Thieves Make a Rich Haul by Daring
Move in Chicaoo


Move in Chicago.
Chi>wso, Nov. 24-An organized
band of thieves during the evening
stole United States mail wagon, con-
tanning registered mail and the days
receipts from two postal stations.
The robbery took place in Randolph
street, at the south entrance to the
Masonic temple.
Although the theft of the wagon
was seen by persons in the passing
crowd and by James Goss, the driver
OF another mail wagon, the thief
mounted the stolen wagon, whipped
up the horses and drove the wagon at
breakneck speed through the streets,
the railroad tracks in front of the
Kirk soap factory on KinZie street.
AT this point the man who stole the
wagon was Joined by confederates,
who, with an iron bar, twisted off the
hasp which held the lock securing the
iron door of the wagon.
The thieves quickly removed two
large pouches of registered mail that
a few minutes before had been col.
lected from the postal stations in the
Stock Exchange and Crilly buildings.
AS near as can be estimated by the
postoffice officials, the robbers secured
between $4,000 and $4,000 in cash,
certified checks and other negotiable
paper. Of this amount $4,000 belonged
to the postoffice, the receipts of one of
the substations during the day. No
trace of the robbers has yet been
found.

GAMBLING HOUSE HELD UP.
Two Masked Men Secure $1,943 at Co.
Iumbia Heights, MINI.

Minneapolis, Nov. 2O-Two masked
highwaymen, who proceeded with un-
precedented GOODNESS and daring, held
up the gambling house at Columbia
Heights, in Anoka county, on the out
skirts of Minneapolis. at 7 o'clock, p.
M, securing from the attaches and
inmates of the place $1,943.
George Harvey, the colored porter of
the place, while attempting to make
his escape, was shot in the right thigh
and in the left leg just above the
knee. Both are flesh wounds.
Carl Carlson. who also attempted to
escape, was shot at, but the bullet
missed it's mark
The highwaymen proceeded with the
greatest deliberation, and although
they went through the pockets of a
dozen men, they maintained a truly
remarkable composure during the en-
tire transaction.
On taking their departure, the high
waymen tossed back two dollars for
car fare.
The holdup had plainly been
planned, and there is belief that one
of the robbers has frequently visited
the gambling house during the past
few days. The men showed every evil
dence of being acquainted with the
surroundings.

Century War Papers, Nicolay and Hays
Lie OF Lincoln, ETC.; and it is to return
to the field of historical literature this
year. A striking series of illustrated ar

Harvey Smith of Dartmouth college, will
be one of the features, especially cover
ing the picturesque march of Arnold

popular book "No. John Street" is to
write one Of the serials for the Century

short stories that can be procured from
the leading writers-all these are coming
in the Century. Beautiful pictures in
colors will appear from time totime.
The pictures are richly worth framing
and place in every home. The read.
ing means wide information. culture, and
rich intellectual pleasure from month to
month. The bound volumes should
have permanent place in every libra
ry. Big returns, all this, on the small in.

Miners President Is as Calm and Con.
servative as Ever.
Philadelphia, Nov. 26. u President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America, accompanied by his coun-
sci, C. H. Darrow and Lloyd Wheaton,
arrived here from Washington at 10
o'clock p. m. The three gentlemen
engaged rooms at a hotel and will
leave for Scranton in the morning.
Mr.. Mitchell was questioned concern
ing the status of the strike. He said:
Counsel for the operators and some
of the operators had laid before the
presidents of the railway companies
tentative proposition which had been
drafted by the counsel for the railway
companies and counsel for the miners.
The railway companies wired the
strike commission that the general
terms of the proposition were salts
factory, some of the minor details to
be arranged later. The strike commits
sion adjourned until Dec. 8. in order
that the minor details might be ad-
justed."
Mr.. Darrow here interrupted by say
ing: "The initiative was taken by the
operators"
Mr.. Mitchell was asked if he thought
the action of the coal road presidents
had weakened their cause before the
commission. He said: II do not
want to say what they have done, but
I have no doubt we will win our case"

Washington, Nov 26.-All prospects
for an understanding between the
United Mine Workers and the coal op-
orators outside the anthracite coal
strike commission came to a sudden
termination late in the afternoon
through the receipt of dispatch to
Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, representing
the Pennsylvania Coal company and
the Hillside Coal and Iron company,
notifying him that at a meeting OF the
anthracite coal road men in New York
during the day it had been decided not
to grant an interview with Mr.. Mitch
ell and his associates, which had been
suggested for Friday next. The an
nouncement, coming as it did after an
all day conference between Mr.. Mac
Veagh and Mr.. Mitchell and his asso-
ciates in this city. completely sur
prised everyone here. From a reliable
source it was learned that the proposal
that the operators meet the miners
representatives on Friday next was
made at the instance of Mr.. Mac
Veagh. who was no less surprised than
Mr.. Mitchell himself at the turn af-
fairs took. From statements made by
Mr.. Darrow during the day, the i'm
preston had spread that complete
agreement had been arranged at the
days conference. but in the evenil :
Mr.. Darrow read a statement to the
newspaper men which made it clear
that no agreement had been reached
and that none was likely.
Mr.. Mitchell, when shown the dis
patch from New York regarding the
conference with the operators, simply
smiled and said that he had not sug:
gested the conference, but said that
when it was asked of him if such a
conference would be desirable, he had
replied that it would.
Mr.. Darrow said he would return at
once to Scranton and would be pre-
pared to appear before the commission
next Tuesday and go on with the hear
ing.
Mr.. Lloyd Wheaton said to an Asso-
ciated Press representative that Fri
days conference had been suggested
as a means of adjusting some differ
ences that existed, and continued:
"Yet, some of the men who last week
wired the commission as favorable to
such a conference, and caused the
commission to adjourn for week. so
as to give the parties an opportunity
to reach an agreement now complete
ly reverse themselves We are ready
to continue the hearing"
