Lou THAYER. PHELPS PERRIN.
The two men are Cashier Reynolds and
youth named Phelps Perrin, VII, teller.
Hurley was already somewhat notorious for
the ''stockades' which have made the Wis
consin lumber regions famous. Charley lie

And this is the way the money was handled,
according to the testimony of those who
handled it and their friends: First, the S39,-
600 was shipped to Il mining and iron com
pany by the bauk at Ashland, due warning
having preceded it, and it consisted of SI0,-
600 in gold, $4,000 in new currency, 81 ,020
in silver change and the remainder in old
currency. Some other money was received
at the same time, SO the total weight of the
gold alone was sixty-two pounds
Three men and small boy are all who
saw or handled the bags after they were de
livered from the train. Mr.. Alexander, the
express agent. wheeled the whole amount
uptown IN his wheelbarrow, stopping awhile
at the Alcazar Variety Theatre-and- Saloon to
Chat with his friends, resting meanwhile
by sitting on his wheelhaIrow Cashier Rey-
nolds met him at the bank, and, aided by a
Ar. Davis, they carried i'll the money. Both
the other gentlemen swear they saw REYNOLDS
lock the vault after the money was in 1t. He
Illtu went 10 MS room, atlt1 iheilce To the
theatre. About midnight he returned and
found the doors OF the vault wide open, with
out sign of violence, and the money gone He
hurried to the theatre and found Perrin, who
promptly produced his key and declared it
had not been out of his possession Mr. Rey-
nolds swore the same as to his.
Investigation was III order Ii soon trans
pired that young Perrin was altogether too
intimate with Hurley ''toughn named L.
". Baker, and had loaned him 81 800; sd
Perrin was arrested. This cew was fur
nshed by Lou Thayer mistress of Baker,
who gave information that he had much more
money than usual But, ii was also proved
that Mr.. Reynolds had some queer acquaInt-
ances, and Perrin proved his honest posses
sion of considerable sums OF money. The peo-
pie say the express wheelbarrow man and the
''toughs" about the saloon know something
about it. Reynolds aud the bank directors
say Perrin is guilty; Perrn's friends are out
spoken in charging guilt on Reynolds. Mean
while the detectives ''have "a theory as
usual, which they Will not reveal, and reck-
less people go far as to say they have a

NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.
Labor the True Hey of Success In Lie
Anew Excellent Maxims.

Labor the True Hey Of Success In LIE
Anew ExeelIent Maxims.
Renewed feelings of ambition are
synonymous with the opening OF the
new year More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and as often are
they alas! broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn OF
new year have been carried through to
its close. Numerous lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to some de-
termination of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the first day of the year
affords for fresh start in the journey of
life. We all desire success; the prob
| lem of life is it's winning. Every per-
son carries in his or her own hand the
key that unlocks either the door of sue
cess or failure.
The true key of success is labor, and
it requires strong, resolute will to turn
it 1t is hard, earnest work, step by
step, that insures success, and never was
this truth more potent than at the
present time. Positions OF trust and
eminence are no longer secured at a
single leap. Men and women have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. Occasionally
there will be an exception, but the in
stances are rare. Success, writer has
said, is the child of confidence and perse-
verance, and never was the meaning OF
a word more clearly defined. The secret
of many successful careers is the
thorough performance of whatever has
been undertaken.
| An excellent maxim is that which
counsels US never to put our hands to
a1y thing into which we can not throw
our whole energies harnessed with the
very best of our endeavors- Persever-
ance is essential to success, since it IS
often achieved only through success
sion of failures. In spite Of our best
efforts, failures are in store for the ma
iority of the race. IL remains, then, for
us all to do the best we can under all
circumstances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by the swift
est feet nor triumph in battle secured
by the strongest arms. 1t is not so much
the possession of swiftness or strength
as it is the right application Of them sy
which success is insured.
In starting out upon the journey Of
life it is well:
First, to obtain every kernel Of knowl-
edge within your reach.
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what they can teach
you. Next, see what your temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies and apply them.
Be sure you have not mistaken your
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to your
chosen work.
Then work hard, earnestly and inces-
sanity.
Don't consider any thing beneath you.
Be patient, honest and pleasant in
manner.
Treat all persons alike, high or low.
Have smile for all, pleasant word
for everybody.
Success may not come at first, but it
will not be far of, and when it does
come it will be the sweeter for its delay.

Christmas time and good cheer are
