SANTA ROSA,S RIVALS.
Mrs. Burrfs Again Wrests the Lead
From Miss Hall.

Mrs. Burrfs again Hrests the Lead
From Miss Hall.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, April 1.-The re-
suit of the voting for a carnival Queen to-
day shows that there will be only two
bellies in the race, out of the forty starters.
They are Mrs. L. w. Burris and Miss Sara
Hall. The bulk of the votes cast to-day
were for these two, as it has been thought
for several days that the honor would fall
to one of them.
The large vote to-day resulted in placing
Mrs. Burris once more in the lead, by
something over hundred votes. The
lead has alternated between Mrs Burris
and Miss Hall for more than a week, re-
sulting in friendly. rivalry that has en-
rolled the whole town on one or the other
side. Either of the candidates would fill
the queenly office with grace and dig
nifty that would reflect credit upon the fes-
tival. The voting will close on the even
ing of April II.

They say wages have not decliped.
Store clerks in the city Of Chicago In 1874
got 3l2 a week. about an average Of that
They are now getting on an average about
six dollars a week.
Unorganlzed labor has fallen proportion
aIely. II Is only organized labor that has
held up prices. and 1t has done that in two.
ways: One IS, that organized labor Is
among the hrst-class mechanics where ex-
perts are required. and The supply Of that
kind Of workmen is limited But Organized
labor holds itself up by reason Of It's unions.
They are intelligent They stand together
as brotherhood Of men fighting In COM
mon cause. And yet in spite of their or
ganization. labor has had wages partially
reduced. The best answer have heard TO
that was by an Irisnnan In Chicago re-
Gently. A gold standard man was expatiat-
ng on the purchasing power OF gold, and
saying that wages had not declined. The
Irishman, after listening to him awhile,
said: Mister, in 1873 was a section hand

s1LvER1rEs IN CONGRESS
Want Free-Coinage Amendment to the
Coinage Bill,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-It is under
stood about the senate that Senator
Jones. of Nevada, is quite as anxiou:
to serve the cause of non-connection
with the tariff bill as he is to promote
the sugar interest. Most of the silver
men are of the opinion that the anti
silver republicans plan is to get the
house tariff bill through both houses
and have it sent to the president, by
whom they think it will vetoed. this
would raise the tariff question and
have tendency to make it the sole is.
sue in the approaching campaign.
The silver republicans suspect that
this is the wish of their anti-silver
colleagues, and some of the former
class are determined to, if possible.
prevent the consummatiou of this
scheme. They think this can be done
by putting free-coinage amendment
on the tariff bill, and it is altoeetber
probable that an effort will be made
In that direction. 1t is said that Mr..
Jones would cooperate heartily with
his republican silver friends in this
direction. He is acting as populist,
and it is remembered in this connec-
ion that the populists in their caucas
few weeks since, declared for silver
amendment in the tariff as we'll as the
'ond bill. 1t is also considered good
actice in the fight for the silver SUBJ
titute bond bill to hold the tariff bill $
n suspense for the present.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-A special from
New york says:
The Morgan bond syndicate has at
last been shaken by the withdrawal
from it of the Chemical National bank.
1t is understood that the amount of the
banks subscription was $1,000. 900.
G. T. Williams, president of the bank,
said:
"Our subscription simply represeted
those of our depositors, and we do not
want to tie them up in the uncertain
ties nf the syndicate. We do not wish
to stand in the way of any public de-
sire for the success of a popular loan"
1t was reported that the City Nation
al and possibly the United States Trust
Company and the Hanover National
will follow the. lead of the Chemical.
The City National has $4,000. 900 gold
in its vaults and its subscription was
reported as S5.o00,00 The sub,crip-
lions Of the Hanover National Al nd the
United States Trust Company were
each about 100000.

Silver Speeches are to Take up the Week

WASHINGTON, Jan. II The greater

the present week will be consumed in
the discussion of the finance commit

Morgan will lead off with speech to-
morrow, and Daniel and Dubois have
also given notice OF speeches. Various
other senators are known to be pre-
pared to take the floor, either in advo.
cacy or in opposition to the substitute.
The probabilities are all against reach

week. The bill is one which under
any circumstances would call forth
many sentiments and much animated
debate, which would render it inpos.

one weeks debate. The advocates of

LARGE SHORTAGE DISCOVERED.

For some days past the commission
ers of Pierce counGy have been examin-
Ing the accounts of Trustee Hubs. OF
Troy township. and the affair has re-
suited in sensation, as Hubbs was a
prominent politician of Southern To-
diana and largely connected in the 10.
cality. When'he presented vouchers
for the commissioners showing the
expenditure of money largely in ex-
cess OF any of his predecessors, stispI-
cion was aroused, and as the fact became
known, an investigation was demanded.
The commissioners then overhauled
his accounts, and summoned more
than hundred men whose names
were signed to the receipts. Not one
IN ten of the number summoned had
received money from Hubbs for any
purpose, and those who had, swore
hat the vouchers had been raised four
" fye times the amount for which the
eceipts were given. A Shortage of
learly $4,000 was thus discovered, and
he sum promises to be much larger.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
The Postmaster at Pendleton Relieved of
5000.

/ Mr.. Judson. who arrived on Monday
nights train from Pendleton informs
US that Postmaster Johnson, at Pend
Teton, vas robbed Monday of some
$500. About o'clock Mr.. johnson
had closed the front door of his Office
ana was engaged in making up his
cash account, when some one raped
at the back door, ,and calling Mr.. John.
son by name, requested that he be
given his mail as he desired to leave
on the night train. Thinking that he
recognized the voice and desiring IN
accommodate the party, Mr.. johnson
opened the back door to his Office and
admitted the robber. No sooner was
he inside than he presented a pistol
and demanded access to the safe.
Being alone and unprepared to resent
Une demand, the postmaster opened
the safe, and the robber took there
from about $500. AS the robbere
turned to go, Mr.. johnson caught at
him, when the robber fired a shot from
his pistol, striking the postmaster In
'he hand, then escaped through the
back door. Before an alarm could be
given, the robber had made good his
escape. When Mr.. Judson left Pendle-
on, everybody was searching for the
'oooer, but no trace Of him had been
obtained. The robber wore mask
which concealed most OF his fa,e,
making it difficult for the postmaster
o give a clear description of his APP
earance. Mr.. Judson stated that the
eople of Pendleton were greatly ex-
tied over the affair, and should the
oooer be caught, he would likely be
everely dealt with.
