There is nothing one should kill quicker

either one to discuss the peculiarities of

WHAT ABOUT THE PROSPERITY

a Times reporter on yesterday in con-
versation with a railroad man learned
that the Norfolk and Western had cut the
wages of the overhaulers on the Bluefield
yard ten per cent. This is bad omen
for our promised prosperity" The
story is also being circulated that the Big
-Four road has notified the engineers and
trainmen on its lines that their wages
would be reduced 10 per cent. This looks
bad, if it be true, for the railroad men
whom Mr.. ingalls,, the president of the
Big Four, told how to vote.

POpuIist Address.

Washington, Sept. San address to
the people was issued today from popu-
list headquarters. 1t declares the peo-
pies party is the champion of the
masses who labor and produce wealth.
Bryan and Watson, it declares, are the
"true cooperative ticket for the silver
votes of all parties"
1t is pointed out that the peoples party
forced the democratic party to turn
down the Cleveland administration and
adopt the principles of the peoples party
nd as the action of the democratic
party in the future is uncertain, all citi-
zens who believe in government as ad-
ministered by Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln are urged to uPbuild and
strengthen the peoples party.
The address closes with an appeal for
contributions of 81 to the campaign
fund from every individual able and
willing to contribute. 1t declares the
peoples party will not accept contribu-
tons from monopolists, as party which
accepts funds from monopolists and
trusts mortgages itself to them and must
do their bidding.
Members of the peoples party are
urged to raise subscriptions and forward
TO NJ. c. Rankin, treasurer, Terre Haute,
Ind, and notify the national chairman
at Washington of the amount for

HELD UP A FARO BANK
Daring Exploit by Robbers at

seven Hundred DOIIars-HaIf the
Amount Offered for Their Capture.

PocatelIo. Ida, Sept. 9.-At 2:3o this
morning, the Board of Trade saloon and
gambling house on Railroad avenue was
held up and the faro game robbed eff
$736. The robbery was committed by
two men. One of them, the larger of
the two, had for several minutes pre-
vious to the robbery been playing the
music box and attracted the attention of
the fifteen or twenty men who were in
the saloon at the time, and when they
were punched around the box the small
Ter re two robbers moved towards
the faro table, revolver in hand and
covered the dealer, "Doc" Stephenson,
with request to hand over the sack,
which was promptly done. After Sc
curing the coin, he slowly backed out of
the rear door, followed by his partner,
who, in the meantime, had compelled
the crowd, together with the barkeeper,
Phil Hanak, to throw up their hands.
Stephenson had stopped dealing and
had just counted and deposited the cash
in a sack, preparatory to closing the
game for the night, when the hold-up
occurred. Both men had been noticed
around town during the day, and had
several drinks together at the bar short
ly before the robbery, but excited no
suspicion. They wore no masks. 1t is
considered one of the most daring rob-
berries ever committed in the west. The
of the Board of Trade, Ste
phenson & Hanak, Immediately offered
of the stolen money as re-
ward for the capture of the robbers, but
no clue has yet been obtained.

The Pearl Bryan Murderers Pre-
pared 90 Escape.

Cincinnati, o., Sept. IA negro pris-
oner named Walker was scare he'd las
night by turnkey in the Covington
jail, and a 3S-calibre revolver was found
in his pocket Walker occupied a cell
adjoining the ones in which Jackson
and Walling, the Pearl Bryan murderers
are confined. The jailer suspected a
plot TO break Jail and ordered the cells
searched. In Walling's cell half a
dozen saws were found. Both Walling
and Jackson protest their innocence but
the jailers think the plot was to have
been carried out at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, when only two men would have
been on guard.
A search of Jackson's cell this after
noon disclos d two fine steel saws hid
den between the sole and lining of an
extra pair of tan shoes which belonged
to the prisoner. The revolver found in
Walkers pocket has been identified as
one owned by Walling before his arrest.
A rigid investigation will be made as to
how it got into Walkers possession.
