Ernress Rnhharu Ia ranas

DEL Rio, Tex, September six masked
men held up an express train on the South
ern Pacific at Samuel, a small station. They
hdded the express and baggage cars with
Winchester bullets, but hit no one. They
exploded dynamite to blow open the the ex-
press car.
All the money and valuables in the safe in
the express car were secured by the robbers,
as well as several sacks of mail and regis
tered packages from the mail car. The
amount of money obtained cannot be learned,
but it will doubtless reach into the tens of
thousands.
The train was delayed several hours. The
robbers took their time IN doing the job, and
with the utmost GOODNESS and exhibition of
great nerve. Horses were in readiness for
them, and on the completion of their work
the bandits rode rapidly away, and are now
in Mexico, beyond the reach of the author

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Central Branch is running spe-
cial wheat trains as a regular thing

On account of increasing business
the B. & NJ have put on another freight
between Concordia and Wymore.
Leavenworth Standard: Superintend-
ent Halstead says that steel rails to lay
forty miles of track are now on the road.
the force with which to do the work is
fully organized, and the work Of LAYING
them on the Kansas Central will begin
in few days.
Atehison Champion: Local passen-
ger traffic is light, but the railroads are
doing a good business from eastern
points. The trans from the east are
now loaded with passengers every morn
ing. The Hannibal & st. Joseph has
brought-more passen gers into Atchison
this week than it has for a correspond
ing length Of time in two years. Most
OF them go out on the Central Branch
to look for locations.
Topeka Capital: The railroad COM
missioners have received assurances
from the officers in charge of the Kansas
Central railroad that forty-fiVe miles OF
steel rails are in transit, and that the
work of re-laying the track of that road
will be commenced at once and prose-
cuted with vigor by a competent force
until the whole line is re-laid. This
matter has been the subject of CORE
spondence and negotiation between the
commissioners and the railroad officials
all summer.
The Santa Fe route is now engaged
In advertising Kansas throughout the
east. They will soon bring MANY ex-
cursioDs to the state. Cheap excursion
tickets will be sold from Chicago. st.
Louis, and from points east of those
cities, and also from points in Illinois.

TENDER 10, and September 20; all good
for thirty days. The great crop Weld.
and the extensive advertising being
done by the Santa Fe, will bring thou-
sands of excursiOnists to the state next
month
Rock, Sumner county, letter: The
scarcity of laboring men on the Santa
Fe is exciting considerable apprehen-
sion. Section toremen are unable to
secure track men, and in some places.
where they have to do all of the work
themselves or let it go neglected, the
track is in a deplorable condition.
Bridge and construction forces have
been rapidly reduced and the managers
are unable to supplement their losses.
The railroad supervisors have a propo-
sition under consideration as to whether
they shall offer higher wages or send to
Oklahoma for colored labor. Even with
an increase of 10 or 20 cents a day, It is
not evident that sufficient numbers can
be secured to supply the deficiency.
The abundant amount of labor on the
farm but Inadequately supplied is doubt
less the chief eause OF the present short
age. 1t Is no unusual spectacle to ses
a vagrant, apparently disconsOlate and
work, pursued and sometimes
inplored in vain TO go TO work on the
farm or the track at the same compen-
sation awarded known and honorable
laborers.

COLUMBUS. o., September 4.-Great inter
est is manifested by the leaders of both par
ties IN the coming debate between Major
Mckinley and Governor Campbell. The re-
pubhcans are inclined to believe that the
ofer Of Mr.. Campbell is only a bluff. It is
amuhing how people talk about the possible
outcome as they nre sWayed by craftsmanship
or prejudice. That one will wipe up the
sarth with the other, in common parIance, Is
the universal verdict. whether it be democrat
or republican who speaks.
McKinley's friends have great faith in his
ability, but Campbell's supporters have an
unwaverinR confidence in their man. The
republicans say that Campbell is bright,
cunning fellow. but no match on the same
platform with the heavy weight tariff cham
pion- according to republican opinions the
governor Is good at any time for a clever,
snappy talk of fifteen minutes in length, but
alter that his efforts become labored.
Certainly on the tariff question Mckinley

life study, and he is familiar with every oe-
tai OF the subject. He Is also we'll posted on
the financial issue.

probably the most enthusiastic democrat in
Columbus. It was born in him and he i'm
bibes it daily from his illustrious father.
wait till Nainpb gets at Mckinley"
SAID he, "the major will not know where he
Is standing. The governor is one of the
most original men I ever met. His mind
works like chain lightning. Always cool and
self possessed. he can 60 to the bottom of
an ordinary subject IN a twinkling. He is
quick in device and repartee. Did you ever
see Campbell on the stump? He is like a
whirlwind. He never repeats the same
speech, but day after day he has something
new for the people. When Campbell enters
the lists you newspaper men will have some
thing to write about and SO the democratic
leaders talked.
We'll" said Major Mckinley, 'if Gov
ernor Campbell and I don't meet in JOINT
debate at Ada it won't be my fault. / think
the governor will be there and that he means
business l suppose such meeting will
draw a great crowd of people"
incidentally the major remarked that he
liked his work IN congress, but a republican
in the next house will be wasting time. If
the legislature Is republican this fall the
state will be redistricted, and McKinley's old
bailiwiek will be restored, with n view to re-
turning him to congress as rebuke to the
democrats for turning him out. Until some
constitutional provision is made in Ohio a
series of gerrymanders can be expected in
the future, according to the politics Of the
legislature.

STOCK AND FARM.

Atchison Globe: Amos Howell, a big
farmer living near Huron. has leased
400 acres of his land for three years at
81, 400 per year. He will probably come
to Atchison to live.
Spring Hill New Era: Wash. God
frey was up from Paola last week with
some potatoes; reported that he had
eight acres of potatoes that would aver
age $50 bushels per acre.
Jewell City Republican: Cooper
Pound drove through town with a
four-hOrse load of new wheat which he
raised on the Fay place, few miles
northeast of town. 1t yielded 23a bush
els per acre.
Emporia Republican: W. A. Ran
dolph sold a 4-year-old gelding last
year for $500. The horse went to
Chambersburg, Pa, and was there
trained. He showed mile in 2:20a on
July 30, and was sold for $4,000 to B.
@. Bingham, of Hartford, Conn.
Axtell Anchor: The farmers in this
vicinity are making arrangements to
SOW a large amount of fall wheat.
There are a large number of No. 1
farmers in Murray township, and if
they go in for raising a wheat crop
they are bound to succeed. for the
crop will be well put in and taken
care of.
Gem letter: Joseph McAdams. Of
Rawlins county, had a very small
amount of seed oats last spring and
prepared the ground very carefully,
sowing LAT pounds of seed. He
threshed the crop this week and as a
result measured out 367 bushels of
class oats. If anyone has better
record we would like to hear of it.

GRAND Forks, N. D.. September.-A con-
siderable portion of the wheat grown In
Grand Forks and adjoining counties will be
handled through the Northwestern Farmers
Protective association. The organization
now has upwards of 500 members with large
accessions expected.
Osman Thoraldson. the manager of the
association, has secured a guarantee from
General Superintendent Case, of the Great
Northern, that that company will furnish ali
the cars that may be needed. The line of
Red river barges will be brought into requl-
fition, and from points accessible to the
river wheat will be brought by barge to the
Grand Forks river elevator and loaded, the
Great Northern placing it on the cars for ~
cents per bushel. This wheat will probably
be shipped to West Superior and sold or
stored, as Mr.. Thoraldson may determine.
That gentleman has already established head
this fall, and erect an elevator for the associ-
alton for the next year.

kitchen like chickens. never missing an
opportunity to run into the house. He
found a nest OF eggs last spring and
put them under a hen. The hen
hatched the eggs ard took care of the
quails until they were full grown. Mr..
Anderson says they will remain with
the chickens as long as they live He
has raised them before.
LeavenWorth Standard: The contract
to supply 100 cars of coal, made bv the
superintendent OF the Haskell Indian
school at Lawrence, Kan, with William
Culbertson, agent of the Rich Hill, No.
company, has been annulled by Assist
ant Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Belt, and new bids will be asked for.
This work is due to the efforts of the
local mine owners and Senator Plumb,
to whom the representations were made.
The difference in price was so cents per

bidder. Local bidders will now have
another chance.

WAsHINdroN, d. c., September A-Captain
Anderson, of the Sixth cavalry, the acting
superintendent of the Yellowstone National
park, has submitted to the secretary of the
interior his report for the last fiscal year. He
says that very few fires have been started in
the park during the year ana these have been
extinguished before any damage of conse-
quence had been done. The old roads are in
good condition and satisfactory progress is
being made in the construction of the new
one authorized by the act of March 3, 1891.
Hotel accommodations are very satisfactory.
For the most part, says Captain Anderson,
the lakes and tho rivers of the park are liter
ally alive with trout. He has never seen, he
says, 80 many fish elsewhere as there are in
the shoal waters near the borders of the Vel
lowstone lake. Buffalo and other wild ami
mails are on the increase, the elk now num-
bering about 25,O0O. The buffalo probably
number from 300 to 400 head.

LONDON, September "a dispatch from
Treves says that the holy coat pilgrims have
to undergo irritating hardships during their
stay IN that city. The weather is so warm that
living in the ordinary manner would be suf-
hciently uncomfortable, but it is made much
more SO by the way in which the people are
crowded together. Two or three beds in one
small room is the rule, but in some cases il
Is worse. one landlady having crowded nine
teen beds in three moderate sized rooms.
For accommodation of this kind the charge
is sbillings a night. Food is about three
times the usual price, and all sorts of souvenirs
of the ''holy coat" are on sale in all mate
rails from gold to wood. Every second
house is a restaurant or beer shop. and one
beer shop bears the name of ''The Holy Coat
of Treves."
In order to facilitate the exhibition, the
papal order that every pilgrim is to say five
pater nosters before the relic in order to OBJ
tain absolutiOn, has been altered by tho
bishop so now each pilgrim may say them
during his march through the cathedral.

HeathenishI

A couple who did not move in the
most exalted social circles of River
mouth, Mass, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony upon the day
which followed the funeral of the first
wife of the groom. The conventional
sense of propriety in the neighborhood
was shocked by this haste. and upon
the night of the wedding there was a
gathering to serenade the pair. The
charivari was at its height. when the
bride appeared darkly at the window.
"Ain't you ashamed she cried. in

THERE seems to be no occasion for
any hard feeling because the word
"SheeneY" has been given q place in
the Century Dictionary. 1t is the aim
of that publication to be as nearly
complete as possible, to give the mean
ing of all English words in use. No
one can deny that the word ~Sheeney"
is in use, and that it is commonly en-
ployed now in the sense which is at
tributed to it in the Century Diction-
airy. Whether it ought to be so used
or not is another question. 1t is a
question, in fact, as any sensible Jew
viii admit, with which the dictionary
has nothing to do. The word Dago al
so appears in the same work, and the
word Yankee. To drop any of those
words from the dictionary on the
ground that they were an insult to the
people to whom they refer would be
the sheerest nonsense.
