KANSAS Cry, Mo, Oct ia special
to the Star from C%ofFeyville, Kas., says:
When tho Missouri Pacific train due
hero at 1925 last night stopped at
Caney, a station a few miles west of
here, two men boarded the engine. COW
cred the engineer and fireman with
Winchesters, ordered them to pull out
two miles and stop. The compelled the
engineer nnd fireman to uncouple the
express car and pull it a half mile iur-
ther. Express Messenger Maxwell had
blown out the lights and barred the
doors, and when ordered to open up re-
fused. The robbers fired q couple Of
shots through the door and wounded
Maxwell in the arm. lie surrendered
and lighted the lamps and opened the
door. The robbers compelled the engi-
neer to 90 in front OF them into the car
while they covered Maxwell with a
gun. Having got the money in the
safe, which Maxwell says was a small
amount, they backed off and disap-
peared. The identity OF the robbers 10
unknown.
A special to the Star from Wichita,
Kansas, says: According the intorma-
ton received by Superintendent Hard
ing of the Missouri Pacific and the ex-
press company's agent here It seems
that as the train was leaving Caney a
man mounted the front platform OF the
combination baggage and express car
and from there climbed over the ten:
der. As engineer Eggleston stopped
his train between the two switches the
robber covered him and the fireman
with reyolvers and ordered them to pull
out further. Express Messenger j. n.
Maxwell seems to have been unPre-
pared for resistance as he opened up his
safe and delivered the money he had.
The robbers then fred a few shots
through the car, hitting no one, how
ever, and left.
superintendent Harding thinks there
must have been at least three men i'm
plicated in the robbery.

however to jump on to anything, take up
the refrain, set back in the shade and say
we poor, down tr0ddcn farmers: our bur-

VINO ale talking just such stuff rs this who
never done any hard work in their lives?
The fact of the business is tkc real, genuine
farmers, the men who toll on their farms
twelve months in the year for their living
are not the men, rs general rule, who run
Tor Office. You will find many men who
love to talk of the dignity of labor and the
oppressed farmers with great cnrncstrcss
who never laborcd any and never will if
they can get an Office. Think over the men
in office now and see how many Of them
plowcd and hocd every day til they got in

When our esteemed and bushing con-
temporary the Journal finds hard nut to
crack, it puts it aside with the ease loving
expression 'thcre is nothing in it," or this
is sample Of the unfair treatment &c"
We published Governor Tillmans speech in
full, and the expression that we criticised
was published exactly as it was used in the
Evening Democrat for three or four davs
consecutively. II was neither ambiguous or
obscure in its meaning. 1t was suscep,i
bic OF no explanation except the one intcn
tsNded by the speaker, and that was givci
best by the words themselves. The r,a
truth about the matter, we believe Is ,tht
christian editor Of the journal could no
conscientously commend the expression o
the Governors preference to his sons ant
readers, and being anxious to show Iii
devotion to his and our friend, thu
Governor, he thought his purpos,
would be served by trying to scolt
the SESTISEL. If you can't find any bet
ter excuse for the Governors preference,
you may as well be candid like he was, say
Is was q ''mistake" and drop the matter.

why tho Line IL Crooked

An amusing incident handed down by
,raaluon, connected with the boundary line
between Lancaster and Kershaw Counties
IS called to mind just now by the survey of
thls boundary, which commenced last
tuesday. 1t appears that there is no un
certainty about the line except from Mil
lcrs. near Bethel church, a few miles west
or kcrshaw, to Pcay's ferry on the Cata-
waba river. This uncertain line is vcry
crooked, at times forming acute angles. It
extends from Miller, sdown to The big road
TO bridge on hanging Rock. ,C-.--''',, ia
there almost doubl"S .,3eos a'ihyicck, and
1t s e.;l,ltv. h"!ta back a mile or two.
! IT, stTd that there use to he grocery
(barroom) at this bridge, and that the SUR
.veyinig party, years ago were very dry when
in this ncighborhood. Not wishing to be
unmindful of duty by stopping their work
and going for drinks, they laid off the
line down the big road to the original gro
ccry and thence back to the original course
Other crooks in this vicinity arc explained
by the fact that more than one drink apiece
were taken. This line will be established
by reference to "liills," Statistics' an old
book Of county plats.
