Development of Mail Order Business.

Previously mail order buying has
been confined largely to Western
cities, but Richmond, Va, has mail
order house based on the line of the
successful houses. There is no reason
why Richmond, being situated one
half way between Maine and Florida,
should not successfully compete for
the Eastern coast trade.
The Spotless Company, Inc, Box
364, Richmond, Va, began February,
2, 1905, and has since grown rapidly.
1t is advertising extensively, and has
recently gotten out catalogue which
they intend to add to year by year.
This catalogue contains practically
everything useful on the farm and in
the home, such as buggies, wagons,
harness, paints, farming utensils, etc,
and even groceries; and its prices arc
designed to compete with the Western
mail-order houses This should sound
pleasant to the farmers of the South,
because it allows them to buy from
Richmond and save a great deal IN
freight. Most mail-order purchases
are sold, freight collect, and the freight
from Chicago to the South is, OF
course, much higher than from Rich
mond to any Southern points. For
example. a farmer in buying a wagon
from Richmond would save probably
two or three dollars alone in freight
as compared with buying it from
Western cities.

ROBBED
RAINIER
BANK
Cashier Bound and Gagged
While Thieves Walk off
With S2400

A dispatch from Rainier, Or, last
night says:
While the cashier lay bound hand
and foot, gagged and tied to a table
in back room, two bandits leisurely
looted the State Bank of Rainier in
broad daylight yesterday afternoon.
1t was two hours before their unfor
tunate victim was able to free him
self sufficiently to give the alarm,
and in the meantime the robbers had
made their escape, taking with them
between $4,000 and $500 in gold
coin.
p. w. Van Aucher, the cashier, was
the only person in the bank when the
robbery was committed, having come
down, although IL was a holiday, to
work on his books. The robbers
were evidently aware of this fact,
and had laid their plans accordingly.
Walking in through the unlocked
front door, abut o'clock, unmasked
and dressed like ordinary workmen,
they attracted no attention from peo-
pie on the street, and when Mr.. Van
Aucher turned to wait on them. he
found himself completely at their
mercy.
The bandits had closed the door
behind them, and the shades on both
doors and windows had been drawn.
Seeing that 1t would be useless to re-
sist, Mr.. Van Aucher dumbly com.
piled with the conventional command
of hands up" backed by the pres
ence OF big six-shooter.
Looks Down Gun Barrel.
While the cashier looked down the
barrel of the revolver thrust into his
face through the paying teller's win
dow, the gun-holders companion
stepped in behind the counter and
deftly tied his hands with a stout
cord. A moment later a contrivance
OF wood and cloth was thrust into
Mr.. Van Aucher's mouth, and then, |
with the assistance of his companion,
who had lowered the gun and Joined |
him behind the wicket. the burly |
thug lashed the helpless cashiers |
feet together. dragged him into the
rear Office OF the bank and bound |
him securely to the long table in the |
center OF the apartment.
Leaving the cashier to struggle as
strenuously as he dared with the size |
OF the big siz-shooter still fresh In !
his memory, the robbers returned to
the front room, locking the door OF
the rear Office behind them, and pro-
ceeded to gather up their plunder.
The vault was open and the rob-
bers had no trouble In getting access
To the cash. Probably deciding that
II would be unsafe TO take the bills,
which could be Identified, and evil
IDENTIFY not wishing to burden them
selves with the silver. they swept the
gold into a canvas bag and departed.
Two $5 gold pieces in a tray in the
safe were overlooked No silver
or currency were found missing.

WRECKED AND BURNED.
Car Containing Goods of Wash
 ington County People Burned

Word has been received that the car containing the household goods, stock. etc, of Polk Will liams, Chas. Stearns and Jeff Mullins, which left Johnson Sat urday night for Portales. New Mexico. was in a head-in collision of two freight trains Sunday night near Carthage, Mo. The wreckage caught fire, and sever- al cars were burned. among the number being the car containing the goods and chattelS of Mes SITS. Williams, Stearns and Mul- linS. Shannon Clark was with the car. but so far as known was uninlured. In the car were Sey- en head of horses. and six of them were rescued. Everything else in the car was lost. We un- derstand three of the train men were killed.
 While waiting to take the train here Tuesday morning Mr. Stearns received q telegram from Mr. Clark at Carthage, which was unintelligible to him at the the time, as 1t read about as fol- lows: Work. Come immedi- ately. In the light of later de- velopments 1t Is clearly evident that the word work should have read wreck. and Mr. Stearns boarded the train for New Mexico without being ap- prised of the true condition of af- fairs.
 The many friends of these gen . tlemen learn with regret of their misfortune. but their loss will be only temporary, as the railroad company will no doubt make 1t good to them.
