A REMARKABLE robbery occurred
on Ashland Boulevard, a fashionable
promenade in Chicago, Saturday
night, the 7th. AS j. w. Sheridan,
a wealthy brewer, was walking home
at O'Clock three men stopped him
in the dusk, two holding revolvers
against his body and the third taking
from his person a gold watch, $500
in cash and 5000 pin. Several of
Sheridan's friends passed during the
" hold up" saying "good evening""
and hereplying cheerfully, but afraid
TO make any cutlery. The friends
thought he was talking to the three
men on business.

NO SENATOR IN KENTCCKY.-Thp
Legislature Of Kentucky adjourned
sine die on Tuesday without electing
I. >. Senator to succeed Mr.. Black
burn. Last week the Republicans,
who have the majority in the House
of Delegates, turned out one of the
Democratic members, but the Re-
publican they wanted to seat in his
place refused to qualify and returned
to his home. In the Senate the
Democrats have the majority, and in
return for the action of the House
they promptly threw out two Re-
publican Senators. This action of
the two bodies produced great strife
and confusion, so that Gov. Bradley,
fearing bloodshed, called out a regi.
ment of State troops and stationed
them about the State House and
grounds To preserve the peace
Many bitter speeches were made on
both sides, the Democrats condemn.

action of the Governor. Fortunately

we have said, adjourned without q

The Ohio State Republican Con.
Vention assembled at Columbus, on
the 18th instant, and gave Mckinley
grand boost for the nomination for
the Presidency. SenatOr-el Jos.
b. Foraker, who has not been
friendly to Mckinley, was induced
to preside, and he, Gov. Bushnell,
Gen. GrosvenOr and Mark Hanna
were appointed delegates at large to
the st. Louis Convention, and in
structed to work for the nomination
OF Ohio's favorite son, VIM. McKin-
ley, champion Of high protection,
and late Governor of the State.
AS we anticipated the Convention
did not have the courage to face the
real question now before the people
and to say whether or not it favored
the free coinage Of silver at the pres
ent legal ratio. On the contrary, it
lodged the question and adopted a
resolution on the money issue which
every voter may construe TO suit
himself, Here it is:
We contend for honest money
Tor currency Of gold, silver and pa
per with which to measure our OK
change that shall be as sound as the
government and as untarnished as its
honor, and to that end we favor BIZ
metalism and demand the use Of both
gold and silver as standard money

to be fixed by an international agree.

OF the PARTIES of value of the two
metals, so that the purchasing and

whether of silver, gold c. paper,
shall be at all times equal"
How can silver be a standard
money unless it be freely coined :?
Did that Convention favor the free
coinage of silver? We presume not,
but on that question, now the real is

cans Of the Buckeye State are silent

Republican paper of Ohio, says {:

J. II. JONES DEAD.

Truly in the midst of life, we
are in death" On Sunday MI. J..
NJ. Jones was able to walk about
his home, aud none of his family
dreamed that ere another "a hours
rolled around he would be dead, yet
such was the case.
He was reported very sick in the
columns of this paper yesterday,
and last night he died, the cause
we learn was heart failure. Mr.,
Jones has been citizen of this city
and vicinity for the past 20 years,
being engaged in the saw mill busi-
ness near this city. He has been an
active Mason, belong to the Knight
Templars degree. He will have a
Masonic burial this afternoon, the
Blue Lodge taking charge of the
body while the Knight Templars will
act as an escort. He will be buried
in the Masonic burial ground on
State Line Avenue.
Mr.. Jones was a good citizen, and
those who knew him best have
naught to say against his name,
We say peace to his ashes,

Aboard Ship.

Sea voyage are usually deemed
promotlve of health. So they are in
most cases. But it may well be
doubted if the shaking up aboard
ship, which people OF very fragile
constitution and weak nerves get,
is not prejudicial if its effects are
not averted or nullified by medi-
cinal safeguard. The best, if we are
to believe the testimony Of ocean
travellers, whether they go abroad
for health, pleasure or business
iS Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, ln-
valids, commercial travellers, sea
captains and yatchmen concur in
recommending this fine defensive
tonic SO do emigrants to the
frontier, the inhabitants of malari-
Gus regions, and all who are ex-
posed to hardship or rigors of cli-
mate. For malarial, rheumatic or
kidney trouble, nervousness, dyspep-
sia, liver complaint and constipa-
tion it is eminently efI1cacious, and
commended by the medical frater-
nifty far and near.

SENATOR MILLS IDEA,
He Believes in Going the Whole hog
or None in the Cuban Matter.

The United States Senate has
been quibbling for the past ten
days over the Cuban belligerency
matter and. yesterday Rodger @
Mills of Texas introduced resolu-
tion that is the proper method of
dealing with the subject. Here
it is: .--
"Be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assem-
bled, that the President of the
United States is hereby directed to
request the government of Spain
to authorize the people of Cuba
subject to the sovereignty of Spain
to institute such local government
as they may wish and invest it with
such power as they may think nee
essary to secure to the People OF
Cuba the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
section 2.-In case Spain shall
refuse to grant to the inhabitants
of Cuba the rightful power of self
government, then the President Of
the United States is hereby re-
quested to take possession OF the
island of Cuba with the military
and naval forces of the United
States and hold the same until the
people of Cuba can organize a gov
ernment deriving its just powers
from the consent of the governed
and arm and equip such military
forces as may be necessary to pro-
tect them from invasion.
The Senator gave notice that he
would speak on the resolutions to
day. We may look for fun yet il
this Cuban affair.

down trodden Cubans or tell then

Col. James Aiken, General Super
intendent OF the Pacific Express
Company died at Dallas, Texas,
yesterday afternoon. The Colonel
was at one time a citizen OF this
city, and was well and favorablT
known here. He was Ga years old
the time of his death; leaves two
children to mourn his loss, Charles
Akin, Division Superintendent of
the company, with head quarters
here, and a daughter, Mrs. Fannie
Van Meter of Denver, Colorado. We
offer our condolence to son and
daughter, in their great loss.

request, 'Jack O'Diamonds." Also
that they would give away on Sat
urday night a silver pitcher, in
stead of a gold watch, as hereto
fore. The Sp0oners have made a
record here for drawing large
houses, having given our people
when this weeks engagement is
tnished-three solid weeks of
nightly performances, and all to
crowded houses. This shows what
cheap prices will do for the man
aSement of a theatre. OF course
We dc not mean that all companies
should make prices as low as thirty
cents, but we think SOC, 75c and
$1.OO is plenty for any troupe to
charge that has ever filled a date
here. If this scale OF prices was
followed out the opera house would
always be filled.

Little Rock last year were 2O,OOO
bales less than in 1894, but the
price obtained for it by the pro-
ducers was 81, 900, 900 more. Other
cotton markets throughout the
country netted about ds great a
