Men Who Had. Money in the II Rene
Bank Mako Grave Insinuations.
Ell RENO. Ok, Aug. 2.-The reported
robbery of the bank of Ell Reno by the
Daltons still forms the sole topic Of
conversation on the streets of this city.
Depositors do not take kindly to the
prospect of losing their money and are
insinuating that no robbery was com.
mitted. They assert that no one saw
the men described either enter or leave
the bank. President Sawyer indig-
nantly denies the insin uations con
veyed in their statements
The pursuit of the supposed robbers
has been abandoned and the men who
were engaged in it clai m that they
neither saw the men nor heard of any
persons answering the descriptions
given.
The depositors have held a meeting
and decided that an effort should be
made to GUST the present assignecs.
The movement will hardly succeed,
however. The Minneapolis Loan and
Investment company, which is reported
to be the heaviest loser, having had
on deposit at the time of the raid
something over $1,000, is said to be
negotiating for the possession of the
building now occupied by the Bank of
Ell Reno, which is the finest block in
town.

versity students in full strength form

Replying to an address presented by

Prince Bismarck sketched the events

ties to overcome with the late EN-.
peror, what he might call behind the
scenes diplomacy, which was some
times harder than foreign diplomacy.
The defeat of France, he said. was a
necessity, because if she had not been
humbled she would have hindered
German unity. People said that the
Bismarck policy had luck. He wished
he could say the other ministers and
chancellors were lucky. He advised
his countrymen to produce a strong
parliamentary majority, so as to
prevent absolutism Of government
by bureau rracy Some found fault, he
said, with his criticisms, but he would
continue to speak his mind, whatever
the consequences might be.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. With a
ponderous mill for a church, protected
by l.O watchmen. a strong fence and
1000 soldiers in easy reach, the nom
union men in the great Homestead
steel plant worshipped God
yesterday morning. In lieu
of the organ, a string orchestra from
Pittsburg rendered sacred music, and
in front, his commanding military
form arrayed in blue and white, stood
the chaplain of the Sixteenth regi-
ment. Clarence A. Adams. earnestly
anu tenderly telling the story of a
workingman for Christ, Saul of Tarsus.
There were 400 workingmen, but
in that huge mill they seemed
q handful and they listened in
strained silence. as though they
expected the chaplain to decide for
them the ethics of their position which
held out on one hand the prom Use of
steady employment and on the other
sure hatred of the men whose positions
they had taken. At the close of the
service the workmen sang America
The day was almost featureless so
far as any change in the labor strug-
gle is concerned. Another man left
the mill in the evening and was as
sisted to Pittsburg by the locked out
men. Most of these latter left the
town for day and picnicked in the

AN OFFICER ABDUCTED.
A Harper County, Kan, Commissions
Taken on by Force.

ISken Ou " force.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Aug. Am
Anthony, Kan, special to the Journal
says considerable excitement has been
occasioned in this county over the
abduction of Anon Farmer, the Alli-
ance member of the board of county
commissioners, and the attempted
abduction of Alexander Terrell, Re-
publican member of the board. Four
or five masked men called Mr.. Farmer
out of bed, just before dawn yester-
day morning. took him into a carriage
and that is the last seen of him.
Commissioner Terreli's would-be alb
ductors, five in number, called at his
home in the west part Of the county
about IL o'clock last night and made .
forcible entrance. Luckily Terrell
was in Harper and only his wife and
two small children were at home.
The cause is probably due to the
fact that the board of commissioners
was to have met to-day to make q levy
for the payment of the judgment upon
the old Harper county bonds, required
by the mandamus issued by the SUI
preme court a few weeks ago. Tho
better class of Harper county's tax
payers have advised the board to make
the levy, but the Alliance men are in
favor ofignoring the mandamus and
demand that the commissioners refuse
to make the levy or resign
The two remaining members Of the
board met and adjourned to-day and
will await results. Detectives are at
work in the matter and some startling
are expected in few

EXIT ASSOCIATION.

Tho action Of the board of directors o.
the Commercial Association in deciding
to wind up it's affairs is the proper
thing to do. THE TINES has for some
time been convinced that owing to for
tuitous and untoward circumstances
failure was inevitable for the associa'
ton. 1t was not on tho right lines.
But let no one imagine for moment
that its place will be long vacant. With
scarcely an appreciable interval an Or
ganization will be found on the right
lines, which, avoiding tho mistakes of
the old organization will go forward to
success and long career.
Tho trouble with the association was
too much talk and too little work. In
shaping public sentiment, in directing
public opinion it was in its province,
but when it came down to the shirt
sleeve act and hustling it was not in it.
Tho kind of an organization which
Roanoke wants is ono which will begin
in overalls and shirt sleeves and work
up to the dress-suit stage after many
years.
