Two Places
Burglarized

Two places of business are burglar
lied early Saturday morning, Gordon
Bros. store and Geo. McAneny's con-
fectionery, both located on West
First street.
The Gordons were the. heavier los
ers, their loss aggregating close 70
three hundred dollars. The bold rel
lows entered their store thru the
rear door, by prying it off its fiimsy
hinges with jimmy. They very
likely did their work while the
heavy electrical storm was going on
at three o'clock in the morning.
They took three fur coats, one OF
them belonging to Geo. MCGEE ana
valued at over hundred dollars.
They took several new suits OF
clothes, and other articles which
cannot yet be listed.
AT McAneny's, they 60 thru the rear
door IN the same manner as Gordon's
place was entered, and they rlneu
the cash register, getting about
twelve dollars. They took all OF the
cigars from the case, tumbled them
on the floor and helped themselves
to some White Beauties, Upham's
Bouuets, and other choice brands,
taking forty or fifty dollars worth in
all.
The work was not by procession
ais, tho the fellows were bold enough
and took their time. Gordon's safe
was full OF diamonds, and jewelry,
and had this been entered the burg
lars would have gotten quite a haul.

Fire In Dolloff
Hotel

The old Dolloff Hotel. which has
been run as a boarding and room
ing house by Mrs. Baker for some
time, caught fire Sunday morning
about 4:3O o'clock in the southeast
part of the house, on the second
floor, and was so badly Quilted that
it is practically worthless. No one
seems to know just how the hre
started. The rfrSt that anyone knew
that there was q fire, was when one
of the boarders discovered the
flames and smoke, and gave the
alarm. Most Of the boarders made
hasty toilet and got out safe by
jumping out on the roof OF the
kitchen when they were conducted
to a place OF safety by ladders.
Two OF the, boarders who are good
sleepers did not hear the commo-
ton and awoke just in time to es-
cape the ravages of the angry
flames, but they got out in very alb
breviated costumes.
The tiremen responded quickly and
did exceedingly well in controlling
the flames in such a maner that the
main structure OF the building IS
still standing.
Mr.. Dolloff carried $4,000 on the
building with the Minot Insurance
Agency, but we understand that
Mrs. Baker did not have any insur-
ance on her furniture, all of which
was lost.
The boarders lost many Of their
valuables, and clothing and some
money. One lost $50 and nearly
all of them lost sums smaller than
that
No one was seriously injured. One
boarder had his hand burned slight
ly, and another suffered slight cut
of the foot.
The boarders saved several trunks
by tossing them out of the windows.

Senses of Insects.

Insects guide themselves in flight al
most entirely and on the ground partly
by means of their faceted eyes. The
anfennae and the buccal sensoTy or
gans cannot help in aerial steering.
Insects perceive the motion of OBJ
jects particularly WE'LL e., the dis
placements of visual images relatively
to the compound eye. They therefore
see better when on the wing than at
rest, for during fight the image of i'm
mobile objects is displaced relatively
to the eye.
Insects distinguish the contours and
forms of objects only more or less in
distinctly.
Insects appreciate the direction and
distance of objects very clearly during
fight by the aid of their compound
eyes They can also appreciate, even
when at rest, the distance of immobile
objects.
Certain insects (bees, bumblebees)
distinguish color clearly and recognize
colors better than forms. Among
others (wasps) the perception of color
appears, on the contrary, to be very
rudimentary.-tsSe Senses of Insects"

The Submarine Crew.

Not until you have gone down in a
submarine and seen the crew at work
can you say you have seen the limit to
which it is possible to drill human
creatures. No crack company of a regi-
ment no fire company in any of our
big cities, not even the engine force on
a man-of-war, is under such discipline
as the crew of a submarine. The navy
department and the men themselves
realize that months are required before
even the most capable group of ten
can be made to work as a unit, perfect
as clockwork. There is no time to
'tbreak I'M crews when once war is de-
clared, and for this reason the subma-
rine service is continually and inceS-
sanity in war practice. Practice runs
in the ordinary sense do not exist.
Each time the boat stands out to sea

The Japs as Jokers.

In the days of the second empire
Baron eros was sent to Japan to de-
mand the opening of certain ports to
French commerce. Among the rest he
named to the Japanese ministers a GER
tain city. The japanese functionaries
smiled so broadly when he preferred
the request that the French ambassa-
dor asked them to tell him what gave
them so much amusement, but instead
of answering the Japanese ministers
said:
''We will open the port in question.
my lord, if France in her turn will
open a certain port to u.s.
"What port is that?' asked the
Frenchman.
1.-THE port of Liverpool"
"But, your excellencies," laughing,
Liverpool is not a French port. but
an English one"
"Yes," answered the Japanese, "and
the port you named is not in Japan.
but in Korea"

id.a Of Thrifty Queen.

The literature of the kitchen some
times sheds a light on the traits of
historical personages. For example,
it is not interesting to read in a
new book of recollections of the origin
of that rather agreeable dish of bread
crumbs, fruit and spices known as
apple charlotte. 1t appears that the
thrifty wife of George III. invented the
pudding in order to use up the weekly
