BOLD BANDITS IN MISSOURI
They Ride Into Cordera and PIunde
Bank In Broad Daylight.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept "A daring
and successful bank robbery took
place at Cordera, small station on
the Chicago & Alton railway, near
lligginsville, Lafayette county.
Cordera is small town and the
American bank, branch of the Hig-
ginsvllle bank of the same name, is a
small one. 1t has only two regular
employees, a cashier and a book keeper.
The book-keeper was out on business
at 2:30 o'clock when two men rode up
to the bank, dismounted, walked into
the building. shut the door and locked
it before the cashier took notice of
what was going on.
When the latter did take notice he
saw two revolvers leyeled at his head.
At the same time one of the men COM
manded him to throw up his hands.
He obeyed. One of the men kept him
covered with n revolver while the other
went through the bank. He secured
only $500 in currency representing the
receipts of the day and a small balance
which was not included in Saturday s
remittance to the parent bank at Hiy
ginsville.
Having obtained all the money in
sight the robbers mounted their horses
and fled in the direction of Lexington.
Officers are in pursuit.

1T has been forced upon the atten-
ton of nominally Christian people
that neither God nor nature created a
pauper nor denied to their creatures
an abundance of LIES necessaries.
The lesson of this truth has led to the
admission that human suffering must
be traced to mans inhumanity to man.
Accepting the logic, the man OF
wealth is appalled, at the outlook. II
is impossible even for the most veal
thy to appreciably minimize the suf-
fering by which they are constantly
surrounded. Simple arguments dem
onstrate that such an attempt would
result only in increasing by one, at
least the number of claimants for
public charity.

A MATURE woman who has not re-
spect enough for the dignity of her
sex to cast off dolls and pinafores.
paregoric and pantalets in names
ought to be reminded that the quality
of intellectual force thus indicated is
not quite enough for the teachers
rank. The marvel is that women do
not themselves feel the danger of in
viting familiarity by tolerating pet
names after they are grown beyond the
age of kitties and doggies. No woman
of high breeding would permit any
one except members of her own family
to address her by her childhood's
name. 1t is the more surprising be-
cause many of the names belittled into
contempt are themselves so fine, so
rich in reminiscence, so inspiring to
high ideal and worthy self-esteem.

SHE ATE MATCHES,
Mrs. Henry Roy Employs strang,
Means Of Suicide.

On cAoo, Sept. 3.-Mrs. Henry Roy
died at the German hospital at o'clock
this morning from poisoning by phos-
phorus. She lived with her husband
ut fl5 Dearborn avenue and for some
unaccountlble reason tried last
Wednesday to xii herself by eating
matches. Phosphorus though a viru-
lent poison acts very slowly
and the effects of her effort to
kill herself did no. become apparent
until yesterday afternoon, when she
became terribly ill. She was at once
removed to the German hospital for
treatment Lr. Freer had her case in
charge, but owing to tine length of
time the poison had been in her system
he could do nothing, and she died in
great agony. The woman was -
years of age, and no reason for the act
can be assigned. The coroner will hold
an m ucst o'er the body at d? o'clock
this afternoon.

THE imposing of dignified obliga-
ton on those who are in need will give
them more strength than the humility
of accepting outright gifts. To be
sure, there are many cases where a
promise to pay would be OF little
avail, but in many instances the
trust would be respected and the
obligation met The gain by this
method would be twofold. The objects
of charity would receive the same ma
terial benefit and in many instances
much greater moral encouragement
The payment of goodly portion of
these loans would make any given
charity fund go much further. One
finds pleasure in letting his fancy fol-
low the devious ways and varied SER
vices OF sum set aside for such a pur-
pose to be reapplied on its return.

NOT ASUB-TREAsURY DEFEAT.
The Missouri Convention Simply Re-

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 2.-Senator
Peffer returned from Iowa last night
and to-day consulted with about a
dozen of the Alliance statesmen on the
effect the sub-treasury defeat in Mis-
souri, would have on the policy of tho
new party. Saturday night when tho
news was brought that the Missouri
Alliance had defeated the sub-treasury
scheme the third-party politicians adj
mitted their surprise.
The Missouri alliance" said Sena-
tor PETER to-day, "has done the correct
thing. The sub treasury scheme is
proposition for the people to decide
and they will go right. The sub-treas.
ury advocates had enough votes IN the
convention to have carried the plan,
but they disappointed the politicians
by allowing the sub alliances to settle
the question. The sub-treasury scheme
was not defeated. 1t was simply re-
ferred to the sub-alliances Had IL
been a convention of democrats or
republicans with a majority they would
have fastened their idea on the people
and the people would have been com
PEELED to submit.
1.-THE action of the Missouri conven-
ton will result in delay, but the alli-
ance states will all have acted on the
sub-treasury plan in time for the cam
paign of 1892.
~ think the Cincinnati platform
will be practically the one on which
the campaign will be fought by the
peoples party. There is this to say
about the South: So long as the ALI
ance gave the old bourbon leaders no
trouble the farmers were slapped on
the back and told we are with you;
whatever the farmers do is good
enough for u.s. As soon, however, as
the farmers began to assert themselves
the Tillmans and Gordons discovered
that their principles were antagonistic
to American institutions. They now
allege that the sub-treasury and gov.
ernment control of railway PROPOSE
tions are deep-seated paternalism.
The famers can be depended upon to
take care of the sub-treasury sch enc. +"
