GLEM0ivE OFFICERS
ARE MODEST

On account Of the innate modesty OF
OMcer White, whom the Monitor man
interviewed last Wednesday morning
about nine o'clock In front Of Lowe
Rrothers Hardware store, we are un-
able to get the whole story Of the Tay-
lor residence robbery which occurred
that same morning about o'clock.
Although the officer was too modest
to say 50, he was responsible for the
arrest Of the alleged culprit, having
arrested him less than two hours after
the commission Of his crime on a
maagre description furnished by NJ.
w. O'Brien, one Of the two complain
ing witnesses. After being positively
identified by one of the men, the al
legged burglar, Frank Miller, was ar
rested by both Officers White and
Austin. and on being taken to the
county Jail and searched was found to
have upon his person all the property
that was alleged to have been stolen.
Il is not thought that the shining
object the burglar carried in his hand
while searching the room was pistol
as no such object was found upon
him..
Had it not been that both O'Brien
and Sheen decided to allow the thief
to get away without suspecting that
he had been discovered it is safe to
state that the capture would not have
been made, as the man, thinking that
his victims were still wrapped in the
arms OF Morpheus, walked boldly into
the arms Of Officer White.
At the preliminary hearing which
was held before Justice Tom Kean
Wednesday afternoon, Miller was put
under $1,000 bonds. which being unr
able to furnish. he was bound over to
the District Court for trial at the next
term which opens on Nov. 4th.

London, Oct. 10.-Antwerp and the
forts surrounding the city are now in
complete possession OF the Germans,
but part OF the Belgian army has es-
capped.
1t took the Germans just IL days to
capture the strongest fortress in the
world.
The fall Of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful forts are no
match for the colossal howitzers
which the invaders have. successfully
employed against every fortified place
that stood In their way. These huge
guns open gaps through which the be-
siegers find an entrance for their
jAeld artillery and infantry.
The Germans. after shelling the city
itself tor many hours, making It IN
tenable. entered the town through the
suburb Of Bsrcham to the east. They
had made breach In the outer line
of forts. some Of which were destroy
ed BY their big guns, and others blown
up by the defenders. The Germans
followed similar plans in dealing with
the inner belt Of forts and at the
same time threw shells into the city,
which set afire many places. The In
ner forts, like those further out, soon
snccumbed to the enormous shells,
and on Friday morning several OF
these. forts had fallen, opening the
way for the Germans into tha citv.

Mr.. Alley is known as the private

most national notoriety.
The object Of his mission, while no
doubt OF political nature, could not
be definitely learned before the hour

THE CHEROKEE 1. TRIBE.

The Cherokee Nation last week,
under the laws of the United States,
abolished Its tribal government and
became citizens Of tho United States.
This ends the separate existence Of
the, most numerous and prosperous
Tribe Of North American Indians.
So far as the white mans knowl-
edge goes, there Is no record OF their
sayagery. When the white race, came
into contact with them, they lived
inEhouses, had an organized govern
ment and got their living from pas
toral pursuits. They were farmers
first and fighters when occasion re-
guired fighters. During the Revo.
luton they favored the British. In
the Civil War they were divided be-
tween the North;and South. A Cher
ckee served on the staff OF General
Grant. Senator Owen, Of Oklahoma,
has Cherokee blood in his veins. He
and Others of the West are proud Of
that ancestry. III
The Cherokees established repre-.
sentative government, for themselves
while still inhabiting the South ss4
years age. When they. we're removed
togthe Indian territory they renewed
that government and have since
maintained a nation within a nation.
Now they lay, aside the tribal obifga-
ton TO become citizens of tho United
States pittsburgh Dispatch. y

MINNESOTA PRIMARY RESULTS,

MINNESOTA PRIMARY RESULTS.
On June 1G thevoters orNlnnesota
engaged in a statewide general pri-
mary for the nomination OF candi-
oates.
Tie notable feature of this pri-
mary was the preponderantc of Re-
publican votes, and the practical dis
appearance ofProgressive votes.
The Republican candidates for gov
ernor polled 1888, 097 votes, whileithe
Progressive party'stotal vote was but
2,S74.
The Democratic candidates for
governor received but 42,755 votes.
In the primary of 1912 the Pro-
grcssive party polled 33,455 votes. I
These figures are significant IN
their emphasis o.. a trend which has
gone steadily forward for many
months; and which has been exem-
plified in every test that has been
made. The Progrcssivcs. believing
that that party has served its mis-
sion by infuslng the spirit Of mod.
ernity into a party the basic princi=
pies of which are as one with their
own, and realizing that the Demo
cratic party, now in power, is tho
enemy and would-bc destroyer Of
those principles to the great dctri-
mcnt Of the country, seek tho means
of defending and restoring them
through rciuyenated Republican
party. These voters belong to that
class hundreds of thousands OF whom
voted for Roosevelt, the man, with

And now that the battle of personal
titles with its enforced bitterness is
two years behind them, they prefer
to do their work under tho. Republic
