NOT The MEN.
Supposed Philippi Bank Rob-
bers not the Men Wanted.

They Were Under Arrest in Chicago
Arrested as Buns and are Found 10
Have Several Thousand Dollars With
them Grafton Policeman Fills TO
Identify Them.
The men who were under arrest
in Chicago have been found not TO be
the people who robbed the bank at
Philippi. Policemen Stone who went
out to look after them was positive
that they were not the men wanted
here and they were left in the Windy
City.
Descriptions of the men who are
supposed to have committed the rob.
berry were furnished by several people
who saw the suspicious characters
who went up the river on the evening
before the robbery took place. The
ticket agent noticed them as did the
conductor on the valley railroad and a
policeman in Grafton watched them
for awhile.
The two men who were arrested in
Chicago were young fellows one of
them being about eighteen years old
and the other only four Years older.
They were pulled in at the Stock
Yards and were thought to be tramps
when first arrested. When they were
searched it was found that they had
several thousand dollars in bills wrap
ped up in dirty bundle that one Of
them carried under his arm.
Officers all over the country were at
once notified Of the capture and OF the
suspicion that was entertained that
the men were bank robbers. The peo-
pie who have recently suffered from
this have been going in a stream TO
Chicago since then to look at the men
and try to identify them. All Of them
have failed to do SO as yet.
The Grafton man came home this
morning after failing to identify them
as the men who were wanted in this
state.
The bank which was robbed is get
ting down to business again. They
opened up again on the next day. A
new safe which is to be up to-date and
burglar proof is to be bought and they
will soon be in position TO snap their
fingers at the attempts Of any robbers
no matter how determined. The
depositors will not lose anything by
the robbery as the stockholders will
have to make it good. They could be
held for twice the amount of their
stock If necessary.

POPULAR MAN.
Wheeling News Thinks Prof. Arm
strong is Very Acceptable.

The candidacy of Prof. Robert A.
Armstrong, of the state university,
for the democratic nomination for
superintendent of free schools is one
that will appeal strongly to allsele-
ments of the party, particularly the
young men. Armstrong is admira
bly, equipped for the office he seeks
and is deservedly popular with all
who know him and he has a wide
acquaintance. He would make a
very acceptable candidate in every
way and we venture to predict that
he will prove the strongest aspirant

LAZARUS ESTATE
IN LAST ANALYSIS
j. A. Thompson's Report
as Master on ExeCu-
tors Accounts.
CONTEST OF WILL
LOST In SHUTTLE
History Of Proceedings and Dis
cussion Of Features Of Ac-
count by Master in
Chancery.

J. A. Thompson, master, has filed his
report on the estate of Joseph Lazarus,
deceased, testate. He gives history
of proceedings in probate from the FL
ing of the will on June 30, 1897, till the
filing of petition for discharge by John
s. Walker, executor, in May last
The executors accounts gave re-
ceipts at $12,727.69 and disbursements
at sS2i554, leaving a balance due the
estate of s3iS2.15. In considering OBJ
jections of the heirs to certain items,
the master blames the executor for
selling dividend paying stocks to pay
legacies.. He finds that, at the time.
the devisees were not pressing for pay
ment and the executor had si62726
cash in hand.
Items objected to amounted sl0iG.24.
of which $40 represented property
omitted from the latest inventory.
The master allows the objections to
the amount of s491.l4, including $40
omitted and says two ivory boxes
should be accounted for. The other
objections he overrules. He mentions
$3.50 that had not been invested.
Items and footings, also commits
sions. are found correct. Adelaide
Rawson, now Mrs. II. A. Juen, had re-
fused to accept her legacy of s.. With
regard to $40 alleged to have been
omitted from the accounts, evidence
was given showing that the executor
had put 1t in the original inventory on
being told by Eleazar Lazarus, son
OF the testator, that It was in the safe.
but on opening the safe the executor
found no money. Eleazar Lazarus
had died before this testimony was
given.
The master states the curious fact
that a petition Of Henry Kikiko, a
minor heir, for revocation Of the will
has not yet been heard though regular
ly pending for about two years.

THERE is one place where the rail
roads are doing some coed to the
country as moralists. That seems
like new role for q railroad but IL Is
sog They are not morallsls on The
high scale Of doing good to Others OIL
because 1t Ia right. No corporation
ever did that. They are not organized
for any such purpose. They are Or
ganlzed to do business and the most Of
1t with the least expense. In order to
do this they lind they must employ
capable men and In order to have
capable men they must employ men
with no bad habits, OF course moth
ing IS done in this line that 10 not done
by the government to Its civil service
employees, and 1t Is no argument why
private ownership Is better than pub
lie, But then the railroads should be
given credit with what good they do
and they are teaching the country
some good lessons, For some time
many Of the roads have placed a ban
on the drinking habit. Now comes
the Rock Island with an order TO hit
no one addicted to cigarette smoking.
General Manager II, a. Parker says
In discussing the matter; I'VE want
to discourage cigare 10 smoking among
our men. Cigarette smokingls a bad
habit and tends to befog the mind
Experience shows that the confirmed
cigarette smoker Is usually sleepy and
Of no account. The Rock Island com
Jmny will employ only the best men
obtainable, persons with clear brains,

ing such persons, | do not think ciga'
ret'e smoking condpces to clear brain,
With this iu mind, we now ask every
applicant for employment whether he

less of his ability as u railroader, can
now secure position on the Rock Is
lana road il be is addicted to cigarette
habit. This question "do you smoke

this is the first instance cf a railroad
company taking an open stand against
