Rice looks a little the worse for
the strenuous experiences through

but will remain in jail and rest his case

worship early this morning to await
the destruction of the world by. fire
in fulfllment of their prophecy.
In the chapel of Ashsdadt, as they

outsiders to repent and join the fold.
Yesterday eighteen converts were
baptized.
AS ten o'clock, the appointed time,

a sure sign of the end, but the sky
soon cleared and the millennium was
postponed for brief period.
It was explained that it had been
revealed that the end would come dur

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON

One of the boldest daylight rob
berries that has taken place in Las
Vegas in some time, occurred this
afternoon, when entrance was effected
to the residence of Mrs. Christy
Shaver at 311 Railroad avenue,
through a rear window, and a trunk
in a bedroom was broken into and
rifed of it's contents. The thief Sc
cured solid gold watch, a gold ring
and some small change
Mrs. Christy was in the house at the
time, but so stealthily did the thief
operate that she was not aware of his
presence until after he had departed.
Going to the room where the trunk
was, she saw it open and the contents
scattered on the floor and upon inves-.
tigation found it had been rided.
The victim of the robbery tele-
phoned police headquarters at once
and, according to Mrs. Shaver, who
ever answered the telephone said he
would tell the chief of police at once.
Up to O'Clock this afternoon the of
ficer had not yet put in an appearance.
The thief, therefore, has evidently
made good his escape.

In this latter car an electric piano

something new in this neck O. the

attention.

where a day will be spent. The next
stop will be at Seattle, where the big

PETTY QUARREL TIES
UP MINES IN MONTANA

Butte, Mont, Sept. 24.-As result
of a fight between the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the hoisting
engineers, eighty per cent of the
Butte mines closed down this morn
ing. A majority of the engineers Sc
ceded from the federation and estab-
iished a new union. The federation
ordered the miners not to go to work
this morning in the mines employing
engineers belonging to the new union.
The situation is remarkable in that
the employers have nothing to do
with it. No strike or walk-out was
ordered and the question of hours,
wages or rules is not involved.
Unless the unions settle the differ
;ences within few days, the big
smelters at Anaconda and Great Falls
will close, Throwing out of employ
ment $4,000 men.

81 Madrid, Sept. 24-It is generally be.

between Spain and Mulai Hafid, sui
tan of Morocco, which are likely to
result in war in distinction from the
war now going on with the Kabyle

and which, should it occur, would be
appalling compared with the present

This latest action has apparently
been forced by political conditions at

newed anxiety to the government.
Bomb outrages are said to be, of daily
in that city.
All newspapers are being promptly
confiscated by the government au-

CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
ALLIANCE OF INDEPENDENTS
AND REPUBLICANS MAY DE-
FEAT DEMOCRATS
GAYNOR HEADS UNTERRlFIED
FORMER SUPREME COURT JUS
TIcE CHOSEN TO SAVE THE
GANG FROM ROUT

New York, Sept. 24.-With an an
nouncement from the platform that
practically all the fusion and inde
pendent forces in Greater New York
except the independence league
would work in harmony to elect its
candidates in the coming municipal
election, the republican city cpnven-
ton in Carnegie hall unanimously
nominated these candidates for the
three leading municipal Offices last
+, night:
For mayor-Otto T. Barnard, pres
Z ident of the New York Trust COM
/. pany resident of Manhattan borough.
For comptroller-Wil A. Prem
dergast, for many years president OF
the Credit Mems National association;
resident of Brooklyn.
For president of the board of alder
men-John P. Mitchell, present COM
missioner of accounts and an inde-
pendent democrat; resident of Man
haitian.
The fusion element is centered IN a
non-partisan committee of 100, sub
committee of which has been trying
for the past week to agree on candi-
dates. The Independence league del
egate withdrew from the conference
yesterday because the league would
not be a party to bargaining for Of
fices,, as the dissenting delegate ex-
pressed it.
Notwithstanding the Independence
leagues detection and some minor
friction among the fusionists, republi-
can leaders say that the alliance in
opposition to Tammany is still for
midable.
The democratic union, an independ-
ent democratic organization, last night
nominated Supreme Court Justice
William ]. Gaynor for mayor, John J.l
Hopper for comptroller and William
G. Retfield for president of the board
of aldermen.
Justice Gaynor was similarly hon
ored by the municipal democracy, an
other independent body, earlier IN the
week, and he will be relied upon to
save the Tammany ticket from defeat.

west Is NO LONGER
WILD and WOOLLY

From the annual report made by the
Pinkerton National Detective Agency
to the American Bankers Association
at its recent meeting in Chicago,
1t is discovered that the middle west
ern and eastern states are the scenes
of bank robberies to greater extent
than the western states. Also the re-
port states that the professional bank
burglars have been disbanded and the
''yegg'' burglar has cropped up in his
place.
During the last year burglars Sc
cured $137,809.27 from eighty-nine
banks which are non-members of the
American Bankers Association, as
against $21, ,500.01 from eighteen banks
belonging to the association. Not a
single member of the association was
attacked in the middle western states.
while twenty-five non-members were
robbed of over $4,000. Western and
Pacific coast states did not report the
robbery of solitary member but dep
relations to the number of seven were
committed upon non-members. The
heaviest losses to members were lin
the northwestern states.
The report shows 107 attacks by
burglars upon banks for the past year
seventy-nine of which were west Of
the Mississippi river. Only eight of
the seventy-nine we're members of the
association. Just seven holdup rob-
berries were committed last year upon
members. Hall letterbox thieves are at
present causing the banks much trou-
BILE. These operations are mostly in
the large cities, and especially in New
York. More than $50 cases were in
vestigated for the banks by the detec-I
tive agency the last year. Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Neb-
raska lead in the number of bank bur
glaries reported the past season.
