A BANK RAiDED.
Three Masked Robbers Hold Up the
Bank of Sylvan Grove.

Three Masked Robbers Hold Up the
Bank Of Sylvan Grove.
SALINA, Kan, Nov. 13,-Three masked
robbers held up the Bank of Sylvan
Grove, Kan, 40 miles west of here, at
noon yesterday, and one of their num-
Der was left dead in an unusually
tragic manner. He was shot by Cashier
John Colene, of the bank, and when in
a dying condition was perforated with
bullets by his own companions, TO save
themselves from exposure. The men
rode into town on fast horses. They
were finely mounted and heavily
armed. Their masked faces and flying
steeds attracted everybOdy's attention,
but they wasted no time in getting to
work. They pulled their horses up
with jerk in front of the bank, and
while one robber remained seated,
holding the brides of the other two
horses and guarding the entrance to
the bank, his two companions entered.
A citizen who was transacting business
at the counter complied quickly with
their command to throw his hands up.
Cashier COlene was ordered to turn
over what money he had and do it
double quick. He looked into tee muz-
zles of both reVolvers for a moment
and then reluctantly complied. 1t was
but few minutes from the time the
bandits turned their horses into the
business streets before they were again
mounted and away with all the ready
cash the bank had
The moment the robbers we're out of
the building the cashier secured his
gun and running to the door opened
fire upon the robbers as they were gal
looping away. The bullet of the cash
| ier's weapon lodged in the back of one
of the fleeing men. He staggered in
his saddle for a moment, but neTYing
himself he kept his seat and galloped
on. He was too badly wounded, how.
ever, to continue the effort long, and
before he had gone a quarter of a mile
his body swayed to and fro and finally
he fell heavily to the ground. His two
comrades, who up to this time had kept
right ahead, pulled their horses and
riding up to the PROSTATE man delib
erately fired several shots into his body
and dashed away.
When picked up the deserted outlaw
was dead. Nobody knew him and moth
ing to identify him was on his person
Who his companions were is only q

they are a scattered portion of the
Cook gang, working their way west
after having been separated from tbs
banditti and. driven from their haunts
in Indian territory.
The bank has offered "a reward o.
500 each for the capture of the rob
beFs, dead OF alive. The sheriffs o.
three counties have organized forces
which are now in search of the bandits
The amount of booty secured has no
yet been learned. Bank officials ar
keeping that quiet.

will be found acting in full harmony
with the Populist senators, and that if
Governor TIllman should be chosen to
succeed Senator Butler, he will also be
found in the Populist column, as will
also the two senators to be chosen
from North Carolina. This would give
the POpulists eight senators as against
AZ Republican and IS Democrats after
the 4th of March. "The only ground"
he said in conclusion, ION which 1
should be willing to unite with the Re-
publicans would be on a platform pied
ging that party to a free silver policy.

but trap. l do not propose to be
caught with anything less than COM

A Famous show of Beautv.

The show of distinguished beauty,
transfxed by famous artists, which is
now taking place at the Academy of
Fine Arts in New York, has been anti
cipated by the Cosmopolitan magazine
in its November issue, in an article by
William A. Coffin, with illustrations Of
some of the more beautiful faces. The
"Great Passions of History" series has
for this months subject the romatic
career of Agnes Sorel, who influenced
the destines of France under Charles
VII. "The Art Schools of America"
"The Great British Northwest Terri
tory" "The Chiefs of American Press,
and the public Library Movement"
are amongst the Cosmopolitan's table
of contents. Survivors of the war and
their children will find intense inter
est in ''The Story of a Thousand" a
personal narrative begun in this
number by Albion W. Tourgee, who
tells in graphic way, of a regiment
which saw fierce seryice-of its Organi-
zation, its marches, its sports, and its

erations to the white-aproned monarch
to ''fill EN- up again" began to tell on
the mutes. Their fingers began to grow
thick" and did not readily respond to
their owners will as was their wont in
periods of sobriety. Toward midnight
it became plainly apparent that their
artificial source. of expressing their
thoughts was losing its integrity, also
its photography, This fact pleased the
mutes. They looked as if they would
like to whoop q few times in defiance
of the police and the public. But as
this pleasure was denied them, they
pounded the bar aud nodded to the
bartenderlto fill the glasses again. But
the deaf mute humanity wears out the
same as the other kind, and shortly be-
fore dawn stole down from the Sni
hills they dropped off into sound and
unbroken slumber. Then only they
became audible. Their sleeping could
be heard

A gentleman who is always looking
out for the unusual asked the opinion
of THE REPUBLIC man as to whether
Governor Minuit got a bargain When
he purchased Manhattan island from
the Indians for 624 worth of trinkets.
Considering the price of real estate in
New York, the r. N. thoughtlessiy de-
clared that Herr MinUet was all right
and got in on the ground floor What
he purchased for S24 is now worth
couple of billions. But when the r.
m. considered what that S24 would
have amounted 70 if put out at interest
and compounded up to the present
time, heFeconsidered aud empbatically
declares that the Herr was a fool and a
sucker of the first water. while the
noble red man turned a trick SO mag
nificent that the modern efforts Of the
noted financiers of Wall street pale
into insignticance. That S24, at a
reasonable rate Of interest, would have
amounted to s20,GO0.OO0,G0O, and the
