Of Gang in Three Weeks.

Three highwaymen. each armed with o
revolver, held up and robbed Samuel Bot
tenstein, a collector for the cigarette firm
OF S, Monday & Son. Of Williamsburg.
last night while he was driving along
Kent avenue. The bandits got $50 in
cash and checks amounting TO between
$500 and 800.
Bottenstein had been delivering orders
and collecting money all day. He was re-
turning to the facory at about o'clock
when the three men confronted him. AT
the point where the hold-up occurred the
street is dark. on one side is a freight
yard and on the other two tall buildings,
in which freight cars are loaded.
One man grabbed the horre and the
other two, with revolvers In their hands,
jumped into the rig and ordered Botten-
stein to keep quiet, threatening 10 blow
his brains out. One Of the men then
searched his pockets, while the other
held a revolver TO his forehead Finding
no money in the pockets, the robbers &C.
manded that Bottenstein tell where he
had secreted the days receipts. Paralyzed
with fear, Bottenstein was unable TO
speak. The robber struck him over the
head with tho butt OF HE gun and then
threw him off tho seat on the seat the
robber found a satchel, IN which Botten-
stein kept his money. .....
The third bandit was still holding the
horse. When the two men in the RIG had
taken the money they warned Botten-
stain to make no cutlery. Then the two
cried. IAN rightv' TO the man holding

Cincinnati, Dec. 7.-Under the heading

A GROWING CAUSE.

Governor Osborn Is a strong con-

and frequently takes occasion 10 ex-
press his views on this subject. Sat

Of the Michigan society. he declared
the influence of woman in government
is needed. particularly that Of home"
woman. Il say home woman because
it is the home life that is creeping
into every day public life and will
have a good effect towards making us
a better people and a better country"
he remarked.
The governor is much impressed
with the dignifed manner in which
the sunragists of Michigan are con-
Quoting their campaign for equal
rights in the affairs of state govern
ment. Il was in Lansing last winter
and was visited by delegations seek
ing 10 prevent equal suffrage" said
he. Il looked them over and conclud-
ed to cast my lot with the other
side" The suffragists lost out I'm their
fight in the legislature. but they made
q good showing which has encourage
ed them TO push their campaign more
strongly than ever. Since the legisla-
ture adjourned there have been evil
dences that this determination on
part Of the suffragis,s is bearing
fruit The movement has received
added impetus by the conversion of
the governor and other prominent men
TO the cause. Included in this num-
Der is Senator Moriarty OF Crystal

that II was su. gested TO him that the
prospect that tonnage tax would be

Knox letter that the writer SAYS that
$4,000 Of the proposed fund should be
raised IN the upper peninsula hut he
does not say that this amount should
be solicited from the mines. He does,
indeed, suggest the agitation of the
tonnage tax question as one reason
why the mining companies should be
pretty liberal" If Mr.. Knox had ex-
pressed himself with exactness he
would doubtless have written this the
mining men," or the men interested
In the mining Industry" for Mr.. Knox
knew that the mines as corporations
were not in politics.
Considerable money was raised in
the upper peninsula for the Osborn
campaign fund. Good sized contribu-
tiions were also made TO the Burrows
fund. and a modest amount of money
was raised hereabouts 10 help Senator
Townsend defray the expenses of his
