the robbers is dead and another in custody with two bullet holes in his body and his recovery is doubtful. At the time of the holdup, 2:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, there were four cus- toners in the bank Assistant Cashier MoCully went into the vault and when he came out the robber with the shot gun demanded that he throw up his hands. The four customers were al ready holding up their hands, so Mo Gully followed suit. One robber held up those inside the bank, the second robber went into the vault and took all the money in sight, while a third stood at the street entrance to the bank forcing passersby to hold up their hands. Word of the robbery spread through the town and when the robbers came out armed citizens opened fire. One robber was killed in stantly, a second fell, shot twice, but the third escaped all the bullets, reached his horse and rode of with the sack of coin and bills containing $2,000.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. z.-The Ameri can, of which Wharton Barker is ed- itor will this week print an editorial with the caption, Bryan or Watson, Which or Neither. in which it calls on both these gentlemen, in the inter est of the election of Bryan to with draw in order that Senator Jones may name the candidate who will be ac- ceptable to all interests.
 lMr Barker has written that Bryan is acceptable to all, but Sewall is not. Neither is Watson. We impugn neither the Americanisn of Mir. Sewall nor MT. Watson, but neither is recog nized by all parties as the man for the crisis. MT. SewaM is not acceptable to the Populists. Democrats will not take MT. Watson.
 What, then, are we to do? We an swer: Take them bolh down. Put uI a candidate acceptable !ta. all Ameri- cans. If this is done nothing can pre- vent the election of MT. Bryan by an overwhelming vote.

Blunder Which Cost the Government

The dock was, built in four parts at Ro2cas old shipyard in the early sos. and towed by two war ships to Pensacola navy yard, to be used for docking the smaller vessels of the service When an attempt was made to put it together a fatal defect was found, and whether this was due to the contractors or the designers was never asked. The dock, however. proved a failure and has been gradual " rulslng away, until now it is to be sold by the government for junk.

A PHYSICIANS CRIME.
Attemps to Kill His Wife and Her
 Alleged Paramour.

DUNCANNON, Pa, Oct. 2.-Dr. T. L. Johnston, a leading physician of this borough, made an unsuccessful attempt this afternoon to kill his wife and Dr. IA. $. Henry, a druggist living near by. Johnston called Henry into his office about 3 o'clock and charged him with intimacy with Mrs. Johnston. Before Henry could reply, Johnston pulled revolver and fired at him. Two bullets lodged in Henry's head and another in his bowels. Johnson s wife who witnessed the shooting, turned to flee when she heard the first shot. Her husband fired at her and the shot inflicted a slight flesh wound. Henry's condition is serious, and there are grave doubts as to his ul- innate recovery. Immediately after the. shooting Dr. Johnson surrendered to the borough constable, and together the two started for New Bloomfield, the county seat. When they arrived the doctor changed his mind about going to jail, and, after driving to hotel and eating a hearty supper, engaged two lawyers to defend him. A warrant was issued from here tonight charg- ing Johnston with aggravated assault and battery, and an officer left to- ar rest him. Henry has wife and four children.

Mrs. John Baumgartner suffered a peculiar and painful accident at her ranch near Challender on Wednesday morning, says the Williams News.

TERRIBLE ARKANSAS CRIME
Dead Body of Girl Found in a
 River,


 NEWPORT, Ark, Oct. 2.-The dead body of girl was recovered from the rlVer n&sar Jacksonport, about two weeks ago, and her identity until to- day was a mystery. Today it was learned that she came from Formora. Van Buren county, and that just before election day she had nineteen men ar rested for assault When the case came up her testimony was SO horrible that the officers doubted her state ment and discharged the prisoners. Since the finding of the body evidence has been unearthed which reveals the truth of her statement, and show that she was outraged and afterward mur- dered by some of the men whose arrest she had caused.

THEY WE'RE PARTNERS.
A Case Involving the Title to Mineral
 Lands.

DENVER. Oct. 2.-Judge Phillips in the United States court today over ruled the special plea interposed by John G. Quinn and S.hers through their counsel, in the case of Tyree L.. Holton against John c. Quinn. The suit grew out of dispute as to the title to lands supposed to contain lead and zinc deposits in Jasper county, Mo. The case had been submitted and the question to be decided was: Were Elijah Lloyd and John C. Quinn, CO., partners in business, and if so did the land in question belong to the part ners sc that upon the death of Lloyd the rights of possession reverted to Quinn? Lloyd had believed the land was rich in minerals, but he was poor in pocket, and so with business acu- men he had secured an option from the owner for its purchase paying $10O down, with the stipulation that the residue, between $5,000 and $6,000, should be paid within given time. Lloyd had been unable to pay the bal ance and he had made an arrangement with Quinn whereby the latter paid for the land with the understanding that in the event it should prove rich in minerals he was to receive back the money he had advanced with 10 per cent added and an undivided half in terest in the land. The court found that the contract had been complied with, that at the hime of Lloyd's death they were tenants in common in said | land and ordered Quinn to answer far
 ther before October 15, disclosing ir his answer an account of the rents re. ceived and the profits, if any.

The Strike at Leadville
 Is Postponed.
Nothing will Be Done Until Af-
 ter EIectioh.
If Bryan Is Elected 1t Is Expected the Demands Of the Miners
 will Be Conceded.

GRANVILLE, Oct. 2.-As a result of the miners union meeting last might a majority have decided to remain quiescent until after the election. If Mckinley is elected the present inten- tion is to abandon the strike. If Bryan is elected the hope is that the price of silver will be advanced and the managers at once concede all de- mands of the union.
 Notwithstanding this decision there are many conservative miners who feel sore over the delay of five weeks. while the unruly element are more az grieved over the dcision and eager to adopt radical measures at once.
 The quietness of the past two days though deemed ominous by some, is significant of more complete control by the leaders of the strikers. At the same time it is realized that spark may at any moment lead to a danger ouS explosion. Active preparations continue for the resumption of work on the Bison and other large mines The Bison will be manned with Lead. vile miners.

A Lesson in English.

Stick 10 English, my boy, stick to
English, is a wise exhortation, al
though we seldom heed it unless it
comes to us in as forcible a manner as
it is reported to have come to Frank
lin. 1t is said that Benjamin Frank
lin, the American, was not unlike
other boys in his love for big words,
and that one day he told his father
that he had swallowed some acephal-
Gus molluscs, whereupon his alarmed
parent shrieked for help The moth
er came in with warm water and
forced half gallon of it down Ben
iamin's throat, then held him upside
down, the father saying, If We don't
get those things out of Bonnie he'll be
poisoned. sure. When Benjamin
was allowed to get his breath, he ex-
planned that the articles referred to
were oysters. His father was SO in
dignant that he whipped him for
frightening the family. Franklin new
er afterwards used a word Of two syl-
tables when a monosyllable would do.

They SnoWbalIed the Fire.

The citizens Of Smithland, Ky,
adopted a novel method Of eXtinguish-
ing a fire a few days ago. 4 blaze
started in a residence, and when the i'm
promptu bucket brigade arrived at the
scene it was found that no water was
to be had, every available supply be-
ing frozen and the ground covered
with snow Finally a bright idea
struck some one in the crowd, and the
suggestion was made that the party
should use snow to subdue the flames.
The excited citizens divided, and one
company rolled up snow balls about a
foot in diameter, and passed them on
to others who heaved them over on
the rapidly consuming structure. The
house, being on a hillside, made this
an easy matter, as they secured a good
vantage ground on the hill above the
house, which rendered it an easy mat
ter to throw the snow over with accu-
racy and effect. Tomake a long story
short, the fire was extinguished before
it gained any Roadway in the main
building, and the floors in one or two
other rooms We're saved. The people
in Smithland are still talking about
how they put out the fire.

Working of the Brain.

1t is well known that each side Of
the brain is connected with the move
ments and sensations mainly on the
opposite side of the body the right
brain moves the left arm and leg, and
vice versa. Now, cases are not infre-
ouent in which, with or without "a
shock, or at least some degree of OBJ
vious loss of muscular power on the
right side of the body, the faculty Of
recalling and reproducing spoken
words is totally OF almost totally lost.
Such loss Of speech is technically call
ed aphasis 1t was first shown thirty
five years ago by a French physician
that this particular symptom is asso-
ciatcd with damage to a limited and
very definite part of the brain sub
stance on the left side which has since
been known, in honor Of Its discoyerer.
