A STOLEN SWITCH,
A Bighwayman Robs O Young
Lady OF Her TresseS.

Miss Cora Brandenburg, of Peoria,
Ill.,, now on a visit to friends in Mime
apolis, on Bloomington avenue, has had
a rather sensational experience. On
last Thursday evening she had occasion
to go to Hicks drug store. On Franklin
avenue. to procure a prescription for
one of her friends, who is ill in
the house. After finishing her pur-
chase she started back toward the
house, and after proceeding some little
distance, found that short, heavily
built man was following her. Becom-
ing startled, she started to run, and the
man took after her. catching her just as
they reached the church at the corner
of Bloomington avenue and Twenty
seventh street. Selling her roughly. in
spite of her resistance. he wound a
cloth tightly over her mouth and
dragged her into the shadow of the
church. Here the wretch deliberately
took from his pocket pair of shears
and cut off her hair close to her head.
Then he retreated hastily around the
corner of the buildinr. and no trace has
been since found of him. The young
lady was terribly frightened at the
time, and feels her loss keenly, as she
was the possesSor of head of beautiful
blonde hair reaching below her waist.

JOHN THE BAPTIST.
He Was Not ga Popular Preach
CIR" in His Day,

At the Calvary Baptist church yester-
day morning Rev. G. l.. Morrill, consid-
cred the character of John the Baptist.
Jesus eulogy of John, he said, places
him above all mental and moral heroes
who preceded him. Communion with
God in personal and official life made
him leader. Sympathy with human
ity enabled him to lift souls heaTenward
to the Lamb of God.' lie was not a
popular preacher" to cry ''peace"
when there was none, but to thunder
repent" and call those who had not
to a knowledge of the yiper's blood in
their veins.
By his challenge of Herod's moral
integrity he lost his head. but saved his
soul. Better any day to be martyr
for the right than simply pay the debt
of nature.
Johns spirit is needed now to break
down walls of unwise conservatism in
religion, education and government.
The echo of his voice should reach
men and measures which are Satanic no
matter how labeled.
Things are either right or wrong.
Souls are repentent or impenitent. If
the time spent in creed quibbling was
devoted to the cultivation 'of John
Baptist spirit the whole world would
soon be prepared to crown Christ Lord
of all.

ALBANY, N Y, Sept. 9-The 6 o'clock
train out of New York, due here at $50
last night, was thirty minutes late and as
this train is usually on time it looked sIis-
picious, and the news gatherers were inn
mediately at work to ascertain the facts.
Nothing could be obtained from the rail
way officials, but at 1l:30 passenger was
found who had talked with the trainmen
on the belated train. His story was high
ly sensational and was to the effect that
at point called Old Troy, near Ham
burg, the train was stopped 50 quickly
that the passengers were thrown from
their seats. There was great excitement,
the people on the train believing that
there WAS another accident.
Warned of an Obstruction
The cause, however, was the appear
ance of a trackman with a red lantern and
with blood streaming from a wound in his
shoulder. The engineer said he heard
several shots fired and then saw the man

his red lantern, started to stop the train.
In an instant several shots rang out and
one took effect in the trackman's shout

about 100 yards south of the obstruction.
According to the description of the barri=

near Albany on Thursday night.
The Official Report on the Case.
An official report just received shows
that the obstruction was not placed like
the one at Albany. There is culvert at
this point and into the culvert were
damned seven heavy ties. These ties
were placed so that the butts pointed to-
wards the approaching train, and if the
engine had struck il the ties would have
been driven in harder and the train would
have gone into the river The obstruc-
ton was not removed at midnight and the
trains were being switched on other
tracks.

The Union was hugging itself with Joy
this morning on account of the passage
in the house Of the alien contract labor
bill, and says it is another pledge the
party redeemed, and adds another page to
the long volume of its achievements.
Whenever the republican patty redeems
promise it strikes the Eighteenth street
organ in such manner as to draw forth
Its wonder and applause. But as will be
seen in another column of this paper, the
newly passed alien labor bill is sailing
along in the same boat with the eight
hour bill also recently passed. 1t is ad-
mitted in Washington by those who are
deeply and directly interested In the pas
sage of these measures that as result Of
bungling legislation they cannot be ex-
celled. That they will do any good has
already been decided in the negative.
That they will both do harm is conceded
on every side, except by those who wish
to keep up delusion. There is no hon-
estY in this course, and the republicans
who uphold these useless measures do so
unwittlngly or else to give color to the
diea of active legislation.
