6 STORIES OF THE SECRET SERVICE BY Capt. Patrick D. Tyrrelr —— 112f —— —^ STORY No. 3 The Boscobel Koniackers Being an Account of the Capture and Conviction of the Band of Counterfeiters Operating in Wiscon sin in 1878. By CAPTAIN PATRICK D. TYBRELI I [Copyright. 1905, by Marion G. Scheitlin.] Frank W. Oakley, United States mar shal at Madison, was told of my pla.u and his services and those of two cI his most competent deputies were se cured. Warrants were taken out se cretly at Madison. Marshal Oakley said he had frequently heard of Kale Ellis, and that from all he had heard he was a dangerous man to handle. I also sent to Chicago for John McDonald and C. CD. Townsend, the latter a secret serv ice operative. The five men were in structed to come to Boscobel on the same day, and to register at the hotel without letting it be known that they knew me or knew one another. It was about 11 o'clock at night when I smuggled them into my room, where I outlined my plan to them. I did not deem it consistent to send any other man into probable danger of which I myself was afraid, so I planned to taKe the lead in the actual entry of the house. One of the others was to be stationed about 16 feet from each cor ner of the house in such a way that each could command a view of two sides of the building. I calculated that Ellis and Brown might leap from the second-story windows in front when they heard me ascending the stairs. To the men stationed in front I said: , "One of these men who may jump from the second story has sworn to kill on sight any secret service men that tries to take him. His record is such there is no doubt he means what he says. If these men jump from the windows they will be armed and will kill any men in their path. Either you or they will be killed. It will be bet- MALCOLM ROHINSON. ter if it be they. Shoot them before they strike the ground if you want to save your own lives." * * • The nearest neighbors of the Robin eons had a child that was not expected to live through the night on which we planned the raid. Mrs. Robinson, al though the wife of one criminal and the associate of others, retained the ma ternal solicitude for any child that was sick and had made herself useful at the house of her neighbors. She had been at the bedside of the little one during the day and rettirned only in time to prepare supper for her husband and the other "koniackers." I knew of her interest in the condition of the sick child, and decided to turn it to otir own advantage. At a quarter to two in the morning of April lfi. 1875, we left the hotel and repaired to the Robinson home in such a manner as not to at tract attention from any belated towns man in case we met one. After reaching the premises no word was spoken and none was necessary, u.; final ai u detailed instructions hail been received by the officers before we left the hotel covering any possible emergency that might arise. The night was very dark and u high wind blew, Biiitiug our purpose well. With each man at bis station, I rapped at the front door softly, one of th'i deputy marshals who was recotn mended for his coolness and bravery at my back. There was no answer and I knocked again, lightly, as I wished to avoid waking the men Bleeping up stairs. Still there was no response, and the third time I rapped harder. Koblnson , both of the hiisftinds then being in priKun for counterfeiting offense*. [To Uu Co;. Ut-uoUJ STATUE OF M'CLELLAN. Equestrlnn Figure of the General to 1 Adorn the City of Wash ington. Washington.—This city of monu ments and statues Is to be graced by a line equestrian statue of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, which in now be j ing constructed by Frederick MacMon nies, whose fountain at the World's Columbian Exposition won him world wide fame, it is expected that the j j statue will be ready for unveiling on , October 18. The commission in charge i of the work is composed of the secre- j tary of war, Senator Wetmore, of i Rhode Island, and Gen. Horatio C. } King, of Brooklyn. The statue is the i ! outcome of the efforts and subscrip- j tions of the Society of the Army of the —II N |B|P STATI'K OK 7.1 A.I. CKN. (JLOKuE J. ! M'CLBLLAN.

McClellan wore | at the time, in which the statute de-1 piets him, when he was in command of ; the Army ot the Potomac. Various other works of MacMonnies i of a military character are to be found throughout the country. He designed I the army and navy groups for the sol-I j diers' and sailors' monument at Indi- j ; anapolis; the figure of Victory in the ! battle monument of West Point; and j j of his other works in this country may j | be mentioned the magnificent bronze j doors and statue of Shakespeare in the ! library of congress; the Nathan Hale j monument in City Hall park, Newl York, and the fountain at tho world's . j fair at Chicago, to which reference has ! already been made. NEW CHIEF OF STAFF. ! Brig. Gen. Bell Wins Place at Head j of Army by Aggressive Mil itary Policy. Washington.—Brig. Gen. J.

In 1901 he was named as a brigadier gen eral of regulars. Gen. Bell's services as head of the war colleges at Fort Leavenworth have won for him recognition from the presi-1 and secretary of war, and it is said that liis aggressiveness and belief in maneuvers and outdoor work for troops led to his appointment to the important post to which he has been appointed. "Social Democrats" Invade England. Certain* Russian immigrants reach iag England without money have been passed by the immigration authori ties, although they should have been rejected under tho new aliens act. They were passed win n they declared themselves to be sociul democrats, and by replying to the following question; "Are the operations of the society di rected against all governments, or ; only against the Russian govern- J ment?" "Only against Russia." "Ad- j mitted." The Immigration authorities ; now find that they are overwhelmed \ wi'h Impoverished social democrats ; from Russia. In fact, nobody but so ijal democrats »eema to bo etui- j Hinting from Russia just now. SCRAI tJ OJ SCIENCE. The fiftieth iinnlversnry of the Inven tion of the aniline dye Is to be celebrated by the world of sclem e by the placingo! A portrait of the Inventor, Dr. Perkln, In the National Portrait gallery, and a bust in the rooms of the Chemical so ciety at Burlington House, Ixjndon. Gas is the fundamental basis of the sense of smell, says Dr. John Aitken, F. R. S., according to the Scieiitifio American. Berthelot says thatone hun dredth of a quadrilllonth of a gram of musk can be detected by the nose. Dr. Ait.ken has found that of 24 odorous substances investigated not one gave off its perfume in solid particles; nothing but gases and vapors escaped from any of them. Two distinct organizations, both com posed of men eminent in science, are studying the sun with extraordinary care. One, the Solar Commission, es tablished in 1903, is devoting its re searches to the effect of the sun on the weather and climatic changes of the earth. The other, the Solar Union, formed in 1904, is endeavoring to ascer tain more than is now known about the sun itself. Both are European associa tions. Prof. Spring, a Belgian who has been studying the causes of color in water, under various conditions, says that if water otherwise entirely pure contains one part of every 10,000,000 of ferric hydrate, an iron compound, it will ap pear green, where the depth is consid erable. With less than one part of fer ric hydrate in every 20,000,000 it will be blue. But less thai: one part of vege table mold or humus matter in every 40,000,000 will make the blue tint pf water disappear. OVER THE OCEAN. A new prize of SIO,OOO is offered In France for the invention of a dirigible balloon. Sir Patrick Keith Murray has pre sented to the British nation an old cushion on which the crown of Scot land rested, and it has been placed in the jewel room at Edinburgh castle. The Ufflzi gallery, Florence, has ac quired a collection of 11,000 portraits, etchings, engravings and copper plates, representing celebrated historical per 6onages, monarchs, popes and artists. A commission, after inquiring into the allegation that there is a tobacco monopoly in Austria, grants that a combines does exist and recommends that the commonwealth take charge of the industry. The Institute of Archaeology of the University of Liverpool has dispatched an expedition to make explorations and excavations in the vicinity of Esna, in upper Egypt. The funds have been privately subscribed by Liverpool citi zens. The British committee on naval de signs has recommended that no more small protected cruisers be built. The war fleet of the future is to consist of battleships and armored cruisers, the torpedo floatillas and submarines form ing separate self-contained forces. BITS BY THE WAY. Many raindrops are hollow. The Cape Colony earthworm is six feet long. Miners commit suicide least of all workingmen. Queen Elizabeth had 3004 dressea when she died. One mahogany tree, when cut into logs, will sometimes fetch as much aa SIO,OOO. A genuine cashmere shawl requires ten goats' fleece and three men's work for six months. f3.ES INDIGESTION | When what you eat makes you uncomfortable it is doing you very little good beyond barely keeping you alive. Digestive tablets are worse than useless, for they will in time deprive the stomach of all power to digest food. The stomach must be toned up—strengthened. The herb tonic-laxative, Lane's Family Medicine will do the work quickly and pleas antly. lIOK HEADASHE I ; —1 Positively cured by f* A DTr*s 0 th, se l" ml 0 Pills « I #sftllL 3 i 0 Tiicy also relieve Dla- E tress trorn Dyspepsia, In- FTLE I digestion and Too Hearty \j R* K?
