abouts they were unable to locate, would
fully establish the identity Of his client He

The late rains have done immense
good to the northwest, which in most
sections had become very dry from lack
OF rain during a period Of nearly six
months, NJ

After q devastating war and crush
ing debt, in ten years France was in as
good o financial condition as Germany,
and the reason for this was no doubt the
fact that the land in France is divided
up into small farms, and there are no
treat monopolies, and the people are
thrifty and economical Philadelphia
is the most thrifty city in our country,
and it i well known fact that more
working people own their own homes in
Philadelphia than in any other city in
he Union.

Express Car Robbery In Indians.
4 The Louisville express, on the Louisville,
New Albany y Chicago. railway, was
robbed near Harrodsburg, Ind, short
~ before midnight Shortly before
the train should have reached Bloom
ington, man having the appearance Of q
tramp entered the express car armed with a
heavy hickory stick. In this car were George
Z. Davis, the express messenger and Peter
Weber, baggageman Webber says that he
and Davis were asleep when the robber en-
tered Weber was awakened by . violent
blow on the head. The robber then. struck
Davis evidently while he, was asleep. Davis
managed to loosen his right hand and draw
his revolver, but before he could fire the man
wrenched the weapon from his grasp, and
leyeling 1t, pulled the trigger The
ball struck the messenger in the head, and:he
fell dying to the floor. The robber then made
the baggageman open the safe and ( take out
the money. Then the$tramp pulled the bell
cord and stopped the train, but first fired at
Weber, the bullet striking him in the fore
head, Weber succeeded in reaching the
smoking car, and gave the alarm, but the soli-
tary train robber had disappeared in the dark
ness. The alarm was not given until the
train reached Bloomington, when the search
commenced. The amount stolen is not known
but exceeded 81, 100 Davis aqd Webber are
both alive, but the former cannot recover. A
passenger on the sleeping car, looking out Of
the window, saw the robber emerge apparently
from the trucks. This was at Smithville, two
miles from Harrodsburg, where the train
stopped for water, thus enabling the robber to
enter the baggage car. Z. :. g9.z.,
