lull confession. His name is Jim
Flynn. IIo is a farmer, and lived in
the vicinity of Blue cut for 15 years
Flynn implicated Engineer Kennedy,
who is under arrest, and another man,
who doubtless will soon be captured.
Flynn's confession tells in minute
detail tells how the hold-up of the
trains in Blue cut- were planned with
Kennedy. It gives -the names of all
the men in the affairs; tells how the
money was divided jand where the
Jewelry was burled near the scene of

Alton hold-up.The prisoner is a young
farmer named George Bowlin. He is
reported to have made a confession,

sion of Flynn, implicating John F.
Kenedy as the leader of the band, and
others who are still at large.
Germans Aroused.'
Berlin, Jan. 4. (Copyright,1807, by
Associated Press.) The news received
here from Paris that the French
council of war had ordered a large in
crease in the cadres of the army, by
which 145 new battalions of infantry
will be created, has thoroughly
aroused public opinion here, especially
In view of the announcement that the
French artillery Is already partly
rearmed with quick-tiring guns.
France, under the new system, will
have 105 more battalions on a peace
footing than Germany, and the Ger
man millitary authorities now intend
to hasten the equipment of the army
vlth new Krupp quick-firing guns at
an expense of 200,000,000 marks.
The German navy is being rapidly
provided with the same type of gun,
not only on new vessels, but on board
the older vessels. At the same time,
a skillfully managed agitation has be
gun, doubtless prompted by the gov
ernment, for a further increase in the
peace cadres, so as to catch up with
uic jrencii. xne campaign was
started by the semi-official Cologn Ga
zette and the Hamburger Correspond
ent. The latter expresses regret that
the army increases in Germany and
France are like an endless screw, and
maintains that it cannot be helepd,
although to Germany, with her 52,-
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 5. As a di
rect result of the closing of the Bank
of Minnesota, two weeks ago, which
created a new distrust among de
positars and started runs on a number
of city banks that were reputed not
to be as strong as depositors wished,
the St Paul Bank, the Germanla, the
Alletnania and the West Side, none
of them national instutlons, all closely
associated, closed their doors Monday
one being in the hands of the state
bank examiner, and the others mak
ing assignments. During the time
that had intervened since the closing
of the Bank of Minesotst the Ger
mania paid out $225,003 to frl tened
depositors and the directors
coucluded they would stop "the
draw and make an assignment to the
cashier Peter M. Kerst.
The Allemanla bank which, like the
Germanla, had a large clientage
among Germans, and whose vice-president
had formerly been president of
the Germanla, then became the target
for a lively run. The people crowded
about the doors and lalrly fought for
a place in the line before the paying
teller's window. The bank officials
realized fully what such a run meant
and promptly called on Bank Ex
aminer Kenyon to take possession of
the bank, and that official is now in
charge.
The West yide bank, a small but
possibly stronger bank, cleared
through the Allemanla and its
clearings were returned by the latter
Institution. Following this there
was a decided run inaugurated on the
bank, and at 5 o'clock this afternoon
the bank officials closed the doors and
called a meeting of the directors to
decide what action to take. Their
decision was made 'apparent late in
the afternoon when they filed a deed
of assignment to Cashier Staples and
the president of the bank. Consider
able public money is tied up In the
three institutions.
Prominent Rpttlander Dead.
Portland, Jap. fi. C. B. Lewis,
the best-known lpr Portland's mer
chants, passed peacefully awny at 2:47
this morning, after an illness of two
days, from paraiysls. He was sur
rounded by his family at his death,
but was unconscious to the last.
E. Lewis was stricken with paral
ysis Saturday aftoroon while on his
way to business. He was Immediately
taken to his home and given all the
asslstanco medical skill oould provide,
but gradually sank and lingered until
his death. Ills wonderful vitality
was all that held death atu ay so long.
The paralysis at first extended only
over one side, and Dr. Holt C. Wilson,
hi nephew and physlcan, hoped that
the stroke might bo only temporary.
But paralysis at Mr, Lewis, advanced
years almost 'invariably proves fatal,
and the case of Portland's greatest
merchant proved p6 exception to the
rule.
As he lay at his home gradually
sinking he was surrounded by his
family, and his Many frieuds called
at the house almost hourly to learn of
his condition. Drf Wilson was con
tinually at his bedgide, ministering to
his every need, but his skill was un
availing, and Mr. Lewis llnally
passed peacefully away, unconscious
almost from the first.

Bramlett, aged 80 years, died January
2. nc owned several plantations in
Harrison county, and had been a pros
perous man all his life. At a low
estimate he was worth $100,000. Ho
was peculiar In nothing but Ideas of
his own burial. He was u great reader
and perhaps drew his notions of his
own interment from 'the histories of
ancient Egypt.
About fifteen years ago he hired a
stone mason to make him a sarcopha
gus of blue Kentucky limestone,
which Is more durable than the hard
est marble. At tne same time he
bought a barrel of the best old Bour

ordered that at his death the whiskey

It was placed in the stone coffin. The
sarcophagus was then to bo hermet

All his directions have been followed

body in its heavy receptacle.

the makers of laws should be more
than willing to comply with them.

No one will blame the Salem States
man for postponing prosperity now
until after March 4, 1897.
In view of the increasing bank-and
business failures since election it
can't do anyhlng else.
It Is time tills "prosperity" swindle
wa3 put under ground as a political
dodge.
There aro only three ways to pro
duce prosperity.
1. Raise big crops and sell them at
good prices.
2. Make more money.
3. Make more employment.
If our government would coin up
all the gold and silver on equal terms,
and stop Its "gold monopoly finance"
the syndicate times would get
better.
But high taxes, high interest' high
tariffs and hard times for tho aristo
crats will not make times better.
