the Mountains.
GORDON, Tex, Oct. 19.-No. 8 west
bound passenger on the Texas Il Pacific,
due at Gordon at 1916 p. M. and about
on time, was robbed by four men today,
few minutes before noon, three miles
west of Gordon. The train being
stopped at such all unusual place,
j. w. Cooper. of Gordon. spraug
off OH the north side to learn the
cause of detention. He was greeted by
a gruff command to get back on the
train. Believing 1t the joke of an ac-
quaintance he answered with laugh,
but Immediately the robbers enforced
their command by leveling two long
guns on Cooper. Any further Interrupt
tion to their plans was prevented by
occasional shots along the sides of the
train. The safe of the Pacific
express car contained the money
in transit for Thurber with which the
Texas Pacific Coal company are to pay
their employees tomorrow. The robbers
having captured the section gang,
tagged the train and forced d. l..
Locksby, section foreman, 10 enter the
express car and knock off the cUmbina-
ton of the safe but even then failed to
open it and succeeded in making bnt
light haul. No one was hurt. Cooper
thinks that the robbery could have been
prevented if one or two of the paSSen-
gers had been armed with sh0tguns and
had resisted.
The robbers we're medium sized, well
dressed, and left towards the south.
There was no pursuit. The point at
which the train was stopped is just at
the foot of the CLAYTON mountains ABOUT
two miles east of the place at which an
east-bound train was robbed a few
years ago.

Book.
Skaffaren. the great Swedish weekly
published in St. Paul. is having great
sport these days with its contemporary,
Svenska Folkets Tidning, for its IRA
tional championship of the candidacy Of
5. nj. Owen.-M Journal.
Viewed in the light of the two first
paragraphs cited above, the announce
ment made by the Journal is indeed re-
markable. 1t shows. however, that the
state dairy commissioner is now
supporting the Republican ticket
straight from top to bottom, some
thing that this 'great Swedish weekly"
was not accustomed to do in previous
campaigns. In fact, when Gov. Nell
son selected Mr.. Anderson for dairy
commissioner the loyal workers among
the Swedish Republicans OF this city
entered Il strong protest, citing the pc
culiar political record OF Skaffaren.
To the Swedish voters OF the state
Skaffaren will appear very weak Off
set for the ridning, the P0sten and the

the Journal TO discover that Col. Soren
Listoe's Nordyesten is in line for Gov.
Nelson. This is quite as remarkable as
is the position of Skatfaren.

UNCLE SAM THE VICTIM.
Alleged Stamp Thieves on Trial at
Washington.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-William B
Smith and George W. Longstreet were
given a hearing today on a charge of
stealing SO, 100 two cent stamps from
the bureau of engraving aud printing.
The stolen stamps were identified by
other employees of the department..
Harry Lionel Brown and George
Harer have been arrested in New York
for completely in the robbery. On Sept.
"a Smith, Longstreet and man named
Beach went to New York and placed
$1,000 stamps in the hands of Brown
and Harer for sale. New York off GERS
say that when Beach is found the
whole conspiracy will have been un-
earthed.
The theft was discovered through the
report of shortage in a consignment
of stamps to the postmaster at Ionia,
Mich. At the hearing today the wit
ness could not say whether the Ionia,
Mich, consignment had been handled
by the defendants.
Judge Miller committed the defend
ants for the grand jury, saying that the
cases showed how easy 1t was to rob
the government and also to find people
to buy stolen goods. Bail was fixed at
$1,000 each, which the prisoners were
unable to give. Witness Seymour, to
whom Judge Miller referred as a ''con-
federate," was placed under $500 bonds
to insure his appearance before the
grand jury.

SHARKS SHOULD BE TAXED.
HeatwoIe Expresses Himself on
the Income Tax.

the Income Tax.
Joel B. Heatwole is in favor OF an in
come tax. but he wants one that will
not hit the farmers who make s, 1000.
HIS remarks on this subject are SO de-
Iightfully ridiculous that they are worth
reproducing from the Minneapolis Jour
nal report of his Waconia speech:
According to the present income law
the Democratic congressman favor tax
ing the producer. am in favor of
having such an income tax as will reach
the plutocrat and non producing indi-
vidual and make him contribute to the
support OF the government. MAINTAIN
that the man who earns $1,000 by the
sweat of lis brow or by his genius
should not be subject to such an iniqui-
tous tax. Let the non-producer, the
shark, the monopolist and the trust be
taxed. The ayowed object of income
tax is to tax the rich. but under the
present law, which has been placed
upon the statute books bv Democratic
congressman, the largest life insurance
companies III the United States. whose
profits to stockholders and officers
amount to millions annually, 20 un-
taxed. The farmer is not even allowed
to deduct from his $4,000. if he has that
much income, the food he consumes,
and certain banking and fiduciary con-
Germs pay 10 income tax whatever.

NELSON'S BRUTALITY.
His Disgraceful Fist Fight of Two
Years Ago Recalled.

"Has Gov. Nelson lost his head?"
asks the Winona Herald In all editorial
that will call to mind the disgraceful
manner in which Gov. Nelson forgot
himself at Elbow Lake two years ago.
and, leaving the platform. proceeded to
slug an unoffending Norwegian who
had dared to ask King Kuute question.
The Herald editorial reinfOrces the alle-
CATION that Nelson is quick tempered,
brutal individual, who would rule with
hand of iron if he dared. This edi-
torial follows:
Stands for Plutocrats.
Has Gov. Nelson lost his head? This
question is pertinent from reports that
come to his antics on the stump in this
campaign. 1t has been matter of
common knowledge that he is the figure
head of the plutocratic Republicans of
the state, who ride rouglI-shOd over the
common people, and parcel out the Of
fees and stealings among themselves,
but we had supposed him to retain the
manners of gentleman. This is
denied, and in an article predicting his
defeat, the Minneapolis Penny Press
says among other prophetic signs is the
disjointed, undignitied and sometimes
'frantic speeches" made by the COVER
nor. If reports can be relied upon at
all, if the words of reputable men are to
be taken. then Gov. Nelson should be
called home by the Republican commit
Tee and not permitted to do any more
public work as campaigner.
Sinipie-Naind ed Farmers.
1t is boldly asserted that while talk
ing to the farmers of Southern Mime
sofa the governor assured them that
they are ''simple-minded" and wholly
incapable of understanding industrial
propositions and financial theories, and
only capable of .'planting potatoes and
raising corn" In another town, and
before reputable audience, he invites
criticism. Invites Interrogation, and
when even lady asks civil question,
tell her that ''if she were lady
she would hold her tongue" Still
in another city he uses Ian
guage with reference to the
unrest which has afflicted the people
for the last two pears in such way as
to permit vulgar and improper inter-
pretation. Other occasions, when the
governor has not been careful nor
choice in his language, have been re-
ported, but tue details need not be
given here.
In all probability this addle-headed
tool of the money power will fnd out
when the votes are counted that the
common people are not SO "simple
minded" as to vote for their traducer. =

A PAIR OF CANDIDATES.
Republican Gubernatorial Nominees In
California and Vermont

Morris NJ. Estce the Republican candi-
date for governor of California, was first
brought prominently before the country
when he was selected as presiding officer
of the national convention of his party at
Chicago in 1883. He had been very prom
inent in California politics for years and
had been speaker of the legislature and
twice an unsuccessful candidate for gov
ernOr.
Though a fluent speaker in the court
room, Mr. Estee has a singular knack of
saying the wrong thing in the right place
everywhere else. When he called at In
dianapols to apprise President Elect Har-
rison of the action Of the convention, he is
reported to have said:
When the convention began its pro
ceedings, you were unthought Of and your
name unhcard "
His fellow committeeman were thunder
struck, and one Of them nudged Estee,
who paused, smiled and said, No, l did
not mean that, SO I'll start again" The
