TRAIN ROBBERIES.

The growing frequency of train rob-
berries, and the success of the perpetra-
tors, is becoming a serious matter to
the railroads and express companies.
If continued it will have an effect upon
passenger traffic. AS rule the traveller
housed in the comfortable railroad car
is tImid. He has no ambition to get in
the way of careless bullets. A few shots
in the case of the robberies are usually
directed at the passenger cars to increase
the timidity and deter any aggressive
disposition. There is, however, an i'm
partiality in the selection of roads and
localities for the robberies that is con-
fusing to those who have supposed that
secluded and frontier roads are the most
exposed TO these attacks. Some of the
most recent and successful have oc-
CURED in the suburbs of large cities.
There are indications that there may be
organized bands who have means of
acquiring information of the conditions
and contents of express safes. The exact
location selected and all the accessories
of success are no doubt carefully
planned. 1t seems to be much safer
than house-breaking. and the rewards
greater. The burglar does sometimes
collide with bullet from a pistol in the
hands of the disturbed householder, but
insurance policies OH the lives of train
robbers can hardly be regarded as extra
hazardous. How to bring disaster to
this new and troublesome industry is a
question that is likely to be forced to
grave deliberation. The safes that can
not be blown open are not in use. Per-
haps they cannot be made. Bullet-proof
cars might be had; but these wreekers
are artists in the use of dynamite and
other explosives. Could there be an in
stance of the shooting down of a gang
in the midst of their work the lesson
might be salutary. but, as it is, no rail-
road can feel sure of immunity from
these attacks.

Giving the Girls a Weigh.

Sioux City Qa) Journal
They had church soeiabIe at Cali
fOrnia junction the other night, and the
young ladies were sold at so much per
pound for the benefit of the church.
The girls were anxious to make for the
church, and several young men found
their purchases loaded down with fiat
irons. One young fellow bought little
girl that ordinarily would weigh about
ninety pounds, and was surprised to see
the scales register 275, costing him about
five dollars The young men passed
resolutions eondemning the girls for
sw.ldling.

WHAT THE BABY DREAMED.

Baby had a dream this morning,
In his rock-a bye,
With his little downy blanket
Pulled up 10 his eye.
With his pink thumb for his dinner,
And his funny toes
Cuddied up like little rose leaves
Around baby rose.
Shall tell you what his dream was;
Wonder how know?
Why, little tattIing sparrow
Came and told me so.
Baby dreamed he was in heaven,
Way up in the sky.
And he wasn't one bit frightened
Being up so hight
Baby thought an angel held him
While he plucked the stars
They were only daisy blossoms
Fringed with golden bars
Baby dreamed he caught the mooabeams.
Tied them to kite
And let it sail away 10 Never
On the rim of Night.
Baby dreamed the clouds were nothing
But big feather-beds.
Where the little angels tumbled
AND stood on their heads.
Baby thought the moon was iu.
~ bubble in the night
With gas jet burning III it,
Making it so bright.
/ Wasn't ne cunning rascal
Naughty little elf
Lying there and fixing all things
just to suit himself?

son Thanksgiving day the st. Paul
GLOBE came out in a boom edition
which is the best specimen of that kind
of journalism that we have yet seen. If
this number were translated into Scan
dinavian and German and distributed
among those about to become emigrants,

many as we could wish to come to this
state. 1t might pay TO try the expert

SKILLED IN POISONS.
Indians Who Obtain Results I'm
known to Modern Medical Sci



enCe.
Chicago Herald
Among the Cree and SalteauX Indians
the administration of deadly polsons has
been reduced to an exact Scince. These
tribes never go on the war path. They
have not learDed the use of the sealping
knife and tomahaWk. Such thing as
shooting from ambush never occurs.
When Cree or SalteauX Indian gets
ready TO dispose OF an enemy or rival
he conSults the coHjurer of the tribe,
and that individual deals out DOiSonS
that are not known in any other place
on earth. These polSOnS battle the most
Sklllful doctors and chemists.
British army surgeons who have eX-
amlned victims of the Cree and SalteauX
poiSoners say that the deadly mixtures
used by them are absolutely unknown
to science. Missionaries and trapperS
who came to Winnipeg with stories OF
the fatal liquids were not believed.
The only way they convinced the doc
tors was by taking several victims be-
fore board of examining surgeons.
These poiSOns are brewed i'll the most
mysterious mannea by the old cOnjurerS
of the tribes. That is their chiet Occu-
patton. They go into the forests alone
and come back to their wigwams with
strange herbs and barks, which are con-
verted into liquids that work terrible
execution among the bucks singled out
for death. No remedy has ever been
found to operate against these drugs.
Death invariably follows, sometimes
swiftly and with awful agony, but more
frequently after the lapse OF months of
dreadful suffering.
Some of these pOisonS operate in the
most mysterious manner. One OF the
drugs i'll common use causes great sores
to appear on the face and body of the
victim. No matter what season of the
year this poison IS given, its effects are
not visible until spring. Then the sores
appear. After while these sores would
apparently dry up and scales appear.
When these scales drop off great tufts
of hair spring from the sores. Then
death follows.

Robbed the Grand.

Some thieves got away with a valua-
bic piece of stage furniture at the Grand
night before last. They stole the
spark box" The spark box" is an
electrical contrivance that is used to
light the : gas in the house when the
electric lights fail to work. OF course
it is not needed when the electrical
plant is all right, but should that part
of the lighting arrangement give out
the house would have to be lighted with
a torch. The thieves took with the
spark box" about five miles of copper
wire. The value of the purloined prop
erty was nearly $500.

Merriam for "Vice ',

Minneapolis Tribune.
The st. Paul GLOBE nominated, and
came mighty near eleeting Gov. Merriam
nomination is a good one. but we have
been warned to look out for Greeks
bearing gifts. While all suggestions will
probably be considered by the Repub-
lean convention. no matter from what
source they come, it is hardly probable
that the delegates will jump at proDo-
sitlon so ardently advocated by Demo
cratic newspaper. Perhaps the GLOBE
will agree to support the Republican
ticket if its candidate for vice president
is placed upon it; in such case-wellI !
the convention might think the matter

with unusual care when about to be carried
to the guillotine. Such monstrous love of

for ner husbands pardon, should take time.
