ALL HER SAVINGS GONE.
Fredn KuIkufs Money Is Stolen
From Her Room.

Early evening burglars accomplished
a neat job at the home Of George Som
ers over his saloon at Seventh and
Sibley streets, shortly after 8 o'clock
Saturday night, when his housekeeper,
Miss Freda Kulkui, was robbed of s10o
in cash, every cent Of her savings for
some years. Miss Kulkui saws the
money was all she had in the world and
cried bitterly yesterday while telling
what little she knew Of the robbery, as
she says it leaves her destitute. She
mourns the loss Of the money more
particularly at this time as her
employer is about to go out of business,
when her occupation will be gone.
The. money was stolen from under the
pillow of Miss Kulkui's bed. after the
thieves had gained entrance to the
the door and sliding catch bolt.
Miss Kulkui says she thinks the rob-
berry must have been committed by
someone familiar with the living apart
ments over the saloon She left her
room shortly after o'clock to make
several purchases before the stores
closed, and returning an hour later
found her apartments In disorder and
the money missing. An examination
showed that the robbers had with some
sharp instrument neatly cut a piece
bolt, large enough to reach through and
unlock the door, Mr.. Somers was en-
gagged In the saloon at the time, but he
says he heard nothing during his house
keepers absence to denote the presence
of intruders UP stairs. The hallway
leading to the living apartments opens
on Sib1ey street, but this was locked
by Miss Kulkui in leaving the place,
and was undisturbed upon her return.
The Sibley street entrance to the sa-
loon is Immediately adjoining thds door
however, and by pretense at going
into the saloon the burglars could have
reached the upstairs by entering this
door and quickly opening an unlocked
sliding door between the rear of the
saloon and the hallway leading to the
living apartments. 1t is believed that
the burglars must have been upstairs
some time, as Miss Kulkui's room had
been thoroughly searched as shown by
the confusion in which the contents
were found and a number Of burned
matches about the floor. The robbery
was reported to the police.

Several Had Close Calls at the Hotel

A dozen or mere Of the guests at the
Hotel Dacotah at Grand Forks, which
was destroyed by fire early Friday
morning, were st. Paulltes. Of the
number nearly all were travelling pas

gentlemen who were known to be at
Grand Forks last Thursday were great

safe.
H. S. Collins. travelling agent for the
Omaha road, who was at the hotel the
night it burned, telegraphed his wife
Friday morning that he was oil right,
and yesterday Mrs. Collins received a
letter from her husband stating that
he had managed to save all his per-
sonal effects, and was out of the hotel
before there was any immediate dan
ger. He explained in the letter that
he was on the third floor Of the hotel,
and, his room being near stairway,
he made his way out without serious
trouble.
G. J. Lowell, travelling agent for the
Wabash line, in a letter to his sister
received Saturday says the fire was
terrible one, and he saw more excite
ment in the short space Of half an
hour than he had ever before expert
enced. Mr.. Lowell was on the second
floor of the hotel and for

Pinkertons VIII Protect the Mines,
Armed With GatIings If Necessary.
Cleveland Aug 19-The decision
reached by the operators of the Pitts
burg district at their conference here
Tuesday night to open their mines, re-
CARELESS of consequences, probably
will cause serious trouble. According
to local coal men it is the intention of
the Pittsburg operators to engage
Pinkerton men to protect their non
union men. This action probably will
precipitate a terrible climax to the
great strike, and the operators admit
that blood may flow. In speaking of the
probable result of the operators de-
cision Lotus Cuddy, of the Cuddy-
Mullen Coal company, said:
IF it is found necessary to do SO, a
whole army of detectives will be en-
worst comes they will be supplied with
Calling guns and other equipments to
convince the strikers that we mean
business. There will be no delay in
inaugurating this movement, although
do not care to state what the first
action will be-
Mr.. Cuddy's statement is upheld by
j. P. Zerbe, president of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Coal company, who said:
I'VE are determined to open our mines
again, in spite of the strikers, and
see no reason why we should not sue
coed. There are plenty of non-union
workmen in the country who are will
ing to fight for their protection, al
though I am of the opinion that we
will be able to protect them ourselves.
I think that when the old miners find
that they cannot prevent the mines be-
ing opened they will go back to work
again peaceably."

Paris, Aug. Is. - The departure of
President Faure on his visit to the car
at st. Petersburg yesterday was mark

ment, accompanied by the circulation
of the widest kind of rumors. After
his departure q bomb exploded along

and in spite of the, fact that nobody

prevailed for q long time afterwards,
and the sensational reports had it that
those who exploded the bomb had in-
tended an outrage of more serious
nature. The president received an oya=
ton from the public when he started
on his journey.
M. Girard, director of the municipal
laboratory, regards the explosion as a
serious attempt by militant anarchist
The bomb, he says. was properly con-
structed, and would have caused great
damage, but that the tube was crack

plosion OF the bomb at the time in

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
4 COMPLETE TOUR VIA THE P. R.

COMPLETE TOUR VIA THE P. B. B.
The Yellowstone National Park is I'M
questionably the most interesting region
on the globe, for within it is displayed the
greatest collection of natures manifold
wonders. Indeed, this mountain bound
plateau, high up on the summit of the
everlasting Rockies, is veritable play
ground for the worlds giant forces. To
stand and gaze upon them in all their
marvellous manifestations, the great geyser
upheavals, the fierce steam blasts, the
terrible leap of the river. and the awful
canon, is a revelation, an experience to be
had at no other point on the earth.
The personally conducted tour of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
leaves New York on September 2, affords
the most satisfactory means of visiting this
wonderland and tyiewing its marvellous
features. Tourists will travel by special
train of Pullman smoking, dining, sleeping,
and observation cars in each direction.
Eight days will be spent in the Park. Stops
will also be made returning at st. Panl and
Chicago. The round-trip rate, 1926 from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Washington, $3.50 from Pittsburg. covers
all necessary expenses.

Whenever the Constitution of our
fathers or the bouys they set to mark
the safe channel where the ship of State
may safely sail stand in the way of the
of the Republican party they have been
fercely denounced, and where possible
ruthlessly cast aside. In the matter of
the use of the precious metals as money,
there was no division between the fathers
of the Republic as to the relation they
should occupy as measures of value in
monetary affairs. The poverty of the
argument of this party for changing the
system established by patriots, and which
had stood the test of so many years, is
found in the columns of the Republican
organ of this county this week, 1t says
Mr.. Bryan and his associates had a
good deal better address themselves to
securing dollar wheat than to making As
cents worth of silver equal to 100 cents
worth Of gold.n
Whatever stability there is in the value
of gold is given it by the law that says SO
mucn OF the metal shall constitute a
dollars-a fixed market at a fixed price
Our fathers gave the same value to silver,
and its bullion value was never less than
its coinage value--often greater. A
bushel of wheat will to-day feed as many
mouths as it would one hundred years ago,
yet it varies in value as the supply is to
the demand. We make no pretention to
having solved the problem of national or
international finance, but persons who
have regard for their regulations for COM
mon sense in the community in which
they live, will not put into print so foolish
q proposition as is addressed in the four
lines quoted above, and it is only one of a
dozen squibs Of like import in the organ
this week.

strikers Hold a village.

Coffeen, Ills, Aug. 10. - General
Bradley's army of striking miners held
this village yesterday. The 400 men
formed groups as near the coal mines
as they could get without trespassing
on the company's land, and talked with
the miners as they came to work. The
miners were afraid of trouble, and only
about so went to work. Armed deputy
sheriffs patrolled the coal company's
ground, with orders to shoot any one
who might attempt to enter the prem
ises without leave. Bradley was re-
leased at Hillsboro yesterday on re-
eognizance for 1000 signed by several
Mount Olive men, including Mayor
Fouchs.

To the philosophic observer it seems
strange that Mr.. Hanna should call into
requisition such vast resources of men
and money to carry the Ohio election next
Fall. The Dingley Tariff bill was passed,
confidence has been restored, prosperity is
at hand, and the goose hangs high, accord
ing to this eminent Republican stateman,
yet the party leaders from all sections of
the country are to take the stump in the
Buckeye State and the plethoric treasury
of the National Committee is to be drawn
upon to prevent the defeated, disorganized,
demoralized, disreputable and diabolical
Democracy for capturing the Presidents
State and knocking his chief fuglemen into
political kingdom come. There's an awful
discrepancy here, equalled only by that
between the revenue and expenditure of
General Government under the present
Administration.
