ing up to ME as sat in the shdie Of a
tree. He was dapper little fellow,
dressed in clothes which might almost
b. called fashionable, and on his curly
bead was jaunty hat with dropping
red plume. He had frank, open face,
a merry blue eye, and was the last man
you would have suspected of being a
robber and worse.
"Well, old man, what's the price Of
wool to-day?" he laughingly querie d.,
as he came up and offered me a cigar
and sat down beside me.
With that we began conversation
which lasted for an hour. He did not
ask for information concerning the
police, knowing that l was bound to
cne side as much as the other. We
talked of the other bands and the fate
which had overtaken them-of score
other things, and I prepared noon
day meal and he shared it with me.
After that was finished he looked at
me for a moment with serious face and
then said:
81 am sure can trust you. Tonight
I shall bring you the plunder have
been saving for months, and you will
bury it in your hut. If call for it you
will give it up; if I am killed or cap
tured it will be yours"
I made a vigorous protest, feeling
that I would be giving "aid and as
sistance,' but in the end agreed to do
as he wished. That night he brought
me gold and notes to the amount Of
$4,000 and dug a hole in the center
OF the earthen floor and carefully COW
cred in the treasure. From the ravine
the band made forays in every direc-
ton, sometimes striking point 100
miles away and being absent for
three or four days. After awhile the
police set trap for them and Two were
killed. Later on third received
bullet in the head while making a raid
on the highway, and after that
the hunt became so hot that the rest of
the band were somewhat intimidated.
On two occasions I was visited by the
police as they were out in pursuit, and
on both OF those occasions the out
laws were 'at home" and a wink from
me would have resulted in their cap
ture. The end came one nj ght when
they stopped a stage coach. 1t was
full of police, with others on horse
back behind. and the RED Knight"
had scarcely cried halt when a volley
wiped the gang off the face of the
earth. He had never called for his
money, and it was mine. Perhaps the
honest way was to turn it over to the
government, but | did not 90 it. I
simply used it 10 buy sheep and set
up station of my own, and | can't
say that my conscience has ever
rricked me enough to keep the awake
O. nights.

"Grcat thing, this electricity" he said,
US he swung himself upon the plat

the conductor Il friendly nod.
"Yes, great thing was the reply.
"All the 1lotorman has to do is to

Away she goes, SIR

ITO appreciate an invention of this

would my father, for instance, who has
been dead for 25 years, say about this
way of travelling! He used to come
home sometimes and brag about the
horse cars making four miles an hour.
He timed one once which made five, and
he didn't get over Dragging for year

"Ha! ha! ha!" laughed the conductor

"About 12, Sir"
"And no fuss whatever. That little

sir-it is almost beyond credence. Do

IF they do they don't say much"
"Probably not. That's the way with
most Of us. a big thing is novelty

"Yes, sir, he should"

NO, sir"
But what have we come to stop

back at the conductor-then at the
sidewalk. The last the conductor saw

THE DECLINE IN PRICES.

The purchasing power of the dollar
Of late years has been matter Of i'm
portant attention, owing to the decline
in prices.
workingmen, farmers and others
have found that what they had to sell
brought less and less, while their debts,
mortgages and taxes did not depreciate.
Thus they have found it more and more
difficult to meet their liabilities.
1t Is claimed that closing the mints
against silver, and thus striking down
one.half of the worlds money and max
ing gold the standard Is the cause OF
falling prices of commodities and the
fall in farm aud other values. No one
will dispute the facts, for these are
known to all.
This condition Of things affected
trade and curtailed purchases, and this
nder.consumption made over-produc-
ton. In order to protect and save
themselves manufacturers formed trusts
and sought bv tariff laws to raise prices.
They also closed mills and 80 limited
production.
All this threw men out of work and
o lly made bad wyrse, generally. "What
is one mans meat, is another maa's
poison" Evil bsgets evil A ba | tree
will not produce good fruit, we read.
Let us ask, how long this state of thing:
is to continue? How long will the
American people tolerate wrong and
outrage?
Silver money by our constitution is at
much lega, tender as gold coin; and
yet it is the work of the men 10 power
who basely betrayed their trust, and
trampled upon the rights Of the people.
They deserve execration for serving the
gold power and blighting thus ouI
glorious land.

ELECTRIC LINE.
People Of Marlboro Are Interested in
Having Means of Transpor-
tatiOn at Their Doors,

The citizens of Marlboro and th o
farmers in that vicinity held meeting
Saturday in the interests of proposed
electric line between Alliance and Cleve-
land, with Marlboro as one of the
stations. The road as proposed will con-
meet with the A. b. & Q. at Akron. For
several years the farmers around Marl.
boro have been anxiously waiting for the
building of railroad by which they
could get their produce to market. The
tamRraok swamps in that neighborhood
have been cleared and planted with celery
and other vegetables, and during the
busy season from six to eight tons Of
celery are hauled long distances to ship
by rail.

SHALL WE HAVE THE STATE OF
a 2-u = hawaii?

Senator Morgan, who is a member of
the Hawaiian commission, recently de.
livered an address before the Annexa.
ton Club of Honolulu, lin which he ex.
panded on the expansion policy of the
administration saying:
"The territory of Hawaii has a great
future before 1t, and with the increase OF
population and business that must come
from annexation and all that is implied
in 1t the road to statehood cannot be o
long one."
Some Of the Republican papers dislike
this early expression Of the assured re.
suits OF colonial system. The Phila.
delphia Bulletin, for instance, says:
The admission of such a community
as state with two senators and a repre-.
sentative iu the house would be ma
tional scandal, and it should not be con.
templated for an instant. The republic
has already paid heavy price for its
unwisdom in admitting new states
which we're unfit to perform the func.
tions of sovereign American common
mealths; but the most immature of the
western mining boroughs is far better
adapted to statehood than the mixed
and un.American population of Hawaii.
However this may all be, the same
party necessity that brought in as
states Nevada, Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho, and made two states out of Vir'
ginia and two out ofDakota, will bring in
Hawaii, and possibly Cuba and Philip.
pima, and Lord knows what other lands
and islands.
Our plan of government recognizes
statehood, and acquired territory thus
far has been with that view. But it was
never contemplated that we would reach
out in this way and take in distant
islands and alien races. This is worse
than old Rome which took in Europe,
Asia and Northern Africa, but these
were dependent provinces, not equal
states. At this rate we will be sowing
dangerous seed.
