After an arduous and expen-

in session from the first Monday
in January until the 22d of Feb
ruary, Mr.. Duke @. Bowers, of
Memphis and Dresden, saw his
bill to abolish capital punish

much larger odds than he was
prepared to expect.
Prompted by humanity alone,

he considers a more effective

ministratisn currency bill was pro-
posed by Senators Reed, Hitchcock

serve up to Is per cent. of the cap
ital stock of each individual bank.
That would be in addition to the pres

dividual banks "subservient to com
bination of banks" Mr.. Untermye1
opposed the Hitchcock plan as not of
fering enough security to the govern
ment for the issue of currency.

In the Interesting People" De
Magazine appears a sketch OF Thorn
as J. Ryan, who to-day is conductor
anne rout over which he used to
drive d stage-coach over fifty years
ago. The following is an extract:
Thomas J. Ryan is his name.
During the Civil War period he was
a stage driver on every division OF
the Overland route. from the Missou-
ri River to Salt Lake City. Also he
was a freighter. in pioneer days.
working with a wagon train between
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Denver.
His frontier experience likewise in
/ cludes the time he was employed by
railroad contractors when the Union
Pacific was being built through the
raw territory of Wyoming.
These last forty years over the
same trail where formerly he held
the reins as driver of the old Concord
coach, Mr.. Ryan has been conductor
of a passenger train. In territorial
days, as soon as the railroad was
built between Nebraska City and
Lincoln, he was the first brakeman.
Continuously ever since then (and he
will be seventy in December) he has
been a ~traininan on the same line,
running between those same terminal
points.
In reviewing the events OF his adj
career. this veteran stage
driver was saying the other day,
Back in the early COS we knew moth
ing of Western bad men. They
weren't there-nOt. at least, until at
ter the War. No coach was held up
and road agents were unknown.
Treasure in those days, we used to

when sixty thousand dollars was be-
ing transported from Denver to St.
Joe. Close to Godfrey's Ranch the
stage broke down and there it stood a
solid week, nobody near, nobody
guarding it. The express messenger
didn't bother to remove the money.
AS for Indian scares, we didn't
know of the like-not then. Even
the Sioux and C~heyennes were very
friendly. If you wanted to shoot
game, Indian hunters would be glad
to go with you. If you lost a mail
bag off the coach. you appealed to
the Indians to help you find it. Those
were days when we didn't suppose
the day would ever come when the
whiz of hostile arrows would give /
man goose-hesh-or worse.
That time did come
-" Then was the time, he said,
when We had more than one bobble
with the Indians. Every stage car
ried two guards. And when attack
ed-well. the thing to do is to pull
in your horses to a dead stop. Down
hop the guards, Passengers get out,
women and all. Many a woman |
have seen gun-belted, cool, as steady
in action as the town marshal OF New
Julesburg when that town was the
worst hell-hole of the West.
While you hold your six-horse
team, everybody scatters. They get
away from the coach. They sprawl
out fiat on the ground and burn their
powder careful. As soon as two or
three Indians go .heeling off their
ponies. the fight is over. Even when
the Sioux raiders were armed with
muzzle-loading guns they did't stard
much show against the improved,
l0ng-range rifles o the guards and
the passengers.
