MINoT SAFE ROBBED OF 5000.

Contractor D. A. Dinnie Visited bv
Crooks.
Burglars entered the office of d. A.
Dinnie at Minot and robbed the safe
Of $500 in currency.
The combination on the safe was
turned, a steel door was unlocked and
the cash box was opened. The safe
was mutilated in no manner. Every.
thing was left in perfect condition.
The burglars must have entered
through the front door of the Office
and must have had key to it, for
this morning 1t was locked as usual.
The only other entrance to the front
Office is through door leading to the
work rooms in the rear and this was
securely bolted from the inside. This
indicates that the burglar entered the
front door, rifled the safe and de.
parted through the front door, locking
It as he went out.
The burglar must have been an
adept at safe combinations and must
have had good supply Of skeleton
keys In order to get into the safe. The
safe Is large Diebold with an inner
door Of steel and steel cash boxes. Mr..
Dinnie himself locked the cash boxes
as well as the inner steel door, and
also turned the combination.
When Mr.. Mclaughlin, the foreman.
returned to the Office, all the doors in
the safe were opened and the cash
drawer was unlocked. The money
which had been placed in the safe
with which to pay the men in Mr.. Din.
MES employ, was gone.

DEN MARK.

The old and antiquated firearms
borne by the veterans of the wars Of
1S4S and 1864 have been distributed
among those venerable heroes, but the
government had too few of them to go

the part of the government and is
highly appreciated not only by the
veterans thus remembered, but also by
the Danish people in general.

Situation at New York Be-

LEAGUES REPRESEN ED.

New York, Oct. 31-Notwithstand-
ing all the rumblings Of discomfort
which have been heard here during
the last three days while the repre-
sentatives of minor baseball league or
CARNATIONS have been in session here,
it is believed there will be no upheav-
al and disintegration IN the ranks Of
the National Association of Profess
sional Baseball Leagues.
The cooler heads, who have had a
good deal to say in the interests of
the national game, have pretty nearly
mastered the situation, and their
counsel will keep the national body in
tact.
Twenty-three of the thirty-SiX
leagues in the association were per

D. O'Brien of Milwaukee, president of
the American Association, submitted
two resolutions which were adopted
at a conference held in Chicago last

that the Pacific Coast, Southern and
Western Leagues be reduced from
Glass A to Glass B organizations, and
that the national board be reduced
from seven to five members Both
resolutions were tabled.

Oriain of Two Familiar Proverbs.

1t was the habit of the great Greek
painter Apelles never to let day pass.
however busy he CHANGED to be, with
out practicing his hand by tracing the
outline of some object, a custom which
has now passed into proverb-"No
day without line" He also made 1t
a rule, when he had finished a canvas.
to exhibit it to the view Of those who
visited his studio, while he himself,
hidden behind the picture, would listen
to their comments. 1t Is said that once
a shoemaker censured him for having
painted pair Of shoes with one latchet
too few. Next day the shoemaker. re-
visiting the studio, saw that the paint
err had corrected the mistake. He then
began to criticise the leg of the por-
trait. upon which Apelles came for
ward and reminded him that shoe
maker should not go beyond the shoes,
a piece of advice which has also crys-
tallized into a proverb, Let the cob
bier stick to his last."-Pliny the Elder.

WABASH AT HARD WORK.

Charlottesville, Oct. 31.-The Wa
bash college football eleven came out
of what promised to be a slump .ast
evening by going through one Of the
hardest scrimmage practices of the
season.
The report of the great form shown
by the Depauw Metnodists here OF
late has alarmed the local athletic
authorities, and the football men
expect to take no chances at being
caught mapping. 1t is claimed that the
Depauwites are stronger than they
have been for five or six years, and
that they expect to put up the battle
of their lives when they line up
against the Little Giants" next Sat
urday.
The members of the scarlet eleven
are especially anxious to keep De-
paw from scoring as many points as
they did against indiana University,
where a total of nine was chalked up.
Although the Greencastle men have
visions of victory, no boasts are going
out from the Presbyterian camp, but
it is an assured fact that the Athen-
ians will not let a single opportunity
pass to run up as many points as pos
sible full game will most likely
be played. consisting of two thirty
five minute halves, in order that
neither can claim disadvantage by
short halves.

SENTIMENT ON THE
PARCELS POST PLAN
1t Is Now Being Secured by
Secretary Haas of the
Commercial Club.
CONGRESS TO CONSIDER 1T.
THE NEW RATE PROPOSED BY
POSTMASTER GENERAL Won
MEYER WOULD BRING ABOUT
DECIDED CHANGES.

Hello, Mr.. Merchant. Please send
out my goods by parcels post
The farmers of Wayne county can
not say this at the present time, but
they hope to: and at the same time the
merchants of the city will bring pres
sure to bear upon Congressman Wat
son to use his aid in bringing about
the condition. At the next, or long
session of congress, Postmaster Gener-
al G. L. Won Meyer will submit a bill
whose clauses will change the rate for
parcels post. making it within the
reach of all people, and of real value to
the country. Parcels post rate in
vogue in Richmond at the present time
are extraordinarily high. it being CA
cents for each four pounds. The mer-
chants of the city do not care to use
the mails for the delivery of goods for
this reason. In addition to this. the
prevailing rate is unjust and not by
any means uniform. 1t costs as much
to send package of any kind from
the Richmond office, to New Paris or
Cambridge City as it does to London,
England.
The new rate, as Postmaster General
Won Meyer has planned, is very cheap
and if adopted Uncle Sam can then
hope to compete with the express com
panies and other public carrier com
panies in this branch Of the business
The rate will be five cents per pound
with charge of two cents additional
for each extra pound.
Postmaster Spekenhier is a believer
in the new system as planned. II
will then be very easy proposition
for any farmer in the county to call UP
his merchant over the telephone, order
a bill of goods, and have it delivered
by Uncle Sans rural mail carriers.
In addition to being a most satisfac
tory service to merchants and farmers
alike, the new system would swell 10
cal postoffice receipts wonderfully
Secretary E. NJ. Haas, Of the CONNER
cial club is now ascertaining the senti
ment of the merchants on the proposed
system. Some united action, in an ap
peal to Congressman Watson is ex
pected.

THE GRASS FENCE.
Thrilling Incident of the Battle Of
Bunker Hill.

Bunker Hill.
The battle of Bunker Hill gave the
occasion for many deeds OF valOr, and
since that day we hold list of names
illuminated in our memory. One of
these names belongs to the Knight OF
Derryheld. Do you remember who he
was, and can you recall the song Of his
bravery? Read of it once more and
have impressed again on your heart
the implicit obedience and perfect
courage Of the New Hampshire farm
ers and their captain, John Moor
When the fortytive men of the little
town of Derryfield, y. H, left their
homes TO fight for the great cause each
knew that no men were ever led by a
Drawer man than their beloved Captain
Moor. His courage had inspired many
of them in the French and Indian war
SO, eagerly, when the alarm came in
1895 they marched with him and his
drummer boy son to Cambridge, where
he was entered a captain in Stark
regiment.
And now comes the battle of Bunker
Hill. Behind a fence, piled thick with
grass, Captain Moor's company lay as
still as death. An order had come from
Colonel Stark that not shot was TO be
fred until the British passed a stake
that was driven a short distance away.
With perfect confidence in themselves
and their captain, the farmers waited
waited motiOnless while that beauti-
full, death dealing pageant of British
warriors swept grandly toward them.
With the GOODNESS and wonderful pre-
cision Of a dress parade the old world
came TO meet the new, the grenadiers
and light infantry marching in single
file twelve feet apart, the artillery add
vanclng more slowly and laundering

A fire, intense. steady, killing, and the
brave march of the Britishers was
checked. A slight recoil. and the Off
GERS, dashing up, again urged the line
forward. Not for one moment did the
grass fence cease it's voice of fire and
shot. One by one the brave grenadiers
and their dashing. gallant officers fell
to the earth. The ranks broke and the
proud host fed before the meager
handful of New Hampshire men. All,

TO INCREASE CIRCULATION.
RideeIy Has a Plan to Relieve the
StrIngency.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 31-Comptroller
Of the Currency Ridgely, with the APP
prevail of Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou, has given national banks
permission to furnish securities other
than government bonds as pledges
against government deposits. thus re-
leasing millions Of Uncle Sans pet
securities to guarantee new bank note
circulation. Under this new ruling,
banks in Chicago and other cities are
soon to swell their note issues by mil
lions Of dollars, which, with a large
output of gold coin from the govern
ment minis and importation of gold
from abroad, will give the business
men Of the country sufficient cash to
meet all needs.
In this connection the Continental
National Bank of Chicago will issue at
once 100000 in new notes and in a
short time another lot of the same
amount, or $1,000,000 in all. The
Commercial National Bank is to issue
new notes to the extent of 81 100000,
and it is expected that the First Ma
tional and sister banks will follow
suit. The total additional note circu-
lation in Chicago alone may reach, it
is said, $10,O00,000 Bankers who
have not communicated with the
comptroller will do so today, when adj
dition announcements will be made.
Other national banks in cities both
large and small, are said to be ready
to take advantage of the governments
proffer, and the aggre gate increase in
note circulation throughout the coun-
try may be $300,O00,000. This will, it
is predicted, mean the utter rout of
the stringency specter
