BOLD ROBBERS.
Several Wichita Gentry Solve
Financial Problem.
They Hold Up and Rob an Express Wager
on the Streets of the City and Sc
cure Nearly S7,OOO-yery
Slick Scheme.
Heavy Robbery.

WICHITA, Kan, July 31.-A Pacific
express wagon was held up on a street
here about $3.50 o'clock Saturday night
and robbed.
A short time before the robbery a
telephone message to the express office
called for a wagon to be sent to the
Wichita creamery to collect some goods
for the Rock Island eastbound train,
which leaves here at 10 o'clock.
When the wagon reached the cream
cry two colored men were in waiting
and, jumping in, told the driver to go
to the rear of the building, where they
had some butter and eggs to ship. AS
soon as the wagon entered the alley a
third negro appeared, and the driver
and messenger found themselves COW
cred by three revolverS.
The messenger was ordered to open
the safe and could do nothing but COM
ply. 1t took but moment for the dar-
ing robbers to empty the contents of
the box into sacks they had with them
and then ordering the eXpressman to
turn and drive off they disappeared
with their booty in the darkness.
A Mystery DevelOpes.
WICHITA, Kan, July 3L-Such devel-
opments as there have been in the mat
ter of the robbery of the Pacific Ex-
press Co.'S wagon have served only to
mystify and arouse suspicious. Inquiry
at the telephone exchange half an hour
after the robbery developed the fact
that no one there had overheard the
message calling for the wagon, sup
posed to have been sent from the
Wichita creamery, and the local agent
of the express company says the mes
sage was received in the office by D. W.
Jones, the driver of the wagon which
was held up
The pouch taken from the safe and
which contained the money was found
by a police officer, looted of its con-
tents, within 100 feet of the scene of
the robbery soon after the alarm was
given, which, by the way, was not for
half an hour after the occurrence, the
occupants of the wagon going all the
way to the office before mentioning
their loss. The authorities are work.
ing on two or three alleged clews with
little hope of getting anything out of
them. The Waterman at the stockyards
reports seeing three men running north
about an hour after the robbery, and
the sheriff's officers are out in that di-
rection, while the city police are looking
fora half-breed Indian named Smokey
Tom" who came up from the Sac
and Fox country lately, and who has
not been seen since Saturday night, the
theory being that he may be an aSso-
ciate of one of the gangs of desperadOes
operating in the territory sent on here
to get the lay of the land and prepare
the way for the real perpetrators of the
daring holdup. The full amount stolen
was S7,6O6, of which $500 was con-
signed to Kansas City bank.

TENTH YEAR

federal army was far more numerous
than Lees and the Confederacy was SO
exhausted that it could not place more
men in the field" On page 214 is an
apology for General Early i. 9, "When
Early had weakened his army by send
ing achievements to Lee, Sheridan de-
feated him."
The student will observe the state
ment BY Ellis that General Sherman
left Atlanta with $4,000 men on his
march to the sea. In speaking of
Shermen leaving Savannah he states
Sherman had 10000 infantry, 10000
cavalry and a corresponding amount
of artillery. This too after Sherman
had garrisoned forts, ETC., at different
points. Now where and when did
Sherman recruit his army?
How is the student to reconcile the
contradiction in paragraph 5, page 219,
i. g. "Grant daily fastened his grip on
Lees army. On the 9TH of February
he attempted to turn the Confederate
right but was repealed. He gained,
however, several miles of additional
territory" How could Grant be re-
pClICu gam ScNcIdl lullCS duuI-
| tional territory on the same day and
date? Lees army at this time num-
bered less than $4,000, the line was 40
miles long"-Ellis This would give
ole man to feet leaving out line and
field officers. Another apology for
Lee and the truth stretched as
much as Lees battle line. In closing
Ellis fails to give statement Of the
magnanimity and favors shown the
defeated rebels at Appomattox
In this so called complete history of
the United States but six pages are
covered in the war with Mexico, and
but 50 pages in the war of the rebellion
necessarily brief to fault.

culrus CLUE.


The first meeting Of the Cultus Club
was had last Monday night. according
to announcement, and notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, large
audience was present. The program
rendered was excellent in selection and
execution. The piano solo by Miss
Edna Little, the name of which has es-
capped our memory and which we
couldn't spell If it had not, was
splendid performance. A reading by
Miss Ettinger thrilled and delighted
the audience. Romeo and Juliet,
modernized, by Huber Burr, brought
down the house. Rev Crowther's adj
dress was replete with wise suggestion
and well received. An essay by Mr..
Gipson on brevity and clearness con-
veyed many valuable hints on writing
and speaking and the music by the
mandolin club, Messrs Clark, Sebree
and Dunbar, ELECTED hearty applause.
The fifteen minutes intermission for
general sociability had the desired
effect and q small but good natured
Babel reigned for the allotted time.
The closing ceremony-a debate-Re-
solved, that the right Of suffering
(suffrage) ought to be extended to the
women of Idaho, was ably and pro-
foundry discussed by Messrs. Smith
and Rice. Smith for the prosecution,
Rice for the defense. The gentlemen
displayed an insight into the subject
altogether beyond what their experience
would seem to warrant. Veteran hus
bands were amazed at the knowledge
of the intricate subject-woman-the
young men somehow acquired. A
venerable little man sat in the amen
corner and watched his wife anxiously.
Every time she nodded approvingly at
Smith, that little man fairly trembled
with applause. It sometimes seemed
almost genuine. His wife was large,
methodical looking lady. The antithe-
sis of the picture was in the opposite
corner and Rice got their combined sup
port The controversy was rather more
logical than sanguinary and We can
only account for this on the hypothesis
that the Alternatives girl was out OF
town and the negatives, in the audience,
Those little things have their influences
Altogether the first meeting of thu
club was gratifying success and it il
; hoped that the people of Caldwell viii
} lend every possible assistance and Ell
enlargement to its continuance. Tn
| next meeting will be held Monday even
+ ng, the 18th instant, and the program
! twill be duly published. All are urge
to attend the meetings and cordi
r invitation is extended to everybody
Q join the Cultus Club.

Energetic Sanitation.

The commissioner engaged under recent
law to purify the watershed from which
New York city gets it's water supply has
taken strong measures. He goes to the length
of burning down residences that seem to be
too dirty TO admit Of successful sanitation.
Barns are removed nuisances abated, and
the personal convenience of careless and
negectful persons is sacrificed to secure the
safety Of New York's millions. Such pro-
vision for the coming summer is not unwise.
Other cities have unsanitary buildings and
disease breeding nuisances in the valleys from
which they draw their water supply. Balt-
more might very well consider whether it
has nothing to do in this regard Baltimore
Sun.
And in Frostburg.
A hog-pen should not be permitted
inside the corporate limits.
Look at the alleys, and one will find
that the most of the unwholesome,
poisonous filth with which they are
reeking comes from hog opens.
1t is useless to clean the alleys and
leave the hog-pens stay.
1t is work for nothing.
While the cause remains the alleys
will still be nurseries of disease.
Looping off the branches of the
Upas will not kill the deadly tree.
1t must be completely uprooted.

Instrumentation.

The Cumberland Times reports Mr..
Wittig as saying in connection with
his indecent remarks concerning the
JOURNAL that
AS private citizen he would defend him
self from this abuse.
Just light here the Mayor and all
Councilman are mistaken.
They have never been criticised
personally as private or even public
citizens, but as trustees administering a
public trust-as agents Of the town and
SERVANTS of the people.
The right to do this cannot be
questioned except under a despotic
government.
Our Council is not community of
despots.
But it looks like some of its members
think it is.

A Denial and q Question.

Mr.. Wittig made statement as to the
turning into the reservoir of the fire clay
water and said it was only what had been
done by Mr. Haverstck previously and it
was for fire protection only.-Ledger.
Mr.. Haverstick denies this.
On the contrary, he says he made
every effort to keep the Objectionable
water out.
But it seems the reservoir is now
used for storage of fireclay water "for
fire protection only"
Since the reservoir is by this time we'll
saturated with that water and stocked
with its sediments, may we venture to
ask the Water committee whether the
reservoir will ever be safe as a re-
pository for any other than fireclay
water?
Is it not, therefore, ruined as a place
of storage of water for domestic use

That fifty cases. of cerebro-spinal menin.
gifts was an awful break for our Anticipated
contemporary 70 make. Were it not so
serious the people would laugh.-Ledger
The Ledger should not discourage
laughing.
And when its few customers, whom
it styles "the people," get through
smiling at the JOURNAL, they can
giggle over the fact that one leading
physician has sent his children away
from town, and, under his advice, two
other families have gone, and others
would go if they could.
He could not have done any more
had there been five hundred cases.

In the Town Council meeting last Wednes-
day nota word was put upon record as spoken
with regard to the sanitation of Farmville'
What responsibility rests upon the gentlemen
composing this body The dread scourge
which is now prevalent in several Russian
provinces soon may reach our shores and
infect our land. 1t may come any day.
Every city and every town in America ought
to prepare for it without delay. Move at
once in this important matter and let the
town be in as perfect sanitary condition as is
possible.-Farmville (Va.) Herald.
Looking at all the printed accounts
of last special meeting, the same is
true here.
Moreover, nearly all the time left
over after the business was transacted
for which the special meeting was
called, was dedicated to indecent
personal vilifcation of the JOURNAL s
editor and an effort to prove that the
scourge already here has some origin
apart from their administration, and
that, like the food, sit is not much of a
shower after ALL"
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1893-04-22
Reminders.

In the JOURNALS Council report last
week the following paragraph ap-
pears:
MIR. Wittig stated that there were 10 Joints
of pipe bursted OH the "Holtzman line" that
they had intended to use on the new system,
ordered some more pipe.
Without explanation this would i'm
ply some neglect prior to Mr.. Wittig's
ascendancy in both the Water com
mittee and Council.
The JOURNAL learns that Mr.. Lam
inert knew that two of the pipes he
proposed to use from the pumping
station Were cracked by the frost two
winters ago.
And one year ago, when in the old
Water Board proposition was made
to take up the rest of the pipe to save
it from like disaster, he opposed it.
That pipe as laid was meyer covered,
and he would not allow it to be cover
ed or taken up. The pipe was laid on
such gradual grade-6 inches in 100
feet-that water only flowed through
under pressure.
So that when people are distributing
blame, they should not overlook the
antecedents of some of the SURVIVING
heirs Of Water Board administration.
Nor should they be fooled by the
mutual confidence which is so gem
erously exchanged IN the Council
Chamber.

Fact.

A minister who is a careful reader
voluntarily informed the JOURNAL the
other day that not "blackguard'
word had been printed in the JOURNAL
with reference to the Council or any
Councilman,
On the contrary, he 'derives unal-
loyed pleasure from reading the JOUR
NAILS pure, strong, elegant English on
all subjects"
To this we will add that the strongest
"blackguard" quotation Mr.. Wittig
has been able to urge against the
JOURNAL is the reference to "the
pictures on the WALL" and that eX-
preston has neyer been used By the JOUR
NAL, but by correspondents.
Moreover, Mr.. IVHtig is hi0sseF hc

About Once in Ten Centuries.


Mr.. Lammert said the Council had evinced
undivided confidence in the Water COM
mittee AS far as condemnation was con-
cerned the people and not Mr.. Oder did the
eecting.-Ledger.
Very happily expressed.
The people did it.
For instance, Mr.. Lammert was out
of the question as a candidate on the
regular republican ticket.
And he was overwhelmingly voted
down in the mongrel assemblage of
irregular republicans and nondescript
democrats.
Mono, Oder didn't do it.
But how the lone, lorn expression Of
mutual confidence IN the Water
committee" by an undivided Council
helps the matter out, we can't see.
The trouble is-Council was too
long and too uniformly "undivided."
That is the avenue Ella which toe
mischief got IN.
For 1t does not happen more than
once in thousand years that the de
crees of two men involving a variety
of subjects always exactly agree with
the opinions of each of five others.

Concerning the Term Rebel"

Among other things Mr.. Wittig call
ed the JOURNAL "a rebel"
Mr.. Wittig really should go slow.
George Washington was also a rebel,
and among the people he had to con-
tend with was contingent from Ger
many.
Fortunately for the contingent, it
got licked, and now German-Ameri-
cans are the freest OF the free.
The late war came on, however, and
some of them fought for the country
their ancestors had tried to subdue.
In that fight the JOURNAL got licked,
but it never before laid it Oh any Ger
man soldier except brave Christian
Lehr, veteran with real record.
And Christian would be the last
man in Frostburg TO apply the term,
."rebel," to the JOURNAL by way of
reproach.

Mr.. O'Rourke somewhere affirms

Mr.. O'Rourke somewhere affirms
that
Time is in eternity, but is not part of

That may be said of dissimilar
objects, as-the pigeon is in the air,
but is not part of the air, but can
Mr.. O'Rourke say-the water definite
or indefinite quantity is in the ocean.
but is not a part of the ocean7
Further argument is unnecessary.
Besides, self-attesting facts are hardest
to prove by collaterals. To demon
strate, therefore, that time is part of
eternity by laborious logical establish
ment is like climbing hill to prove
the existence of the Sky.

Diagnosis.
think it is.

The health ordinances of this town should
be rigidly enforced.-Ledger.
Why9
There's no sickness here, and not
likely to be so long as our water is
sprayed with the alum and sweetened
with the diversified condiments of
fireclay mine washings.
But perhaps the Ledger, beginning
to feel bad itself in the region of the
occiput, is alarmed about the public
safety should the pain, which is horrid.
reach round and destroy its forehead.
Hence, the inspiration of its squirt
of concern for the popular health is a
personal though not serious one.
1t most probably originated in a
bump raised by the back-seat collar
button.

Council Did the Correct Thing.

Those gentlemen in Council who
think the JOURNAL wants Mr.. Wittig
to resign are grossly in error.
With Mr.. Lammert, the JOURNAL
honestly thinks Mr.. Wittig should stay
his term out.
For inasmuch as the pump plan has
been adopted, it should be completed
by the man who would have ito the
end that if it is a failure in any respect
the flaw cannot be laid on those who
will haye had least to do with it.

Happy Wilmerding.

Some one sends the following clip
ping to the JOURNAL:
The Wilmerding Land company believes
it has solved the problem of a 'purer water
supply by arranging for a reservoir in the
vicinity of that town to be supplied by
artesian wells. Excellent water has been
found at a depth of 275 feet. The proposed
experiment will doubtless prove successful,
and will suggest similar measures to the
smaller boroughs of the county.
Had it been the Council. instead of
land company" the people of Will
merding might have been imperiously
informed that there will be no
boring.n
