TRAIN ROBBERY.

KANSAS CITY, July 16.-Information has
been received here by an incoming Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific train of daringly
planned and successful train robbery which
occurred at Winston a station on the Rock
Island road, short distance east of Cam
eron. The robbers were six in number,
supposed to be under the leadership of
Jesse James. The men boarded the train
leaving this city at $50 p. m. at Cameron.
and Winston, where the the train stopped.
They stood up in the aisle of the car with
drawn revolvers. One of the bandits. a
man with heavy black whiskers, advanced
with revolver la each hand towards Will
liam Westphall, the conductor, and order
ed him to hold up his hands. The con
ductor was slow in complying with his de-
mands and was
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART
by the desperate One of the other men
then shot John McCulloch, a st one cutter
from Wilton Junction, who turned out his
seat, through the head; the men then went
through the train to the express car and
over powered the .. S. express messenger,
Charles Marcy, of this city, who was
forced into opening the safe from which
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
was taken. The desperadoes then went to
the engine and told the engineer to start
his train. This he could not do on ac-
count of the automatic brakes and he was
once utilized as target by the robbers.
The engineer put out the lights in
the cab and crawled along
the footboard to the pilot, extinguished the
hendlight and laid down in the pilot. The
robbers made no search for him, but de-
parted, No attempt was made to rob the
passengers. The people about Winston
rose up en- masse, and armed men are now
endustriously seeking the desperadoes.
KANSAS CITY, July 15.-t is reported
that the Rock Island train due in this city
tonight was side tracked ut Winslow sta
o'clock and boarded by a band of despera-
does. who killed the conductor and
robbed all the passengers and
mail and express cars.
A train robbery occurred tonight on the
Rock Island road at Winslow Station
near Cameron junction. When the traiI
which left this city tonight in charge o.
Conductor Westwell reached that point, a
$50, gang of desperadoes appeared ant
sidetracked the train. Every car wa
boarded, the conductor was killed and thu
passengers robbed. 1t is impossible to ge
any particulars up to late hour. Win
slow is in the open prairie country anC
would seem to be the last place on the lin'
that robbers would select for such an oper
alton, but the vicinity has very hare
population and it is not improbable tina
the outlaws would have assistance in thei
efforts to escape pursuit. The first repor
of the robbery received in this city started
humorous rumors about the notorious
James brothers, but all speculation is idl'
at present.

and its harbor. The Figa Times of April
30 tells of horrible massacre perpetrated
at Tapitawa, one of the Islands. The ma

them to give up their weapons. Lately the
people of the southern portion of the isl

them, armed his followers and led them in

children being massacred The bodies
were collected in pile and burned. Kabu
has been taken to Honolulu to answer for
the crime.

LAST NIGHT

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The mysterious
lady in black who has been spoken of some
what in connection with the assassination
of the President was at the White House
yesterday and to-day. She was in search
of certain newspaper man, who she says
has written her up shamefully." 1t hap
pened that each time she called, the man
she was inquiring for was not at the White
House.
Mr.. Jennings had larger cooling ap
paratus at work last night. The machine
will furnish some 10000 feet of cool air
hourly The other one furnishes about
1890 feet. 1t viii still be used to keep
the Presidents room at uniform temper
ature of 85 degrees. The large machine is
said to cool the corridor upon which the
Presidents room opens. This invention
has attracted great deal of attention be-
cause of its perfect success Commodore
Shook, chief of the Bureau of steam engi
neers, has made elaborate drawings of it
for comparison with the plans of ventila-
ton of ships employed ia the navy. Mrs.
Garfield yesterday paid visit to the base
ment to examine the machine and was
greatly pleased with its working.
DR.. Woodward keeps record of the
amount of air furnished and its tempera-
ture, taking his data once every hour.
There is comparatively little beyond the
fact that there is steady progress in regard
to recovery that can be said as to the Pres
ident's condition. He continues to i'm
prove. The official bulletins are better as
they are issued, the doctors speak more
confidently of his case. In short there is
no doubt that he is out of danger and prac-
tically out of all danger of death. 1t is
now resolved down to question of how
long time it Will be before he is himself
again. The physicians say it viii be sever,
al months yet before that happens.

butter market is not affected as much as
the cheese trade by the fraudulent
handling of adulterated or imitation ar
ticles.
A heavy grocery dealer in New York
city, on being interviewed by reporter,
said: eff there could be some plan de-
vised whereby all dealers, whether they
sell by wholesale or retail, could be COM
PEELED to sell oleomargarine and lard
cheese by their right names, SO that no
deception could be practiced upon the
buyers, the complaints now heard would
in a great measure cease to be made. I
tell you that unless something can be
done to compel the dealers in these
goods to sell them by their right names,
the export trade in butter and cheese
will soon be in a more perilous condi-
ton than it is to-day"
Myriads Of protests against the frauds
above mentioned have gone forth from
the press and rostrum, but they seem to
be as ineffective as the shepherd boys
last cry in the tabled wolf story. The
oleaginous dwarf has grown to gigantic
proportions, but no David has yet ap-
peared to check his viciousness.
The matter is one that concerns
every husbandman, and All organized
movement instituted by granger and
farmers societies generally seems to be
the proper thing. Enact iron-clad laws
governing the dairy trade. and then
"let no guilty man escape"

A NEFARI0Us PRACTICE.

The Pennsylvania state board of
charities have had brought to their at.
tention the fact that many of the immi-
grants landed on their shores from
Europe are either hopeless]y diseased or
are dependents. A large number of
these people are sent over by the
authorities in foreign countries, and
others are set adrift by their friends ~
who are desirous of getting rid of the ex-
pense and trouble of caring for them. A
similar case of +assisted immigration !"
developed itself at Havre, France, where
q low, degraded thief was shipped to New
York on French steamer. The prisoner
named Dunkel, native of Switzerland,
had served seventeen terms of imprison-
ment, and, in fact, had been in the work
house or penitentlary almost constantly
since childhood. He was still under
sentence to the workhouse when he was
taken out and shipped to America, just
as an English convict is sent to Van Die
mans Land. Consul Mason at Basle
protested to the Liestal authorities
against this outrage. His protest being
disregarded he has replied that he will
send the case to the American govern
ment and have Dunkel returned.
The number of this class of arrivals is
increasing, and it would seem as though
the almshouses, reformatories and
prisons of Europe are being depopulated,
the inmates being sent over to be provid-
ed for by the American people.

THE 0LE0MARGARINE FRAUDS.

The honest manufacturers of dairy
products throughout the country are
justly filed with alarm at the threatened
ruination of their export trade through
the pernicious practice Of shipping oleo-
margarine and lard cheese, and palming
them off as simon pure kline product.
AS evidence that their fears are we'll
founded, and in order that the general
reader may fully understand the extent
of the falling off in the export trade, a
few figures may be given. During last
year the average export of cheese was
something over 2, ,0OO, 900 pounds week.
The average this year is scarcely over
1 ,000, 900 pounds week. The export
of butter last year averaged about 45O,-
600 or 500, 600 pounds week, while this
year the average does not reach $50, 900
pounds week. A large percentage Of
the article exported is, in fact, oleomar-
garine, but cleared under it's lawful
name, is also less than that of last year,
but vast quantity Of the stuff cleared
as oleomargarine is not in the. shape .oi
imitation butter, but is in oil. Oleomar-
garine is used by butter manufacturers
in Germany and Holland and in other
countries. One-quarter Of the oil il
used with three quarters Of butter to
form an article which is there sold at
good prices, and which is very deceptive
in appearance. II Is claimed that the

The President nominated Benjamin Harris
Brewster, of Philadelphia, Ter attorney general,
on the 10th inst. Mr.. Brewster has not been
prominent as politician, but he is eminent as
the country in hiy profession. He is about s.
years of age, Of medium height, and sufficiently
broad without being what is termed stout. His
face has been frightfully disfgured by an acci.
dent, so as to be almost revolving to stranger.
The eyelids have been partially burned away,
the lips distorted and the cheeks are livid and
corrug gated with scars. But those who know
him well say that one soon forgets this disfg.
urement in the charm Of his conversation and
manners. The scars, too, which he bears are
honorable ones. They were incurred in rescu.
ing a sister from death by fire.
