Righwarmen Hold UP Chicago Mali Wagon

Highwaymen Hold up a Chicago Mail Wagon
CHICAGO, Dec. f5.- Five daring highway
men tonight held up the United States
mail wagon and at the revolver's point
forced the driver to throw out several
sacks. The wagon was then sent on its
journey, the driver being threatened with
instant death if he made an out cry o r
stopped. So complete was the surprise
effected by the banditti that the driver
failed TO utilize the services of large bull
dog beside him on the seat. Near
midnight the stolen mail JACKS. slit
were found on Superior street, in the north
division of the city, fully three miles from
the scene of the robbery. AT that hour
every available man of the city detective
force and postofflce inspectors staff was
out endeavoring to obtain clew to the
identity of the highwaymen or their where
aoouts The wagon was on it's way to the
main postoffice with mail from the stock
yards and the southwestern stations.
Driver Creighton drove down Blue
Island avenue to Halstead street
and then turned east on Mather He was
halfway to Despiaines when five men
sprang from the side walk. One seized the
horses by the reins while the others COW
ared Creighton with revolvers and COM
LANDED him to keep quiet. The team was
theL led TO an alley and while one of the
men kept Creighton covered, the others
forced open the door of the wagon and
hastily selecting the registry pouches from
others made off thaough the alley.
Creighton SIS guard kept him covered
for five minutes and then left him.
The thoroughly frightened driver drove as
rapidly as possible to the main postoffice,
where he reported the affair. An inven-
tory was made of the contents of the wa
gon, when it was found two registered
mail pouches from the stock yards stations
and that from Blue Island station were
missing

TAXES IN IDAHO.
The Decision of the Supreme
Court in the Equalization Cases
Causes Much COmment-Pocatello Disappoint
ed, Fearing the Railroad Will Not Build
New Llnes-It VIII Work Harm.

PoCATELLo, Idaho, Dec. Is. - Especial
telegram tc The HERALD. Burt, the little
son of Conductor Wilbur, broke his left
arm today while coasting, by being thrown
from his sled. The fracture was COM
pound, but was finally reduced, and the
boy is now resting easily.
A tralnman named Andrews was badly
scalded near McCammon last night owing
to hue of the engine bursting, throwing
not water and steam in all directions. He
was also injured in the back and legs by
jumping from the engine.
NO little interest is taken here in the
actlon OF the supreme court of the state in
deciding against the state board of equali-
eaton In the suit brought by Sample Orr
ct al, OF Bingham county. The board at
recent session made reduction of the
railroad taxes, which greatly affected
Bingham county, owing to the large
amount OF railroad running through the
same. The only ones who had kick, how
ever, were certain parties around Black
loot and their interest was personal
and not for the benefit of the whole
country. They brought suit resulting in
their favor and consequently the railway
assessment will be as of old. 1t Is feared
now that the railroad will retaliate in some
manner on account Of the enterprise shown
in lighting it through the state board of
equalization, and that it will affect this
place, which all through the case as peo-
pie have been in favor of reduction of the
assessment SO that the railway company
could build more road, which is essential
to the future growth and prosperity of the
country. If the railroad company
takes retaliatory measures at all it win in
lure this town more than where the actual
hghting was done on account of the Union
Pacific company's large interests here.
Great rejoicing is reported at Blackfoot
over the supreme courts decision, but if
the railway company desire it can easily
turn 1t into the death knell to more than
one town on its line in Bingham county.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA story was going
the rounds of Wall street to-day that
Henry Willard would be obliged to retire
from the presidency of the Edison General
Electric company, and also retire from the
Northern Pacific railway. AS a reason it
was asserted Drexel, Morgan & Co., who
heretofore have been numbered among
Wizards strong adherents, had become
dissatisfied with certain methods and sisni-

tantamount TO a command. Both Morgan

very little of the hidden causes of his cure
il such 1t be, because none Of his patients
die during treatment and so no opportunities
for timely p0st-m0rtem examinations are
offered. But DR.. Kelley gets S25 a week
from each OF his patients, SO his lack of op-
portunities for post-mortems is more than
repaid in dollars.
"Fathers take their sons there, sons their
fathers, wives their husbands and husbands
their wives" said DR. Rice. There were los
women at Dwight last week under treat
ment. These patients are afflicted for
the most part with the morphine and opium
habits, for which the Kelley :remedy is as
sure cure as it is for alcoholism. The
women received attention at their boarding
places, but no man, however wealthy, can
escape taking his turn in line while awaiting
his shot" A st Louis millionaire who Of
ferred the company $500 week for private
treatment was told that there was no caste

"Tha man who leaves Dwight ''cured"
can never return for treatment. The mana
gers say that the patient will have greater
difficulty In acquiring thirst for alcoholic
stimulants the second time than he did In
the first place; consequently they will not
bother with man so senseless as to throw
himself away In that fashion. Such POSI-
tion may be begging the question ON the
point that some patients may not have been
cured, so DIR. Rice says; but at any rate. the
facts show most astonishing transforms
tions.
As to the effect of the Kelley remedy on
the prohibition party and the woman's
Christian temperance union, DR.. Rice does
not think that Miss Willard or any other
temperance agitator has any right to COM
plain. DR.. Kelley does not prevent intem-
perence; he cures it. II intemperance as a
disease can be prevented by any means, Dr.
Kelley will have to go out of business.
