 Chicago and Grand Rapids.
THE OTHER WAS OUT IN NEBRASKA
In the First Instance the Bandits Used Dy- namite and Blew Open an Empty Safe. While In the Latter the Train Was Loot ed In Jesse James Style.

ed In Jesse James Style.
 GRAND RAPIDS Mich, Aug. 21.-The fast express known as the flyer on the Chicago and West Michigan road, leaving Chicago at 3 o'clock and arriving here at 10:40, was held up by five men in piece of woods just before crossing the kalama- zoo river at 9 o'clock last night.
 The train was Jagged by swinging Q white light across the track, and when it stopped Conductor E. E. Rice of this city stepped out on the platform of the bag gage car, and, seeing two of the robbers, asked, Whats the mattcr?" The reply was two shots from their revolvCrs. At the same time other shots were fired into two men climbed on the engine and or dered the engineer and fireman to set the brakes and keep quiet.
 When the train stopped the brakeman, Timothy Murphy of this city, jumped off the rear platform and started back with d lantern, as required by the rules. Tho fifth robber, standing alongside the coach, fired three shots at tho brakeman, one of which hit him in the side, struck a rib md glanced out, making a serious flesh wound. He dropped into the ditch, where he remained until the robbers had gone
 Robbers Used Dynamite.
 Conductor Rice, after a bullet whizzcd past his head, retreated to the baggage car and threw his pocketbook over behind the trunks. Without demanding admis- sion, the robbers placed dynamite under the side door, blew it off and sprang into the car with the remark, ''We want all you've got herc.'
 They ordered the conductor, baggage man and express messenger to throw up their hands and went through their pock- ets, taking all except the watches. They then tackled tho safe and blew it open in less than 30 seconds. It contained no val uables. Tho messenger, having gone out In the afternoon, was returning on a ''dead" trip. They took watches from the engineer and fireman, but when tho con ductor said he would need his watch it was handed back to him, and saying good night the robbers took to tho woods The passongers--42 of thcm-were not mo tested.
 To make sure of a halt ties had been piled on the track half length of where the engine stopped. The baggage car was not disabled, and the train proceeded.
 The trainmen cannot give a good de- Scription of the robbers. The leader was 3 heavy man, who wore full beard, and another was dressed like n farmer

Still Deeper In Debt.

Contrary to the predictions of the
Government officials the Treasury
receipts for March again fall below
the expenditures. The excess of
expenditures over receipts for the
nine months of the present fiscal
year (the Washington dispatches
saw is over $50, 100000, and this
amount will almost certainly be in
creased during April by $5,O00,OOO
or more, which will make a total
deficit of about S42, 900, 900 on May

ever great things are expected
but the most conservative
estimates now place the deficit

Maryland's Arbor DAY. W

BY the proclamation ofrtr
Brown TODAY has been set apart as
Aroor Day in Maryland. The day
will be generally observed bYinter-
esting exercises at the Tarious
schools, in which the planting of
trees will be the principle feature
The more the people become accus-
toned to this day and understand
its Importance, the more generally
its observance is entered into
1t was in Ohio that the schools
first made it day of special obser
vance. The teachers and pupils
regarded it with great favor, and
instead of planting trees as screens
from the wind and for wood alone.
they also planted them for orna-
mental purposes and as memorials
of prominent authors, statesmen,
historians, etc. Thus the tree
planting gained literary aspect,
and an additional interest for all
classes, both old and young.
In preparation for it the pupils
of the schools have become inter-
ested in the study of trees, their
origins, peculiaritles, character
istlcs and uses. They have leaned
the histories of celebrated trees and
of persons connected with them.
They have become familiar with the
lives of eminent persons, and the
best writings of distinguished gu
thors, and they have receiver MIST
valuable instruction. At the same
time, their finer tastes have been
cultivated and the land beautifed
with the trees they have planted.
Since the observance of the day
has been modified into its present
form, thirty seven states have
adopted it. Its every way health
full and desirable features have also
so generally commended it that it
has gained foothold abroad, and
is now observed to some extent in
England, Scotland, France, Ger
many, and even in far-off Africa
and Australia. 1t has become pre-
eminently school day and school
festival, which, owing to its increas-
ing popularity, bids fair to be in a
few years observed by every school
on the civilized globe.
The Importance of tree planting
will be appreciated when 1T is known
that at the present rate of con-
sumption our forests will soon be

prominent and respectable Demo
cratic journals in Tennessee have
declared that he was entitled to the
Governors chair, and have denoun-
ced the Democrats who have cheated
him out of it as conspirators and
thieves. But neither the laws, the
opposition of the decent members of
their own party, nor the practical
certainty that their revolutionary
course would result in decisive
Republican victory in Tennessee at
the next election have restrained
the ruling Democratic element.
With the assistance of the Demo
cratic Legislature they have
dispatched Democratic committees
to various portions of the State to
act as returning boards, with in
structions to pretend to discover
sufficient Irregularities to nullify
several thousand Repu blican ballots.
This despisable work is being car
ried on with great zeal, and the
tricksters who have theA les etivs
and executive machi.-evssssess,c ,sSrsas
in their hands are makingfaepara-
tons to count Turneyin by a fraud
ulent and arbitrarily Manufactured
majority" of from four to six
thousand votes.
The Tennessee outrage is not. by
any means an exceptional instance.
There is respectable element in
the Democracy, built is always
overruled by the corrupt bosses and
their degraded and ignorant fol-
lowers. For third Of century
the Democratic party North and
South, has systematically commit
ted crimes against the ballot.
Where ballot box stufing and false
counting have not bten sufficient,
intimidation and murder have been
used to keep Republicans away from

the polling places. Tie Democrats
of Tennessee can truthtully say that
they are no worse than their fellow
partisans in many other States.
The Democracy is condemned by its
own record as the partyo of fraud, of
political thieyery and Of deliberate
treason against the franchise. Its
incurable corruption and trickery
alone furnish sufficient reason for
defeating it in every enlightened
and progressive American common
wealth.

MarYland'S Health.

DR.. James A. Stewart, secretary
of the State board of health, makes
an excellent showing in his quarterly
report as to the health of the State
and says he regrets that the vital
statistics of the whole State cannot
be obtained, as they would, he thinks,
prove the best advertisement of the
State that could be published.
"Mary land'', he says, sis I'M
doubtedly blessed with one of the
most salubrious and hoalthful eli
mates to be found on this continent.

come bad reputation, and that

denuded of their best and most
useful trees, if nothing is done to
offset their complete humiliation.
Professor Sargent, who undertook
few years ago to ascertain the con-
dItion of our forests, estimated the
yearly value of the forest products,
such as lumber, fuel, etc, at $780,
600, 900, but their yearly value now
is nearer 81, 00O,0OO,OOO, showing
the vast drain increasing yearly on
the forests.
1t is estimated that the consump-
ton of sawn lumber alone in the
United States last year was 80, OOO,-
100000 square feet.
Even to supply the little and un-
thought-of things in daily use the
destruction of trees is enormous.
A toothpick, for instance, is little
thing-the merest sliver-yet it is
reported that one factory alone uses
over 10000 cords of wood annually
in the manufacture of these little
splints.
+ Shoe pegs are small affairs, yet a
single factory sends 1000 bushels
of them to Europe every year, be-
sides the vast number used in home
consumption.
A spool is tossed away as useless
after the thread has been unwound
yet there are a dozen factories in
the United States using from l, 800
to $500 cords of wood a year in
their manufacture.
A match is most insignificant
thing, yet one factory alone uses
$4,000 square feet of the best pine
lumber every day in filing its
orders.
Then there are the gums, the
resins, the banks, the roots and the
vast number of other useful things
that the forest produces, such as
gutta percha, india rubber, pitch,
turpentine, dye woods. ETC., making
the vast woods indispensable in
value. Hence the benefits of Arbor
Day and the inestlmable value it
will proveis easily seen.

Where Protection Proved Injurious

where PrOt6CtlOn Proved Injurious.
There is no improvement in the
tin plate trade and great distress
exists throughout South Wales. A
correspondent, writing to one of the
Welsh daily papers, says: "Factory
after factory is closed, and the rea-
sons are not far to seek. American
consumption has fallen off by about
one-third Of its normal quantity.
and not only this, it threatens ul.i-
mately to do without the famous
Welsh product. 1t is no good
looking to the States for all our sup
port; we must have more strings to
the bow. The United States have
now laid the foundations for tin
plate industry of their own. 1t is
true that it is only yet in its infancy
but there is little doubt that it will
grow, until ultimately they will be
able to supply their own demands,
if not be able to go into open
market. Tile Iron Trade Circular

When the Mckinley bill was un-
der consideration the Cjrcu7ar told
the American stockholders of the
Welsh tin plate works that they
"must work and work hard' against
it. Their work was useless with
McKlnley's committee, and all that
the German bill did for them can
not save the American market to
the tender mercies of the Welsh mo-
nOpolists.

The Municipal Election.

On Monday next the citizens of
Oakland will be called upon to Sc
lect by ballot three councilmen to
serve for a term of two years.
Last year the main issue was
improvements.
Non-improvement won, and we
are free to say that that idea has
been predominant in the work of
the corporation during the past
year.
Practically nothing of a perma-
nent character has been done to-
wards improving the town.
Whether this has been through
lack of means or a determination to
emphasize the victory of non-im-
provement we cannot say.
That Oakland needs "fxing up"
even the bitterest opponent of i'm
proyement will admit.
That the town has not been
"fixed up is patent to all,
The question now is, what sort of
men shall we select for the Council.
Shall we put in live, active, ener-
getic business men, or will we select
persons who will make no effort to
advance the interests of the town.
We believe that our citizens as a
rule desire to see Oakland advance.
We trust that this sentiment will
predominant on Monday next and
the election result in the choice of
men who will push the town along. !
