Butte, Mont, Jan. 10. The Center
vile branch Of the D.J. Hennessy Mer-
camille company was held up by two
masked robbers and more than $4,000
secured. Manager Thomas Mullane
was marched into the store at the point
of two Colts revolvers and compelled
to open the safe. He purposely FUN
bled on the combination several times,
playing for time, when he was told that
another move of the kind would mean
his death.
Mullane then opened the safe and the
robbers filled their pockets with the
silver and bills intended for payment
of the checks of the miners. Watch
man Tom McGreever, who appeared ON
the scene, was also made to throw his
hands skyward and take stand beside
Mullane.
AS the robbers were disappearing in
the shadows of the mine dumps Nc.
Geever took several shots at the hold
ups, but apparently without effect.

WOULD KILL HOPELESS INSANE.
Or. Norton Joins Forces Of Miss Hall
and Mrs. Booth.

DIR. Charles Elliott Norton of Cam
bridge has joined forces with Miss Mary
Ann Hall of Cincinnati and with Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth in their cam
paign for the killing off of hopelessly
insane, hopelessly diseaged and victims
of accidents His views are expressed
in letter to Miss Halland made pubic
here today. DIR. Norton was formerly
professor of literature at Harvard. He
was friend of Longfellow and Low
ell, and with them made the famous
translation of the Divine Comedy. F"
He heads his letter, "An appeal to
reason, as we'll as compassion, " adj
dresses Miss Hall and writes:
''The principle that it is duty to
prolong every human life as long as
possible, at whatever cost, has hitherto
been generality accepted.
Its main support has been the doc
trine of the sacredness of human life.
"The doctrine and the parctice have
both been pressed too far. There is no
ground to hold every human life as in
violably sacred and to be preserved, no
matter with what results to the indivd-
ual, or to others. On the contrary,
there are caoes to which every reason
able consideration urges that the end
should be put. Settling aside all
doubtful cases, no right thinking man
should hesitate to give dose of lauda-
mum, sufficient to end suffering and
life together, to the victim of an acci-
dent from the torturing effects Of
which recovery was impossible, how
ever many hours of misery might be
added to conscious life by stimulatns
or surgical Operations.
Nor should a reasonable man hest
tate to hasten death in the case of
mortal disease, such, for example, as
cancer when it has reached the stage
of incessant severe pain, and when the
patient desires to die.
THE prolongation of life in such
case by whatever means, is merely
criminal cruelty.
"Or take another instance, that of
an old person whose mind has become
a chaos of wild imaginings, productive
of constant distress, not only to the
sufferer, but to all who live with and
attend him. The plain duty in such
case is not to prolong, but to shorten
life.
''lt is mott to be hoped that super.
stition so deeply rooted in tradition as
that of the duty of prolonging life at
any cost will readily yield to the argu.
ments of reason or the pleadings of
but the discussion of the
subject in its various aspects NAV
lead gradually to more enlightened
public opinion and to the consequent
relief of such misery"

FAT YEAR FOR THE FARMERS
What Evergreen State Produced in It's
Grain Fields

Last year was a fat one for the
wheat farmers Of Washington. The
second largest crop of wheat in the
history of the state was raised in 1905
and had the production been only
about 100000 bushels more, the crop
would have been twice as large as that
of two years ago, states a Washington.
ID. c., report. AS it was, the 1905 har
vest was only little smaller than the
bumper crop of 1901 when virgin
fields produced a phenomenally large
acreage yield, and when the grand to-
tai Of 34,518,968 bushels were reaped.
This years crop amounts to 32,516,S10
bushels, as against 32140,603 bushels
in the great year of 1904. These fig
ures are from the latest estimates of
the department of agriculture.
Other crops in the state this year
were very large, and are only less
notable than the wheat harvest be-
cause they constitute smaller total
value. The production Of oats, for in
stance, reached a total of 8,227,000
bushels, as against 7,407, 1913 bushels
in 1904, and 7,59S,1S5 bushels two
years ago. The total farm value of
this years oat crop is estimated at
$3,373,070

Predicts Another Massacre.

Odessa. A leading municipal coun-
cillor says he would not be surprised if
there should occur here within the next
few months a massacre of Jews more
appalling than any yet perpetrated, and
the same fears are expressed by many
others who are neither anti-semites or
sensation mongers.
Rabid anti-semites openly describe
the revolution as a God send oppor-
tunity of finally Kidding the country of
all the devourIng Jewish parasites. -
The civil governor, who has been
warned, replies that the Jews will be
effectively safeguarded, but it is doubt
full if he could cope with any widely
organized attack, and the alarming
fact remains that the anti-Jewish feel
ing here has never been more intense.
