ILLITERATE IMMIGRANTS.
Total Will Reach One Million For
First Time

Port Townsend, WaSh.-AdVance
sheets of the forthcoming report of
the secretary Of the treasury have
been received. dealing principally
with the immigration transferred to
the new department of commerce and
labor, and some startling figures are
contained therein. The date, of
course, is only approximate, yet the
estimate is made that when all re-
ports have been received they will
show the enormous total Of 1000 900
Immigrants having arrived in the
country during the past fiscal year
Previous to this year the largest to-
tails ever tabulated by the immigra-
ton officials were for the year 1882.
when the total was 1892. The ag-
gregatiOn in the estimates also points
out the distressing fact that the ma
iOrity of those embraced in the mil
Hon mark were entirely. or at least
partially illiterate, a severe common
tary on the lack of discretion of the
late congress which cut out the pro-
posed educational tests in the then
pending measure governing the advent

UNION BANK ROBBERS

How the Guilty Men Were CIeverIy
Caught-Work Of ShreWd
Detectives.

Union, Mo, July 13-The term Of
the circuit court which opened here
today will likely be made notable by
the trial of the Union bank robbers.
George Collins and William Rudolph
the latter of whom created a great
sensation last week by his daring es-
cape from the St. Louis Jail where the
two were confined awaiting trial. Not
since the determination of the COffey-
VILE gang which fOurished several
years ago has this 5 elton of the coun-
try produced two more desperate
criminals than Rudolph and Collins,
neither of whom is more than twenty
one years old.
On December 9th last. the two
young men rode into Union, terrOriz-
ed every one in the town, entered the
bank and stole $4,000 in currency
and $4,000 in securities. They fled
to Rudolph's home. and when sur
rounded by deputy sheriffs escaped
after killing one of the posse.
In the Rudolp's home the officials

Attorney Generals Views.
If the rule cOntended for by Sena-
tor Graves were to be adopted. the
attorney general held, it would DO
away entirely with amendments or ap-
peals by implication, which have al
ways been upheld by the courts of
this and other states. The constitu-
tiOnal provision was designed, ac-
cOrding to his holding, to do away
with practice which had grown up
in the legislatures of the various
states, whereby impositions were Of
ten practiced upon legislators by the
indefinite reference to old laws in the
passage of new ones
The attorney general read from a
decision Of the Nevada courts which
denounced one of the Nebraska rul-
ings as purely theoretical, but NOT
applicable in effect as well as terms
He also cited decisions from Oregon
and Florida where the same cOnstitu-
tiOnal provision was held to go to the
form and not the substance.

kicked in the face by a horse, Tues

The new school directors of the
Waltsburg district, John Loundagin
and Frank McCown, were no sooner
installed in Ce than they began
cutting salaries of the old teachers,
who Immediately resigned. The new
directors thought too much money was
being paid teachers. Public sentiment
seems TO be on the side of the old
teachers, many going so far as to say
they would not send their children to
school If the old teachers were not re-
lnstated at their regular salaries.

STOPPED OFF.
William Dwyer of Helper Held
Up Last Night and Robbed
of Ninety-Three Dollars

William Dwyer, man about 60
years old and boiIermaker by trade.
who has been working at Helper.
Utah, for some time. arrived in this
city last evening on No. 6 He came
up the street during the evening to
look around at the growth of the city
and at the same time he met his old
friend. John Barleycorn. and not hav-
ing visited with his old friend for
some while. the hours from 6 80 until
IL passed rapidly by. and when Dwyer
started down Colorado avenue for the
depot he was 1eeling good until he
bumped up against a hold-up who
relieved him of neat little roll of
bills amounting to S93.
After the robber took the money
from Dwyer the latter went ON down
to the Pacific saloon where he related
the story of his loss. and when he was
told to inform the police stated.
1.-The money is gone; III defer my
trip to Nebraska. until another time. :"
When he left Helper he had SIPS.
Dwyer was on his way to his old
home Grand Island. Nebraska. Had
he reported his loss to the police he
might have recovered his money.
A fireman at the depot who knew
Dwyer stated that he believed that
he had been held up.
Hold-ups are becoming entirely too
frequent in Grand Jui ction. Nobody
seems to know that tt re are any bad
people in town. therefore these affairs
must be conducted by some one pretty
familiar with conditions. A thor
ough clean up. and investigation into
nails in this town, who have plenty
of money and no visible way of OBJ
tanning it should he made by the
officers. That men can be held up on
several of the principal streets of the
town. is bad reputation for Grand
Junction.
Some of the police officers are aware
that here are pretended bad men
around the city, some of them played
tricks on one of the officers a few
nights ago, who had been firing his
revolver on one of the principal streets
and it is time to call things down
with great thud. These men should
be searched and their revolvers taken
from them and avery suspicious char :
acter fired from the CITY. There is
no excuse for conditions to be as they
have been for the past week.
