WEBSTER DAVIS in OHIO
Makes a Hit as orator of the Day As
steubonvIlle.s Centennial

Makes . Hit as Orator OF the Day at
stoubenvIlle's Centennial
sTEUBENyILLE, Ohio, Aug. Boa
century ago to-day the first sale Of
town lots took place in this city. To-
day Steubenville celebrated. Never
before in her history was there such
crowd of strangers within her gates.
Competent judges estimated the crowd
at 10000 people Webster Davis, assist-
ant secretary of the interior, was the
orator of the day. When the centen-
NAL committee went to Washington
some time ago to secure a speaker,
President Mckinley said to them, II
regard Mr.. Davis as one Of the finest
orators in the United States" The
thousands who heard his address to-
day will give the same testimony.
Never was such speech heard in this
Wiley before. At times strong men
were weeping and again cheering lus-
tily as he paid glowing tribute to
Steubenvilles most distinguished SON,
Edwin NJ. Stanton, the great war sec
rotary, and when he spoke of Presi-
dent William Mckinley as another son
of jefferson county, the cheering was
so great that he could not proceed for
some time. At the conclusion of his
address, the vast audience erose and
cheered him to the echo, while many
climbed over the seats and upon the
platform to shake him by the hand,
and it was impossible for some
time to proceed with the other speeches
on the program, Among those who
climbed the platform was General.
Daniel Z. Sicllles, the battle SCARED
hero of Gettysburg. He was sitting
in carriage, and when Mr.. Davis
finished he seized his crutehes, and,
with the aid of General Arson G.
McCook, was soon on the platform
Selling the orator by both hands, he
said, "That's the greatest oratorical
effort ever heard in all my life /
want you to send me that speech"

KANSAS BANK ROBBED
DARING RAID BY THREE
MEN AT ELMDALE.
Get Away with $1,000 In Cash and
S7OO in Drafts Citizens Awakened
by Explosions, Charge the Bank and
Yet the Robbers Escape

ELMDALE, Kan, Aug. so.-Three
daring robbers broke into the Peoples
Exchange bank at an early hour yes
to-day morning, blew open the safe,
after three loud explosions, and,
though the building was surrounded
by hastily-awakened citizens fully
armed, escaped with nearly $1,000 in
cash in their possession.
The craftsmen used nitro-glycerine
IN gaining entrance to the vault, and
blew open the safe and the money
drawer within it. There were three
aistinct explosions as the robbers
forced their way to the banks treas
are. Although they were heard by
hundreds of people and the bank was
Ioon surrounded by an excited throng,
The safe crackers escaped and are still
ct liberty. The third charge was ex-
ploded even while the street in front
was thronged with people bent on
capturing the daring men within.
The loss is $1,000 in money and $500
In drafts The vault and safe are a
total wreck. Following the custom OF
smaller banks, the institution had de-
posted most of its cash in larger
and more secure bank, patronIzing
one at Emporia in this instance, and
only few days ago several thousand
dollars were taken to Emporia for de-
posit. The robbers overlooked S19O on
a top shelf in the bank and S95 in gold
which the force of the explosion
threw upon the floor, where they did
not see it,
The robbers ran out the back door
of the bank in the excitement, and es-
capped in safety.
The first explosion broke the doors
of the vault. The second blew the
doors of the inner safe clear out
through the door of the vault and up
against the bank counter. The third
explosion blew open the money
drawer. A large hole in the floor OF
the vault was also burrowed by the
explosion.
About an hour after the escape three
men in q buggy who had their horses
on a dead run, passed camp eight
miles west, and they are supposed to
be the robbers.
Shortly before dark Saturday, three
men in buggy drove into town and
were still there when the people went
to bed. They had their team hitched
In an alley near the bank, but they
did nothing to arouse tine suspicious Of
the people. The citizens have good
description of the men, which may
lead to their arrest.

WEIR CITY, Kan, Aug. go. Weir
City officers this afternoon arrested
John Sheets, the last of the Pineville,
No, bank robbers Marshal Hatton
and Constable Ike Dennis had gone to
old man Hubbard's to try to recover
still more Of the stolen money. Look
ing out they saw Sheets drive up in
new single buggy, with trunk tied on
behind. He was taken completely by
surprise, and surrendered without a
show of resistance Cashier Shields,
of the Pineville bank, iden tilted Sheets
as the robber who knocked him down
with Winchester. He was brought
in, photographed and started for
Pineville in short time. Sam Hub
bard, father of Cora Hubbard, alias
Mrs Parker, was also arrested,
charged with harboring robbers
Sheets says he is under 90 years Of
age and was born in California, Mo-,
but has lived in this state. Lately he
has been working for Bud Parker,
husband of the woman robber, near
Allonwell, L T. During the pursuit
of the gang by the posse, Sheets
caught a charge of buckshot in the
breast, arm and head, but does not
seem much worse for his experience.
He says he spent Wednesday at the
Woodmen's log rolling at Junction
City, going from there to Parsons.
