tions at each of the windows around the
desks within, and, pointing the revolv-
ers at the heads of the two clerks, told
them to throw up their hands. Instead
of doing go, Kepler snatched paper
weight and was about to deal the fellow
nearest him blow on the head, when
two shoss were fred by the intTuders
One bullet struck Kepler in the left
cheek, inflicting serious but not dan
gerous wound. The young man fell
fainting TO the floor, and the robbers be-
coming frightened ran from the bank
and fled up Eighth street. The shoot
ing attracted crowd, and number OF
citizens gave chase. The robbers find
ing the pursuit too hot turned on the
pursuers and opened fire, but FORUM
ately no one was injured Finally
Special Officer William Dcehrl overlook
the desperadoes, and after firing one
shot at them they concluded to surren-
der.
On being searched nine revolvers and
a collection of knives and brass knuck-
les was found on them. The prisoners
gave the names of John Courtney and

PARIS, Oct. 3.-United States Senator
Leland Stanford arrived here today from
AK les Baines. His health has not
improved. In an interview he said he
firmly believed the Republicans would
win in the approaching presidential con-
test, and that the third party will most
probably see they can do nothing and
will then 60 over in large
numbers to the Republicans and
adopt their views, in part
at least, on money questions. The Nc
Kinley bill would not hurt the Repub-
licans. The Americans would not sub
NIT to direct tax as long as they could
get the needed money out Of i'm ports.
I'VE ars not now raising more
money than necessary for the expenses
of the government" he continued. "a
we'll organized nation ought never to
have to rely upon its neighbors
for any article; it should do its work at
home, and not give to foreigners the
money it can keep in it's own country" /"

THE SURFACE OF MARS.
RESULTS OF RECENT OBSERVATIONS
OF THE RED PLANET.
Interesting Papers by Professors Ho,dep
and Pickering-Scientis,s-P Puxzled
by the Frequent Topographic
ic Changes.

NoRTHFIELD, Minn., Oct 3.---The Oc-
tober number OF Astronomy, q scientific
MAGAZINE edited by Professor Payne of
Carleton college, contains several yalu-
able papers on the recent observations
OF Mars. The first is by Professor Hol-
den, who, under date of August IS; ex-
plains the work done by the big Lick
telescope in California, giving his cou-
clusions as follows:
II may briefly state my individual
conclusions from observations of Mars
at opposition to be that the changes in
the surface features of Mars, as we now
Know them, are probably not capable of
being completely explained by terres-
trial analogies. What are we TO make
OF the lake called Fone Juyentse. for
example, which was a single object in
1877, which was not visible in
70, and which hes been both ain
gle and double during the present
year? Is it conceivable that an oh
server on Mars, examining the earth in
any part OF its recent history. would
/ nave seen such amazing topographic
changes as VIC this year observed, not to
speak OF the changes from opposition to
opposition? 1t appears to me that q
careful examination OF long series Of
drawings of Mars, which we owe to
Professor Schiaparelli and others. up to
the present time, will make it evident
that there are enormous difficulties in
the way OF completely explaining the
recorded phenomena by terrestrial anal
ogles, unless we also introduce serious
notifications"
Prof. Pickering, of Harvard college.
writes under date OF Arequipa, Peru,
August l, 1892. He says: "In seeking
to explain the observations, would
meaely point out the fact that the
changes occurred at a time when the
snow was melting with great rapidity
that dark channel suddenly appeared
July 18th, which had not been seen at
the last previous observation of this re-
gion, June 18th !; that it shortly dieap-
peared again, and few days after this
event the northern sea largely in
creased in area, temporarily. or at
least that it's 8, uthern shores became
much darker. l think these changes
cannot be explained by arean cloud
effects. We have already observed
large whitieh patches upon the planet,
which undergo certain changes in shape
and extend from night to night. We
are studying them carefully, although
we lind them rather difficult of observa-
ton. These changes we are inclined
to refer to clouds, although the matter
is not as simple as it might at first ap-
pear. Ii these effects are really due to
clouds, they are quite different in char
acter from the other changes noted"

however.
The platform adopted expresses firm
belief in tariff revision as absolutely
necessary to the continued prosperity Of
the country. The force bill and David
Martin and NJ. s. Quay and their meth

FUSION IN IDAHO.
The Democrats Will support the Popu-

list Electoral Ticket.
BOISE, Ida, Oct. 3.-The Idaho Dem
ocratic committee today withdrew their
electoral ticket and endorsed the
electors of the Peoples party.
This is understood to be in
accordance with general plan
to be pursued in a number of
western states, under the advise OF the
Democratic national committee. The
Democratic committee endeavored to
obtain concessions for their state
ticket, but this was refused. The COM
mittee concluded to withdraw the entire
state ticket, except secretary of
state, but this raised pro-
test among the country candidates.
The Populists will, it is said, cut their
own candidate for secretary of state and
vote for the Democratic candidate. It
is expected that the Democrats will
trade their candidate for governor and
congressman, and support the Peoples
nominees.
