summoned were mostly colored peo-
pie of the Peoples party. Without
any legal testimony the Democratic
bosses struck off 116 names from the
lists-90 per cent of whom were our
voters.
Such are Democratic methods. A
free ballot and fair count is meant
for Democrats. The Peoples party
must make out the best it can in the
face of fraud, tyranny and suppress
sion. - 81

"There was q very mad conductor on
the eastbound train the other night"
said John d. Paterson, Kansas City
man. "The car was crowded, and l
shared my seat with st. Louis drum
mer, who was bent on having a good
time at the expense Of his fellow pas
sengers. AS the conductor came along
a dog under our scat began to snarl
viciously. The conductor looked hard
at the drummer. No dogs allowed in
the coaches; take him into the baggage
car he said. Not my dog, replied the
drummer, as he made a vicious kick.
The cur went bowling under the seats
the full length Of the car. The passen-
gers became interested. The conductor,
porter and brakeman made search for
him. He continued to run and howl.
The passengers Joined in the search, but
no dog could be found. and the quest
was finally given up.
"Just as the passengeRs had settled
into doze the dog set up a heart
breaking, ear piercing howl. The
search was renewed, but without sue
cess. As we pulled into Bunker Hill the
dog got under the wheels, and his death
song was something appalling. The
conductor was overjoyed. He got of
and looked for fragments Of the dog.
The drummer had alighted, and as the
conductor called all aboard, he put
down his grips and filled that train from
engine to sleeper with dog fights. He
was a ventriloquist. The conductor was
80 mad that he forgot to take up tickets
for forty miles. st. Louis Globe Dem

MADE A GOOD HAUL.
Three Burglars Blow Open a Safe
at Asbury Park.
wAToHMAN BOUND AND GAGGED.

The Men Wrapped Blankets Around
Secured Five Thousand Dollars
and Decamped, Leaving Nc Clew
10 Their Identity.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., July 9e.-A dar-
ing robbery was committed In this town
at an early hour In the morning, Harry
Dyckman, night watchman in the en-
ploy Of the Asbury Park Electric Rail-
way company, was found in the COM
pany's Office bound and gagged, and in a
ddzed condition.
When he regained consciousness he
said that about a. m. he was suddenly
surprised by three strange men, who
forced their way into the Office and
struck him down with club OF some
blunt instrument, when he became in
sensible.
The burglars then bound and gagged
the night watchman securely and threw
him into one corner Gs the room. The
large Marvin safe, which stood behind
the rail in the office, was blown open by
the cracksmen. They wrapped blankets
around the safe to deaden the noise of
the explosion. They secured over 81, 900
from the safe This money was the to-
tai receipts of Saturday and Sunday on
the electric railway, when the travel
was very heavy. 1t is believed that the
thieves knew this, and carefully selected
a time for the robbery.
No Clew to the Burglars.
p As soon as Superintendent Hickey, of
the railway company, heard OF the rob-
berry he communicated with the chief of
police. Watcbinan Dyckmans story is
believed by the superintendent, who
says he has every reason to regard Dyck-
man as n thoroughly trustworthy man.
Watchlnan Dyckman has given to tho
police rs far as he is able to remember a
description of the burglars. One he says
was a tail man, another short, with
broad shoulders, and the third of me-
dium height.
AS far as known the burglars left no
clew as to their identity, and it is
thought that they got out of town on an
early train for Philadelphia or New
York. Watchman Dyckman is not Sc
riously injured.
At the time of the robbery only two
policemen were on duty throughout the
entire town, which has an area OF one
and half square miles and a popula-
ton at the preEeIt time estimated at
30 900 persoas.
II is rumored that the town authori-
ties have had two Piukerton detectives
here for several days looking out for
suspicious characters. 1t is supposed
that the burglars are members of the
gang that have been guilty of similar
outrages in Ashury Park.

A small boy gave lesson in natural
history the other day. He brought into
the Office q species Of lizard popularity
known as the swift" Holding the lit
tie reptile above his head he let 1t fall
to the floor, with the result that O Sec
ton of its tail was broken off. Noticing
that it was minus q part of its prehen-
sile organ, the swift, after discovering
the piece Of tail lost, backed slowly up
to it, and placing the stub against the
piece, held it in contact for few sec
onds, and then ran swiftly away with
his tail glued together, apparently as
sound as ever.
The experiment was repeated several
times, with the same result Swift glue
could doubtless be used successfully in
sticking disnembered limbs, fingers,
ETC., together, and we throw out this
suggestion to local surgeons for what it
is worth.-Ontario Observer.

A WOMAN.

All, she Is of our thought and time, y
And we are vaguely loath TO trace
Through nights OF variant age and cline
Her birthright 10. "a servile race.
Amid the tumult OF our days,
Thrilled with the fire OF hope and dream,
She treads in fearless wise the ways
That men had sought and trod suprem.sT
With gladdened eyes she fares, and none
Shall check her warm, uplifting soul
That secs nfar some shining goal
Like the new glory of u sun.
She feels the exultant sense Of life,
And battles In the blood of strife;
Where men have climbed, her hands shall
reach;
What men have taught, her tongue shall
teach;
sexless in struggle, bold In mini,
Fertile In fresh expedient, strong
To hold her right against the wrong,
To seek what others dare to find,
She stands uncowed. unbowed, unbent,
The mistress of her high intent.
Yet she Is but woman still,
Who weeps as only women weep,
Who loves as only women will, ~
And reaps her joys as women reap;
Whose mystery, in its sacred stir,
Is the inviolate part of her;
Whose charm Is not Of man, but blown
Like the wild roses, all her own.
Sweetheart and flower Of fruitful years.
Time cannot change her smiles and tears,
Time cannot rob her OF tho grace
Which burns like love light In her face.

What Tom Mann Thinks Of the As.

LONDON, July p0.-The attempted
murder of Frick, the Carnegie manager,
has caused widespread attention among

the moderation of his views is reported
as saying: "The British working classes
will strongly condemn any attempt at
assassination under the pretext of aveng.
ing wrong or assisting the cause OF
labor. Indeed, we working people OF
Great Britain have reason to oppose
anarchy, for we have the making OF
laws ourselves and will soon have con.

justly we will pass laws that will make
the capitalists the anarchists if they at
tempt to resist the laws. This is posi-
