DARING TRAIN ROBBERY,
100000 Taken From the Milwaukee
& St. Paul Express Car
The Most Daring Robbery of Late Years.

The midnight train on the Milwaukee
& ST. Paul road was robbed near Western
Union junction at one o'clock this morn
ing by seven masked men. The robbers
boarded the train at Western Union
junction and when about one mile from
the station they climbed on to the engine,
and covering the engineer, Bill Mckay,
with shot guns, commanded him to bring
the train to stop. The robbers then
blew open the express car with bombs and
robbed the safes of the American express
company of money and valuables to the
amount Of 100000 The passengers
were not disturbed. This train robbery
is one Of the boldest and most successful
of late years.

Mutability of Creeds.


An event occasioning slight sensation in
some churches was the result of a declara-
ton Of Rev. Judson Ellsworth pastor of
Plymouth Congregational church. Mil
waukee. At the close Of a course of lee
lures on Sunday evening, Nov. l. hissub-
ject being The Old Theology and the
New" he declared his disbelief in an ev-
erlasting hell: Gods goodness incompata-
BILE with eternal torture
This declaration of one of the leading
clergymen Of the Congregational churches
N the State, is chiefly remarkable for its
boldness of utterance. What the senti-
ments of clergymen olassed as orthodox
may be on this doctrine in these later
times is not easy to say. The subject of
a lake of unquenchable fire was little
less than century ago, a common theme
for the pulpit; but in these later years it
is not dwelt upon and hardly alluded to.
If there be a hell of fire III which the
wicked Will be cast and suffer tortures
which no tongue can describe through the
countless cycles of eternity, how can
clergymen refrain from SO proclalming il?
If the doctrine be true, then it is one of
the most fundamental of all for warning
the human race to find deliverance from
doom SO fearful to contemplate, If Rev.,
Ellsworth should be arraigned for heresy,
Will his tribunal be composed of ministers
who never impress the doctrine Of lake
of fire and birthstone awaiting the I'M
repentant? There is at the present time
more than usual agitation in respect to
doctrinal questions among those regarded
the leading opponents Of orthodox theolo-
gy. Creeds once considered settled are
undergoing notifications and changes.
The Westminster Confession of Faith, :"
formulated nearly a hundred and fifty
years ago, and which was the accepted
standard of churches known as orthodox
in this country, began to be questioned
many years ago; some of its Objectionable
teachings have been eliminated and be-
liefs more acceptable to modern ideas
have been substituted Without discuss
ing what has been gained or lost by the
abandonment of old and long accepted
standards of theological belief, it is only
to show that creeds Of human devising
are subject to radical change like all else
human It is not the province of a polit-
ical newspaper to discuss and express
opinions on the merits of the subjects here
spoken of; they are given as matters of
news and of general interest.

The Relapse of a Kelley Patient.

The death from alcoholism of Col.
John F. Mines, L. L. D., in New York
will attract almost as much attention as
his arCicIe on the Kelley cure for drunk
enness in The North american Reoteao for
October. In that article Col Mines de-
scribed his life in DR.. Keeley's institute at
Dwight, and testified to his own complete
emancipation from the craving for drink.
The article was we'll written, and it's
authors JOY over his newly-acquired free
dom gave it very cheerful tone. It was
reprinted in many newspapers.
1t was in April last that Col. Mines
treatment began, and since day in April,
when he took some whiskey by Dr.
Keeley's advice until about two weeks
ago, he has drunk nothing. Two weeks
ago Col. Mines began to drink again. On
Wednesday last he was found drunk in
the gutter, was sent to the workhouse on
Blackwell's island, and died there Thurs
day morning.
OF course a great deal will be made of
this story. The public, which is watch
ing the Kelley cure with interest, will
give dG lGdSG DIS uluCn dGDcuGlOu DIS IL Oc-
serves to the case of every backslider. 1t
should be remembered, however, that the
backsliders are few, and that the publici-
ty given by Col Mines to his reformation
may easily make his relapse seem more
important than it is. The Kelley cure
processes only to take away the appetite
for liquor, not to prevent its being
acquired again. How Col. Mines began
to drink again is not known. He seems
to have begun suddenly, to have had the
old thirst return upon him with rush.
He was a willing patient, and had not
tasted drink for two months before his
treatment began.
Probably the physicians who saw Col.
Mines die, if they knew of what DR..
KeeleY's remedy consisted, might do
something toward explaining it's failure in
this case, and toward deciding whether,
after all, it is anything more than the
most powerful means yet employed of
strengthening drunkard's weak will.

Dear Irish Boy.

Few new plays have upon their first
presentation received a more gratifying
reception than that accorded to sThe
Dear Irish Boy" The play was written
by Mr.. Dan Mccarthy, and the scene is
laid in Ireland. Mike McClutchey is the
name of the ':star" character, and Mike is
not the kind of fellow one would care to
be associated with. He isn't the dear
Irish boy. The play is composed of Sc
ries of dramatic situations and comedy
scenes which follow each other in rapid
succession. There's a murder, accusa-
tons, prosecutions, and sprinkling OF
dancing. Gus. Reynolds takes the lead
ing role aud the company surrounding
him is said to be strong combination.
The Dear Irish Boy with strong COM
pany will appear at Rhodes opera house
Friday evening.

DIR. PALMER SENTENCED.
He Gets One Year at Waupun.

DR.. Chas. n. Palmer, the Raymond
physician and politician who was charged
by Postmaster Christianson of that town
with having entered the village store and
post office one Saturday night of last
August with burglarious intent was be-
fore the Circuit court at Racine last Mon
day and plead guilty to the charge. DR..
Palmer appeared, accompanied by his
wife and attorney, Fl. A. Cooper. Judge
Hand stated that DR.. Palmer was to plead
and having read the information, Judge
Fish asked Palmer what he had to say to
the accusation. Guilty your honor, !"
replied the doctor, and he dropped into a
chair and wept like child. Sentence
deferred until two o'clock Tuesday when
Palmer was again brought before the
court. DR.. Rowell made an eloquent ap-
peal for the accused, referring to his
weakened physical condition owing to the
excessive use Of oniates. Attorney Cooper
also plead for the minimum penalty, one
year in prison. The prisoner was then
ordered to stand up and the judge asked
if be had anything to say and he answered,
No, sir. Judge Fish in his remarks
alluded freely to the past honorable rec
ord of the prisoner and said that in his
opinion the minimum punishment was
sufficient. He sentenced DR.. Palmer to
the State prison for one year, at hard Ia
bor beginning at II o'clock Wednesday.
The prisoner said Il thank your honor,
and sat down in chair and wept, as did
his wife. Later he had an affecting part
ing with his wife in the sheriff's office.
The sheriff left for Waupun with him
Tuesday afternoon.

The Y. M. c. A. Building.

The Y. M. G.. A. has secured an option
for thirty days upon the property on the
corner of South and Main streets belong
ing to the Episcopal church and formerly
occupied as the rectory, the price asked
being Sd 500. The chances are that the
association will take advantage of this OPP
portunity and try to raise the amount
named by subscription. This is most
excellent chance for the erection of a
building for the purpose named and it
should be an easy task to raise the
amount and erect building that would
stand as monument to the generosity of
the religious loving people of this section.
The project should be encouraged

Low Water.

Water in Pike Greek is now lower than
it has been in good many years. On
Tuesday the life boat, which had been
out for practice, could get up to the station
only with difficulty. We clip the follow
ing from the Chicago Times:
Lake Michigan yesterday was fifteen
inches below datum" or the low water
mark established by some city or govern
ment engineers years ago. THE water is
lower, said Mr.-Feind, than at any time
before in the last twenty years except in
January, 1882, when, for short time, it
was twenty-four inches below datum.
The mean annual level of the lake was
seven-tenths of a foot above datum in
1872 and it has not been so low since un-
til 1890, when it was six-tenths of foot
above datum. 1t will probably be still
lower this year"

Archbishop Katzer's Visit.

An interesting event to the Catholics
last Saturday evening was the arrival in
the city of Archbishop Katzer. Though
there was pouring rain, the Catholic or
ders turned out and escorted him to st.
Georges church where he was greeted by
a large concourse of people. On Sunday
the Archbishop administered the rite Of
confirmation to very large class in st.
George and ST. James Catholic churches.
At the former church the Archbishop
himself delivered the sermon, and at the
latter Prof Reilly preached to large
audience

The Country Circus At Mcvicker

G.. Jefferson, Klaw and Enlanger's pro-
duction of the Country Circus" at Nc
Vicker's Theatre this week is being made
before an audience that tests the capacity
of the house, and is conceded to be sue
cess. Nothing exactly like this entertain
ment has ever before been offered to the
American public, and no such lavish
equipment has ever enhanced a produc-
ton. At times the stage is bewildering
mass of moving color, gorgeously attired
men and women and caparisoned horses
and other animals. AS a stage pageant it
has never been equaled in this or any
other country.
The circus parade, which closes the
third act of the play, was received with
the widest enthusiasm, and represented
an outlay which amounts way up into
the thousands Animals, wagons with
their occupants, bands of music, in
wagons and afoot Roman chariots, hOrs-
es, elephants, goat carts, monkey-rId-
den horses were all kept moving with a
precision that baffied the comprehension
of the old managers. The ring perform
ance, probably the finest ever given any
where, included in its features the most
expert men and women from both sides of
the Atlantic. The play is the JOINT effort
of Charles Barnard, author of "The
County Fair" and C. F. Jefferson. 1.-The
Country Circus" Is beyond all cavil the
district theatrical sensation of the year.

which was supposed at the time to have
