Northern Pacific Trains Delayed by Work
of Heavy Rains.
HELENA, Mont, May 22.-For several
days there have been unusually large
rains in different portions of the state,
and last night perfect deluge pre-
vailed in this section. For one hour
the downpour almost assumed the pro-
portion of a cloud-burst. Not great
deal of damage was done in this imme-
date vicinity, but along the line of the
Montana Central west there were
number of washouts. Word comes
from Boulder that it will take two or
three days to repair the damage in that
vicinity. All traffic on the road Is
blocked. The train west today came
back to Helena this evening. Several
culverts and small bridges on the North
ern Pacific between Boulder and Elk
horn are gone. That road will be all
right in day or 50.

$4,000 Carried Away.

LONG VIEW, T. May 24--At p. m.
Yesterday two rough looking men
walked into the First National bank,
one with a Winchester concealed under
his coat. He handed the following
note to the president, Joe Clemmons:
"HoME, May 24.-To the First Ma
tional bank, Longview: This will intro
duce TO YOU Charles Speckiameyer, who
wants some money, and is going to
have it. b. " r.
The bank cashier thought 1t was an
importune subscription to some charity
entertainment and started to donate,
when the robber pointed his Winchester
at him and told him to hold up. The
other robber rushed into side door
and grabbed the cash. Tom Clemmons
and other bank officials were ordered
to hold up their. hands. The robbers
hurriedly emptied the vaults, securing
$4,000 in S u bills and seven unsigned
Longview bank notes, which may lead
to their detection.
While this was going on, two of the
robbers were il a rear alley, near the
bank, shooting at every one who sp-
peared, and were being fred upon by
City Marshal Muckley and Deputy VIII
Stevens. The firing made the robbers
in the bark very nervous, and they
hurried the b1nk officials out and told
them to run to the horses and to mount.
This was done ia order to keep the
posse from shooting, but as the bullets
aew thick and fast, the men tore loose
aud ran around the corner, with several
shots after them. George Bncking'
ham. who was shooting at the robbers,
was shot and killed. While he was
down the robbers shot at him several
times.
City Marshal Mnckley, who was
shooting at another robber, received
Winchester ball in the bowels. The
ball glanced from some silver dollars
he had in his pocket, which may save
his life. J. w. Mcqueen, saloon
keeper. ran out in the alley aid was
shot, and 1t is thought MORALLY
wounded. Charles S. Leonard was
walking through the courthouse yard
and was shot in the left hand. Deputy
Will Stevens was not hurt, though he
stood at short range and killed one of
the robbers. The bankers all escaped
unhurt. The robbers who stood guard
in the alley would yell at everyone who
came in sight and shot at them in
stantly.
The body of the dead robber was
identified as George Bennett, a reck-
less fellow who had been here some
months ago and married the daughter
of respectable farmer living near this
place, but left her and went to Indian
territory.
A posse was soon in pursuit and when
last heard of was only Is miles behind
them. The bank officers offer $500 fol
their arrest, dead or alive, and the
citizens added $500.

PLAN TO Alo NICARAGUA CANAL.

MIR. Bryan Proposes to Buy go, 600, 900
and Issue Greenbacks Therefor.
WASHINGTON, May GA plan for the
completion of the Nicaragua canal by
this government by new system of
laundering has been introduced in the
house by the author, Representative
Bryan, of Nebraska. While some of
the features of Senator Morgan's pro-
ject are repeated great innovation is
brought forward by provisions intended
to increase the circulating medium of
the country by paying for the stock of
the canal company BY an issue of legal
tender notes modelled after the green
backs of 1862. The plan is designed so
as to meet with favor from the anti
bond men.
According to the bill the stock of the
canal company is to consist of l ZOO, 900
shares of 500 each, for which legal
United States notes, identical in char
acter with those issued under the act
of Feb. IS, 1862, are to be issued, re-
deemable to the same extent and in the
same manner as the notes of 1862. The
secretary of the treasury is to purchase
$40, 900 of the stock of the company
and pay for it at par by the issue of the
notes described, which are to be kept
in circulation as part of the currency
of the country. Six millions of the
capital stock are to be issued to the
Nicaragua, $500, 900 to Costa Rica, and
the remaining 500, SOC, GOO is to be held
in the treasury until the government
decides whether to purchase it or per.
NIT it to be sold by subscription, except
an amount not to exceed $1,000, 900, to
be used by the company in taking mp
its outstanding stock. Provision is
made for an immediate issue of So ,OOO,-
900 as working capital, and the issue
of the remainder In quarterly install.
ments as may be necessary to carry on
the work of construction.

report to IT, Boatner subcommittee
which Investigated the matter OF the
injunction by Judge jenkins. A rese'
letion will forthwith be submitted say
ing that the house disapproves OF the
action of Judge jenkins ard holding
that he exec eded his power in enjoin'
ing railroad men from striking. Two
bills were drawn to carry into ef1ct the
sub.Committe recommendation re-
gardiug compulsory lobor, which are as
follows:
"Your committee recommends that
all possible doubt as to the power OF
Judges of the courts of the United
States to enforce the specific perform
ance of labor contracts by legal pro-
cess, or to compel person to render
involuntary, service under any pretext'
be set at rest by prohibitory statute"
The second hill will De in accordance
with this recommendations:
"The power to punish for contempt
is limited by the laws of most OF the
states, and we see no reason why IKE
limitation should no be placed on the
powers of federal Judges"
Representative Bailey OF Texas a
member of the judiciary committee,
thinks the report of the Boatner sub
committee does not recommend SUI
fciently effective action. He thinks
Judge jenkins should be impeached.
He reserves the right to propose I'M
parchment proceedings if he should
conclude they were the only effective
form of procedure in the case.

Average Life of Physicians.

One of the most curious statistical rec
ords that have been compiled this century
is that by DR.. Salzmann of Essling, Wurt-
tembcrg, on the average duration of life
among physicians. He found, ON going
over the ancient records of the kingdom,
that in the sixteenth century the average
duration of life among that class was but
80. years; in the seventeenth century, 10. s;
in the eighteenth, 1913, and 1T the present
time they reach the favorah age of 90,
1t appears from the footnOtes to the above
that this very great increase in longevity
is due to the disappearance of the black
pest, the introduction of vaccination foI
smallpox and the great diminution in the
number of typhus epidemics, three classes
of diseases which formerly decimated the
medical practitioners.

Good for Other Workers Too.

There are ruts and there are rails.
A plowman who always plows up the
same furrow is not much of success
as a pillow man, but an engineer who
runs his engine off the track at dan.
gerous curve is still less of success as
an engineer. 1t is a great thing to
know the difference between rut and
and rail, and no Sundays chool super
intendent is fully qualified for his office
until he has attained to that knowledge.
Every superintendent ought to be fully
persuaded in his own mind as to what
are the thit gs which ought to be run
on rails in his school, and what are the
things which ought not to De run in
ruts. And he must see to it that, in
his anxiety to prevent the school from
running in ruts, he does not end by
running the schools off the rails. =
