s'We believe the education Of the
masses to be the best preventive Of
bad government, and therefore favor
Federal assistance where needed in
the work OF eliminating illiteraey
among the population.
THE republican party has always
been distinguished for its courage
and has always been prompt in re-
cognizing any display Of this quality
by its leaders. In the liue Of this
policy, this convention expresses
appreciation Of Speaker Res-d's ac-
ton in standing boldly for the prin-
ciple Of majority rule against the
minority power, in and out Of Con-
gress."
An amendment that created the
only breeze during the two days
session was offered by Isaac Revel
Of Washington and rejected, after n

SO widely from all experience, that,

VAST THE EXPRESS ROBBERi
The Description and Many Circumstance
ca Make the Theory Plausible.

Last Thursday night g. d. bethell'
~ iris city. boarded the NJ, X. X Il,
train az McAlester on his way home'
and very soon his attention was az
tracted by the actions Of q young man
who had come through from lexas'
He seemed i'll at ease, was nervous
talkative and continually moving
about the seat and car. After watch
ing and onversing with the stanger
short time MIR. Bethel became thor
oughly convinced tnat he was making
his escape from the scene Of some DIM
Guilty or crime.
While revolving the case over in his
mind our friend made the discovery
that he was not the only occupant OF
the car who was watching the fellow
and was cognixant of the fact that ne
was a fugitive. The new character IN
the case was green, gawky-looking
party who seemed to be watching
everybody In the car except the young
fellow FIRST alluded to, but who was in
factreceiving nearly all of his attention
The conclusion was speedily reached
that the man was detective and .
conversation confirmed this belisi
though Of course the suggestion was
met with a pointed denial.
While Mr.. Bethel was consid erinf
whether it would not be right anc
proper to telegraph for an otiicer e
board the train at Vinita and arrest
the fugitive, for such he practically
confessed himself to be, Adair wat
passed and it was then too la te.
Who the man was and what he ha'
been guilty of were mysteries. H'
was scarcely Of age, was evidently city
bred and decidedly tough. That h'
was being "shadowed," either by al
officer or a confederate, was also yer.
clear to be seen.
The only crime which has lately
been recorded in Texas was the steal
ing of Sl3, 900 from the Wells Farg'
express office, at Dallas, on the pre-
cedlng Sabbath. Whether this was ~
thief or not can only be surmised, bu
certain il is that the description OF tn
party for whom the express compan
offer a reward ,.and that OF the youn
man in question. are very similar an
give color to the conclusion that h
was really a thiefin big figures.
