Inasmuch as the Fourth dis

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

That is q peculiar story which comes
from Cylinder, where it is related by
a correspondent that the whole town
terrorized by four men looked on while
the ysggs wrecked bank and carried
away the contents Of the safe. Tho
correspondence says that the burglars
worked nearly two hours under the
knowledge Of practically the entire
population Of the village which num-
bers about $50 persons.
Certain brands Of fiction set scenes
like this where one man or a half dozen
tefrortse and control large numbers of
persons and take things away from
them. Il the Cylinder robbery has
baen honestly described. the old saw
has been corroborated. There is no
fiction stranger than truth.
Nsvsrtheless, 1t still seems inpos-
sihle that burglars could work on IN
molsstsd for two hours under view Of
$50 persons and get away unframed
and unopposed. Il it happened in your
village what would you do?

WHERE ADAMS GOT HIS.

What times are these We have come
upon in Dubuque when the six hosed
leaders OF the republican party are not
able to deliver the goods?
What are the thoughts crowding in
the mind Of the Hon. Lafayette Young
when he recalls that as he left the
friendly board on his last visit to Du
buque he carried secure in his vest
pocket the endorsement of Dubuque
county for United States senator?
The colonel thought those who deliv-
cred from their own vest pockets were
passing over the goods, but the colonel
knows now they were green goods.

all the tremendous, far reaching and
altogether wonderful influence of the
organ lately weaned from the patron
age trough, not all the efforts Of all
who fought with Allison awaited to
give the county 20 Young. Kenyon
got it-kenyon, who offended the Taft
trumpeters at Cedar Rapids and sent
them out armed with stilletos to get
him in the June primary.
Evidently conditions are changing in
the republican party in Dubuque. Evil
