beautiful and there was fair wind COM

The City's Water Rate.

Aldermen Linn, Anderson and
Fischer, acting as committee of the
city council, yesterday afternoon
waited on Receiver Spence of the
water company. Their object was to
effect some sort of a compromise as to
the rate the city must pay for its
water supply, the matter already
having been the subject OF consider
able discussion. The committee sub
mitted proposition to Receiver
Spence to which he replied with a
counter proposition, the result being
that no conclusion was reached. tits
understood that the city offered the
sum of $4,000, while Receiver Spence
wanted $4,000, the only difference
being $500 1t is believed, however,
a compromise will be effected before
the next meeting of the council.

sROWN'S IRON BITTERS
FINISH AND START AGAIN,
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
If it is true that Democratic sena-
tors will refuse to bear hand in pure
ly dilatory tactics, they are taking q
course marked with good judgment
and propriety. The house is the place
where a financial battle should be
fought out. A bullion purchase law
is really matter of taxation rather
than currency, and belongs to the
house.
The battle has been fought out in
the house. From all accounts the
lines are drawn in the senate already.
The managers are supposed to know
just where every vote will be ranged.
If that is 30, further speech making
will only be for procrastiDation or per-
sonal display, with neither of which
the country's interests are in the
slightest degree identified.
1t is true that as soon as the Sher-
man law is repealed the Northeastern
states will shift their ground and
claim that tariff agitation has been at
the bottom of financial disturbance.
Repeal of the Sherman act will not
satisfy them. But definite action Of
any sort ON the silver law will please
the country better than no action, and
the vote should be reached as early as
possible.
Fillibustering will do more than
irritate trade and public opinion. 1t
will weaken the free coinage move
ment. The imperative need is full
understanding between the West and
South upon both the tariff and the
currency. The Sherman act has been
barrier to concert of action. 1t has
been weapon the Northeast could
use, and did not hesitate to use, for
impressing the West and South with
their commercial dependence upon
New England, New York and Penn
sylvania. Some possible good can be
found in it by minute search, but in
practical finance and practical politics
it has been harmful in every way.
There is currency reform upon
which the West and South will agree
as they agree upon tariff reform. They
cannot get at it until the bullion pur-
chase device is out of the way.
Silver Senators will stand between
their States and prosperity if they
offend the rest of the country by dila'
tory speeches. They will only post
pone for few days the announcement
of decision Already reached. The
fight is over, and the next fight,
which is t. be for genuine free coinage,
ought now to be in process of organi-
zation.
On popular vote the majority for
immediate action in the Senate would
be 10 to l. That should decide.

TWO DEAD BANK ROBBERS
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO ROB A COL.
ORADO BANK IN DAYLIGHT.
Three Men Attempted the Job, Killing the
Cashier, and Two Of the Robbers Were
Killed by Citizen Who Was
Dead Shot.

DELTA, Col, Sept. THE most
daring robbery ever committed in this
part of Colorado occurred here in
broad daylight this morning. the OBJ
ject of attack being the Farmers and
Merchants bank, and while the sum
secured was small, the robbery result
ed in the death of three people, the
cashier of the bank and two of the
highwaymen who made the attack.
The robbery was planned on the lines
of those in Kansas towns, particularly
a Coffeeville, where the Daltons Sc
cured so much money last year. The
belief is the bandidts, if not members
of that gang, have at least been iden-
titled in other robberies of similar
nature.
The bank opened as usual at 10
o'clock shis morning, At 1890 three
mounted men rode up to
the door and entering quickly rushed
up to A. P. Blachly, cashier,
presented guns and demanded what
money he had. The cashier refused
to give it up. The robbers made a
grab through the window, secured
$500 and opened fire. The cashier fell
dead instantly. The robbers then
fired at H. H. Wolbert assistant
cashier, but missed him. The shooting
attracted the attention of citizens and
Ray Simpson, a leading hardware
merchant and dead shot," ran for
his winchester aud started for the
alley in the rear of the oank, where
the robbers had tied their horses.
The robbers had started out of town
when Simpson got there, but he sue
seeded in killing two by shooting
them through the head, the third shot
killed one of the robbers horses and
together the man and animal fell to
the ground. After killing the two
robbers Simpson continued after the
third one, taking several shots at
him but without effect. Simpson then
returned to town, and getting together
a posse, started at once in pursuit
The robber is thought to have about
mile the start and is mounted on a
fine horse, going in the direction of
the IN 1untains. If acquainted with
the country there is chance of his
escaping, otherwise the posse will cap
ture him dead or alive. In the latter
case he will undoubtedly be lynched
on return here.
The two dead robbers were also well
mounted and the horse not killed was
caught by citizens. Four hundred
dollars were recovered from
their persons, the escaping rob,
Der carrying away a hundred.
1t is suspicloned that the men are
remains of the Dalton gang. They are
not known here and their Identified
ton has not yet been secured. The
dead bandits are both young men OF
fair complexion and one is strikingly
good looking. The coroner has taken
the remains in charge.
Mr.. Blachley, the dead cashier, was
an old resident and leaves a wife and
large family of young children: He
and Mr.. Baldwin owned the bank.

ty and has a population of 900.

University Law Matters.

1t ia now settled that the law de-.

the coming session, offer third grade
course for the benefit of graduates, 1t
is also expected that some additions
will be made to the undergraduate
courses. These improvements have
been made practicable by the apoint-
ment of an assistant professor and by
the generous action Of Chief Justice
Stayton and Associate Justice Gaines
in taking charge of instruction in
pleading, practice and evidence.
