by train robbers six miles east Of Col
lish last night. Two OF the robbers
crawled over the tank to the engineers
cab and ordered the engineer and fire.
man to stop the train. They made the
engineer walk ahead a quarter OF a
mile, and compelled the fireman to stay
with them. They then went to the ex-
press car and ordered the messenger to
open the door. He refused, and the
robbers threw six or seven dynamite
bombs at the doors, completely demol-
ishing them. They then forced the
safe and took out the money. They
made the fireman help them carry tho
treasure a distance, and then galloped
of on horseback. Tho robbers faces
were masked with light cloth. The
engine was injured by bombs exploded
under it. One Of the express meg
senger's ribs was broken.

A woman Trie, to Blow up Chicago
Board OF Trudo SIan'S uouSe.
CHICAGO, August Am attempt was
made last night to blow up the resi-
dence OF Charles D. Irwin, a wealthy
board OF trade operator, at 28OOCalumet
avenue, and the police aro searching
high and low for tho would.bo assassin,
who is a woman. The attempt would
probably have been successful had not
persons passing by frightened the wo-
man, who left large can half filled
witha high explosive aud ran toward
the lake.
The can was discovered few min.
utes later, but the finders were afraid
TO touch II, aud called Mr.. Irwin out.
He picked up the can and on examin-
ing It's contents discovered that 1t was
moro than half filed with giant powder.
In all there was about ton pounds OF
tho deadly explosive. The amount was
sufficient, II exploded, to have blown
the building TO atoms. Mr.. Irwin can
not account for the attempt. He says
no women have any dealings with the
firm, hence the motive could mot be
one Of revenge for loss Of money.

Setting Type With Both Hands.

A foreman of composing room
has conceived the idea of using both
hands in picking up and setting the
types in the stick. Ever since the
composing stick was known the left
hand has held the stick while the
thumb pressed each successive type
into place against the pieces already
i'll line. A one-armed compesitor
came to the foreman's room, and with
single hand set almost as much tyre
as his fellow-laborers did with two.
After thinking this over the foreman
worked out two inventions, by which
lie proposes to use both hands at once.
The first is little mechanical device
for taking the place of the thumb, and
the second is an attachment by which
the stick can be put in a convenient
position for receiving the type, with
out being in the way of any subse-
quent operations. Having got so far,
the foreman found that his next step
was to train the left hand. This was
by no means easy, but after patience
and practice considerable degree of
efficiency was attained, and he added
60 per cent. to his former capacity.
He believes that a still further advance
is practicable, but is confident that
any compositor, by the use of his in
ventions, which are to be patented,
will be able to add at least 80 per
cent. to his speed, thus enabling
hand work to maintain sturdy compe-
iition with the type setting machines
thus far invented.-Spare Moments.

The Price OF success.

A gentleman was recently discussing
the Corbett-Sullivan encounter. He
was not an athlete, nor interested in
athletics, so his interest in the contest
was purely philosophical. "The
trouble is" he said, sullivan was not
willing to pay the price of success"
We looked at him, and one inquired,
What do YOU mean?'' "Why, for a
man like Sullivan, to stand in the
fore ranks of men for strength and
endurance, self-control is the first and
surest element of success, and he en-
tirely lacked it. He violated all the
laws of health regardlessly until it
came time for training, and then in a
few weeks he tried to recover all that
his incompetence and lack of control
had lost. How could he expect 10
succeed? No man succeeds in any
thing who is not willing TO bend every
energy to the accomplishment of that
one thing" One of the newspapers
recently quoted group of rough boys
discussing the CorbettlSullivan en-
counter. One of them was heard to
say this-the language ia coarse, but
it shows that even the street boys I'M
derstand that the penalty of success
must be paid for at certain price
"Well, fellers, de great mill is over,
and Sully's knocked out! Well, it
only goes to show dat man can't be
champeen soak and champeen fighter
at de same me."-Christian Union.

Uses of Turpentine.

After housekeeper fully realizes the
worth of turpentine in the household,
says an exchange, she is never willing
to be without supply of it. 1t gives
quick relief to burns; it is an excellent
application for corns, it is good for
rheumatism and sore threats. Then
it is sure preventive against moths /;
by just dropping trife in the drawers,
chests and cupboards it will render
the garments secure from injury dur
ing the summer, 1t will keep ants
and bugs from closets and storerooms
by putting few drops in the corners
and upon the shelves. 1t is sure de-
struction to bedbugs, and will effectu-
ally drive them away from their
haunts if thoroughly applied 10 all the
joints of the bedstead. and Injuries
neither furniture nor clothing. A
spoonful of this added to a pail of
warm water is excellent for cleaning
paint. BY experience it is found that
the best way to remove sewingmachine
oil from garments is to rub spirits Of
turpentine on before putting the gar
ments in water, then wash the spots in
cold water with toilet soap.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee has completed a poll of Mis-
souri,, and clrims majority for Stone
tor Governor of 81, 300 over the other
three candidates. One Congressman
out ofthe fifteen is conceded to the
Republicans, and this is in the Eigh-
teenth district, where the Republican
majority is some 1000.
j.. Ware Butterfield, Secretary of
the Kansas Republican State League,
has prepared an estimate of the vote
in that State, based upon correspond
ence with the League Vice Presidents
in each county. He estimates that the
total vote cast will be $4,000. On
that basis he estimates Bidwells vote
at 5000; Weaver, 157, SEQ, and Harri-
SON 1s2s500. The State ticket, he
thinks, will receive practically the
same vote.
The total registration in California
for the election of 1892 is $4,000.
