An ANONYMOUS Bully.

Editor Valdez, of the Mexican news
laghan man by any means, and last
Sunday, when his paper was issued,
a long and strong editorial appeared,
endorsing Mr.. French and the entire
ticket of the Young Mems Reform
club. 1t was written in an able, man
ly style, that carried great weight,
and it has had it's effect among all
Mexicans who can read. 1t has
poured shot in the administration
camp too, it seems, for yesterday
morning Mr.. Valdez son was hand
ed letter by Mail Carrier Smith, on
Dolorosa street, addressed to his
father, in a disguised hand-writ-
ing. The letter had never passed
through the postoffice, or, at
least, had never had the stamp
cancelled or the city post
mark put on. Its contents were of the
vilest sort of blackguardism that could
be expressed in even language so ca
pable as the bad Spanish in which it
was written. It's contents are too
filthy for publication and were of a
threatening, bullying tone, which,
however, did not frighten Editor Val
dez one bit. The writer was afraid to
sign his name, but Editor Valdez is
trying to find who he is in order to
punish him for sending obscene mat
ter through the mails in defiance of a
federal statute. Even if the letter
never passed through the pOstOffice,
plOye's hands is just the same.

Undeseryedly Laughed At,

The unthinking are prone to make game of
nervousness. Yet this is a very real and seri-
Gus affiiction, the harassing symptoms of
which are rendered all the more poignant by
ridcule. The stomach is usually responsible
for these symptoms-its weakness and disor-
der find a reflex in the brain, which is the
headquarters of the nervous system. AS a
nerve tonic and tranquillizer, we believe that
not one can be pointed out so effective as Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. In renewing vigor-
Gus digestion, it strikes the key note of recov-
cry of strength and quietude by the nerves.
Headaches, tremors in quiet sleep, abnormal
sensitiveness to unexpected noises-all these
modify and ultimately disappear as the sys-
tenn gains strength from the great tonic. Dys-
pepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, constipation
ana kidney complaints are subdued by the
Bitters. 4-Jan. I'D to 18th.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such re-
markable event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained, is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric
Bitters. So many feel they owe their restora-
ton to health, to the use of the Great Altera-
tive and Tonic. If you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of long
or short standing, you will surely find relief
by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at soc and 81

Mrs Margaret Kinlein and her three chill
dren were burned to death in their home at
Milwaukee, Wis, early in the morning. The
house is a small two story frame building
two doors from Walnut street, and Mrs
kinlein, with her children, occupied the three
rooms on the lower floor. Upstairs an old
man named Lawrence Jung lived with his
son and two daughters, and they were awak-
ened about o'clock by the smell of smoke
which seemed to come IRON the room below.

NERVIEST OF ROBBERS.
A Banker Forced to Sign and Cash
Big Check.


A startlingly bold bank robbery occurred
in Denver, Col, at o'clock in the afternoon.
David II. Moffat, President of the First Ma
tional Bank and also President of the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway, was the victim,
though the loss, $4,000, will fall upon the
bank.
At II O'Clock a we'll dressed man of middle
age walked into Mr. MoffatS office in the Rio
Grande Building and requested an interview
with him.
His first remark was to ask Mr.. Moffat if
he had a blank check about him. Mr.. Moi
fat, supposing this had something to do with
the mans story, sent out for the blank. When
the clerk brought it and had departed
the stranger drew revolver, and
coolly Said: eff you make a move or
speak word [ will kill you on the spot. l
am in desperate circumstances, and you
must give me $21, 900. have counted all
the risks in this undertaking, and have thor
oughly laid my plans If you say word, or
by any act convey to any one any sign, l
will kill you in an instant"
The man had light overcoat over his
arm. His pistol was in the right hand. He
removed the coat from the left to the right
arm and drew the weapon under the folds of
his coat. This precautiOn was taken in Mr..
Moffat's presence, and, without another
word of warning. the bank President and
the robber walked into the large banking
persons doing business and thirty clerks and
employees were behind the ratings.
The two walked to the window of the Pay
ing Teller, Thomas Kelley. The stranger
laid the check down on the counter and Mr..
Moffat nodded to the teller signifyiRg that
it was all right The bold rascal then said
to the Teller: 'FCount it out in big bills,
the larger the better, and one thou
sand in gold" He then requested
Mr.. Moffat to order the Teller to bring the
money to the Presidents private Office. This
Mr.. Moffat did, and at a suggestive nod
from the robber the two men walked back
across the large counting room and entered
the Presidents Office.
Once inside, the stranger again cautioned
Mr.. Moffat at the peril of his life not to give
any warning. He kept up this running talk
for at least ten minutes, until the Teller
appeared with the money. 1t comprised one
ten-thousand- dollar bill, ten one thousand
dollar bills, and $1,000 in gold.
Mr.. Moffat assisted in putting the gold
into bag brought by the Teller for the Dur
pose, and the Teller retired. The robber
then threatened Mr.. Moffat that il he created
a scene within five minutes his comrade, who
was in the coupting-room outside, would kill
him, and then he left, walking out into the
crowded street. Mr.. Moffat did not believe
in the comrade lingering near, and at once
gave the alarm.
The Chief of Police has offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest of the robber and gives
the following description:
THE mans age is thirty-rwo, height five
feet eight inches, swarthy complexion,
weight 40 pounds, heavy brown mustache,
badly sunburned, derby hat light brown
overcoat, wears long linked plated watch
chain"
