to denounce the Russian treaty. The

A DOUBLE EXECUTION.
Two Boys Executed at Danville, ILL.,,
for Brutal Murder.

Harvey Gale and Frank Stiers were exc
cuted at Danville, ILL.,, for the murder of
Henry Helmick. The Governor, in denying
the application for a respite. said that he
considered hanging an unnecessary cruelty
that he did not believe that it was of any
benefit to the State and it did not deter others
from committing murder. Inasmuch, how
ever, as capital punishment was a part of the
laws of the State, he did not think it would
be well for him to commute the sentence of
the trial court to life Imprisonment.
On the night of August 25 last four young
men-Harvey Pate aged twenty-one Frank
Stiers, aged nineteen Elias McJunkins,
aged eighteen, and Charles Harris, aged
ssventeen-walked about eight miles out of
Danville into Pilot township with the avowed
intention of robbing Henry Helmick. They
waylaid and murdered the wealthy farmer as
he returned from church. McJunkins and
Harris were sentenced to the Penit entiary
for life and Pate and Stiers were condemned
to hang.

A MIDDAY BANK ROBBERY
THE SOUTH BEND, IND, Ma
TIONAL LOOTED OF $4,000.

The Cashier Had Gone to Lunch-His
Assistant Was Decoyed to the
Door-The Robber Broke Through
Two Doors into the Vault Where
the Money Was.
A bold robbery was committed about noon
upon the South Bend Qnd.) National Bank,
one of the leading banking concerns In the
State. The amount taken was $15,9 300. The
robbers seem to have made good their escape.
From the manner in which the details OF
the theft were carried out, it is GER
tain that it was engineered by gang
of experienced criminals, who must
have been for some time shadowlng the
bank and its officers, and had become
thoroughly conversant with their business
habits The South Bend National Bank IS
located on North Michigan street, the FIRST
National Bank being just north OF 1t, an ron
fence joining them. Shortly after noon. while
Cashier Campbell was absent at lunch, AS
sistant Cashier Kelly, who resides in the rear
of the building, was called to his front door
by a man who said he wanted to see him on
some business. At the same time man ap-
preached the bank building on the north ana
effected an entrance to the directors room.
prying open the window sash with steel
chisel.
He then forced heavy oak door, which
opened Immediately in front of the vault.
The outer door of the vault was open, but
two-inch middle door had been closed by
Cashier Campbell.
This yielded readily, the combination hav-
ing for some reason failed to work, and be-
fore the robber stood the counter tray, con-
tanning between three and ten thousand dol
lars In the safe pile of $4,000 in gold
and many thousands in greenbacks was ar
rayed on shelves.
In the haste the counter tray with its loose
thousands was undisturbed, the robber con-
fining his theft to the safe, from which he
took $4,000 in yellow coin. about all he could
carry, and $11, 800 in bills. No silver coin
was touched.
The vault was then closed, and the robber
made his escape by means of back door be-
fore Assistant Cashier Kelly had again passed
through the building. 1t is probable that but
one man entered the bank, he perhaps being
protected by outside guards, who could easily
have been placed where they could watch
through the plate-glass window the move
ments of any one inside the building without
attracting attention to themselves. The
money was not missed until some time after
Cashier Campbell returned from dinner, and
then information of the theft was suppressed
for some time in the hope that some clue to
the robbers might be discovered.

The New York News observes: For
eigners often comment upon what they
call the extravagant habits of Ameri-
can people. AS a nation we seem to
live SO well, to enjoy life SO heartily,
and to spend money so freely, that the
foreigner can see no means of provision
for the proverbial rainy day. The
American enjoys life, it is true, but
home is his magnet and his heart is
with his family. No other people
on earth are SO proyident as our own.
The aggregate deposits in American
savings banks, last year, amounted to
81, 712, 769, ,O26. The total of such de-
posts in Great Britain was 1886, ,0OO,-
900, in France $3.50, 900, 900, and in
Prussia $720, 000,0 900. The average
amSlnts of deposits in this country
are from three to five times greater
thar in Europe. Life insurance sta
tistics give still more gratifying ex-
hibit. The life insurance in force in
the United States last year reached
the enormous sum of so, 731, 992, 719.
The total for Great Britain was SO, 274, :
422, O2O, for France $6S9, 18O. .2O5, and
for Germany $3.50, $685. The
amount of insurance in the United

A five-year-old daughter of L. H. Mosier
was terribly burned at Fairport, Ohio. Dur
ing the temporary absence of the child's
mother she got a coal oil can and began
pouring the contents upon the fire. The
flames burst out and set the girls dress on
fire.
An eight-year-old brother who was in the
room seized the screaming child in his arms
and, rushing out doors, rolled the little one
in the snow until the flames were extin-
guished. Every particle of clothing was
burned offthe girl except her underwrapper.
The little hero's hands were also badly
burned. 1t is feared that besides being ter
