WRECKED by TRAIN ROBBERS.
A Passenger Train Derailed at Robbcr's
Cut-All Passengers Escape.

Cut-AII Passengers Escape.
SEDALIA, Mo-, November Train
No. 3 west bound on the Missouri
Pacific was wrecked by train robbers
three miles east Of Otteryille, near the
notorious Robbers Cut, at 2:iO this
morning. The train consisted OF seven
coaches, including mail, express and
baggage. The robbers had removed the
spiked bolts and fish plates for dis
tance OF three rail lengths and placed
crow bars under the rails so that they
would spread. When the train
touched the l0oScncd rails it
Jumped the track, broke loose
from the tender and ran fifty feet
on the ties and turned over. Fireman
Lyons Jumped and escaped injury. En-
gineer John Boyd stuck to his post and
received a severe wound on the back OF
his head, and his hand badly cut. The
tender turned across the track, tossing
part Of the mail thirty feet. There
were four postal clerks in the car, and
all were slightly Injured. The baggage
and express cars were completely
wrecked The smoker, which was
filled with passengers. was turned up
side down, and the car badly smashed.
Strange to say not one was seriously
injured. The train was going only
about eighteen miles an hour when the
engine struck the looscned rails. to
which fact is due the miraculous escape
of the passengers and the train crew.
A significant fact in connection with
the wreck is that Detectives Frank
ttand VIM. Barrett, OF the Missouri
Pacific Secret Service, and several wit
nesses in the noted case Of the Otter
Vile train robbery were on the train.
They were en- route to Otterville to
testify in the case Of Hughes and Huff
man. the men arrested from the Rob
bers Cut" robbery. whose trial was to
have been commenced to-day.
Ii is thought to be possible that the
accomplices Of the prisoner wrecked
the train in order to put these witnesses
ont Of the way. Detectives Tut and
Barrett started from the scene OF the
disaster Immediately after the occur
renee of the wreck to work upon the
case. No clue as to the Identity OF the
robbers has a yet been discovered.

WHOLE TOWN WIPED OUT.
Fire Destroys Kentucky village-Four
Hundred Persons Homeless,

PETERSBURG, I'D, November "A
terrible conflagration occurred at Wins
low, town of Pike county, this State.
this morning. The whole town has
been wiped out of existence. The
houses were all frame structures. and
the fire spread with such rapidity that
all the efforts Of people to extingush it
proved unavailing. Not n house is left
standing, and four hundred persons are
homeless. There is no fire department,
and no provision was made for such A
sudden calamity. How the fire origi-
mated has not been ascertained, but IL is
supposed to have been caused by de-
fectiye ilue. Several OF the houses
were close together, and once the fire
had made some hcadway it was impossi-
bic to Isolate it. There will be much
suffering among the people.

The official returns from the First die

Republican Congressman in Wisconsin,
Haugan in the Eighth district, who has
about 1000 majority, and Bailey, the
Democratic candidate, who threatens to
make a contest. The Republicans suf-
fer a net loss of six Congressman, besides
the Legislature, which will probably
elect ex-Sccretary Villas, to succeed SEN

That LITTLE Tickling

In vour throat, which makes you cough
once in while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as catarrh is constitutional 1lsease
the spot. What you need is a constitution
al remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
neople who have taken this medicine for
scrofula. dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and
other troubles, have been surprised that it
shoule cure this troublesome cough; But
20 Irnow the actual cause of the cough is to
solve the mystery. Many cases of con-
sumption can be traced back to the neglect
of some such slight affection as this. Con-
sumption can be controlled in its early
stages, and the effect of Hoods Sarsapar-
lila in purifying the blood, building up tne
faint which is the cause of catarrh and con-
sumption. has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded dis
ease seemed TO have firm hold.

LONDON, November THE Lancet,
in referring to the fact that DR.. Samuel
q. Dixon, of Philadelphia, claims that
he discovered the method of curing con.
sumption by incubation before Prof.
Koch, says: Glow easy matter ii is to
claim priority, but how difficult to sub
stantiatc il is shown by DR.. DiXon's
claim in support Of his contention that
he established a tolerance in animals for
tubercular bacillus. DR.. Dixon men
tions he had met with success in pre-
venting the susceptibility to phthisis
by inoculatinS the animals with what he
believed to be an unsuSal form of tubcr-
cular bacillus. and that he had succeed
ed in producing a marked mOrphologi-
cal change in this bacillus, doing this
by subiecting it to different degrees of
temperature, moisture, pressure and
changes in food stufS.
"AS, however, DR.. Dixon is unable to
say how this immunity was procured,
as he refers it entirely to the chemical
products of the tubercular bacillus re-
naming and acting on the It's
sues of the body, while his modified
bacilli are killed in the tissues, and as
the experiments are vague and bring for
ward no points not already known. it is
TO be feared that DR.. Dixon'S claim for
the priority of discovery and publica-
tion must. for the present, remain in
abeyancc."

under the admirable management OF the

is doing a most benevolent and charitable
work. More room for inmates is needed

BLESSED is he that considercth the poor;
the Lord will deliver him in time OF

keep him alive; and he shall be blessed

after in our shop free traders will re-
ceive free traders wages"
Mr.. Warwick, for voting for whom
