but we cannot now depend on the dis
trictS they came from. we had three

OF course. since tho disfranchiscment
OF the negroes, we shall not get rep

we had two from Kentucky. but one
was oy the narrow majority OF ten
We are not counting on that as certain
The other district in Kentucky gave
us Il large majority, ana they cannot
count US out OF it. We had one repre-
sentative from Texas. from the Calves
ton district. but it is always close
there. and the Presidential election
may ch"nge the result this time.
This makes Il total of five that we
arc almost sure to lose from what We
now have, leaving us Il bare majority
Of three. We are making estimates on
majority of three now, but The odds
this year are really In favor of the
Democrats. They have to begin with
122 representatives. from the Southern
states. that always gives a solid Con-
gressiona! delegation for them. In
some Northern States they have 80 of
the Congressman. In New York they
had IS in the last House, or 20 per
cent. OF the New York delegation. SO.
on the face OF the outlook the chances
for their carrying the House are better
IN ours Int anl sure We shall de-
feat them. and have majority again.
We arc going bout the campaign IN n
practical way. In 1898 we sized up the
situation and found we would lose so
districts east of the Missouri river. so
we went 20 work in districts thal had
been doubtful and we're successful in

suits again and TO redeem many of the

Columbus, Ohio. Aug. ia daring
murder and robbery was committed on
the Pennsylvania passenger train, No.
S, which arrived here from St. Louis at
11:40 last night. Charles Lane, an
Adams Express messenger, formerly of
ST. Louis, but recently Il resident of
columbus, was shot and killed shortly
before the train reached the Union Sta
ton in this city and the local safe
was ROBBED OF all the money and valu-
oDleS which 1t contained The robbers
escaped, and. as they were not seen by
any living person. so far as known,
the affair is Shrouded in mystery. How
much booty the robbers secured is
purely matter of speculation. The
safe robbed, contained only the pack
ages OF money and valuables collected
AFTER the train left st. Louis. and the
officials of the express company insist
that The sum was not large.
All the money forwarded from st.
Louis and other points Wcst, was in Il
sealed safe which was not disturbed
by the ROLLERS. probably for the reason
that they did not have time.
MESSENGER FOUND DEAD.
The crime was not discovered until
the train pulled into the Union S;ntion
here. When extra Messenger Sheldon.
of the Adams Transfer office at the
station. went to the car he was sur
nrised to find the side door. which II
usually opened by the messenger as the
train pulls into the station. closed
Pushing the door back Sheldon was
startled by the sight of Lanes BODY
lying face downward in pool Of blood
between the stove and the side of the
car in the forward end. The body was
found TO have been riG6led with bull
let's and there were evidences that Il
desperate struggle had taken place. No
less than eight bullet wounds were
found-thrcc i'm the right side OF the
back. one in tho left side and four In
the right leg. 1t seemed that two of
the bullets might have been fired into
the mans back as he lay on the floor
The bullets extracted We're of rs calibrc
LOOTED THE SAFE.
The robbers had taken the key to the
local safe from the messengers pocket
opened the safe and looted It OF every
thing Of probable value. The key was
left sticking in The safe door. The mes
senSer's revolver. with two chambers
emptied, was found in the safe where
1t had probably been laid by the rob-
bcrs after being wrenched from his
hand.
All the city detectives were imme-
diately sent out along tho line of the
railroad. and they are securing all the
neiGhboring country. How many of the
robbers there were It Is not known, but
it is considered certain there We're at
least two; because of the number of
bullets fired into the body of the ex-
press messenger.
