey un- hesitatingly the ridiculous orders of an unknown captain.
 The kaiser is intensely interested in the search for the criminal. It is asserted that he has given hints to the police regarding the pursuit. It is reported that his majesty said to a member of his suite that a man who could carry out such a coup in time of peace would be worth a whole army corps in time of war.

GOVERNMENT ANXIOUS.
Over the Extinction of Little Fishing
 Town at St Pierre,

Sydney, c. B., Oct 19.-The last remaining settlement of the once vast domain of France on the North American continent. the little fish ing town of St Pierre, on the Isle of Miquelon, off the mouth of the St Lawrence river, is fast becoming de- populated and grave concern is felt by the French government over the serious condition of affairs. The feel ing of the French government over the shrinkage in this tiny island pos session is not due to pride alone. From the intrepid mariners of Mi quelon she picks the men around whom she builds the fighting strength of her navy.
 The exodus of the inhabitants of Miquelon has long been noted. Can ada is striving to build up her great northwest ,and Is offering strong in. ducements to immigrants. The fish ing industry of St Pierre has been a failure for the past two or three years and with this sole means of sustenance taken from them, the descendants of the hardy French ex- plorers have faced actual starvation. Government steps have been unequal to moving the privations endured by its colonists. Recently 100 immi- grants landed at North Sydney from one schooner, in charge of Dr T. A. Brisson, head of the colonization de- partment for the province of Quebec Dr Brisson says that on the next trip 200 more will come and that the end will not be even then, and the population of Miquelon is numbered only by hundreds.
 The hardihood that has made the men of Miquelon famous in romances of the sea will now be employed in new ventures. Nearly all the able bodied men have been promised en- ployment in pioneer railroad con- struction and others will seek home steads in the wheat lands.
 France has made determined ef- forts to maintain this foothold in the west. When the tide of emigration set from the island, she filled up the gap with colonists from the fisher men from her own shores. But with the decline of the fisheries and with the ceaseless struggle for meagre existence growing continually hard CT, the colonists have refused to re- main. t

way companies have announced vol.
untary reduction In coal rates to points
In Minnesota and the Dakotas.
In effect the reduction is an average
cut Of from to 10 per cent in the old
rates and represents deep inroads into
the revenues of the two companies.
The amount is not specified, but the
commission believes that it will be
close to the 100000 mark. as the other
coal carrying roads will have to follow
suit
The rate covers both the hard and
soft products from Duluth and SUI
perior, which are the distributing
points for the state, and while the
hard product is affected soft coal
comes In for the biggest slash. Here
the cut is as much as 40 cents ton,
this being the case at Pipestone, a
point on the Great Northern which is
a heavy factor in making distance tar

At PipestOne the st. Paul road and
practically every other road in the

necessitated. ...

Color and Aroma Of conee.

There are two things which people
imagine are guides to the goodness of
coffee which are really Of no conse.
Quence whatever. They are the color
Of the decoction and the aroma of the
coffee when ground or as it escapes
from the pot in drawing. The color is
due almost entirely to the roasting.
This Is true also Of tea. The finest
cotees and teas, when properly roast
ed and prepared, to give out their
finest favors will color the water but
little. The real essences which give
the flavor have practically no color.
