Irreverent Berlin Journalist,

A journalist in Berlin has been ex-

explain the meaning of the letter S

quency after the names of German
military officers in the records kept
at the ministry of war and in the kais-
er's military cabinet. He has come to
the following conclusions: One S af-
ter an officers name means that this
particular officer "sauft" drinks; SIS
means that he "sauft stark" drinks
hard); SSS denotes that he ''sauft
sehr stark" Drinks very hard): ssss
means that he "sauft serb stark
schnapps" Drinks very hard
schnapps): finally sSsSS means that
the ''schnapps" is "chlecht" (bad).
Any officer with five SIS is summarily
dismissed by the kaiser.

BOLD WORK OF PIRATES.
Chinese Sea Robbers Captured Three
Launches Off Busy Post.

This tale from Hongkong shows the
Ingenuity and courage of modern Chi
nese pirates: 'Ten men. who ap-
peared to be harmless laborers,
boarded the British steam launch
Fienam just below Wuchow. They
had been on board only a little time
when they suddenly produced revol-
vers, searched and bound the passen-
gers and crew, and took charge of
the vessel. Their captain took the
rudder and deliberately collided,
while going at high speed, with a
larger Chinese launch, the Chanfook.
The robbers were flung to the deck
by the force of the collision, but in
stantly sprang up and leaped on
board the Chanfook.
again the crew and passengers
were carefully searched, robbed and
bound. This done, they were thrown
headlong on the captives lying on the
bottom of the Fienam. The pirate
leader then returned on board the
latter, and quickly wrecked the ma
chinery. The Fenam, helpless and
with her helpless cargo, was cut
adrift. Steaming up in the dark on
the Chanfook, with no lights showing,
the pirates attacked commission
er's armed launch, on board of which
guard Of eight soldiers were watch
ing over a valuable cargo, but this
time they were beaten off.
I'm no wise discouraged, the pi.
rates steered off, and next attacked
and overpowered the launch Saiyik.
When the dawn came the pirates ran
the Chanfook on the beach and made
off unframed. Their nights work
had brought them nearly $5,000."

Buried reasure.

Winona-No more buried treasure
has been found on the farm of the late
Lemuel Hill in the town of Pleasant
Hill in this county, but it is believed
that there is considerably still to be
unearthed. Mr.. Hill, an eccentric old
bachelor, died last fall, and shortly af-
ter, several thousand dollars in cash
and securities was found buried in
the wheat in the granary. Mr.. Hill
had sold little grain for number of
years, and thousands Of bushels had
accumulated. To make room for the
new crops each year, he has shoveled
out hundreds Of bushels on the ground
around the granary, and much Of this
has spoiled. Many bushels Of the
grain under cover has been allowed to
go to waste by becoming old and musty
and not fit for sale.

Good Showinq.


A very material improvement in the
states finances is shown by the report
Of State Treasurer j. H. Block on the
condition Of the treasury at the close
OF business, the 31st. The report shows
a cash balance of $536,499.15, while
the revenue fund shows an overdraft
of $171,295.3O.
While there is an overdraft in the
revenue fund, it is much smaller than
that OF a year ago, being $171,295.30,
as compared with S419,0S3.77 last year.
Another item which shows the relative
condition Of the finances of the state
Is the amount Of auditors warrants
outstanding. On Jan. ], 1905, these
warrants amounted to $1,715,6S3.OS,
which, added to the overdraft of $419,-
OS3.77 in the revenue fund on that date
makes a total deficit Of $2,134,766.85.
There has been during the year a re-
duction of nearly two thirds in the
amount of auditors warrants outstand-
Ing, the amount in the banks yester-
day being $597,502.85. This amount,
added to the revenue fund overdraft as
1T stood yesterday, makes the deficit
S768,79S.15, a reduction Of $1,365, 968.70
in the deficit during the year. AS
these warrants are held by the banks
and draw interest at the rate of or
IA per cent, the saving in the inter-
est charge on this item is a very re-
spectacle sum-
