THESE GOT GOLD.
Bold Bandits Hold Up Train in
California.

California.
The Coastbound overland train, due
at Sacramento, CAL, Friday night, was
held up 10y two masked men about six
miles below the city. The robbers,
armed with revolvers, compelled the
engineer and fireman to accompany
them to the express car, where Mes
senger Page was told that if he did
not open the doors the engineer and
fireman would he shot Page how
ever, at first attempted resistance
and fired twice, but, fearing
that the trainmen would be killed,
he let the bandits in the car, where
they secured four bags of gold, con-
tanning about 81, 800. The robbers
then uncoupled the engine and after
running it toward the city short dis
tance, reversed it and jumped off,
making their escape. The engine ran
into the uncoupled train but as the
, steam had run low, no damage was
done.

THE DECISION REVERSED,
And O'Brien Can BE Tried for EN-
bezZlement.

A Chattanooga dispatch says Last
spring The county circuit court
quashed the indictment against NJ. J.
O'Brien, ex-supreme court chancellor
of the Catholic Knights of America,
for the embezzlement of SIS, 900 from
that order The decision OF the court
was based on the Tennessee statute
which denies legal redress to corpora
tions not having an abstract of charter
granted in the state. Tuesday the
Tennessee supreme court, sitting
at Knoxville, reversed this decision
and made OBricn liable to criminal
prosecution pending the examination
of authorities cited by Mr., 0'Rrisn' .

The Girl That Blooms in summer.

ut III Ihat DtuVHtS III
This is sweltering summer. 1t
brings many bodily discomforts.
Collars wilt, brows drip, tempers
sizz, and the whole system says and
becomes soggy. But summer more
than atopes for these torrid tortures.
1t gives us the joy-diffusing sum-
mer girl. You need not go to the
sea shore or the mountain to feast
your eyes on this living picture oi
loveliness. You can see her in the
early morning and toward the close
of the afternoon on the city's streets.
She's as gorgeous AS 4 French
water, color. Her clothes are made
up of the happiest of hues. She is
a charming sublimation of the rain
bow. And no matter what she
wears, whether it be as red as Il
lumber yard on fire in the night
time, or as white as a fake of snow,
she always appears TO be as cool as
Il cucumber and as comfortable as
All icicle on an Arctic whaling boats
yard-arm. She defies the heat and
her serenity sometimes lowers the
temperature for us. May her cheer
full charms of person and ''togs''
eve Wane.

SAM JONES On THIRD faRTyIsM
The Third Party May Get 10 Heaven
i:ut Il Never Will TO Washington.

The third party, or party of the
third part, or what ever you may
call it,may get to heaven but they'll
never get to Washington. It's not
on the way. Washington is the
wickedest place on earth. 1t is the
home of the devil. The average
Democratic aud Republican politi-
clans are little better than rascals,
but tie third party man is II fool.
You may reform a rascal but did
you ever try to monkey with a fool?
They want 10 borrow money from
the government at 2 per cent when
the government is now borrowing at
5. We hear a great deal Of fool
talk about the rich getting richer
and the poor poorer under the pres
ent law. There never was Il greater
lie and I'll prove it. There's
nothing the matter with the Law.
It's the man that's ut fault. There's
a lawyer on that side of the house
who makes twenty thousand a year.
Here's n little pettifogger who il
starving. The law is not TO blame:
Here's a physician making ten
thousand a year. There's Il little
doctor over on the other corner that
can't make his salt. The law is not
to blame. | preach nearly every
day To eight thousand people, and
here's a little preacher sitting he.
hind me that can't average two hun
dred. The trouble is not in the law,
brother, it's in your noggin.
The difference is organic. II all
the wealth in the United States we're
divided out to-day each man would
get about s1,16o.0 90 and in less than
six months some fellows would be
riding in palace cars and others
would be walking cross-ties and
bowling for another divvy.

ali Hands Went up, OF Course.

Two men were hanged in Kansas
City last Friday for beating and
choking an old woman to death
in order to get her money. On the
scaffold u Of these murderers
asked everybody present 10 meet
him in heaven and requested all who
thought they would greet him on
the celestial shore to hold up their
ha.tis. Every hand went up. The
other murderer refused 10 eat meat
because il WAS Friday, and he x
pressed himself as being, dead sure
he whniild fit straight away and ar.
rive at the golden goal without a
skip or a break. This mawkish
sentiment caught the crowd and
many wept, while the old woman
who lost her life with the hands of
those beasts upon her throat vas
not given even a passing thought.
