ARE DIVIDED INTO CLASSES
New Detective Methods Recognize the
individuality of Those Whose
Speciality Is Crime.

The new system of detecting crimi-
criminal class is composed Of many
classes and sub-classes, and that each
sub-class Is composed at last of indi-
vidual human beings each with a dis
tinct and distinguishing individuality
OF his own. The criminal is an artist
In his W department, and stamps his
individuality on his crime.
II this seems on the face of 1t I'M
likely, it is easy to show that certain
crimes of widely different nature new
err are and never could be committed
by the same criminal. The tramp
who snatches linen from a hedge, or
the area sneak who steals the milk
cans could not be a fraudulent trus-
tee or company promoter; nor could
the fraudulent trustee pick a pocket
nor would he steal the milk cans. The
truth is manifest enough in the case
of crimes SO different, but 1t Is still
true Of crimes much more alike. The
humping sailor with his false tale Of
shipwreck could not change places
with the bogus parson or doctor with
his false tale of having been robbed
or lost his purse. The weicher and
the racecourse thief both carry on
their operations on the turf. but they
never exchange parts; the man who
passes base coin does not pass flash
banknotes; the railway thief is not
q hotel thief and vice versa.

Tries Out New Svsfem-

Fairview.-Adolph Jacobsen, a
farmer living near town, has a unique
method of marketing his melon crop.
He discovered a gang of boys in his
melon patch late at night. Just as
they reached the edge of the patch
and believed themselves safe, he sud
Only appeared on the scene. He was
provided with a flashlight, and with
this he was able to identify the boys.
Much to their surprise he did not
compel them to surrender the melons,
but permitted them to carry them
home. The boys had another surprise
next day, for Jacobsen visited each OF
their homes and forced the payment
for the melons.

butter, meat and potatoes. A little
cake and a few candies may be all
right by way of variety, but you can
not live on such things. You build
a good, solid, plain, square house
that is light, airy, well ventilated, and
easily heated, and you have something
to be satisfied with as long as you
live. But you let some architect coax
you into building some fancy gothic
arrangement, or add a lot of gewgaws
TO an otherwise sensible plan, and you
will have a job of alterations on your
hands before many years.
A study Of the rooms in the present
design will convince anyone that this
plan offers a good deal of comfort for
the amount of money the house will
cost. Commencing with the front hall,
there is a good-looking open stair
lighted both from the top and the
bottom-a feature that you do not al
ways meet with. Then there Is q
closet for coats, and room behind this
and under the main stair for an en-
trance to the cellar from the kitch-
en-. There is a good hall-big enough
without using up a whole lot Of I'M
necessary space.
The living room and dining room
are supposed to occupy the south or
west side of the house, which is the
sunny side, as these rooms are used
the most. When 1t comes to the kitch-
en- and pantry, with a back porch en-
trance, the arrangement is good and
pretty handy. / do not advocate put
ting the kitchen on the north side OF
the house. because l think a kitchen
should be as bright and cheerful as
any other room; but on the other
hand, a northern or eastern room il
cooler than one facing the south or
west, and you have too much heat In
the kitchen anyway.
1t is impossible to have everything
just exactly right; but taking this
house on the whole, the plan is a good
one, and it is not very expensive
With careful management 1t may be
built in most towns for about $4,000.
complete with piping for gas and with
electric wiring. An exceptionally
good manager might get the furnace
put in. and still keep the price within
$4,000.

Work to Cost $4,000,

Sioux Falls.-A western South Da-
kota lumber company has been award
ed the contract to clear the right of
way of the Burlington railroad in the
Black Hills of all underbrush and 9TH
er combustible material which might
be the cause of starting disastrous
forest fires in the adjoining Black
Hills forest reserve. The right of way
of the main line and all branch lines
in the Black Hills will be cleared.
1t is estimate the work will cost an
aggregate of about $500 The com.
pany, which has secured the contract,
will establish camps at different
points and will employ a force of be.
tween 100 and 200 men.

Brakeman Knitted in Fiuht.

Andover.-When the Milwaukee
train on the Harlem branch was leav-
ing this town for the north, Brakeman
NJ. NJ. Parkes discovered three men
trying to beat their way. He threw
them off two or three times and then
stood on the steps to keep them off.
This angered the hobos, and one of
them, H. Smith by name, drew a knife
and attacked the brakeman. Parkes
knocked Smith down and tried to take
the knife away from the man., and re-
celved a number of gashes in the stom-
ach and across the hands. Other train
men came to Parkes' relief and the
hobo fled, but was captured after a
chase Of a mile and a half. Smith was
held to the circuit court under $500
bonds. Parkes was not dangerously
injured.

Twin Brooks Farme: Robbed.

Milbank.-John Driesen, a farmer
living near Twin Brooks, was the VIC
tim of a bold robbery here, his assail-
ants being hoboes. He had arrived
here to take a train for home, and
while waiting for train time went up
town to secure some refreshments.
1t is believed the hoboes caught sight
of his bankroll and followed him.
Soon after he entered a saloon the
hoboes appeared and instantly be-
came engaged in a fake" fight, during
which they attacked Driesen, who had
his coat torn off his back. After the
fight" was over the hoboes disap-
peared and Drieson discovered that
the $50 which he had been carrying
in his pocket had disappeared with
them.

cession. The horses are trained to
follow the leader. One will not go
by another. When one stops all stop.
This often brings the expedition to a
standstill at some of the s~everest
pieces Of upgrade, when the rider
longs to get his animal ten feet
further forward on comfortable foot
ing. At points of rare scenic beauty
the party dismounts, and the guides
loosen the girth-bands on their pa
tient beasts. These rest spots come
where the water falls from great
heights down into well-worn glens.
On the upward course, by the route
we took, there were two such vistas
of rare and exquisite beauty, in the
riot of greens, in moss and foliage.
The later miles of the upward jour-
ney are over snow, and that is where
the guides earn their money. Noun

taken into account. Over plank
bridges of the trail the snow was
lying ten feet above the flooring at
the time of my journey.
Recess Camp in Paradise Valley
is the point where climbing parties
stop for the moo meal. 1t is the end
Of horse foot navigation. There are
huts of refuge, bearing the name Of
John Muir and others, at higher
points, for the more venturesome
souls who aspire to conquer the peak,
but the regular hospitalities cease
with Mr.. Reece. His tents and cab
ms occupy a ridge, as sharp as that
of a gable roof, on which the snow
falls to find much Judgement. 1t be-
comes bare early In the spring. A
clump of scraggly trees have grown
there, though it is seemingly above
the timber line, and these afford some
extra shelter.
The chief occupation of the tour
lists is climbing over the SHOWS for
high point views and then coasting
back down the great hills to the
camp. The ladies gather their skirts
about them and let gravity do the
rest. And the screaming and delight
of the parties as they roll down per-
fectly tremendous slopes lends a
festive spirit to the otherwise lonely
eminence.

Struck by a Train,

Bath.-While running in front Of
an onrushing Milwaukee passenger
train Grace Terevell of Aberdeen was
struck by the train and died within
a few minutes afterwards from the
shock. The girl, who was 10 years Of
age, had been visiting her sister, Miss
Glennie Terevill, yer night here, and
was intending to leave on the pas
senger which killed her. for Aber-
deem. The engineer denies that the
train was signaled to stop here, which
is a flag station, and did not see the
girl until the train struck her, she
having crossed over from the fireman's
side of the engine. The depot agent
here vas standing my the side of the
girl when she attempted to cross the
tracks and her body was thrown
against him when the train struck her.

For economy in space and careful
planning of the rooms to utilize the
last inch to advantage, the house de-
sign here shown Is exceptionally good.
1t is that Of a medium-sized square
built house, "a by 80 feet in ground
plan.
These dimensions may seem rath-
er small to work into seven rooms,
besides a good bathroom, plenty of
closets, and a good lower hall with an
open stairway. Yet these rooms are
as large as the average rooms in new
houses, as houses go at the pres
ent time; and they are a good deal
larger than some. Years ago, rooms
were larger; but that was when build
ing material and labor were very
much cheaper than they are now. A
builder a almost tell the age Of
a house by the size of the rooms. But
there IRE other contributing causes.
One is that we understand building
better, and 1t is not necessary to
build so large to get the same amount
of comfort. AS n lady expressed it,

Campbell county, near the North Da-

down with fruit and the ranch will

apples to sell. Crab apples are also
loaded, and there is a bumper crop Of

Yankton.-An interest coupon on a
bond issued by the city of Yankton
in 1S71-the coupon due January /,
1874-has just been presented for pay
ment by the First National bank of
New York. That bond issue was made
originally to provide a bonus for the
Dakota Southern Railroad company, in
the construction from Sioux City to
Yankton, and which gave this town
it's first railroad.
The bond issue had been twice re-
funded and the county authorities re-
fuse to concede any present liability
on the ancient coupon. 1t has been
nearly 40 years since one of these cou-
pons showed up, previous to the pres
ent request for payment from New
