MENACE WANTS TO RETURN
AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM A
FUGITIVE GUARANTY
PRESIDENT.
SAYS HE FLED TO ESCAPE DEATH
OR THE LUNATIC ASY-
LUM.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 22.-The Jour
nal prints to-day a letter from Louis F.
Menage, the fugitive president of the
Northwestern Guaranty Loan Company
explaining his series of large transactions
which ultimately led to the 'company's
failure. The letter is not dated, and it is
explained that it was written to personal
friend in Minneapolis. Menage goes into
the history OF the company's real estate
transactions in Minneapolis, Seattle, Ellens-
burg, Wash, North Galveston, Tex, Great
Falls, Helena Mont, and Chicago at great
length, and explains how most of them
would have been profitable if the times
had continued prosperous. He contends
that no one has suffered more from the
failure than he has himself
Explaining his fight he declares that to
stay meant death or the insane asylum,
according to the advices of his physicians.
He was physical and mental wreck and
unequal to the task of Strengthening out
the affairs of the company. The purpose
of the letter becomes evident when Menage
declares his belief that if allowed to assist
in settling up the affairs of the company
he could save very much more for the
creditors than any one else and could at
the end pay all the claims, not only
against the company but against himself.
He is anxious to undertake this work on
salary simply sufficient to support his
family. To accomplish this he says that
the criminal suits against him should be
continued until the work is done. He is
confident of his ability to prove his entire
innocence, but believes that the trial of the
cases would interfere with the profitable
settlement of the company's affairs. Con-
sequently he asks that the cases be con-
tinued until after this work is done,
period which he estimates would cover five
years, and then tried. 1t is not known
what action the county law officers will
take in the premises, but it is already
assured that the creditors of the company
will fare better than was supposed when
the crash first came

NOTHING FOR THEIR PAINS.
THREE MEN STOP THE WEST
BOUND FRISCO TRAIN NEAR
AURORA,
BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO
OPEN THE SAFE IN THE
EXPRESS CAR.

AURORA, Mo-, Feb. 22.-'Frisco train No.
1, west-bound, Conductor Wightman and
Engineer Stephenson, due here at 1926
P. NJ, was held up two and half miles
east of this city tonight.
Three men boarded the train at Martins
vile, five miles east of Aurora, getting on
the blind baggage. When about half the
distance between that place and Aurora,
they crawled over the tender and cover
ing the engineer and his fireman with re-
volvers, commanded them to stop the
train.
Then they were marched backed to the
express-car, one of the robbers telling the
captives that if they did not break in the
express-car door, both of them would be
shot. The door was soon opened and the
robbers made a search for the express
messenger, but did not succeed in finding
him, as he had made his escape through
the door in the rear of the car, locking it
after him. After making a thorough
seach Of the car and not finding anything
and not having anything with which to
open the SAFE the bandits escorted the
engineer and fireman back to the engine
and disappeared in the darkness, firing
several shots as they went, which were
answered by the conductor and brakeman.
There is great excitement here and a
posse is being organized to search for the
outlaws. The crew on the train is the
same one that was held up couple of
months ago, about eight miles west of
here.

spects ridiculous. He urged that con-
certed action be taken to modify them.

tual Insurance Company, talked on the
question of cooperative insurance and adj
vocated its adoption by publishers. The

ISOLATION MEETING.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 22-One hun
dred and fifty members of the National
Reform Press Association met here to-day
for the purpose of considering questions
looking to the advancement of the princi-
pies advocated by the Populist party.
There is very turbulent and aggressive
spirit manifested among several of the
delegates.
The day up to 1 o'clock this afternoon
was spent in considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF establishing national news bureau in
Kansas City. At that time no decision
had been reached and the matter was re-
ferred to a committee Of five for considera-
ton and report.
As predicted in these dispatches, there
is a row on between the present officers of
the Peoples party and some of the dele
gates to to-day's meeting. DR.. S. c. Nc
Clallin, editor of the Advocate of Topeka,
kans., has put on war paint and has made
threats that unless the Peoples party man
ayers come around to his way of thinking
he proposes to create disturbance within
the ranks which may have the effect of
disrupting the present organization. Nc
Clallin charges that there is an effort on to
betray the party into the hands of enc
mics.
Hon. H. E. Taubeneck, the chairman of
the Peoples party national organization,
has sent an ultimatum all the way from
Washington, setting forth his views as to
how the party should be managed and
threatening that unless these are carried
out he will resign his present position.
Carl Browne is on the ground strongly adj
vocating Jacob Coxey for the Presidential
nomination by the Peoples party in 1896.

About 100 members of the organization,

The organization is composed of active

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Statist says the

not act properly gold will go to a premium
and disappear from circulation. This will
be followed by panic in Wall street and
the money market business will be par
