BAUY CLEW.
A Chicago Policeman Was q Lit.
tie Too Previous i'm Break
ing i'm a Door.

While abiding to the police depart
ment, says the Chicago Herald, it
might be we'll TO recall a good story
that is told on Lieutenant Baus, an
active and Jealous officer, who has
since been retired. When Baus was
a patrolman he was always on the
lookout for the commission of some
horrible crime. He seemed to have a
penchant for The murder line, and if
he heard an unusual noise he was
sure that it would be followed by
some horrible discovery. One night,
while patrolling his beat with his ears
wide open, he heard the screams of a
woman, loud and many, in the upper
story of a house near by. Baus
thought that bis chance had come at
last, and that kind fate had destined
him to be the rescuer and saviour
of some delicate female from a
tragic end. Grasping his club
firmly with one hand and getting his
revolver ready for immediate use,
like a chivalrous knight Grant he
broke into a double quick run and
entered the house whence the un-
earthly shrieks were proceeding. He
rushed upstairs, kicked open the
door and there he saw tive men bend
ing over the PROSTATE form of a
woman.
"You scoundrels," he shouted.
"There must be a murder here"
One of the men turned around and
when he saw the angry blue-coated
minon of the law he took in the whole
situation. This man was the family
doctor. He advanced to Baus, who
was now beginning to see that ne had
made a mistake, and said: Ssh,
officer. There is no murder here.
We are simply preparing for an in
crease in this gentlemaD's family"
For a long time afterwards this
murder" episode was standing joke
on the conscientious and loyal patrol.

Yesterday afternoon Mayor E. w.
Stevens, of Sedalis, Mo-, registered at
the Coates house. Mayor Stevens
SAYS that the excitement over the
Otterville train robbery has pretty
nearly died out. In his opinion the
robbery was accomplished by local
talent.
sin the vicinity of Otterville and
Upton can be found some bad men.
They would not hesitate to attack a
train and their knowledge of the sur
roundings would make escape easy.
They could leave the scene of the
robbery and by a circuitous route
they could reach their homes inside
of forty minutes. The only way to
have captured them would have been
to send out q searching party to fol.
lowithem before the travel on the
highways had obliterated all traces of
the route taken by the robbers.
You will remember that it had been
raining just before the robbery and
the conditions were favorable for fol-
lowing on their trail if the pursuers
could have reached the spot few
hours earlier. As to the amount
taken a friend of mine, who is in a
position to know, says that the express

DO the Otterville Train Robbers
Reside in the Vicinity of
Clifton City!
A Stranger Makes Two Trips
That Might be Investigated
With Profit.
Some Railroad Papers Discovered
i'm the Vicinity-A Chance
For De Long.

Do the Ottervllle train robbers re-
side in the neighborhood of Clifton
City?
The interrogation is timely, in the
face of a story that came to the
BAzoo last evening.
On Saturday evening, previous to
the 'shold up" a horseman, a
stranger, passed the farm ofMr. Neal,
who resides two miles east OF Clifton
City. The fellow was seen by Jim
Shy and another farm laborer, and
the later says he would be able to
identify the individual. 1t was be-
tween 4 and 5 o'clock in the after
noon when the party rode by, and he
was on the road that leads direct to
Otterville. :.
Nothing was thought of the matter
at the time, but when the same 10
dividual passed along the same road
at B o'clock the next morning, two
hours after the robbery, on the re-
turn trip, Mr.. Shy and his friend
called to mind the trip Of the previous
evening.
At that time nothing was known
in the Neal neighborhood of the OF
terville affair, but later in the day it
became public property and consider
able excitement was created.
The two trips of the solitary horse
man were then called to mind by the
members of Mr.. Meals family, and
they became satisfied in their own
minds that the stranger was impli-
Gated in the robbery. He had ridden
across the country from some point
north OF Clifton City to Otter.
vile, a distance of some ten miles,
and was joined there by his associates
in the crime. The robbery perpe-
trated, the bandits struck out for
home, and the particular one spoken
of passed Mr.. Meals house as stated.
Another circumstance that goes to
confirm the Neal family in their be-
lief that the individual referred to
was implicated in the robbery is the
fact that along the road where the
stranger passed there was found, few
days ago, some railroad papers that it
is believed were taken from Messsen-
ger Avery's car on the morning of the
robbery.
This information was yester-
day impaired by Mr.. Shy to
his brothe1-in-law, FrankL. Rob-
bins, and the latter related it
to BAzoo reporter last evening.
There are people living near Gift
ton City who are satisfied
that another individual re-
siding in that neighborhoed could
give all the details of the robbery if
he would. This party owns a small
patch of land, but has never been
known to do any great amount of
work. He leaves home at intervals,
ostensibly on hunting trips, but his
exact whereabouts while absent are
never made public. He always has
money, and where and how be gets it
are two things that have caused his
neighbors to wonder not a little. Sum-
day morning Of the robbery this party
visited Clifton City and began inquir-
ing in regard to the hold-up before
any person there was aware that there
was anything wrong. How this indi-
vidual obtained his information is
something that is pulling his neigh
bors, and they think if a shrewd de-
tective was put to work in the Clifton
City neighborhood he would eventu-
ally make q ten strike.

OF COURSE IT DOES.

1t is asserted as a fact that there are
Republicans who have really been in
duced to credit the statement at times
made by hard-pressed advocates of pro-
lection that the duty comes out of the
foreign seller of imported goods, and
not the consumer. One in st. Louis a
few days ago seriously asseverated that
his party paper was not wandering from
the fact in making the claim. A tariff
reformer proposed that the question be
left to the decision of a Republican
merchant Of the city, who isa large i'm
porter. This was agreed to, and the
matter laid before him. He stated that
the practice with his house, as with all
large dealers, was to keep an agent in
Europe to make the purchases. aud he
showed the receipts tor the duties paid
the st. Louis customs collector. This
amount, he said, was at once added to
the cost of the goods. and came out OF
the consumer. This is always the case
and seems so palpabIe that it is difficult
to see how any other idea could have

it does seem shame and act of down.

THE FLAG PROTECTED.

Even the flag was in danger of being
too cheap. Republicans have wanted it
over the school houses and pretty much
everything of late, and it must have
protection. 1t will be remembered that

took occasion to tell the merchants eX-
change that he had always been pro-
tectioniSt,' and that the platform could
not get too high for him. He has been
remembered in the MCKINLEY bill.
Before its passage his bunting had
tariff benefit of So per cent, be-
sides 10 cents yard. The revised
act gives his infant industry addl-
tional encouragement, with duty
of 30 per cent. besides A cents

the flag is worth more than ever before
to him. There is no suggestion of the
odious impecuniosity that is so nau-
seating to the great men who are now
building the tariff walls about the coun-
try. If the flag does not often appear
above ocean travellers. and is becoming
unfamiliar to those who observe the
commerce of the world, the heart may
be allowed to swell q little over the fact
that the producers Of the fabric have
ample protection.

The sugar juggiery in the MCKINLEY
system is one of the points the cam
paigners dwell upon to sweeten the pill.
The effort would be more fruitful if they
had put on the free list the table sugar
instead of the raw article used by the
refners' trust. The trust is the chief
beneficiary of the reduced tariff on
sugar. The tax it has been paying is
now to be shifted to the people in the
way of bounty to the producers. The
sugar used by the people will cost them
as much as ever, but they will not see
how the trick works. The price may be
reduced, but they will have to pay the
money into the treasury that goes out
in bounties. This will be on the crop
of Louisiana alone, taking the last
figures, S6.377, 900. With the exactions
of the refining trust and the bounty the
cost of the sugar used by the people
will be actually greater than it has been,
and the president may restore the tariff
when the trust is supplied with raw
sugar.

wAsHBURN,s CANDIDATE.

1t is VIGOROUSLY a fact that, in the
senatorial race between Mr.. BENEDICT
and Mr.. STEVENS. the latter is relying
on the help he is receiving from Sem
ator WAsHBURN. 1t is perfectly
natural that Mr.. WAsHBURS should
feel under obligations to Mr.. STEVENS,
and should render him help in this can
vass. Mr.. STEVENS is manly respon-
sible for Mr.. WAsHRURN's election to
the senate. AS member of the last
legislature Mr.. STEVENS did everything
in his power to promote Mr.. WASH
BURNS election. He worked for him in
season and out of season. and if it had
not been for Mr.. STEVENS efforts
WAsHBURN would have been defeated.
Of course st. Paul suffered the conSe-
quences of Mr.. STEVENS devotion to
WAsHBURN in the late census troubles.
But that does not deter WAsHBURN
