MONSTER WARSHIP'

Great Britain Is leading the nations
a merry chase in the contest for naval
supremacy, says the San Francisco
British-American Endeavoring to
catch up with her in quality of war
ships, at least, all the first-class pow
ers are building limitations of the
Dreadnaught. Having allowed them
to get fairly started on their prodi-
gious and costly task, Britain now
allows it to be known that the Dread
naught type of battleship is already
obsolete.
The dispatch says: Great Britain
is constructing new type of battle
ship that will be able to send the huge
Dreadnaught to the bottom as easily
as the Dreadnaught can sink the Russ
Japanese type of ironclad. The new
ship will be called the Foudroyant,
and she will coscs $12, 900, 900, which is
S2,25O,00O more than was expended on
the Dreadnaught.
"The new monster will have no fun
nes, and viii make no smoke. Her
engines VIII ne driven Oy gas, which,
beside taking up less room than steam
engines, will allow a greater speed.
She will be $50 feet long and will
mount IL great 1876 guns, while no
orner battleship now building pro-
vides for guns larger than 10 inch.
These new weapons are the outcome of
years of experimental work that has
been going on in the British arsenals,
and when they get INTO action nothing
now anoau can stand up against them.
"As the Foudroyant will not burn
coal, she will be able to creep up clos
ed to an enemy without being detected
than any other warship except a few
torpedo boats can now do. On a dark
night Tie Foudroyant will be able to

ROBBERS IN GUN BATTLE.

Bank Safe at Dwight Blown; No Booty
Was Secured.
The vault of the First State bank
of Dwight was attacked by safe-blow
ers at late hour one night last week,
who after blowing off the outer door
with nitroglycerin, were frightened
away without securing any booty. A
number of shots were exchanged by
the robbers and citizens of the town
but the former escaped and no clues
to their indemnity or whereabouts can
be found.
The noise of the explosion, which
wrecked theouter door of the safe,
awakened o. H. Friswold, a general
merchant whose establishment is next
door to the bank and in the second
story of which he makes his home. He
Immediately opened fire on the ban
dts, who returned the fire and sent
several bullets through the window.
There was quite a fusillade, which
aroused the populace and frightened
the robbers away, who, in their haste,
left several Of their tools near the
vault.
Posses we're organized and the sur
rounding country was secured, but no
clues could be found and there is lit
tie hope that the yeggmen will be ap-
pretended.

Two little daughters of the murdered

Ing one of the dogs. He said to Ruth
Thomas, one Of the daughters, that If
there was any more trouble over the
dogs he would kill them both. Thorn
as remarked to Howard that lie would
fight four.year-old kid. This angered
Howard very much. The trouble
started in the kitchen. Afterward the
men went outside and commenced
fighting. John Foster, who was near
at hand, separated the men. Howard
went in the house and washed the
blood from his face, while Thomas
went to the we'll to wash of his blood
stains. Howard changed his shirt and
went out and saw Thomas, who was
working on binder. He then re-
turned to the house, wet to his bed
room, procured shot gun and went
outside again. AS Ruth Thomas look
ed out of the window she saw How
ard shoot her father, and saw him
fall over backward. Thomas did not
see Howard coming and was taken by
surprise. After killing Thomas, How
ard went to the barn and attempted
to kill himself. He discharged the gun
and evidently aimed at the heart, but
the charge glanced to one side, break
ing two ribs and making an ugly
wound.
Three men were placed over How
ard as guards and he was brought to
Devils Lake on the Farmers train.
His wounds were not considered very
serious.

q gun, but the warning did not reach
the father in time.
The affair has created much excite

Unpleasant Experience.

During the past year or two,
Mr.. Emery Glunt, stout young
man living near Knobsvllle, has
been afflicted with an open sore
in the internal part of one of his
ears. Last Friday afternoon he
experienced unusual pain and an
uoyance from the ear, and IN the
evening got his mother to make
an examination. When Mrs.
Glunt looked into the ear she dis
covered evidence that maggots
were IN, and she set about trying
to get them out. She was able
to remove few of them, but she
soon found that 1t required some
one with more skill aud appllanc.
es than she, to rid the ear of the
pests, and on Saturday morning,
after having spent night in the
most dreadful misery, Emery
hastened to town and went to
DR.. Mosser. While DR.. Mosser
had run across one case of this
kind before in his practice, 1t IS a
difficult one to handle; but IN a
few minutes he hit upon a plan
by which the ear was completely
rid of the tormentors, and Mr..
Glunt is now suffering little in
convenience from the experience
that nearly set him crazy for the
time.
Mr.. Glunt now recalls that one
day while plowing corn for Char
lie Fore, he felt fly dart into his
sore ear, and 1t was with difficulty
that he got 1t chased away.
