Daring Train Robbery in DAKOTA.

DEADwooD, S. D, July 3I.-At 8
O'Clock last night, as the west bound pas
senger train was pulling out Of Arabia, a
small town two miles east of Valentine,
on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val.
ley Railway, two masked men stepped
from the ladies' toilet room on the car
next to the sleeper with the command,
Hands up" aud proceeded to levy con-
tributions. The startled passengers at
hrst thought 1t was a joke. but when two
leveied ~revolvers emphasized the com.
mand they discovered it was a reality.
One OF the robbers stood in the passage
way With bis u leveled on the passep-
gers, while the other, with an empty sack
with It's mouth open held in each hand,
with his cooked revolver, commanded the
passengers to throw their money into the
sack. While this was being complied
with a brakeman entered the car, but
made a hasty retreat when the robber on
guard shot at him. The ball missed
It's mark, but shattered the glass
door OF the adjoining sleeper
and imbedded itself in The
paneling ofthe smoking saloon. One of
the passengers, w. Q. Albright, of juno
ton City, Kan, dropped his money on
the floor and placed his foot on it, there
by saving it, and threw some small change
into the sack. Other passengers had
the presence of mind to do the same, and
the robbers secured only about SIS.
They they commanded the conductor to
slow up the train aud left near Thatcher
station. Evidently accomplices were
waiting Tor them, as a horseman was seen
On a knoll close by. Only two shots we're
fired, both at the brakeman. The rob.
bers got on the train at Long Pine and
bad tickets for Arabia. They left the
train for a few minutes at the latter place
with a small satchel. They returned
without it, but masked and heavily
armed. They are aged respectively about
20 and &c years, of medium stature and
light co~mplexioned. A posse from Val
entine is now searching for them.

The Irrigation scheme.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-An answer
to the inquiries in regard to irrigation
surveys contained in a recent senate reso-
luton was sent to the senate today by
Secretary Noble. He states that the di
rector of the geological survey is actually
surveying and marking the bound
aries of the sites for the reser-
yoirs by him selected under the
act of 1888, and the tracts so segregated
are so marked that they can be discev-
cred on the ground and delineated on the
lane office maps as reservoir site selec.
tons. Only 80 much land has in each
Instance been reserved as is intended TO
be used for the storage of water. 1t is
not Intended, the secretary says, that the
surveys and selections under the act of
1888 shall be carried to the extent Of
planning a system of canals, bitches.
checks and burrows for the distribution of
water over the farms which it is deemed
the people, when they come to cultivate
these lands, can better do themselves.
The general purpose and plan of the de.
partment, the secretary says. is to pre-
serve the sources of water supply from
the possession or appropriation OF indi-
viduals or corporations. 1t is believed,
he says, to be the duty of his department,
so long as this statute remains to enforce
1t, that its fruits at least In the preserva-
ton of the sources and reservoirs of
water may be kept under either national

THE RIDE INTO KENTUCKY.
A Travellers Impressions of the Famou.
Blue Grsss REGIONS

ArAfeiern Impresstona of the Famous
Blue Grass Regions.
All the way from Washington till 1
struck the heat Of Kentucky the farmer
In me was unhappy; he saw hardly a
o of land that he would like to call
his own. But that remnant of the wild
man OF b woods, which most of us still
carry, saw much that delighted him.
especially down the New river, where
the rocks and the water and the steep
forest clad mountains were as wild and
as savage as anything he had known
In his early Darwinian ages. But when
we emerged upon the banks of the Great
kanawha the man Of the woods lost his
interest and the man of the fields saw
little that was comforting.
When we cross the line into Kentucky.
l said, we shall see a change. But no,
we did not. The farmer still groaned in
spirit; no thrifty farms, no substantial
homes, no neat villages, no good roads
anywhere, but squalor and sterility on
every hand. Nearly all the afternoon
we rode through a country like the
er parts of New England, unredeemed
by anything like New England thrift.
1t was a country of coal, a very new
country. geologically speaking, and the
top soil did not seem to have had time
to become deepened and enriched by
vegetable mold.
Near shutdown, as I glanced out of the
window, 1 thought 1 began to see a
change. Presently l was very sure 1 did.
1t began to appear in the more grassy
character of the woods. Then I caught
sight of peculiarly soft and uniform
grassy patches here and there in the
open Then in a few moments more the
train had fairly shot us into the edge of
the blue grass region, and the farmer in
me began to be on the alert. We had
passed in a ~twinkling from a portion of
the earth's surface which is new, which
is Of yesterday, to a portion which is of
the oldest, from the carboniferous to the
lower silurian. Here upon this lower 81
lurian the earth that saw and nourished
the great monsters and dragons was
growing the delicate blue grass. 1t had
taken all these millions upon millions Of
years to prepare the way for this little
plant to grow to perfection.
l thought / had never seen fields and
low hills look SO soft in the twilight;
they seemed clad in greenish gray fur.
As We neared Mount Sterling how fat
and smooth the lane looked; what long,
even, gently flowing lines against the
fading western sky, broken here and
there by herds Of slowly grazing or else
reposing and Illuminating cattlei What
peace and plenty it suggested From a
land raw and crude and bitter like I'M
ripe fruit we had suddenly been trans
ported into the midst of n ripe and
mellow with the fullness of time. 1t
was sweet to look upon. I was seized
with a strong desire to go forth and taste
it by a stroll through it in the twilight.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness In merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low price,;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge of the prices without
seeing the clothes.
