700 miles into the interior and for months
lived among the rural folk. They are the
happiest, gentlest and most hospitable peo-
pie | ever saw. Their habits are frugal,
though not especially energetic, and their
mode of life is primitive, but clean and
virtuOus. The natives for the most part
live in little mud huts. They subsist en-
tirely on dried beef and tea made from a
native herb leaf. When they want meat
they kill beef on the pampas, and, after
skinning and cleaning him, hang the car
cass up to dry in the blazing sun. After thus
exposing it to the sun for two days the
meat is then in prime condition for the
Argentinian palate after it is cooked. A
great thick bulk of ii is sliced off the neck
or sides, and, impaled on a wooden fork is
held over flame until ii quits sizzling and
cracking. Then bOuntiful supply Of salt
and red pepper is sprinkled over the meat,
a little grease and water are poured over
it, and you have a dish fit for the gods,

The Traeedy In So. Paul.

ST. PAUL, August 4.-The effects of last
nights torrent we're more disastrous than
at first reported. Three people were killed,
seven badly injured. Killed: Mrs. Au-
gust Adams, Mrs. J. Horne, VIM, Krieger.
Fatally wounded: Phillip Stochs and
five-year-old SON, August Adams, Fred
erick Krieger, Paul X. Keuk, Henry Lud-
wig, John Willrich. The accident was the
result of heavy rains, The was a deep
gully on the hillside above Page street.
This street was filed up across the gulley
years ago, leaving a small culvert to carry
off the water. This culvert has long been
choked up and recent rains filled the basin,
making a lake Of two acres, nearly fifty
feet deep. Suddenly last night the street
filling swept away, allowing the water to
sweep down in body on the land below.
The work Of rescue was carried on in the
darkness, as the gas pipe was swept away
by the food.

Obliged to accept the bargain, though both

does not want the work longer than he
contracted to give it, he can throw it up,

can choose his workman. No law can take
away that right from either. The work

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 4.-The impor-
tance Of emphasizing the contrast between
the soldier records of the opposing can
didates for the presidency and vice-presi-
dency appeals very strongly to Represen-
tative Hopkins, of Illinois, who is one of
the leading republicans in the house, and
was recently the chairman Of the republic
can convention in his state. Mr.. Hopkins
thinks that it would be good idea, and
has in fact suggested the scheme TO the re-
publican national committee, to put in the
hands of every ex-soldier in the United
States a little slip Of paper reading some-
thing like the following:

vote which the latter should cast in the

add that Mr. Hopkins firmly believes the
republican ticket will be successful. He is
particularly sangune about the outcome
in his own state, predicting that the repub-
lican state and electoral tickets will have a
majority ranging from 25,0O0 to $1,000.
TENNESSEE MAY co REPUBLICAN,.
"What about the republican design of
invading the south politically, with a view
to breaking up its democratic solidarity"
asked a Washington Post man of Congress-
man John @. Houk at the Ebbitt.
Il can't speak for any other state but
Tennessee, " he replied, "for / don't know
the real conditions existing elsewhere in
the south, but as to Tennessee my earnest
belief is that we shall give its electoral vote
| to the republican candidates. In 1888 Har-
rison actually carried the state, but the
ticket was counted out in four counties.
Ever since then the republican party has
been making gains, and it is stronger today
than ever The democrats have even been
forced to resort to a local force bill that is
more unjust and oppressive than any fed
eral law ever contemplated. The object is
to disfranchise the colored voters. They
are required TO produce a certificate of reg
/ istration before being allowed to vote, and
as the issue Of duplicate certificates is
made a penal offense, the scheme is TO de-
priVe them of their papers by purchase OF

FRESNO, Cal, August The train which
was held up by masked robbers between
Rollin and Pratton. late last night, was
the south-bound night express, leaving
San Francisco at $50 pm. The exact sum
contained in the messengers safe has not
been ascertained, but it is thought to have
been between $50, and $50 900. The Dali
ton boys are supposed to be in Idaho, and
it is a conundrum to railroad officials who
the parties were, concerned in the robbery.
Whoever they may be, they were bold in
their operations. Several deputy sheriffs
from the southern counties of the state
are stated to have been on board the train
but no resistance was offered the robbers
General Freight Agent Smurr, Of the
Southern Pacific, was in a special car with
party of gentlemen bound east. Messen-
ger George Roberts, who was wounded by
the explosion of the dynamite bomb was
pronounced by physicians to be seriously
injured. He resides in Los Angeles.
THE TWO ROBBERS
boarded the tender as the train was pulling
out Of Coils, about fifteen miles west Of
Fresno. They covered the engineer and
fireman with double -barreled shotguns
and announced that they had to obey their
orders under penalty of death. When the
train passed Rolindo station the engineer
was ordered to stop, and the fireman was
ordered with lighted cigar to touch off
the fuse of dynamite cartridge, which the
robbers placed on the piston of the driving
wheel on the lefthand side of the locomo-
tive. The explosion was terrific, breaking
the piston rod and partially disabling the
engine. The robbers ordered the engineer
to get of the train and walk a short dis
tance along the track, while they proceeded
to lombard the two doors of the express
car by exploding dynamite cartridges,
about eight in all, which tore the doors in
