1t IL said, with the usual tools and
machinery ought to keep out twenty
men.
Sheriff Bradley, Of North Platte,
when ten miles out of Big Springs,
struck the robbers trail, and found
two of their revolvers and treasure
box empty.
Upon the arrival of the train here
at 8 o'clock this evening ! Interview
ed the passengers and train men, and
found their statements to agree in the
main with the above account. Con-
ductor Patterson, while under guard,
was robbed of money and watch but
got his watch back, as they dropped
1t and he picked it up after they left.
Andy Riley of this city, was on the
car platform, and they ordered him to
go in, and as he did not step quick
they shot at him twice, one ball graz
ing his left hand. They also robbed
him Of SIS and two watches. Coun-
Gilman Cummings. who was on the
platform at the same time got inside
just as the shots were fired. The bull
lets sank into the door frame. The
passenger coach was robbed by six
men, who, with pointed and cooked
revolvers, ordered everybody's hands
up. They collected 81 300 in curren-
cy, besides watches, jewelry, and rail-
road tickets. They attempted to force
open the door of a sleeper, but failed.
The passengers say there were thir-
teen men in the party. Every effort
will be made to capture them.

More Railroads.

John f. Henry, Esq, the efficient
manager of the d. 4 N. w. r. r., re-
turned home Yesterday morning from
visit to Chicago which meant busi-
ness for Davenport, and for Mr.. Hen
ry's road. In Chicago that gentleman
met with Vice President Spencer, Of
the d. q n. w. r. r., a faithful friend
of Davenport interests, and together
these railroad managers concluded an
arrangement under which the lines of
the Chicago, Clinton, Dubuque and
Minnesota companies will henceforth
have their southern terminus at Dav-
export instead Of Clinton. That will
be the effect. The actual compact is
that the uncompleted line of the Chi
cago 4 Western railroad-the Hinck-
ley roads to be extended by Mr.. Joy
to the line of the d. 4 n. w. r.. r.,
just north Of Long Grove, and that the
cars of all Mr.. joys northern Iowa
and Wisconsin roads are to be run di-
rect to this city. Within six weeks
the five miles or so of track necessary
to complete the extension of the Clin-
ton & Western r. r. can be laid, and
then Mr.. joys cars will come BOOM
ing into Davenport, down Front street
to the Northwestern depot. Then, all
aboard for Clinton, Bellevue, Sabula,
Dubuque, McGregor and st. Paul on
q through line. Then. q single trans
fer. at this city, will secure through
line from st. Paul to st. Louisl This
is progress! 1t indicates real busin ess
on the part of Vice President Spencer
and Manager Henry, and will add inn
mensely to the popularity of their ex-
cellent road. Davenport has long de-
sired this very extension of railroad
facilities.
This is the road we long have sought,
And mourned because we found 1t not.

An uptown woman attempted to
gather some peaches the other day,
and putting on an old hat and coat
mounted step-ladder and began fill-
ing her basket. Emboldened by sue
cess she got into the tree. and the first
thing she knew the dog chased Q hog
through the garden, and, Of course,
knocked down the ladder. The sequel
is soon told-her husband found her
suspended between heaven and earth
by the tail of the coat, and the pale air
was streaked with white cotton and
calico AS she strove to mount onward
and upward. Some illusions could
have been made to peaches and scream
but it wasn't thought necessary.

Grade or Wheat.

If Iowa wheat is not No. this year
1t never will be. And yet we learr all
our wheat is graded No, at Chicago.
The Vinton Eagle says ]. G. Pike
shipped q car load last week, which
graded No. 1, "and it was the first car
load ever shipped from that place that
ever graded No. l." They may not
grade our wheat equal to its quality,
but it makes but little difference a.
there is now only about one cent per
bushel difference between No. and 9.
And amidst the perversity of Chicago
wheat inspectors we should not at any
time be astonished If No. 2 was worth
. little more than No. /. There for
merly was difference from eight to
fifteen cents.-Register.

Correspondence State Register.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Sep. 10,
Dear Register:-The desire to see
my name In print again, has at length
become irresistible; SO l am going to
satisfy myself by writing you of what
we have been doing these pleasant fall
days. It has been hard summer for
our students. SO much hot, damp
weather, when 1t has seemed hard
enough work to breathe, to say moth
ing Of study. But the lessons had to
be learned in spite Of the seeming op-
preston Of the clerk Of the weather,
and the boys and girls have done
bravelys
The Junior ladies are very much in
terested just now in their experiment
tai kitchen. 1t is carried on under
Mrs. Welch's direction in connection
with her class In Domestic Economy,
and SO far has been a complete success.
Saturday morning from nine O'clock
till noon and Monday afternoon from
three to five the girls gather in the
kitchen and have practical lessons in
cooking. The work of the first day
was preparing dinner for the Facul-
ty table in the dining hall. judge
that they were successful, for I heard
one of the Professors say afterward
that he had eaten enough of that deli
cious roast beef to last him q month.
One day they made biscuits and can
ned peaches, and at another lesson
these amateur Bndgets were initiated
into the mysteries of cake baking. !
ventured into the kitchen that after
noon, and will try to describe the
scene. There were some SIX or seven
young ladies', clothed in long-sleeved,
high-necked aprons and armed with
pencil and note book. They were
clustered about Mrs. Welch like SO
many bees about honey, catching ev-
cry word that fell from her lips and
slowing it away in their note books
for future use. Then down went pen
ellis and books, and dash was made
for spoons, cake bowls, and egg beat
ers. and soon nothing was heard but
the noise of beating and stirring. A
more enthusiastic set of young ladies
you never saw, and they worked like
beavers.
They were hot and tired when the
chapel bell rang, but thoroughly satis-
fed with the result Of their labors, for
am sure that no old housekeeper
ever made nicer or lighter cake than
they did.
Last Satudayr the same set Of girls
went into the kitchen and made anoth-
batch Of cake by themselves, without
aid from their teacher, and 1t was
splendid. To-day one division Of the
class will attempt bread-making.
Everything that has been made so
far has been disposed of at cost price
to the students, and since the proof Of
the pudding is in the eating, I think
that the eagerness with which the stu
dents send In their orders Is guaranty
of the success Of the kitchen. We are
going to send you specimen one Of
these days, Mr.. Editor, so you can see
how it Is yourself. MAuDE.

How He Startled Her.

A whoop-bang sort Of boy, with
feet as broad and fiat ~ q pie-tin, trot-
ted through the Central Market yes
terday till he reached stall kept by
a single woman about 80 years old.
Hating there, he yelled out: "Say |!
say! Your little boy has been run over
and killed. up by the City HALL" "Oh!
oh! Heavens-oh! OH" she screamed,
~ she made dive under the counter,
came up on the outside, and started to
follow the boy. After going ten feet
she halted, looked very foolish all of
sudden, and remarked: What fool
l am! Why, amt even married. -

A somewhat startling and rather
curious judgment was recently deliv-
cred by Sessions Judge in one of the
Bengal districts. Four persons were
brought before him on . charge Of
murder, and were duly convicted; but
in passing sentence the Judge appa-
rently found himself in . di6lculty.
There 10 no doubt" he said, that all
four are guilty Of murder, and are,
therefore, liable to be hanged; but / do
not think it necessary for four lives to
be taken for one, but that one case Of
capital punishment win be eenough for
example!" Although In addition to
this, he said further on that "all four
seem to have been equally sctive." yet
he concluded by sentencing the appar-
emily oldest and strongest Of the pris-
oners to death, and the other three to
imprisonment for life. On an appeal
to the High Court the sentence was
not confirmed. Yet such 10 the read
ing Of the law BY some Of the Indian
Judges.

The Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal.

For some time past, we have been looking out
for news concerning the result OF the labors Of
Lieutenant Commander Lucien Bonaparte Wise
and his exploring party on the lsthmus Of Darien
in the United States OF Columbia. We have oil.
ready expressed our opinion that the cutting Of
this Inter-oceanic canal will produce u great In
huence upon these Islands, which lie in the direct
sea route of ships from the lsthmus to Eastern
Asia and Japan. We now find the following par

is making progress in its operations. It's explor.
ers are busily at work in the United States Of Co
lumbia, under the direction Of Lieutenant Wyse,
who reports his confidence that an inter-Oceanic
canal by way OF Columbia will soon be an accom-
plished fact. He specially favors the Columbian
route, because ii will not require such expensive
locks as the Nicaragua route. while the lowest
gradients and the narrowest istbmuses are also
found in Columbia
The gentleman who proposes TO make this canal

man, the late Rt. Hon. Sir Thomas Wise. Of the
Manor Of st. Johns, Waterford, and his mother
was the Princess Letitia B%onapart, niece TO the

sworc that Mr.. MOhabeer had not called himself
