Daring Bank Robbers TerrOrfse an
Ohio Town.

A daring attempt to loot the Ressler d
Ashbrooke Bank at Alexandria Licking
county, Ohio, was made early yesterday by
q gang of six or seven men. Nothing was
secured however, and after standing on a
crowd Of citizens. at whom they fired re-
peatedly for an hour, the robbers escaped
in stolen buggies.
A loud explosion about 1 am. awakened
Cashier Buxton. who had apartments over
the bank Other persons living near by
hastened to the scene. II was found that
the outer door of the bank had been forced
open and that six or seven men were at
work on the strong box inside the vault.
The outer door of the vault had been torn
TO pieces with a charge Of dynamite. Sew
eral shots were fired into the bank. but
only served TO draw a weu-directed reply
from the robbers, who continued their et-
forts to open the inner vault for nearly an
hour. Meantime the citizens were debating
plans TO effect capture. Suddenly. shoot
ms right and left, the robbers rushed from
the building, ran through side Streets
ieaped into buggies which Shau been con-
veniently placed and made their escape.
An examination OF the vault showed that
little of value had been secured. A pack
age of 81 500, which had been left over
night In the outer vault. was found among
the debris.

the premier, realizing the futility Of
attempting to prevent partition of the
empire, concluded he might as we'll
be one Of the first to make selection
of pieces and chose the great Yang
TIE valley, leaving the north for Rus
STA to appropriate.
Of course, all this may be wrong
and future events may put an entirely
different phase upon matters, but with
the information at hand the surmise
is justified. Should the long discussed
ACKNOWLEDGMENT be in course of actual
contamination the United States can
only protest, as it has already protest
ed, and insist upon equal commercial
rights in the parts affected, it having
no territorial designs, but seeks only
to protect it's commercial interests,
leaving the other powers to settle the
matter of political supremacy among
themselves.

postal frauds. They hold up the re-
fusal as another awful example of the
imperialistic tendencies of the admin
istration and pretend to see great
danger to the republic lurking in the
act. The simple facts in the case
are that the president and his official
advisors deemed it unwise to give pub
licity at this time to the report, as
they thought to do so might interfere
with the course of justice, as it would
give the guilty an opportunity to
learn the nature of the evidence
against them which the government
holds. This was duly and fully ex-
planned when the refusal was made.
Had the report been submitted and
publication Of it's contents resulted in
giving information of a character ad-
v%antageous to them, the same papers
could be relied upon to charge the
administration with conniving at the
escape Of the guilty.

A DOUBLE INSULT.

It has remained for the Great Falls
Tribune to follow the example of Pet
tigrew nd place the same construo-
ton upon the appointment of James
F. Harlan for attorney general OF
Porto Rico as the South Dakota
snarleyow. Unlike him, it lacks the
courage to make the charge openly
and direct and contents itself with
cowardly inuendo. Both Pettigrew
and his Montana coadjutor not only
insult President Mckinley, but also
Justice Harlan by insinuating that the
appoint ment Of his son may influence
him in the decision he may render on
the Porto Rican case. We're it not
for the fact that Senator Hoar is
known az one of the strongest and
ablest opponents of the administration,
the Tribune probably would also
charge the effort making to increase
the sal aries of the members OF the su'
preme court as another attempt te
influence them. Fortunately the dis
tiguished jurists are spared this posi-
BILE insult by the fact that Hoar is thu
author of the proposition.

The Anaconda Standard evidently is
trying to place a trap for Mr.. Clark in
order that there may be another in
vestigation at Washington. 1t assures
him that if he goes about the thing
in a right way he can be elected
without the aid Of the S%usionists who
refused to go into cauNus and are
seemingly opposed to him. In view
of the papers attitude of two years
ago and the charges it as repeatedly
made against the gentleman since
then, it is very apparent that it rec
ommends open transoms and the other
methods of ''doing business which
are alleged to have formed a not in
considerable feature in the previous
election. The Standard seemingly
thinks that it might open up another
news mine with the underground
workings of which it is thoroughly
familiar by reason of the similarity Of
the ground to be worked.

A CASE OF

AS O as information was received
on this side that General Macarthur
had decided to deport some of the
more active Of the Filipino leaders
and place them in a position where
they would be powerless for mis-
chief, The Gazette prepared itself for
an outbreak of democratic denuncia-
ton of the act as one Of barbarous and.
inhuman warfare. In this it was
not disappointed. Many OF its demo-
cratic contemporaries have done just
what was expected Of them and Gen
eral Macarthur and the administra-
ton have come in for ample abuse
from those publications. Some of
them assume a threnetic tone and be-
wall the cruelty of such an order
and the monstrous i~nhumanity of a
general who would issue it and the
fendishness Of a government that
would sustain him in its enforcement.
In issuing the order General Mac
Arthur took an easy way of Kidding
himself and the islands of a class of
men, who while protesting loyalty
we're secretly giving assistance and
comfort to those in open rebellion.
He also merely followed the precedent
established by the United States in
placing the Indians upon reservations
and keeping them there. Or to &C
a little further, he is doing with the
leaders, or some of them at least, as
the government did with Geronimo
and some of the worst of the Other
Apaches-deporting them from the
territory in which they had grown
up to one unfamiliar to them ant
guarding them SO that they may no
escape and again cause mischief. Thu
newspapers who are sympathizint
with the Filipino rebels had no pit,
for the Apache chief and the rebels h
led. The cases are analogous.

~LEGISLATING IN STYLE.

If their performance of the first day
two of the session is to be taken as
earnest of their intentions, the fu-
sionist legislators may be relied upon
to soon relieve the state from the en-
barrassing position in which it now
finds itself-with money in the treas
ury and no excuse for spending it.
One of their first acts was to create a
number of new offices in order that
some of the "boys" might be taken
care of during the time the legislature
is in session. The fact that their SER
vices are not needed and that former
legislatures having a membership no
smaller than the present managed to
get along with fewer lackies to dance
attendance seemed to make no differ
ence to the gentlemen who owe their
election to fusion. They had friends
to be taken care of and political
promises to fulfill, and, besides, all
good fusionists could not be elected to
the legislature or other easy jobs of
fixed tenure and liberal compensation.
Where other legislatures managed
to worry through with four pages,
the present combination cannot pos
sibly do business with fewer than six.
Then, too, the lordly gentlemen. by
the grace of fusion and a barrel with
both ends knocked out elected to the
legislature, cannot get along without
a man in livery and powdered wig to
relieve them of their overcoats and

THEY SHOULD BE HONEST.

Reference to democratic opposition
to an increase Of the nations stand
ing army is at the expense of being
subjected to the charge of delving in
to ancient history. But the question
is one that is interesting for all it's
age and familiarity to every person
that reads a newspaper. Of course,
the reason for the opposition is we'll
understood. The republican party
favors it. That fact of itself is all the
reason any democrat requires to Salts
fy him that it is wrong and that it is
his duty to oppose it. We're it given
to the average democrat to reason
from any other standpoint than Of
rank partisanship the opposition tc
the proposition to increase the army
would probably cease.

A "LAUGHING GIRL"
One Who Tried to Laugh and Couldn't
Shut Her Mouth.

Mary White, a 16-year-old girl of
GALWAY, near Kearney, Neb., has won
for herself the name of ''The Laugh
ing Girl For weeks her mouth re-
manned fixed in a laughing position
and all the eminent physicians of west
ern Nebraska could not change it.
The girl, who lives with her par
ents on a sheep ranch, is noted for her
good nature. One day while eating
dinner she was amused by a TESTING
remark and threw back her head to
laugh, opening her mouth wide.
When she tried to close her mouth she
could not. Her jaw bones remained
fixed wide apart. Hot applications
and home remedies were used in vain.
A physician was called, without
avail. Finally nearly every doctor Of
any prominence in western Nebraska
was consulted, but brought the un-
happy girl no relief. She was nour-
ished by artificial means. but was
failing fast when an osteopathist, by
manipulation, caused the muscles to
relax and the jaws resumed their nor
NAL dosition.

if the people may complain of the

if the people may complain of the
expense.
Chinooks occasionally wander
through Last Chance gulch and as
there are several more gentlemen of
the fusion persuasion who have not
been given jobs and others who have
sons whom they are bringing up to
appreciate the beauties of hybrid pol
itics, the public may as we'll prepare
itself for the announcement OF the
appointment of a bootblack to the
house Of representatives, and a sulta-
BILE staff of assistants. A bar not be-
ing one of the fixtures of the quarters
the state of Montana provides for its
lower house, some grave and reverend
lawmaker from Silver Bow will next
move for the creation of the office Of
chief bearer of cocktails that the
members may be spared the labor and
inconvience of going to the nearest
drink emporium when in need of in
SEPARATION or a tonic to restore nerves
shattered in the wearing service of the
commonwealth.
1t is not every time that the state
has the distinguished honor of having
for it's lawmakers gentlemen of such
rare personality or representative OF the
same principles as those who are now
making inroads on its treasury and it
should not be niggardly with them.
If they want footmen. funkies and
lackies without number and assistants
