Homes may go down, jails may
be filled, the poorhouses and asy-
lums may be crowded, good order
and decency may be disturbed and
outraged, but the liquor traffic is
no longer in politics. Oh, the
shame, the cowardliness OF such
deliverance! It ought to crimson
the cheeks Of patriotism and make
honest men blush and hang their
heads. Looking at the ruin that IS
everywhere wrought by this evil
one would think that it should be
made the supreme question in n
politics, and kept supreme and
overshadowing until the country
is redeemed from its bllghtlng
presence forever But the average
politician is afraid Of it.-Francls
Murphy.

Not one in thousand of the plays
presented in our respectable the
aters is immoral either in motive
or tendency. The disreputable
theaters and their immoral per
formances are not to be defended.
But it should be borne in mind
that the average American, Chris
tian or irreligious, must have
amusement, but he is, as a rule,
more than any other man, clean
minded and modest. He loves a
sparkling draught, but he wants no
nastiness in it. And the truth is
that the only way in which the
drama is able to maintain itself IN
this country, and attract the mass
es, is by rising to the level Of the
best class, not by sinking to the
level of the worst. Minneapolis

Bullets Flew Thick During
a Series of Daring
RobberieS.
FOUGHT WITH THE OFFICERS.
Two of the Bold Raiders Were
Shot Down in the Final
Fusillade.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, AprilH "a
Three negro desperados kept Connells-
vile and Whlterock in a state of siege for
six hours this afternoon. Before they
were captured two of them were seriously
and perhaps fatally shot through the head.
This town has not experienced such an
exciting time since J. Fl. Paddock was
murdered by coke strikers three years ago.
In their raid the negroes held up and
robbed dozen people, securing over 5000
in cash and several watches. Three dia-
mond rings were also among the booty.
The three outlaws names are Samuel
Hill of Richmond, Va. William Webster
of Norfolk, Va, and John Wellington of
Petersburg, Va. The last two named fell
victims to the officers Winchesters before
they gave up.
From the time the first robbery was COM
mitted until handouts were on the trio at
least 800 shots were fired. Constable Frank
Scissor of Connellsville Township was shot
through the body, but the wound is not
serious.
According to the negroes stories they
arrived here from Pittsburg last night.
The morning was spent drinking whisky.
Wheeler's coke works, on the Fairmont
Branch Railroad, was visited, and while
two of the men covered the prosperous
looking foreigners with revolvers in each
hand the third went through the victims
pockets.
From noon until o'clock the despera.
does amused themselves by making tar
gets of every one that came within their
range at Whiterock, where they were
joined by fourth negro. They started
out to raid the town. Baltimore and Ohio
section-men and telegraph operator were
held up and robbed. The shooting by
this time had aroused the whole neigh
borhood. An engine was sent here for
officers and posse started out from
Whiterock.

Captain Moore Contracts to Carry the
Pouches to Forty Mite.
VICTORIA, B. c., April 24-Captain
William Moore, a pioneer Alaskan pros
pector, explorer and mine-owner, has Sc
cured contract from the Dominion
Government for carrying three letter mails
into Fort Cudahy and Forty-miIe Creek,
Canadian territory. The first of these
mails will leave Victoria by the Topeka,
sailing from Victoria on May Is. Captain
Moore, who is at present in this city, will
leave for Alaska by the next steamer in
order to have boats and men ready for the
conveyance OF the mails from Juneau. He
will take the mail by steamer to the bay at
the head of Lynn canal. This bay is
within few days sailing of Victoria, is
free from ice and accessible to ocean
steamers at all times during the year.
From here the White Pass route will be
used, and mail must be packed" by men
through fourteen miles of Alaskan terri
tory, eight miles of which are very rough.
The mail must be carried eighteen miles
farther in British Columbia territory.
From Toosh-Hie Lake the route is a COM
paratively easy one, as boats will be used
on the Yukon to carry the mails to Fort
Cudahy.
Heretofore the efforts to take mail into
Forty-mile Creek proved unsuccessful, the
task being one of great difficulty. Several
men sacrificed their lives in the attempt,
the mail was lost and is now buried under
snow.

Florin Creps Iniured.

FLORIN, CAL, April PA heavy rain
and wind storm has prevailed in this vicin-
ity for the past two days, and growers of
strawberries claim that the storm has
played sad havoc with ripening berries.
Bushels Of them, it is said, have been rem
dered unfit for the market, and as Florin
contributes more than half of the berries
shipped to the Northwestern markets the
damage is here felt keenly; but it is an as
sured fact that the late berries will bring
good prices and that high prices will pre-
vail throughout the balance of the season.
w. O. Davies, manager of the Florin
Fruit growers Association, says the dam
age to strawberries will aggregate thou
sands of dollars, and that the cherry crop
is almost a total loss, rain and wind caus-
ing the half ripened cherries to burst al
most in two on the trees. Grapes will not
! suffer unless frost follows the storm.
Should that occur many a fruit-grower in
this section will be confronted by insol-
vency before the coming winter is ended.

WEST RIVERSIDE TRAGEDY
Young Elmo Parks Sleeps While
Searchers Are Looking for
His Brother.
Admits When Aroused and Questioned
That He Accidentally Killed
the Lad.

RIVERSIDE, CAL, April 24.-Albert A..
Parks, the 12-year-old son of II. G. Parks
of West Riverside, was accidentally killed

14-year-old brother, Elmo. using a 22-cal-
ibre rife. During the afternoon Elmo re-
turned alone to their home. In the even
ing, as Albert failed to put in an appear
ance, search was instituted by his father,
assisted by neighbors. Elmo did not as
sist, but went to bed.

searching Elmo was aroused and ques.
toned, and the boy then related the de-
tails of the accident and led his people to
a spot upon hillside about half-mile
distant from the house, where the body of
his brother was found. He had been shot
in the breast and it was evident that he
died instantly. Elmo said the shooting
accidentally occurred while he had the
gun in his hands, the weapon being dis
charged while he was lowering the ham,
mer. A Coroner's jury returned a verdict
of accidental shooting.
