Reward Onered For Capture of Adam
Express Agent.


Express Agent.
ORRVILLE. o.. March 9.-The night
agent of the Adams Express company
at this place has absconded, taking
with him an express package contain
ing $4,000. This package of money was
sent by a Cleveland bank to a bank in
Akron, but as the train on the Cleve-
land, Akron and Columbus railroad on
Saturday night is what is called the
theater train and runs three hours late,
leaving Cleveland at 1850 p. m, there
was no express agent at the Akron
office. and the package was carried
through to this place.
on Monday the day agent here receiv-
ed a message asking Information con-
cerning this package of money and
what had become of IT,. He immediate
y informed them that he knew nothing
Of it. that there was no record Of It be-
ing received here on the books, and also
that the night agent, Charles Cutten,
was missing, and UP to this time his
whereabouts was unknown.
The matter has thus far been sup
pressed on account of an official inves-
tigation. Cutten resided here for sew
eral years. and his character was
thought to be above reproach. The
company has offered a reward for his

THE TAILOR WAS BRIBED TO

THE TAILOR WAS BRIBED TO
MAKE ANOTHER.
One OF the notables OF the Conven.-
tion of tho National Stock Growers AS
sOciatiOn, now in session in this city Ia
Joseph G. Mccoy, a Kansan OF Scotch
Irish, Tennessee kentucky descent. He
is a man whose personal appearance
would make him conspicuous in any
assemblage. He is over feet tall, and
his hair is a weather-worn gray-not
the silver gray which covers the heads
of men who grow Old in offices or stu
dios, but the tawny, vigorous gray
that an old man has who has spent his
life sailing seas or penetrating little
known lands.
You know he is a Southern man be-
fore he speaks. The soft hat, the big
Chesterfield coat, the high-heeled boots,
with the soft calfsl1in bootleg wrinlk-
ling down about the ankle. all pro-
claim the mans descent-and yet he
was married in, and still cherishes,
the coat that Abraham Lincoln was to
have worn when he was inaugurated.
The faces of men who have gone with
the vanguard into new countries, who
have toiled by day on the sunburnt
plains and lain by night under the
open sl1ies-the faces OF these men are
book, and the book almost always
reads of courage and honesty, OF forti-
tude and faith, and determination and
manhood
Colonel McCoy's Is one of these faces
and figures; almost a patriarch under
the tale Of his years and yet young
enough to glory in his strength. One
Of the eolonel's meditative occupations
is to ascertain the strain of blood in
his breed. His people halve been
Scotch-Irish through adj the descent,
and his father was a Tennesseean and
his mother a Kentuckian. He was
born in Illinois and moved into Kan
sas In 1867.
The colonel took part in two import
ant campaigns in 1858. In one OF these
! he helped Abe lincoln to beat Ste
phen A. Douglas, and in the other he
laid siege to q charming young woman
Of the same province and captured her
I He celebrated the Lincoln inaugura-
tion by marrying the maid, and he
married her clad in the coat the
Springfield tailor made for "Abe" to
be inaugurated in. He got the tailor to
''hustle up another coat for Abe " in
which to take the oath. and when
abe" was swearing in Washington to
do his duty by Uncle Sam young Nc
Coy was, on or about the same time.
meel1ly promising to love, honor and
implicitly and forever without ques-
tion or kicking" to obey a charming
young woman of "Abe's" own town.
and ne was wearing the coat 'Abe" was
to have worn.
Some of Colonel McCoy's friends in
sist that the garment fitted the groom
better than it did the president. which
they declare. is not saying that the
colonel would have made a better presi-
dent for the coat than "Abe" Lincoln
but simply that he was possessed OF a
better figure. That may be true. for
in his young mans days the colonel
must have indeed looked a man among
men.-Denver Times.

Dyea and Skaguay are today the
liveliest youngsters on the American
continent. Only few months old, and
yet their inhabitants are counted by
the thousands: saw mills and lumber
yards cannot begin to supply the mate
rial for house building; therefore, let
the Klondike fortune-hunter take his
tent along and pitch it wherever he can
if he would sleep under cover.
The visitor to these ast-growing cities
is at first bewildered. There is moth
ing in the surrounding scenery to at
tract the multitudes, especially in win
ter, and he naturally asks himself, Why
this infiowing of humanity? The an
swer is simple enough-Klondike.
The returning Klondikers who have
just come out from Dawson, and I have
had the privilege of Speaking to many
of them, unite in saying that the won
der Of the nineteenth century is Klon-
dixie. But really all Alaska is a Won
derland The best way in to the lakes
Is of great Importance. The Skaguay
trail runs 500 feet lower that the Chill
koot but though the grade is easier II
is about fifteen miles longer and in sum-
mer Is lfnpaSSaDle. Inc rains ana melt
ing snow make the earth below your
feet like a sponge which neither man
nor beast can pass over The 5000 dead
horses by the side of this trail which
fell there last summer are an eloquent
testimony to the difficulties which have
to be encountered. At the selling prices
those poor beasts represent a financial
loss of 100000 What is to be done with
their carcasses next summer, when the
hot sun looks down upon them for Il
hours day is problem yet unsolved
There is talk of building a railroad
along the Dalton trail from Pyrimade
harbor. Is miles below Dyea, to the
interior; but I saw no signs of the
naturalization of this scheme. But
should this happen, inside of that har-
Dor will spring up the great city OF
Alaska. There the largest vessels and
biggest fleet on earth can safely anchor
at all seasons Of the year. These several

AS you leave the opera house and the

Such contrasts beget malcontent, So
