Attempted Bank Robbery.

by tHt HdIIOW HdTSl III OI twenty minutes $. l.. Todhunter of this place missed being in a fight with bank robbers at Cans, I. T., Friday night, or early Sat urdav morning. A few days ago Sheriff Philips received tip that some of the parties suspected of having a hand in the bank rob- bery at Lincoln, this county, re- gently had been seen in the vicinity of Sallisaw, l. T. Mir. Todhunter went down Friday morning to look after the matter, and that night about two o'clock word came to the officers at Sallisaw that the bank at Cans was being dynamited, and asked for help. Cans is on the Kansas City Southern railroad, nine miles south of Sallisaw, and MT. Tod hunter and three other officers procured a hand car and made the trip to that place as quickly as possible. On arriving they found the robbers had been gone twenty minutes. They made their get-a-way on d hand car, and MT. Todhunter and his party followed them as far as the Ar kansas River, and 1t was found that at this point they dumped their hand car into the river, and all trace of them was lost. There were five in the party, and the explosion, which blew the outside door of the safe open, aroused the people of the town who gathered and opened fire on the safe blowers. Two men worked inside the bank while three re- mained outside and returned the fire of the citizens. The fire got so hot that the robbers abandoned their undertaking, and made their escape. In all more than 100 shots were fired but no one was hit. The robbers left one charge of the explosive which they used in the inner safe door, which had not been exploded, and the owner of the bank was scared to death to go about 1t. not knowing when the pesky thing might go off. The safe contained more than Ss, GOO, and only a few nights before a safe Tn a mercantile establishment in the same town was blown open.
 MT. Todhunter feels confident that these are the same parties who robbed the bank at Lincoln. They used the same kind of light, the same explosives, and their methods were similar in many ways.
 Mir. Todhunter does not believe Henry Starr had hand in the affair, but he is sure that worthy was implicated in the Horatio bank robbery recently. The revolver that was taken from Starr after he was captured, but later got away, was formerly owned by Mir. Todhunter. He traded it to City Marshal Stokes of thls place, who, in turn, traded It to Starr.

Darby Scrvitor Most ohIigina Under
the circumstances.

A travelling man stopped recently at
a little country hamlet some miles
from a Texas city to sell a merchant
a bill of goods. There was only one
hotel in the place, and this had an I'M
savory reputation. He had only one
night to stay, however, SO he con-
cluded to make the best of bad bar
gain.
He went to his room early, and,
feeling the need of some hot water
to remove the stains OF his journey,
cast his eye about the wall for an
electric button, which, of course, was
conspicuous by its absence.
He happened to think that he had
seen a negro porter below, and, stick
ing his head out of the door, he yelled
Justify:
"Hey, you black rascal, come up
here!"
"Yas'r, yas'r, rs comm" was the
quick response, and a moment later
the old darkey appeared before the
drummer, bowling obsequiously, cap in
hand.
Il want some hot water, and want
It quick" said the drummer.

trembling. 1--WE amt got no hot

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Nd, says that she was COM
PEELED to abandon the use of coffee a
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health and that
she went over to tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her.
She further says: CAS- this time
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was SO much
pleased with the results that have
never been without it since. I COM
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the eK-
cessive cost Of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1889 in
1905, and only 14.48%o in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9, 734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law SUBJ
stantially as it stands.

Madison.-The state factory inspec-
tors report for the biennial period
ending Oct. 81, 1906, has just been
issued by the bureau of labor and in
dustrial statistics. The report shows
that there were 4,237 establishments
and 1858 buildings inspected and
that the inspectors reached 199,924
employees. 1t also shows that it re-
quires 445,253 horsepower to run the
entire factory system of the state.
Estimating this horsepower at cost
in coal at $40 per horsepower, it costs
the factory owners of the state near
ly $10,000,000 in fuel annually to run
their factories. This enormous sum
could be nearly all saved to employ
ing Wisconsin's water powers along
the rivers that are now running to
waste. The report also shows that
there is an average of three buildings
to each establishment, that one-half
of these buildings are constructed of
wood, two-fifths of brick and the re-
mainder of iron, stone or steel. 1t
further shows that sc per cent of all
the employees of the state are males,
IA per cent females, and only about
One-half of one percent are children
under 16 years of age. This is rela-
tive decrease OF 81 per cent in the

the 4,237 factories and workshops in
spected, the inspectors reached 1876
cigar shops, bowling alleys, mercan-
6,763 establishments inspected. In adj
dition to this the inspectors granted
II, 1858 permits to work in factories
and there were $500 permits granted
by county judges, making total OF
16,458 for the biennial period. Oh
the permits granted five out of eight

BOOKS THE CONNECTS READ.

What kind of books do convicts
read? Contrary to the general belief
this class of men, at least in the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, do not
show a marked desire for the blood
and thunder" stories, nor even for
other light fiction.
The most popular books among the
prisoners in the 7,0O0-volume library
of the penitentiary are text books and
works on the various trades and Ian
guages.
Among the languages Spanish is the
most popular, and in the last years
several prisoners have taught them
selves to read and write the language.
The text books upon French aud Ger
man come next in popularity, and
these, as the Spanish books, are al
