Reader, did you ever take Simmons
Liver Regulator,' the "Kinqi ov
Lives Medicines V" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy, , It is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou
bles, and give tone to the whole svs-
tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver A
Regulator is better tSan Pills. It
does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly
refreshes and strengthens. '

A DARING ROBBERY
The Joseph Bank Sacked by
Three $lasked Men.
TWO THOUSAND SECURED
One Killed, one.Wounded, the
Third Escaped.
The bank of Joseph' was robbed by
three men between 2:30 end 3 o'clock
last Thursday afternoon. Ooe of the
robbers was shot dead, another one
wounded and the third escaped with the
"sw,B" towards the mountains. From
all accounts it was a most daring piece of
work. Three men came up to the bank
together, with their faces blackened as a
means of diBguise. Thore were four cus
tomers in the bank at the time, Ttiey
were ordered under cjver of double
bar relied f.hot gun to throw- up their
hands, and the same injunction was given
to J. D. McOully, acting cashier, One
of the robbers climbed the railing and got
access to the cash drawer and vault and
the third stood guard at the door. The
cashier was compelled to open up the re
ceptacle likely to contain money,, and all
the funds on band, amounting to $2000,
was swept into the sack and carried away
by the robbers. ....
In the meantime the people on the
outside discovered what was going on in
side, and two men, Fred Wagner, armed
with a repeating rifle, and a Mr. Donally,
with a shot gun, prepared to give the
bandits a warm reception as they em
erged from the bank. .
The four persons , in the bank were
marched out ahead and as the robber
who had the sack, a man named Brown,
came out he was immediately Bhot do wn.
The robber who guarded tbe door, a man
named Tucker, also fell from a bullet
Where Do You Stand?
, J. N.; Williamson, in The National Blmeiallist.
On February 20, 1896, in the United Stales Senate, Henry Cabot
Lodge, the apostle of the gold standard, speaking on the failure ot
Lord Salisbury to protect the Armenian Christian, said: ,
"But, Mr. President, Lord Salisbury obeys a stronger force, a
mightir will than his own. In the last resort, the power which
controls in Europe and ifi England, is the great power of money
and the money lender. The money lenders do not care how manyj
Armenians are butchered; the Armenians are not nominated in the
bond; but they care very much that nothing shall be done to dis
turb values; and they fear that if England moved to rescue the
wretched Armenians values might be disturbed and Ottoman bonds
decline." ' , -; ' "
The republican party admits, as fully as its opponents have; de
dared, that the experiment of the single standard of gold has been
'.a disastrous failure, even though it seeks to veil its admission be
hind an allegation of other causes, and the present difference be
tween political parties ia this: The republican party proposes to
entrust the relief of the American people to this "stronger force,"
this "mightier will" of money andt the money lenders which rules
Euiope and England; which cares not for the butchery; of men, but
demands that humanity and patriotism be laid aside; which is in
"different to everything as long as nothing shall begone to distutb
values, and that bonds may not decline; while the opponents of that
party propose rather to risk having gold at a premium than to
have that "stronger; force," that "mightier will," that "power of
money and the money lender" rule America and wipe out "govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the people." :..'
On which side of this fight are you going to place yourself? Tlje
men of '61 not only allowed gold to go to a premium higher than
any threatened by the gold men of today, but, also, risked their
lives in order that men of a different race should not.in a land ded
icated to freedom, be slaves, and will you, for yourselves and your
children, put up your handa.to be bound by thtj ehackles of money
and the money lender, through fear that gold will go -to a prem-
wound, bnt the third robber Cy Fitz
bugb, ran and grabbed the eack and
dropping his gun reached his bores and
escaped. Ia the fusillade between the
robbers and citizens about 25 ehots were
exeba-ged. Before auempting the job
the robbers had stacked some guns and
ammunition outside the town n here they
expected to make a stand in cape they
were pursued. Fitzbugb, tho fleeing
bandit, went to this place and re-armed
hitneelf and struck for tbe mountains in
the direction of Cornucopia. At the time
of leaving he took a shot at a citizen who
chanced to be coming in his direction,
bnt tbe ballet did no further damage
than to pasa through his clothing. A
popsa started in pursuit and followed
Fitzhngh last night, but no news from
them have yet been received1. Tucket,
the wounded robber, made a clean breast
of the plan of tbe robbery. All three of
the highwaymen had been in Wallowa
for some time. Brown and Fitishugh had
been employed at farm hands in the
Prairie creek neighborhood east of Jest ph
fo' several months. '
Tbe bank officials have offered a re
ward of $500 for tbe capture of the rob
ber. Tbeposee that went in search of Cy
Fitzhogb, the robber that escaped with
tbe money, bas returned to Joseph. No
trace of Fitzhngh was found after be
changed horses, eicept that a hunter
claims to jbave seen Fitzhngh jnet before
dark Thursday evening, VI miles from
Joseph, and that Fitzhngh was on the
trail leading to 8nake river, and evident
ly intended to cross tbetiverat Brown
lee's ferrv. He was alone, and carried
no rifle, being armed w ith a pistol. It ia
thought that it is impossible for him to
escape.
Charged With Cattle-Stealing;.
William Hanley, of the firm of Hartley
Bros., stockmen of Harney county, has
been arrestod in Malhenr county, charged
with stealing cattle. On the drive from

sisted there were more of his cattle in

ANOTHER BLUFF CALLED.
A McKinley Man Failed to Put up on
Oregon and California.
On Thursday evening the usual street
political talk was going on. and a big
crowd was congregated in front of a prom
inent Baker Oity business house, a favor
ite place for open air political discussions,
says the Democrat. There was present
Hon. W. F. Butcher, who never fails to
draw a crowd when he opens his lungs,
especially when the silver question is the
issue. The gontleman in the course of
his remarks made some reference to Cal
ifornia and Oregon, and asserted confi
dently that Bryan would carry both the
states by handsome majorities, A Mc
Kinley man who heard the Col.'s bold
s'atemeut, took exception to it and Bald
that he would b$ t $3J0 on each state.
Ooh Butcher invited the gentleman to
walk to tbe bank'and put up or shut up.
The McKinley man said the money bo
had offered to bet belonged to a friend
in Portland and , be would wire for it,
He further agreed to be on hand with
the money at the bank at 9 o'clock yes
terday morning. The hour arrived and
tbe McKinley man and his money failed
to materialize. When seen later, he said
that he had wired for the money but re
ceived In response the advice: "Not to
bet."
This ia about tbe way all the Oregon
and California offers to bet turn out. No
sane man will bet on either of these
states giving its electoral vote to Mc
Kinley. They are both sure Bryan win
ners. A Wife Equal to a Gold Mine.
