CASHIER LOSES HIS EAR
But Saves All the Money in His Bank
Except About $75.

Omaha, June 29.-Four masked men
made a desperate attempt to rob the
Butte county bank at BeIlefouche En-
tering the bank with drawn revolvers,
they commanded the customers present
and bank officials to hold up their
hands
A little hesitancy on the part of the
cashier, Marble, drew a shot from the
gun of one of the robbers which took off
a large portion of the cashiers right ear
and enforced compliance. The safe and
counters were relieved of the cash they
contained and the robbers fed. There
were four or five men in the party who
made the assault on the bank The pur-
suit was prompt the bandits having
barely time to unhitch their horses and
mount before being surrounded. In the
fight that followed, Walter Gay Of Gay
& Sons, was shot through the cheek
receiving a painful wound.

killed.
It transpfres that less than SIS was
taken from the bank, the cashier, Ar

times, only one shot taking effect.

WEYLER THE PEACEMAKER
He Arrives at Santiago de Cuba on
His Peaceful Mission.

Havana, June 29.-Gen. Weyler. after
a stormy passage on a cOastfng stea ner
from ManzanillO. arrived at Santiago
de cuba yesterday afternoon The
steamer was met by a number of tugs
having on board the municipal officers
and Gen. Linares, the military COM
mander Of the district.
Inc port and shipping were profuseIv
decorated in honor of the occasion A T
the palace the captain general received
all the authorities
Addressing the local authorities last
evening in the palace of Santiago de
CUBA, capt Gen. Weyler explained that
ne was coming to pacify that part of
the island, and that though he was
strongly DESTROYS of peace, his system
or making war was to be rigorous tor
ward the rebels who refuse to accent
the clemency which Spain, through
him, offered them. The general add
ed:
Notwithstanding the examples in
rigOr set by other colonial nations I at
tend to the reconstruction of the wealth
of the island. This was the purpose
which inspired my last DEGREES. and
I propose to continue this policy, al
though have been compelled in some
instances to countenance destruction
owing to the fact that circumstances
have made it necessary in some cases
to destroy the resources of the rebels
The captain general then referred to
the sincerity of the Spanish government
in its desire to introduce reforms in
Cuba, concluding with the remark:
I come to bring peace or war. If
the former is accepted, we will then re-
turn to the law; but if the latter is de-
sired, behind me come 40 battalions of
troops"
At o'clock last evening Governor
Ord banQueted the captain general.

INSURANCE By COUNTIES.
Is a Plan Advocated by supt. Stryker
for School Houses.

Now that the school book question
has been disposed of, State Superln-
tendent Stryker proposes to urge re-
form in the purchase OF SchoOl DooA
session be held he will present for pass
age a law similar to the text book Dill,
governing the purchase OF school mousse
seats and other equipment
Mr. Striker has also discovered that
until the beginning of the next term of
school, late in the fall in many cases,
the 5000 school buildings, worth one
million dollars, will stand uninsured
because the insurance policies contain
a provision that the policy is void after
the building stands unused or unOc-
cupied thirty days. This, he thinks, is
a great injustice and should be rene
died Mr.. Stryker said today:
The amount paid any one year as
insurance on school houses is more than
double that received in payment of
losses. The rate charged is the same
as upon other buildings, while the work
is less. What L would have is a law
for each county to insure its own school
houses on the same plan as death
losses are paid by the A O. L. w.
The value of each school house is easily
determined. Let the county make good
the loss in case of fire or damage by
lightning or cyclone. on a. basis of one
half or twO-thirds value on whatever
per cent the legislature thinks proper
and each district pay its share of loss
in proportion to its value This would
be absolutely fair. No one would ever
burn a school house to get the insur-
ance and one of the many leaks which
is taking the wealth produced in Kan
sas to New York and Boston and
abroad to buy foreign titles would be
stopped. 1t is the many little leaks
that in the aggregate make the enOrn-
Gus stream of gold that Kansas is pay
ing to thrift and shrewdness on our
eastern seaboard.
Il am in favor of attacking the prob
lem in the most friendly spirit possible,
ploy the same shrewdness and cunning
you have employed in laying tribute
upon us in shutting off this golden
stream We will attend to these de-
talls as wei as to the raising of wheat
and the solution of the money cues
ton Our people, young and old as
well, need some lessons in bookkeeping

NOTHING TO DO.
The House Meets Just Long Enough
to Adjourn.

Washington, June 29-The session of the
house yesterday lasted only long enough
to call the roll on Mr.. Dingley's motion to
adjourn. AS soon the journal had
been approved the floor leader of the ma
jority remarked that as he was not aware
of any matters claiming the attention of
the house. he would move an adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Bailey CTexas) challenged that
statement with the observation that the
bankruptcy bill and Cuban beIligerency
resolution were Enacted upon. The oppO-
sition applauded when the rising vote
showed them in a majority of one the
vote resulting S5-S6 against Mr.. Ding
ley's motion. Thereupon Mr.. Dingley de-
manded the yeas and nays, and the roll
was called. The motion was carried, 81
IS.
Before the announcement of the vote,
on motion of Mr.. Steele Qnd) July 10
was set aside as a day for paying tribute
to the memory of the late w. J. Holman
of Indiana. The speaker announced that
this order would be subject to the action
of the committee on rules. At 12:45 the
house adjourned until Thursday.

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
LeavenWOrth's Occupation Tax
Case Is Filed
For Review by the Supreme
Court of the State.
News ofthe State Departments-Per-
sonals and Notes.

The city of L,eavenworth proposes to
enforce the collection of an occupation
tax of SIS per year levied against eX-
press companies doing business in that
city if there is any way to secure Il
through the medium Of the state courts.
Two years ago the city attempted TO
collect the tax from r. S Smith, agent
for the United states Express com
pany. He declined to pay but was or
dered to do so by the police court, hav-
ing been fined for violating city ordi-
nance in refusing to pay the money into
the city treasury.
Smith appealed the case to the dis
trict court where the decision of the po-
lice court was affirmed. The case was
then brought to the supreme court by
Smith but lack of jurisdiction caused
the case TO be certified to the court OF
appeals
As told in the Journal a few weeks
ago the court of appeals reversed the
decision of the lower court and held
that the occupation tax was illegal and
in viola ton Of the constitution
The city of LeavenWorth has now APP
peaIed the case to the supreme court for
review; the papers have been filed to-
day.

GO TO DEBs IN A BODY.
Garment Workers, 1900 Strong, En-.
list in His Army.


Chicago. June 29.-Fifteen hundred gar
ment workers belonging to local union
of the United Garment Workers of Amer
lea have signifed their intention of join
ing Debs' sociaIistic cooperative colony
scheme in body. A committee of seven
members, led by Secretary John Kamke.
called on the officers of the Social Demo-
crazy yesterday and notified them of the
action of the union.
This is the first organized body of work
ingmen in this city to take such action.
The announcement was made at a meet
ing at Western and Milwaukee avenues
last night and a scene of wild enthusi-
asm followed.
The meeting was held under the aus
pieces of the Fifteenth Ward Economic
club, for the purpose of organizing local
branch No. of the Social Democracy.
Charters will be issued to several new
locals, and propaganda work is to be
pushed as rapidly as possible
Secretary John Kamke of the garment
workers says several thousand men in
his craft are willing to join the new
movement. and hundreds are willing to
enlist with the pioneers who go west.
Debs' Heutenants say the garment
workers will not be sent until homes have
been provided and the need of a cooper
alive clothing factory has been establish
ed.
1t is estimated that there are nearly
$1,000 skilled garment workers in Chicago,
of which less than one-half, it is said, are
employed at present. A large percentage
of the workmen are Socialists and many
are already affiliated with socialisttc or
CARNATIONS.
Some months ago a cooperative cloth
ing factory was started and it is still in
successful operation.
Debs expects a large support from this
craft, and a movement is on foot to cap
ture several local organizations bodily.
George VenabIe Smith, immigration
commissioner of the state of Washing
ton, had a secret conference with the
Debs people yesterday and gave them
considerable encouragement and advice
concerning the proposed colony.
Commissioner Smith says there is more
room for coIonfsts than for Socialists in
Washington. Although a sympathizer, he
does not hesitate to warn the leaders
against too much radicaIism in their plan
of organization. He says the colony will
succeed if conducted on business princi-
pies.
