charges of powder were used. 1t was
after o'clock before the job was fin

The noise of the explosion aroused F.

on guard in the street, covered him
with Winchesters and kept him from
giving the alarm. Meantime their two
comrades inside the bank worked away
with redoubled energy.
In blowing the safe considerable pa
per. money was blown into bits and left
ON the floor of the vault, but L. Q.
Brown, president of the bank, says the
robbers got 1880 in gold, $500 in sill

bills.

at LeaVenworth.

Leavenworth, March 21.-During her
recent visit to Leavenworth Mrs. John
c. McClintock, president of the State
Federation, laid the matter of a city
federation before the members of the
different women's clubs in the city,
saying that the Topeka clubs had found
it of much mutual benefit. Whether
from building a club house or planning
for a series of lectures or any purpose
whatever for all to work together,
unitedly and tremendously as an orga-
nized whole was the means of saving
time and expense.
In response to these views on March
18th the following clubs The Art
League, The Salon, Chautauqua Circle,
Drummond, Whittier club, Philomathe-
an club, Thursday Reading club, Sat
urday club, Clio club, Fortnightly
Study class and Catholic Literary club
of the city sent delegates to confer to-
gether at the board of education rooms.
The result of the conference was the
adoption of a resolution to form a fed

mittee to draft a constitution to pre-
