NABS A BAD GANG.
Sheriff After Desperate Battle, Cap
lures Kansas Robbers.

After a desperate fight, lasting nearly
three hours, Sheriff Mackey of Salina
County, Kansas, and his posse of live dep
uties made the most important capture Of
bank robbers that has been made in years.
The officers believe they have the gang
that has been causing so much trouble all
over the State, especially the western
part, within the past two months.
''Blackey Clark one of the robbers, and
who is thought to be the most noted crook,
was fatally shot in the back, and Others of
the gang were wounded. Deputy Sheriff
Lykens was hit in the arm by a bullet.
Each party was partially sheltered by
trees, and over 800 rounds of ammunition
were used. The battle took place in the
edge Of the timber just out Of Salina,
where the robbers, who were mounted,
had been to purchase feed and ammuni-
ton. Sheriff Mackey called to the rob-
bers to halt, but they returned his request
with volley which felled the sheriff's
horse. He got behind the dead animal
and the officers opened fire. "Blackey
Clark" was the first one hit, and with
Shrek he fell. His comrades, under a
hot fire, rushed out and brought him to
place Of safety, where he lay until the rob-
bers finally surrendered.

WILL NOT FREE SPAIN.
America Recognizes Only Cuban Mu-
nicipa1 Indebtedness.

n1C1Dal 1nQeOTeOneSSs
The American peace commissioners
have been instructed to recognize and give
standing to Cuban municipal Indebtedness.
This is not an important matter from a
financial standpoint, as the amount can
not be large, but it is peculiarly signifi-
cant in view of the stand taken by the
commissioners in regard to the so-called
Cuban debt" They rejected the Cuban
debt proposition largely on the theory that
the money represented by the bonds was
not expended for the benefit Of the people
of the island, and, therefore, should not
be a burden on the new Government.
Pursuing the same line of argument, it is
held that money borrowed by the cities Of
Cuba was spent locally and directly for
the benefit of the communities, and should
therefore be continued as a lien upon the
property upon which the loans were orig
inally made. The logic which frees the
island from obligation in connection with
that portion of the Spanish bonded indebt-
edness labeled the Cuban debt clearly
establishes the validity of the distinctly
municipal debts as a continuing claim.
There is no data at hand to show the ag-
gregate amount of the Cuban city indebt-
edness, but it cannot be monumental, as
investors would not make eXtrayagant ad-
vances on that sort Of security.

Deplore Slaughter of Game.

Much bad feeling has been engendered
at Neilsville among the sportsmen on ac-
count of disclosures relating to the ship
ment of game out Of the State. Buyers
have been shipping as high as 500 and 600
birds cartridges and grouse) per day since
the law permitted the killing Of game
birds, and paying as high as 80 cents
apiece for them. 1t is well-known fact
that at the rate game has been killed for
the profit there is in it the time is not far
distant when both game birds and deer
will be wholly exterminated. The sport
ing club of Neillsyille will petition the Leg
iSlature to make such depreda tons punish
able by law.

CHICAGO'S PEACE PARADE.
Great Military and Civic Display
Climax to the Jubilee Festivities.


The crowning spectacular feature of the
weeks peace jubilee celebrat ton in Chi
cago occurred Wednesday, when the great
military and civil parade passed through
the streets of the business section, and
was reviewed from stand in front Of the
Union League Club by the President
Gems. Miles, Shafter and Chaffee, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, the Chinese
and Corean ministers and other digni-
taries.
The weather was very disagreeable,
threa tening rain at any moment, with
cutting wind from the lake, which chilled
the sightseers not extra warmly clothed.
But these things seemed to have no effect
on the numbers and enthusiasm of the
throngs which packed the sidewalks
throughout the entire line of march, filled
the numerous stands and every available
point of view from the windows and roofs
Of tall buildings on either side. A wave of
cheers greeted the marchers in line, par
ticularly the military part of it, and more
peculiarly the soldiers and sailors returned
from Cuba
At 8 o'clock in the morning the police
hustled every vehicle off the streets, in
Guiding the street cars, in the entire dis
trict between Van Buren, street on the
south and the river on the north, the lake
on the east and the river on the west, and
they were kept off till the parade was
over.
The storm of the previous three days
had marred the decorations but they were
mostly restored and the entire district was
ablaze with bunting. 1t is estimated that
thirty thousand men were in line.

Porto Rico, U. S. A.

The Stars and Stripes have been prop
erly raised and saluted and SPANS occu-
pation-of Porto Rico-is gone.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
The acquisition of Porto Rico is the first
substantial evidence before the world that
in the hundred days war between this
country and the kingdom of Spain not
only did the victory rest with our arms,
but that there are fruits of victory.-Bos-
ton Globe.
The annexation of Porto Rico takes
place under favorable auspices. The peo-
pie of the island have not been distressed
by civil war, and yet they welcome the
American troops and have changed their
nationality willingly. Some of the old
Spanish families may return to their ma
tive land, but the great body of the people
will fraternize with the Americans who
will flock to Porto Rico to give it new
chara cter.-Philadelphia Ledger
The flag of the United States is flying
over Hawaii and Porto Rico in undisput-
ed possession. No one challenges our SOW
ereignty there for all time. 1t is an i'm
portant step in the development of the
great republic. Both Hawaii and Porto
Rico are geographically American terri
tory. In one we kept out and in the other
removed a European flag. The righteous"
ness of both acts will be admitted in his
tory.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

sunken Vessel Cast Ashore.

The wave-worn wreck of the old schoon-
er Liberty came from the depth of the
lake, where it had lain for twenty-six
years. ana was cast upon the beach at the
Government pier at Milwaukee. April
10, 1872, the Liberty ran into the light
house pier in a binding snow storm,
pounded to pieces and sank in deep water.
The captain and his small son were res
cuS1 with difficulty and one of the three
men of the crew was drowned. All that
now remains of the old schooner are the
keel and ribs, which look like the gigantic
carcass of whale.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was raised
for the families of the soldiers and sailors
who are in straitened circumstances as a
result of the late war by the Chicago jubi
lee ball at the Auditorium. 1t was a
brilliant and enthusiastic society function,

the United States, army and navy heroes,
and many other notables. The gowns of
the women were Of the richest, and the
uniforms and peculiar, highly colored CO.'S
tunes added attractiveness to the scene.
The welcome accorded President McKin-
ley was hearty and prolonged. The Presi-
dents boxes and those occupied by the
diplomatic corps were draped with flags.

should not further suffer, pecuniarily, if

Department Wants to Re-Estab1ish
the Foreign Stations,
The Navy Department is hampered in
it's desire to re-establsh the foreign naval
stations by the limited number of full
term men in the service. The enlisted
force now includes about 5000 men, who
enlisted for the war only, and it is neces
sary to keep them on the North Atlantic
or home station on account Of the proba-
bility that peace will soon be officially de-
clared, and they will be entitled to their
discharge papers. Nearly all of the 12,-
500 long-term men of the regular navy are
with Dewey's feet or on battleships Of the
North Atlantic station. 1t will be neces-
sary to place some Of the armored vessels
out of commission if the ships are sent to
foreign stations, and the department
wants to keep all battleships and armored
cruisers in active service

Into Liquidation.
The German National Bank Of Pitts
burg has closed it's doors. The directors,
in a public statement, announce that the
bank is solvent and that all depositors will
be paid in full. The suspension Of the
bank can be traced directly to two causes
the carrying of too many securities of
the Natalie Coal and Coke Company and
heavy loans to Charles Burkdorf, until
recently cashier, and Adolphus Groetzin-
ger, the present president, on insufficient
collateral. The suspension of the bank
was precipitated by the confession on
Monday last of Adolphus, William G.. and
O. III. Groetzinger and A. Groetzinger &
Sons to Edward Groetzinger of judgments
aggregating $3.50, 725.42.
