WITH wave of his gilded wand
NHI Prince Carnival-who in the Sc
wv clusion of private life is known
as plain Jack Wilson-set the en-
tire machinery of the great Mardi Gras
ball in motion last night and made the
vast and brilliant throng assembled at
the Art Institute forget for the nonce
that there was such a thing as care and
trouble and woe.
Gayety reigned supreme. Laughter and
jollity and the ever accompanying merry
Jest and brilliant repartee held full sway,
and the mischievous spirit of the Carni-
val tide was over 1t all.
Unlike the preceding ball of two years
ago society ruled it was right and proper
that all, even including the tender bud,
should attend The mandate of the lead
ers was obeyed to the very letter of the
law, and If one prominent name should be
be found missing from the list of those
present there is but one excuse-a typo
graphical error.

ELEGANT COSTUMES.

The costumes worn were unusually
beautiful, and character dress was given
preference to the evening dress and pow
dered wig that has always been so much
in evidence at previous affairs of this
kind.
Among the many striking, original and
elegant costumes were the following:

Every school and nearly every class had
It's postmaster or postmistress, on whom
devolved the duty of distributing the gay
cards. The teachers as rule were fairly
loaded down with these tokens, while now
and then one of the kind called comics"
was surreptitiously slipped into the post
office by the bad boy of the class, who
thus availed himself of his one oppor-
tunity to let his teacher know what his
real sentiments toward her were.

manded price as fancy as the design
upon them; but nothing was too good for
the adored ones, and so the shopkeepers
reaped a golden harvest, while the heart

DESPERATE
Second Battle Fought
With Union Pacific
Robbers.
BY Wire From Cheyenne, June Z.

A second battle with the dynamiters OF the
Union Pacific express train has been fought
in the mountains 40 miles north of Casper
by the sheriff's posse, which has been in
pursuit since Sunday morning, and as
result one man and probably more lie dead.
The first battle was fought Sunday on Tea
pot creek, so miles north of Casper. No one
was wounded during this engagement, but
several horses were killed.
The second battle was fought Monday
evening at point 10 miles farther north,
and in wilder country. The robbers being
closely pressed, made determined stand
behind some rocks in a deep ravine and
when the posse put in an appearance opened
fire at close range. Sheriff Joe Hazen, of
Douglas, Wyo. fell at the first fire, being
shot through the stomach. The officer was
removed to safe place, and afterwards
brought to Casper by two cowboys, arriving
at the latter place this noon. He was then
taken to his home at Douglas. A telegram
from there this evening states that the Off
Ger died shortly after reaching his home
The posse resumed the fight as soon as
Hazen had been removed, and was success
full in short time in driving the robbers
from their stronghold and away from their
horses, which were secured. The robbers
retreated to natural fort among the rocks
some two miles away, where they en-
trenched themselves and prepared for a bit
ter fight. The posse quietly divided up and
surrounded the place, and when the courier
left the scene the officers were lying on their
arms with the robbers completely hemmed
IN. An urgent request was sent in for re-
Inducements and supply of food and am
munition. In response United States Mar
shall Hadzell, of Wyoming, who had just
reached Casper from the western part of
the state, where he had been hunting for
the other three train robbers, started out
with another posse.
The capture of the three robbers who are
hemmed in the mountains As miles north
OF Casper is now thought certain, but wheth-
or they will ever reach the railroad is an
other question as there is intense excitement
In Casper and Douglas and talk of lynching
the robbers if caught is plentiful.
Joe Hazen, the dead officer, was one OF
the best in the whole state and his death
is deeply regretted.
OMAHA, June IA special from Chey-
enne Wyo., says: A courier reached Cas-
per last night from the scene of the fight
through the lines of the posse in the intense
darkness of last night. They stole the
horses of Il freighting outfit and are now
flying for the Hole in the Wall. Sixty-ive
men under United States Marshal Hadzel
took up the trail yesterday and are in pur-
suit. The three outlaws are Bob Taylor,
of the Hole in the Wall band; Mexican and
Casper gambler named Cavanaugh.

Three Ruling Classes.
BY MOnsSini.

(Mel., Three Fishers.)
Three classes of robbers have ruled all
the rest,
Have ruled all the rest since state
was born;
They still are in power and live on the
best,
While their victims go hungry and
tattered and torn,
For the robbed must work, and their
women must weep,
And there's little to earn and many
to keep,
While the toiling millions are
groaning!
The first class of robbers has stolen our
land,
Has stolen our land God intended for
all;
Since land is the product of no human
hand,
Then an equal amount falls to all,
great and small
For the robbed must work and their
women must weep,
And there's little to earn and many
to keep,
While the toiling millions are
groaning! =,
The next class of robbers has stolen our
cash
Has stolen our cash. made for every
mans use;
And usury mongers are worthy of lash,
For they pile up our money in banks
OF misuse. 81,
For the robbed must work and their
women must weep,
And there is little to- earn and many
to keep, e
While the tOiling millions are
groaning.
The third class of robbers has stolen our
stuff,
Has stolen our stuff that but labor
creates,
And an increase in wages is met with a
bluff,
For they cannot afford to pay men
living wages;
So the robbed must work and their wo-
men must weep,
And there's little to earn and many to
keep,
While the toiling millions are
grOaning.

JOHANNES HANSEN,
Southwick, Idaho, May %, 1899.
Very few letters appear in The Repre-
sentative that deal SO directly with the
vital defects in our present industrial
systems, as the foregoing from Mr..
Hanson.
Go step further along the same
lines of argument, and to any thinking
person it will be clear that the real
:auses of millionaires and tramps, the
twin conditions so bitterly complained
Of in this country, are most closely re-
lated to several fallacioAs doctrines of
plutocracy. ii
There would be no balance of trade
in favor of this country if we had no
"over-production," so-called. There
would be no over-prOduction if the cost
of production was returned to labor in
wages, and the laborer thus enabled to
purchase back for 4 his own use that
which his labor created.
Our soldiers in the Philippines, mostly
laboring men, are opening up new mar
kets for this so-called surplus product,
and when they return they will go to
work for trusts and capital to swell this
surplus. Why should human labor
create surplus for American plutes,
and fight the Filipinos to open up a
market where the capitalist instead of
paying a fair wage, may rob labor Of
it's just reward, and in these far-off
islands sell his plumber? They call
Americans patriotic who will submit to
work for one-half what they produce
and then help their robber employers
sell the other half. Immense bank
deposits, low rates of interest, balance
of trade in our favor, plenty of money to
loan, are only a few of the many ar
guments used by the plutes, which
mean exactly the opposite of what they
claim. e. A. T.

Mr. Motsinger, after reviewing the
rotten history of the Democratic party,
replies: mo, the Peoples Party must
live, but let the Democratic party die as
the old Wing party died. Died because
she deserves to die. Die because she
seeks to reap what she has not sown.
Die because she is a partner with the
Republicans in the crime of plundering
the people; die because she conceals while
Republicans steal; die because she
holds while Republicans skin; die be-
cause she has the worst class of hire

republic; die because she confesses she
has no principles by wanting to steal
those of the Peoples Party; die because
every Democratic voter has villified and
abused every principle she now pro-

given the power, the old Democratic ma
