BOLD GANG.
Fayette County Robbers are Not ut all
Backward In Company = Capture
Hoped for.


People here were very much sur
prised to learn that there had been
another robbery in Southern Fayette
on Wednesday night. The boldness
of the thieves cannot but result in
their capture before very long. They
have evidently not the slightest fear
of arrest but walk cody into house
and do as they please. 1t is to be
hoped that the authorities are as hot
after the thieves as reports have 1t
and that the robbers may be rounded
up soon.
There are said to be five in the
gang which Is one of the most brazen
and defiant ever heard of in this sec
ton. The celebrated Cooley gang
seems to have been revived again and
it may take some blood letting before
they leave off their defarious practices.

thus laying a foundation for wide

that there is something in the discov-
cry
THE supreme court of Tennessee
has decided against the American
Tobacco Co., in case brought to test
the law prohibiting the sale of ciga-
rettes in that state. We ought to at
once have the same law passed In this
state. Some years ago there was a
good law passed taxing them out Of
existence but our supreme court
knocked it out. The Tennessee law
may be one that will stand and we
hope to see it enacted in the state.
THE Sentiment Of the town is over
whelmingly in favor Of taking steps
toward opening park. The commit
tee Of twenty can begin the move by
applying the money In their hands to
the purchase OF the land indicated.
The idea of using the money to erect
statue to Senator Wiley is good
enough but the amount is too small
for such purpose. The place must
do that later but at least ten times
the amount now available must be
raised for it. A paltry three hundred
dollars wouldn't build the foundation
for a memorial such as ne deserves.
No RELIABLE and infallible rule can
we given by which a poor young
man may acquire wealth. Industry
perseverance, and economy are strong
and essential factors but even these
will not always win. Something
more than these is required. SQUAD
Judgment has much to do with il

THE IRON MARKET.
The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume Of
the Week In Iron Circles.

The figures collected by Cleveland iron
selling firms show that the July ore
movement was the largest in one month
in the history Of the Lake Superior
trade--a total Of 2 2,s9G.7l5 gross tons
from all upper lake ports, as compared
with 2,207 ,Sif tons in July, 1898, a
gain OF G90,OOI tons. The total move.

been noted. Reports continue TO come

The Crystal Falls Fire Department
left for Marquette last Wednesday morn
ing by way OF Sagola. An OF the boys
have had their hearts set on going TO the
tournament for mouths back and every
one that could possibly get away from
work went along. The few that were
compelled To stay home (only two or
three) looked sorrowfully on as their
more fortunate companions pulled out
OF town confident Of winning two or
three prizes.

The summer school, which has been

the village have returned To their homes.
The session hats been a most profitable
one, the attend9ncc and attention given
to the work has been exceedingly good,
in fact both Prof. riaydea and Prof.
Mickens are free in stating that they
have never attended summer school
where the daily 'attrndence, considering
the number enrolled, was any better, or
where the attention TO the work was SO
thorough and persistent.
The instruction given by Prui Mickens
and Prof. Hayden was thorough and
complete, and they spared neither time
nor pains to make the work OF the scs-
sion AZ satisfactory and agreeable as
possible, and the fact that the attend

Senator Depew gave out the following
statement regarding the action of AL
fred Vanderbilt:
When Alfred Vanderbilt returned he
decided from brotherly affection and
for family harmony to take out OF his
own Inheritance and give to his brother
Cornelius a sum sufficient to make the
fortune of Cornelius the same as that
of his brothers and sisters This has
been accepted by Cornelius in the same
spirit.
This action was altogether volun-
tary,' said Senator Depew, mo threats
Having been made. OF course, there
might have been a contest under the
terms of the will, but there never was a
suggestion of one. The whole thing
was done in most beautiful, brotherly
way
The entire fortune is estimated to be
about $4,000 600. When some surprise
was expressed at the smallness of the
amount, Senator Depew said it was not
strange when it is remembered that Mr.
Vanderbilt had been giving away per-
haps half of his income for the last
twenty-five years. The exact amount
of the fortune that is. distributed Will
not be known until it is appraised by
the state officials
The inheritance tax will be very
large. 1t is estimated by good author
tiles that it viii amount to at least

Mormon church to all the other
churches being given from figures COL
fected by the Ministerial association of
this city.
The following table was given as an
accurate summary of the results ac7

the present membership of each of the

Senator Morey of Deadwood. gives new
version of the sensational gold discovery
in the Black Hills by Otto Grantz. Sen
ator AioreY said
Il see the newspapers say that GrantZ
took a carload of ore to the mint at Den
Yer. He did not take any such amount.
Ny son Burdette. who is chief engineer
Of the Homestake mine, says that Grantz
had only q few sacks of ore, but they
netted him $4,000.
1T is the richest native rock ever I'M
earthed in the hills, and its discovery was
an accident after twenty years of unre-
hitting search on the part of Grant,.
Less than a month ago he went 70 his
claim one day and stumbled upon a piece
or rich ere lying partially exposed This
find led to the unearthing of the vein
from which he has taken the ore recently
sold in Denver. The sudden discovery al
most turned GRANTS head.
