The Oakland and San Francisco lodges of the American Railway Union decline to consider the strike off and announce they will stand firm. This course was determined by unanimous vote at special meetings held last night. Members of these branches of the union contend that President Debs cannot call the strike off without the consent of two-thirds of the local unions. They deny that there are any defections in their ranks and sy that the action of Sicramento strikers in capitulating was i''i!Sf.! by the weakening of only a few rr.f rnbrs. Superintendent Fillmore was asked if there was anything to be added to tuo notice received bv nim from the American Railway Union committee declurinr th strike off. "Nothing." he replied, "except to emphasize the fact that the surrender is unconditional. We have made no promises and " ill t?.ke baek only such men as we have places for and whose services we are vil!l-r to accent. I dj not know as there i' anything more I can av on the subject.

However, they all admit that lie has taken the wisest means to harmonize the party In this district, and should Judge Johnston, who was nominated at the "rump" convention, held here last Tuesday, take the same course it will no doubt leave the party In such shape a? will Insure the election of a Republican at the coming fall election.

ROYAL WILD WESTERN TOWN I1LOODY AVOIIK OF THK EARY MARSHALS OF CALDWELL, KAX. Ilendqiiartern for 'Killer Fonrlceit Yearn .ko, and the MnrMlial Wan Isually the Worst of the Lot. Wichita (Kan.) Letter in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. When George Flapp became marshal of Caldwell, Kan., in 1880, Caldwell was the king bee of tough towns. Abilene and Dodge City had had their day. "Wild Bill" had civilized Abilene with a cut-off shotgun, and "Bat" Masterson was engaged In ruling Dodge City with a pair of heavy sixshooters. Caldwell, being on the Indian Territory border, was headquarters for Dave Payne's Oklahoma boomers, the Cherokee Strip and Texas cattlemen and cowboys, as well as a paradise for bad men with killing records, and the Mecca of gamblers. Unless a man carried an arsenal, swore like a pirate and gambled like a fiend, he was not in good standing in society, and either left or some one "planted" him out in the graveyard on the hill. For a long time the "killers" ran the town, and no marshal could be kept alive or in the city long enough to preserve order. Then George Flapp turned up. His chief and only recommendation was his nerve, lie was known as a bad man. He had a handsome wife, who doted on his manly beauty and devilish courage. To show the people that ne proposed to run tho, town on border principles, Flapp at one started In for a rein of terror. This he brought about by killing three cowboys one day and two Indians the next. Then he "lined up" the Mayor of the town and made him eat crow. That settled it, and the toughs gave him a wide berth. A plot was fixed up to get rid of a man they could not control, and one dark, rainy night some one let loose a charge of buckshot, which struck the marshal in the back. He dragged himself up against a building, pulled his six-shooters, and was discovered dead with a gun in either hand. . , Mrs. Flapp sent to Chicago for a Pinkerton detective, and offered a large reward for the apprehension of her husband's murderer, but to this day the killing is a mystery Frank Hunt, Flapp's deputy, took th3 vacant place. Hunt lacked the nerve his chief possessed, but was on the bad man order. One night he went to the Texas House to a dance. Filling up on liquor, he went inside and sat down near a window to cool off. Suddenly the lights went out, some one shot a hole through Hunt's head, and once more Caldwell was without a policeman. The ball went on, and Hunt was planter the next day with proper and becoming ceremonies, half the town getting drunk, and the next morning three men were discovered dead in one saloon. "Bat" Carr succeeded Hunt, but did not succeed in making much of a mark, although he did escape with his life. He was a handsome gambler, but lacked the requisite nerve to run such a town as that. The Mayor and City Council were powerless once more. Crime ran riot, and murderers boldly proclaimed their bloodthirsty deeds on the highways and byways. The cemetery on the hill grew largzr and became more densely populated with the dead. A BAD MAN FROM THXAS. One day a Texan rode into town over the old Chisholm trail. II was a bronzed blonde, with a Winch ?ster, two six-shooters and a record as a fighter. He had been engaged In the John Chisholm war in Texas, and had been a partner of "Billy the Kid." His name was Henry Brown, and he was broke. He had heard that "Bat" Car wanted an assistant, and he hunted him out. "I hear you want a man to do a night shift on the police," he told Carr that day. lf you do, I'm your man." "We bury a marshal here every fortyeight hours," said the marshal, with a laufth at the crowd. "Still, if you don't object to that featura of the business, I guess you can have the place." "Sulta me to a dot." was the laconic reply, yshall I get to work right away?" Tne boys learned that a new man was rm duty, and prepared to have some fun at his expense. The next day the town turned out and buried two of the would-be jokers. Brown was proving a tough customer. A week wsnt by and a minstrel show struck town. Tney advertised to wear plug hats, and "Sandy Jim" and his crowd proposed to have some fun shooting holes tmojgh the tiles. The show manager heard this and decided to omit that part of the programme, but Brown also heard of this decision, and Insisted that the parade take place as advertised. He was so urgent, and his six-shooter so prominntly displayed, that the minstrel men were between the devil and the detp blue sra, and concluded to go ahead as they had first intended. "I'll take care of any one who shoots at jour hats," Brown hail said, and he kept his word. As the procession passed down the main street "Sandy Jim" was sitting on a store box. With a yelp of derision he pulled a gun and plugged a hole through a high hat. Before his comrades could imitate his example Brown was down on them. He got the drop on "Sandy." and made him throw away his gun.. Then he ordered him to run. There was nothing else to do, so "Sandy" started. Brown let him get almost out of rano, then quickly raised his gun and shot him through the head. By this time Brown's name wa. a terror on the border. He gave it out that "ISat" Carr was no man for marshal and orderei him to resign and leave. This Carr did. Then Brown took his place. He put on a chum named Den Wheeler as his assistant. The Council were compelled to indorse this h'.gh-handed outrage, and even brave Mike Meagher, the Mayor, was terrorized. Some time after this Srctted Tail, an inoffensive Ponco Indian chief, pave Brown some surly answer one day and the marshal fhot him o full of holes that there was barely enough of him left to bury. Ben Wheeler followed his chief's lead, and began to get a record on his own hook. Newton Boyce, a popular gambler, fell under the ban of their displasure. and was der the ban of their displeasure, and was was a cowardly murderer, and the marshal ordered him turned loose. As Boyce 1 left the city prison Brown appeared with

N all receipts for cooking requiring a leavening agent

ROYAL BAKING POWDER, because it is an absolutely pure cream of tartar powder and of 33 per certt. greater leavening strength than other powders, will give the best results. It will make the food lighter, sweeter, of finer flavor, and more wholesome.

BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW a gold-plated Winchester rifle in his hand. He opened fire on the defenseless gambler, and, before he stopped, pumped live bullets into his body. This was too much to overlook. Mike Meagher called the Council together, and they proceeded to depose King Brown. Wheeler informed the marshal of what was going on in the Council chamber, and accompanied Brown to the meetinsr. The two desperado officials took pos session of that body of men, compelled 1 them to rescind the order removing urown as marshal, and actually forced them to pass resolutions indorsing Brown's course and giving an order for a new Winchester ritie for him. This done, he let them adjourn and go home. JUDGE LYNCH TO THE RESCUE. Matters went from bad to worse until one day the marshal and his assistants rode out of town, saying they were going down Into the Strip after some outlaws. They stopped at a cow camp and two cowboys joined their party. The next morning all four rode into Medicine Lodge and up to the doors of the principal bank. The cashier had just opened the big safe door when Brown, Wheeler and Smith entered the room. Brown ordered him to, throw up his hands, but he refused and started towards the safe. The desperado put a ball through his heart, but the brave cashier crawled to the door, pushed It shut and threw on the combination before he died. Wheeler shot the president as he ran out of his office to see what the shooting was about. Then the four desperadoes shot their way out of town. Barney O'Connor, then, as now, a prominent cattle man, organized a party and chased the murderers into the Cedar canyon, where they were captured. They were taken back to Medicine Lodge that same afternoon and their photos were struck. That night a mob took them from jail, hung them up and shot them full of holes. Thus finished two of the worst criminal officers Kansas ever saw, and Barney O'Connor is still the owner pf the goldplated Winchester that the Caldwell Council voted to Brown. George Brown, a namesake of the desperado, but no blood relation, was next sworn in as Caldwell's peace preserver. Willis Metcalf was his assistant. One day Brown and Metcalf went up to a cowboy ranch to arrest three Texans. George Brown was shot through the head and killed and Metcalf was warned not to give any alarm for an hour on penalty of death. The murderers then went down to a hotel, got a drink and rode out of town. Fourteen years have made wonderful changes in the administration of the municipal affairs of Caldwell and In the character of Its inhabitants. The desperadoes vanished long ago, never tv return, and today there is nq more peaceful, nor, at the same time, more enterprising town In all the West than this, which was once the scene of so much bloodshed. HOOK TI1IBVES. Their Character and Method of Operation Hold Raxcals. New York Evening Post. It may be surprising to the general reader to be told that the operations of book thieves are so extensive that from 5 to 10 cents must be added to the price of every book sold from the stands in order to make up for these depredations. All sellers of books In cities suffer in this way, but of course the more exposed stands are a better field for the thieves' operations than the more orderly up-town stores. If "juveniles" are left without careful watching on a stand the boys will make away with CO per cent, of them. The older thief Is rarely past middle age. His appearance Is usually of the order described as "shabby genteel." He often has the scholastic air that we would expect in the charity student. Very frequently when he comes in he "wants nothing In particular; just to look around." If followed up and questioned he will say that he is trying to rind some rare books and quickly departs for other fields. These are a few only of the most dangerous class of depredators, men who are "up" in first editions and similar preciosa. One of this sort, if undetected, will weed out the most valuable books on a counter in an incredibly short time. Look out for the customer who Is very wise about rare books but seldom or never buys one, is a rule of the trade. Ordinarily, however, the standard books are taken, books that are worth 50 cents or $1 almost anywhere. Frequently book thieves work in pairs. One engages the dealer In literary discussion, while the other rifles the stock. Some carry a small carpetsack wdth a catch that will never stay fastened. In winter the professional book thief wears a tamala with voluminous folds or an ulster with many pockets. This is donned early in the fall and worn very late in the spring. Bock auction rooms and "popular" book stores suffer most through these thieves to the extent of several hundred dollars each annually. The first offer the attraction of many long tables full of choice material; the latter afford the security that is found in a crowd and a rush. For a long time a bottomless box used to be carried and carelessly laid down over some attractive book. One dealer who had been losing steadily at last detected this trick. As the nan was walking out with the box tightly clutched under his arm the proprietor seized it. A thkf was seen by a person on a second tjv across the way to call out a good-natured dealer in Ann street and price a rice sat of Dickens. To the reply he shook his head, as if to say "too high." No sooner had the dealer turned his back than the pirate gathered the whole set Into his arms and disappeared around the corner. McD , now of Albany, formerly of Broadway, had been suffering greatly. At Ust, when he detected the depredator, in his Scotch aneer he snatched up a royal 8vo and broke the scoundrel's lawbone. The thief was arrested ani punished besides. A rather young man holding a good iKisition in Brooklyn had been for somo time suspected bv a Fourth-avenue dealer. A boy was set to watcli him. and he was seen to s1;m books uii lr hlr vest. He paid for all th missing books, and professed great penitence, saying: "The devil tempted me; I can't imnyine why I did it." Another dealer In thl3 city related an amusirg experience. A thief caught in rhe net and arreted was walking by the kUceman's side, while the dealer walked behind carrying the stoler !ook to b ued as evidence at the :.i:ln. The crowd that came behind ml'to tk h!rn for the thief and the thief for tr.r complainant. Having a strong sers of humor, the dealer enjoyed the situation immensely, and especially th remarks upon his "villainous xpre?s.on." etc. One dealer was asked to buy a set of "Waverly" stolen from his own branch store fifteen minutes before. Another thief, until caught, did a thriving business between two large stores, stealing a book as he went ou from the one to sell it to the other.

YORK.

SAW A SHIP FOUNDER. Trying: Sceno, Witnessed by General Harrison Yesterday. NEW YORK, July 22. For two hourt this afternoon the summer visitors along the New Jersey coast. In the vicinity of Seabright, raced up and down the shor watching five men cling to the crosstreea of their vessel, which had just gone down. It was but twenty-five minutes from the time the hardy life savers put out from the beach on their errand of mercy until they had reached the wreck and the imperiled ailors. One after another wat taken from the rigging, but to the waitin thousands on -the beach and bluff it seemed as though hours had elapsed. The vessel was a two-masted schooner, the Robert H. Mitchell, of Baltimore, bound from New York to Norfolk. She carried 150 tons of salt in bulk. She had sprung a leak, and was rapidly Fettling when a distress signal was hoisted and the captain and crew climbed into the rigging, wher they clung until rescued. Among the excited spectators on shore was ex-President Harrison. A PERPLEXED GIHL. How h. Yonng Woman Should Act in ii Given Emergency. Philadelphia Inquirer. A young woman who Is evidently Forely perplexed, and therefore to be pitied, has written a letter to a New York newspaper. In which she wants to know how a woman, can succeed In seeming natural and pleasant when one of her old rejected lovers comes to her with the announcement that he is just engaged to the dearest, loveliest woman on earth. "Of course." she says, "one doesn't wish to marry him one's pelf, but somehow the announcement causes one's smile to become perfectly set and unnatural and one's congratulatory remarks to be uttered in a high, strained voice." There is a charming inconsistency about this letter which shows that it could not have been written by anybody but a woman. First, she has thrown away the offer of a loving heart; and then, when that heart has found solace and yearn3 to tell of it, she finds it necessary to speak In a high, strained voice and wear a set, unnatural smile. She acknowledges that she does not wish to marry her rejected suitor, and yet she acts as If. the green-eyed monster was tugging at her heart strings. How noble it would have been of her to say, "I rejoice to think that you have at last found soma one worthy of you. Do you not see now that I knew what you needed better than vou did yourself?" And all this, not in a high, strained voice, but In tones so soft and low that it would seem as If nothing could live twlxt them and silence. But no doubt some of our women readers will argue that all the old lover meant by telling his story was to crow over the woman who had rejected him. If this be so, then it would have been easier for th'.? young woman to make him supremely uncomfortable by her congratulations. All that is necessary for a girl to do in such a case is simply to say, "Why, I'm so glad Julia has found somebody at last." or "Well, you'll have good care taken of you; Julia's considerably older than you;" or "1 hope she'll make you a good wife." Such remarks need not be made in a hiRh. strained voice; pitched in any key, they will strike home, and it will be the young man's turn to smile a smile, not merely set and unnatural, but as sickly as that of Abner Dean, of Angels, when he curled up on the floor and the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.
