Under the administration of that law the poorhoiiso gave up its veterans. The men who had * berne the battle were cared for and the sacred trust accepted and left as a legacy to the nation was faithfully administered. Within a few months wo hear wltli pro found sorrow and"regret that ulLithis must bo changed ; that tbo construction of the law has been changed and the regulations nnd rules In reference to proof and ratings , under which more than aoo.OOO claims have been allowed and paid , have boon revoked , and another construction of.ttla.law baa been established and now regulations for proof and ratings , less fnvorublo. to claimants , have been adopted ; that a board .of revision has been organized in thd 'pension ofllce , charged with the duty of ravlslnull.thoso adjudicated claims in accordapco" with this now construction and auch changed regula tions as to proof and ratings. Under the changes thousands of pensions have been suspended without notice and thousands of pensioners have been dropped from the rolls. "To emphasize the viciousncss of the situation and accusation , wo Ica'rn that it is said , ns tnough by authority , that 'It is ex pected that any of the pensioners so sum marily suspended or dropped will bo able to prove that they are still entitled to the pen sions of which they have Been deprived,1 thus saying in no uncertain voice that the burden Is not upon the party alleging.fraud , but that the government which they had preserved shall first , and with Infamy by the- charge , then sentence , and after the stigma hud been effective , then concede to them , whoso barriers and support of char acter have been thus undermined , the piti ful privilege of moving forA a now trial upon tbo ground of uovvlvndi3cqvered bvidonco , Unnlcg thn .Secretary's Authority. "Wo deny that the secretary of the interior and commissioner of pensions have any such power. We insist that the adjudication di visions of the pensions oflico , acting under the direction and supervision of the commis sioner of pensions and secretary of the In terior , are tribunals established by authority oC law for the settlement of pension claims , and that their decisions are entitled to 'full faith and credit nnd cannot be locally im peached when u change -administration occurs , except , for fraud , upon charges pre ferred and evidence adduced In support thereof. We Insist that when changes nro made in the construction of the law , rules of evidence and schedules of rating unfavorable to claimants they must and should bo lim ited In their operation to the future work of the oflico and not the past. < "We demand that there sha'llbo no back ward step in pension legislation or'adinin- istration ; that no pensioner ahull bo de prived of his property without duo process of the law ; that the presumption shall ho In favor of honesty and lair dealing ; that the poor and lowly shall not bo put to unneces sary , expensive or oppressive'"processes to protect their meager inheritances ; that the sacred trust of these who have berne the buttlo shall bo sacredly observed and sacredly administered , and1 Wo 'do now solelmly nnd deliberately declare that every presumption should bo made In favor of recouds so muda ; that no presumption of fraud shall bo Indulged against tllom , and that no change bo made in the pensions so accorded until after charges huvo been made and evidence in support thereof has bcon produced , of which charge each pensioner has had full notice nnd a full and complete opportunity ( o bo heard in support of the pension so accorded him ; bo it further ' "Uosolvcd , That as the commissioner of pensioDS/by his recent withdrawals of ob noxious rulliiKs which have ' , been'so Rmier- ally condemned , has virtually acknowledged the incorrectness of such rulings , wo deem it his further duty to at once restore to the rolls the thousands of pensioners how stand ing Illegally suspended.

Tno robbery was planned on the lines of -hoso that have been so successful in Ivnnsas .owns , particularly nt Coffoyvlllo , where the -Xiltons secured so mush lunnoy last year , t'ho belief is that tlio bandits , If not iiicin- ) crs of that pang , have , nt least , been Iden tified in other robberies of ti simitar nature. Killoil thu Cnslilor. Thu bank opened for business ni usual nt 10 o'clock this morning. At 10:30 : three mounted men rode up to tlm door of the Dank and , entering quickly , rushed up to A. V. Hlachly , cashier , presented guns and do- niumtcd what money ho had. The cashier refused to give It up. The robbers then made a grab through the window , secured ? . ' > 00 and opened llro. Th o cashier fell , being Instantly killed. The robbers then fired nt H. II.VooIbcrt , assistant cashier , but missed him. J.'ho shooting attracted the attention of the citizens and Hay Simpson , u lending hardware merchant and a dead shot , run for his Winchester niul started for the alley In the roar of the bank where the robbers had tied tll"'r ' horses. The robbers had started out of town when Mr. Simpson got there , but ho succeeded In killing two of them by shooting them through the head. A third shot killed ono of the robber's horses nnd to gether the man and animal fell to the ground. After killing two of the robbers Mr. Simp son continued after the third ono , taking several shots nt him , but without effect. Mr. Simpson then returned to thu town , and , getting together a posse , started at once In pursuit. Olmstni ; ilio KcuinliilitK Iliihber. The robbur Is thought to have about n mlle start and is mounted on a line horse , going In the direction of the mountain' . T ; , the out law Is acquainted with the country there is u chance of his escape , otherwise the possO' will capture him dead orallvo. In the latter case ho will undoubtedly bo lynchetfon his return hero. The two dead , robbers were also well mounted and the horse that was not killed was caught by the citizens. Four hundred dollars was recovered from their persons , the escaping robber carrying away the other 5100. 5100.The The suspicion that the men Implicated in the robbery are remnants of the famous Dal ton gang seems to bq general. They nro not known hero and their idcntltlcation bus not yet bocn secured. The do.ul bandits are both young men of fair complexion nnd ono of them strikingly handsome. The coroner has taken their remains in charge. Mr. Blauhl.y , the dead cashier , was un old resident of this pluco and leaves u wife and a large family of young children , fie oldest being probably 15 years of ago. Ho uud n Mr. Baldwin owned the bank. Delta is the county seat of Delta county nnd has a population of DUO. Iilautlty ut tlio'Oniif. ) , . The robbers were seen In town lust night where they took supper and breakfast at the Central house. They were observed H few moments bpforo the robbery today en joying the contents of a pint of whisky.

Ono of the men killed is about -II ) years of ugo , standing llvo feet ten inches in height , bus gray eyes , dard red curly hair and brown mustache.

Up to 10 o'clock tonight no word has been received from the pursuing party. It is led by Simpson , the man who u good aim laid low two of the robbers.
