ATTEMPTED
ROBBERY
Bruchman'S Place Entered 1 a.
III. Friday, But RObber
Scared Away.

Last night about / a. m. one
OF the most daring attempts at
robbery occurred at Bruchman S
Indian Curio store.
Mr.. Bruchman was slumber-
ing peacefully in his room,
which ad joins the store, and was
ava kened by the noise of some
one coming IN the back door
Of the store. He arose and tried
to corner him in the front of
the store, but the guy imme
diately lost his nerve and start
ed for a front window which he
succeeded in going through in a
quick and most graceful man
ner. It would be impossible for
Mr.. Bruchman to identify the
man as there was no light in the
room. Bruchman was unarmed
and made a big bluff at the in
truder which evidently carried.
He had to procure new win
dow glass, but he is proba bly, a
few dollars ahead Of the deal
by running the fellow through
the window. He is now pre-
pared to meet any emergency.
Miss Hollister, organizer of
the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, visited
Winslow during the last week,
and addressed a congregation
in the M. E. Church last Sun
day, both morning and evening.
Miss Hollister is a convincing
speaker and is deeply interest
ed in the society she represents.
On Monday last she gave an
address to women only, and
from reports she made a deep
impression on the mothers pre-
sent. She organized a union
with sixteen members. The
following persons were elected
to office; president, Mrs. G. L:
Hathaway; first vicepresident,
Mrs. Morrison; second vice pres

treasurer, Mrs. Funk. The So

WIGWAM
WAS HELD UP
$3.50 Taken From a Gambling
Table By Two Masked
Men.

About'1 80 O'Clock this NOR
ming two masked men entered
the Wigwam saloon and threw
down upon several men sitting
in the saloon. They then start
ed to rake the money from a
gambling ia able into a little tin
bucket. After they had got
about $3.50 they proceeded to
make their departure, which
they did. Just as they opened
the door one of the men in the
saloon fired a shot at them, and
after they reached the street
two shots more we're fired, but
as it was SO dark, they did not
hit either of the men.
This is about the boldest rob-
berry that has occurred in this
CITY in a long while. 1t will
probably be hard job to appre-
bend the men, but we believe
that they will be caught and
brought to time before long, as
our officers have some good
clues.

In It's history.
II Is charged by the grand Jury. as
result Of It's Investigations that tho
police are Indifferent toward or active-

of the department associate with crim-

timony when needed by the use OF

that the standard Of the detective de-

The mother of the modern

the great feast of the Tabernacles

thousand years ago, when Jerusa ..

Prosperity leads to luxury and
easel 1t destroys manhood! One
note in the Presidents proclama
ton is that of warning, not of
foreign foe, but the enemy within
our own borders. Great prosper.
ity leads to corruption! What
awful odors have come from some
of our large cities in this aud other
States. Congress will talk on
money and tariff, but for mat
ters of deeper importance, such as
the development of manhood, the
protection Of childhood, they have
no time or interest. While men
slept the enemy sowed tares. "
There are three heresies in the
world The heresy Herod of who
lived for pleasure and glory; the
heresy of Judas, who sold his
Lord for gold; the heresy of Cain,
who slew his brother for hate.
We must avoid the heresy of
wOrldiness, avarice and hatred.
The mistakes and blunde.- of
men God overrules for good.
There is a Divinity that shapes
our ends rough hew them MS we

country by Columbus in 1892 was
a blunder on the map of the un.
known seas. Had it been other
wise, should we enjoy the relig.

to the glens and caves of England.
A few men and women are gath
cred to hear Gods word and pray,
but no sound is heard above a
whisper. Why? Because officers
of the church and state are ready
to arrest these men and women,
who are worshiping God according
to the dictates Of their own con
science, but contrary TO the mind
of the church. Let us enter this
home. The father has gathered
his family together around the
dear old book; after reading they
bow in prayer. While engaged
in that sacred duty the door is
opened and in comes Lord Clave-
house; the whole family are taken
prisoners; for whatl Because they

from thirty three counties by less
than 300 votes in each instance.
This is a brief summing up Of
the party disaster of 1904. II
there was nothing to recruit from,
Democracy lntvre would bc any
thing bat inviting in Missouri
But the figures tell the story too
plainly that tie Republicans can
only win IN his State when 40, ,O0O
Democrats do.not 90 to the polls
and vote
REpuHuCANS ~ MINORITY.
When anything like n full vote
OF the State is pollcd the Repub-
llcans have always been far in the
minority. It was n stay.at. home
vote in 1891 Of some 10000 Dem.
ocrats that enabled the Republi.
cans to carry the State, Exactly
the same thing happened ten years
later,
Ia 1902 the Republicans were
some ii,0ON votes behind. The
Lieutenant Governor on the Re-
poblinau State ticket last year did
not poll 1000 more votes than
were east Tor President Mckinley
in 1900 This clinches the con
clusIon that the Republicans did
not carry the State because of de-
sertons from the Democratic to
the Republican ranks.
The figures, however seem TO
warrant the conclusion that Mr..
Roosevelt received 10000 or T. 600

was ordered by Governor Bradford
of Massachusetts, in 1921. when the
pilgrim fathers gathered their first
harvest.
The first national Thanksgiving
day was by proclamation of Presi.
dent Washington, set for Novem.
ber Goth, 1883. The day was re-
vived by President Lincoln by
proclamation to be held August
9th, 1863, to be day of thanks
giving for the victory at Gettys-
burg. Later the day was fixed
for the last Thursday IN November
each year, hence we are here this
morning in response to the proc.
lamation of President Roosevelt
and Governor Folk. Those of us
who have read the proclamation
will have heard the leading note of
that document-prosperity. We
hear the blowing of whistles, the
humming of wheels and the ring
ing coin. We are thankful for
prosperity, but we need for our
nation more than financial pros
perity! Men are prone to thank
God for those prosperilies of vine
and meadow, and shop and ship,
which make life easy and com
Portable, but they are rarely CRATE =
ful for those divine happenings
which make life difficult and great.
The best moments in man 5
life are often the hardest and most
periIous. Happy are they to whom
life brings, not ease aud physical
comfort, but great chances of
heroism, sacrifice and service.
The great ages have not been
comfortable ages, they have de.
manded too much and given too
much.
In easy, comfortable, money.
making times, men grew cnllDus
to suffering, dull of insight, slug
gish of soul. In stirring, grow.
ing, stimulating times, they draw
in great breaths of mountain air,
they are afcld with the sun, con
sumed with eagerness to lavish
the gift of life in one great out
pouring of energy. One might be
grateful for brakes chance to die,
sword in hand, facing his foes
half n world from home; or for
Sidney's opportunity to pass on
the cup of water to one whose
thirst had less to assuage it; yet
again for the home coming of Lly
ingtone, borne in sorrow and
silence out of the heart of the dark
continent of Africa on the should.
ers of men who could not under
stand his greatness, but who rev.
erenced his spirit.
