TRAIN ROBBERY AT DEEALB
Five Masked Men Flag Northwestern
Limited and Shoot Engineer,
DYNAMITE EXPRESS CAR AND ROB SAFE
station Agent BADLY Pounded Up and
Left Unconscious on Depot Floor
-Robbers Escape with
Their Booty.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13-The Northwestern
limited train leaving Chicago at 10: 30 p. m.
tonight was held up not far from DeKalb,
ILL.,, and robbed. The train is due at De-
Kalb at 1920 and the holdup occurred at
Tower w, three miles from Maple Park, III.
1t is no. known whether the robbers
secured any great amount OF booty. A
special train containing a number OF armed
men and detectives left the Northwestern
station in Chicago tonight bound for the
scene Of the robbery.
1t is said there were five masked men
engaged in the operation The train was
tagged and while two Of the men compelled
the engineer and fireman to run the engine
ahead the balance of them robbed the train.
The train dispatcher's office of the North
western road in this city admitted the truth
of the story to the Central police officials.
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the train
was due at Maple Park the robbers burst
into the station house and presenting re-
volvers at the head Of the station agent,
compelled him to remain quiet while they
bound him. After tying him fast to chair
they forced a gag into his mouth and left
him utterly helpless.
The signals were then changed so that the
train would be compelled to stop before
reaching the depot. The robbers went down
the track to the point where the train would
stop and waited for it.
AS soon as it came to halt one OF the
men covered the engineer and fireman with
revolvers and after uncoupling the engine,
compelled the engineer to run down the track
two miles.
They then blew up the express car with
dynamite, practically demolishing it and
blocking the track. They then blew open
the safe and riled it. 1t is not known how
much money was secured.
Immediately after grabbing what they
could from the safe, the robbers fled into
the darkness. They are now being pursued
but the robbers have quite a lead over the
posse that is after them.
Engineer Daniel White of the train was
! shot and it is reported very seriously
wounded in the breast, because he refused
| to run his engine away from the train
| the engine down the track two miles to q
switch, whore 1t was KILLED" ~
1t is reported that the station agent was
| badly pounded up and was left unconsciou:
on the depot floor when the robbers wen
out to stop the train. 1t is not though
that his injuries are fatal, but it was two
hours after being assaulted before he re
covered consciousness.

Ohio Orator Warns Up the Populace
In Buffalo County.

KEARNEY, Neb., Oct 13.-(Special Tele
gram )-General Charles II. Grosvenor OF
Ohio arrived in the city this afternoon and
was met by Mayor Hostetler, Chairman Mac
donald of the Sixth district congressional
committee and other prominent personages.
A large crowd greeted him tonight at the
opera house. where for two hours he dis
cussed the political issues in a mastery
manner. He was listened to with intense
interest. He warned the populists that the
democrats would swallow their party after
this year and extended them welcome
to the party Of progress, patriotism and
prosperity. His arraignment OF the demo-
cratic party for its opposition to the best
interests of our government was logical and
brought forth frequent applause lie ex-
presses himself as very much gratified over
the outlook for success of the party this
fall in Nebraska.
A number of old soldiers were on the stage
and delegations Of citizens from Elm Creek
Shelton, Miller and other towns were pres
ent.
Notwithstanding it was a night meeting
many farmers took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity TO hear the distinguished speaker
Chairman Macdonald introduced the con-
gresham in an eloquent and terse speech
The republicans Of Buffalo county are
greatly encouraged over the situation.

PALMER TO WORLD.HERALD
Republican Chairman Takes the
Paper to Task for Foolish
and UncaIIed-FOr Lies.

LINCOLN, Oct. 13.-(Special Telegram.)-
II. e. Palmer today sent the following tele-
gram to the Evening World Herald:
"As republican and member of the
Patriotic league of Omaha l am quite willing
to welcome at our meetings all the populist
reporters you may choose to send to make
public our speeches and resolutions, but
protest against false reports made wholly
for the purpose of stirring up strife in the
republican ranks.
1T was foolish and uncalled for lie to
say that there were any resolutions relative
to the support of the county ticket voted
upon and defeated at our meeting at the
Millard hotel last night. Not one word was
spoken or intimated against the county re-
publican ticket. On the contrary all the
speakers spoke for the entire ticket, city,
county and state, and ! aver that there was
no anti-Rosewater, anti Moores, anti-Web-
ster talk. 1t was anti Organism, anti popu-
lism and anti-anarchy.
THE republicans of Douglas county were
never more harmonious or in better trim for
the contest November 7 next than they are
now and we will surely elect every nominee
city, county and state.

HAYWARD Is ENTHUSIASTIC
Nebraska's Junior Senator Feels
Quite Certain that the Republican
Party VIII Carry the state.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Senator Hayward, accompanied by
Mrs. Hayward, is in the city. Speaking
of the situation politically in Nebraska,
Judge Hayward stated today that while con-
dtions were somewhat involved, he believed
that Judge Reese would be elected to the
supreme court.
1--WE have only 5000 votes to overcome
to elect our whole ticket" said he. Bryan
is making the fight of his life in Nebraska
to hold it in line for next year. He needs
his state in next years convention and he
is using every artihce to secure it. He has
spoken in more small towns in our state
than ever before in his campaigning which
to me indicates the desperateness of his
cause. Bryan today is generalizing. He is
fitting at windmills and leaving his first
principles for others to catch passing breeze
He is not hurting us IN his speeches on
expansion. for he hrs - Ntedly said that
the Americans should iratyN tne Philippines
as Americans and that could have no other
meaning than that he wants the United
States to triumph in putting down the Agui-
naldo insurrection.
Americans have never battled for the
right except that they have won it, and |
believe it will be the case now. OF course
we have a fight in front of us in Nebraska
l believe, however, we will elect Judge
Reese, who is by long odds the strongest
man who could have been nominated. Local
issues will necessarily play no inconsequen-
tial part in the campaign and the fusionists
| have enough troubles to make tho contes,
| interesting. So far as the financial question
| Is concerned 1t is not cutting much of a
| figure We were never rampant for 16 tc

CHAPLAIN MAILLEY AT HASTINGS.
Delivers n ROusinE Address at the
Adams County Metropolis.

HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 13-(Specal Tele-
gram. THE campaign opened here tonight
with Chaplain Mailley OF the Fighting First
Nebraska addressing nearly 1000 people in
the Kerr opera house.
He opened his address with the remark
that he never voted the republican ticket
in his life, but he did not say 1t boast
ingly, as he said it was no credit TO him
self In explaining why he was here to-
night he assured his hearers that he was
out for the honor and for the purpose of
explaining the true situation in the Philip
pines and not for any political pelf.
Mr.. Mallley said he got his first appoint
ment from populist governor and went "a
the front as chaplain of one OF the best
regiments Uncle Sam ever sent out
or ever will send out. Not long
after he had been in the Philippines
he received a request from the religious
paper. the New York Independent. to write
his opinions of the Philippine situation. Ir
his articles to this paper he stated the ex-
act conditions as no found them and lait
no stress upon certain things that seemel
to stir up the people at home.
He was greatly surprised when he landet
at San Francisco to find that his writings
had been copied all over the United State
by the republican papers, but the other pa
pers failed to appreciate them. He became
republican the minute he found hlmse
with the present administration when h,
landed at Frisco.
Before going to war he believed the re
publicans were not to glorify God but de
stroy the country, but now he has no fur
ther use for calamity and calamity howlers
He said. whether he was with Presiden
Mckinley or not he would stan,

Publication of Bryan Letter to Morton Hits

THEY ADMIT BRYAN WAS AFTER MONEY

the Ground that There Was
No Honor Connected
with II.

LINCOLN, Oct 13-(Special)-Th re-
productiou of the Bryan letter took the
popocratic crowd at the state house by sur
prise, but they have so far recovered as TO
be able TO offer excuses for the expression
OF the sentiment:
81 assure you that it is the money that Is
in the Office and not the honor that attracts
me-"
At the state house 1t is asserted that the
secretaryship of the State Board Of Trans
portation is not an Office, but simply place
and vt is admitted that Bryan could have
wanted 1t for no other reason than Tor the
money there was in it, because there was no
honor attached to it., The letter 20 j. Ster-
ling Morton has been published in the east
ern newspapers and even In Denver, the
silveriteS' stronghold.
The University Reese club has adopted
the following as a pledge of Its allegiance
to Dean Reese OF the law school in his can
didacy for supreme Judge:
believing that the judiciary of the state
should be kept free from partisan politics
and that man aspiring to the high Office
of justice of the supreme court should do
so from the standpoint OF competency and
fitness, and not from political considera-
tions; and furthermore, that Judge Reese
is a most worthy aspiraut for judicial hon
ors we, the members of this club, pledge
him our most loyal support"

Several thousand people met in a tent to-

viewed regarding his letter to j. Sterling

office for the money there is in it, not for
honor. Mr.. Bryan chatted very agreeably
