A FAST TRAM WRECKED.
WOUld-8e Robbers Loosen the
Rails in a Cut Near
OffeYUHle.

Train No. 3, west-bound on the
Missouri Pacific, was wrecked by
train robbers three miles east of OF
terville, near the notorious Robbers
cut, at 2:40 o'clock last Friday
morning.
The train consisted of seven
coaches, including mail, express and
baggage. The robbers had removed
the spikes, bolts, and fishplates for
distance of three rail lengths, and
placed crow bars under the rails so
that they would spread. When the
engine touched the looseLed rails, it
jumped the track, broke loose from
from the tender and ran fifty feet on
the ties and turned over.
Fireman Lyons jumped and escap-
ed injury. Engineer John Boyd
remained at his post and received
severe wound on the back OF his
head and had his hand badly cut.
The tender turned across the
track, throwing part of the mail
car thirty feet to the side of the
track. There were four postal clerks
in the car and all were slightly
injured, j. d. McCarty, one of them,
receiving severe injury to his right
leg.
The baggage and express cars
were completely wrecked. The
smoker behind them, which was
filed with passengers, was turned
upside down and badly smash
ed up yet not one of the occu-
pants wss seriously injured. The
two chair cars jumped the track and
did not turn over. The Pullman
was the only coach that remained
on the track. The reason that many
were not killed and injured was due
to the fact that the train had been
stopped at short distance from the
wreck to make repeir on the en-
gine and when the engine struck the
loosened rails the train was moving
at only about fifteen miles an hour.
A special train was sent from Sedalla
point to carry the passengers of the
wrecked train to Kansas City. The
fast mail train from st. Louis was
delayed many hours on account Of
the wreck.

A Dismal Time.

Congress will meet again In 8
month. 1t Is the Ffty-frst congress
the one that passed the Mckinley
blll-the bill which 1t wishes 1t had
never had anything to do with. The
meeting will be a dismal one. Four
fifths of the members who constitute
the Republican majority will bear
marks of the drubblng they received
in Tuesdays's election, and they
will be in little humor for anything
else than rubbing their bruises. The
administration will feel particularly
sore, for the drubbing fell with full
force upon it. The election was the
first occasion for submitting its
policy to the country, and the con-
dign condemnation which the coun-
Try passed upon 1t will not be a
pleasant load for it to carry through
the remaining two years of its term.

WOMEN AND MICE.

The reason why O woman is afraid OF
mouse is n profound mystery-indced. it has
never been very clearly proven that she is.
But some women are constantly in such
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause of
this unfortunate state Of affairs is usually
some functional derangement; some distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, it may he due to Inflammation, ul-
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic yiscera, or to other organic LESSONS
peculiar TO her sex. From whichever cause
it may arise, DIR. Piercc's Favoritc Prescrip-
tion is a positive remedy, so certain in its
curative results that its manufacturers sell
it, through druggists, under a guarantee OF
its giving satisfaction in every case. or
money paid for it will be promptly re
funded. AS soothing and strengthening
nervine, Fayorite Prescription is une-
gIIaled and is invaluable in allaying and suh-
DUNG nervous cXcitabiity, irritability, cx-
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms COM
monty attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. 1t induces refreshing
sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de-
spondency.

A Brave Girl's act.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., March 10 There
is one brave girl in Charlotte. She is
Miss Lula Smith, the pretty little
fourteen year old daughter of Sheriff q.
$. Smith, of this county. At 5 o'clock
this afternoon Miss Lula was playing
near the Jail with some other children,
when she happened TO see a prisoner
slide out of the jail through newly made
hole in the wall. The little Miss knew
that would never do, 80 she ran quickly
to the side of the Jail aud picked up 8
big stone. She began to pound second
kinky head, poked neatly through The
hole, and in the act of escaping, Only
few licks were necessary to drive the
prisoner back. Standing by the hole on
Che inside of the Jail were dozen pris
oners ready to crawl through the hole
and escape, but the little woman stood
guard at the outside, dared them to poke
out their heads. She gave the alarm,
and soon her father vas on the scene
and the prisoners all locked up in their
cells. By some means or other the pris.
oners had cut hole through the thick
brick wall, and had it not been for Miss
Lula a wholesale delivery would have
resulted. The prisoner that succeeded
in getting away was negro boy, in for q
trifing ofense.

They Didn't Agree on Religion.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 4.-Mr. John
Willis, a widower, highly respected in
Mclean County, marrie(. Mrs. Ellie
Pinkston a couple of days ago. A we'd
ding supper was served at Mr.. Willis's
home, to which large number of guests
were invited. Advent merrily until late
in the evening, when q discussion arose
about religion, and Dir. Willis found that
be and his bride differed on some cardi-
nal points of doctrine. The discussion
got decidedly warm, and the company
one by one withdrew, as things began to
grow unpleasant, so that the pair were
left with only sister of Mr.. Willis in the
house.
This sister, after silence of half an
hour bad followed the war of words,
named the hour and suggested that it was
time to retire. Mrs Willis, warmed 10
her subject again, and declared that she
was not going 10 retire 10 that house that
night or any other night.
Her husband offered to withdraw the
unparliamentary language he had used in
debate, but the proposition was not
accepted Every entreaty failed, and the
irate woman whose religious convictions
had not been respected in the house OF
her husband sat stock still in her chair
until daylight, when she set out on foot
for her former home, refusing to be &C.
companied by nybody, or to ride q horse,
which her husband offered her.
The minister of her church has endea-
vortd to get her to return to her husband,
and the latter has offered to bind himself
soul and body never to mention religion
again in her presence, but she refuses to
entertain any proposition looking to q
reconci!ation.-Ne,y York Herald.

To Sew On Buttons,

"When I get bright idea Ialways
want to pass it along," said lady who
sat watching young girl sewing. "Do
your buttons ever come off, Lena 7''
"Eyerl They're always doing it. They
are ironed of, washed off and pulled off
until l despair. seem to abcd buttons
at every STEP"
Make USE of these TITO hints When you
are sewing them Oh, and see if they make
any difference:
When you begin, before you lay the
buttons on the cloth, put the thread
through so that the kaot will be on the
right side. That leaves it under the but.
ton, and prevents it from being worn or
ironed away, aud thus beginning the
looseniDg process. Then before you be.
gin sewing, lay large pin across the
button so that all your threads will 60
over the pin. After you have finished
filling the holes with thread, draw ont
the pin and wind your thread round and
round beneath the button. That makes
compact stem to sustain the possible
pulling and wear of the button hole. It
is no exaggeration to say that none of
my buttons come of, and lam sure yours
won't if you use my method of sewing.

An ARectionate Bird.

The gauder as friendly bird, acting
the part of faithful companion and pro.
tector, is revelation.
Naturalists have evidently neglected
the study of the tender side of the gan.
der's nature.
1t is General Philip Cook, the Secre.
tary of the State, WHO sets the gander
right before the public hy telling the fol.
lowing story
II saw" said General Cuok. yesterday,
"a statement in the Constitution about
some geese carrying water around il
gourds. That story is good, but / can
beat ii"
There lived in Macon County," con-
tinued the General, "some years ago q
gentleman who is dead now. But for
years before he died he bad gander
that was wonderful bird. The gentle.
man lived in Montezuma; WAS rich and
of great intellectual force, but before he
died he lost his money, and then took to
taking a drop too much. About that
time great big white gander attached
himself to the judge, and they were
never seen apart. The gander would
follow the judge about like dog, and
when he entered house the gander
would sit on the front step and wait
until he came out.
"When the gentleman, as it sometimes
happened, was overcome by his toddy,
the big bird would sit by until he recov-
cred, and If anybody came near he had
the gander to fight. He'd blow and puff
worse than dog, and nobody wanted to
tackle him.
"The gentleman was devoted to his
companion and fed him just as regularly
as he eat himself. When he went from
Montezuma to 0glethorpe long trestle
had to be crossed, ard that bird would
follow the gentleman ACROSS every time.
"There are hundreds of people in Ma.
con County who remember the gentle.
man and his gander perfectly, and they
will all vouch for the truth Of the story"
