Ought To Be Proud.

Yesterday at time OF going to
press the st. Louis Republic
Claimed that Neff Rep had
carried the Kansas city election
by 355. If that be true the
boilers supporting Shelley
ought to be proud of their days
work.
On the other hand, the St.
Louis World claims that Boiler
Shelley only had 2400 adherents
and that Kemrer the regular
Democrat has carried the city
by a small ma ority.

ranging from 600 to 900.

THINK THEY HAVE HIM.
Supposed Murderer of Cashier Mid
daugh Is Captured.

Omaha. Neb., Nov. ia special
from Cheyenne says the robbers who
held up and killed Cashier Middaugh
of the Cody National bank, and made
their escape with a considerable sum
of money, have been captured in north
ern Wyoming.
Cody, Wyo., Nov. 17.-According to
news received by telephone from
Thermopolis, only one man has been
captured. This was the larger of the
two men who robbed the Thermopolis
saloon. The captured man appears to
fill the description of the one who shot
Middaugh in an attempted bank rob
berry in Cody. The capture was made
about three-quarters of a mile above
the mouth of Owl creek in the Big
Horn valley, few miles from Their
mopolis.
The three rode cautiously upon the
ruffian and succeeded in getting drop
on him before he was aware of their
presence and upon being questioned as
to the identity and whereabouts of his
partner he refused to utter single
word. In fact, he has remained silent
ever since his capture. Upon his per-
son were found revolver and some
money that are known to be the same
as that taken from Edwards saloon.
Parties from Cody will go to Their
mopolis for the purpose of identifying
the captured man as the larger of the
two who attempted to hold up the bank
here. 1t will be remembered it was
the larger of the two men who fired
the fatal shot that killed Middaugh.

ArCHIsoN's COAL MINE.
Is Now Turning Out so Tons of First
Glass Fuel Daily.

Atchison, Kan, Nov. lit is be-
ginning to look like business at the
coal shaft. The force is now turning
out fifty tons of coal a day above the
need of the shaft, which are being sold
as rapidly as it comeSsfr from the shaft.
Thirty more miners are to be hired at
once, and twenty of them were ex-
pected to arrive from Leavenworth
last evening. The contract for the big
top house from which coal will be
loaded on the cars, has been let. The
contract for the shaft office will be let
in a short time. Work is progressing
on the two eighty ton track scales.
The wagon scales will be finished and
ready for weighing coal by the wagon
load in a week. The plans for the
shaft office are now ready. The top
house will be modelled after the latest
of the kind and it will be equipped
with all the best devices for quick
and economical loading of cars. 1t
will take 5000 feet of lumber to
build to top house. 1t is hoped to
have the mine in complete operation
by the first of January. The men en-
ployed at the shaft will then number
fully a hundred, and more will be
added as required. Already the empty
houses convenient to the coal mine in
South Atchison have been exhausted.
A miner who came up from -Leaven-
worth yesterday, says it was impossi-
bic for him to find house to move his
family into.

of the new and greater west for irriga-
ton and every, other interest which
you represent, the period of exclusive
ness is past.
The stock interests are no longer in
dependent of the mining interests, nor

gator. A closer Interviewing than
ever before is at hand, among all the
One cannot prosper without the other.
So the future growth and greatness of
the other western interests will de-
pend, in the first degree, upon the de-
velopment of irrigation, and the de-
velopment of irrigation will depend
upon the protection and wise use of
the existing forests and the creation of
new ones, and the proper. control of

NOT FOR RUSSIA.
She Can't Participate in a Peace Com
ference at Present.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 17.-The Rus
sian formal reply says a circular note,
regarding the converting of The
Hague conference is not expected until
next week. In the meantime the
views of other powers are being ascer-
tanned through the Russian representa-
tives abroad. While there is no reason
to believe that Russia can agree to
participate in a conference during the
war there is every indication that
Russia will not only resent the pro-
posaI but that her reply Will be of a
cordial character.
In the course. of a. conversation on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff and Charge d'Affaires Eddy
of the American embassy, the former
spoke feehngly of Russia's great inter-
est in the work and aims of the peace
conference initiated by Emperor Mich
olas and the important fact developed
that it had been Russia's intention,
had the war not interviewed herself to
invite the powers to a second confer
ence. While the war was IN progress,
however, Count Lamsdorff explained,
it was a patent difficulty to fruitful
free discussion and to a decision in
question which might affect the ac-
tivity of the present belligerents.

a soldier stood on guard one night
With his head bent low in tears,
His vision was of those he loved,
Whom he had not seen for years.
Tirginia's oaks doomed high above
Ger the silent path he trod,
And ere the morrowS battle roar
Thus he prayed in song to God.
o. cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing,
A hymn of dear departed days,
Which at home he used to sing.
The moon smiled forth from heecy clouds
AS she heard these low notes ring;
o. cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
Deep hidden in the tangled wood
Stood a soldier clad in gray,
His gun was lifted to his arm
When he heard the blue coat" pray.
He listened till he caught the words,
Then his heart beat quick and fast,
He too had sung this same old hymn
In the halcyon days now past.
The clouds swept by and stars shone out
AS the gray coat, dropped his gun,
And both men stood in silence there
Till the rising of the sun.
The angels must have Joined the song
As God covered with his wing
The man who stood on guard that night
And the one who heard him sing.
