One of those charming social events
which go 30 far to make up tho brighter
side of life, was that which attended a

THE HIND PARTY.



May Control Electoral College.
NEW YORK, June 2l-The World
prints the following from Chicago: a
question of great Importance, and one that
is now receiving the careful attention of
Democratic leaders, is the possibility that
in the election next November the So
called third party may succeed in carry
ing enough states to control the balance
OF power in the electoral college.
Lawrence Gardner, secretary of the
Democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee, has given this subject great deal
OF thought, and has made some significant
figures showing the possible outcome Of u
chain of circumstances which might throw
the choice Of the next president into the
house OF representatives., under the opera
ton Of the constitutional provision.
To the World correspondent Mr.. Card
ner said: The third party is composed
of the Farmers Alliance and many other
smaller organizations, the membership of
which is largely made up of agricultural.
lists and laboring men. 1t will hold its
national convention at Omaha next
month. A presidential ticket will be put
in the field, and in a number of western
and southern states full tickets of state
officers will also lie nominated.
This would give an aggregate of forty
nine votes and would ensure absolute con-
troll of the action of the electoral college.
But even with Il smaller number of cleo
toral votes the third party leaders will be
able to throw the election into the house
1t is, therefore, highly important for US
TO prepare to meet the plans now being
made to strengthen and perpetuate an Or

We regard this as a very pleasing innova-

probably be better than Col Smalley's.

FIFTY THOUSAND TAKEN.
Robbers Hold Up n Santa Flo Train In the
Indian Territory.


Indian Territory.
WICHITA, Kan. June News reached
here late last night that the southbound
Santa Fe express had been held up on
the Cherokee strip by six masked men
and the express car broken into and
$50, 900 in money taken.
The train which left this city Mt 5:45
D. m, reached Red Rock, little station
in the territory eighty miles south OF
Wichita at 9:45 o'clock.
Red Rock is mere siding but is used
by cattlemen as shipping point and
the railroad company has built large
stockyartls there. 1t is situated in the
midst of wild, unsettled portion OF the
strip and the robbers could not have
chosen better place for the deed COM
mitted last night.
The train halted at the station and,
after starting, was beginning to move
rapidly when the engineer noticed q
man standing on the track at the stock
yards Resticulating wildly and moving
q flag.
The engineer slowed up and as the
engine approached the spot nve other
men, all wearing masks, jumped out
and boarded the engine.
The engineer and fireman were taken
prisoner and held by two Of the men
while the other four proceeded to the
express car. They presented their re-
volvers in the face of the terrified mes
senCer, and breaking open the safe,
secured Its contents.
The amount obtained Is said to ha'e
been 1000.
The passengers were not molested,
but were commanded to remain in their
seats at the peril of their lives.
Deputy United States Marshal Mad
sen, at Guthrie, has been notified and
will organize q posse and start in pur-
suit of the gang, the number of which
isunsnown.
The money obtained Is thought here
70 have been intended for Indian pay
