INels Jacobson, Harvest Hand,
Is Divested of Clothing and
Money.
Coatless, shoeless, minus his collar
and necktie and short $82 in cash,
Nels Jacobson awoke from a three
hours' slumber in an alley leading off
of East Seventh street at 4 o'clock
yesterday morning. Jacobson Is still
looking for the articles from which
he was separated, and has invoked the
aid of the police in the search.
Jacobson has been in this country
but a short time, and his desire to
ccc the city by gaslight led him into
several saloons Saturday night. Dur
ing his rounds of the various drink
ing emporiums he became acauainted
with a number of men. who were in
clined to be sociable so long as he
bought drinks, and shortly after mid
night Jacobson became "groggy" and
Bought out a soft spot in a convenient
alley, where he wfent to sleee'.
When Jacobson was finally aroused
everything led to the belief that he
had slept soundly. Something like $82
in cash, which he had on his person
when he went to sleep, had disap
peared, and along with the cash had
gone his coat, shoes and a number of
other articles of wearing apparel. The
person or persons who had relieved
him of his money even took his col
lar and tie; in fact, about the only
thing they failed to relieve him of was
the effect of the previous night's dis
sipation, which he still had with him
when he entered a Wabasha street sa
loon fo inquire the way to the police
station, where he reported his mis
fortune.
"This is pretty hard luck," said Ja
cobson, as he surveyed the image of
what was left of him in the saloon
mirro, "but I guess I'm lucky they
didn't take my socks."
"Cheer up, old man, and have a
drink," said a bystander. "One more
won't hurt you."
"Well, I'll take a chance," replied
Jacobson, as he poured out a drink
which made the bartender look said.
"I guess there isn't anything more they
can get from me."
Jacobson reached St. Paul Saturday
from Bismarck, N. D., where he has
been working in the harvest fields. He
had $100 when he reached town, the
savings of three months.
"I got acquainted with some fellows
and spent $18 in buying drinks for
them," said Jacobson. "The last thing
I remember they were drinking with
- me in some saloon, but what saloon
I don't know. I think they must have
drugged me and then robbed me of
my money and clothes."

RUSSIA HESITATES
TO ATTACK JAPAN
Eastern Diplomats Think Czar Fears
Other Powers.
PEKIN, July 19.—According to diplo
mats here, the greatest factor in the
Eastern situation is the increasing
danger of war between Russia and
Japan. They believe it is becoming
plain that Russia is willing to fight
Japan if convinced that no other power
will assist her. The Russians are con
fident of their-ability to easily defeat
Japan and are said to be anxious to
settle definitely her position in Eastern
politics and end her ambition to op
pose Russia's progress in Manchuria.
The belief is attributed to the Japan
ese that the Russian policy is to at
tempt to placate Great Britain and
America and provoke Japan into be
ginning hostilities. They regard Rus
sia's consent to opening ports in Man
churia, the czar's promised visit to
England, and the occupation of the
Corean border as parts of that policy.
Russia's activity on the Yalu river is
more irritating to Japan than the re
tention of Manchuria, and all Japan
ese officials in China speak of war as a
probability.

CHOOSES COFFIN FOR
HER 01 FUNERAL
Missoula Woman Does a Bit of
Shopping Not of the Usual
Kind.
Special to The Globe.
MISSOULA, Mont., July 19.—Most
persons have a horror of coffins, but
not so Mrs. Frank Henkle, living a
short distance from this city. When she
appeared at a local undertaker's today
and asked to be shown the stock she
was as unconcerned as if she were go
ing in to purchase a spool of thread.
"You see," said she, directing her re
marks to the undertaker, "my doctor
has told me that I have heart disease
and consumption and that I am likely
to die at any moment. This being
true, I desire to pick out for myself
a coffin in which I am to be buried."
Mrs. Henkle was accompanied by her
husband, who apparently saw nothing
out of the ordinary in helping his wife
to select her own coffn.
"How do you like this one, dear?"
he asked, directing the attention of the
woman to a rich mahogany casket
with silver trimmings.
"It is very pretty," replied the
woman, "but the price is too high.
Goodness knows that illness is always
expensive, and I am sure you do not
want to add to the expense by making
me take a coffin asTich as that one."
"Well, suit yourself; you are the per
son who will have to use it," said, the
husband, as he smiled at his wife and
patted her on the shoulder.
Mr. and Mrs. Henkle looked over all
the coffins In the shop and finally pick
ed out one that the woman thought
would suit her.
"The doctor tells me I will die in
side of two months," said the woman
as she prepared to depart, "so I want
you to save this coffin (laying her
hands on the one she had picked out)
for me."
The undertaker promised that he
would save it.

ROME, July 20, 3:35 a. m.—Now
that the supreme last moment In the
memorable life and reign of Pope Leo
Is expected almost hourly, the contrast
between the quiet within, and the ex
citement without the Vatican is most
striking. In the vast palace there is a
hushed calm of expectation, the only
apparent wakeful souls being the Swiss
guards. The doctors and attendants
of the dying pontiff speak in whispers
and move noiselessly about, so that
from the sick room no sound comes
except the heavy breathing of the un
conscious pope or his occasional cries
for Pio Centra and Dr. Lapponl. His
tone is one of fear, as though he felt

SIOUX PALLS, S. D., July 19.—Aft
er having become the victim of two
short-change men, Mrs. Young, post
mistress at Running Water, turned de
tective and traced the rascals to Tyn
dall. Had it not been for the fact that
the local officers were not certain as to
their jurisdiction in the case, believing
that It was a matter for the 4Jnited
States authorities, as it involved pos
tal funds, the men would have been
captured.
A stranger entered the postofflce
while Mrs. Young was alone. He pur
chased a stamp, and, after the usual
fruitless search in his pockets for pen
nies, tendered Mrs. Young a $20 bill.
He had received his change, when he
suddenly made the discovery that he
had a small amount of change and
asked her to give him back the bill
and take the change. He laid a $10
bill on the window, and after taking
his twenty, commenced to count out
the silver change Mrs. Young had
given him, ostensibly for the purpose
of giving it back to her.
Just ot this juncture another stran
ger, who proved to be a confederate,
entered the postofflce and asked Mrs.
Young for information about a certain
money order office. The name was
an unfamiliar one, and Mrs. Young
was compelled to consult a postal
guide, finding that there was no such
postofflce in the state.
When she turned to where the stamp
purchaser had stood she discovered
that he had disappeared, together with
his own money and $10 of Uncle Sam's
postal funds.
She determined to do a little detect
ive work on her own account, and
found the crooks at Tyndall, where a
picnic of the Woodmen was being
held. She readily recognized the men,
who also got a glimpse of her. The
officer who accompanied her declined
to arrest the crooks until he had con
sulted attorneys as to his jurisdiction,
and, of course, when he returned the
two swindlers had made their escape.
This is the first time that more than
one man has attempted to victimise
South Dakotans with this game, and
it is thought the two men may attempt
to work he same scheme on officials
at other smal postoffices.
