she was asleep. For this was the one

the works that were read stirred her soul +;

TINS Ti3e-The Express. Gar De-

ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. S.-The Repubti-
cone Independence, Mo-, special, received
at half past 3 o'clock this morning, says:
The passenger train, No. 4S, on the Chi
csgo and Alton Railroad, was stopped
and robbed by twelve masked men, four
miles east of Independence and fourteen
miles from Kansas City, at O'Clock to-
night. rhe express car was broken open,
and Messenger Fox, refusing to give up
the key to the safe, was SO terribly beaten
that he can not live. The amount taken
is not known, but estimated at from five
to twenty thousand dollars. After 60
ing through the express car, all the
passengers were robbed of money and
watches amounting TO several thousand
dollars. The robbers were heavily arm
ed and kept up q continual firing of
pistols to intimidate the passengers.
Several shots were fired at Conductor
Hazelbaker, but he escaped unhurt. The
whole affair occupied less than fifteen
minutes and was done very systematic
ally. After securing their booty the
whole party rode off into the woods The
train men made q show of resistance,
bur being unarmed they could do moth
ing. The spot selected for the bold deed
was in dense woods two miles from any
habitation. The train was stopped by
red lantern and an obstruction on the
track. The train ran into Kansas City,
gave the alarm and Chief of Police
Speers started out at once with fifty men
on horseback. A special train with
posse under Marshal Murphy also went

The Indian War.

San Francisco, Sept. IA Phoenix,
Arizona, second dispatch says much ex-
element exists here and at Globe. Two
men have have been killed and one
wounded by the Apaches, near Reno.
The settlers are gathered at Greenvalley,
Reno, Wild Eye and Mcdowell. The
military are organizing everywhere and
the militia calling for arms. The acting
Governor telegraphed the Secretary of
War for arms and ammunition at once.
The civil and military authorities are in
fullest accord. The chiefs of the Pimo
and Maricopa tribes, near Phoenix,
offer to provision themselves, and lead
their bucks against the Apaches. These
have always been friendly to the whites,
and hated the Apaches. The military
are moving everywhere. A great meet
ing was held here tonight to organize
the militia, and company of cavalry is
now hurrying to Globe. A courier from
Mcdowell reports all quiet at Apache
and Thomas. The Indisns are probably
scattering, and the small bands of set
tiers who can't wait for authority, will
kill them on sight.

Never touch spirits under any cir
cumstances. Dozens of lemons can be
easily carried about, and with soda or
plain water, or even that CHASTITY com
pound ginger beer, squeeze of q lemon
is worth Kings ransom. There are
two pre-eminent drinks for quenching
the thirst, equal in merit, but matter of
taste to the drinkers water and
milk. l prefer the former. But if the
young would drink the latter at balls,
for instance, in lieu of doubtful cham

great difference, morally and physically.

SENATOR BECK.


/ legged To- nave been made ~ him.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 8. = Senator
Beck having arrived at home from his
trip to the north west, q correspondent
sought an interview with him relative
| to the published interview in which he
WAS represented as making certain state
ments about the organization of the Ben
ate in case of Garfield's death, and the
Dispatch from Blaine summonIng him to
Washington. Beck replied that he had
been in the north west for nearly q month
on private business, that he saw very few
newspapers and had not seen or heard
anything about the matter inquired of
until he reached Cincinnati. de said
he had received no dispatch from Blaine,
had not been near Washington, and was
astonished when he heard that such a re-
port was in circulation. As to the other
report he said that the only foundation
for it was that on more than one occasion
men said to him that the Republican
leaders were seeking TO persuade people
that the sympathy expressed by Demo
Gratis and especially by the Democracy Of
the South, for President Garfield WAS all
a sham, that they would rejoice at his
death and at the assassination of Arthur
if they could elect President pro tenn.

suggestions at assassination as neither
Democratic nor Southern vice. and
maintained that our desire for the recov-

inc and heartfelt; that, in the event of
his death, nothing revolutionary or lille
gal would be attempted; that probably
Mr. Anthony or some other conservative
Republican would be elected; that GER

no idea, ut any time that his |
statements would be reported and his
chief regret seems to be that any one
would suppose that he was anticipating

last night at Port Huron, signed by Sen

calling for money, clothing
and provisions to be sent forthwith
to E. G. Carlton, Mayor of Port Huron.
The distress is unparalleled. 1t is believ-

ished, and it is feared many more, while
thousands are stripped of everything.
Food and shelter, crops and stock and all
are swept clean from the face of the
