HE WAS A SLICK ONE,
But He Died With His Boots On. just
the Same.

KANSAS CITY, March IA stranger
about4 o'clock Saturday evening en-
tered Hicks q 0aphert's bank at VAL
ley Falls, Kansas, and asked permission
Of Cashier Cohen, who was at work, to
await the arrival OF the president Of the
bank. The request was granted and
the stranger sat down. He had been
there but few moments when hecom-
planned Of the toothache and asked to
be allowed to go inside the railing to
the stove. The cashier, suspecting moth
ing, also granted this request.
The stranger quietly occupied the
seat until the cashier, having complet-
ed his work, entered the vault to lock
up the money and the books. Then
the stranger jumped up and leveling
a pair of revolvers at the cashier coolly
gave him the alternative of handing
over $4,000 or being shut up in the
vault, which meant suffocation and
death. After parleying for some
time the cashier handed over $500
and the robber pocketed the money,
locked the front door of the bank, made
his exit by the rear door and skipped.
He did not take the key of the front
door with him, however, and 1t was
only q moment before the cashier
rushed out and gave the alarm.
The whole town turned out, but the
robber had made good his escape. Tele-
grams were sent to all surrounding
towns by the sheriff, and late in the
night, as the operator at Meriden was re-
ceiving one of these very kilograms, q
stranger entered the office, and going up
to the railing remarked: "I'm slick
'un." The operator looked up when the
telegram was completed, and what was
his surprise to see the very man whose
description was contained in the tele-
gram.
The stranger inquired the time of the
next train to Atchison, and wanted to
know where he could put up for the
night. The operator directed him to q
hotel where he took q room, asking to
be called about 5 o'clock in the morn
ing in time for the Atchison train. The
operator informed local police officers
of his suspicious, and when the "slick
'un" decended to the Office at 5 in the
morning, he was confronted by the
police officers with Winchester rifles
pointed squarely at his breast, and the
man quivered. "Throw up your hands" ("
commanded one of the officers, but the
stranger, instead of obeying orders,
threw u hand into either side pocket
to draw the revolvers. AS he made
the motion both Winchester rifles were
discharged at his breast, one bullet 60
ing through his heart and the other
through his lung. The officers were
exonerated, self-defense being their ex.
cuse. The stolen money was found
distributed through the robbers pock.

ASLEEP ON DUTY!
Fearful Wreck Near Mansfield.

MANSFIELD, o., March "a disaster
Gus freight wreck occurred little west
of Lakeville and eighteen miles east of
this city, at o'clock this morning.
Three railroad men and thousands of
dollars worth of property were con-
sumed by the fire, which broke out i'm
mediately after the accident.
The third section Of west-bound
freight train No. 50 became disabled
and had to stop. A fagman was sent
out to protect the rear end, but accord
ing to the report of this fagman, the
following train paid no attention to
him, but instead, kept on without q de-
crease of speed until it crashed into the
caboose of the train ahead. The engine
plowed its way through the caboose to
q tank car loaded with gasoline. An
explosion followed and burning gaso-
line was thrown over the debris, which
took fire and burned fiercely.
On the engine of the fourth section
were engineer John Cowan, fireman
Harvey Galehans and head brakeman
Edward Miller. The supposition is that
they We're all asleep when they passed
the fiagman, and did not wake up in
time to jump. Ifthey were awakened
at all, they remained on the engine, and
it is supposed they received fatal injur-
les when the crash came, but when the
bodiss Of the engineer and brakeman
were found, they were roasted. Gale
hans body was burned, and was not
found until after the fire abated. Cow
an and Miller were married and resided
at Alliance. Each had two children.
Gslehans was unmarried and lived at
Doylestown.
The fire, fed by the oil in two other
tank cars, burned rapidly, and in q
short time had consumed twenty cars
and the ties on about five hundred feel
of track. So intense was the heat thai
the steel rails were twisted out of shape
and the bell on the buried engine wal
melted. The track was so completely
blocked that local freight and passen
ger traffic was stopped on both side
for about fourteen hours. Through
passenger trains were sent around tn,
wreck via this city, Creston and Orr
vile. The damage caused cannot b.
estimated at present.

Danger of Acquiring the Morphine
Habit.

Professor Dujardin- -Beaumetz, Paris,
France, in a recent lecture at the
Cochin Hospital, Paris, France, on the
treatment of nervous diseases said: /
need not here speak of the advantages
and dangers of morphine. Ihave many
times discussed this subject, showing
that If morphine is an admirable anal
gesic medicament, it is also the most
dangerous of all by reason of the fact
that the patient becomes accustomed to
and dependent on the morphine iniec-
tions, and ends in becoming a NOR
phiomaniac.
1t may be affirmed that morhiomania
has become one of the vices of the day,
and we may almost lay it down as a
rule that any patient who for thirty
consecutive days takes morphine in
jections will ever after be a victim to
the habit, even when the symptoms OF
the primary malady shall have COM
pletely disappeared; and it will thence
forth be a matter of no little difficulty
to cure the morphine habit, now be-
come disease more rebellious than the
affection for which these injections were
first ordered.
The number of morphiomaniacs in
creases every day, and this deplorable
vice exists in all classes of society,
Unfortunately, our own profession is
not exempt from this abuse, and know
quite a number of medical confreres
who have been or are still victims OF
morphine.

About the only thing which Presid emit
Harrison will be able to boast of when he re-
tires from the White house in 1892, says the
Washington correspondent of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. will be the fact that he has by
proclamation admitted more new Sta tes than
any of his predecessors. Last spring, with a
quill made from the tail feather of an
eagle shot in North Dakota, he signed the
proclamation admitting the Dakotas, and
when the year was in the sere and yellow
leaf he proclaimed the admission OF WASH
ington and Montana. He will also undoubt-
edly have an opportunity to proclaim the adj
mission of Wyoming, Idaho and possibly
New Mexico before the end of the present
congress. But while it is true that the
United States flag on July 4nextwill contain
forty-two stars it is equally true that at the
end of the next year that flag will be hauled
down from every government vessel, every
naval station, militay post and government
building in the country and consigned to the
store,ooms of the war department. Three
new stars win have to be pinned to the star
spanRled banner and this revision will give
to Ben Buffers bunting factory another gi-
gantic job. His factory is making the new
flags to be foated July 4 and it will also
manufacture their successors.

tBThe enemy is placing much stress up
on this or that Democrat who will bolt the
caucus decision on the redistricting bill when
it comes to final passage. No Democrat will
be guilty of such thing. The caucus de-
cision should stand, and when the test comes
it is our belief that our common enemy will
be surprised at the unanimity of the Demo-
cratic Legislators. The redistricting bill
should be passed at once, so that it may be
well out of the way for other important busi-
ness before the adjournment day.

Postmaster of the House of Representatives.
He took the house unfurnished and had his

probably stand him $125 or more additional.
Mr.. Boothman has four children, all here

@-The territory of Alaska is constantly
winning its way as a wealth producing sec
ton of the United States. Capitalists are be-
ing led toward its vast lands with a view to
developing mines and other industries. In
fact the civilization of Alaska has moro than
commenced; it is progressing fast. The re-
cent contract entered into between the gov

over one million dollars annually from the

islands, schools, houses and provisions. The
former revenue from this industry was only
about $500, 900 annually. The gain of the
present contract, in q measure, represents
theincreased valuation Of Alaskan resources
to this government. The time is coming
when there will be a corresponding increase
in the value of the products of the whole

The Great West, at one time the
idolized Alliance organ, is now ter
ribly down on r. J. Hall, Secretary
Lathrop and other leaders of the
Alliance. We quote the following
from a recent number of that paper:
"This office has the most convincing
evidence that the Hall-Lathrop-
Sprague combine was a corrupt affili-
alton with the tyrant capitalists of
this country to break down the labor
and granger agitation. A carriage
has been at their disposal almost
every Sunday for the past four weeks,
in st. Paul, and the conferences have
generally been in a st. Paul bank.
These poor, weak and unbalanced men
may not know what the attention and
control of these st. Paul men mean.
Hall and Lathrop are weak business
men who are easily controlled by these
prideful aristorats. Hall has the
faculty of covering his profound ig-
norance under a calm exterior
Lathrop is an aged calf with neither
brains nor dignity. Sprague knows
what is what and buys and sells
