WOUlD-BE TRAIN ROBBERS.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. IAN attempt,
which by the merest chance proved unsuc-
cessful, was made tonight to hold up the
Missouri Pacific east-bound passenger
train. The train was late in leaving the
Union depot and freight was sent out
ahead of 1t on the passenger trains time.
When the freight reached Dead Mans
curve, near Lees SUBMITS shor5 distance
from here, it was tagged and several
masked men approached the engine. When
they saw that the train was freight they
turned and took TO the woods. Officers are
securing the country for the would-bs

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The first meeting of
fhe western branch of the Democratic
campaign committee was held in this city
this morning. The gathering was rather
informal and preceded a more general
meeting of party leaders to be held at the
Palmer house this afternoon. The meet
ing was called by Don NJ. Dickinson,
chairman of the national campaign COM
mittee. There were present, or represent
ed by proxies, the national committeeman
from the following northwestern states:
Daniel J. C8mpau of Michigan, j. j..
Richardson of Iowa, Benjamin Cable OF
Illinois, +. c. Wall of Wisconsin. Michael
Doran OF Minnesota, w. G. Leistkeow OF
North Dakota and James NJ. Woods OF
South Dakota. These seven gentlemen
represent the seven states which 90 10
make up the territory over which the
western headquarters committee will have
supervision. Indiana will also be at
tackled, but more attention to that state
viii be paid by the national committee.
1t is not unlikely that James S Ewing,
Adlai b. Stevenson's law partner, viii
conduct the campaign from Chicago.
THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The national Demo
Cratic campaign committee, under the
leadership of Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, has
decided to make vigorous campaign IN
the western states. aud will open the
political batteries about Sept. -. The
western branch of the national committee
held its first meeting in this city today,
and later in the day met in conference
with the national committeeman, or their
representatives, from the states Of Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North
Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois. This
conference was general in its character,
and was for the purpose Of obtaining eX-
act Dews OF the political situation, the ad-
VancemenU made, and the assistance re-
quired in each of these doubtful states.
The question of fusion with the Peoples
party or Farmers Alliance in certain
states was freely discussed, and the COM
mittee unreservedlY gave its approval to
such fusion in the Dakotas and in certain
congressional districts in other states.
In regard to the political situation gen
orally, Chairman Dickinson said: THE
west has been carefully looked over, and
the Democratic chances in heretofore Re-
publican districts We're never greater. We
will perfect an organization in every state,
and will fight every inch of ground. Illi-
nois can certainly be made Democratic |
shall make no claims in auy of These
states, but l know that an aggressive
fight will bring some of these States over
to the Democrats. There will be perfect
harmony between the New York head
quarters and those in charge here.
II saw Mr.. Cleveland on Saturday last,
and he is surprisingly familiar with the
situation here. He knows that the people
of the west have become more and more
IN favor Of tariff reform. lie believes that
the tariff fight should be pushed here,
and so 1t will The national committee
viii supply all literature necessary, or
give the subcommittee full power TO
print any literature they desire To send
cut. In the matter OF speakers the nat
ional committee will also lend all the aid
possible

Merely Pieces of Anhydrous Material
Which Have the Power OF Absorption.
The maidstone story is going its
rounds again. It IS the property OF this
wonderful agent to stick to raw
surface of flesh and suck the poison out
Of it. That is, the owners say so. AS
matter of fact. says the Brooklyn
Eagle, no inorganic substance can suck
except by the aid of machinery. Again,
in ninety-nine cases out of hundred
the dog bites are harmless and there is
no poison to be sucked out. Thirdly,
credulity is one of the most effective
cures in the materia medica and ought
to be used oftener, where people have
no real disorder. The whole tradition
Of the maidstone comes from the alb
sorptive power of any anhyd-ous min
eral. Such a stone is filed with pores
and by a process akin TO that of capil-
larry attraction the water that it has
lost--in the course of centuries, per-
hap-it will soak up again when in
contact with liquid. II one wishes to
know the action Of a maidstone let him
put a piece of tabasheer or dry clay or
shale to his tongue. 1t viii stick. That
Is all there is TO IT, There are millions
of tons of maidstone in every state in
the union, and every family can afford
to be without If. These stories OF mys-
terious stones that have come from the
far east or that were bought at enor-
nous prices from voodoos and hoodoos
and wizards are all humbug. II per
