WOMAN BANDIT.
Mrs. Crandall Blew Up the Bank
of WaterYille.
Dressed in Mems Attire She
Entered a Window
AT DEAD OF NIGHT
Placed and Fired Four Sticks
Of Dynamite.
Citizens Aroused, She Escapes
But Afterwards Captured.
AT DEAD OF NIGHT

Blue Rapids. Sept. 28.-With the cap
ture Of Mrs. CrandalI, a daughter of
Thomas Weber of Atchison, and son,
the past week, the mystery of the
Wrecking by dynamite of the WatervilIe
bank is cleared The tale reads like
a romance.
It appears from the evidence that
they bought dynamite at Manhattan
and hired a livery rig there the Sun
day previous to the explosion.
They stopped with some farmer near
Rose Hill, in Riley county, over night
and part Of the next day, arriving in
Waterville about II O'clock at night.
Mrs Crandau dressed in mems clothes,
broke into the bank about a. m,
placing four sticks of dynamite under
the safe, lighted the fuse and went out
side to await the explosion, but unfor-
tunately for them the noise awakened
the citizens and they could not finish
their work
Reaching their buggy they threw
away a mask, a bottle of acid, the mems
clothes, etc, and drove south as far as
Barrett. They then turned around and
came back to WaterVille, mingling with
the crowd. They left the horse and
buggy a the livery stable, which was
one Of the clues to the crime.
Mrs. Crandall was committed to the
county jail at Marysville to await the
October term of district court, on q.
$500 bond and her son at $500 Mrs.
Crandall IS writing poetry for a living.

YALE FACULTY WON'T ACT.
They Will Take no Notice of BrYan's
Discourteous Treatment.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 28.-Every-
one is discussing the Bryan incident Of
Thursday when the presidential candi-
date stopped speaking and declared
that he was prevented by Yale mems
noise from proceeding. Yale men enter
a denial that he was stopped from
speaking, their claim being that they
cheered for Mckinley and gold inces-
sanity at the beginning of his speech,
compelling Mr.. Bryan to take his seat
after he had arisen to speak and to wait
five minutes until the cheering stopped,
but they state that when he once be-
gan they did not prevent him from con-
tinuing.
Much indignation is felt at the refer
ence by Mr.. Bryan to Yale college stu
dents as young men who came to col
1ege to spend 'ilI-gotten gains" The
Yale faculty assert that no official no
tice will be taken of the incident.

TALMAGE ON POLITICS.
Declares No Good Will Come From
Partisan Sermons.
Washington.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage, in his sermon at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday
made the following allusiOn to the pres
idential campaign:
During the last six presidential cleo
lions have been urged to enter the po-
litical arena, but never have, and new
er will, turn the pulpit in which I
preach into a political stump.
Every minister must do as he feels
called on to do, and I will not criticize
him for doing what he considers his du-
ty; but al the political harangues from
pulpitS from now until November 3
will not, in all the United States, change
one vote but will leave many ears stop
ped against anything that SUCH clergy
men may utter the rest of their lives. :"
This statement was followed by ref
erence to the depression now prevailing
throughout the country, and he said
that never within his memory have 80
many people literally starved to death
as in the past few months"
He believed the country was better
off after every crisis, and that the AL
mighty would settle the controversy
between the metals.

STRIKERS GET TIRED.
Many of Them at Leadvil1e Are Will
ing to Quit.

Leadville, Colo, Sept. 2S.-Among the
citizens the engrossing topic today is
the probable action of the committee
of five appointed at the strikers meet
ing Saturday to consider whether or
not it would be best to continue their
fight, or take measures towards reach
ing pacific settlement.
Despite the secretiVeness of the mem
berS of the union, reports of their do
ings continue to become semi-public
property. Those who are anxious to re-
turn to work occasionally forget their
pledges of secrecy regarding what is
going on within their ranks From an
authoritative source it was learned that
as the committee created at Saturdays
meeting now stands, two are in favor
of advising an attempt to make terms
of surrender, while three are for con-
tinuing the strike in its present quies-
cent vigOr.
Another still more significant indica-
ton that a number of the strikers are
Wearying of id1eneSS came out at mill
tary headquarters. Several local mem
bers of the union, men who have for
years been residents of LeadVtlle, called
singly and privately on Gen. BROOKS.
At least half a dozen of these unlock
ed for visitors pledged themselves def
initely to the military commander that
hereafter they would acquaint him
with whatever information they could
obtain concerning possible future out
breaks of 1awlessneSs, giving him the
names of men who proposed to take
part in such work so he could make ar
rests before hand.
Adjutant General Moses has had a
conference with Gov. McIntire regard
ing an early settlement, but would not
say anything as to the result.
All that can say now IS that there
is no intention on the part of the state
to withdraw even a portion of the
troops
Everything is quiet today.

pleted his roll of Republicans in the
state who will vote for the white metal
He says that he has the names Of 3d.
600 voters who were formerly Republi-
cans, who have pledged themselves to
vote for Bryan and SewalI.
He added: 4 am now preparing a.
list of II electors to represent my par
ty in Missouri, and will nominate
them by petition. Petitions for that
purpose are now being circulated
through the state, and when we obtain
the signatures of 1000 qualified voters
I will file my ticket, headed by the Re
publican state ticket, with the secre-
tary of state, and demand that he GER
tify it in accordance with the election
law. I am doing this to help Bryan,
as there are thousands of free silver
Republicans in the state whose votes
we would lose if we did not give them
a convenient way to vote for Bryan
and their state ticket at the same
time"

There was much surprise in the par
ty when news reached it this morning
of the burning of the underwear fac
tory of W. H. Burns & Co., on Salem
square, Worcester. This was the build
ing on which was displayed last Friday
during Mr.. Bryan's speech, directly in
front of it a large American flag bear
ing McKinley's portrait and an equally
large red flag with Mr.. Bryans pic
ture. The police have been making
efforts to secure the original of the dis
patch sent from Worcester to Mr.. Bry-
an expressing qualification that the
factory had been burned, but the tele-
graph company has thus far declined
to surrender it. Mr.. Bryan refused to
discuss the matter this morning.
The following is the dispatch which
was sent, it is said, by Dell S. Morgan,
ex-chairman of the Democratic city
committee: THANK God, justice has
received her just dues. Burns under
wear factory, which displayed the red
flag in your honor Friday afternoon,
is in flames"
Mr.. Bryan's departure from Boston
was noticeable only for the enthusiasm
evinced by the 500 people who saw
him board the Colonial express at the
Providence depot. He made no speech,
and simply stood upon the platform OF
his car and smiled a goodbye to his
yelling admirers Cheer after cheer
greeted the party on it's arrival at the
depot. It was with the greatest diff
Guilty the party forced their way
through the crowd. So intent were the
people to see Mr.. Bryan that the vice
presidential candidate was entirely
overlooked until he, with more Of the
committee, forced their way to the car
and mounted its platform. Then he
was recognized and given three cheers.
He DOTTED his hat and smiled before en-
tering the car. AS the train moved
away Mr.. Bryan appeared on the plat
form and smiled a. goodbye.
