Daring Robbery.

Mrs. Hotchkiss, manager of the
Hotchkiss Millinery Company at Gre
NADIA, was choked to insensibility and
her store robbed by one negro while
another stood guard at the door, at
about 7 o'clock in the evening. The
store is situated on the public square,
right in the heart of the business part
of the town, and considering the hour
and everything, it was one of the most
daring deeds that has occurred for a
long time.

Master Of Many LANGUAGES.

Gen. Picquart, French minister of
war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton,
for, besides wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian,
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge of language is not common
with Frenchmen, even those of educa-
tion, but Gen. Picquart's facility is ex-
planned, perhaps, by the fact thaat he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have
long been noted in France for the
readiness with which they acquire
languages.

May there not be some mistake about
the masses Of the Democratic party
preferring Mr.. Bryan to everybody else?
Might 1t not be that should some Of the
strong Democrats of Congress come
out fatty against the denomination Of
Mr.. Bryan and In favor Of some specific
candidate, 1T would be found that the
rank and file Of the party Is not nearly
so strongly in favor Of the Nebraskan
as Is supposed. The truth OF the mat
ter is that while Democratic Senator's
and members admit that Mr. Bryan will
be the nominee. they do not hesitate to
express the opinion that his nomination
will be unwse. The latter is never
said for publication, however.
With the single exception Of Repre-
