mail SACKS STOLEN
BANDITS TURN TRICK NEAR
OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
Four Masked Men Secured Seven Mail
Sacks Believed to Have Contained
Valuable Contents-Thought to Be
the Same as Operated on G. N. Train
Near Spokane Recently.

Omaha, Neb., May 23.-Four masked
bandits held up and robbed Union Pa
cific passenger train No. ?, known as
the Overland Limited, few miles
west of the city just before midnight
and secured seven mail sacks, believed
to have contained large quantity of
registered mail.
The robbers evidently got on the
train at some point west of here. The
holdup occurred about five miles west
of the city limits in a deep cut along
the recently constructed Lane cutoff.
The robbers climbed over the tank and
forced the engineer to stop his train
and then proceeded to the mail car.
The clerks were forced to open the
door and hand out seven pouches of
registered mail.
Once they secured the bags, they
hurried away in southerly direction
and permitted the train to proceed.
The passengers were not molested and
as soon as the robbers left the scene
of the holdup the train came to this
city.
A big squad of police hurried to the
scene and quickly started in pursuit
of the bandits.

At a trustees examination of the
pupils of public school in a New
England town, the queries put were
met so satisfactorily that the princi-
pal speaker finally announced himself
highly pleased and that he would be
glad to answer any question that the
pupils might in turn put to him.
After much reflection one little chap
arose and made known his desire to
put a question. Permission being
granted, he dazed the trustee with this
one:

now that the senate win consent to the
adoption of the joint resolution that

rule applying under the existing stat
utes, $241,OOO of which will be saved

Near City Limits.

The robbery occurred within a mile
of the city limits. There were eight
clerks on the mail car, and they were
forced to open the doors. The chief
clerk was singled out and asked to
point out the registered mail. This
he did and the robbers gathered up
seven pouches The leader then re-
marked: "This is all we can get into
our automobile" They left the scene
quickly.
A fusilade of shooting was kept up
during the robbery, evidently to in
timidate the passengers and crew. A
Hagman who went to the rear mar
rowly escaped being shot by the rob
Der guards.
The bandits are believed to be the
same or part of the same gang that
robbed the Great Northern near Spo
kane about a week ago.

ANOTHER NAME FOR
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL
GOLDEN HONOR ROLL

Salem, Ore, Route 6, Dec. as
Dear Editor Journal: l would like
for you to put the name of Mary
Sappingfield on your roll of honor.
She will be 80 years old on the 18th
of January. She is living in Salem
the past few years with her son,
Charles. She came to Oregon in
1S47 and settled on Howell Prairie,
living on the G.. l.. Eoff farm for
about 60 years. She was a near
neighbor of T. T. Geer's grandmoth-
er, and could tell you if she could see
you how in early days the Indians
came to Mrs. Eoff's house and tried
to take her flour, when she was
alone with her little children. So
T. T. Geer's grandmother got the
axe and sat down upon her -four box
and prevented the Indians from TAX
ing her flour. Mrs. Sappingfield was
present at the time, when she went
home and told her folks. She knew
Mrs. Eoff would be killed that night,
but the Indians did not return to
molest Mrs. Eoff
1.-THE Journal is very glad to add
to this roll the names of men and
women in Oregon who are over so
years of age. 1t will form some very
interesting links of history, and, in
our opinion, if we could get a COM
plete list of people of so years or
over it would be the best advertise
ment of the climate of Oregon that
could possibly be got out. Ed. ].

MINOR ADVENTURES
IN THE CAPITAL CITY

Eight horses were peacefully re-
clining upon State street yesterday
afternoon, due to the flushing of a
hydrant on the corner of State and
Commercial streets. Driver Utter
of one of the Wells Fargo wagons,
held up the street car on State street
in order to keep off the ice; two
cord load of wood was hauled over
the icy section of State street, and
Joe Adolph was seen cutting figures
on the slippery cement. This is "a
date in history" as such occurrences
are far between in Salem.
The Southern Pacific Company has
hied their Greek laborers to the
farm section of their line, and it is
now up to the city to complete the
paving at the intersection of Com
mercial and Trade streets.

MultnOmah Organization Adopt
Resolutions Condemning
the Assembly"

The Multnomah county oranges in
joint session held Wednesday.
December %, at Evening Star
Grange hall, went on record against
the proposed constitutional conven-
tion and the so-called Assembly"
There were some IT'S delegates
present representing the 10 county
oranges. The vote on the two uues-
tions was unanimous. Expressions
of the resolutions Were to the effect
that the assembly, cut and
dried means of the politicians to re-
turn to the old days of graft and
boodle-was intended to assist in
eliminating the initiative and refer
endum from our constitution by the
proposed constitu tional assembly.
All friends of direct free govern
ment of the people were called upon
to defeat both the convention meas

ure and candidates nominated by the
assembly"
The resolution reads:
Whereas, we are now confronted
with the declaration that the assem-
bly, plan of conventions will be in
stituted in Oregon for the purpose
or placing in nomination state and
county Offices for the several posi-
tions with the state; and,
Whereas, we deem this a depar-
ture from the spirit and letter. in
tent and purpose of the direct pri-
mary law, and,
Whereas, the state and local
oranges have at all times gone on
record as favoring. advocating and
declaring their fealty, initiative and
referendum laws; and,
Whereas, we believe this plan of
procedure known as the assembly in
placing men of their selection for
nomination for the various offices of
the state is wholly unwarranted and
contrary to the best interests of the
state and showing a weakening on
the part of the voters of the state
to the several sister states which
are meditating and working for q
direct primary, initiative and refer
endum law; therefore, be it
Resolved, that Multnomah Po-
mona grange, in session at Evening
Star Grange hall, denounce this So
called assembly convention system
and appeal to all good citizens to
unite with us in defeating the plan,
purposes and aspirations of all those
who employ this method of securing
a nomination, which we regard as a
return to the old boss rule in poll
tics and multiplying the usefulness of
the direct primary law in Oregon
and stultifying the intelligence of
her electorate"

son of the first of the family to set
tie in Oregon, presided j. BV. But
Ter left Pittsfield, ILL.,, in 1S4S, and
located in Oregon City the following
year, and in 1852 moved to Port
land, building log store at the place
where the court house now stands.
In 1852 he moved to Eola, then
called Cincinnati, near Salem, con-
tlnuing there until 1858, when he
came to Monmouth locating on the
homestead now occupied by ]. b. V.
Butler, the youngest son.
These annual reunions have be-
come an established institution in
the family and all new members
who have married into the family
during the year are duly initiated and
received into the connection with ap-
propriate ceremonies.

DO 1T NOW.
Salem People Should Not Wait Until
1t Is Too Late.

The apaplilng death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney troub-
les are usually neglected until they
become serious. The slight symptoms
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the
grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's
Disease, gravel or some other serious
form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not de-
lay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they cure
where others all. Owe rome hundred
thousand people have recommended
them. Here's case at home:
