Officer After Him.
Rutland, May 81 While the family
Of A. S. Anderson were moving their
household goods from Lincoln avenue TO
the Lawrence house on Washington
street yesterday about $50 in bills,
which Mrs. Anderson had left III q pay
envelope between the springs and mat
tress Of her bed at the Lincoln Avenue
house, was stolen by one Of the truck
men, the family think, the man having
gone into the room after the furniture
sooner than she expected they would.
The money was later recovered, no ar
rest being made.
When Mrs. Anderson missed the
money she Immediately telephoned to
her daughter, who was at the Lewrence
house where the truekmen had gone
with load Of goods. A policeman went
to the house in response to q summons
and the money, with a dollar or two
missing, was found in bureau drawer,
the bills being in crumpled wad. Mrs.
Anderson left them folded smoothly in
the envelope.
A plumber claimed that he had mo-
ticed one Of the truckmen 30 into the
bathroom, remaining there a long time.
IAe pay envelope was found in the bath
room. This led TO the search which re-
suited in the discovery Of the money.
The supposition is that the guilty per-
son got wind Of the fact that an officer
was summoned and Immediately hid
the bills The family decided not to
cause any arrest in view Of the recovery
Of the money.

NeWsof the Northwest
MAIL ORDERS HURT BUSINESS
CATALOGUE HOUSES DRAW MON.
Ely FROM WEST TO HELP
EAST.

Minneapolis, Nov. &C. F. Naegele
Minneapolis, declares that the amount
of money sent out of the Northwest
by patrons of the catalogue houses of
Chicago and other cities is sufficient
to cut quite figure at this time when
there is lack Of currency. He says:
According to their own statements
two of the big mail order houses of
Chicago do an aggregate business of
over $90.000,000 year. This is $780,
600 day for each of the six business
days of the week. The bulk of this is
drawn from section of the country
within a radius of 1000 miles from
Chicago. 1t is stated on what l con-
slider to be authority that IS per cent
OF the business of these two catalogue
houses is drawn from the farmers or
from towns of less than 5000
irrespective of the effect upon the
mercantile business of the smaller
towns, I fully believe that this drain
Is sufficient to be acutely felt. The
man who sends his money away from
home at this time certainly is unpa-
triotic and short-sighted. He can
blame himself in a measure if he can
not get money at the bank
II note that the president of Chi
cago trust company that is named as
the depository of the funds of one of
the big catalogue houses announces
that his institution has accumulated
money to the amount that warrants
return to cash basis at once. The
receipts Of one of these catalogue
houses would be sufficient to help
quite little in putting any bank on
comfortable position.
Without making any special plea
in behalf Of home trade, it seems that
when we are studying ways and means
to keep money in the West that people
who persist in the patronage of foreign
catalogue houses had best keep their
money or spend 1t with local mer-
chants until business conditions be-
come normal"

BANDITS HOLD Up
TOWN AND ROB BANK
SEVEN MEN TERRoRlzE PEOPLE
OF cANovA, s. D.-LEAvE
NO CLUE.
BANK LOOTED OF OVER $1,000

Canova, S. D., Nov. 9.-Driving back
all corners at the points of their re-
volvers, terrorizing the whole town
by indiscriminate firing and even en-
terlng houses to warn the inmates to
stay under cover or be shot down, sew
en- armed bandits held up the entire
population of Canova at o'clock yes
terday morning, robbed the State bank
OF something over $4,000 and escaped
Everything of value was taken from
the bank with the exception of $1,000
which the cashier had put in private
hiding place. The local hotel across
the streets from the bank was literally
riddled with bullets, and the banks
rooms are all but ruined as a result of
the dynamiting of the safe.
There is no clue to the identity Of
the robbers or to the direction in
which they fed.
Held Up Whole Town.
A little before 2 o'clock yesterday
morning some belated citizens were
met in the streets by armed men and
were ordered to hurry at once to their
homes. Lights were burning in some
of the houses and these were entered
by the men, who ordered that all
lights be extinguished and that the in
mates remain where they were, the
orders being backed by fourishing Of
weapons.
About an hour after the first warn
ings were given by the men an explo-
sion from the bank building told the
reason for the mems actions. The
noise of the dynamite aroused the
guests in the hotel, and several of
them rushed into the street. where
they were confronted by the muzzles
of the bandits guns and ordered back
to shelter. The orders were followed
by fusillade of bullets, and the hos
telry was put in a state of siege by
continued firing from the direction of
the bank.
1t was almost daylight before any
one ventured to enter the streets, and
by that time the robbery had been ac-
complished and the men who commit
ted it had disappeared.
Citizens Furnish Funds.
By the time the bank should have
opened this morning 1t was generally
known that all the money in the insti-
tuition, with the exception of 81 1000.
had been taken by the bandits, and
there appeared to be no prospect that
the days business could be carried
on, but as soon as the conditions be.
came known the business men of the
place offered to furnish enough funds
to help the institution through the
day, and with the money thus provided
the bank was opened at the usual time
and had no difficulty in meeting all de-
mands.
The notice of the robbery was sent
throughout the state, but up to late
last night no word had been received
that gave a definite clue to the direc-
ton taken by the robbers.

Early Cigarette Smokers.

Who first introduced cigarettes. into
this country? They were first used in
the streets here by the late Laurence
3Oliphant, says The Reader, and, curl
ously enough, the Introduction of this
method Of smoking to the English peo-
pie came as a result of the Crimean
war
Our officers in Russia, among other
hardships, could not procure tobacco
or cigars, and learned the use of the
cigarette from their French, Italian
ana Turkish allies, and also from their,
stay in Malta and Gibraltar.
introduced into London military and
other clubs, the new custom made
very slow progress. But Its use stead
lily spread from 1870 to 1880, when the
fashion was set by the golden youth OF
those days.
