the bank was opened. after which four
charges Of dynamite were exploded to

Cashier c. 3. Buxton, and others, who
reside near, and they FASTENED to the
scene. Although the citizens surround
ed the building the robbers remained
in the bank for an hour making re-
peated attempts to force the strong
box, meanwhile keeping up an ex-
change of shots with the villagers.
Finally the bandits fed In two rigs
which had been previously stolen.
Sheriff Anderson and posse are in
pursuit
There was only $500 in the strong
box, the package OF 81. 500 having been
received too late last evening to be
placed in it. The loss is covered by in

DICK COOLEY LET OUT.
Topeka Ball Player Given His
Release by Syracuse.

Syracuse, NY. July 1e-Diel Cooley,
first baseman for the Syracuse club of
the Eastern league, has been given his
release by Manager Leonard. A. @.
Slater, first baseman for Worcester will
succeed Cooley.
Dicks determination to be a good

Syracuse. Then again, Richard de-
mands a stars price for playing.
A meeting of Eastern league direc-
tors is being held at Hartford today.
President P. r. Powers, it is believed,
called the meeting for the purpose of
making some arrangements regarding
baseball conditions in Syracuse The
team in that city has failed to draw.
largely due to accidents sustained by
players. Newark, N. J., q city consid-

heels. Alabama is third. with an OUT
put Of 2.750.000 tons.
A striking feature OF this increased
iron-ore production is that, contrary to
the general rule, its value has increased
at the same time. The total output Of
1900 was valued at $50. $50 504, an aver
age Of s2-42 per ton. which was 81 per
ton more than the average value of
the much smaller output Of 1899. In
part this is explained BY the fact that
the big Steel Trust controls the ma
jOrity Of the best mines. though it is
due in some measure to the general
boom" in all values and prices.

LEADING ran WORLD IN IRON

TFrom the N. Y. World
The spinal column OF modern civiliza-
fion Is iron. It is an axiom that the
nation that produces and uses most
iron leads the race. so far at least as
material growth is concerned.
1t is therefore an event of large
meaning that the United States in the
year 1900 shot ahead Of all other coun-
tries in the production Of iron ore The
immense total of 27,500.o00 tons was
taken out of our mines last year. For
the first time in our history we sur
passed the lron-ore production OF both
Great Britain and Germany
Within two years the mines Of this
country have increased their output bv
nearly one-half No less than twenty
four Of our states and two OF our terri
tories are now iron-ore producers.
Michigan leads the procession with an
output Of nearly 10000. 600 tons. but
