BANDITS MURDER CASHIER.
Brave Man Guarded Funds of Bank
at Cost of His Life.

A bold daylight raid by bandits
from the mountain regions Was made
upon the First National bank at Cody,
Wyo., Tuesday afternoon, Cashier F.
o. Middaugh being instantly killed.
The outlaws fed without securing
money and under rain of bullets
from the aroused citizens who were
attracted to the scene bv the shoot
ing of Middaugh and the exchange of
shots between the robbers and the
bank officers.
Two cowboys who had been seen
about Cody for several minutes with
out masks or DISCUSSES of any char
acter, rode up to the bark, and, with
six-shooters in each hand, ordered
everyone within to throw up their
hands. Instead OF complying with the
demands of the outlaws, the bank Of
ficials grabbed weapons from beneath
the counters and opened a fusilade
upon the intruders, who beat hasty
Cashier Middaugh, who emptied his
gun at them at short range.
When Middaugh had ceased firing
the smaller of the two robbers
wheeled, and, taking deliberate aim
at the bank official, sent a bullet
through Middaugh's breast, who fell
dead in his tracks.
Citizens aroused by the firing seized
every weapon in reach and guns were
training upon the flying robbers from
every point The outlaws swept the
streets with their sixshooters. digging
their spurs frantically into the sides of
their horses.
A posse is in pursuit. and 1t is
thought the men will be captured. If
taken alive they will undoubtedly be
lynched

THE LIFE OF A BOOK.

interviewed by the Book Monthly,
Mr.. A. NJ S. Methuen admits that
"an enormous amount of rubbish is
published, but holds that because it
has no likelihood of living it does
little harm. There are few people. he
tells us, who realize how short the
life of an average book is and how
far shorter it is getting. Fifteen
years ago you could count on its ex-
istence for two or three years. Now
three books out of four are almost
dead as mutton in three months. You
may sell few copies afterward, but
the sale that remunerates the author
and publisher is over before you
know where you are" Taken alto
gether, Mr. Methuen considers pub
fishing 1.-The most difficult business in
the world" adding that with compe-
tition it is getting more. difficult.
The publisher need rot look for
wealth; but among his compensations
is the interest of his calling-"the lit
erary interest, which is grateful and
agreeable under all circumstances"

sEvIvING AN ANCIENT GOSPEL

Rev. Charles Wagner. the author of
a boo,s entitled "The Simple Life" is
now visiting this Gentry for the pur-
pose of giving our PEOPLE further light
on his theories In the lectures which
he proposes to deliver. The new Cos
pel-that of the simple life-is in
truth very old. The Roman satirists
pleaded for the simple life and dashed
the luxury of the day. AS far back as
we can go in history we find the same
doctrine eloquently preached. And 1t
could hardly have been otherwise. For
the very moment that man became
conscious that he possessed soul,
or spiritual nature, he realized that
his true life was not dependent on the
multitude of his possessIons-rather
that 1t was cramped and fettered BY

AsToR AN UNHAPPY MAN.

William w. Astor, has returned to
this country-for visit. He has come
over to take a look at that part OF
New York which he owns. That is no
small part of the metropolis. He Is
said to hold the fee of fifty square
blocks of New York property, and
more rent is said to be paid to him
than any other individual real estate
owner in the city. Yet Mr.. Aston does
not seem to be happy man. He left
this country because he could not be
happy here New York insisted that
he should pay more taxes than he
thought he ought to, and the news
papers here did not treat him with
that respect which he considered due
to his station and his money. So he
went to England and renounced his
allegiance to the constitution OF the
United States and became subject
there. But even there he has not been
strictly happy, If all reports are true.
OF course, he could chum it with lot
of high and mighty persons, but he
has been greatly disappointed because
he has not Deen made peer of the
realm. He Is still plain Mr., not even
a Sir, much less a lord.-Buffalo Ex-

WAR IN WINTER TIME.

Many great battles have been fought
IN the snow, Eylau and Hohenlinden

and the Russian losses were increased
by Napoleon turing the fire of his
artillery on the frozen lakes over
which the Russians sought to retreat
IN our civil war Fort Donelson was
captured in February, Fredericksburg
was fought in December. Stone River,

defeated and ruined Hoods army at
Nashville on the 18th and 10th of De-

ment that he has emphatically reiter-
Rted his unequivocal demand for the
Just and proper punishment of those

LACK OF FAMILY LIFE.

Men who separate themselves from
their families pay very high price
for success. Some of the very great
est failures in life in America in re-
cent years have been failures of men
swhose lives and careers are blazoned
abroad as those of great, successful
men. Their sons are noted for Their
worthlessness, degenerate sons of
worthy sires. These young men are
untitled to make a living for them
selves, and they are untitled to spend
the money which their fathers piled
I'D with infinite pains and labors. In
these cases it is extremely doubtful
II the worthless sons are to be blam-
ed; the fathers, the great, successful
men, are primarily at fault because,
though they made morey and name,
they did rot give any time or pains
or thought at all to the most import
ant work in the world, which is the
rearing of honorable and useful men.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

Farmers throughout the corntry, es-
pecially those living near r.vers and
streams, will be delighted with the in
formation that, in their nearness to
such streams there is now found the
opportunity of making farm life more
pleasant and comfortable. In fact, all
the comforts and conveniences that
are at the hand of the dweller in the
city are now at the hand of the far
mer. Recent reports from the De-
partment Of Agriculture call attention
to the fact that every small stream
Is natural dynamo for the generation
of the subtle fluid. BY means of small
mill dams thrown across the stream
and the erection of little electrical
plants, that are very low in cost, it
Is now possible for the farmer to have
his barns, stables and houses lighted
as brilliantly at night as the white
light district" in any city. More Ian
this, the current can easily be applied
to certain classes of vegetables that
need to be rushed for marketing, thus
increasing the income of the farmer.
Inc great wave OF invention WIFI
which our country is blessed helps
with its benefcent tides all classes of
people, none of whom are more de-
serving of blessing than the one from
whom all our support comes. A new
era is dawning for the farmer, a
brighter day is coming, the eventual
ton Of which whill be a stronger and

Of good literature, good light with

NOBODY LIKELY TO BE SCARED

DR.. George F. Shrady can not fright
en- us by saying that in time the little
toe will be eliminated in consequence
of modern tight, if not ill-fitting shoes.
The sooner the little toe ''goes to mar
ket" the better. 1t is very much i'll
the way on some feet that should be
smaller. Like the appendix vermi-
form, modern man has no use for it.
If we were obliged to go barefooted.
we might hold an opposite opinion,
but even savages are wearing shoes
and savagesses high heels on them.
So what's the use of worrying if the
toes cease to grow and eventually the
human foot, like the prehistoric horses
changes into a hoof. No doubt men
and women, some million years hence
will deem that sort of extremity per
fectly fine. Boston Herald.

MORE TROUBLE IN THE EAST.

II China ever does win her indie
pendence she will be quite able to
take care of Manchuria herself and
to maintain her supremacy over Thib-
ct or any other territory which she is
supposed to control. In the meantime
we are likely to see much friction be-
tween Russia and Great Britain over
this Thibet business, with the
chances just now favoring the Brit
fish. The Manchurian problem may
be found serious before the world
gets through with It. In short, there
is at the present time. as there has
been for many years, great deal

ers have done and are doing is bring

HABIT OF EATING TOO MUCH.

A large and steadily increasing num-
Der of men and women have reached
or are reaching the conclusion that it
is vastly more difficult to avoid eating
a great deal too much than to get
enough to eat. The late Abram S. He
witt once ventured some remarks on
this subject in discussion OF the
Giving wage" showing that one who
needed or desired to could live for
very much less than it cost the aver
age wage Garner to feed himself. For
this he was much ridiculed by some
and roundly abused by others. He
was perfectly right, but unwelcome
