Robbers Caught in St. Louis.

tFrom The Bismarck Gazette.l
The robbers that had burglarized
the Steel Hardware & Lumber Co.'s
store last Thursday night were cap
tured in st. Louis Saturday evening
while trying to dispose of some of the
stolen goods. The burglars proved to
be the two painters that had been in
this city for several weeks prior to
the robbery.
Mr.. Steel gave a description of the
two painters and a list of the articles
taken to Deputy Sheriff Sam Doss.
Mr.. Doss had a bunch OF circulars
printed with these descriptions and
sent them to the nearby towns and
also to st. Louis. 1t may be added
here that MI. Doss has proven to be
quite a terror to law v~iolators. If
Doss starts after any one, in nine
cases out of ten he will show up with
his man.

The prisoners stated that after CON-
pleting the job they hid behind the
bill -board at the post office until a
freight came along which they rode
to De Soto, and from there went to
st. Louis on No. 10.
The names of the two parties are
Paul Pasco and Edward Dickson.
They we're also wanted in Arkansas,

Dickson is a life -termer, having kill

pulpit into apolitical rostrum, and in
du!ged in a screed of abuse of the ad-

summary of conclusions"
That is to say, we make a COM
mendable show with our buildings and
we give the older pupils the best there
is in education. But we give the little
ones less than they are entitled to.
There are too many of them in a
building and the classes are very
large.
Time was when the public schools
were devoted to the teaching of the
three Rs-all that can be Justly de-
manded from the purses of the tax
payers. Now we have, in addition to
the fundamentals-which are sighted
and skimmingly taught-the courses
properly pertaining to the college and
university, with constantly increasing
expenditure. The little ones-proper-
ly subject to the educational care of
the state-are set in the background
to make room for the flounces and fur
bellows of the school faddists. These
latter have a remedy, however: issue

THE Republican candidate for Presi-
dent very wisely ~refrained from call
ing our prosperity a "Fool's Paradise
during his trip through the smiling
plenteous fields of the Golden West.
A few years ago, when the walls of
homes were papered with mortgages,
when corn was burned for fuel, when
interest rates we're exorbitant and
capital rarely left its vaulO, when the
Mckinley and Dingley and Payne
tariffs were in effect, when the money
of the country could be cornered at
the will of a few buccaneers, when
railroad tracks were covered with
rust, when school houses were few
and go on and on, Republican orators
had the people deceived as to the
source and cause and Whereabouts
of prosperity. Not SO to-day, when
all such conditions have changed and
the peope have become wise to plum
derers and shy of deceivers.
