Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept I'll
Eight masked and armed burglars
held the people of White Cloud, forty
five miles north of here, at bay while
they rif1ed the Newaygo County bank
and attempted also to rob the bank OF
R. Cannon & Son. The eight men
rode into the town, surrounded the
buildings containing the two banks
and posted guards outside while other
members of the gang worked inside.
The interior of the Newaygo County
bank was wrecked by two explosions.
The burglars secured between $4,000
and $4,000. Dynamite was then used
to wreck the interior of the Cannon
bank. The explosions aroused the
residents. The robbers covered with
guns those who gathered at the bank
and rode out Of town on horseback.

which for the most part unified him
for his congressional duties, had affiict-
ed Representative Hit so that his de-
mise was not altogether unexpected
here. In fact, the greater part of the
work of the important committee Of
foreign affairs Of the house of repre-
sentatives, of which Mr.. Hit was
chairman, was during the entire last
session of congress discharged first
by Representative Robert Adams Of
Pennsylvania up to the time OF his
tragic death last spring and after
wards by Representatives Cousins Of
Iowa, Charles Lands of Indiana and
Perkins of New York.
Mr.. Hit was one of the popular men
In congress, his friendship including
men OF all parties, and because of his
wide experience and ability he was
always listened to with the greatest of
attention when he dealt with matters
pertaining to foreign affairs.

Havana, Sept. 21.--The leaders OF
the revolutionary movement have
called all the generals in the field to
conference in Havana. They are safe
from molestation during the truce.
s The taking of testimony was con-
5tinued during the day at the home OF
American Minister Morgan at Mari

the veterans, said to the Associated
Press that he believed Secretary Taft
was bound to find a solution OF the
difficulty. He is delighted with the
-secretary's forceful tact In securing
all basic facts bearing on the matter.
General Menocal considers his own
work at an end and has turned over
his reports to Secretary Taft. y
Government officials maintain firm
attitude, saying there is no reason to
recede from that position. They hold
that the present situation is not due IL

The year 1911 fs still some distance in

taking time by the fOrelock and are
already arranging for the celebration
OF the semi-centennial of the state at
that time Kansas was admitted to the
sisterhood Of states in 1861, and pro-
poses to celebrate its 50th birthday in
typical Kansas style. We have received
a little booklet from the publicity COM
rnittee telling Of the preliminary plans.
The state has been thoroughly organ
fxed with a committee in every county,
and the promoters declare that every
citizen in the state will be ON the gen.
eral copamlttee. The Kansas spirit per-
yades the enterprise and although the
scope Of the exposition is not fully
worked. out yet it is declared that it
will befin keeping with the event cele-
brSted and the opportunities presented
between now and 1911.

Shall our "jackies" in uniform be al
lowed to dance ON the same floor with
the officers of the navy? The question
is important enough so that 1t is going
to be tested in the courts and there is
much interest in the matter in various
circles. The election of young sailor
in uniform from a dance hall at New
port. r. l., for the avowed reason that
he was in uniform, furnishes the ma
terial for the case. 1t would be inter-
esting to know how broadly the New
port amusement association interprets
its rule not to permit any one in uni
form upon the floor. 1t is almost in
conceivable that naval officer in uni
form would be excluded. The fact
doubtless is that the hall referred to is
never patronized by officers and that
the rule is designed to discriminate
against the tackles" The recent re-
coma, Wash, make the Newport affair
the more important. since the tendency
to draw social lines against the en-
listed men in The navy, regardless of
the color line. seems to prevail in
widely separate localities. Secretary
Bonapartc is likely to ask Congress
again for law making such discrimi-
nations unlawful

York Republicans.

On the face of the returns it has
again been demonstrated that York
county is the banner county Of Repub-
licanism in Maine. 1t is true that the
Republican majorities have suffered a
reduction. taking the county as a
whole. but the percentage of reduction
is apparently considerably less than
that of any other county. The leaders
of the party. in this contest as in many
others in the past, were left to depend
upon their own resources. and they are
to be congratulated upon the result as
compared with the showing in other
parts Of the State. In the support of
the great national issues. as a heavy
contributor to results which have made
Maine one of the most prosperous
states in the Union, as an exponent of
safe and sane government as opposed
to government by impulse, York county
has never been found wanting.

II is said that one of the results or
the recent earthquake which proved so
disastrous to Valparaiso and other cit
les along the CHILEAN coast was the
Swallowing up of the little island Of
Juan Fernandez, known for genera
t;ons as the famous Robinson Crusoe
island" Many have scoffed at the
story Of the castaway sailor who lived
a solitary life for so many years on
lonely island, but the tale has never
.heless proved a source of endless en-
,oxrrent to thousands upon thousands
Of boys. and grown up persons, too, for
that matter, for nearly 200 years. Tile
island was discovered in 1874 by the
navigator for whom il was named, and
it was In 17O4 that the casting away of
a Scotch sailor, Alexander Selkirk, up
on this island where he remained four
years. formed the nucleus Of Defoes
romance. A few years ago an English
society placed a bronze tablet upon the
island in memory of the sailor Selkirls.
The Island was long resort Of Southern
Pacific pirates and in recent years is
said to have had a peaceful population
of about 100 people engaged in agri-
culture. 1t was situated about $50
miles from the Gillian coast, directly
west of Valparaiso and there We're two
other small islands near it. Although
the island is gone. the genius of Defos
has given in immortality
