I TRAM ROBBERS SHOWED FIonr.

Deteefivs Fatally Wounded ana one
81 the Robbers Shot.
( Holden. No.. Jan. 30--John jackson,
detective Of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas rtllroad from Sedalia, was shot
through the head by q train robber
here early yesterday. Sunday Super
intendent Hardy, of the Missouri Pa
cific railway learned that an attempt
would be made to rob the express car
on the east bound Missouri Pacific
train No. 8. A posse was organized
In Sedalia and left there on a special
train Sunday night. When the train
reached Holden the officers were In
formed that the suspected men were
at resort here. The town marshal,
another officer and Jackson started to
make the arrest, and when Jackson
entered the house one Of the men
fired, a ball passing through his head
just over the right eye. He cannot re-
cover. The officers returned the ban
dts shots, but he and his companions,
Of whom there were about six, es-
capped. Later one Of them, badly
wounded. was captured.
The arrested robber finally said his
name was Shores and confessed to
numerous robberies. He admitted hav-
ing held up the Missouri Pacific agent
at Independence, a few nights ago, and
of having robbed the Pittsfield post
office last Friday night. It is believed
that Shores and the man who shot
Jackson and escaped held up Mis-.
souri, Pacific passenger train west of
Kansas City Jan. 9, robbing the Sleep
ing car passengers. Bloodhounds
have been sent for to tree the es-
capped robbers. The proprietors of the
resort where the men were coralled
have been arrested for harboring them.
1t developed that a woman clipped off"
the planned robbery to the officials.

Taylor. Slap at Blackburn.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 3O.--It is not
likely that United States Senator-elect
Blackburn will receive any commis-
sion from Governor Taylor until the
present gubernatorial contest has been
finally settled. Governor Taylor, It Is
stated on excellent authority, will as
sumo the position that If 1t Is decided
he 10 illegally the governor Of Ken
tucky the legislators who elected
Blackburn and who were declared
elected at the same election at which
he was q candidate for governor were
also Illegally elected, and have not
therefore the power to choose SEN
ator.

McGovern's Easy Victory.

Baltimore, Jan. 30.-Terrv McGov-
ern knocked out Jack Ward, Of
Newark, last night in two minutes and
flvo seconds. The men were booked
to go 20 rounds. They went at it
hammer and tongs from the start.
Ward landed a right and left on the
jaw, without a counter. In clinch
Mac sent his right to the kidneys, and
moment later left on the stomach
and right on the tip of the jaw, put
ting Ward to sleep.

Lake Fishermen in JeODardy,

Marinette, Wis, Jan. 3O.--Six fisher
men were carried out on the ice late
yesterday, just north Of Menominee.
When last seen they were six miles
out and drifting toward the lake rap
idly. A rescue party left IN a boat,
but the prospect of rescuing the un-
fortunate men is small. The men
were fishing through the ice at the
time it cracked, and before they could
make the shore side they eyre drift
ing out. The ice is very thin, and Ii
able to break up at any time.

iApbassa1e 1erPasncefstc' Rer,r-w-nf
4 washington, Jan. so.--The term OF
Lord Pauncefote. the British anbassa-
dor to this capital, will expire In April.
Some time ago, in view of his long
and hoy orable career here, the ambas-
sador's tenure was extended until
April, and inasmuch as no Official in
timation has been received here Of
further extension, It is supposed he
Will retire after another months SER
vice. The date cf the ambassadors
departure for England will depend en-
tirely on his own wishes and comfort,
His retirement will make Baron Fava,
the Italian ambassador, the dean Of
the diplomatic corps.
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1900-01-30
Favorable to Senator Scott,

Washington, Jan. 30.-The protest
against Senator Scott, of West Vir-
ginia, occupying his seat in the sem
ata will probably be decided soon by
the senate committee on privileges and
elections In favor of Senator Scott.
The committee decided yesterday not
to take any more testimony in the
case, becaus" Of its opposition in going
behind the action of the state legisla-
ture In the matter Of selecting its
members.

With the innumerable dramatic
companies of varied excellence now
touring this country, the most con-
servative and discrete local men-
ageries bound 10 be at fault in the
selection of amusement cdifcation
oil the patrons There can, how
ever, be no possibility OF error or
disappointment OF the Bennett and
Moulton Company, which is now
playing a weeks engagement at the
Opera House. The play presented
last night was a Russian military
comedy drama entitled darkest
Russia" The play has very in
tercstlng plot from beginning to end
and III the hands OF this excellent
company gave the best of satistac-
ton to the large audience present.
1t was one OF the best performances
ever given in this city by a popular
priced company. The special seem
cry was magnificent and the cost
umcs displayed were beautiful. In
fact the stageing and dressing of
the play was equal, if not superior
to some of the best scenic pictures
ever presented on the local stage.
Many pleasing and up-to-date spec
ialtcs were introduced between
acts and the selections rendered by
the companies orchestra was alone
worth the price of admission. To-
night Will be presented Il grand
scenic production OF "Prisoner of
Alglcrs' which is claftned to be the
strongest play in the weeks reper-
tore.

The report that the Regular Re-
publicars are ready to enter into
a combination with the Democrats
to elect one Republican and one
Democrat to the U. S. Sen ate, is
unfounded. George v. Massey who
was named as one of the factors to
perfect this arrangement, backed
as he might be by the Pennsy ylvania
Railroad Company, has not the
power, even if he had the disposi-
ton, to effect such an arrangement.
The proposition to re-elect Hon.
George Gray to the Senate IN 1896,
was rejected, only one Republican
having the nerve to vote for him.
It is not likely that either Levi c.
Bird or Willard Salisbury will
ever be elected by the same Legis-
laturc to the U. S. Senate, and only
sensational reporters conld enter
tain an idea OF the kind. Ii the
Republicans secure a majority of
the members at the next Legisla.
ture, two Republicans will lie se-
lected tor Senators, men who will
uphold the Mckinley administration
including the tarit tt, honest money,
the establishment of peace IN the
philippines and the proper encour-
agement OF trade and commerce.
We want no halfway representa-
tives, but genuine Republicans, who
will sustain the flag wherever it
floats, and the principles it repre-
sents. Our country has made great
strides in wealth and population,
and its past achievements are only
an evidence of greater ones to be
wrought in the future.

PRICE IS CENTS.
Ladies' Draped Waist, No 1906.

Laaies Dfapeo waist, NO 1000.
(Hints by May Manton.)
Panne is one of the season s most
beautiful fabrics, combining the
soft pliable qualities of satin with
the rich elegance of velvet.
This dainty draped waist of
pastel blue panne, with yoke and
sleeves of black ribbon velvet fast
ened by tiny cut-steel buckles.
The glove-iitted lining which
closes in the center back is faced
to square yoke depth, with tuck
ed moIsseline. The plain backs
are applied at the lower edge of the
yoke, fitting smooth to the waist
line.
The front is draped in soft folds
slightly bloused. which give a sty-
lish, full effect so becoming to
slender figures.
The fitting sleeves of tucked
chiffon are finished with circular
cuffs which fall over the hands.
Straps Of black ribbon velvet over
the shoulders and upper sleeves are
decorated with small steel buckles.
A soft velvet belt completes the
lower edge of the waist.
The mode may also be used for
an evening corsage, omltting the
yoke and sleeves.
Lovely waists of this style may
be executed in satin taffeta, foul
ard. India silk, Venetian clotn or
poplin, with yoke and sleeves of
mousseline de sole, all over lace
embroidery or applique.
To make the waist in the medium
size will require one and three
quarter yards of twenty-five inch
material, with two and one-quarter
yards of oftuclsing, lace or any select
ed material.
The pattern, 1905, is cut in sizes
tor 30, "a, SO, 3S and 4O-inch bust
measure.
This pattern can be secured by
filling in the blank below and send
ing it to REPUBLICAN office with the
price.

The English army has thus tar
failed to make any headway against
the Beers. 1t now looks as if they
had been defeated in every engage
ment. The prospect Tor an early
peace is really discouraging. The
assertion that the Beers are a slug
gish, unprogressive people does not
appear to have been justified. In
the art Of war they seem to have
kept up with other nations. They
have improved artillery, and the
English have learned to their sor-
row, that they know how to use it,
while their Generals handle their
forces with equal skill and care.
General Joubert is a skillful Gen
eral and not in the past century
has any military leader more COM
pletely outwitted the enemy than he
has the English. They thought
the Boer army would be vanquished
in few battles, and hence the re-
lection of the proposition to refer
the difficulty to arbitrators. They
made mistake and now it is diff
cult to get out OF the war with hon
or. They had better back out,
however, than sacrifice the lives of
SO many men as will be required to
compel a surrender of the enemy.
The offer of peace should prove ac-
ceptable and the sooner it shall be
made, the better it will be for all
parties.

IT Is reported that Senator Ken
ney will dispute the leadership of
l.. Irving Handy in New Castle
County. The Senator knows that
the eX-Congreesman is very ambi-
tlous to succeed him, if only one
Democrat Is to be elected If two
Democrats are to be elected, then
Handy means to be one of those
two Senators. From the way scne
Of the Democrats treated Handy
while Bryan was guest in our
city, it looks as if the swallow-taIl
element OF the Democratic party
was not for Bryan. They held
aloof from the meetln" as well as
the entertaining OF the silver tongue

by John W. Gray.
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1900-01-30

The mistakes the leaders of the
Republican party make, should
relegatc them to the rear. The
first blunder was in nominating
Josiah Marvil, then old and feeble,
for Governor, when any man on the
Republican ticket could have been
elected. But Young men were put
aside and Josiah nominated by men
who allowed their better Judgment
to be put aside, and, hoping against
tate, seated him, and in less than
six months he was dead. The
Republicans not learning a lesson
from this, elected John A. Lingo at
the last election, State Auditor. lie
is dead and his successor will be
Democrat appointed this week by
Governor Tunnel.
