|HOLDUP ON THE
GREAT NORTHERN

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 3.-The Fs.Great
Northern overland train, leavingeSeat-
tie at $3.50 Monday night. was held up
and the baggage and cypress car dyna-
mited five miles from Ballard at 8:45.
1t was II O'Clock before the train
pulled into Edmonds, and only the
most meager report was sent Ito the
Seattle office.
Three men are known tosshave done
the work. Two boys, who got or the
blind baggage here, as soon ass the hold
up began. entered the passenger coaches
and began holding up the passengers.
They were captured. They say two
of the men were on the blind baggage
when they got on and the third got on
IA Ballard.
All were dressed in rain coats and
SLOUGH hats.
So far as reported nc one has been
killed, but it is reported Charles An.
derson, express messenger, isssinjured.
Manager I. Warning Of the Great
Northern Express company says he
does not know how much money the
messenger carried, but believes the
amount was small.
After securing the contents of the
safe the three men started off in an
easterly direction. 1t is believed other
members of the gang are ahead of the
scene of the holdup and the robbers
joined them.
The train was tagged near the brick
yard, and as the engineer slowed up
two Of the men, wearing r~aincoats,
climbed over the tender and presented
revolvers to his head.
Then the engineer and fireman were
marched to the baggage cal door.
The messenger was commanded tC
open the door, And, refusing, an extrs
heavy charge Of dynamite was placed
against it and exploded. The explosion
tore the a almost to pieces. TIL.
safe was then ~dynamited. The trair
was held, two and half hours and ther
pulled into Edmonds, where a report
was sent before continuing to Everett,
The two boys were taken along.
Conductor Grants report of the hole
up shows that at least seven men were
engaged in the robbery. While the
robbers we're engaged on the safe, the
two boys who had been riding on the
blind baggage Slipped off and wen
through the train, attempting to hold
up the passengers. They had no guns
but took advantage of the timidity Of
the passengers, while the shooting wa
going On outside. Conductor Gran
found the boys before they had secured
much money and captured them. One
was recognized al Babe" Little, a no
torious Seattle sneak thief.
Between Ballard and Everett there il
no night Office and for nearly thre,
hours after the rumor of the robber,
Great Northern officials had lost tn,
train and knew nothing of its where
abouts, or the circumstances of tn
robbery.
:. The boys claim they met tn,
holdups until they got on the train an,
are in on way connected with thei
work. The idea to holdup the passen
gers occurred OF them after the explos
, ion. A special train, with a sheriff
posse. has started for the scene.

DEPoslroRs ARE TO SHARE.
In Profits Of Mutual Bank In the City
Of Chicago.

Of Chicago.
Chicago.-An original idea in a
banking. profit sharing plan, was put
in force when the Mutual bank opened
recently. Depositors and stockholders
are to share alike in the profits. I'm
der the PLAN. which Is cooperative,
the bank is to pay 8 per cent on saw
ings deposits and 8 per cent to stock.
holders, and then the profits are to be
divided equally between .depositors
and stockholders. The officers and di.
rectors take the position that de-
positors are the backbone of the bank,
and the policy Of profit sharing will
promote closer business relations be.
tween the bank and it's patrons, with
mutual benefit.
The organization Of the new bank
has been accomplished with a view to
inspiring public confidence through
the prominence Of it's officers and di.
rectors. Each Of the stockholders, di'
r~ectors and officers is identified with
large business concerns, and has an
assured standing. Inc Mutual starts
with a capital Of $25O,OO and a sur
plus of 100000.

Is of the reasons why insanity has
increased to such an alarming extent
in Egypt AS far as n a see. the
only effect the campaign against
"hashish" has had, Is to increase its

a fascination for them, that they will

O Is GOOD

To This Country I'm Spite Of the Thinss
that Go Wrong.
In spite Of the things that 60 wrong.
God is mighty good to this country.
Never before In the history Of this
land has nature opened her cornucopia
more generously and poured out great
er plenty.
The west has q record-breakins
wheat crop, and Il takes less Of It to
make a barrel Of -four than In previ-
Gus years.
The South has q good cotton crop,
and the growers are talking ten-cent
cotton and prosperity.
The corr crop Of the country prom
ises to be soo.O00.0OO bushels larger
than ever before. The whole indi-
Gated corn crop. at present prices,
means something like 81, 64O,000,000 to
the farmers.
There are indicated bumper crops of
oats, rye, rice, fax, barley, tobacco
and potatoes-worth hundreds Of mil
lions.
The farmer Is not alone in being
blessed.
Throughout the land, from the lakes
to the gulf and from sea to sea, the
factories are humming with busy life.
There ar no strikes Of consequence
and no prospect Of any.
The steel industry is many monuns
behind its orders.
Every shipbuilding plant and car
shop is worked to its fullest capacity.
In the great arteries of commerce
the ships and freight trains are carry
ing all they can.
The barometers Of business, the re-
tail stores, are registering their finest
records.
The bank reports show a steady In
crease in savings.
Every city of enterprise has its home
building boom.
Perhaps never before, anywhere In
the world, did an entire people live bet.
ter than do the people Of this country
to-day. There is money to spare in
pleasures. New York alone spent $780,
100000 on its summer vacations. Be
fore the season ends 100000 Ameri-
cans will have sailed for Europe. In
Philadelphia $1,000 people in a single
week attended six ball games.

 On a motion to adjourn an extra ordinary scene occurred. Lloyd George. an advanced liberal, said he had in tended to question the premier on the fate that had befallen the member of the administration at Brighton. He complained that on receiving notice that the question would be raised the premier had deliberately left the house. The premier's discourtesy to the house. he said, was becoming absolutely of fensive. Several members spoke. sup porting Lloyd George and declaring that the government ought to resign. Winston Churchill said it looked like the beginning of the end, and that it was retribution for the government s shams and shuffles and for the man. ner in which the premier had treated the parliament.
