A BOLD H0LD-UP.
JACK ANDERSON'S GAMBLING
JOINT. ROCK SPRINGS,
ROBBED.
The Thieves Took All the Money in
Sight, Amounting to About $500
No Clue to the Perpetrators-The
Trouble in Louisiana is Assuming a
More Serious Condition.

Denver, Colo, Dec. IA special to
the News from Rock Springs, Wyo..
lust a few minutes before mid
night this evening. three young men
held up Jack Anderson's saloon n
gambling rooms. They had been no.
ticed sitting around the room all the
evening and took the opportunity
when but a few men were in the saloon
and made the inmates of the saloon
hold up their hands and rifed the cash
register. Then they were marched in
front of them to the gambling part OF
the house and took what money the
different games had in sight and also
in the drawers. There is absolutely
no clue to their identity, but they can
be easily identified if apprehended.
Excitement runs very high and off,
GERS are searching all parts Of the city
and the chances are very uncertain OF
their being able to escape. The rob-
bers are supposed to have taken about
$500, as there was not much money out
of the safe. This is the second sue
cessful attempt within the past two
weeks OF holding up a gambling house
in this city.

TAX ON TRANSPORTATION.

The Austrian minister of finance pro,
poses a tax on transportation. confined
chiefly t railroad transportation, at the
rate of u per cent on passenger charges
and 5 per cent on freight charges. On
the traffic of 1896 this tax would have
produced about 49, 800, 900. There has
been a tax on transportation in Hun>
gary for more than 20 years, and the
French tax on passenger fares is wei.
Known. Coming after reductions in
rates which had been long urged, this
seems like a re-establishment of high
er rates under another name. The tax
on freight rates is likely to be a ser
ious matter in some industries. where
The materials are carried several times
before the finished product reaches the
consumer, and will weigh hard on some
coars articles like pig iron and every
thing made from it, the industries pro>

Indications point to an adjustment
of the Colorado freight rate trouble
within a few days. Arrangements were
perfected for a meeting of the executive
officers of all the roads interested in
Colorado business in Chicago. Not
only will all the roads from Chicago
and St. Louis to Colorado points be
represented, but the gulf roads also
agree TO send representatives. The
Burlington will hold its last announced
reduction in allegiance until after the
meeting. The only way in which the
war on Colorado rates can be brought
to a close is for the all-rail lines to
agree not to participate in the fight
between the two ocean lines and to
fix arbitrary rates both from the gulf
and from Chicago to Colorado points,
II the Union Pnc!ic, Denver and Gull
refuses to enter into such an arrange

with it propose to stop all interchange
of business with that road.

dering his wife, EoaAe. was commence
ed before Judge Gray today.
The court room was crowded when
the case was called. Every available
seat was taken, while scores of curious
men and women stood in rows behind
the railing. anxious to hear the proceed,
ings and get a glimpse Of the man who
is charged with boiling his wife in
caustic potash in one Of his own sau-
sage watts.
The arrangement Of the court room
was different from the former trial. The
jury sits directly in front Of the court,
while facing the jury on the right was
placed the witness chair. This arrange,
ment while almost hiding the jury from
the view of the presiding judge. brought
the witness face to face with both Judge
and jury. This was the plan adopted
by Judge Gary in the famous trial Of
the Haymarket anarchists, eight years
Ago., owe which he presided.
The prosecution, as in the former
trial, was represented by Sta.e's Attor>
rey Deneen and Assistant States At

his side as defenders Attorneys Har>
mon. REESE and Kehoe. Mr.. McEwan
made the opening address for the state.
His speech. which occupied the greater
part of the session, did lot deviate from
the line he pursued in his address at the
opening Of the former trial.
Mr.. McEwan made no attempt at dra.
matte effect. He quietly. but impress
sively told the IL men the familiar story
Of the night of May 1.
The speaker opened with a resume of
the somewhat checkered career Of the
prisoner and then referred at length to
the incident attending the discovery b,
Diedrich Bicknese and the police that
Mrs. Leutgert had disappeared. The
police investigation and the resulting
disclosures in the basement Of the fac-
tory were narrated.
1t is expected that Lawyer Harmon
for the defense. will speak late this aft,
ernoon. He will refer at some length
it is said. to his aHbi evidence, without
however. committing himself to name.
or places.
At the close Of Mr.. McEwan's address.
an adjournment was taken until after.
noon at the request Of Attorney Har.

Mr.. Harmon said that certain points IL

GOOD WORK ON THE HIGHWAYS

GOOD WORK ON THE HIGHWAYS.
 public highways this season speaks for itself and will serve as an object lesson in good government to all who have eyes to see. It shows what honest, intelli gent service will do for the common welfare of the community. The men who have done the labor as we'll as those who have directed the business are al- ready receiving much of the praise they so we'll deserve, from grateful citizens. It is many day since so much good work has been done on the roads for the money. It is easy to conclude that even few years of the right sort of adminis- tration of our public affairs would go far toward redeemipg the good name and political responsibility of the town. Let us try it.
 Fret not thyself because of evil doers' .ays the Psalmist David, "neither be thou envious against the workers of ini- quity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb" There is a natural law of Justice. The social and moral life works out certain inevitable results. That which we SOW we shall surely reap. Virtue brings it's reward at last. though it may be long delayed. and vice and crime will have their retribution. Men may deceive themselves by the confusion of social and moral distinctions, but right is right and wrong is wrong just the same, and the penalty of sin will have to be met and paid when the time comes. You do, and if the devil has a mortgage on you there will be compound interest at usury, and the rate is high. I have no desire to be hard on evil-doers except as it may be for their good, and for the protection of the innocent and unwary. The soul that sins will suffer enough be- fore it is done With it; but to save peo- pie from sinnipg I am glad when the full penalty of the law is laid upon those who deserve it. The faithful enforcing of the law is preventing grace 10 the weak and erriDg, and may be the aalva- tiou of the guilty. As Dean Hole says {: ''It is cruel ito ignore or condone evil.' The apparent, temporary success of one defiant criminal who goes at large with impudent impunity, is enough.to degrade a whole community. There are always moral fools enough who do not discern the difference between the true and the false, but stand ready to clap for the in sane fellow who dares to commit social suicide, and if he is not immediately punished for his crimes, their conclusion is, "well, he gets there just the sane." And so he does. But where? He may not go to prison, where he belongs, but what is his reputation? What is his so- cial standing? Do people trust him Does any one respect him? He may prey upon a long suffering public and get living for the time being, but what is he? He is 8 warning example to all who see him as he is.
 The most monsGrous folly, to any one who really believes in God, is this stupid insinuation that men who live by vice and crime are just as good, respectable and successful as those who are pure, honest and faithful.-TO. o. Wright.

To occupy the position of advertising manager for great department store of today is not an easy. task, and requires large experience, 8 wise head, good judgement. For in the hands of this gentleman may rest the fortunes of the firm he represents. He must be sagscious in choosing the right mediums, and able to judge what to reject. That that great New Haven firm have such per son in their manager, Charles F. South ard, there is no reason to doubt. For five years he has held this responsible post with F. NJ. Brown & Co.,, of New Haven, one of the leading dry goods houses of the state. Mir Southard was for five years with Jere Johnson, Jr., of New York, a leading real estate dealer of the metropolis. MT Southard pre- pares all the copy for the papers his firm | advertise in, having four men in his de- partment. The type is set in his room, the firm furnishing their own electro types to the daily and weekly papers. By this method he is able to command 8 uniform style in setting, and can de- termine just the character of display type to be used. MT Seuthard says he has long ago discarded the use of circulars and church advertising schemes, con- fning his attention to the newspapers. He keeps in close touch with the superin- tendents of the various departments of the great store, and is thus able to keep before the public the leaders the firm may wish to push. MT Southsrd in speaking of the various mediums his house used, had 8 complimentary word for THE BEE. He is an affabIe gentleman and has 8 host of friends among the newspaper fraternity.
