SIAEE HEI II I'D

Wichita. Kans., July 27-This after
noon, at Lonely gulch, in Oklahoma, the
stage was held up by band of outlaws,
who riicd the mail and express sacks
taking all the registered letters and the
valuablcs carried by the two passengers
in the coach. There is little doubt that
the robbery is the work of an organized
gang of Bill Doolin, the condemned
murderer and outlaw, who escaped from
Jail at Guthrie several weeks ago with
a dozen desperate robbers. A big force
of United States marshals has been in
pursuit of the outlaws ever since their
escape.

man of the committee on notification, de
lvered the address informing Mr.. Lever
-siis Of his nomination. The latter read
from manuscript his letter of acceptance.
After dwelling upon the liquor traffic
Mr.. lowering branched off as follows:
II do not underestimate the fact that
there are other questions of grave inn
portancc over which the public mind is
seriously agitated, and which are being
pressed for speedy settlement. There is
the question of stable and at the same
time an elastic, currency equal to the
demands of business for every section of
the country, and yet every dollar of
which should he of equal value, the
whole based on the same standard, equal
to the best III the world. The United
States can not afford, without dishonor,
to have money bearing its stamp infc-
rior to that of any other country on the
globe. The question of the maintenance
of the government credit on which its
honor is based and for which every one
worthy the name of an American citizen
is or should be profoundly jealous, is one
of vast importance.
again. Il proper adjustment of the
tariff so that labor can have its, just pro
lection without ut the same time giving
undue protection to the manufacturing
interest at the expense of the consuming
population of our people is worthy of
profound consideration and early Sou-
ton"
Prior to the notificat ton meeting Mr..
lowering in an interview said: Il do
not see any necessity for the sound
money democrats who do not wish TO
voting for Mckinley. Let them vote the
prohibition ticket. We shall have elec-
toral tickets in every state. and those
democrats and republicans who can not
conscientiousy vote for either Bryan or
Mckinley can vote our ticket. My
views on the money question and on the
tariff question also are in accord with
the views of those people in general and
are decided and definite"
