FROM THE ROBBERS HOME.
What the Father Says About His Way.
ward Son.

LEBANON, Mo-, June 3.-Wilson
was captured at the home of his
father two miles east of this city at
Il few minutes after s O'Clock last
evening. He was brought to this
city and lodged in Jail, where $135
in currency and $472 in silver coin
were found in his possession. The
two revolvers with which he intim-
idated the crew where mere toys and
cost less than So. Sheriff Jones
bought these weapons from a young
brother of the robber and will keep
them as souvenirs of the exploit.
Wilson says that he was rendered
desperate by his failure to secure
employment as a telegraph operator
and was determined to obtain 81 900
| with which to make his father safe
on the $1,000 bond given by the lat
ter for his appearance at Waynesville
at the next term of court to answer to
an indictment for felonious assault
and then skip the country.
The money the father refused TO re-
ceiye, and it was through his iii
tiuence that Sam consented TO sur
render to Sheriff Jones.
He had been at work at Lemp's
Brewery in St. Louis for two weeks
before the robbery. He had lost his
place there and decided to hold up
the train, make a big haul and leave
the country. With his last few dol
lars he bought two cheap Derringers
and some dynamite at Meacham's
on the day ofthe robbery. Putting
these in his valise be left St. Louis
during the afternoon of May "a,
caught a freight train and beat his
way out to Pacific. With a hand
kerchief over his face and popgun
pistols in hand he went forth and
held up the train. After the robbery
he concealed himself in havstacks
during daylight and travelled every
night, keeping close to the railroad
track. He stopped at a number OF
farmhouses and got something to
eat. On Wednesday last, a week
after the robbery, he arrived at Rolla
and got dinner there. The next day
he was at Hancock and walked into
a store and bought a suit Of clothes.
He changed clothes in the store.
The merchants recognized him and
knew that he was the manfor whom
the detectives were searching. The
alarm was given, but too late-the
robber had flown. 1t was here that
the officers first heard of him fol-
certain, and other detectives were
started out from st. Louis.
The lone robber with the sack oil
money on his back continued bis
weary journey arriving at his fathers
place near this city about 2 O'Clock
Friday afternoon, where the train
robber was turned over to Sheriff
Jones, brought to Lebanon and
locked up. His wife, a pale-faced,
careworn woman, came in with him
and spent the night at the jail
Losing his valise at the scene of the
robbery was the fatal tell-tale mis-.
take, giving the only clew to 6
most remarkable robbery. Wilson
fully realized this and lost all hopes
OF escape.

right to expect from congress they may certainly demand that legisla- tion condemned by an ordeal of three years disastrous experience shall be removed from the statute books as soon as their representatives can le- gitimately deal with it. It was my purpose to summon congress in spe- cial session early the coming Sep tember that we might enter prompt ly upon the work of tariff reform, which the true interests of the coun- try clearly demand, and which so large majority of the people have shown by their suffrages to desire and expect, and to the accomplish ment of which every effort of the present administration is pledged, but while the tariff reform lost noth- ing of immediate and permanent i'm portance, and must in the near flu ture engage the attention of con gress, it seems to me the financial condition of the country should at once, and before all other subjects be considered by your honorable body. I earnestly recommend the repeal of the provisions of the act passed July IA, 1890, authorizing the purchase of silver bullion, and other legislative action, which may put beyond all doubt or mistake the intention and ability of the govern ment to fulfill it's pecuniary obliga- tions in money universally recogniz- ed by all civilized countries

THE position of the President touching the financial situation as outlined in his message to congress is, as was expected, more in line with eastern opinion on this subject than in touch with southern and western sentiment It emphasizes the fact that the struggle between the friends of silver and it's enemies will be long and bitter. How far Mr, Cleveland's views will be i'm pressedsupon the democratic repre- sentatiyes in congress is of course past conjecture, and time alone will disclose

PRorHErs are generally without honor in their own country, but the democratic party proved a true and great prophet, when it declared in it's national platform, adopted at Chicago in June, 1892, that i've de nounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 fraught with possibilities of danger in the future, which should make all it's supporters, as well as its au- thor, anxious for it's speedy repeal.

TIE pension question is receiving considerable attention just now, and the criticisms are varied and ire quent That the action of the pen sion department may not be mis- understood the Secretary of the In terior has published a letter ex- plaining more fully than had been done before the policy of the admin istration upon the pension question. He shows that no suspensions have been made except of pensions grant ed under an erroneous order of Commissioner Raum in regard to the disability act of 1890. This or der was revoked under the Harrison administration by a ruling declaring it to be illegal, and this ruling alone would necessate revision of the list of over 300,O00 pensions granted under this order.
