AT HOMESTEAD.

The President Of the American Federation
of Labor Talks on the Homestead AZ
fair.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. S.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has been in Home
stead on a secret mission. AS result
of his mission, the entire strength of
the organization will be utilized to help
win this fight The 100000 members of
the federation will be asked to contrib
ute money, and especially to be vigilant
in the boycotting of Carnegie material
and to prevent workmen from going to
Homestead.
Mr.. Gompers stayed for two hours in
Homestead Saturday. He met the ad-
visory committee and was shown the
mill. Later he expressed confidence in
the men winning and that the heartiest
cooperation would be extended.
Although the steel works is organ
lied through the Amalgamated associa-
ton into the Federation of Labor, yet /
rejoice to say that the cause of the men
has excited the sympathy and results in
the financial aid of the Knights of Labor
and unions not affiliated with either or
der" he said. 1--WE shall leave nothing
undone to bring victory to these gallant
workmen."
Sunday has proven uneventful both
at Duquesne and here. The men are
avoiding the streets and the Carnegies
are not introducing new workmen.

ment, Pennsylvania guards, again con-
Quoted services in the mill. To-day
battery B goes home, and on Tuesday
the Fifth regiment The Fifteenth
and Sixteenth regiments will be left.

CALIFORNIA TRAIN ROBBERY.
Two Men Hold Up an Express Train and
Secure a Large sum of Money.


Secure a Large sum of Money.
FRESNO, Cal, Aug. 5.-As passenger
train No. II, southbound, reached
lonely spot six miles east of Coils last
night, two robbers crawled over the
tank to the engine cab and ordered the
engineer and fireman to stop the train.
They made the engineer walk ahead
quarter of a mile and compelled the
fireman to stay with them.
The outlaws then went to the express
car and ordered the messenger to open
the door, He refused and the robbers
threw six or seven dynamite bombs at
the doors, completely demolishing
them.
The robbers entered the express car
and covering Louis Roberts, the mes
senger with double-barreled shotguns,
ordered him to open the Wells, Fargo
& Co. safe. Roberts set about doing
this, bat was so excited and nervous
that he forgot the combination and so
informed his captors, who thereupon
struck him heavy blow upon the head
with a gun and threatened to kill him
if he did not Immediately open the safe.
With trembling hands he did so and
they took out sacks of coin
The sum contained in the messengers
safe is thought to have been between
$4,000 and $4,000. Several deputy
sheriffs from southern counties of the
state are said to have been on board
the train, but no resistance was offered
to the robbers. The robbers boarded
the tender as the train was pulling out
of Coils, about fifteen miles west of
Fresno. They covered the en-
gineer and fireman with double
barreled sbotguns and commanded
that orders be obeyed under penalty of
death. When the train passed Rollinda
station the engineer was ordered to
stop. The fireman was ordered to
touch off with light of a cigar the
fuse of dynamite cartridge which the
robbers placed on the piston of the
driving wheel on the left hand side of
the locomotive The explosion was ter
rife, breaking the piston rod and par
tally disabling the engine.
When the desperadoes exploded the
first cartridge on the engine the pas
sengers put their heads out of the win
dows to see what was going on, but
they drew them back again when they
found pistol bullets and buckshot
whistling past their ears A panic en-
sued, the passengers making a wild
scramble under the seats to keep out of
the range of the flying missiles.

KANSAS CORN.

Critical Condition OF the Kansas Corn Crop
Tho Great Need of Good Rain.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. S.-Dis-
patches received late last night from
various sections of the corn belt in
Kansas indicate pretty plainly that the
corn is suffering from lack of rain, and
that already considerable damage has
been done Rain is needed, and in
some sections it is needed badly. The
weather conditions during the next few
days will determine, to great extent.
the volume Of the Kansas corn crop and
the farmers are anxiously awaiting the
outcome The local signal service
bureau announced last night that it
would be cooler to-day, but that there
were no indications of rain for this sec.
tion. The excessive heat of the past
weak, which has prevailed over the
entire southwest and which has
been accompanied by rain in but few
sections, has accomplished the injury to
the crop Up to a week ago the corn
was in condition better than fair, and
with the assistance of general rain,
the prospects pointed to magnificent
yield. But the much desired moisture
has failed to materialize and the condi.
ton OF the crop in consequence is daily
growing worse. All now depends on
the weather of the ensuing week.

effects being proved at all, the highca
functions are sure to be suffering; and
as the cited experiments indicated
mental impairment, what must be the
inference as to the spiritual injury re-
ceived? If such be the results of from
a fourth to sixth of the dietetic dose,
what must be the result of the full
dietetic dose?
Let us, however, for sake of argu-
ment, grant that the dietetic dose is all
that has been claimed for it-'cui
bono" Of course we will all agree
that it would be unsafe for those
afflicted with the alcoholic faint; for a
single drop of liquor has beca known
to start such one on the roao to per-
dition. But who are these? Who
knows and can point them outf In
order to find out whether the dietetic
dose is safe, they must try it, and if,
being tried, it finds the alcoholic faint
in them, the trial means their ruin.
Again, suppose that all who believe
they can safely indulge were to com
mence with the dietetc dose, how
many would or could keep 20 it to tho
end? How many possessing will and
character enough to persist, could even
know whether or not they were doing
so, when the amount of alcohol found
in given quantities of alcoholic liquors
varies so greatly?"

A TRIP TO THE WOODS.
What Little City BOY Learned About
Trees and Plants.

Nnat Little City boy Learned About
Trees and Plants.
Willie lives in the city.
One day papa and Willie got on
train and rode out into the country
They went to see grandma. 1t was
her birthday.
After dinner they walked into the
woods. They saw some men cutting
down trees. Willie wanted to stop and
see them work. So they sat down on
stump.
Papa told Willie to look at one of the
stumps The tree had been chopped
off quite smoothly; the top of the
stump was very fiat.
"Do you see the rings in the top OF
that stump" asked papa.
why, yes, papa" said Willie, there
are rings in it. There is little ring in
the middle, and larger ones outside of
it. / never knew there were rings in
side of tree before. What makes the
trees grow in that way, papa?"
81 will tell you," said papa. 81 can
tell you how old the tree was when it
was cut down"
"Why, papa, how can you tell that?"
asked Willie. 81 can not tell how old
the tree was"
81 will show you so that you can tell
the age Of tree after it has been cut
down" said papa. 'One of these rings
grew every year. The tree does not
grow in winter, when it is cold. 1t
grows only in summer.
at made the first ring in the middle
the first summer after it was planted.
Then it stopped growing in the winter.
The next summer it made this next ring
outside of the little one in the middle.
Now, see if you can tell how many
years old the tree is"
81 will try" said Willie. "Is the tree
| just as many years old as there are
rings in its trunk?"
Eyes; that right" said papa. "Now
count them"
81 think there are eleven rings. Was
the tree eleven years old when it was
cut down."
EYES," said papa; "now, is one ring
Just as large as the other?"
"No, papa. This ring is not nearly so
large as the others"
"Do you know why it is so small?"
asked papa.
"No," said Willie. "Can you tell
that, too?"
EYES," said papa; last summer there
was no rain for long time. Did Aunt
Mary's flowers grow so fast as they did
when it rained often"
"No," said Willie. "They almost
stopped growing"
Then what do plants need besides
earth and sun to make them grow?"
"Plenty of rain" said Willie.
Eyes; and trees live on it, too" said
papa. THE summer this thin, narrow
ring grew, there was little rain; so the
tree did not grow much that year"
"Here is broad ring" said Willie.
SIS it because there was great deal OF
rain that year,"
Yes, Willie, that is it," said papa

realized how nearly death stood at their
side that day
They came to a rough place, over
which Cliff stumbled and fell. With a
powerful effort he dragged himself to
one side, again calling out: "Run, Tom
its your only chance"
But poor Bruin, wounded and bleed
ing, blind with rage, with assailants
behind and before, had reached her
last effort. Over she rolled, her clumsy
form remaining motionless in the imow.
The boys gazed at her, then at each
other. Their clothes were torn to frag'
ments and stained with blood.
"Be you hurt, Tom?" asked Cliff,
half under his breath.
"Not mite" said Tom, stretching
his limbs as if to find out.
'Look there" said Cliff, pointing up
the hill.
For a quarter of mile the snow
was beaten in a wide blood-smeared
track.

faithful dog. IF it hadn't "a been for

renewed shifts and banks, and was soon
followed by the boys.
"Yes, there's two cubs" said Cliff.
'Poor little coots!-seems shame,
don't it?" said Tom, caressing the baby
bears, which were about as large as a
good sized cat.
"Twould "a been a worse shame,
seems to me, if it had been you and me
as was dead instead % that big black
creetur."
There was sensation when later in
the day some neighbors gathered at the
scene of the fight.
