Manager D. s. Elliott, Of the Great

following statement regarding the
hold-up of the overland passenger
train near Seattle: "Our train leaving
Seattle for st. Paul was held up by

Seattle, on the shore Of Puget sound
Two men evidently got on the front
of the mail car at q railroad crossing
stop and very soon after went into the
cab of the engine, held up the engineer
and fireman, requiring the engineer to
stop the train at given point, where
they were met by probably three 9TH
ers, who Joined the party and forced
the engineer and fireman at the points
of revolvers to require the express
messenger to open the car door. The
messenger was then forced to leave
his car. Some Of the robbers got into
the car and wrecked the safe by the
use of dynamite, using three charges,
so we are informed. Such; Of the con-
tents of the safe as were not damaged
by the explosion were taken by the
robbers, who, it is supposed, had a

WOULD REVISE TARIFF.
Republicans of Massachusetts, Adopt
Mild Plank-State Ticket
Named.

Boston, Oct. with only one voice
raised in opposition, the republicans
of Massachusetts in state convention
Friday declared for a revision of the
tariff. Contrary to expectations, the
radical wing Of the party, under the
leadership of Eugene N. Foss, of Bos-
ton, did not offer substitute for the
plank in the platform relating TO the
tariff, which calls for the enactment
by congress of tariff provision which
shall protect American markets
against discrimination, and secure to
the United States treatment accorded
to the most favored nation in all the
foreign markets.
The declaration is thought to be the
first definite procurement of the
kind that has been made by repub-
lican state convention since the Ding
ley bill was adopted by congress. A
campaign in the interest of tariff re-
vision was carried on in Iowa few
years ago and the revisionists made q
positive declaration in favor of tariff
changes was incorporated in the plat
form.
The following ticket was nominated:,
For governor, Curtis Guild, Jr., Bos-
ton; lieutenant governor, Eben S. ORA
per, Hopedale; secretary of state. Will
liam M. Olin, Boston; treasurer and re-
ceiver general. Arthur B. Chaplin, Hol-
yoke; auditor, Henry E. Turner. NAL

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Wisconsin Posse Stays One Bandit
Wounds Two Others and Cap
lures q Fourth.

Wildrose, Wis, Oct 9.-One bandit
was killed, two probably fatally wound.
ed and one captured in a desperate
fight with a posse of so armed citizens,
aroused to fury by the robbing of the
post Office and the attempted footing
of the Wildrose state bank.
The bandits were caught in a forest,
eight miles from the village and fought
desperately with rifles for an hour and
half. The fourth man fought long
after his companions had been shot
down and only surrendered when he
saw that further combat meant death
to himself.
The combat came at the end of an
exciting day and after an encounter in
dense marsh, to which the band had
escaped after looting the post Office
Of $500 in cash and 500 in stamps and
postal cards.

LANDSLIDE IN QUARRY.
Ten Men Killed by Cave-1n at Gran
Vile, N. Y.-Five Bodies
Recovered. 2S$

Granville, N. Y, Oct. Ten men
met instant death at the quarry of the
Vermont Slate company here Friday,
when about 100 feet Of the west bank
crashed down without warning, bury
ing the victims under hundreds of tons
of slate and loose earth. Five bodies
were recovered, but it is doubtful
whether the others can be reached be-
fore next week. The dead, with the
exception Of John G. Williams, presi-
dent and treasurer of the company, are
all Hungarians. The slide occurred at
$3.50 o'clock in the morning, while the
gang was at work in the quarry, d.
rected by Mr.. Williams, and the men
were caught like rats in a trap. Mr..
Williams was standing near the edge
of the bank, while the others were be-
low in the pit. He had just raised
his arm to signal the engineer in
charge of the hosting engine when
the bank gave way, carrying him into
the pit, rs feet below.

Japan won by forcing the fight. It
struck the first blow, and followed 1t
up so quickly and so savagely that
Russia was defeated on Land and sea
before it knew it. It was short
war, all things considered, beginning
IN February a year ago, and yet in
casualties it left over six hundred
thousand victims on the field OF bat
tie, and cost both contestants together
more than one billion dollars. Beyond
question, this frightful loss Of life and
property fastened the conclusion OF
peace; for behind President Roosevelt
stood the powerful influence Of all the
great bankers of the world.

Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, says that probably hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
buttermilk is thrown away in this
country every year. He has learned
recently from medical experts that
buttermilk is very valuable in the
treatment of diseases of the kidneys,
such as Bright's disease and diabetes,
and he says if some one would invent
plan by which it could be condensed
and preserved for medicinal purposes
the inventor would render humanity
an invaluable service.
