From the Paris Figaro.
NJ. Breton has persuaded the chamber of
deputies to adopt his motion that the words
"Dieu protege la France" shall not appear
on the coins of the republic. NJ. Breton
does not wish France to be protected by
God. The name itself is offensive to his
philosophical convictions. His conscience as
a freethinker suffers profoundly every time
he is compelled to accept a 20f. piece, Cler-
icalism can no longer be tolerated in numis-
mates.

Dubuque, Sept. 21.-What the police
saw Is one of the clearest cases or
| blackmail that has been pulled OIL
In these parts in many d a came
to light shortly after daylight Friday,
when two men and two women, all
| residents Of Illinois, were arrested from
a boarding house on one OF the Dack
streets at the request of the proprle-
tor of the place.
At police headquarters they all gave
fictitious rames, an elderly man. the
victim, having said that he was James
Oliver, and thai his home was In
Woodbine, III. According to his story,
he and two ONE one OF whom ne
had met before. had arranged thru
the mails, a meeting for q small near
by Illinois town for u certain hour on
Thursday.
Oliver met the ome who gave the
names Of Minnie Brown and Margaret
Jones, at the appointed place, and to-

They proceeded to go out for a stroll
about the city, in the course of which.
one of the festive maidens so worked
her way into h graces Of the easy
MIR. Oliver as to inveigle him into buy
ing for her a handsome tailor-made
gown which she had admired on dis
play in one Of the shop windows along
the street.
Along toward evening the party re-
paired to a hotel in the lower part
of the city, the name of which has
been withheld. They were suddenly
surprised there by a rap on the door
of the apartment in which they were,
and upon divers asking who was
there, no answer was returned.
The Brown woman arose and opened
the door. whereupon a man sprang in
to the apartment a pistol In his hand.

the husband calmly to Mr.. Oliver, "Fll
settle this with you quietly" but the
victim OF the very palpable trick was
not for taking any chances. He called
loudly for the proprietor. the police
were summoned. the whole party was
arrested and a bluff thus called on the
woman's little game.
Color is len to the blackmail theory
by the fact that it was found that
there were no bullets in the pistol car
ried by the man, and that he was after
money i:s apparent from his endeavor
to prevent an outcry at the time of the
supposed discovery.
1t is said that Oliver is a wealthy
farmer living neal Woodbine, and it
is understood that the party have
threatened to expose him in his home
own unless he accedes to their de-
mands.

rolling and surging in place of the pla-

During the past three days the river

face is Uttered with floating DEBRIS.
and the water is of the muddy yellow
color characteristic of the Mississippi
when it begins to go on a rampage.
Unusually heavy rains in h north

rise ir the river. The tributaries are
out of their banks, and the big river
itself promises to come up above the
normal fall stage before the crest OF
the flood has passed.
