After busying himself a few minu tes with tbe mail and axpreae, the robber forced each man to step back of tbe lined-up people and took tbelr pocket-books one-at a time. He re fused watches, but took all the pis tola in sight. All were ordered Into tbe stage and went on their way. T Reveals Awful Heorets, A dispatch from Klnat, N.

It Is recalled by a former Youngstown man there that Llu e Grombacher wore such a veil when murdered and that pert of it was used to strangle her. The piece found about Herilg's neck Is supposed to be tbe remainder of the veil, sa he showed such a piece to a fellow ranch man to whom he told the story of his orlm*, declaring that he had kept It all these yean to use in ending his own life some day. brought out round after round of ap plause by tbe eulogy of Bryan and the pies tor Democratic harmony with which ho closed a speech In which he declared that Bryan had long ago declared in favor of crushing the traits, reforming the tariff and bringing to arbitration all Internation al disputes. □In a brief address Judge J.

It was not long before one piece of circumstantial evldenoa after another led to Jackson's arrest, end when tbe deputy sheriff brought him before Mrs. Brothers she Identified him most positively, and be was brought to Jail. A month or two later the negro was admitted to ball by some magistrate, and It was only a short time ago that he lost one eye aid came near losing his life In an attempt to enter tbe room of e negro woman In the night time.

These things are the teachings of the devil, and what else, then, than the corruption of hell.

Murder And Suloidn. ’ it Special from Tarpon Springs says at 6 o’clock Wednesday evening G.

The Washington Port says it Is a rather remarkable feck that, although the Democracy, as a national org'nli at ion, has always been oppwe | to '‘sumptuary lawt,” such as statu .or j prohibition of the liquor trafflj, the most and tbe beet kind of prohibition Is now found In the few states that are solidly planted In the Democratic columns. The Boston Globe notes with Interest tbat while Maine le growing more and more uneasy about the sys tem of prohibition, and getting ready, for a campaign of rcsubmission to the people of the whole question, Geurgf and South Carolina an earnestly log prohibition. The Globe statesihat already In Georgia 103 counties have no license, 28 have dispensaries, aad 6 have high license. The effort no w le, says the Globe, to have the legislature provide a system of “State option” under which the six counties enjoy would'be wiped out. Our Boston eun temporary adds that: “In South Carolina there le a re markable movement to close np tbe dispensaries, and Senator Tillman pro pbtea to leave the question to the Democratic primary. The prohibition Ists in South Carolina, aa will as In Gecrgla, are confident that tbelr cause will win If presented tebthe people. “At the same time It ls eurlous that the opponents of prohibition In Maine and Kansas, where the system has been tried, are as confident that tbe people are ready to vote against a oon tlnuanoe of tbe present regime as tbe Georgia and South Oarollnan prohibi tionists are tbat their case needs only tabe presented to find acceptance at tbe hands of the people. ” -The Poet is In receipt of a very long and Intensely earnest communication from a South Carolina Democrat who, after applying to the liquor trade In his State all the epithets that used to be burled at the rumsellers and tbelr places of busings in Maine sixty years ago,-closes by quoting this etanaa from a song that was sung at temperance meetings In New England by, tbe grandparents of the present genera tion: “Tell me 1 hate the bowl? -Jl&fce te a feeble worfc I loathe, abhor, my very son 1 , With strong disgust Is stilled When I see, or hear, or tell ; Of the dark beverage of belli” Shot by m Burglar.
