1t Holds a Meeting and ReOrganizes-Mem-

masters Nipped in the Bud-Two POST
masters Offend Powers at Washington.

Wichita, Kan, June 4-Most of the
delegates had gone home and the
transmississippi congress was thinly
attended Saturday. The resolutions
had been passed, Houston had won her
tight for the next meeting and only a
few papers remained to be delivered.
w. R. Savage, of Wellington, and J.
d. Houston, of Wichita, spoke on ''Our
Trade Possessions" Savage made a
warm plea for expansion.
L. c. Henry, of Denver, created a
sensation in his speech on conditions
Of the 1ntermountain States.'' He
claimed that these states and territories
are actually retarding and losing popu-
lation because of excessive and unjust
freight rates, depreciation of mining
properties and products generally
through monetary conditions.
Prof. w. H. Isely, of Fairmount col
lege, concluded the meeting with an
address on Expansion and Our Com
nercial Interests in the Far East
The national irrigation congress had
meeting and reorganized. Hereto
fore this body had not been on a paying
basis, but from now on all members

The irrigation congress constitution
favors cession of public lands to states

that they will insure settlement of such
lands; leasing of public grazing lands;
rural free homes; preservation and pro-

Nipped in the Bud.
Washington, June 4.-The National
League of Fourth-Class Postmasters
has been nipped in the bud. Capt.
William III. Thomas, postmaster
at La Grange, Mo-, and Sam
uel p. Ivans, Jr., postmaster
at PrigmOre, Tenn, have lost their
heads in the nipping. Capt. Thomas
was president of the league and Ivans
was perniciously active in it's work
The only object of the league
was to secure an increase in sal
ary for the underpaid fourth-class-
ers, but the leaguers went about
attaining their ends in manner that
was not only repugnant to the admin
IstratiOn, but a violation of the regu-
lations of the post Office department.
Capt. Thomas is in town now to impor-
tune the president to reinstate him.
Since he was dismissed the other day
La Grange has been raised to third
class or presidential office, which
makes the deposed postmaster all the
more disgusted.

ants of the Miami Indians in this and
Grant counties are endeavoring to get
back some of the lands on the Miami
reservation which their ancestors re-
ceived from the government under
treaty provisions. William Pecongea
has returned from Washington, where
he examined the government records,
and claims that under the treaty stipu-
lations it was impossible for the gov
ernment to allot the lands in severalty
to the Indians, and, therefore, the
titles conveyed by the latter to the
white man into whose hands the prop
erty has fallen are invalid.

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Clerk Who was on Board the Train That
was Held Upin Wyoming Tells What
Took Place.

Ogden, Utah. June 4.-W. g. Bruce,
one of the mail clerks on the train that
was robbed in Wyoming, has arrived
at Ogden. He said that when the train
was stopped the robbers came to his
car and ordered him to open the door.
He refused and the robbers began
shooting into the car from both sides.
Bruce turned out the lights. Then a
stick of dynamite was placed under
the door and it was shattered. The
clerks, fearing the car would be blown
to pieces, opened the door. One of the
robbers stuck his gun into the car and
fired. but the bullet did no damage.
The lights were then turned on and
the clerks got out of the car.
The clerks in the Portland mail car
were also ordered out and the party of
clerks and trainmen were stood up in
line and guarded by one man. A de-
mand was then made of Ernest Wood
sock, the express messenger, to open
his car, but he refused. A couple of
shots were fred into the car and the
door blown off. The express and mail
cars were run down the track mile or
two to the camp of the robbers.
There the trainmen were placed
about $50 feet from the track and
about 20 sticks of dynamite were
exploded on top of the safe in
the express car. The explosion wrecked
the car and split the safe wide open.
Five of the robbers carried away two
loads each from the safe and must have
secured large amount of plunder.
When the robbery was complete, the
robbers walked leisurely up the hill
north and disappeared in the darkness.
Two hours were consumed in the rob-
berry.

CHEAP MONEY.
'Dear Money Means Fat Usury and Fat
Usury Soon Brings the Money of
Realm Into a Few Hands,"

We stand for cheap money because
only with cheap money can there be
prosperity. Money represents mer-
chandise, business. and when money
is cheap it circulates; when it circu-
lates business booms and merchandise
is bought and sold. You cannot
breed increase from barren metar' or
idle greenbacks, and two Accent dol
lars in circulation are worth infinitely
more than one 1OO-cent dollar locked
up in vault. Cheap money makes
herds of fat cattle; it rejuvenates dead
farms, builds new houses, starts new
industries, sets the idle to work and
puts hope and happiness in the place
of foreboding and poverty. Money
makes the mare go. 1t is the essential
which pluck and intelligence cannot
get along without. When money is
cheap it is easy to make more, and the
functiop of money is performed.
When money is scarce it becomes
dear, when it becomes dear it is hard
to get, industry languishes, businesses
crash, farms grow weeds, houses go to
decay, the fat cattle go to pay extor-
tionate usury, poverty and pinching
economy are everywhere prevalent and
vice and crime increase.
Dear money means fat usury and fat
usury soon brings, as Lord Bacon says,
the money of realm into few
hands"
Money that can't be cornered will
always be cheap money and the only
money which can't be cornered is that
issued by government direct to its
people without limitations or discrimi-
mating clauses.
This is the money which populists
stand for and they demand it because
it is the key to prosperity and
Kansan.

The present czar's, the Pail Mall Ga

crease of armaments, but actually to
reduce those already existing, with a
view to their ultimate total extinction.
Napoleon had just fallen, and to a
world exhausted by 25 years of we'll

ensued seemed nothing less than the

those interested in the artillery arm of

This question may have considerable

not enough artillerymen, it is claimed,
