BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY
TRAIN ROBBERS OBTAIN $4,000
A Well Planned and Neatly Executed Raid
on an Express Srain-They Carry
Dat Every Dst all of Their Plan
Express Agent Escapes.

Ell P.so, Texas, Oct. 3l.-A shrewdly
planned and neatly executed train robbery
was executed on the Mexican Central rail
road at O'Clock this morning. The north
bound passenger train had reached point
twelve miles this side Of San Jose when
three masked men crawled ovar the tender
OF the engine with drawn revolvers and
compelled the engineer TO stop the
train. The robbers uncoupled the two
passenger cars and ran on with the rest OF
the train about six miles further, where
another sop va. made. Here the thieves
broke in the door of the express car, but
while doing SO the messenger escaped III
the darkness. The robbers were unable to
open the safe and secured only Two pack
ages of silver coin amounting 10 $1,000.
They next uncoupied the engine and came
on with that alone running TO within three
miles of Paso del Norte. where they aban-
doned the engine. Before leaving 1t they
started 1t down the road with the throttle
wide open. Itran four miles stopping for
want of steam. There is no clae to the
identity of the robbers. They cut the tele-
graph wires IN several places.

origin of the water clock.

The clepsydra, or water clock, in its sim
piest form, is traced by historians no further
than Greece, about 430 b. C. l confess l
have been far from satisfied with stopping at
this halfway house in seeking for the origin
OF this instrument. ! have sought further,
and what / have found, IL conclusive of
nothing, is at least suggestive. If, taking
our lives in our hands, we could step on
board Malay proa, we should see floating
in bucket of water a coeoanut she'll having
a small perforation, through which the water
by slow degrees finds its way into the inte-
rior. This oriice is so proportional that the
shell will fill and sink in an hour, when the
man on watch calls the time and sets it afioat
again. This device of barbarous, unpro-
gressiye people, SO thoroughly rude in itself,
conceive to be the rudest that search of
any length can bring TO light. In northern
india We find the rude cotoanut shell devel-
oped into copper bowl. Its operation is
the same, but the attendant, who stands by
and watches the moment of its sinking, now
strikes the hour on the resonant metal. Pro
fessor Franklin A. Seely.

Ground nuts or peanuts, which with us
are so large, white and cheap, in Grants
town are scarce, small and black; quarter
gill sells for penny. They are another
luxury, and probably bushel would glut
the market. But for all the dirt, rags and
squalor there is something in the ring Of the

Over the hill on star lit night-they shine
so low you may almost reach them with your
cane-a white smooth road leads to Grants
town. As you go down the slope little dots
of flame appear beyond and the hum of pleas
ant voices, till in short time you reach an
almost continuous row of cabins on either
side, and this is Grantstown-not our Gen
Grants but another Grants a Sir Somebody,
at one time governor of all the Bahamas
under water and just above it, for Grants
town is colored suburb of Nassau and lies
in a hollow behind It, The little flames
broaden as you approach, and you find on n
fiat stone for a hearth, litter of ashes and
little pitch pine sticks, kept lighted torch
like, and squatting on the ground beside each
old wenches, toothless and sere, child or so,
and the market stuff spread in little heaps.
Five sweet potatoes sell for copper, four
gumbo pods for farthing, four little red
tomatoes and a pepper for a check Ia check is
one and one-half penny; there are also tins
of Guinea corn 10 sort of broom corn seed,
white maize from the out islands, COW peas,
little cups of ground nuts, peanut candy,

The Next Delegate.

La Moure Progress and Chronicle:
The CANTON ADVOCATE adopts Lin
coins maxim that "it is bad policy to
swap horses while crossing the stream
and nominates Delegate Clifford for a
third term in congress. Mr.. Clifford re-
sides in CANTON, and it is not surpris-
ing that TIE ADVOCATE has taken an
oatiY opportunity TO open the cam
paign in his behalf. It shows that he
has faithful sentinel at home, who is
not sleeping at his post. Nor is Mr..
Clifford undeserving of this evidence Of
loyalty there, and elsewhere, Tor he has
rendered valuable service-especially
during the present sessiop-on all cues,
tlons affecting the real welfare of Da-
kota. But while Acknowledgements are
due in this regard, it does not follow
that the question of the next can
diGacy should be decided off-hand in
favor of the present incumbent. We
are not great sticklers for locality,
but Dakota covers q large surface, and
it is a consideration which sometimes
influences results. Again, South Dako-
ia has had the delegate four years, dur
ing Wilicn period hGrsepMatG statehood
movement has been in progress, which,
unfortunately, was so managed as to
prejudice division in the north this
misfortune being further aggravated
by the terms of the Harrison bill in the
senate. These incidents of past contro-
versy are not now adyerted to to excite
sectional feeling, but only as GXplana-
tory facts, which have their bearing on
pending issues, Of which the selection
of the next deleCate is one. Obviously

The republican territorial central
committee will meet in Aberdeen to-
morrow and will call a territorial con-
vention for the purpose of electing
delegates to the Chicago convention.
Frank r. Aikens will attend from this
city, and will go pretty well loaded
with proxies. The north will hold out
for basing the representation in the
convention upon the total vote, while
the south will vote for the more equit-
able and honorable plan of arrang-
ing the basis upon the republican vote
for delegate. North Dakota came
pretty close to democratic majority
at the last election, and now will ask
for equal representation with the re-
publicans of South Dakota. The
movement is nanifestly unfair and
will rebound with discredit to the in
stigators Of the scheme. Mr.. Aikens
will work for republican representa-
ton, but expects to be outvoted by the
north and their allies.

ASills GinG ed.

Rapid City Journal: The CANTON
ADVOCATE urges the renominatiA.S51
Delegate Clifford for the reason that sit
is bad policy to swap horses while cross
ing a stream" What it means by this
is made more clear in another portion
of the article, in which it sets forth the
fact that Mr.. Clifford has had much to
do with the division movement and IS a
representative of the division sentiment.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Clifford will
be renominated. \ republican nomi-
nation to the Office of delegate in this
territory has heretofore been considered
equivalent to an election. Therefore
there always have been and no doubt
always will be until the political COM
plexion shall have changed, a large
number of republican candidates for
thG place. Rarely has Dakota elected
a delegate for the second term. Mr..
Clifford is one of the few men who has
been honored by a reelection to the of
flee, and it is very reasonable to pre-
sumo that he will now have to give way
to some other aspirant. 1t seems prob
able that there will be no chance for
him to step into a Dakota senatorship
at once.
