Robbed In a Sleeper.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 20 --Edward l..
Balch, assistant cashier of the Omaha
National bank, was assaulted in berth
on the Northwestern road near Boone,
Iowa, early this morning and robbed of
$4,000. On the arrival of the train in
this city he was removed to his home and
a physician summoned. While seriously
hurt his injuries are not dangerous. Mr..
and Mrs. Amonetti, also of this city, were
victimized by the robbers to the extent
Of small sum. The affair is a very mys.
FERROUS one. Every one in the car was
asleep at the time. There is no clue as
to who the perpetrators of the robbery
are. Mr.. Balch is recovering conscious
ness. When able to talk may shed some
light on the affair.

A Wild Railroad RumOr.

A party of engineers pitched camps at
Nezperce last Monday. The people
gazed upon them with as much interest
as KIDS watch a circus company. In a
few hours the rumor went abroad that a
railroad was coming to town in a very
short time. Town lots and farm lands
advanced in price 100 per cent in few
hours. 1t finally was learned that Oil
ver's party of government land surveyors
had decided to rest day at Nezperce en-
route from the work of sectionizing a
township on the Salmon river Travel
ing engineers should respect the feelings
of the people these times and be careful
not to cause undue excitement. Land
values especially are subjected to violent
disturbances from the effects of wild rail
road rumors.

ROBBED
IN A SLEEPER

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 23.-Mr. Bryan
arrived in Topeka at II a. IN. today. He
came to this city by appointment to re-
ceive the official notification of his noini-
nation to the presidency at the hands of
the national populist party. The city
presented very much of holiday APP
pearance when the train pulled into the
railroad station. The march from the
depot was an ovation.
Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado, per-
manent chairmen of the national popu.
list convention, was called upon TO make
the notification speech. Mr.. Patterson
spoke at some length. His speech was
received with hearty applause. Hon. A
w. Rucker, also of Colorado, gave Mr..
Bryan an official notification of his en-
dorsement by the United States monetary
league.
Mr.. Bryan replied at considerable
length accepting the trust, and pointed
out the issues common to the fusion par

RumOrS of a new Compromise.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-It is said in city
railroad circles well informed that some
kind of deal of traffic agreement will be
arrived at between the great Northern
and the Northern Pacific for a strict
maintenance of rates, and that the agree
ment will also provide that each road
shall have the undisputed sway in its own
territory. There will be no more can
wasting for business by .he Great North
ern III territory of the Northern Pacific
or by the Northern Pacific in the Great
Northern's. Limits of territory of the
roads will be mutually agreed upon, and
should these conditions be brought about
1t would rebound to the profits of the
roads not only i'll absolute maintenance
OF rates, but also in the less expense in
volued in securing business. II is said
that the Union Pacific and o. X. & N.
may also be parties to compact The
agreement WILL if consumated, apply not
only to land lines, but to the trans Pa
chic lines OF the companies.
Just how much truth there is in these
rumors is at present hard to discover, but
It can be said on very excellent authority
that the relations between the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern are at
present very harmonious.

A Help to Prison Reforms.

BRUSSELS, Aug. 23.-The Internation-
al Prison Congress delegates which are ar
irving at Brussels promises to be the most
notable gathering of its kind ever held.
Invitations were issued to every civilized
nation to appoint delegates to the con-
gress and nearly every invitation has
been accepted. Every phase of the
prison question will be discussed. The
program is concerned entirely with prac-
teal problems, some of have never before
received attention at gathering of this
kind
One Of these is the matter of recon-
pensing person who suffers from a
crime. Prison administration will re-
ceive good share of attention. The
subject of intermediate sentences, which
at present exist nowhere except in few
American states will be given particular
consideration and the American delegates
are expected to explain the workings of
the law. Caring for the health of pris-
oners will be considered in all phases of
the question and another matter to re-
ceive much attention is the problem of
the habitual criminal and the devising
of the best method of furnishing him
more severely than other prisoners.

Omaha Shows Decrease

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The popula-
ton of the city of Omaha, Nebraska, &C
cording to the official count of the re-
turns of the census enumerator is 2o,5ss
for 1900 against I4o,452 in 1890.
These figures show for the city a de-
crease in population of I9,S47 or 26 per
cent from 1890 to 1900. This is the frs,
decrease i'll population so far as shown in
the enumeration of large cities.
In official circles the charge is made
that rolls ten years ago were added. II
is claimed that old hotel registers were
utilized in swelling the population Of the
city at that time.

plished without a struggle. Indeed, it is
said that many of the leaders of the party
are strongly urging that the committee
shall name an independent candidate.
Those who take this position include a
majority of the officers of the national
committee, among them being Chairman
Butler and Treasurer Washburn, who are
pronounced i'll their views. Vice Chair
man Edmiston is also said to incline to-
wards the opinion that wisdom demands
that the populists have candidate of
their own in the field.
Secretary Edgerton is credited with be-
ing the only officer of the organization
who is friendly to the innorsement of Mr..
Stevenson candidacy. MIR. Stevenson's
friends claim that Edgerton is working eff
fectively in their behalf. The best can
vass vi the committee they have been able
to make causes them to feel hopeful of
the result. Still those now committed to
the course are considerably below a ma
jority.

Won't Have Adlai.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2I.-The latest reports
received here indicate that the national
populist committee, which meets in this
city on the 2Sth inst, may not be as har-
monious as predicted when the executive
committee was in session here early in
the month. The meeting is called for
the purpose of selecting candidate for
the vice presidency. When Mr.. Towne
declined the nomination of the populists
it was generally supposed Mr.. Stevenson
would receive the populist endorsement
by general consent. The correspondence
which has taken place among members
of the national committee of the party
since the executive committee meeting
makes it plain that this result, while ap-
parently still probable, will not be accom-

Outlook Very Encouraging.

Major Frank A. Fem, chairman of the
republican state central committee, who
arrived in the city last night, having
been looking over the political situation
in Idaho county for the past few days,
states that politics in that sect IN look
very promising for The republicans. He
said he had not visited all sections of the
state as yet having only taken in part
OF the southern and part of the north
ern section, but the communications
which he received from places he had not
visited were very encouraging. He said:
There is no doubt in my mind what
ever over the outcome of the next cleo
ton. believe the republicans will carry
the state by au overwhelming majority.
Hon. Judge Standrod and L. T.. Drummer
will open the campaign in this section,
beginning Sept. II; speaking at Leland

Standrod is a very able speaker and will

The Rain Has Come.

The rain which started in last night by
spells resolved itself today into a steady
fall and continued all day. The result of
this rain, while source of much benefit
to the city, owing to the fact that the
streets are benefited materially, laying
the dust and giving residents on the hill
plenty of water out of hours, and comes
as boon to the water company, lessen
ing the kicks which have lately been
numerous, and il also has tendency to
swell the river, which has been falling at
rapid rate lately, thus insuring better
river service. But the rain coming at this
time, few persons realize the damage that
is being done TO the wheat which still
stands in the field. The grain already in
the stack or threshed will not be damaged
to any degree, but that which is still un-
cut and in the field will very likely
bleach the grain. 1t is fortunate that
two-thirds Of the grain in the Lewiston
valley is cut, but north of the city and in
the Potlatch country the grain is nearly
all standing.

j N. Stacy for Senator.

]. N. Stacy of Lewiston was visitor
here Saturday. Without any ado about
1t MIR. Stacy is doing as much for our state
and people as any man within our bor-
ders. The history of his labors for free
homes for the reservation homesteaders
is but counterpart of his ambition to
forge ahead every interest Of our COM
monwealth. Such man is safe in legis-
lative halls or any other position of trust
because our people will know Just where
to ind him every time.--Canyon Echo.
j. N. Stacy has represented Neg Perez
county ably as state senator as an ardent
republican, has labored hard to secure
the passage of the free homestead law.
He was successful in securing fair app
preparation for our Lewiston State Nor
NAL school of SIS 900, and an additional
~ 500 with which the two dormitories
were built, also all legislation in the in
terest OF the growth of the state received
prompt attention. Should the party
again see iii to nominate him, and should
he again be elected, we have no doubt
business entrusted to him will have the
same careful consideration as in the past.
His personal card of 1898 was as follows:

Business in the Weippe.

Arthur . Stacy and l.. Ben Howard, of
the Lewiston Mercantile Co., who have
recently been TO the Weippe country and
the French Greek mining district, state
that business in that section is very ac-
tive. Mr.. Stacy said:
"The mines on French Greek are all
looking fine and can safely say that the
outlook is very encouraging, their being
at least five stamp mills at work now
crushing out the gold. | visited most all
the properties there, though / went to
the Golden Gate principally, in which
am heavily interested, and am satisfied
by the showing made thus far. The
property is very ably managed by Mr..

the property OH paying basis.
1.-The Crescent is running their mill now
and the showing thus far is very en-
couraging.
THE kiondike is now installinga mill
which will be in operation soon, and
they are also erecting a number of build
ings.
"The outlook for business is fine. The
whole country up there is fast becoming
populated and the merchants will all do
their buying from Lewiston, as the prices
quoted them are just as cheap as in Spo-
kane or Portland. We opened several
new accounts in Pierce, Frazier and
other little stores on the Weippe prairie.
"A great deal of feeling exists between
the towns of Orofino and Greers, both of
which claim the only direct route to
Weippe and the French Greek country
and the citizens of Orofino have recently
begun the building of road from there
to the Weippe country which they claim
is SIX miles shorter than the one now
travelled from Greers. This is denied by
the Greer people. However future de-
velopments will settle the matter.

PARIS, Aug. 23.-The Ere nch consul
Houknow wires news of an ATTEMPT at
uprising which occurred during the night
OF August 81. A band of Chinese tried
to set fire to the house adjoining the
customs bank which is adjacent to the
British concession with an evident object
OF pillaging the bank and burning the
European quarters. The viceroy how
ever, took immediate steps and arrested
the ringleaders, siezing at the same time
arms and documents demonstrating the
existence of a secret society and organ
lied plot. Two of the leading culprits
were decapitated and their heads subse-
quently exhibited from the center of the
Chinese town. Twenty others were inn
prisoned. More trouble is feared when
the flight of the emperor to the west. if
1t is true, becomes known. The Hanhow
is situated on the river Huan at a point
where it enters the Yong Use.
