TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 9.-The
directors of the American Railway
union tonight issued an address to all
members of the A. r. u, and TO all
railway employees in the United States.

ployees 10 join Mckinney sound

carriers TO vote for Bryan.
The address is signed by Eugene V.
Debs, James Hogan, Sylvester Keliher,
William b. Burns, r. M. Goodwin and
NJ. j. Elliott.
The address says the coercion prac-
ticed IS of monstrouS proportions; de-
scribes the methods pracIiced as "as-
toundinG;' says the round-houses, de-
pots and shops have temporarily been
converted inTo political WigWams, and
that employees are intimidated to join
these gold STANDARD clubs by the rail-
way managers
We know of many instances con-
tinues the address, where employees
are plainly given to understand that
their continuance in service depends on
their supporting the gold standard can
dddateS. The country stands amazed
at such bold and shameless intimida-
ton"
The address declares that it is not
free silver alone that has enraged this
railroad moloch," but the attack in the
Democratic platform on government by
injunction. This, II says, is the milk
in the cocoanut." The injunction his

Kinley, the circular says, would mean
the perpetuation of government by in

form is commended.
In conclusion the address says:

ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION.

The HeraId's story Was Generally
Discussed Through cut the City.
The HeraId's exclusive account con-
meeting the Montpelier bank robbery
with the murder trial now on in the
Ogden court, and the expose of the
plot to liberate the notorious cut
throat, Matt Warner, alias RaS Christ
ensen, received its full share of discus
sion in this city yesterday A few were
inclined to diSbeIieve the story. The
details were so complete, however, that
there was small margin left for doubt
In police circles the story was no sur
prise. Detective Sheets prabably
knows as much about the Mccartney
gang as any official in the west, with
the possible exception Of Sheriff
Wright Of Ogden. Mr.. Sheets was
aware that Cassidy was the leader Of
the Montpelier bank robbery. He has
kept close watch on the developments
and expressed his conviction that Cas-
sadly is not far from ogden. He knew
of his leaving Vernal with the object
in view of attending mis- pals trail. IL
Cassidy had found that there was no
danger ne would have been present in
court and at the opportune time, in
case there would be no chance for an
acquittal, made a bold stroke to hber-
ate Warner and Wall by force.
While Cassidy and his men are IN
dOubtedly in close proximity to Ogden
they are too guarded in their moves
to come into the city. Mr.. Sheets be-
lieves they undoubtedly have spies out
who report every move of the officers
and he now thinks their capture will
not materiaiize without a bloody con-

Another interesting fact leaked out
yesterday regarding the raid made by
George Cassidy, Ras Lewis and their
gang on the Montpelier bank
1t is learned upon the highest au-
thority that the original plan of these
desperadOes was to rob the bank at
Logan. Cache county. and that they
visited the vicinity and looked over the
ground. Fortunately for the bank Off
Gals, the officers got wind Of what was
going on, and arrangements were be-
ing made to give the thugs a warm re-
ceptiOn, when The latter reached the
conclusion that they would be taking
desperate chances in trying to execute
their plan and moved on. They re-
alized that an attempt to rob the I4o-
gan bank would result in almost GER
tain death for them, and looked about
for an easier game. The Montpelier
enterprise suited them exactly, and the
outcome shows the wisdom Of their
choice.
Of course these facts were not gem
orally known in Logan at the time, but
they may be easily verified now.

SARCASTIC COMMENTS.

LONDON. Sept. "a report of an in
terview with Right Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the colo
MES. who is now in America, has been
cabled and printed here, wherein that
gentleman says that the statement made
IN London dispatches published in the
United States that his recent eulogy of
MIR. T. A. Heaiy, to whom he alluded as
the greatest living Irishman. is ridiculed
by the newspapers, is mere nonsense.
The Westminster Gazette sarcastically
comments upon Mr.. Chamberlain's state
ment, saying:
I'VE must confess that we are charmed
with Mr.. Chamberlains naivette, especial
ly when he adds proudly that The Eng
lish are not that kind of people. We
think Mr.. Chamberlain is hardly justified
in his beast. whatever he may have
meant. Both the English and the Irish
are just that kind Of people.n

BoATNER AGAIN.
He Attacks Judge Gunby, Editor of
the Monroe Bulletin.

NEW YORK. September "a Sun
special from New Orleans says: Con-
gresham c. j. Boatner attacked Judge
A. A. Gunby, editor oG the Monroe
Bulletin, on the streets of Monroe to-
day with heavy stick, and fight
resulted. The fight was brought about
by a letter written by the Hon. A.
Benoit, the PopuIist candidate for con-
gress, against Boatner, and a. candi-
date for reelection.
On Saturday last, he published a
communication in Gunby's paper about
Boatner. under the caption who is
the Liar?" Several of Boatner's
friends were with MIN at the time of
the attack on Gunby. The latter en-
deavored to strike back at Boatner,
but was held by a bystander. Boatner
is Sound money" man, but will sup
port Bryan. The difficulty grew largely
out of the financial question. Gunby
is one of the most stalwart of silver
men. He was a Democrat until six
months ago, when he went over to the
Populists.

CANTON, O., September 9.-Major
Mckinley has been engaged all day in

Especial to The Herald)
POCATELLO, Ida, Sept AT 2:3O
this morning, the Board of Trade sa-
loon and gambling house on Railroad
avenue was held up and the faro game
robbed of $736. The robbery was com
mitted by two men. One of them, the
larger of the two, had for several min
utes previous to the robbery been play
ing 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 smaller of the two robbers
moved towards the faro table, revolver
in hand, and covered the dealer, Doc
Stephenson, with a request to hand over
the sack, which was promptly done.
After securing 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 de-
posted 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 to-
gether at the bar shortly before the
robbery, but excited no suspicion. They
wore no masks. 1t is considered one Of
the most daring robberies ever COM
mitted in the west. The proprietors of
the Board of Trade, Stephenson &
Hanak, Immediately offered one-hatf Of
the stolen money as a reward for the
capture of the robbers, but no clue has
yet been obtained

may attempt with the Republicans of

toward the Populists, without whose
votes Bryan cannot be elected. He is
bitter against Sewall. He declared Sc

being a perfect understanding to that
effect between him and Chairman

Since governments exist for the pro-

Of public money can be justified unless
that expenditure is necessary for the

An Indian Taboo.

The penalty for violating, even un-
Willingly, the taboo of gems is visi-
tation of sores, livid spots, inflammation
of the eyes and even blindness. The
-shtasnnda, or thunder gems, do not
touch reptiles, toads or beetles. Some
years ago the vegetable garden of the
Omaha mission was visited by the pota-
to bug. The good missionaries i'll charge
engaged the children in the work of ex-
termination by offering a bounty OF D
cents quart, solid measure, for de-
funct bugs. AS the extinction of the
species became imminent, some of the
young wits adulterated their bugs by
the addition of spurious beetles. About
this time one of the little girls became
suddenly covered with sores. Her par
ents, hearing of it, came i'll consterna-
ton to the mission. She belonged to the
thunder gems, and the child's bug in
come ceased at once. She had unwlt-
tingly been carrying on traffic IN her
taboo. G. Fletcher in Century.
