slept in the postoffice each night for a
week. About 3 o'clock last Saturday

the room leading to the vault was
awakened by a man who was attempt
ing to pry open a window. Securing a
revolver, Cooper ran to the rear door,

ASSAS SINATION.

Beginning with April IL, 1865,
when President Abraham Lincoln
was assaSsinated at Ford's theater,
Washington, by John Wilkes
Booth there have been four nota-
bic assassinations in this country
two Presidents, a would-be-assasi-
nation of President Mckinley and
Governor William Goebel, also
fell from the assassin's shot. No
citizen of America, with one drop
of brave blood within his veins
would attempt such a eowardly
outrage as assassination. No man
that ranks higher than the deceit
full snake would attempt to take
the life OF a Chief Executive. 1t
is the coward, the sneak, that
would resort to such deed, and
they must be disposed Of. Are
there such classes in the United
States? Is answered by recent
developments. Go to our own
Metropolis and the police will tell
you of an organization. one whose

crimes. They lurk in their hiding

frequent such crimes as was com
mitted on the person Of our Presi-

as such. Our laws on assassina-
tions are too lax and like the muir
derer they should fall. To exile
would be a JOY, imprisonment a
pleasant rest. where they could
plan the commitment of deeds

be speedily amended, SO that a
man in the act of assassinating
could be punished with the same
severity as though the deed had
been a real murder.

1t was Republican Journalist

This remark was drawn from the
fact that Mr.. Bryan marched in a

an IS useful. His declarations in
past campaigns are useful as dis
turbers to the consciences Of hon
est men who tried to convince

The more useful are the declara-
tons of this great man in the face
Of present uncontrovertable illus
trations that TO coin silver was
right and would have redounded
to the interests of the people. Not

be until the tree silver theory will

that there should be an abundance
of it in the light of recent circum-
