A daring attempt at robbery took place
yesterday afternoon at 3:45, at the Oc
cidental Mills, 4(» First street south, \
when three men tried to pry open the
cash drawer and depart with the pro
ceeds. The attempt was a failure, and
George Gallagher and William Hall, alias
George Ward. etc.. are looked up in rhe
cent. i, charged with robbery in
the first degree.
Ac 3:30 three we.i diessed young men
entered the mill and asked the salesman,
Harry Buckwalter, if they might inspect
the mill. He said yes. and left his visitors
where the mill hands were passing the
strangers almost every minute, to go
down stairs. When he returned the three
were- gathered about the cash drawer,
which had been pried open with a chisel.
He asked what they were doing, and was
told it was none of his business. Calling
for help he seized one of the men, only to
find himself covered with a revolver in
the hands of another, who, he says, was
Gallagher.
Releasing his man, the trio fled down
the railroad tracks, followed by the mill
men, who losi sight of them. Buckwalter
went to Washington avenue and met Pa
trolman John Ryan, and they found the
two men arrested at the pier of the via
duct where Washington avenue goes un
der the Milwaukee tracks. They made
no resistance and were taken to the South
side station, where Gallagher gave the
name of H. S. Gllmore.
At the central station, however, they
■were identified last night by the police,
who say that Hall has served at least
two terms in Stillwater prison.
Gallgher, it is said, is a young man liv
ing in Minneapolis. A brother, Thomas
Gallagher, is a saloonkeeper. Gallagher
received a workhouse sentence some time
ago for being implicated in the robbery
of Hansen's grocery store.
The third man has not been captured.

Skinner proved a rather indifferent wit
ness, but he admitted that his peculations
had covered a period of several years.
In many respect? he showed a remark
ably defective memory, wnich did not co
incide with particulars he was able to
glv • regarding some of the deals. Accord-
Ing to his stoiy he first commenced to
steal by taking little things, which were
turned over to Brady, and whom he
claims threatened to expose him if he did
not keep up the system of stealing. R. E.
Perington, a barber, testified to having
purchased several stones from Brady, and
the testimony of other witnesses was of
the same trend.
LOOK TO NEW JUSTICES.
Minneapolis School Board Will Test
Special School Tax.
Having succeeded in placing the court
house tax on the rolls, City Attorney
Healey Is understood to be preparing to
bring legal proceedings In the interest of
the school board, and will try to have the
supplementary tax levy of nine-tenths of
a mill spread on the rolls.
This act allows school districts exceed
ing 50.000 in population to impose a supple
mentary tax levy not exceeding I 1 ™ mill?
at such times as it may be deemed neces
sary. A law much similar to this one was
declared unconstitutional in the case of
Ramsey county, but this decision does
not satisfy the members of the Minneapo
lis school board. They opine that. -there
will be a new supreme court after the
first of the Fear, and if the tax is spread
on the rolls and an appeal made to the
supreme court another set of judges may
pass upon the ma.tter.

HIS FAVORITE HYMN.
While the Orpheus club was rehearsing

a request came from Mrs. Hobart for a
substitution of the hymn "Nearer My
God to Thee." This was Mr. Hobart's
favorite. It was rehearsed to an adapta
tion by Prof. Wiske, similar to that given
at the funerals of Gen. Grant, Gen. Lo
gan and President G'arfield and at the
dedication of Grant's tomb. The other
i selection will be produced to music by

Resting now from life's endeavor,
From the conflict,
From the fever,
Peacefully lying where ye fell.
Oh, folded hands, farewell, farewell."

Square Theater Opera Co., of Boston, remark to a friend,
sitting in her dressing-room: "Some singers can't sing
well, they say, just after eating heartily, and take only a
light lunch ; but it works just the opposite with me. It's
impossible for me to sing a hard opera without having a
good meal before ; but I often take a
Ripans Tabule
to help digest it. My voice is always clearer and more
powerful when I do,"
fired upon by a party of Boers concealed
on a ***a. Three men were wounded.
