MASKED BANDIT
RObS MAIL CAR
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 1.-The
mail car of the Atlantic Coast line
train which arrived in Montgomery at
G o'clock this evening, was robbed
about five miles east of the city. A
large amount of registered mail was
secured and the bandit escaped, drop
ping off the train as it entered the
outskirts of Montgomery. Eugene Hes
ter, the mail clerk, was shot through
the hand.
A stop was made at Wiley, six miles
from Montgomery and Hester believes
the robber entered the car at that
point. Shortly after leaving there Hes
ter was ordered to throw up his hands
and, turning, he saw that he was COW
cred by a pistol in the hands of a
masked white man.
Hester grabbed at the pistol and the
robber fired, the ball going through
the mail clerks hand. Hester then
gave in and the robber, keeping him
covered, helped himself to the regis
tered packages and when the train
slowed up jumped from the car.
1t cannot be told at this time the
amount secured but it is believed to
be large.

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BOSTON, Jan. THE heavy north
easterly storm which set in last night
embraced all New England.
The rain accompanied by rise of
about thirty degrees in temperature,
rapidly melted the snow and caused
much inconvenience. The gale, which
reached a velocity of eighty miles an
hour on the coast, caused rough seas
and high tides.
The schooner Lizzie Carr went ashore
at Concord Point, Rye Beach, N. H.,
and Frank Reen, first mate, was
knocked overheard and drowned. The
other members of the crew were res
cued.
The severity of the storm on Long
Island sound compelled the Fall River
line steamer Pilgrim, from New York
to Fall River, to put in at New Lon
don, where her passengers continued
their journey by rail.
At Winsted Conn, the river over
flowed so that the main street was ten
inches under water today. Reports of
washed out highways and similar dam
age comes from many places in the
state.

THEY WOULD WELCOME SACK
Colonel Mszuma Has Not Vet Arrived
but crafters Have Hopes

Special to The Herald
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.--"Well, you
know that I am a poor man"
This was the expressive reply given
by member Of the assembly to a can
didate for United States senator who
told the assemblyman that he was look
ing for the toga. It was a blunt an
nouncement on the part Of the assem-
blyman that he was in receptive
mood, and he followed up the assertion
with the further statement that he be-
lieved there was going to be something
doing" in the session. and he was not
going to declare himself until he got
all that was coming to him.
This raw statement on the part of an
assemblyman that would sell his
vote is not the expression of lone
some boodler. If statements of candi-
dates and members of the Legislature
can be relied upon there are many
others who have their hands out and
are here to do business on a personal
basis to get "all that is coming to
them"
The evidence of grafters of this sort
is cumulative, and there is no question
in the minds of many of the Legislators
that If it should happen that sack"
we're opened votes could be bought in
startling numbers. SO far there has
been no evidence of money being used
to influence votes.
If there is a sack here for the purpose
of aiding any candidate for the senate
IL has not yet been opened, and, while
there is full line of able bodied Doodle
managers ready to take charge of the
money, none has as yet secured an en-
gagement. The fact that these we'll
known manipulators of votes have no
following is sufficient evidence to the
inflated that they have no money to
handle.
Some of the members are having
a little quiet amusement by leading the
circulated. certain senator has had
an assemblyman following him around
for several days looking for the man
who is dispensing the money. The SEN
ator is to give the assemblyman the
wink when the right man is met, and
then the assemblyman is to make a
brace for the money. The senator
has put the other senators WISE and
the assemblyman is becoming a well
marked man for future reference.

1t is a well recognized fact that the
best advertising an article can have
is that which is known as word of
mouth" this rightfully carries more
weight than all the claims which can
be set forth. 1t follows that Mr. Kin
kaid, with his wide acquaintance, will
largely promote the sale and use Of
Pyramid Pile Cure because-and here
is the vital point-he knows whereof
he speaks, and not only advocates its
use but does so with enthusiasm; this
is not to be wondered at, and in point
of fact can anyone, after reading his
letter, doubt that this remedy cures?
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists for the low price of fifty cents
a package; II is in suppository form,
is applied directly to the parts af-
fected, and does its work quickly and
painlessly; there is no other remedy

H. P. Leffingwell has brought suit
