Arkansas City Democrat. In looking
up matters of church fairs, We fail to
find anything that there WIS ever a fair
held in Jerusalem, or that the SaviOr
left any instruction to his disciples how
to conduct one. We think an important
item might have been added In the re-
vision of the testament II full directions
by st. Paul and Peter had been given
how Mary of Magdalene made her crazy
quilt or whether Judas IscaEiot won a
crOtcheted baby hood at a lottery for
the benefit of the church at Antioch
Some one is to blame for this, and going
back to the captivity In Babylon we can
not ind ont who 1t is. Perhaps IL the
hurry Of going to press, John, in his
publishing establishment In Patmos
overlooked this important item. Then,
although most of the deacons in the
primitive churches were fishers, they
never thought to introduce a fish pond
into their foreign mission work, and
charge two shekels OF silver for a chance
to fish up a rag doll with a putty nose
and pokeberry cheeks. Those old fell
lows were sedate citizens, but they
missed lots of fun. We would like for
some of the brethren to come around
and explain to US to satisfy an inward
longing to know why these things did
not occur in those times.

An Express Car Robbed OF Fifty Thousand
Dollars.
ST. LOUIS, No, October i26.-The Adams
express car attached to passenger train No
3, on the ST. Louis & San Francisco road
which left this city at 9:25 last night, was
robbed of over So, 600 in cash, between here
and Pacific, Missouri From the meagrs
reports it seems that as the train left this
city, a man giving the name of Cummings,
presented letters to the express messenger,
Mr.. EOtherIngham, purpOrtlng to be signed
by the officer Of the company, stating that
Cummings was about to take a '.Eun" on tho
line, and asking FOtheringham to give him
points. When near MerrimGC the stranger
OverpOWered the messenger gagged and
bound him to the safe, after which he cOOlly
rided the car, cut open the bags containing
the silver, but took none of il. AT Merri-
mac the robb6r left the train. The EObbeey
was not discovered until the train reached
Pacific when the express car was broken
open and Messenger EOtheriughau found
Uied to the safe The express officials axe
reticent, but admit that over 1000 was
taken. The rObber is iHperfeCtly described
as a tall dark man of proposes ing appear
ance, dressed in black with very large hands
and feet. 1t is a singular coincidence that
he gave the name of Jim Cummings, the
only member OF the OEcs celeb -lted James
gang who has never been accounted Tor.
