That contributions have been mndo to tho Hopublican committee- as contrib tions have been mado to tho Demo cratic committeo is not tho question at issue. Mr. Parker's assertion is, in ef fect, that such contributions have been mado for improper motives, cither in conscquoiico of threats, or in conso quenco of impropor promises, direct or indirect, on tho part of tho recipients. Mr. Parker knows best whether this is truo of tho contributions to his cam paign fund, which hnvo como through his trusted friends and advisers who represent tho great corporato interests that stand behind him. But thero is not ono particlo of truth in tho state ment ns regards anything that has gone on in tho management of tho Republi can campaign.

Thev first poured nitro-clycerlno nround tho bank door nnd twisted it into a shnpeless mass. Between this door nnd tho safe door proper the smnll change tray was kopt, and this is tho only money they secured. They followed tho snmo tnctlcs on tho safe door. but. despite their work, they wero unnblo to removo tho door, and could not reach tho main treasury of tho bank. Tho sato contained up wards of $15,000 in cash, together with n largo amount of valuable securities. Tho burglary wns perpetrated be tween midnight nnd 4 o'clock, nnd wns a daring piceo of work. It wns prob ably committed by old-timors nnd per sons well acquainted with tho town. Two strnngers who hnvo been nround town for boveral days aro suspected of tho crime, but tho oflleoM are unable to fully conuect them with it. They left town on tho Friday afternoon mo- tor for Independence, nnd they have disappeared from that place. After tho robbery tho men secured n team belonging to tho grocery firm of Bidwell & C'raen nnd drovo out of town. Ono of tho suspects is described as nbout S feet, 10 inches tnll, and the other about two inches shorter, uotn being heavy sot nnd burly looking chnractcrs.
