THE RECENT TRAIN RoBBERY-JEssE JAMES AND

PROSPECTS OF THE CROPS.
Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR
KANSAS CITY. Mo. Sept. IL. ISSl
Kansas City is beehive OF industry. You
never saw so much business in a city of its size
in all your travels. Ii has been five wears since
was here, and could scarcely tell where was.
When we rolled into the grandest depot in the
United States il was almost impossible for me to
realize the change from an cid shed that stood
on the same site for years to a perfect palace
with train from some direction arriving every
nall hour during the day and night
Inc greatest excitement prevails here now
over the train robbery that occurred within al
most gunshot distance of the courthouse and
within view OF 100000 people and with all the
startling developments and exciting adventures
In the pursuit and supposed capture of the real
train robbers. the whole will end in farce-all
the Noise will end in much cry and little wool

1--we In Kansas City and Jackson county. The
mother OF Jesse James the great outlaw, comss
INTO Kansas City every week. and lives across
the river in Clay county, and he (Jesse James)
goes there, sleeps there. and the authorities
know that he lis there half his time and vet
they cannot find him. The sheriff is afraid TO
arrest him. and this fear springs TO a great ex-
leIt from "a pOlftlcal source. The moment the
James are inteIfered with that very moment
the votes Of his friends are given To some other
ofhcia who pledges that he will look everywhere
else except in the place where the outlaw
is. This is true statement of the whole
thing. They may arrest every man in Jack
son county, and they will not get the men
who committed the robbery. With all their
spur2e il is not the intention to capture the
right ones. because they are afraid to. This is
my prediction Some of the robbers NAV eyentu-
ally be arrested, but all the boys for that Is all
you can call them) that have been arrested will
be released one by one after the excitement dies
out and the people think they have the right
ones. The friends of the James boys are going
TO stand by them. and they are legion and a
great political power in this (Jackson) and Clay
county. The James can commit any crime
here they want TO and they will never be
arrested.
The weather here is delightful, but the rain
that fell few days ago came too late. The
crops are almost total loss. Vegetables can
scarcely be procured i'm the markets This state
OF affairs prevails the entire way from Washing
ton to Kansas. Everything i'm the way of eat
abes have gone up 80 per cent within the past
ten days. Laborers and mechanics are arranging
for an advance in WAGES After you leave
Quincy. Ill., all through northeastern Missouri
the farmers are feeding their cattle to keep them
alive. Thousands of acres of the finest lands one
ever laid his eyes on looks as barren as a barn
yard.

healthy. The lung trouble has not increased in

ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A CIRCUS.

ALL ON AtCOUNI OF A CIRCUS.
CINCINNATI. o., Sept. IA Louisville Co,u-
ter'-Jouomdt special from Frankfort. KY. says:
few weeks since the city council raised the cir
Gus license from $35 to SO. This Forepaugh,
the proprietor of a circus, refused to pay, and
rented grounds just out of the city. The coun-
Gil then passed an ordinance prohibiting him
from unloading in the city. An injunction was
obtained and an order served on Mayor Taylor
restraining him from interfering with the I'M
loading of the show. This order Mayor Taylor
refused to obey. and with the police endeavored
to stop the unloading. Sheriff Hawkins seeing
he was powerless to enforce the order of the
court, called on the governor for aid. He
promptly ordered Capt. Price to report to the
sheriff with the McCreery Guards. This he did.
and when the militia arrived at the depot Mayor
Taylor still refused to allow them to unload and
riot was imminent. He said he would shoot
the first man who attempted to take a wagon
from the train. He was carried by force from
the scene and the street taken possession of by
the soldiers. The cars were unOaded and a
parade took place. The military will remain on
guard until the circus leaves town.

The Feeling I'm This Ci.x

There was good deal Of anxiety i'm the city
to-day about the President. The bulletin places
were surrounded most of the time by small
crowds of people. There were a number of visi-
tors TO the White House to make inquiry.
Nothing outside of the official bulletins is re-
ceived at the house. To-day the people there
wrote out the bulletin in "A biz hand and posted
it on board 10y the side Of the entrance door in
order to get rid of some of the many inquiring
ones. The news or the day seemed to have a
depressing effect in all of the goyernn ent de-
partments. But very little public work OF any
KIND Is transacted ordinarily now. TODAY there
was less While hope still keeps ahead. the
prevalent feeling among the clerks in depart
ments and among the people OF the city gem
orally are becoming very gloomy indeed, as far
as the President is concerned

favorable news from the President to-day cast
gloom over all the departments. and. in fact,
over the entire city. The feeling. after the news
That the President had had another rigOr was
received, was one of general dependency. In
the reduced state OF the President, the impress
sion is that he cannot withstand another relapse,
and the public mind is almost prepared for the
worst news
