it more as an outdoor amusement and
want all people to participate, and by

Relieved of Their Cash,

This is the season of the year when
hOld-ups are a common occurrence.
On the night of the Republican rally,
two. young men whose homes are in
Iowa, ,sand who gave their names as
He. Smith and Albert Shekel, were
relieved of some over fifty dollars.
The hold-up took place in the west
end Of the village during the parade,
the assailants being masked to- con.
sceal their identity. The affair had
been careful planned the robbers
having learned dur ing the day that
their victims were possessed of money
which they had earned in the west
during the harvest season. There
were three of them when the assault
was made, and it is presumed that one
of them was the "spotter" who had
worked himself into the good grace of
the victims during their short stay
here, as be had left them only a short
time before the hold-up.
10 ensure their own safety the high
wayman escorted the unfortunates to
the railroad yards, where they locked
them up in a box car. After making
threat that their lives would be in
danger should they make an alarm
for help, they beat a hasty retreat. It
was some time before the badly fright
ened boys made any attempt to call

by some railroad men, and the matter
was reported to the police. No clue
to the robbers however was found.

The doctor sees better wages, and I
suppose everybody that was little
farsighted knew when the war COM
menced and hundred thousand men
stepped out of labor's ranks and into
the army, another hundred thousand
men got employment with equipping
the army, and another army of men
left for Klondike to, dig gold, that
that would bring UP wages. Lots of
farmers knew when the war began that
the next summer they'd have to pay
a higher price to secure a man, but
did that mean prosperity? Then I
must admit that war is blessing to
the country; I have always believed
that it was curse.
The values of land are higher. Yes,
that is right; but does that raise the
price of farmers produce? It is GER
tain that it does not lower the OK.
penses. The doctor advises the farm
.ers that if their farms do not pay, to
sell them, but does that take away the
poor conditions Of the farmers as q
class? It simply helps ehstt msn out
from the oppressed class. That is not
what we wanted. We wanted some
thing done for the farmer class as
we'll as for industry. I understand
that the doctor does not use farmer
spectacles any more; that is the rea-
son why he thinks the present condi-
tions are all right.
=. The doctor does not see the million
aires of the east, how they are using
this rich country and trying all kinds
of tricks to squeeze every cent out of
the working and producing classes;
how trusts, monopolies and combina-
tions flourish in the shade OF McKin-
ley's high tariff tree. They are using
the western states, and the eastern
also for that matter, as the Greeks
and the Romans in the olden times
used their conquered states, as q
spring from which. they could draw
for the benefit of the conqueror.
Now, it looks to me that the money
power has conquered this country,
and that We are free states only in
name. I am surprised that the people
as a whole will run after one wind
bag today and another tomorrow.
One will tell them that no knows rome-
dies for oil these evils In the country,
and tho next day hs will tell them
