WEST POINT, Miss, Nov. 3O.-The
express car on the west bound train Of
the Georgis Pacific was robbed near
Indianola last night, and the robbers
were captured here this afternoon and

. red bandanna handkerchief over his
face as mask, effected an entrance in
to the mail car and covered the mail

in use on small roads, one-half the car
being devoted to the express agent,

About $3.50 was secured. When the
train reached West Point information
was given and officers started in pursuit.

Heat and moisture together seem to be
the conditions most favorable to It's oc.

vents the radiation of heat from the
body, and thermal fever or sunstroke,

ing Of the blood, producing chemical or
fermentive changes in Il which are
inimiCal to health and even to life
When, therefore, during the heated

IS no TIE HARUIsONs.

ln The matter of recent investments
Ivy The Ilarrisons. their family conuea
tions and dependents. we wish TO state
that TIE CRTIc takes no stock ia Oh,
dCnunCiations which some Democrati,
journals have seen it to launch. Their,
is norcason why Mr.. Harrison should ID
denied the right to spend his own money
in any lawful and proper way, still lea.
Why any Of his family and friend,
should.
Indeed, we recognize q special iusti,
fCation when the investment takes the
form of a suburban residence, as in the
case Of ex.President Cleveland. for
nothing is more generally conceded
than The proposition that the Executive
Mansion is an inconvcuient If not an un.
wholesome dwelling place during the
summer months We do not 90 as far
az Mrs. Harrison did in her remark,
TO the Philadelphia Press some weeks
ago, and complain that the house
is too small. II is not our understand.
ing that the Government Is to run a
regular family hotel for the President.
with accommodations for the whole lot
oi fathers in law, sisters. cousins aunts.
grandchildren, etc. etc, but we do
hold that the residence should be health
ful and of the best sanitary construc.
tion and arrangement. When. there
fore. a President declares his purpose
Of buying or building a country resi-
aence for use during the heated term.
we may deplore the parsimouy of Con.
CTess which imposes the expenditure
upon the President, but we think him
wise in his generation and fully within
Z, III the equities and the prophecies In
in what he does.
The only comment that occurs [,
Us In the connection IS that the Har.
risOns are now doing precisely what
they criticized eN President Cleveland
for doing and this under circumstances
of some doubt as 10 thcit ultimate pur.
pose To The transaction 10 Is said that
the idea is not speculation, though we
ee no reason why this concerns tho
public at present The semi.oflicial
paIers declare that the Harrisons
really intend building and occupying
asuOurban o. residence on their new prop
sriy, aud that the tuneful Halfdrd cher.
ishes the same intention Nothing Is
said about the White House employe.
NJ. Crook, or about the engaging and
accomplished White House type writer,
10th Of whom are In the deal: but We
assume that all propose TO build them
villas by the purling and pellucld Po-
tomac. All this is interesting informa.
ton, but we maintain, quite beside the
question. II Is nobody's business what
the Harrisons do with their own money.
provided It be done In lawful way.
Nobody has the right to ask for expla.
nations or, falling to receive them, TO
Indulge In condemnation wantonly.
The two acts of which the country
has right TO complain IN the Harri-
sons, are their acceptance Of the gift
cottage at Cape May and their criticism
Of Dir. Cleveland for doing exactly
what they did within few weeks after
that criticism was published.

SAW A GRIZZLY.
Then Tie Climbed In Tree and
Waited for His Comrade.


Fron Hatp0s UecUg
Early in March, 1857 a party Of
friends, all old buffalo hunters, now
living and prominent citizens Of Wichita
and Great Bend, in Kansas, were
oamped in Paradise Valley, then a
famous rendezvous Of the animals they
were after. One day, when out on the
range stalking. and widely separated
from each other. an awful blizzard
came up. Three reached camp without
much difficulty, but he who was the
farthest away was fairly caught In if.
and, night coming on, was compelled
to resort TO a method frequently cn.
ployed by persons lost on the plains
Luckily he soon found a supcranuated
bull that had been abandoned by the
herd, and killing him took ont the
visccra and himself crawled inside the
huge beast where he lay comparatively
comfortable until morning the storm
having cleared or and the sun shining
brightly. But when he attempted to-
get out, found himself a prisoner. the
immense ribs Of the creature having
frozen together, and locked him up as
tightly as if he were in a cell Fortu-
nately his friends, who were searching
for him and firing Off their rifles-which
he heard, and yelled out to them-dis-
covered and released him from his pecu.
liar nredicament.
At another time two old plainsmen
were away M the Platte among the
foothills hunting buffalo, and they. as
is generally the case, became separated.
In an hour OF two one killed fat young
COW, and leaving his rifle on the ground,
went up and commenced to skin her.
While busily engaged in the work, he
suddenly beard, right behind him a
suppressed sort of a snort. and looking
around, saw to his dismay a monstrous
grizzly ambling along in that animals
characteristic style, within few feet of
him.
In front. only few rods away. there
happened to be a clump Of scrubby
pines, and he incUntinently made a
break for them, climbing into the tall
est in less time than Il requires 10 write
Of II. The bear deliberately ate
hearty meal Oft the cow, and when he
bad satiated himself quietly lay down
alongside of the carcass and went TO
sleep, keeping one eve probably on the
hunter Corralled in the tree. In the early
evening his partner came TO the spot,
killed the bear-which, full Of buffalo,
was sluggish and unwary-and became
an easy victim, and the unwilling visitor
came down from his perch The last
time ! saw him be told me he still had
the bears hide, which he kept as
memento of his foolishness in sepa.
rating himself from his rifle. a thing
he had never done before or since. and
which no hunter should be guilty OF.
