The Bank Robbers.

1t has always been mystery to the
public, says Missouri paper, why the
James and Younger toys went to Min
nesota to rob small bank in that dis
tant State. The following, received
from a resident of Liberty, Clay county,
will throw some light on the subject:
At the time OF the detectives raid on
the home of the James boys, near Kear-
ney, when a hand grenade was thrown
into the house and little boy killed,
Mrs. Samuel's arm blown off, and others
injured, there was living in Liberty an
attorney named Hardwick, who acted as
counsel for the persons who performed
this cowardly act. He declares that he
supposed legal, peaceable arrest to be
made, and that if he lad known the
course to be pursued he would have had
nothing to do with it. After the tragedy
and the failure to arrest the boys, Jesse
Jaies learned Of Hardwick's connection
with the affair. He at once set about to
avenge his brothers death and the inju-
ries to his mother. Hardwick removed
from his farm to town, and always car
rled arms, expecting to be shot down at
any moment. Dozens of letters were
sent him by Jesse, threatening his life,
and notifying him to leave the country.
At last the lawyer decided to go, and he
went to st. Paul, MINI. The recent
facts show that Jesse James and his
band followed Hardwick to his northern
home, with the purpose of taking his
life. Getting out of money, the raid on
the Northfield bank was planned, and
the tragic result will probably give
Hardwick considerable satisfaction.
In an interview with gentleman who
formerly resided in Lees Summit, Jack
son county, reporter obtained some
interesting information of Cole Younger.
1t was after the war had closed, in 1868,
when Cole had returned to Lees Sum-
nit, and was working on his mothers
farm, leading quiet and peaceable life,
that this gentleman knew him. Cole
was then highly respected by all, and
even highly esteemed. A liberal, free

Steinway's Victory and Laurels.

The following official report of tho Judges
OF Awards, accompanying the Medal shows
conclusicely that the highest honors in the gfi
OF the Centennial authorities were unant.
'nously awarded to STEINwAY & Sons, viz.
For greatest concert capacity in Grand
pianos, as also highest degree of encelence in all
their styles Of pianos, ciz: Largest uol,,me,
purity and duration of tone, and extraordinary
carrying capacity ,oith precision and durabilit,,
Of mechanism; also nouel disposition of the
strings and construction, and brdcing of The
metal frame"
Tho report then minutely describes and en-
phatically indorses the six principal patented
improvements which have made the Steinway
THE STANDARD PIANOS OF THE WORLD.
Referring to Steinway's exhibits in Machin-
cry Hall OF samples of hardware, metal frames
and patent tubular actions, the report further
states:
I" Theso articles OF composite metal show
the highest perfection Of finish and ,oorkman-
ship, and the greatest firmness and uniformity
OF metal structure a steel-like and sounding
quality with tensile strength exceeding 8, 900
pounds per square centimeter, as demonstrate
ed by actual tests. The full metal frames of
cupola siare possess all unequdled degree of
Resistance, permitting a vastly increased ten
sion of strings without the slightest danger Of
crack or break in said metal frames, thereby
considerably increasing the uibrdtory potcer,
and augn, enting the lasting qualities of their
Instruments"

hearted fellow, upright in business
matters and prompt to do kind deed
for friend, no one had better pros
poets for life than Cole Younger. John
Jarrett and one AL. Shepard also resid-
ed there. They were known as desper-
ate men, and were 80 regarded by all.
About this time the daring robbery of
the Russellville bank, in Kentucky, oc-
Cured, and a local vigilance committee
wrote down for descriptions of the rob-
bers. Shepard, Jarrett and Cole Young
er were absent, but no one suspicioned
Cole at all. Judge their surprise when
their letter was answered to fud correct
descriptions of three of their fellow
townsmen- Cole. Jarrett and Shepard.
1t was some time before Cole return
ed, and, on being questioned concern
ing the matter, he admitted that he was
guilty. From that time up to the Min.
nesota robbery he has followed his dar-
ing calling with success. Jarrett, un-
doubtedly the worst man in the whole
band, was the cause of Cole participat-
ing in the robbery. Such was the openly
expressed opinion of Mr.. Hall, Coles
brother in-law. That robbery was
planned by man named Shepard, who
lived at Russellville. His wife, beau
tiful woman, came on to Lees Summit
and laid her husbands plans before JAR
rett, who readily acquiesced, and inAu-
enced Cole to go with him. Thus did
the leader of the Western bandits COM
mence his crimes.

Fashion Notes.
The rage for red increases daily

The rage for red increases daily.
Boas are long and muffs of medium
size this fall.
Pockets are trimmed to excess on all
late Paris costumes.
| Black hare is one of the cheap fur
trimmings this season.
Black marten is the most stylish of
the low priced furs.
Fur lined wraps are to be worn in the
coolest weather only.
Gray chinchilla will be the most
fashionable fur this winter.
Filagree ornaments in both gold and
silver are very fashionable.

Early Days Of Oil.

The humors of oildom in the early
days are many. A story is told of the
owner of barren farm who was advised
bya shrewd neighbor to "plant it " with
oil. He took the hint, purchased q
quantity of crude petroleum and pour.

springs upon his land. The report soon
spread abroad of surface indications on
the land, and an army of oil hunters de-
scended upon the proprietor. He sold
his land at fabulous figure, retaining
a royalty of one-eighth of the oil. The
fortunate landowner thought he had a

down their drill, and struck a flowing
well yielding over one hundred barrels a
day.

business is somewhat remarkable-is

posit of oil by the hypothesis, that q
large shoal of whales were stranded in
Western Pennsylvania at the time of
the subsistence of the food, and that

blubber. His theory was, however, not
generally accepted save among brother
whalers.
