Mrs. Gunter and Mrs. Linhart.
The contest in the Women's Relief

SAFE OPEN AND MONEY GONE.
A ROBBER DOES UP A BANK IN
AN ILLINOIS TOWN.
He Secured Ten Thousand Dollars
While the Officials Were Par
taking of Their Dinner.
Special to the REcoRD-US1ox.


HooPEsToN Ill.), Sept. 12.-The Camp
bell Bank at Rossville was robbed of
$4,000 at noon to-day. The bank was
closed for dinner but a few minutes.
when Mr.. Campbell returned and found
the safe open and the money gone. En-
trance had been effected through back
window, the safe robbed and escape made
in short time. Up to tonight no clue
as to the identity of the robber has been
secured.
Rossville is an important grain buying
point. The rainy weather of the past
week has made grain buying slow, and
try banks. At noon to-day Campbell
locked up and went to dinner. In the
safe was $4,000 in currency. The safe
door was closed, but the combination was
not thrown. When Campbell returned,
after an absence of thirty minutes he
found the safe door open and the currency
gone. An investigation showed that the
burglar had entered the back window of
a grocery in the rear of the bank, and
with pair of nippers turned the key to
the back door of the bank. Then opening
the safe he took the money and left the
same way he came. Tracks from a win
dow led to the railroad track, then into
cornfield. The engineer of the elevator
says he saw a man with a light check
suit run down the alley with a bundle in
his hand. Other men saw him, but UP to
late hour tonight no trace of him has
been fOund

THE RIOTS AT HAMMOND.
The Grand Jury Charged to Make q
Thorough Investigation.

4H0 Jury Make q
Thorough Investigation.
VALPARAISO Ind.), Sept 12.-Judge
John II. Gillettee of the Porter Lake Cir
cult Court created great deal of surprise
when he charged the Grand Jury to make
thorough investigation of the riots at
Hammond during the recent strike
against the Pullman Company.
He said: 81 would be recreant in my
duty if omitted To call your attention to
the acts of violence aud lawlessness that
occurred IN this county during the late
strike. While the acts of wrong-doing
were due principally to railroads, yet, as
an incident of such acts men were beaten
almost to death because they performed
their duties, while others were compelled
on pain Of death TO leave the State be-
cause they were suspected of having
given Information as to the identity of
wrong-doers. L am led to believe that
the wrongs committed were done chiefly
by non-residents, who had been driven
over the State line by the military, yet it
IS fact that certain residents of this
county were leaders in the acts spoken of.
There can be no question as TO the alb
stract right of a man not only to strike
but to secure the cooperation of his fell
low-workmen in a strike by an entreaty
or an appeal to reason. Take from the
laborlng man the right to quit employ
ment of uncertain tenure and to urge
others so employed to do so, is to take
from him his only weapon, inasmuch as
he is ordinarily without any considerable
accumulation of money or property, and
he must make the value of his services
felt speedily or the gaunt wolf of starva-
tion will compel him to accept such
wages as his employers tender him. The
limit is that the striker must not molest
the person or property IF his employer
and must not interfere with the freedom
of those who are content to accept as
compensation what the employer Of
ters.
ut is clear that there can be no justifi-
ton for mob rule under form of govern
ment like ours. Our citizens, both ma
tive and naturalized, must be educated to
respect the law. No one has better rea-
son than the laboring man to demand the
enforcement of the law against those who
have committed violence in the sacred
name of labor. The particular cases |
wish you to specially investigate are
those where individuals have been in
jured, and not for crimes committed
against the property of the railroads, un-
less request is made TO that effect"
