man appeared to be frightened, and
in some haste backed toward the
door, still, however, keeping his re-
volver pointed toward Follis. Reach
ing the front door he repeated his
offer to Follis, who had not replied,
and with a quick movement turned
and ran out into the night, disap-
nearing in the thick underbrush
alongside the road. Follis, after his
narrowing experience, ran up the
road toward Kingston, where he met
n party of men who we're Fastening to
the house in response to the alarm
given by Mrs. FollIs.
According to the statements of
residents OF Kingston the man who
did the holdup act, and admitted to
having worked for Fohis. had been
around Kingston for little over a
week previous to Christmas eve's oc-
currence. He Is said to have told
Mr.. Follis that he had been in Lyons
for a number of weeks. Apparently
the man gave no name.
There is some suspicion that the
man may have been connected with
the murder of the Casteel family and
the hired man Montgomery, which
occurred a few weeks ago at Macleay
near Salem, as information obtained
last night by Sheriff Smith, OF Linn
county, from Lyons, indicates that a
man answering the holdup's descrip-
tion was in Lyons until a few days
before tn murder OF the Casteels.
This man left Lyons on the Friday
preceding the MURDER, and residents
OF Lyons say he lntimated that he
was going to Salem.
Sheriff Smith this morning left
for Kingston, and will make thor
ough inquiry into the affair. and Will
attempt to find some trace OF the
missing man. who is believed by
Kingston residents TO be Insane.
They say his actions while he worked
around Kingston we're those OF a
crazy man. The entire population
around Kingston is much excited
over the incident, and yesterday n
searching party OF men secured the
woods adjacent to the Follis home,
but could find no trace OF the man.

When 90 Go Home.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner:
"when tired out, go home. When
you want consolation. go home.
When you want fun, go home. When
you want to show others that you
have reformed, go home and let
your family get acquainted with the
fact. When you want TO show your
self at your best go home and do
the act there. When you feel like
being extra liberal go home and prac-
tlce on your wife and children first.
When you want TO shine with extra
briliancy go home and light up the
whole household" To which we
would add, when you have a bad

ALBANY
PEOPLE
HELP UP

A dispatch from Albany yesterday
says:
Returning home from the Christ
mas eve church services at Kingston,
TO be held up by a masked madman
at the point of a revolver, was the
terrible experience of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Follis, who reside on a
farm about a quarter of mile from
Kingston. The presence of mind of
Mrs. Follis, who escaped from the
house and ran to the nearest neigh
bors, informing them of what was
Occurring, perhaps saved the lives of
both herself and husband.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Follls reached
home after attending the Christmas
exercises they were surprised to find
that the front door of their rest
dence was open. Entering in the
darkness, Mr.. Follis struck match
and was about to light lamp stand
ing in one corner of the room, when
he found the wick was turned down
into the oil. Telling his wife that
he would get another lamp that was
in an adjoining bedroom, he opened
the door to enter, when he was
brought to a sudden stop by the sharp
command, Hands up" enforced by
a revolver 1eveled at his head.
Just walk back where you came
from and keep quiet" continued the
voice. Too frightened TO speak, Fol-.
lis obeyed with hands held high.
In the meantime, Mrs. Follls, who
had been standing within a few feet
of her husband when the order to
throw up his hands was given, quiet
ly fastened from the room and out
of the front door left standing open
and ran toward town to give the
alarm. owing to the darkness in
the room the holdup man did not see
the woman leave.
where's your wife?" querled the
masked figure. 81 head her Just q
moment ago"
Follis looked about but not seeing
her answered that he supposed she
had tainted in the kitchen. Guiding
his prisoner before him, the man
with the gun entered the room des-
ignated by Follis, and when no trace
of Mrs. Follls was found, Immediate
ly surmlsed where the woman had
disappeared 90. In the half light,
Follls recognized the "holdup" as u
tramp who had worked for him some
days previous. He accused his cap
tor OF being the man formerly in his
employ.
Suddenly changing his demeanor,
the man assumed a confidential tone
and admitted that It was true.

An Appeal for Aid.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Journal:
Dear Sir--At Monongah. West v,r
ginla, five miles from Fairmount. at
1880 a. m, Friday, December
1907, an explosion in mine No. and
mine No. 8 of the Falrmont Coal
Company occurred, resulting in the
death of approximately $50 en-
ployes.
Monongah is a mining town OF
about 5000 inhabitants. This disas-
ter has destroyed almost one-half of
its bread-winners. The other half
lis composed of the employees OF two
other mines of the same company.
,and OF the usual stores, etc, which
go to make up purely mining COM
,munity.
Fully $50 widows and 1000 chill
dren are left without any means OF
support. The most of these families
Illve in the company's houses at Mon
,ongah, the remaining ones in various
countries of Europe. The company
has generously declared that the fam
lies occupying these houses may re-
main untll other provision is made
for them, but operations cannot be
resumed at the damaged mines until
the houses are available for the new
force. Many OF the resident families
no loubt will want to return to their
relatives in their native countries in
Europe. The other resident families
must seek community in which they
can earn a livelihood.
Aid must be given these families to
reach their new abodes and to help
them establish themselves; and the
families living abroad must be pro-
vlded for until they can adjust them
selves 10 their new conditions.
AS near as can be determined at
this time almost $4,000 from all
sources has been subscribed. Upon
the basis OF $500 for each widow
and 500 for each child under 1G
years OF age, $175.0OO will be re-
qulred. At least $4,000 additional
will be needed to provide, on relative
ly the same basis. for the aged de-
pendents of the unmarried victims,
the many now unborn children and
the undoubted accession to the mar
ried victims list when complete In
formation has been received.
The committee feels that basis
lower than the above will not be ad-
equate TO properly care for the needs
OF the bereaved ones, and total ~
100000 will therefore be required
to carry out the relief work on this
basis.
The immediate needs OF the res
ident families are being amply met
by the company aud committee OF
women from Fairmont and Monon-
gah.
The committee begs to express It's
profound gratitude for the contribfi-
tions already so generously made,
and to earnestly appeal for the furth-
er assistance that Il feels Is so badly
needed.
The magnitude of this disaster Is

 Is in Charge.

Chicago, Oct, D. The National Baseball Commission will hold it's meeting tomorrow to arrange the details for the worlds series.
 President B. B. Johnson of the American League and President Harry Pulliam of the National Lea que, and c. H. Garry Herman have kept in communication by wire with each other for the last two days. Johnson said yesterday he had re- received TO word from Hugh Jen- nings, manager of the Detroit club, as to how he wanted the receipts divided.
 Word from Detroit says that there will be great difficulty in ar- ranging for the crowds if a part of the worlds series be played there.
 President Charles w. Murphy of the Chicago National League team is attending to the details for the worlds series, which starts next week. Requests for box seats keep flooding in and it looks as if a record would be set for attendance at the West Side Park.
