meeting Friday evening to consider a
proposition from Johnson Brothers
from Hamburg to establish brick
yard at this place. The proposition in
brief is for the business men of Far
ragut to guarantee the sale of 100000
brick at an established price. A pa
per was circulated for guarantors

excellent quality Of clay is founda near
town and the Johnsons are good brick
makers, They already own yards at
Hamburg, Riverton and Nebraska City

After replying to Mr.. Dawes objec-

The first milestone I want to fix in
every mans mind and every woman S
mind is that you must have one stand

standard OF the civilized world, with
which we do a vast amount of bust
ness. And when you have a standard
all the money that is in the country is
in that standard. Everything else. sill

checks and drafts are all currency

redeem your greenback in gold, and
your checks and everything of that
character must be measured in gold
which is the only money in the country
There is no money but gold, and all
the rest is currency, two things dis
tinctly different.
Now the second milestone is this.
that it is utterly immateral to this
country whether. to have enough gold
TO go around, you produce s200,00000
of gold in the mines or you raise $780,,
100000 worth of cattle or corn. The
cattle and corn are worth as much as
gold, and you can get the gold from
them as easy as any other way. In
other words the productio of gold in
the country has nothing to do with the
In 1860 we had $20O,000.000 gold in
the country, and by 1878 we had pro-
duced nearly billion of gold. and yet
all Of that billion disappeared because
of the conditions of the country
THE next milestone 1 desire to have
you fix in your minds is this, that a
balance of trade in our favor will not
determine how much gold you have. II

ter midnight on the Northern Pacific
tracks near Homestead, eight miles east

about two miles. After the robbers had
left with the engine and cars the train
men of the passenger train hastened back
toward Butte and met an incoming
freight train, the engine of which was
uncoupled to run to Butte and the alarm

their bloodhounds to trail the bandits.
The railroad company also offered 5000
reward for their capture or $1,000 re-
ward for each member of the gang caught
and convicted.
The train was double-header. and the

ments after the train was stopped there
were two explosions of dynamite which
wrecked the express cars. The roof was
blown off, but no one was injured by
the explosion. Reports as to the amount
of booty secured by the robbers vary.

bers did not get more than $500. In
other quarters it is said the plunder will
amount to several thousand dollars. It
u also said that several of the mail
pouches were rifled A railway mail
