women should educate their husbands to
take interest in their gowns; it makes 1t
easier to pay the bills. g.
Speaking of bills, they promise to cause
agroaning among those who have to pay
them this fall, for the great designers have
fairly outdone themselves. There will be
embarrassment Of choice when you come
to gaze upon the beautiful gowns in which
there are at times reminders of all the great
epochs-Directory, = Empire, Henry H.,
Louis XIV and even Louis XVI. I am quite
sure that some purists in style will cry out
at the mixture, and others will rail against
setting meadow green beside indigo blue,
and proclaim the fashionable tone to be
harsh and the combinations rather start
ling than artistic. But after all, will they
not be modish, and does not mode make
the women, as manners make the man!

HELD Up A TRAIN.
Robbers Go Through an Express Car

Robbers Go Through an Express Car
-.. on the Missouri Pacific.
Unwarned by the fate of the Dalton band
Of desperadoes only week before, two men
held up Missouri Pacific train near
Cansy, a small town near Coffey vile, Kan.
a few nights since, shot Express Messenger
in. Maxwell through the arm, broke open
the express safe and secured all the money in
the car. As the regular express money ex.
cant what was destined for way stations had
been transferred at Conway Springs, the
booty was Of little value.
inst as tho train drew up at Caney at 10
o'clock In the night two masked men, heavily
armed with rifles and rsvolvers, climbed on
the locomotive tender from the front CT the
combination baggage and express car and
covered Engineer Eggleston and his fireman
with their rifles.
The locomotive men were ordered to pull
slowly to the switch. where all was dark
ness and where there was little danger OF
molestation. This was done.
At the wnistling post the outlaws ordered
the engineer to stop and made the fireman
uncouple the express car from the rest OF the
train. All this was done 80 quietly that no
one in the coaches was disturbed.
The engineer was then ordered to pull
ahead with the express car and obeyed, for
the rifles held close to his head looked un.
pleasantly dangerous. When a deep cut
half a mile further on had been reached the
Express Messenger J. N. Maxwell, who
had Witnessed the uncoupling, had. IN the
meantime, blown out his lights, barred and
barricaded the doors and made ready for
resistance.
The order to open up the car. ELECTED no
response, and the robbers began tiring lnto
the sides Of the car with their Winchesters.
Maxwell answered the shots with his re-
yolver for few minutes, but finally re-
ceived bullet in his right arm, which dis
abled him, and he was tain to surrender.
The robbers ordered him to light his
lamps and open the car door ami as soon as
he had done 30 they entered the car with the
engineer in front Of them as shield, Max
we'll was then forced to open his safe and
deliver up his watch AMI personal properly.
The men then backed off the car and disap-
peared in the darkness.
