Confession of a scapsgca.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 3I.-JOln Laird,
one of the indicted Blue Cut train robbers,
made confession This afternoon at Iudepend-
encc. lie says seven boys were with old gang,
which was headed by a man whom lie sup
poses to have been Jesse James; that it was
members Of the old gang who entered the e1-
press car and went through the traiD, and that
all the country boys did was to keep up the
racket on the outside. After the robbery the
entire party went into the woods, short
distance from the track where the leaders who
had all the ''swag" in their possession;
said to the boys: "Boys ne have not got
time to divide; they arc too hot after us, and
we didn't get the money we expected anyhow,
but we will all meet on the right fork of tie
Blue next Wednesday evening just ono week
from the night of the robbery, and we will
divide then" and with that the old gang
mounted their horses and rode away
with the betty in their pos
session, while Laird and his comrade s
dispersed for their homes, no richer than
when they started out. Before the night ar
rived which had been set for the divide most
Of them had been safely Jailed, and Others
were fleeing the country as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Laird declares his belief that the robbery
was a put up job, deliberately planned by
James and his gang for the double purpose OF
securing the plumber and getting the country
boys into trouble, in order to divert the atten-
ton of the authorities from their own opera.

The object of Kelogg's efforts to
harmonic the elements of his party in
Louisiana is to make smooth his path
to Congress in the Third District. To
this end he is giving an unlimited sup
ply of taffy to a great number of poll
ticians who have just reason to CON-
plain of having been greivously slight
Cd in the past. When Kellogg begins
his canvass in the third district, how
ever, he will be astonished to find he
has a competitor in the person of old
Tom Anderson. The chief of the re-
turning board has long since o
ed his independence and declared that
he will put himself forward as :" the
candidate of the people" in the Third
District. Unless there is a compromise,
this action will throw the congressional
victory into the hands Of the Demo
Gratis. Both Republican leaders must
understand this, but they are just bull
headed enough to sacrifice their party
interests to ecure their personal ends.
