HELD UP A TRAIN,
Passengers in St. Paul Coach
Robbed by Two Masked Men.

Robbed by Two Masked Men.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 4.-"Hod up your
hands" Such was the command that aston
lshed the passengers on the St Paul sleeper
attached to the rear of the Wabash Western
express as it pulled out of Harlem last even
ing. The command was spoken by one of
two men whose faces were concealed behind
handkerchtefs who had entered the rear of
the coach. The passengers turned to ascer-
tain the source of The command and looked
into the threatening muZZleS of Two revolvers.
Hands went up. The CautiOnary words that
followed were not necessary: The first one
that offers resistance will be shot down by
our man on the platform" There was. no
man on the platform but the passengers
submitted as quietly as If there had been q
legion There were seven people in the
coach, five passengers, the sleeping car con-
ductor and the porter. OF the passengers
one was lady At the first command her
face blanched with fear, her hands went up
for moment, then fell lifelessly into her
lap. She had tainted. Il guess they won't
bother u.s." remarked one of the robbers
and, satisfied that no resistance would be
offered, they commenced their work of
plumber One man went through" the
passengers, one by one, while tho other,
with his revolver in his extended arm, kept
watchful lookout for signs of opposition.
EXTENT OF THE ROBBERY
When 1t was all over and the robbers had
escaped the passengers found they had been
relieved of $175 in cash and two gold
watches. The Wabash Western train left
Kansas City at 500 last night. 1t was COM
posed of the baggage express and smoking
cars. one day coach, two Mann boudoir cars
and three Pullman cars. The latter car was
the st. Paul sleeper, where the robbers com
menced their work. When the tfain reached
the Missouri river bridge two men were seen
to get off the forward end of the baggage
car and disappear behind a lumber pile The
train men thought they were trnmps who
had Btoled ride from Kansas City, and
paid no attention to the incident
They are now convinced that
they are the robbers, and that they
caught the rear end of the last sleeper as it
passed the lumber pile. Just as the train
pulled out of Harlem the robbers entered the
car and went through the passengers as de-

Gentle Words Mt Home.

What tritles make or mar the hap

home to dinner, tired and perhaps Il
little cross. The dinner is not quite

thinks he does we'll to be angry. 1t
is trying, to be sure; and Mrs. Jones,
if she be Il loving wife, will do her
very utmost to prevent such Il con
tingency; but it may be she has had
the charge of several children, with
an inefficient servant in the kitchen,
and has really done her best. II
wonder why | can't have my dinner

Jones. Now Tom Smith has just
twice his income, and Mrs. Smith is
able to keep u thoroughly efficient
servant, besidts which she has no
children. All this Mr.. Jones fOrgets
in his anger, but not SO his
wife. 1t makes the question GOuDly
CALLING to her, and she replies
quickly, 81 wonder why can't have
as much housekeeping money as
Mrs. Smith" This turning the
tables on Mr.. Jones is very consoling
at the time, but is another OF the

To be Proud of.

1t always gives us pleasure to record the
successful result OF we'll directed effort in any
department Of business. especially when that
success is backed by merit. and tends to pro-
mote the general welfare. Competition in all
branches Of business at this time is great,
and he who Ivy energy, integrity and perSev-
erance takes the lead is worthy OF commend
alton. In this connection We allude TO Dr..
Tut, OF New York, who has achieved great
victory over long established competitors in
the Introduction of his world renowned Liver
Pills. In q comparatively short time they
surpassed pills that had been before the pub
lie over quarter of century. Tut, Liver
Pills have gained popularity unparalleled.
Endorsed by the Medical faculty in Europe
and America. they have become a houeehold
word on both continents.
DR.. Tutt deserves, and doubtless has, the
gratitude of thousands OF iuvailds who have
been healed by his medicine. In this age OF
quackery it is refreshing to know that there
is at least, one who furnishes Il remedy pro
pared on scientific principles and offers it to
the sick conscientiously. We record his
success with a feeling of pride which every
American should have at the triumph OF one
Of his COuntrYmen.

LOST THE PRIZE.
The British Sealing Vessel Sails
Away From Her CaptOrs,

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug 4.-EictorIa is in q
great state of excitement the cause being
the arrival of the SBIack Diamond. She
came into port last evening and dropped
anchor. She had one American seaman on
board, John Hawkins. He was appointed
special officer by the captain of the Rush and
ordered to take the Diamond to Sitka. Capt
Owens, of the Diamond. told Lieut. futile
he would not sail for Sitka, but would bring
his vessel to Victoria. If they wanted the
Diamond to go to Sitka they would have to
put 4 stronger crew than the schooner's
aboard. The Rush steamed away, and Owens
sailed toward Ounalaska, thinking that there
were British war ships in that vicinity and
intending to demand protection. He sailed
into Ounalaska harbor and boarded a
schooner from Port Townsend He was told
there were no men-of-war in the vi
C ty. Owens told the American he would
sail for Victoria, which he did. He landed
his Indians on the east coast of vancouver.
The Rush took the Diamonds sealskins,
about eighty, but left everything else. Haw-
kins says he was well treated by the crew of
the schooner The greatest satisfaction is
felt here at the escape of the Diamond 1t is
thought the United States will certainly de-
mand the return of the schooner, which the
British government dare not give up. 1t
will bring the matter to 4 speedy conclusion.
Mr. Hammley collector of customs here
said he is of the opinion that When Hawkins
was put aboard the Black Diamond the peO-
pie on the Rush did not care whether she
came to Victoria or not, as long as she got
out of the sea and stopped destroying seals
Hawkins has told everything to the Amert-
can consul here, who has wired the Washing
ton authorities about the matter.
WOULD EXPRESS NO OPINION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA press representa-
tive this evening called the attention of Act
ing Secretary OF State Wharton 70 a dis
patch published in O New York paper to-day
that the schooner Black Diamond, instead of
going to Sitka when ordered 70 that port by
the commander of the Rush, sailed direct for
Victoria, and that one man constituted the
prize crew placed on board by the COM
mander of the Rush, the prize crew was
helpless to prevent the Black Diamonds es-
cape. Secretary Wharton had not seen the
dispatch When told of its contents he said
that the case, If prese nted correctly, was
| most extraordinary, and he would not
| venture an opinion as to the course the state
| department would pursue.
| GIVES GREAT SATISFACTION.

BETTER THAN EVER.
The Excellent Crop Reports Continued and
Increasing-OffCial Summary.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 3.-The secretary of
the state board of agriculture tonight is
sued the following official crop report for
Kansas:
There has not been time in many years
when the condition of crops, fruits, etc,
have been at this date so uniformly good
throughout every portion of the state as
now. About 500 correspondents of this
board representing 103 of the LOG counties
of the state report the condition of wheat,
rye, oats, grass and fruit Of all kinds
above the average condition for term
of years and the indications
everywhere seem to warrant the belief that
farmers generally throughout the state
will reap an abundant harvest this year.
Winter wheat in a few counties in north
west Kansas report a small portion of the
@rly sown wheat was seriously damaged
by the extended drouth in the fall, and is
reported plowed up. but as no reports of
like character come from any other pOr-
ton of the state, the acreage plowed up
in proportion to the total amount is prac-
tically nothing. and the estimated acreage
Of wheat sown in the fall of 1888 0,336, 421
acres), as given In the March quarterly
will probably be the acreage harvested
this year. The average condition for the
state, as compared with the general aver
age for a term of years, is l0S per cent.
Spring wheat-The increase in area
sown TO spring wheat in 1889, as compared
with that sown the previous year, is esti-
mated at 80 per cent, which gives a total
area for the year of 5f,S20 acres, an excess
over that of last year of 1854 acres. The
average condition, compared with the gen.
eral average for term OF years, is ITO pei
cent.
Rye-Condition of rye for the state
compared with general average is 103 pei
cent.
Oats-Increase in area sown to oats in
the spring of 1889 as compared with that
sown the previous year is 147 per cent
which gives a total area for the year OF
1901. 461 acres, or an excess over last year
of pa 64S acres. The average condition
compared with general condition is los pei
cent.
Tame grasses-Tame grasses through
out the state which had suffered from the
effects of drouth the past two years seems
to have fully recovered and the average
condition of these grasses is reported al
l03 per cent.
Fruit-Fruit of all kinds throughout tn,
state is reported in unusually good con
dtion and unless some future calamity be
falls 1t there will be an abundance of fruit
in Kansas this year Ram and chlncl
bugs-During the month of April rain has
fallen III every portion of the state in Suf
ficient quantities to meet all requirements
OF plant life. In some sections especially
in the south and southeastern portions o
the state there has been an excess of rain
fall, which has in some Localities
retarded farm operations, particularly
planting of corn, while chinch bugs are
reported in large numbers in some coun
ties. The abundant rains and coo
weather are disastrous to their propaga
ton and if the season continues favorable
TO thrifty growth of plants no damage I,
crops is apprehended.
