ROBBED AT HIGH NOON
Bold Burglars Crack a Safe at
Marshalltowtl.
THIEF MAKES WAY WITH $4,000.
Corridors of the Building Thronged With
People at the Time--Attempt to Loot
County Treasurers Vault, but Are
Frightened Away In Time.

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Nov. 21.-At
the noon hour yesterday the office OF
the Southwestern Mutual Life associa-
ton was entered, the safe blown open
and cash, drafts and certificates Of de-
posits to the amount of about $1,000
abstracted therefrom.
The robbery was the boldest in the
history Of the city. The Office of tho
association is situated in the basement
Of the court house, one floor below the
sheriff s office and but short distance
removed from the court chamber in
which the session Of the district court
was being held at the time. 1t is sur
rounded by offices which were more or
less occupied by employees at the time
and the corridors of the court house
were thronged with residents of the city
and county, called there by the court.
And yet no one has yet been found who
heard the explosion or saw the depart
ure of the robbers.
1t took something less than Is min
utes for the robber to open the office
door by means of a pair of nippers, blow
open the safe with giant powder, tear
the money box from its place, wrap it
in woman's macintosh hanging near
and make his escape.
President H. S. Halbert of the asso-
citation was in the office until 1890,
when he went to dinner, and at pre-
cisely 12:45 F. B. Cooper, another official,
entered the Office. During the interval
the robbery was committed.
The county treasurer's Office is i'm
mediately above the Office which was
robbed. Shortly before the robbery an
attempt was made to unlock the door OF
the auditors Office, but the man was
frightened away by Auditor Hargreave,
who chanced to be in the Office at the
time. From this it is believed the rob-
Der had designs upon the county treas

Democratic National Committee to Estab.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The Democratic
national executive committee, with
Chairman Jones in the chair, spent
most of yesterday in room in the
Sherman house discussing matters per-
means and the administrative affairs of
the organization. The committee will
meet again today. Nothing was said
about a meeting of the national COM
mittee, but it is the opinion of the most
of the executive committeeman that
the full committee will be called to
meet in Washington, Feb. %, and that
the national Democratic convention
will be held the latter part of May or
the first part of June.
After the meeting had adjourned
some of the committeeman continued
the discussion of the probable situation
next year. They disclosed the fact that
considerable part of the committees
time had been devoted to discussing the
probable effect of high prices on the
campaign of 1900. They believe they

it would be the dominant issue. Con-

appeared before the committee. He
said trusts would be the issue in the

KENTUCKY TANGLE.
Goebers Managers Collecting Evidence of
Alleged Fraud.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 21.-The Dem
ocratic state campaign committee con-
cedes that Taylor has majority on the
face of the returns, but bases hope Of
the election of the Democratic ticket on
throwing out the vote of Louisville, on
account of the interference of Governor
Bradley's soldiers, and johnson and
Knox counties, where tissue ballots
were used. The Kentucky election law
plainly provides for select ballot, and
the Republicans admit that they are not
as well fortified in the defense Of their
interests in the johnson and Knox
county cases as they might be, but do
not credit to any extent the Democratic
claim in Louisville. In fact, they assert
that should Louisville be thrown out on
the pretext claimed they will not stand
for it, and that they have assurances
that Governor Bradley will back them
up in resistance, which they say is al
ready fully planned. Goebel's man
ayers announce they will not take an
appeal from the decision of Judge
Jones at Glasgow, where 1, ,195 major
ity of Nelson county votes, enormously
certified for w. P. Taylor, were ordered
counted for W. 8. Taylor. In this state
of the case, the vote of Jefferson, Knox
and johnson counties must be wiped
out to give Goebel a maj -ity, but his

The Beers are trying hard to influence
and conciliate the Natal Kaffirs.
BERLIN, Nov. 2l.-The Cologne Gaz-
ette publishes the following from Cape
Town: Everything is prepared for q
rising of the natives throughout Cape
Colony. They are ready at any moment
to make sonfasFl cause with che Bosrs.
LONDON, Nov. 21.-The present week,
according to the dispatches from the
front, ought to see a change in the de-
fensive tactics hitherto maintained by
the British in South Africa. It is said
that the task allotted to General Clery,
that of relieving Ladysmith, will tax
his generalship to the utmost.
The Beers are developing great deal
of strength in the neighborhood Of Est
court and General Joubert is reported
to be moving southwark himself in or
der to direct the movement to repel the
British advance, after, it would seem,
attempting to isolate Estcourt. The
latter movement is already in progress.
The Beers practically surround the
town.
The socalled Boer attempt to rush
Estcourt on Saturday was apparently
merely a reconnaissance, resulting in
the Beers obtaining the information
which they desired, namely, that Est
court is fairly strongly held and has
naval guns in position. The Beers
then withdrew out Of danger, but re-
manned at points commanding the exits
from the town.
Colonel Clery is lamentably deficient
in cavalry and artillery, although at
tempts are being made to replace the
former by outlander mounted infantry,
of which about 1000 have started for
the front.
The reports of heavy fighting at Lady
smith last Wednesday have not been
confirmed. Beyond the fact that the
Beers are daily receiving fresh rein
forcements and supplies there is prac-
tically nothing new.
The Boer invasion of Cape Colony
continues steadily and rapidly. There
are 1900 Beers at Colesburg and news
has reached East London that Lady
gray, near Aliwal North, has been de-
serted by the British and is now in the
hands Of the enemy. A Pretoria dis
patch reports the arrival there among
the British prisoners OF Major Haldane,
Lieutenant Burchie and Lieutenant
Hallway.
1t states the British made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to GUST the Boer com.
mandoes from the vicinity of Mafehng.
Tho Daily Chronicle in it's WAR

be influenced by mere rumors and we
find there suspicious that some of the
meat supplied to the governments for
use on British transports was meat that
has been rejected by the United States
during the hostilities in Cuba, where it
was picturesquely known as 'embalmed
beef and relabeled with the mark of
the current year. Whatever blunder
there may have been must be laid, not
at the door of the war Office, but at the
door of the admiralty, which has under

Creates Sensation by Flatly Contra
dieting Sworn Testimony of Other Rail-
road Presidents.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-The testimony Of
President Stickney Of the Chicago Great
Western road today before the subcom-
mittee of the national industrial COM
mission Investigating rate discrimina-
ton, was given very frankly and some
of his statements caused sensations
among his hearers. His first declara-
ton was:
81 tell you frankly these published
freight rates are not maintained by the
railroads and cannot be maintained. It
is an impossibility. The interstate
commerce law as far as Investigations
and corrections are concerned, is roar
ing farce"
A sensation was created as the state
ment fatty contradicts the sworn testi-
mony of more than half a dozen rail-
way presidents who said freight rates
were adhered to strictly.
"I'm hereto, / know" said Mr..
Stickney, by way of intnsauction to his
arguments that congress should keep its
hands off the business affairs of the
country, that powers of the interstate
commerce commission should not be ex-
tended and that carrying charges must
vary, as do prices for commodities in the
trade world, on conditions. He asserted
that, contrary to the reports made by
the commerce commission, automatic
couplers and other appliances had in
creased accidents. The question Of is.
suing free passes was taken up. The
witness conceded with the view that
this practice should be abolished.
Congressman Lorimer then asked an
opinion of the imprisonment feature OF
the anti ti-scalping bill several times pre-
sented to congress.
ga most outrageous piece of barbar-
ism," was Mr.. Stickney's comment.
"Do you favor publicity of railroad
affairs?'' was asked. ''An examination
of books by government experts, as
with banks?"
81 am opposed to every principle Of
government paternaGsm, except in po-
lice authority. would object to gov
ernment inspection of national banks.
Government interference has wrecked
more banks than ever went to pieces i'll
any other way. As to government own
ership, believe that the federal govern.
ment, if handling the railroads, would
meet with the same limitations against
which private ownership now has to
contend.'
