have contained $4,000 was discovered
Jacky jackson and wife, John Stovall
and Charles Hayes were arrested Sunday
afternoon by Officers Dyson and Beers
charged with the robbery. They were
lonnd about four miles south of town,
where they had gone seemingly on a visit .
The evidence is circumstantial, but never
thcless 1T is said to be strong. The shoes
worn by the persons were placed in the
tracks IN the snow where the robbers had
been tracked and fit as if they were made
from them. Mrs. jackson was released at
..NS PAS'ibiih"ly toltuuuS evening".
lhe men were put under bonds of ST., 900
each, which they could not furnish, and
they were lodged in the town Jail
The safe was in charge of Messenger
James w. Sturtevant, who lives at 1905
West Fifth Street, Sioux City. Searchers
found the safe a mile and Il half from the
town, where it had been sledgcd open,
rIfied and dumped into Il snow bank.
Officials Of the company refuse to tell
the amount i'll the safe, but those in po-
sllion to know say it was a $4,000 haul.
1t is said the bank packages of currency
contained no less than 1900. The re-
mander was in bank exchange, express
coiipNny money orders and registered
packages. The safe contained not only
the money. drafts. etc, from Sioux City,
hut also from all the towns along the
Sioux Falls and Mitchell and Aberdeen
lines. The South Dakota packages were
transferred to the safe before the train
left Sioux City.

1.-The bill has double purpose-tirst, to
convert standard silver dollars into SUBJ

redeemable in gold on demand. In dis
cussing the subject, however, it will be
more logical to consider the latter PROPOSE

There is no necessity for redemption.

extent in the payment of public revenues
and private debts. l should perhaps say
the parity will be substantially maintained.

CONGRESS MUST ACT.
Cuba Offers n Knotty Quo stion for
Party Leaders

GNrNy ILe0OCrSs
Reports TO the effect that the Republican
leaders of the United States senate have
formulated definite plans for legislation
during the present session of congress on
1he Cuban and Philippine questions arc
premature, but the leaders are engaged in
an effort TO find solution of the difficult
Ties which beset them. The Cuban prob
lem offers far greater intrcacies than the
Philippines, and is looked upon as liable
10 call for much prompter action.
There is general disposition to accept
the Spooner bill as sufficient pronounce
ment on the Philippine question. Senator
Platt, chairman of the committee on rela.
lions with Cuba, is contemplating the pro-
priety OF the expediency of presenting an
amendment to the army bill covering the
Cuban situation, and he, with other law
yers OF the senate, are giving much atten-
ton to the subject.
The hope of securing congressional
action upon the Cuban constitution at the
present session has been quite definitely
abandoned and the most that is hoped for
is to secure a declaration of the attitude
OF this country toward Cuba which would
be guide to the president during the
congressional interim.
The present plan is to try to secure the
incorporation of such a declaration i'm the
army appropriation bill as the surest way
OF getting it through.
