Now it's question whether Orton-
vile is to have one or two new

married life.
The Herald Advance has also
found it necessary to purchase a
new and up-to. date machine So that
it could keep abreast of the times.
A new Omaha Folding Machine was
installed during the past week
which will enable the entire issue
to be made ready for the mails in
less time by two persons than it
formerly took with four.
The folder is attached to the press
and catches the paper as it comes
off, printed, and sends it thru a
mass and maze of belts, rollers,
knives and slots, from whence it
emerges the folded and trimmed
product which you will receive.
The machine is really ingenious. as
are most of the modern time saving
machines and we will be glad to
satisfy the curiosity Of anyone who
wishes to see it work if they will
come here Thursday afternoon
or evening when we are printing
the weekly issue. More equipment
will be added as it becomes
necessity and a possibility, sc that
we will be able to give you paper
Of value and service.

SUSPECTS MOTIVES OF TRADE SLOW-UPS

Washington, July 21-Administra- ton officials let 1t be known in an emphatic way yesterday that any de- hberate suspension of industrial &C., tivities for political purposes would not be tolerated. The announcement 1t was stated, was made in response to reports that there was already evil dence of an inclination on the part of certain railroads and corporations to slow up business.
 A White House official recalled President Wilson's memorable utter ance that any one found in conspiracy to precipitate a panic would be hung higher than Haman."
 It was stated that in the case of the so-called woollen Trust there were doubtless reasons for the closing Of certain plants that could not be con- strued as being political spite. all though charges have been made that the heads of the combine had inti- mated that there would be reprisals against the government.
 It was said that the uncertainty of the situation resulting from govern ment prosecution perhaps caused the action by the management, but it was not believed that the closing of fac- tories was actuated by a desire to get back at the Democratic administra- ton.
 Nobody would say where the sug- gestion that the laying-off of men might have a political significance came from, or what there was in sight that called for the yelled warn ing.

BORDEN CASHIER ROBBED OF $9,353

New York, July 21.+Surrounded by : children who shriei<ed their applause at the doings of what they thought i were movie actors, a gang of automo- bile bandits assaulted and robbed Will ! liam Fowler, cashier and paymaster ! of the Borden Milk Company distrib- uting plant at No. 400 East 29th street, of a tin box containing more than ! $9, 900, shortly before noon yesterday. [ It was-not until John Lewis, Il, of . No. 427 West 29th street, was clubbed : on the head by one of the gang that 1 the children and women watching the robbery realized a holdup was taking place and gave the alarm.
 Police of the East 37th street station :! are holding g. suspect who was driv- ing auto whose description and i license number tallied with that said ! to have been used by the robbers.
 The man was arrested in Brooklyn and brought back to the scene of the robbery. Several persons who saw ! the holdup failed to identify him last night
 The bandits drove their car to the curb a few yards from the bo@ement entrance of the four-story borden building. Peter Thieler, No. 446 West 36th street. had buggy directly in front of the office entrance waiting for Fowler.
 Two men aHghted from rhe auto' one walked to the side of the buggy and the other to the stairway coming up from the office and met Fowler, who was carrying the box containing the cash. The bandit pushed a gun in Fowler's face and demanded the box.
 Fowler handed it to him, and as the robber grasped the handle the pay master attempted to pull him down the steps. Bracing himself the bandit struck Fowler on the head with his revolver till he released his hold.
 As Thieler jumped from the buggy the second bandit knocked him sense- less with the butt end of a revolver. Running toward their car the robbers had to push their way through the throng of children. It was then that one of the bandits fe1led Johnny Lewis with his gun
 Twenty-Five detectives were as- signed to the case under the direction of Lieut.. Cornelius Wdllemse of the West 35th street station. The fact that the robbery had been staged the day after several large collections had been made caused the police to be- heve an employe of the plant was in league with the robbers.
