Every one knows that the Stork is al.
most superstitiously beloved by the
peasants OF Northern Gcrmlny and
She Low Countries, and that iron sup
ports upon which he may build his
nest are set on cottage gables in the
belief that where u stork has his
brood fire will never come, Neverthe-
less, travellers are often surprised
when they see how tame the great
birds become. following the agricult-
urist through field and furrow, and
often sleeping ON the tall, red leg close
to where he is at work and within
sound OF the rumble Of the passing
railroad train. So fond is the Dutch
man of having storks about him, in
deed, that he makes provision for its
nests even IN the center Of his bulb
fields. Here one may often see slender
poles some twenty or thirty feet in
length, supported by braces, and bear
ing at the top small, round platform
similarly strengthened. On these the
storks build their nests and here they
perch, like sentincls, protecting the
beautiful crops. Cor. Chicago Times.

time past the presence of considerable
quantity of oil has been noticed in the
Grand river, and discovery was made

element The source of the oil has
been found near the head of tho creek,
where it oozcs in considerable quanti-
tics from the rocks. An expert was
summoned early in the week, and to-day
made his report He says the oil is
equal to the finest Ohio product, and
that gas exists in large quantities in the
rocks, and that it can be had for the
boring. A seam was opened this after
noon in the rock and the oil gushed out
literally. The work of developing the
find will be pushed.

TRAIN ROBBERS
A Pair of Desperadoes Rob the Oc-
eupants Of Wabash Sleeper,
Making Their Escape After a Desperate
Struggle with Plucky Conductor.

ST. Louis, Aug. 5.-Passenger train
No. 4 on tho Wabash Western, which
left Kansas City Saturday evening, was
held up by two masked men five miles
east of Kansas City, and the passengers
In the two rear coaches were relieved Of
their money and jewelry. Immediately
after the train left Harlem, a station just
across the river from Kansas City, two
men entered the St. Paul coach and
passed through it and the Des Moines
sleeper behind it, the latter being the
last car in the train. When they reached
the rear platform of the sleeper the
men tied red handkerchiefs around the
lower part of their faces, drew their
revolvers and started forward, holding
and robbing each passenger as they pro-
ceeded There we're only six passen-
gers in the Slactes am. ciHht persons in
the st. Paul coach. One man with two
cooked revolyers covered" the passcn-
gers, while his partner robbed them.
From Kansas City gentleman, who was
in the sleeper with his wife and young
lady, they got $50 and a fine gold watch
From another man they secured silver
watch, and from another s. in silver,
getting out Of the two coaches about
Sl75 in cash, one gold and one silver
watch, and some small articles of Jew.
cIry. AS soon as all had been relieved
OF their valuables the daring robbers
backed out of the front door of the car,
being careful to keep their shooting
irons pointed toward the helpless tray
elers. They stepped on the platform,
and just as they were about to enter the
Illinois Central coach Conductor Reese
came out of the door, being ON his first
trip through the train to collect fares
He was greeted with Throw up your
hands, lie did not Immediately obey,
thinking at first that the demand was
made by some of the train men in ioll-
ing manner. lie was quickly undc-
ceived, however, for the order was i'm
mediatcly repeated in more forciblc lam
guage. Reese, as soon as he realized
that he was really face to face
with two desperate train robbers,
determined to defend the train
load OF passengers entrusted to
his keeping and at once grapplcd with
them. Using his lighted lantern as a
weapon, he struck one of them over the
head, and a scuiilc ensued. The rob
bers had their revolvers in their hands
all the time, and two shots were fired by
them at the plucky conductor. lie kept
them so busy, however, in defending
themselves that their aim was faulty,
and neither shot took effect, While
Conductor Reese was fighting the rob
bers one of the passengers in the st.
Paul coach who had been robbed, pulled
the air-brakc cord and the train slack,
ened its speed. This gave the young
outlaws an opportunity to escape, which
they were not slow to take advantage
of, breaking away from the grasp of
Conductor Reese, then jumped from the
platform.
