The WORLD has never been consider
ed a "boom" organ but we heartily ell
dorse every word of the following from
the Scott County News:
Kansas farm lands will never again be
as cheap as they are now. The rapidly
increasing demand for farms will soon
make those desiring them wish they had
bought before it was too late. 1t will be
the farms and not the city lots that will
next take boom.

We have been requested by a SUBJ
scriber to state through the World from
whence Capt. Trego Post derived its
name. We are informed by the best au-
thority obtainable, and it is doubtless
correct, that it was named in honor OF
Captain Trego, a member OF Governor
Martins regiment. He was killed at the
battle of Chicamauga. Trego county, we
will add, was named in honor of the same
man.

EXPRESS CAR LOOTED.
Bold Work of Train Robbers
Near st. Louis.
They Use Dynamite and Secure
Over $4,000 Booty.

A bold and successful train robbery took
place on the st. Louis and San Francisco
road near Glendale station, about ten miles
from st. Louis, Mo-, shortly before 10 o'clock
few nights ago. The robbers had their
plans well laid, and they escaped with money
and valuableS amounting to $50 900. and
possibly more. The Adams Express Com
pany was the victim. The men used
dynamite with fearful effect. Six men
took part in TIE robbery. When the train
reached Old Orchard it is supposed that four
men boarded the express car, two of them
climbing the front platform and two Of
them the rear The other two, it is be-
heved, boarded the train at Glendale.
Shortly after the train left Glendale two men
silently made their way over the heaps of
coal In the tender toward the engine
cab. As soon as they secured good footing
they opened the heavy duck shield which
does duty as door during the cold season,
and placing revolvers at the heads of the
engineer and fireman, with a stern voice
said: Hold up your hands" When this
was done. the spokesman said to the engi-
neer, Wagner: stop the train" And the
engineer complied with alacrity.
AS soon as the train came to a standstiII
the engineer and fireman were taken to the
express car. In the meantime the express
messenger, who had suspected that some
thing was wrong, had closed and bolted the
uOoTS Oh Cne car ana stood inside ready to
defend the property intrusted to his care
But the odds were against him and the Door
fellow was fatally shot
When the two robbers had piloted the en-
gineer and fireman to the car they placed
them under guard and began, first by per-
suaslve means, to try to induce Messenger
Mulrenen to open the door of the car. But
the latter was obdurate. A stick Of the ex-
ploslve was then placed against the car and
the fuse lighted. In quarter
OF minute loud chang" reverberated
through the surrounding woods, and flying
splnters Indicated that the dynamite had
performed its mission. AS the door fell in
the robbers entered the car and taking the
key from the messenger, soon had the safe
open. Everything in the safe was taken and
also the messengers gold watch and chain.
Estimates as to the amount secured vary
widely, ranging from $40, 900 to $50, 900.
w lille two of the robbers were doing the
work at the express car, the other four
bandits kept the remainder of the train
crew and passengers in state of
terror by firing their guns Fourteen
shots were fired into the smoking-car. but
fortunately none of its inmates was
hurt. The railroad officials believe that one
OF the robbers is a railroad man. as he is
said to have instructed the fireman not to
put any more coal in the furnace. A large
posse made "a search for the bandits, and the
city officers strained every nerve to uncover
the hiding place Of the outlaws.

HANGED THEIR CORPORAL,
British Soldiers Getting Tired of
Petty Persecution.

There was much excitement in England
upon the receipt of intelligence from Alder
shot, where is situated a great British
military camp and barracks that a spirit
of murderous characterization was prevalent
in one Of the regiments stationed at that
place. Taken in connection with the in
subordination which has been dis
played in the Guards which some time
ago resulted in the practical deportation to
Bermuda of a whole battalion of the Gren-
adler Guards, and which was followed by a
revolt in the Coldstream Guards, the affair
at Aldershot might be construed as another
exhibition of the discomfort which is alleged
to prevail in all branches of the Ii .Eish SER
vice.
It appears that corporal of the Second
battalion of the Prince of Wales Leinster
Regiment Royal Canadians, which battal-
ion is at present doing duty at Aldershot,
had by his petty tyrannies rendered himself
an object of peculiar aversion to the men.
The complaints of the privates were I'M
needed and they determined to rid them
selves of the corporal. AS he was going his
rounds he was seized by the men, dragged to
q convenient spot, a moose thrown around
his neck and strung up to tree. The free
end of the rope was made fast and the self
appointed executioners decaIaped.
The corporal had been hanging only q
short time when sergeant discovered him
and cut the rope. The corporal was nearly
dead. and it required the most strenuous eff
forts on the part of the surgeons to resusci-
tate him
