Ten minutes later Assistant Cashier John
M. Brown arrived. The men found a rear
window open, the back door unlocked,
and the door between the directors room
and the counting room mutilated. A
rush was then made for the vault. The
door was swung back and the safe ex-
amined within. A glance showed that
money had been taken.
The police were at once notified and
when the days balance was made up it
developed that the robbers secured s15..
800. There is little doubt but that the
bank had been watched for several days,
perhaps weeks. The raid was well plan
ned, as is shown by the fact that the
robbers touched no money that would be
missed. On top Of the safe was counter
tray containing about 5000. Not dol
lar OF this was touched. They confined
themselves to the safe, which contained
in the neighborhood OF s25, 600, $4,000
being in gold. OF the gold only $4,000
was taken. The rest Of the s15, 900 stolen
was in paper money. The robbers then
closed the vault door to allay suspicion
and left by the back door.

The Delta independent., 1893-12-13

last Friday by h. a. Drake We present
them as follows:
There is little town Delta on the West
ern Slope,
Built up largely by industry, faith and
hope;
The country around is the best in the
land,
And it's worked by people with plenty of
sand"
They have crossed the wide range their
fortunes to win;
If they came here with money they soon
blew it in,
On price of land rather tough to behold,
And put shanty to keep out the cold.
They planted large orchards and big
bitches they made,
There wasn't much business, nor a great
deal Of trade,
But few short years has wrought
great change,
And we've now the best town there is
west Of the range.
The people are jolly, and we enjoy lots Of
jokes;
We talk OF our ranches, and we talk OF
our folks;
The ladies have rights now. we must
guard what we say,
But we'll speak of some men whom we
see every day.
There is G. L. Wright sends to the mines
from our bounty,
And brings back more wealth than any
man in the county.
We are proud OF Ray Simpson who took
down his gun,
And killed the McCartys while yet on
the run.
There's Brother Gill, tall and thin with
very good face,
But to make good shadow stands twice
in one place.
Now there is Geo. Conklin lots Of money
has made,
Always ready for business, and in for
trade,
He'll buy up the mavericks, and it al
ways seems fupSy,
He'll ship them to Omaha and double
his money.
There is w. o. Stephens who tho post
Office keeps.
He can't keep his mouth shut except
when he sleeps,
He makes great fuss. and flies around
like fury,
But he's perfectly harmless, he came from
Missouri.
There is DR.. MacLean. whom every one
knows,
He always looks neat in good suit Of
clothes;
He can tell good story. or a plaster
make stick,
And he's always on hand when person
gets sick.
Here are these old bachelors, its surely
shame
That they are not married. but they're
not to blame; N
They have tried long time some maiden
to win,
But the fellows in courting don't know
how to begin.
But these things will change, you can
just make note,
Girls will pop tho question" now they're
going to vote.
There is Baldwin and Kelso, with plenty
OF "tin,"
And its strange some ladies can't rope
them in.
There is Curtis and Butler, both very
nice men,
Who live down the street, in snug little
den;
They certainly lead monotonous life.
And they've written to Santa Claus for
each one wife.
And then there's the lawyers like to
forgot,
They're the most frozen rascals there is
in the lot;
They study their law books from morn
ing It'll night,
But they'll take any case, if there's
dollar in sight.
There is Judge King up early, and work
ing til late,
he is cheerful, then calm and
sedate;
II you have tough case, ard you want
the fair thing,
You surely will get it, If you call upon
King.
There is w. R. Robertson Of whcm it is
said,
You have to look twice for the top OF his
head;
To Judge from his practice he has law
books down mat

"In China a private house is I'M
known. Anyone can go anywhere, and
if there is the least provocation. he Will
do So. So says the Rev. A. II. Smith,
after many years of missionary service
in that country. To shut the door Is
bad sign. What is going on within
that he dare not admit his fellow-towns-

are no newspapers, no objects ofgeneral
and human interest to attract attention,
and as men and women must be inter-
ested in something, 1t is natural that
they should be fond of neighborly gos-
sip. From Mr.. Smiths account Of the
matter 1t is plain how very little Chinese
and Yankees have In common.

In the report of Yesterdays proceed
ing of the Legislature, we read the fol.
lowing:
Mr.. FULLER of Durham. from citizens of
Durham against an increase of the town taxes.
BY Same, similar petition.
And so it would appear that there is to
be a gentle kick all along the line, and
the inference is that the citizens attempt,
through their councilmen, to raise the
rate of taxation, will fail of it's mission.
1t has been said that the poor man, pro-
portionately pays the tax anyhow, and
this is true.
The rich man wants to become richer,
and he of course gives in just as much,
and no more, than under an elastic con
science, he must give in.
There may be other ways out of it, but
The GLOBE will make bold to say that if
the style of ievying taxes were changed
to where it should be, there would be no
need of an increase.
People generally know that there is
more rascality in the matter of assess
ments than in any other line.
Make those who own property list it,
and pay for what they possess-pro rata
with the poor man and poor woman with
acow or sewing machine, and that would
solve the problem of funds for current
expenses.
The tax shirker steals more each year
than the tax payer ever paid into the
treasury.
The legislature has a chance to do
something in the matter Of equal taxa
ton, and should at once proceed to do
something.
There is a demand for more honesty in
the matter of t~aXation-and our repre-
sentatives should see to it.

The Mackaye Spectacular.

"The MacKaye Spectatorium,' which
is being built on the Lake Shore of
Jackson Park, Chicago, will it is said,
carry out the original and novel ideas
which Mr. Steele MacKaye has long been
considering, and which he has lately
worked out to a successful issue in a
small model. The Spectacular. archi-
tecturally considered, ranks favorably
with its sister buildings in "The White
City," aud the features that will be pre-
scented ON the interior will, if current ru-
mors be believed, surpass in daring or
iginality, breadth of conception, any of the
art features of the Columbian exposition.
Just what these features are, and just
what they consist of, must be a secret for
some time to come to keep them from
falling into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
men but enough has been learned, on
the outside to warrant the statement
that people will be surprised at the ex-
traordinary n in which the events
of "The Great Discovery" will be pre-
scented. Back of the plan are men whose
names are not often found in connection
with theatrical matters; such men as
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, George H.
Pullman, Franklin H. Head, hurry Mel
son, P. E. Studebaker, A. G. McClurg, A.
McNally, Lyman ]. Gage, E. B. Butler,
and others of financial prominence in
and about Chicago. The sp%ectatorium
with its accessories, scenery and grounds
will cost about 81 500, 900.

HOW IT3

The republicans and populists of Kan
sas have had a wild and woody fight, and
disgraced the state and themselves.
1t must be remembered that there are
two lower houses of the Kansas legisla-
ture-the republicans claiming to be 'the
people," while on the other hand the
%populists claim the same thing.
The supreme court will decide the ques.
ton, but the action of the republican
speaker in taking a sledge hammer and
battering down the doors of the legislative
hall, cannot be approved by law-abiding
citizens, no more thar can the action of
the populists in barring the door.
But to the point: Had such evidences of
lawlessness and savagery been exhibited
in the South-especially between republic
cans and democrats-there would have
gone up a wall of woe from the republi-
can press that could have been heard to
the Hawaiian throne.
1t would have been denounced by the
northern papers as barbarous, and used
L " oAO" IudI luC COutu was Stlll luLOleT'
ant and blinded to all law, order and
decency.
The Kansas statesmen have simply
made fools of themselves. They have
hurt their state, but because a crowd of
jackasses wants to bray, it should not be
forgotten that there are some quiet and
law abiding citizens vet remaining in the
neighborhood.

ures, so base and so abandoned.
He wants, as we understand his posi-
ton, to put himself in the possession of
facts, in order that he may declare with
absolute distinction and absolute knowl-
edge that all this hellish traffic is going
on-he wants to do scurvy Society some
good-and if the moral element of this
same infected Society will help him, there
is yet a chance.
1t is true that PARKHURsT evidently
o~verstepped the bounds and aisles of de-
cency when he had some of these sorry
strumpets dance before him in a nude
slate-yet he was only clinching a fact
and emphasizing his own belief. To the
pure all things are pure-and it is only
evil to him who evil thinks.
When GARDNER, a cheap and weak
agent of PARKHURsT, fell, there was no
reason to assume that the cause was lost.
Abandoned M have caused many
men to fall-LUCIFER fell, and if an angel
falls, what must we expect of some de-
grees and phases of human nature?
The GLOBE believes that PARKHURsT
is right-despite the bowls of the New
York Sun. In fact the New York Sun
| delights to revel in scandals high and low
and it was left to The Sun-once a
paper with a million a week"-but so
no more, to print all the dirty and nasty
talk in the BEECHER-TILToN trial.
1t is truly in accord with the eternal
fitness Of things for The Sun newspaper,
of New York, to cry down PARKHURsT
| and his cause.

AS 1T Is DONE

PARKHURsT, who has undertaken, in
New York, the sinful task Of roofing out
the frauds who peddle vice; who has tried
to check the infamy which is found in the
traffic of human souls, and who finds OBJ
position among the so-called cream of
society, is being pursued in New York.
PARKHURsT is a man who knows that
the social evil has eaten deeply into New
ork society-who knows enough to
know that the thousand courtesans of the
town ply their vocation and seduce youth
and steal happiness from good women
and innocent children.
And it is his object and his desire to
stop and forever check this miserable
traffic in human souls-to reform and to

THE STATE

The committee on state printing has
agreed that the job Offices shall have the
printing, and that newspapers are not
in it.
That is the stuff.
Two years ago when THE GLOBE made
a fight against the vicious principle of
retaining joe daniels, it was argued that
union printers would suffer if the price
was reduced. We then said in u Raj
eigh GLOBE, printed for the occasion:
But EDWARDS & B~RoUGHTON, it must
be remembered, pay the printers; employ
union printers; and EDWARDS & BRoUGH-
TON and the printers they employ do the
work for 10 per cent less than the state
paws. The bonus, amounting to $4,000
a year, goes into the pocket of a man who
is no a printer, and who does not own or
| control an interest in the office where the
printing is done.
And this is why the taxpayers should
not be robbed.
Again we said, and we meant it, and
mean it to-day:
There has been an attempt at the cheap
est sort of buncombe, which was to give
strength to a public impression to the
| effect that if the present middle man, who
a. IL IL, 4La 1aD ~ Yynro nf nunr
$4,000 a year, was bounced, as he should
be bounced, that the typographical union
would suffer. If the money which is now
| given to the alleged estate printer" (and
who does no printing! were thrown into
the general fund of the typographical
union to support organized labor, then
THE GLOBE would be the last paper in
the state to raise it's voice against the
present wretched contract. But here is
a man who does not belong to the typo
graphical union, who is not a printer,
who, until recently, did not even call
himself an editor, but who was a lawyer,
bought, as the REV. SAM JONES put it,
"a shirt. tail full of type and a keg of ink"
and set himself up as the great high
priest of all the parties, on the Il am
holier than thou" platform, draws a
larger salary for doing nothing than
GOVERNOR FOwLE receives for doing a
great deal; draws a larger salary, in fact,
than any officer in North Carolina, and
we say to you, gentlemen Of the legisla-
ture, you cannot return to your constitu-
ents and explain your conduct if you
perpetuate this fraud which is more than
rotten ripe.
And if the papers are right now, then
we have it straight.
The bonus has been wiped out, and
printers are to do the work.
They will do it as they have always
done it, at Is per cent less than daniels
charged-yet it means several thousand
dollars to the people of this state.
Let US be thankful that agitation often
causes action.
If the Legislature accepts the report of
the committee, as it doubtless will, all
officials are to be congratulated.

The public printing has finally been
disposed of on general business princi-
pies. The job offices who do printing
get 1t at the rates they used to get, and
the middle man has been fired. Who dare
say that this is not business?
