WOMAN THEIR LEADER
Gang of Freight Car Robbers
Rounded Up.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. PA band of
robbers under the leadership of wom-
an was revealed here today, when
Mrs. Matilda Carter, Patrick O'Brien, a
junk shop dealer; Dad Hagerty, a
teamster; John and Joel Bloom, and
John Danvern, were lodged in Jail on
warrants sworn out by Detective D.
F. Harbargh, Of st. Louis, in the en-
ploy of the Southern railway The
detectives had been working on the case
and had collected evidence to show
that during the time the gang has
stolen goods from the railroad cars to
the value, at least, of $4,000 It is
alleged a railroad clerk is involved in
the plot and more arrests are expected
The gang has confined itself mostly to
breaking seals and robbing wheat cars.
Disgusting themselves as farmers, they
took the grain to local mills and dis
posed of it at the top market price
They tapped other cars for miscellan-
&C US goods, much of which was stored
with O'Brien, the junk shop dealer. The
operations of the gang indicate that
they had inside knowledge Of the con-
tents Of the cars and information is
supposed to have come, through the
suspected clerk. The woman leader of
the gang is a noted criminal, and has
operated in various cities of the coun-

Dangerous Use of
Strong Purgatives.

Most pills, purgatives and Bit
ter Waters, which act quickly
upon the bowels, irritate and often
destroy the mucous coats of the
stomach and bowels. Indeed their
cathartic action is directly caused
by the irritation of the bowels,
which they produce. Their action
should be soothing and stimula-
ting instead of irritating. A con-
tlnued use of such remedies pro-
duces chronic Inflammation of
the stomach and bowels. This
often ends in dangerous disease.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, is highly
recommended as an aperient, lax
alive and diuretic, because its &C
ton is due solely to it's solvent
and stimulating properties. 1t
soothes and allays inflammation,
and is therefore much preferable
to all strong purgatives and Bitter
Waters.

boldt's lecture on Carlsbad Spru-
del Salt mailed free. Eisner &

by Chairman Rose1le, who made a
brief address He said:
Without attempting to- forecast the work of
this body OF editors, / will take the liberty
to suggest that we confine ourselves strictly
to business and social lines, doing only that
which will tend to- harmonic all the reform
elements, instead of creating strife and dis
sensions. 1t should be our duty to sustain and
strengthen the national committee and regu-
late party organization, rather than lend en-
couragement to the puny efforts Of disgrun-
tied individuals to disorganiZe and disrupt
our forces In the great work of political re-
formation, which is so necessary to the welfare
OF our country. To this end, /. trust our
efforts will be directed.

GEORGES MEMORY
HOnOred by Pingree With a Talk ON
Taxation.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 22-Eight
hundred members of the Michigan club
banqueted this evening in the big
Auditorium. 1t was the twelfth an
nual gala night Of the club and the
occasion was not less suspicious than
the previous notable gatherings of that
StalWart Republican organization A
score of speakers and distinguished
guests sat at the speakers table. Over
the platform hung a canopy in pa
tr1otlc cOlOrS. The one Disappointing
feature was the absence of Chairman
Hanna, who, it had been announced,
would be present. Regrets were also
read from President-elect Mckinley,
ex-President Harrison, Senators Sher-
man, Mcmillan, Burroughs and others,
AFTER the discussion Of the menu, S.
5. Babcock, retiring president of the
club, made his farewell address con-
ciudIng with the Introduction of Gen.
X. A. Alger as POSTMASTER The gem
eral arose amidst great cheering and
waving of flags He feelingly thanked
his friends Of thirty years standing
Tor their very evident friendship. Gen.
Alger introduced Gov Pingree who
welcomed the club and guests, inciden-
tally eulogizing Washington and the
heroes of his time. The governor dep
recated the conservatism which gen.
orally stands back when fighting is in
progress, and asserted that the people
OF today were as. earnestly demanding
reforms as those of '76, and added:
If the Republican party ard Re-
publican leaders are blind to the situa-
ton Of today as was George III. to the
demands Of the colonists, reforms will
be brought about by other men and
other parties. and we will be simply
wreath-hangers when the thing is
over"
On his favorte theme, taxation, the
governor said: 1.-THE farmers and Ia
boring men of Michigan have for years
been paying four times their due pro-
portion of the tax compared with that
taken from corporate privileges. This
is against the principles of the Repub-
lican party, whose old motto is: 'Prin-
cfples, not men, We have it in our
hands to remedy this wrong 1 trust
we may not trifie with it. Let US es-
tablish equality Of taxation The state
is waiting. To be patriots is to be
honest. If all take care of their
home affairs, it will be all the easier
for President Mckinley tc conduct the
affairs of the nation"

SECOND SERIOUS BLAZE.
Mcmillan Block and Contents Dam
aged $4,000.

For the second time in it's history
the Mcmillan lock, Second street and
First avenue north, was yesterday aft
ernoon visited by disastrous fire en-
failing a loss of over $4,000, which is
borne almost exclusively by the Dia-
mend Litographing company, the loss
on the building being slight. The loss
on the contents is fully covered by in
sUrance, aggregating $4,000. The dam
age to the building, which is owned by
James Mcmillan, will hardly exceed
$500, which is covered by insurance
The fire was confined to the stock room
on the third floor, and damage to the
stock, which consisted Of finished litho-
graphing, paper, etc., is due almost
entirely to water.
The fire, the origin Of which is un-
known, was discovered at 100 o'clock
by one of the employees, who immediate
IL turned in an alarm from Box II,
city hall. A second alarm was turned
in which doubled the force of fire
fighters. Ladders were quickly raised
to the third floor, and after a short, hot
hight, the flames were extinguished.
The commission firm of L. Longfel-
low, on the first floor, was the only
other tenant to suffer, the damage be-
ing very slight.
