At about 4 o’clock fVwsdajr afternoon
Iks residents of Pawnee were etartled by
A svooeoeion of shots which weae found
to have come from the deadly guns of
the notorious Dalton gang, or better
known as the Dolan and Dalton combi-
nation.
Upon the henring of the shots citizens
of all classes left their varioue occupa-
tions and ran ]wll-mell across the public
Aquore to whero the Farmers end CitJ-
Ban’s Bank is located. Here they found
everything confusion. As a reporter for
this pai<er arrived u]ion the scene three
horsemen were seen crossing tho Black
Bear, riding in ainglo til s the Inst horse
marrying t vo riders, the hindormoet of
trhom proved to be C. L. Berry, cashier
«f the bank.
The raid, an account of which follows,
Bras purely charietic of the Dalton gang.
Upon entering town they rode straight
way to the Furmere and Citizens Bank
on 5th street, where they dismounted,
leaving one of thoir number to hold the
horses while the other two robbers en-
tered the bank snd covered Cashier
Berry with their six-shooters and com
manded him to throw up his hands.
All their efforts to open the euf* prov-
ed futile, as it had some few miuuter
before been locked with a time look, but
they sueoeeded in relieving the drawtr
ofhMI 1100 in cash.
Thore being no chance for further
booty and supposedly fearing detection
the outlaws, taking Cashier Berry by
foroe, placed him upon ono of their
horses behind its .'rider and iook the
north road out of town across the Black
Bear, Mr. Berry nnd his companion
bringing up the rear: the former being
used assraiield^hy the banditH, who
were ridiug in single Hie. A general
fuaealladeof Lull ts poured from the
funs of the bandits as they rode out of
town uutil they crossed the river. At
this juncture the bandits, with whom
Gasbeir Berry was riding proceeded, re-
gardless of the headlong speed his ani-
mal was maintaining, to part ^company
with Mr. Berry by gracefully dropping
him in the brush beside tt s road.
Great excitement prevailed among our
residents the remnindor of the afternoon
and large detachments of men volun-
teered to pursue the robbers. But by
the time a pursuing party could be got
ten together those pursued had made
good use of the space of time gained by
giving their horses a chance to show
Ibetr metal,* aad several miles were
placed between pursuers and pursued by
theMwie dark neve aet in.
As the shades of night ’seme on tho
wan face of the festive volunteer pur-
suer with crestfallen spirits and a raven-
ous appetite for supper, could be seen
as he wended his weary way homeward,
probably having came to the conclusion
that hunting Daltons after ntght was
not the best occupation it*the world.
It is the general supposition that Bill
Dolan aml_UUl Da1*-b were eooretod
across tho Black Bear in position to
guard the retreat of the three despera-
does. Theie raids are not entered into
by the partiuijianto with their eyes
closed, but ou the other baud these

The writer points out that our pleas-

rather, that two elements combine to
form all our pleasure, namely, the sub-
jective and objective. By the subjec-

be called his capacity to obtain pleasure
from the objects around him. By the
objective element ie meant that which

ment is what the economist knows ns

ing under the first category goods which
have the power to satisfy the conditions
of continued existence, or an existence

there having tho power to give actual
pleasure, which are placed in the second
category.
Many goods combine both positive
and absolute utility. The things we eat
n*>t only sustain life, but afford ue pleas-
ure besides. Again, many goods, as
painting, music, or sculptures, have no
absolute but often grout positive Utility.
On the other hand, some goods, like
medicine, not only lack positive utility

read the history of their pest crimes,
must of i • xnsity be desperate men. The
life of a bandit is as dear to him as that
of an honest, law abiding citizen. Their

life. They are not one but many, and
for a man whose time i* d«*<oted iv. ligiti-

take them only because, by improving
uur health they render ue capable of
enjoying other goods which havo posi-
tive utilities. If all that life could offer
us were absolute utilities—the stilling
of the pains of hunger, of cold or of
thirst -except as a hard apprenticeship
foi^a hereafter, life would not be xrorth
living. Man cjasames absolute utili-
ties, sometimes spending all or nearly
all of bis time in tneir production, be-
cause they doorcase the pains of a life
which, with its pains thus decreased,
shows a surplus on the side of pleasure.
Nature gives much pleasure to man
spontaneously. Swch pleasure comes
from what we may call the free goods of
nature, such as tho wild flowers of spring
or the colon* of our American nutun n,
or the waters of 6ome summer brook.
But the majority of goods, except in the
tint stages of civilization, are created us
a result of the labor of man, and labor,
not alwavs, but usually, involves either
pain or sacrifice. It is tho surplus of
pleasure which is desirable, nnd deter
mines the prosperity of a nation. It is
only when e people have increased this
surplus that we can say their prosperity
ir inCreas *3. The savare,basking in the
■un ot a tropical clmutc, has not, per-
haps, in hie life nearly as much pain as
the average man of civilized society, und
yet, who would question that tho aver-
age happiness of the latter ie not greater l
There are three Ways by which a eocv
ety cal increase Its surplus, that is, tte
preponderance of pleasure over pain.
First, by increasing the intelligence and
skill of its members, so thut they can
more easily, that is, with less pain, pro-
duce the goods containing for them the
absolute and j<ositive utilities which
they draife. Secondly, they ran im-
of production.
