THE r

Last Thursday evening Sherlr
Miles received word from Flandreau
10 round up a gang of street faklrs,
who had stolen a suit case at that
place. The crowd had got of the
west bound train here in the evening
and were Quartered at the CONNER
the Estelline race meet. Sheriff Miles
went to the hotel and with the asSis-
lance Of the clerk located the room
where the grip was and knocked Oh
the door. When one Of the gang came
TO the door the sheriff told him what
he was after and the grip was prompt
~ handed over with the statement
that il had been taken by one OF the
party by mistake. As the grip had
been disfigured to prevent identified
ton this story did not go with the
sheriff. bat as he had no instructions
to hold the outfit they were allowed
to 90 their way. The grip belonged
to a travelling NAL and had been TAX
en- from the depot at Flandreau, il
contained a number of articles OF
value.
The party consisted of six men and
three wCmen. and was about as tough
a looking gang as we have e e il
some time. They have been making
all the race meets and celebrations
in this part of the country. One or
TWO of them are con%tortionists and
went through here again Saturday
on their way east.

Wheeler intended to begin the Work

trouble with the city over the quality
Of pipe shipped in. The company
claims that this was the quality agreed
upon last spring between themselves
and Mayor Kremer and City Engineer
Wood. Wood has since left the
ountry and Mr.. Kremer is in Mime

longing to contractor Haggart OF

Judge Lands. of Chicago. rendered
a verdict against the Standard Oil
company, giving them the limit of
the law and imposing a fine of s29,
240, 900. Some have remarked that
the people will have to pay the fine as
the company will certainly advance
the price Of oil sufficiently to bring
ia enough to pay the expenses OF the
suit as well as the fine imposed. This
may work but the people will not long
endure such methods and il may hast
en- the enactment of even more strin-
gent laws. The Standard Oil company
better beware of how they deal with
the people at the present time as
there is no disposition to take any
back talk from offenders.

A FAMOUS NEWSPAPER MAN

William h. Curtis, the famous CORE
spondent OF the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, writes a two-column letter for his
paper every day i'm the yea without
intermission. His powers of sustain.
ed work are as great a marvel as his
faculty of always making his mat
ter interesting.
Probably no other newspaper CORE
spondent in the country is read so
regularly and eagerly by SO many
thousands of men and ONE as Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has travelled sever
nj times around the world, visiting
every country under the sur and writ
ing a larger number of brilliant and
interesting letters of travel than were
ever before produced by a single hand.
Many Of these have later been reprint
ed in book form. One of his latest ex-
petitions for the Record Herald was
through Mexico. resulting in a series
of letters as entertaining as those he
wrote a few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, Russia
and Germany will rival in Importance
and interest any of his previous con.
tributions.
Beginning his career in Chicago as
a reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He re-
signed that position to accept a gov
eminent appointment as secretary Of
the South American commission. So
brilliantly did he perform the duties
of this Office that James G. Blaine, Sec
rotary of State, placed him at the head
of the Bureau OF American Republics.
At the worlds fair in Chicago he dis
tinguished himself as the executive
head of the Latin-American depart.
ment. He is a member OF almost
every learned society in Washington
and of many in Europe. II is not
strange that The Record-Heraid prints
Mr.. Curtis letter every day in the nrst
column of the front page. and that
nothing but a Californis earthq9ake
can displace IT from that station Of
honor.

POOLING THE PEOPLE

Parker New Era: Mr.. Crawford and
his ring may be- able to fool some OF
the people part of the time, but they
can't fool all Of the people all OF the
time.
Mr.. Crawford and his ring have
fooled the people by reducing freight
TRANSPORTATION charges Of the railroads
and authorizing the railroad commits
sion TO reduce the passenger fare
they nave fooled the people by making
il a penal offense for corporations to
use the free pass or free frank bribe
they have fooled the people by making
illegal the legislative lobby; they have
fooled the people by enacting a pri-
mary election law; they have fooled
the people by eliminating the corpora
ton from politics and making il al
offence for a corporation to contribute
to campaign funds. They are about 10
fool the people by compelling the cor
porations to pay their just share OF
the taxes.
If they keep on in the good work, il
will be possible for them to continue
TO fool all the people all the time, not
withstanding the dire prophecy OF the
paper that employs the language OF
Abraham Lincoln to express its spite

THREE ~MUSkETEERS

One of the nos popular plays with
all discriminating theatres oers is
The Three Musketeers' and the reas-
on for its popularity is the wonderful
characters shown in this dramatic
masterpiece. Some of them are Queen
Anne of Austria cousort to King Louis
XIII of France, whom the great
churchman and statesman, Richelieu,
has determined to ruin because OF her
coldness toward his advances. This is
the foundation of the plot of the play,
others in the cast are the Three

The Panama Canal as an investment

The practical efficiency of navy
for purposes of the defense of u
coast will naturally be greatly en-.
HANGED when the canal is completed.
The standard estimates OF the cost Of
the canal have been, in round figures,
something less than $500, 000, zoe. Even
If it should cost $500, 0O0, 900, the act.
ual outlay Of the taxpayers Of the
United States would be the interest
charge upon this sum. which at 3 per
cent would be $12, 600 900 a year. The
navy has cost us in round figuers, for
some years past, more than $l00, 000,.
600 every year. 1t is not difficult to
reach the conclusion that a canal will
prove an economical investment from
the standpoint of coast defense. In
other words, We shall be able to save
much more than the interest on the
canal bonds from the naval appropri-
atoms we should be obliged to make
In future il we were not to have the
use OF the canal. Thus, II no revenue
could be expected from the CONNER

would probably pay us well as a de-
