Joseph St. Arnold Accused Of Re-

Valuable Timepiece.

Sunday evening lest while enjoying a
peaceful repose in berth situated in
his livery stable Office, Bernt Olsenwas
relieved of valuable watch.
1t appears that Mr.. Olson had not
been feeling well throughout the day
and during the latter part Of the after
noon layed down for few minutes rest.
Eventually he fell asleep. During his
his slumbers Joseph StArnold came into
the Office and as it was about time to
water and feed the stock, the caretaker
asked StArnold's assistance, and after
receiving an affirmative reply started
for the stable leaving him in the Office.
Upon his return StArnold had gone.
and it is alleged that with him had gone
Olson's watch.
An officer was at once notified and q
search instituted. It was discovered
that StArnold had gone to the home of
Joseph Bellsire and secured the loan of
$500 putting watch up for security.
Upon learning this the officer called
at the house and was shown q watch
which proved to be that Of Olson's.
When questioned, information was
given to the effect that it was the one
upon which StArnold had received the
loan.
A warrant was procured and StArnold
placed under arrest, Friday he was
given an examination and placed under
bond 81. 900 to appear in the May term
Of court. Being unable to raise that
amount he was taken to L'Anse and
placed in the county Jail to await trial.

A New Marine Device.

The collapsible well or shaft offers
new possibilities in marine exploration.
This is composed of an observing or
operating chamber which is sunk into
the water and heightened out by sue
cessive cylindrical sections bolted to-
gether from the top, each section con-
sisting of a series of rings with a hex-
ible curving. The operating chamber
is fitted with strong glass windows.
and sleeves to enable the diver to ma
nipulate apparatus on the outside of
the shaft In such a tube a diver can
descend to considerable depth, remain
ing in free communication with the
open air and working under ordinary
pressure, and he seems to have within
reach considerable range of such
work as cleaning hulls and exploring
wrecks. Hosting and lighting ap-
paratus can be lowered on the outside.
Such a shaft is likely TO afford new
entertainment at amusement resorts,
and gives a ready means for observing
submarine life and conditions.

Justice to the Private Soldier.

Editor National Tribune: notice in
The National Tribune of April IA an
article from ]. w. E., Hartford, Conn,
making an appeal for the passage of
the bill to put volunteer officers on the
retired list. He says, Not SO much
because of the money that would be
received, but because it would make
roll of honor which would be priced
by the members of the family forever
Now, how is that for "gall?" AS if
the officers were entitled to an extra
pay, when, in fact. they received an
amount larger in proportion than the
soldier in the ranks. l think if anyone
should be retired on pay it is the pri-
vate, and not the officer, as the men in
the ranks did their duty and impaired
their health, while the officer lay in
his quarters and took it easy. Cut il
out, and give us a service pension
