CATERERS TO THE PUBLIC IN GOOD THING3 TO EAT GANG RUN TO EARTH Charged With Robbing Post offioe and Bank CAPTAIN IN FIRE DEPARTMENT Wholesale Arrests Made by Federal Officers Gresham Bank Robbers. With tho arrest Saturday night of Frank Wane, A. Tumbull, oaptaiu of Chemical company No. 1, A. F. Bry ant, bartender at Tom Fallon's notor ious north end saloon, and Louis L. Smith, the mystery of the Selhvood and St. Johns postofiice robberies, the Greshaui bank robbery and the bind ing and robbing of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Beardsley and their servant giil in Center addition January 10, has been cleared up and with the evidenoe the government authorities have at hand the conviction of tho men is expected, says the Portland Journal. The arrests were made on warrants sworn out in United States Distiiot Attorney Bristol's office and placed in the hands of Deputy United States Marshal Nichols, Bnshee and Grifflith. These men received instruc tions to make no arrests until Wane, who is the ringleader, was placed in custody. Wane is said to be one of the most desperate criminals in the country and is known to have served several terms in the penitentiaries in various parts of the country. A reward is out for his arrest. Turnbull aoted as a f ence for the stolen property and is the man who offered the stamps which were stolon at St. Johns postoffico to Ashley & Rumelin, the Stark street bankers, who declined to buy them. The stamps were worth about $200 and were offered for $160. They were afterward sold to other persons and the government officers know where they are, but decline to disclose the names of tho persons who purchased them. Bryant, the bartender, was the man who located the various places to be robbed. He has a ranch near tho place where old man Beardsley and bis wife were bound and gagged and told the gang of the conditions which governed the house on the night of the robbery. Bryant also located the Sell- Athena, Oregon, j and Tea Athena, Oregon. wood postoffice for the burglars, but this was contrary to work planned for the robbers by Turnbull, who wanted me men to rob tne postoffice on East Buruside street. ' Friction resulted from the conflict between the two men but had no effect upon the orgauiza tionof the eau&r. The story of the Sellwood robbery is interesting in tnat the robbers believed that they had killed Officer Soreusoa and were prepared to get out of the city on the niortiug of the robbery. Alter the shootiug, the men thore were four in the crowd ran down to the river, where Wane counseled throwing thoir revolvers away. The other men demurred aud Wane was the only man who threw his wenpon into the river. When they reached the Madison streot bridge the meu parted and Wano went to the east side, where he took a Vanoouver car and went to the Washington city. From Vancouver Wnn talanhnnnil to Bryant aud asked concerning Soren son's condition. When advised that the officer was not dangerously wound ed Wane returned to Portland aud joined bis comrades in their rooms at the plaoe where they were arrosted by tho police. The story of the Gresham bank rob bery is also interesting, because of the bungle which the men made of their work. Wheu they commenced opera tions on the safe they beiieved that it was fireproof, and discovered that it was burglar proof, and injected so mnoh nitroglycerine into the borings they had made that they feared to ex plode it lest they blown to pieces with the safe. Wano, Rankins and Anderson are the men known tri hnva dnnn Hin wnrlr at Sellwood, aud tho other man who aided tbem is either Kelly or another man who has not yet been captured.

She scalds It thoroughly after using, and gives It a sun bath to sweeten It. fche knows that if her churn is sour it will taint the butter that, is made In it. The stomach Is. a churn. In the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which aro almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put Into It? The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad taste In the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sonr and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimple, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers anil all humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

FOUR RAILRDADSCDNTRDL Commerce Commission Finds Trickery in Coal Dealings. OFFICIALS WERE GIVEN STOCK Recommends That Common Carriers Be Forbidden to Have Interests ' In Coal Property- . . Tho following renort ou the nonl situation iu the east as found bv the interstate commerce commission, ap plies to like conditions existing in the Pacifio coast and Northwest states: The interstate commerce coiuniiroinn has transmitted to concrete its first m- port on its investigation on discrimi nations and monotiolies n nil or tho -inint resolution of congress of Maroh 7, l'JOO, known as the Tillman-Gillestiie resolution. The report deals with bitumiuous ooal companies east of the Ohio and in territory bounded on tho south by Norfolk & aud Western Rail way, ou the north by Canada and on tho eati by the Atlantio seaboard. ibe roads involved are the Norfolk & Western, Chesapeak & Ohio, Balti more & Ohio, Pennsylvania, Buffalo, Roohester & Pittsburg, Booch Creek division of tho Now York Central & Hudson River; Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern, Buffalo & Susquehanna aud West Virginia Central and Pittsburg, now the Western Maryland. The report says all the above comp anies own, direotly or by stook owner ship iu other companies, large inter ests in coal mines. The report is prao tioally a summary of the information gleaned from the investigation thus far made, togotber with the presenta tion of facts pertinent to the general inquiry, aud makos recommendations for legislative action as follows: That OVerv common currier niirrnrl i in interstate transportation of coal be roquired to make publio tho system of oar distribution iu effect upon its rail way aud tho several divisions thereof. showing how the equipment tf or ooai service is divided betwoon the several divisious ot its road, and that the nnr- rier be required to publish ot stated poriods the system of oar distribution in effoot aud the actual distribution made to each mining operator. That where tho capacity of the mines is tho basis for the distribution of equip-' meut, a fair, just and eauabla rutins of the mines be required. Ihat after reasonable time carriers engaged in interstate commoroe be prohibited from using "Individual" or "Private" oars for handling of ooal traffic. That carriers engaged iu interstate commerce bo forbidden after reason able time to own or have interest, di rectly or indirectly, in any operated coal property, except such as are ex clusively for their own fuel supply, and that ownership by offioors or em ployes of common carriers of any ooal properties or stock be forbidden. A summary is given showing the interest of railroad officials in corporations or companies operating commercial miues or engaged iu coal traffic Ownership of stock in coal com panies by offioors and employes of the Pennsylvania RailronVI, the report says has created a serious and dangerous condition on the liue of this company. The policy of permitting officials aud employes of railroad companies to hold investments in ooal companies furnishing trafflo to tho railroad is, in tho opinion of the commission, a mis taken policy and responsible for favor itism. In any event it subjoots such s officials and employes to criticism and suspicion. Stook in coal companies was given outright, says the roport, to certain officers nnd employes of tho Ponnsyl vauia Railroad. Cured of Long Trouble..
