The officials of the Kansas City,

made short work of the scoundrels
who sought to hold up and rob one
Of its trains, Fortunately they had
learned Of the conspiracy beforehand
and sent out dummy train loaded
with policemen to the locality where
the robbery was to have been COM
mitted. The train was signaled by
the thieves as usual. The engineer
stopped his train. One robber Gov

were decoys, entered the express car,
which was opened without any delay
by the police concealed in it. AS
the outcome of the cheerful surprise
party two Of the scOundrels were
killed, and the third one, who had
been holding the engineer and fire.
man, made his escape, though posse
is in pursuit and probably will cap
ture him. The other three, as al
ready noted, were simply decoys sent
out by the police authorities to play
their dangerous part, which they did
successfully. The whole affair was
over and the dummy train back to
st. Joseph in forty-fve minutes, leav-
ing the road clear for the regular
passenger and express train which
the bandits thought they were hold
ing up when they fell into the neat
little trap set for them. Thus in
two cases train robbers were foiled
within a week-thOse in Missouri by
the police, who were aware of their
designs, and those at Carbondale, in
Illinois, who were beaten off by a
courageous train crew. In the former
case there is no call for reward, as
the police were doing their plain duty
and at all hazard, but in the latter
case the trainmen took their lives ia
their own hands and successfully de-
Tended their train. What is the ILL

other roads by supplying their crews
with Winchester repeating shotguns

matter. As there will be at least
ten men on all these trains fully
armed they will be able to protect
their trains against any assault from
these road bandits. Other roads
should do the same.

than medicine. Learn how to tell a

Learn to keep your troubles to your

THIS year it Is the shot, not the
armor-plate, that commands admira-
tion. Last year our ordnance ex-
perts were delighted with tests show
ing the apparent impregnability of
improved nickel-steel armor. Now
they have found newly invented
shot, already in use In Europe, which
goes through nine-inch nickel-steel
armor like rifle ball through a
cheese. In the experiments made at
Sandy Hook, with shot eight inches
in diameter and twenty-eight inches
long, the armor was pierced as II
with an auger. The shot were prac-
tically perfect and might have been
used again. Thus goes the race of
science and invention in producing
mighty forces for attack and de-
tense.

of century ago and the handsome
city about the Capitol to-day is as
striking as comparison between
the nation over which Wash
il gton presided and that which
now hourishes beneath the stars and
stripes. Both present miracles of
growth which even we Americans,
accustomed to discussing such occur
rences, frequently fail to fully appre-
ciate. The celebration was worthy
of the time and the event, and adds
another notable occurrence and dra-
matte incident to the records OF the
Columbian year and the history of
the nation.

RAILROAD and express companies
are waking up to. the justice of in
spring their employees to defend
trains against robbers The Illinois
Central and the American Express
Company have united In presenting
six gold medals and $4,000 In cash to
the men who defended the train at
Centralla, The express company has
a standing reward Of $500 for every
man who takes part In killing or cap
turing a train robber on IT'S lines.
Other railroads are getting ready not
only to reward their employees for
bravery but also to supply them with
means of defense. The Michigan
Central is about to arm its passenger
trains with shotguns Of a peculiar
make, especially adapted for the pur-
pose to which they are to be devoted.
The outbreak of train robberies which
came up so suddenly is likely to come
to as sudden an end.

BUFFALO TIMES: Express cars of
the future should be built like arse
nails, or ironed and banded similar to
modern gunboat, with port holes
and guns ready loaded to fire through
them whenever gang of robbers
shall hold up the train. The car
ought to be absolutely bullet proof
and able to withstand an assault
When money is expressed by the
thousands on single trip through
from New York to Chicago, or vice
versa, the temptation to halt the
train and fight for the money will
always allure certain desperadoes in
the attempt, so long as nothing but
wooden doors and a supposedly I'M
armed timid clerk or two are all that
stands in the way. Encase the ex-
press cars in steel, carry an arsenal
inside with men who are not afraid
to man the guns, and the robbers oc-
cupation will be gone, as far as rob
bling that particular car is concerned.
AS for the passenger coaches-well,
let the passengers look out for them
selves. In these days Of banks and
checks even a gentleman shouldn't
carry more than $50 in his pocket on
journey-and If he is going to Chi
cago, he should always leave his
watch and diamonds at home any
way.
