Attempt to Rob PostOffice.

An unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the postoffice at this
place about midnight on Tuesday
of last week. An effort was made
to effect an entrance through the
rear door, by prizing out one of
the panels, but the intruders
failed to get any further with their
work, and were probably frighten-
ed away by some one passing.

reaches for a hunter up a tree after
a winters nap.
When one contemplates what Nor
gan has accomplished during the past
two or three years to make himself
absolute master of American industry
the thought occurs that the people will
be forced to do some rapid thinking
and moving if they expect to retain
their boasted liberty. With his i'm
mense power he is already in a posi-
ton to rule or ruin millions who are
dependent on the railways, steamships
mines, mills and factories that he con-
trolls How much longer will this evo-
luton continue until the climax is
reached? That is the question that is
uppermost in the minds of many
thoughtful persons.
The issue: Shall the trusts own the
people or shall the people own the
trusts? cannot be ignored with safety
any more. 1t is here-it is up for set
tlement. Where do you stand?
