SAFE BLOWN oPEN.-Monday night
burglars entered the X. & NJ. depot
at this place, through a window,
drilled a hole in the safe door, in
which powder was poured and ex-

been terrific, as the whole inside OF
the safe, combination bolts and all
were blown out. 1t looks like the
work of experts. The burglars got
about $50 for their trouble. In one
of the drawers was some $50 that
they overlooked. The thieves COW
cred up their tracks, and there is
no clue for the officials to follow.

DEArH OF RoBERr r. SELBE.-

DEATH OF ROBERT r. SELBE.-
Our community was shocked when
a telegram arrived announcing the
accidental killing of Robert r. Selbe,
on tho Newport News and Missiiss-
ippi Valley Railroad, near Licking
ton, KY, on the night of the 9th inst.
The deceased was the eldest son
of Mr.. John R. Selbe, of this place,
and had been in the employ of this
road, as fireman, but few days.
The accident was caused by the
tender breaking loose from the en-
CINE and throwing the deceased un-
der the train, a part of which passed
over his body, mangling him and
killing him instantly. The deceased
was young man beloved by every
one who knew him, and had he been
allowed to live, would have made
his mark as railroad man, bust
ness for which he seemed cut out
for, and for which he had a particu-
lar liking. His funeral took place
on Saturday last, and was under
charge of the orders of Knights of
Pythias and o. o. A. NJ, of this
city, and was buried by the beauti-
full and impressive ceremonies of
these orders in Lone Oak Cemetery,
TO which place his remains were
followed by the largest funeral pro-
cession ever seen in this place. all
attesting the high esteem in which
Robert was held by our people. To
the sorrowing and mourning rela-
tives we tender our sincerest and
heartfelt sympathy.

AFTER ANY OFFICE.
Roger O. Mills Has His Eye on Several In-


WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Representatiye
Roger Q. Mills announces that he will retire
from Congress at the close of his next term
unless he is elected to succeed Senator
Coke. He was interviewed on the probable
policy OF the next House.
evil the Farmers Alliance candidates
elected i'll the South act with the Demo-
crats?" he was asked.
I" Experience has taught me to rely only
on the straieht-out nominees of the party.
In Arkansas Featherstone said on the stump
that he was as good a Democrat as Gate,
and lie asked for Democratic votes, but il he
had been e.ected it would have been by the
Republicans. 1t was the same way with
Langley, who ran against breckenridge. He
was billed to go into the Republican camp.
In Kansas and Nebraska where the Repub-
licans were defeated, should say the Ali-
ance men were Democrats: cannot tell,
therefore, how those members who have
been elected by coalitions will act. In the
South, however, the great masses of the
Alliance voters are Democrats, and will not
desert that party. The talk of the Alliance
forming third party is absurd. We have
heard talk Of this kind before. but when the
great campaign comes the lines between the
two parties are always tightly drawn"
"Will the Democrats in the next Congress
attempt to legislate in accordance with the
princplesof the Farmers AllianceV
The Democrats in the House in the
Fifty-second Congress will meet the demand
for more money by passing the Silver Free
coinage Bill, which the Senate may or may
not agree to, and which, if it ever reaches
the White House, will probably be vetoed by
President Harrison. That is ali the legsla-
ton which we shall attempt in that line.
1t is idle to talk Of the Sub-Treasury Bill.
The Democratic party can never, as long as
1t exists, which will be as long as it is true
to strict constructionist ideas, indorse such
an unconstitutional scheme. Tilden, in his
letter to the 1roquois Club, stated the prin-
ciple of the Democratic party In one sem
tence: The General Government should
do nothing for the State which the State
can do for itself, and-no Government should
do anything for an individual which he can
do for himself We ought never to get
away from that doctrine. The Democratic
party believes that citizen is able to take
care OF himself aud run his own finances.
We propose to let him do 1t, and keep as far
away from paternalizing as possible.''
Mills is evidently a candidate for every
thing that is in sight. He wants the Speak
erslip or the Chairmanship of the Ways
ard Means Committee. and after that he
will take the Texas Senatorship, il he can
get II, but he will not get the Speakership.
He is too outsp0ken in his free-trade utter

FAILURE OF A PITTsBURG FIRM.
PITTsBURG. Nov. 24.-Thomas Fawcett &
Sons, one of the largest coal-oil firms in the
city, assigned this morning. The liabilities
are estimated at $4,000. The members of
the firm say the assets will exceed this
amount by S15Q000. The senior member of
the firm. Thomas Fawcett. is President of

100000 were entered by the Central Bank

Land Ruling.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-Secretary Noble
has granted the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company's application for the revocation of
the Departmental decision of February 25,
1889, in the suit against James Mackel, who
applied to make a timber culture entry for
land in the Los Angeles (Cal) district.
1t was claimed by him that the land in ques-
ton was excepted from the railroad COM
pany's grant by reason of the fact that it
was embraced within the limits of the
Jurupa Rancho at the date of the grant TO
the railroad. The Secretary took an oppo-
site view, and set aside the Commissioner
decision, which was in favor.o Mackel, at
the same time awarding the land to the rail-
road company.
In the case of the Southern Pacific Com
pany vs.. John A. Barry, another contest
from the Los Angeles Land District, it was
held by the Secretary that Barry's settle
ment on the land in controversy being sub
sequent to the revocation of the indemnity
withdrawal and prior in point Of time to its
selection by the railroad company, has a
priority of right to said land, and this right
will be sustained, provided the claimant be
able to show that lie has subsequently acted
in good faith and in compliance with the pro-
visions of the presumption law.
