STOLEN MONEY IN A WELL.

Sixteen Hundred Dollars Found on the Property of a Bank Cashier. Homer, Neb., Oct. 17. —In October, 1891, §1,600 were stolen mysteriously from the Homer state bank and never found. H. L. Frisbie, the cashier of the bank, was found the next morning in the bank with his hands tied behind him and himself tied to the door knob. He said two masked men held him up on the str -et the night before and compelled him to let them into the bank, after which they tied him as found. Tuesday the money stolen was found in a glass fruit jar at the bottom of a well on the place on which Frisbie lived at the time of the robbery. The money had been sealed up, but the jar was broken and it was in bad condition. Frisbie is now in Antelope county, Neb., where he is a candidate for county attorney. The money was nearly all in silver and bills. Dakota City, Neb., Oct. 17.—A warrant has been issued in County Judge Hefferman’s court for the arrest of 11. L. Frisbie, a resident of Elgin, this state, and a candidate for county attorney in Antelope county on the independent ticket. He is charged with embezzling $1,500 from the Homer state bank.

At an expense of §25,000,000. voted by the imperial government of Germany, and §12.500,000 by Prussia, the kingdom of Denmark and a part of the German state, Schleswig-Holstein, have been made an island. A few days ago the canal, extending from the Kiel bay in the southwestern limit of the Baltic sea to Brunsbuttel, on the River Elbe, was formally opened. This canal is 61 miles long, 200 feet wide and 23 feet deep and so capable of floating the largest warships. It saves the necessity for ships traversing the Skager Rack and the Cattegnt and going around the deadly Skaw.
