ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.

Masked Men Rob . Southern Pacific Traia
In Texas-Dynamite and Winchester
Freely Used-Large Rewards For the
Robbers.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Sept ga dar-
ing train robbery was committed by
six masked men twenty miles west OF
Langley, dynamite and Winchesters be-
ing used as a means of intimidating the
express messenger and gaining en-
trance into his car.
Train No 10 on the Southern Pacific
railway was stopped by the robbers at
s:a5 q. m. and held until 5:s5 o'clock.
The train was just pulling out from
Samuels, a way station. when six
masked men, who had selected their
positions, simultaneously mounted the
men for each of thesepositions-
Over forty shots were fred. literally
perforating the baggage and express
car, without injury to any one.
Still the agent refused to open his
car and a dynamite cartridge was
placed against small window in the
express car and exploded. The effect
of this was to tear the window out and
otherwise damage the car. The ex-
press messenger was stunned, but he
recovered in a few moments only to be
overpowered by the robbers and was
made to give up his safe key.
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.
The passengers were not molested,
as the men seemed to want only the
contents of the express car, which was
a very small sum, as there is never q
large amount carried west. They al
SO took one registered package, two
empty mail bags and the mail, which
was made up for Dryden post Office.
After the men had secured what they
could from the mail car and express car
they returned the money which they
had taken from the mail clerk and OK
press messenger.
The railroad company has offered
$3.50 for the capture of each man. The
express company will offer reward OF
about $1,000 for each one captured,
and, besides this, the government offers
q standing reward of $500 for every
train robber. making the amount offered
for each robber about 81, 750
The express messenger was j. E.
Smith. of the Wells-Fargo service. who
obtained national fame by killing two
train robbers near Ell Paso a couple of
years ago. This time he was outnum-
bered and. though he stood off the
as long as he possibly could,
was finally forced to give in.

Testimony Of Free Trader in Freq
Trade Journal-Do American Working
mon Want to Live Like This:
The death of Hermann Raster Of the
Illinois Stats Zeitung, which occurred
Germany. has occasioned comment in
the newspapers all over the United
States, as Mr.: Raster was widely known
rs a man of ability and independence.
Mr.. Raster's paper, the Stats Zeitung,
has been independent, with strong dem
ocratic tendencies, and the Chicago
Tribune is everywhere known as a
straight-out anti-tariff organ. Under
these circumstances it is difficult to a4s-
count for the publication of the follow
ing article which appeared in the Trib-
une of July "a:
I'm a recent letter from Hermann
Raster printed in the Stats Zeitung he
has something to say about the people
in the neighborhood of the little bath
ing place where he is staying. They
are weavers by trade, and under aver
age circumstances each of them earns
about 40 cents a day on which to- sup
port himself, wife and children he may
have. The democratic free trade ora
tor will say at once that everything is
much cheaper abroad than here and
that the 40 cents are equivalent of
great many more in American money.
This is Mr.. Raster's statement of
what the weaver buys with his wages
daily for himself. wife and children:
Rent of the single room they occupy,
which contains the loom, cooking uten-
sis and beds, and is IL x Is feet, "a cents
per day; 5-pound loaf of bread, made
of rye and barley, 1872 cents; quart
and half Of SKINNED milk, LIZ cents;
half a peck Of potatoes, SO cents; a
quarter of peck of -four, AZ cents;
salt O.s cent; kerosene. 1 cent; butter
LIZ cents; total, 27.6 cents. This does
not leave mnch leeway for meat and
coal and clothes. The weaver buys
every two or three weeks half pound
meat with bones and pays about seven
cents for it In winter he buys a hum
dredweight of coal. for which he pay Is
cents and which lasts him ten days.
1.-THE American wOrkmen is in tho
habit of living somewhat better than
this, and would not care to drop down
to this frugal fare. But he will have to
if his democratic friends force him to
enter into competition with men who
live IS these German weavers do. Is he
quite ready to take all duties Of com
petitive goods and to go into a manu-
featuring war, to be victor in which he
must initiate the style of living of his
opponent"

STOCK ITEMS.

Sheep win not thrive we'll If they are
crowded into too close quarters. Give
them room enough at least to be COM
Portable.
Provide good racks and feed cut
straw rather than to turn the stock In
and let them help themselves More
benefit can be derived in this way.
Hogs and cattle are the principal
stock fattened at this season; it is best
to push them as rapidly as possible and
then market as soon as they are ready.
With healthy. vigorous stock. when
the weather is only moderately cool IS
the most favorable time to fatten, hence.
in many cases, it is a good plan to be-
gin feeding early.
One advantage in having the cattle
dehorned is that larger number can
be kept with less room than when the
horns are let alone, and in winter espe-
cially this is quite an item.
Feeding should be done at regular
hours. Animals soon learn their hours
of feeding, and if they do not get their
meals at regular hours. even when they
are we'll fed, they will fret and be
losing to some extent, at least.
While during The summer oats. bar.
ley, mill-feed and bran make the best
foods for growing pigs, during the
winter some corn should be added in
order to secure animal heat, and corn
is one of the very best materials that
can be supplied for this purpose. 1t
should not be made an exclusive but
only a principal food
The best seasons for fattening hogs
are early in the spring and in the fall,
and pig that has been kept growing
from birth should be ready to market
at an average of eight or nine months
of age. To secure this however, it is
very essential to have q good breed and
then to feed and care for them so that
thrifty growth can be readily secured
With a breed of hogs that with good
treatment quicS growth aud an early
more profitable to breed the SOW SO as
to secure two litters of pigs, one in The
fall that with good treatment can be
made ready for market either late in
the spring or early summer, and the
other either in February or early
spring. and that can be marketed early
in the fall
After once commencing to. feed to
fatten, it is an item to see that the
stock are fed regularly. and that they
are given all that they will eat up clean
At each meal in order to secure the best
gain at the lowest cost. To fail to feed
enough is to fail to secure the best
gain; to give more than they will eat
is to waste the extra feed In order to
derive the largest profit in feeding
stock it is necessary to take every ad-
vantage. and neglect to do this will
lessen in proportion the profits

FARM NOTES.

Pumpkins boiled and mixed with
bran make good poultry food.
The diminutive bantam lays more
eggs by weight than any other fowl.
4 little oats and barley make a good
ration for the fowls that are to be kept
for breeding and laying.
If properly managed the hens that
are raOlting now can be made to lay

The less fruit or vegetable that are
to be stored away for for winter are
handled the better they will keep.
Do nos let the sorghum get too ripe
before harvesting, and arrange so that
it will be worked up as soon as posi-

Pallets that are expected to furnish
eggs during the winter must be reason

the seed will help to give the fowls ex-
ercise during the winter, besides sup
plying them with good ration store.
