The boldest and most successful bank robbery ever reported in the West was per- petrated upon the First National Bank at Denver, Col., on Thursday afternoon of last week. Wednesday morning a well dressed man with a light moustache and complexion, and of medium height, walked into the bank and asked where he oould see Mr. Moffatt, president of the bank. He was told he oould see Mr. Moffatt, who 1_ also president of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, at the president's office in the Cheeseman Block. Next morning the stranger entered the railway offioe and ask- ed to see Mr. Moffatt on important busi- ness. He was admitted to his private room and stated that he had discovered a con- spiracy whereby the bank was to be rob- bad of a large sum. Mr. Moffatt, being very busy, asked the man TO MEET HIM AT HIS PBIVATE OFTICK in the bank at one o'clock. A few minutes after the hour appointed he called at the bank and was shown into the president's office. Remaining standing he enquired if Oasbier S. N. Wood was in and was told that he was at lunch. He then asked for a blank cheque for the purpose of showing how the rubbery was to be perpetrated. He laid the cheque upon the desk in front of Mr. Moffatt, and said "I will have to do tbis myself," and pulling out a large re- olver placed it at Mr. Moffatt's head, and in an earnest but unexpected manner said, I want $21,000 and am going to have it I have considered this matter and the ohanoes I am running and the conse- quences if I fail and am arrested. I am penniless and a desperate man, and have been driven during the past week to that point where I have considered suicide as the only means of escape from the poverty and misery Of which I exist. You have millions. I am determined to have what I have asked for. If you make a noise, call a man or ring a bell, I WILL BLOW YOTTB BBAIN8 OUT and then blow up the building and myself with this bottle of glycerine (which he at the moment pulled out of another pocket). Now take vourchoioe." Mr. Moffatt started to argue with the nMHvbat he was with the information that it was and he had but two minutes in wht , fill out the cheque before him for $21,1 if he desired to live. Mr. Moffatt, seeing no other alternative, filled out the cheque and was ordered to take it to the paying teller and get it cashed. Mr. Moffatt left his office, and with the man behind him, with the revolver partially concealed under his overcoat and with the muzzle almost against Mr. Moffatt's baok, marohed behind the counter up to Paying Teller Keeley with the request that the oheqne be imme- diately oaahed. They then re marched into Mr. Moffatt's office WITHOUT ATTBACTING ANY ATTENTION of the fifteen or twenty olerks who were at work within two feet of where they passed. After they had remained in the private office three or four minutes, the robber informed Mr. Moffatt that they were wast- ing time, and that he had better step to the door and motion his teller to bring the money into his office, and as the teller turned to go away the robber told bim he wanted twenty $1,000 bills and a thousand dollars in gold. The money was brought in and handed to the robber, who waiting until the teller had reached his desk, backed out to the front door, making Mr. Moffatt remain standing in his door until he had reached the curbstone. " NO CLUE. He then raised his hat and walked around the corner, and has not yet been heard of. Mr. Moffatt is completely prostrated with the shook. Detectives are out after the man, but no trace of him has been found. HEAVY BEWABD OITEBED. A reward of $5,000 has been offered for the capture of the robber. The bottle of "nitro-glycerine" has been found in the bank and proves to be castor oil. MURAT HALSTEAD, Of Ohio.

Thp CoHectorshlp. From the Malone Palladium. Petitions are in circulation throughout s customs district, praying that Gen. Stephen Moffltt, of Pittsburgh, be ap- pointed collector. While hundreds of other worthy men would like the place a ad are deserving of political recognition, it is a striking illustration of General Mof- fitt'a popularity, of the political strength he exerts, aud of the merit attaching to his former administration of the office, that no one appears as a oondidate against him. His appointment may therefore be set down as one of the certainties of the fu- ture, and ail who know of his familiarity with the requirements of the customs ser- vice and have studied his qniet efficiency in every place of trust he has ever held, will need no assurance that the office oould not be oommitted to worthier bands. Republicans will not esteem the selection less because It will assure to the benefit of their party a shrewd management of the position, so far as suoh management is proper in any official station, and that one of the truest, most zealous and active of Republicans in Northern New York is to enjoy this honor. Gen. Moffilt's record as a soldier and the sacrifice on the battle field which made him a oripple for life are also in his favor and add to the strength of his candidacy.

Three bottles of Brown's Sarsaparilla completely cured aim, and now Judge Wing speaks in the highest praise of Brown's Sarsaparilla. The long sought remedy for Spring lassitude has been found. Entirely free from the noxious alcohols, it is compounded of these Ingredients which extended medical experience has proven to be the most potential in their effect upon the kidneys, liver and blood, and. unlifce the common "spring medicines" with which the market is flooded, its effect is not only immediate, but en- during. No stronger evidence to this effect could be offered than the voluntary testimony to its virtues of men of the character and position of those wnose names appear wltn their willing permission through all our works.

A Daring Deed.

A Bank President Compelled to HandOver i hon»and« of Dollara in BroadDay liiKbt.

A MOST SINGUXA.B STOBY.

The boldest and most successful bankrobbery ever reported in the West was per-petrated upon the First National Bank atDenver, Col., on Thursday afternoon oflast week. Wednesday morning a welldressed man with a light moustache andcomplexion, and of medium height, walkedinto the bank and asked where he oouldsee Mr. Moffatt, president of the bank.He was told he oould see Mr. Moffatt, who1_ also president of the Denver & RioGrande Railway, at the president's office inthe Cheeseman Block. Next morning thestranger entered the railway offioe and ask-ed to see Mr. Moffatt on important busi-ness. He was admitted to his private roomand stated that he had discovered a con-spiracy whereby the bank was to be rob-bad of a large sum. Mr. Moffatt, beingvery busy, asked the man

TO MEET HIM AT HIS PBIVATE OFTICK

in the bank at one o'clock. A few minutesafter the hour appointed he called at thebank and was shown into the president'soffice. Remaining standing he enquired ifOasbier S. N. Wood was in and was toldthat he was at lunch. He then asked for ablank cheque for the purpose of showinghow the rubbery was to be perpetrated.He laid the cheque upon the desk in frontof Mr. Moffatt, and said "I will have to dotbis myself," and pulling out a large re-

olver placed it at Mr. Moffatt's head, andin an earnest but unexpected manner said,

I want $21,000 and am going to have itI have considered this matter and theohanoes I am running and the conse-quences if I fail and am arrested. I ampenniless and a desperate man, and havebeen driven during the past week to thatpoint where I have considered suicide asthe only means of escape from the povertyand misery Of which I exist. You havemillions. I am determined to have what Ihave asked for. If you make a noise, calla man or ring a bell,

I WILL BLOW YOTTB BBAIN8 OUTand then blow up the building and myselfwith this bottle of glycerine (which he atthe moment pulled out of another pocket).Now take vourchoioe." Mr. Moffatt startedto argue with the nMHvbat he waswith the information that it wasand he had but two minutes in wht ,fill out the cheque before him for $21,1if he desired to live. Mr. Moffatt, seeingno other alternative, filled out the chequeand was ordered to take it to the payingteller and get it cashed. Mr. Moffatt lefthis office, and with the man behind him,with the revolver partially concealed underhis overcoat and with the muzzle almostagainst Mr. Moffatt's baok, marohed behindthe counter up to Paying Teller Keeleywith the request that the oheqne be imme-diately oaahed. They then re marched intoMr. Moffatt's office

WITHOUT ATTBACTING ANY ATTENTION

of the fifteen or twenty olerks who were atwork within two feet of where they passed.After they had remained in the privateoffice three or four minutes, the robberinformed Mr. Moffatt that they were wast-ing time, and that he had better step tothe door and motion his teller to bring themoney into his office, and as the tellerturned to go away the robber told bim hewanted twenty $1,000 bills and a thousanddollars in gold. The money was broughtin and handed to the robber, who waitinguntil the teller had reached his desk,backed out to the front door, making Mr.Moffatt remain standing in his door untilhe had reached the curbstone. "

NO CLUE.

He then raised his hat and walked aroundthe corner, and has not yet been heard of.Mr. Moffatt is completely prostrated withthe shook. Detectives are out after theman, but no trace of him has been found.

HEAVY BEWABD OITEBED.

A reward of $5,000 has been offered forthe capture of the robber. The bottle of"nitro-glycerine" has been found in thebank and proves to be castor oil.

Thp CoHectorshlp.From the Malone Palladium.

Petitions are in circulation throughouts customs district, praying that Gen.

Stephen Moffltt, of Pittsburgh, be ap-pointed collector. While hundreds ofother worthy men would like the placea ad are deserving of political recognition,it is a striking illustration of General Mof-fitt'a popularity, of the political strengthhe exerts, aud of the merit attaching tohis former administration of the office, thatno one appears as a oondidate against him.His appointment may therefore be setdown as one of the certainties of the fu-ture, and ail who know of his familiaritywith the requirements of the customs ser-vice and have studied his qniet efficiencyin every place of trust he has ever held,will need no assurance that the office oouldnot be oommitted to worthier bands.Republicans will not esteem the selectionless because It will assure to the benefit oftheir party a shrewd management of theposition, so far as suoh management isproper in any official station, and that oneof the truest, most zealous and active ofRepublicans in Northern New York is toenjoy this honor. Gen. Moffilt's record asa soldier and the sacrifice on the battlefield which made him a oripple for lifeare also in his favor and add to thestrength of his candidacy.

Judge Geo. C. Wing,of Auburn, one of Maine's prominent lawyers,and for several years the Chairman of the Repub-lican State Committee, was troubled with bollson the back of Ms nectc in their worst form, re-sembling carbuncles. Three bottles of Brown'sSarsaparilla completely cured aim, and nowJudge Wing speaks in the highest praise ofBrown's Sarsaparilla.

The long sought remedy for Spring lassitudehas been found. Entirely free from the noxiousalcohols, it is compounded of these Ingredientswhich extended medical experience has provento be the most potential in their effect upon thekidneys, liver and blood, and. unlifce the common"spring medicines" with which the market isflooded, its effect is not only immediate, but en-during. No stronger evidence to this effect couldbe offered than the voluntary testimony to itsvirtues of men of the character and position ofthose wnose names appear wltn their willingpermission through all our works. Men, womenand children alike can take it with safety, andfor ladies who are peculiarly susceptible to thattired feeling at this season of the year we advisethe use of

GENTLEMEN,—We are all

ready now to show you one

of the finest lines of Spring

Suiting, Overcoats and Trow-

sering to be seen north of

Troy or Albany. Stop,—we

think we can call up Troy and

see Albany on styles, quality

and fit, and distance them on

prices. Gentlemen, if you

think this is a rash assertion,

call and look us over. We

would gladly like the chance

to show you what we haye

before you give your orders

for your Spring outfit.

The remainder of this month

and for the month of March

our drive in our Beady-made-

department will be on Troup-

ers. We have a large assort-

ment for you to select from*

If you measure 48 waist, we

can fit you. If you take a 3£

or 36 in. seam, we have it lor

you.

Call and see us. At home

day excepted.
