som.,hinr l,oiar.

There was something dong in Elko
aud vicinity Wednesday night. SHORTLY
after midnight Constable Wore and
Deputy rriplett were notified that a
robbery had been committed at the
Hot Springs and their presence was
needed. They immediately started for
the Syringe and hoofed it all the way.
When they arrived, they we're informed
that Frank Hall, a mining man, had
been robbed Of sl20. a gold wafch and
chain and a Masonic charm while he
he was taking u plunge bath before
retiring for the night. From what We
have learned 1t appears that Hall un-
dressed in one OF the roons Ut the
plunge bath and rollel his pantaloons,
containing his 'yaluables. into a small
roll and tucked them behind a sofa in
the before going into the water.
When he went into the plunge he found
the cook at the hotel in the bath. The
cook left the bath before Hall did and
when Hall went to his room he could
not lind his pants or valuables. He
searched the room thoroughly, but wao
finally compelled to 90 to the hotel in
his underclothes. He gave the alarm
and parties Mt the Springs again search
ed the room, but we're unable to lind the
missing articles.
When the officers arrived, suspicion
was directed against the cook and be
was searched. but none Of the missing
property WIS found. They then search
cd the cooks room with the same result.
Then the room in which Hall had un.
dressed was searched and Mr.. Triplett
found the missing pants and other
articles bohind a box in the corner of
the room. Nothing was missing and
Hall was given bis property lie re.
fused to make a compliant against the
cook and the officers we're compelled To
let him go.
The Sc -vices Of the officers were
greatly appreciated, so much 30, that
they booted it n mile and a half back TO
town. They vent direct to the Gem
saloon and were met with n story G; a
man, having been beaten and robbed
nenr the freight depot while they were
away. While listening to this story,
the man came in and told his troubles.
The officers started out to find his
sssailant and while looking for him
MIR. Triplett ran into SINE loose hams
lying on the platform OF the freight
depot. He made IN examination and
found that u ear loaded with Swift's
meat products had beer broken into
and that " cases OF hams had been
opened. Each case contained seven
hams, weighing lob pounds. Four OF
these were found on the platform, two
we're in "a case in the car and eight were
missing. That the theft was moi
committed by hobos is evidenced by the
fact that several cases OF bolognas and
other cooked meats we're passed over to
get the hams.
The search for the man who commit.
ed the robbery was kept up 10y the
officers dur ng the righ, and this 'ore

St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The court
| at Peterhof apparently is divided as
to how to meet the campaign of the
| terrorists. Premier Stolypin end his
| cabinet, however, have taken a stand
against repression upon a scale which
| would drive the whole population into
| revolt. The premier's views are re-
flected by the Rossia, which declares
the government must not be fright
ened into abandoning the reform pro-
gramme. 1t is only necessary, the pa
per asserts, to draw the line between
loyal opposition and those who by
! word and act seek the destruction of
the government.
The Novoe Vremya proposes, "as an
exit from the horrors of the worst
kind of civil war;" to confer upon the
| cabinet authority to prepare a con-
stitution which will realize the hopes
of the sane Liberals"
The Svet continues to advocate

archy and anarchists.
Against these comparatively moder-
ate propositions the reactionary party
at court is urging dictatorship and

WILL TRY THE LASH
IN ROCK ISLAND
Republican County Machine to At
tempt to Whip the People into
Line-Cummins Coming

The republican county committee
evidently has determined to apply the
lash and undertake to whip party mem
bers into line for the congressional and
county ticket. for the announcement
was made today that Governor A. B.
Cummins of Iowa has been secured to
give an address at the Illinois theater
next Tuesday evening. In addition to
this Congressman James Mckinney
will make an appearance, and some of
the local spell binders will be given a
chance to try to convince the republi-
cans in the county that party duty is
paramount to the peoples welfare.
The fact that such a man as Cover
nor Cummins is to be called to the as
sistance of the county ticket, indicates
that the republicans are beginning to
place better estimate on the strength
of the democratic ticket.

Illustrated publication ever issued
in the three cities-and it has not been

1t is a matter of some pride to The

A Reform in Spelling.

We have been hearing a good deal
lately in reference TO reform in spell
ing, and some of our highest citizens
favor same. Men in educational cir
cles, however. state that its popularity
will be short-liyed. Whether you spell
the word cure" with a &c" or ..'k'' does
not affect its meaning when used in con-
nection with the celebrated family med
icine, Hostetter's Stomach Bltters. For
SO years it has been. the most popular
remedy for curing. such ailments as
poor appetite, belching, bloating. heart
burn, Insomnia, dyspepsia, indigestion,
costveness, biliousness, chills, colds,
female ills. general debility or, malaria
Every home throughout this laznd should
adopt it as their family medicine be-
cause it is absolutely safe and reliable.
Don't experiment with unknown RENE
dies any longer when you can just as
easily get Hostetter,s from any drug
gist.
