Dynamited the Vault.

Mount Vernon, O., Oct. 17.-The
vault of the bank at Danville, O., was
blown open early today by gang of
eight robbers. Five charges of dyna-
mite were used, and the bank build
ing, as we'll as the vault, was wrecked.
The explosions aroused the citizens,
and a pitched battle took place, dur
ing which the thieves took flight.
They were followd to Buckeye City,
where they had conveyances in readi-
ness, and drove hurriedly away. Pur-
suit was at once taken up, and a
number of shots were exchanged,
until <Adrian's woods were reached,
where the vehicles were abandoned by
the robbers, who sought cover. The
woods and all roads in the neighbor
hood have been placed under guard,
and it is expected that the men will
all be captured. During the fight a
buggy in which two of the crooks
were riding broke down and they
were forced to abandon it, riding
away on the horses. In the buggy
was found largesquantity of chick
ems, potatoes, and edibles of various
kinds, which is taken to indicated
that the gang intended to hide them
selves in the woods somewhere and
camp out until the excitement of the
robberyssha died down. At least one
of the robbers was wounded in the
fight.
/ Banker Wolfe says that the robbers
got little of value so far as he can now
/ tell.

LINCOLN. Neb., Feb Under the
heading "A Royal Opportunity" W ].
Bryan suggests IL his "COmmoner" re-
forms which the new King OF England
might put into effect. Mr.. Bryan says:
Edward VII. King of Great Britain and
Ireland. and Emperor Of India. is now the
supreme ruler over more than $4,000 Oo0
Of people. As such he has opportunities
which come to but few persons in gen
Grafton and his responsibilities are COM
mensurate with his opportunities.
1t is too much TO expect that one who
was born heir TO a throne and who was
reared in an atmosphere Of royalty will
regard the people as the source OF power.
Neither can one who relies upon Inheri-
lance for his own social and Official stand
ing be reasonably asked to disregard the
claims of both and wealth and distribute
favors according TO merit. but there is
much he could do without surrendering
his belief in the Uonarchical principle or
disturbing the aristoeraey-
He could announce his Willingness to
ioin Parliament in extending to the
people of Ireland the rights and priyi-
Ieges now enjoyed by his English sub
iects. and he could express a desire for
the termination of the war in South
Africa, in which Easlishmen are being
sacrificed and Beers slaughtered in
order to raise the British flag over a
few gold mines.
But even if he is not disposed to es-
pouse the cause of those who desire en-
larged political rights there is still
sphere In which he could employ his
energies TO advantage. Having all the
wealth that he can use and all the Of
fetal honor that he can coyet, ii is with
in his power to win the hearts of his
