BANDIT H0LDSUP
A DINNER PARTY
North Dakota Banqueters Are
Forced to Fill Robbers
Pockets.

YORK, N. D., Aug. 26.-Taking
possession of the dining-room in which
fifteen men were seated, an unmasked
robber forced the guests to line up
against wall, their hands held high
in the air, afterwards compelling
them, one by one, to step forward and
deposit their valuables in pile in
front of him.
The "shelling out" process complet-
ed, one of the men was ordered to
place the booty in the robbers pockets
Then, backing slowly to the door, the
bandit made dash into the darkness.
Two shots from his revolver, fired
close to the feet of the diners, accel-
Grated their activity in complying with
his commands.
The banqueters were guests of J
Magnus and E. Thompson of this
place, when they were confronted by
the armed bandit. They at first sup.
posed the affair was a joke, but soor
discovered their mistake. The robbel
secured about hundred dollars and
some valuable jewelry.

BROWN QUITS BASEBALL
Famous Pitcher Decides His Days of
Usefulness are Over.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27.-Mordecai
Brown, deposed manager of the St.
Louis Federals, has quit base ball
according to information given out
today by an officer of the St Louis
Federals.
Brown, it is said, feels that the St.
Louis club has not arranged a salts
factory transfer for him and that his
days as big league pitcher are num-
bered.
President Gilmore of the Federal
league expressed surprise at the re-
port that Mordecai Brown intended to
quit base ball and said the league was
anxious to arrange a satisfactory
trade for him, if he did not care to
remain in St. Louis. Gilmore said
that several Federal league clubs
wanted Brown, among them Brooklyn
and Buffalo, and it was only a question
of time when a trade would be made.

Seas0nable Verse

A peoples voice! we are a people yet.
Tho all men else their nobler dreams
forget,
/ Confuse by brainless mobs and law
less Powers;
Thank Him who isl'd US here, and
roughly set
His Briton in blown seas and storm
ing showers,
We have voice, with which to pay
the debt
Of boundless love and reverence and
regret
To those great men who fought, and
kept it ours.
And keep it ours, O God, from brute
control;
. Statesmen, guard U.S., guard the eye,
the soul
Of Europe, keep our noble England
whole.
And save the one true seed of free
dom sown
Betwixt people and their ancient
throne,
That sober freedom out of which
there springs
Our loyal passion for our temperate
For, saving that, We help to save man.
Till public wrong be chushed into
And drill the raw world for the march
of mind
Till crowds at length be sane and
crowns be just
But wink no more in slothful over
trust.
Remember him who led your hosts;
He babe you guard the sacred coasts.
Your cannons moulder on the sea-
ward wall;
His voice is silent in your council hall
Forever silent; even if they broke
In thunder, silent; yet remember all
He spoke among you, and the Man
who spoke;
Who never sold the truth to serve the
hour,
Nor palter'd with Eternal God for
power;
Who let the turbid streams of rumor
flow
Thro' either babbling world high and
Whose life was work, whose language
rife
With rugged maxims hewn from life;
Who never spoke against foe;
Whose eighty winters freeze with one
rebuke
All great self-seekers trampling on
the right;
Truth-teller was our England's Alfred
nam'd;
Truth-lover was our English Duke;
Whatever record leap to light
He never shall be shamed.
LORD TENNYSON.
