Herbert Schaffer shot by a Burglar
in Jacobs' Store.
No Clue to the Perpetrator.
Herbert Schaffer, a young man who
lias been clerking for Mr. Jacobs for some
time and sleeping: in the back part of the
store, was aroused by a noise in the
Iront part of the store on last Tuesday
morning about 4 o'olock and discovered
a man at work at the safe. Scliaffer.flred
at the robber at once, hitting the coun­
ter near him but evidently not touching
the man. The burglar returned the fire
sending a bullet through the young
man's body within two inches of hia
heart, entering near the left nipple and
coming out at the back. The shooting
was at short range as Schaffer's clothiug
was burned by the powder. After firing
the fatal shot the robber made his escape
withont arousing any other person in the
neighborhood. Dan. Heffner who sleeps
over the store heard a crash of glass and
some one groaning and going down stairs
discovered^ Schaffer on the floor in his
blood. He was removed to the residence
of Henry Jacobs and cared for by Dr.
Johnson. He recovered consciousness
and is able to talk but is very weak and
in a critical condition. He will probably
remain in about the same condition for
four or five days, when there will be a
change for the better or worse. Mrs. W.
J. Fuller, of this city, is aunt of the in­
jured boy, and Geo. Schessler, of Lans-
ing, is his uncle. Schaffer is nearly 21
years of age. The burglar effected an
entrance by unlocking the front door.
When discovered he had opened the sate
by mastering the combination. A chair
was thrown through one of the back win
dows, whether as a part of the scuffle, or
to open an exit for the robbor, is uncer­
tain. Schaffer is unable to give the cir­
cumstances of the affair and cannot give
a description of the man. There seems
to be no clue by which to bring the vil­
lain to justice.
THE INSPECTION.
Company was officially inspected at
Armory Hall last Wednesday evening by
Inspector Gen. Brandt. Fifty four men
were present and took part in the inspec­
tion and drill, which was very thorough.
The Inspector was well pleased with the
appealance and size of th? company, and
complimented them upon their dicipline
and efficiency. The need of new muskets
was one of the yery apparent features of
the drill. The boys deserve and should
have them. Gen. Brandt said the com­
pany was the best one he had so far in
spected, and that their muskets were
clean and well kept for their kind. The
hall was filled with spectators, to witness
the drill, and were well pleased with it.
After the inspection Gen. Brandt and the
•officers of the company, together with a
few friends, partook of a banouet at
3Torden HalL
The company, which has 56 members,
is larger than it has ever been, and the
boys are giving close attention to drill,
intending to turn out in fine shape to the
encampment at Lake City.
BURGLARY.
The house of N. Kingsley was entered
last Friday night and a gold watch worth
$100 and five dollars in money secured
by burglars. Entrance to the house was
-obtained by unlocking the front door,
the key being turned by means of nip
pers. In the vestible several matches
were lighted and the parties found their
way through the din in? room into the
sleeping room, carried Mr. Kingsley's
pants and vest to the vestible where they
appropriated the contents and departed
without arousing any one in the house.
ROBBERY.
As Gulick Hestad, of Swenningsen's
jewelry store, was going home Monday
night about eleven o'clock, he encoun
tered two men between D. B. Smith's of­
fice and the Fleck House who possessed
themselves of his watch and chain. On
account of the suddenness of the affair
and and the darkness he was able to
make no defense and can give no de­
scription of his assailants.
REPUBLICAN CLUB.
A meeting of the Republican Club will
be held at the Auditor's office, in Court
House, Monday evening, May 21, at 8
o'clock. Mr. Kingsley will address the
club on the issues of the day The meet­
ing will be of profit to all interested in
good government and a large attendance
is desired. By order of Executive Com.
CONVENTIONS are the order of the day
just now and the leaders for the fall cam­
paign are being determined on. The del­
egates selected to the state and district
conventions are divided between Blaine
and Gresham. The Republicans of the
state cannot forget the Plumed Knight
and most of them would vote for him
with pleasure, but wish to see the man
nominated whom the party considers the
best and strongest. The state convention
meets to-day.
In the First District Winona County
sends an unpledged delegation to Roches­
ter headed by Thos. Simpson. From one
half to one third if the delegates are said
to fayor Mark Dunnell Houston Coun­
ty sends a delegation to Rochester bead­
ed by James O'Brien. They arc said to
to be for Dunnell. Fillmore County will
support C. H. Conky. Freeborn County
sends an uninstructed delegation headed
by John A. Lovely. The convention in
Owatonna yesterday selected the follow
ing delegates to the national convention:
James O'Brien of Houston and Geo.
Edgerton of Dodge. Alternates O. Ayers
of Mower and A. J. Greer of Wabasha.
Blaine was the favorite, but the delega­
tion was uninstructed.
The convention passed resolutions
favoring a reduction of the tariff and
asking that lumber, salt and sugar be
placed on the free list.
THE druggists of Dubuque, Iowa, met
on tbe 10th and resolved not to take out
permits to sell liquor under the new iron
clad law. It is thought that druggists
generally through the State will refuse to
take.out permits, thus confining the sale
of alcoholic liquors to wholesale liquor
houses and saloons.
REPRESENTATIVE SCOTT, of Penn.
gave the Randal tariff bill a genuine rak­
ing over last Friday, Scott it is said is a
sort of mouth piece for Cleveland,
and his remarks supposed to voice the
sentiments of the administration. Ran
dal will reply to Scott this week.

Starting a balky Morse.
Boston.Post: I passed a considerable
block of street cars recently to come up­
on the cause ot it. a balky horse, at the
very moment when a bystander stepped
out into the roadway,
and after a moments
manipulation, set the animal going as if
perfectly content with his work. The
success of the operation was so immediate
that I ventured to ask how it was done.
The man did not have the horsey look
which usually accmpames the possesion
of stable secrets, was evidently an ama­
teur, and did not hesitate to tell me at
once that he simply placed under the
horse's tongue a chip of wood that be
picked from the sidewalk. "Anything
else would have done as well," he went
on to explain, "for it is only necessary
to divert the animal's attention for a mo­
ment from his fancied grievences. I only
changed the current of his thoughts. Tou
might have argued with him all day, and
he would still have held to bis opinion
