TRIBUTE TO TRAIN ROuB,cRs.



Brothers.
After the Rock Island train robbery
the Youngers and Jameses scattered To
avoid detection. Each took a peach
basket full of gold watches, so that he
would know what time it was. and
started off in four different directions.
Curiously enough, four Of them carue
together, viz Cole, Jim, and John
Younger aud Moore
The four outlaws had halted in thick
grove of trees to rest their horses, swap
watches, and pray, when late in the at =
ternoon two deputy sheriffs and con-
stable who were looking for the train
robbers suddenly came upon them. In
an instant Cole Younger took in the sit
uation, and REVIEWERS were drawn and
levelled on the officers, says the narrator,
willie with terrible threats and oath..
indicating that if they did not hold their
hands as high as possible they would,
almost. Mt once. look like the z ,diac
man in the front of the almanac. they
were halted.
"Whcre are you goingp" asked Cole
nian Younger in rich Union Depot
voice.
"We are hunting for the Youngers.
who robbed Tie train on the Roc,
Island Road. " said the deputy, who had
once impanelled Il jury, but aside from
that had never mixed much with
carnage.
"You wcrcl" exclaimed Coleman
Younger. We'll, d--n you. ptay!"
He was almost morbid on the suhj,ct
of prayer, Coleman Younger. He did
much harm, ! think, b, suggesting it
ut the most inopportune times, and
showed great intolerance that way.
"What do you mean?" asked the
trembling wretch.

other world, and don't want to send
any man to the other world unpre-
pared.
He was always that way. He did
not want to see II deputy sheriff die in
crude state. Ten minutes soon passed,
and then the men were blindfolded.
They were not far from the steep bluffs
of the Missouri. some of which were 800
feet high. The three men, with their
eyes bandaged were taken to Il cliff and
swung over it 80 that they caught by
their hands Below was a perpendcu-
lar wall
Hold on as long rs you can, said the
eccentric robber, "and when you fall
that will be the end of you.
With that the helpless men were left,
and above the tur.ultuous beating of
their own hearts they heard the clatter
of retreating hoofs You can dimly
imagine the horrors of such IL situation.
The cold, glttering stars looked down
upon them, but they saw them not.
With bandaged eyes and sinking hearts
they clung to the verge of life until their
nerveless fingers one after another re-
laxed and with n deep moan they fell
to the bottom, distance Of nearly four
feet!-[New York World.

PIITTONS AND gFrS

WASHINGTON, June l3-One attempt Of
foreign manufacturers to eyade the Nc
Kinley bill has Just been defeated by the
decision of the board Of general appraisers
at New York The Mckinley bill for the
purpose Of reviving the pearl button in
dustry. which formerly employed several
thousand hands. but which foreign COM
potion had driven out, imposes heavy
tariff on such articles OF foreign manufac-
tuTe. AS soon as the bill passed certain
manufacturers of the buttons abroad
began to ship their goods simply as blanks
that is, buttons without the holes bored
to complete them. They then set up the
claim that these were not buttons, and so
could not be assessed. The collector ruled
against them, and the board has sustained
this ruling, saying IN the decision:
There is an abundance Of evidence,
documentary and otherwise, TO show that
goods similar 10 those under consideration
have been commercially known among
manufacturers in this country as buttons.
Some of the most reputable domestic
pearl button makers testified that they
carried large stocks Of those buttons to be
pierced or shanked as the trade ordered, >
and that it had been their practice Tor
years to inventory goods similar TO these
as so many gross of buttons. 1t has also
been shown that these articles have been
designated by the importers as buttons in
arrangements for future business"
As a result of this decision factory Is 10
be at once erected in Philadelphia which
will employ 2.000 hands One of the larg-
est dealers in pearl buttons in the country
says OF the decision,
1.-THE consumption Of pearl buttons in
this country amounts to about 5,OOO.OvO
annually This decision means that all
such buttons will be made in this country.
Besides the new button manufacturing
company which has been formed, there
are several others TO be started soon.
WASHINGTON. June 13-Assistant
Spaulding has decided that queen bees are
entitled TO entry free of duty under the
provisions for animals specially imported
for breeding purposes, notwithstanding
the requirement of that provision, for a
certificate of pedigree showing pure breed
can not possibly be complied with in their
case This is in harmony with the prac-
tice under the old tariff, but in conflict
with the practice under the present tariff
of assessing duty on queen bees at the
rate of 20 per cent ad valorem under the
provision for animals not otherwise pro-
yided for The present ruling is based on
representations that these bees are never
imported for other than breeding pur-
poses: that they are always Of a superior
breed, adapted TO improve the stock IN
this country, and that it is impractlcable
from the nature Of the case to keep books
Of registry of recognized breeds of bees.
Prof. Cook, of the Michigan agricultural
college presented the question. A singu-
lar fact about the case is that these bees
are generally imported through the mail,
and that this can be done legally only in
the event of their being exempt from
duty

indianapolis, June 13.-The fact that a
secret conference of politicians had been
held in this city on Thursday having
leaked out, Col. .Conger, of Akron, u, q
member of the National Republican COM
mittee, and who made the most Significant
utterance of the meeting, decided that 1t
was best to make public the facts of the
meeting. although 1t had been the decision
of the participants to keep this movement
secret Col. Conger said frankly that the
purpose was to organize the Republican
friends of Mr. Blaine in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Michigan
and Kansas in support of his nomination
for the presidency. He believed that recent
political events indicated that this was a
party necessity, and it was recognition
of this fact that brought together the
Republicans invited TO the conference, all
of whom were known to be enthusiastic
ally willing to join in the proposed move
ment, and were capable of giving powerful
assistance.
ut is simply our purpose" he said. ITO
do all that we can from now until the ma
tional convention is held to secure his
nomination. and | am confident that we
will succeed"
But will Mr.. Blaine accept a presiden-
tial nomination in 1892. after so persistent
" declining it in 1852" was asked.
The answer to this question was given
with deliberation. 81 am not authorized
by Mr.. Blaine to speak for him." said Mr.
Conger. 'but l can give the assurance
that there will be no embarrassing letters,
such as appeared three years ago, to par
alyze the efforts of his friends"
Some fifty or more politicians of national,
state or local prominence participated in
the conference. Among them were James
McNulta, of Chicago; Col. A. l.. -Conger,
of Ohio; James o. Bradley, of kentucky;
Charles w Fairbanks, Of Indianapolis,
and Judge Field and o. her leading pOliti-
clans and newspaper men of Indiana.

CoFFEYvTLLE. Kan, June ia gentle
man who resided IN the Indian territory
for years, and is familiar with the country
west of the Goth parallel, came in yester-
day from an extended trip over the Chero-
kee strip. He spent ten days IN travelling
in that part of the territory He is reliable
and prominent in commercial circles He
says that there are not less than 100, 900
head of cattle grazing on free grass on The
strip. Dan Wagner, of Texas, has ., 600,
and employs fifty extra men, with Win
chesters to protect the cattle. No one is
allowed to camp within ten miles OF &
ranch. 4 number of Cherokee stockmen
have large herds on the strip. The Indian
police are in the scheme, and are guarding
the border very closely to prevent intru-
sion aud discovery. The government Is
being detied and the authorities bulldozed
by the cattlemen and Cherokees. Chief
Mayes is carrying out his pledge made TO
the cattle barons two years ago.
