The Crusade.

Twenty years ago the ladies at q
little inland town in Ohio were pes
tered with their husbands, brothers
and sons taking too much booze al
the village saloon.
Red rain was dealt out in such
quantities over the bar that it made
the Christian women rise up in their
might.
A hand of them went to the saloon
and held a prayer meeting within the
sound of the jingling glasses and thus
the crusade started and went over the
entire country.
Missouri got a dose Of it, but it did
not have a seance in Sedalia but it
was talked about here. In some other
places it was the great fad.
Yesterday the ladies Of the Ohio
street Methodist church celebrated
the twentieth anniversary of the in
auguration of the crusade by an all
day meeting at the church.
The ladies prayed, sang, had ex-
perience talks and at noon served a
lunch.
God bless the ladies, crusade or no
crusade.

HE CANNOT LIVE.
An Accidental Explosion at Me-
Enroe's Stone Quarry
Friday Afternoon.

A quarryman named August Bird
was 90 badly injured by an explosion
at McEnrse's quarry near Georgetown
Friday afternoon that the attending
physicians say he cannot recover.
Bird was inserting a charge Of
dynamite into hole which had been
drilled into the rock, when in some
manner the cartridge exploded.
The force was terrific, and large
fragments of stone were scattered in
every direction. Bird was struck in
numerous places and fell insensible to
the ground. His companions thought
that he was instantly killed, but he
was found to be breathing.
DR.. S. q Crawford was summoned
to attend him and after an examina.
ton concluded that Bird would die of
his injuries. His right leg was shat
tered, his left. arm broken at the
elbow, his right eye blown from its
socket, and there was terrible gashes
On his forehead and the back of his
head. The latter wound is thought
to he sufficient to result in his death.
Drs. Crawford, Trader and Scales
visited the patient Yesterday for the
purpose Of performing surgical oper.
alton. but found him unable to endure
it and did not attempt it.
Bird is a resident Of Georgetown
and has family there.

of the trip happened on the return,
when one of the party, who was the
proud possessOr Of a burrO and who
was in unusually good spirits, gave the
burro a punch with his pike, which
Immediately resulted in his landing
in some stunted pine growth near by.
He was not hurt for he had not far to

er than Il big dog, but he did not re-
peat the experiment.
We proceeded without further &C.

caught the evening train TOR Mexico,
arriving there the same day, having
accomplished the entire journey in
two days, with some very red noses
and some badly burned faces, it is
true, and with weary limbs, but with
minds at peace with all mankind, for
ambitions treasured since boyhOod

knowledge which money could not

satisfied and the probabilities are that
he will hang up his sock Sunday

A DARING EXPLOIT.
Seven Mounted Bandits Attack
an NJ, K. & 7. Passenger
Train at kelso.
William Milne, a Fireman, Has
His Jaw and Tongue
Shot Away.

A daring attempt was made to hold
up and lob NJ, X. Il 7. passenger
train No. } at kelso. Indian Terri
tory, at $50 Friday evening. This
train left here the previous morning.
1t was in charge of Jack Truitt, con-
ductor, George Lyons, engineer. and
VIM. Melne, fireman, all residents
of Parsons, Kansas.
Kelso is small station in the In
dian Territory, situated 2O6 miles
south of Sedalia, and II miles south
of Parsons.
There is no depot there, but simply
a canvas covered concern which serves
As such.
The tram is due at KelsO at about
$50 o'clock p. m. Shortly before
this time a gang of seven heavily
armed and mounted men entered the
little town and began to intimidate all
who showed any inclination to investi-
gate the strange proceedings. The
north switch was thrown open with
the evident purpose of causing the
engineer to bring his train to a stop
when he saw that there was DANCES
ahead.
As the train came in sight of the
switch the engineer saw that it was
open, and at once suspected the state
Of affairs. He took desperate chances
and pulled the throttle wide open.
The train shot into the open switch,
passed over three Others, and as if by
a mircle passed onto the main line
without accident. The lower switch
had fortunately been overlooked by
the train robbers, and was closed.
As the train entered the switch the
robbers saw that they had been foiled,
the engineer having failed to stop,
and they at once opened fusilade
with their Winchesten.
Fireman Milne was struck by ball
which passed entirely through his face,
a part of his jaw being torn away.
The train did not slacken its speed
until Vinita was reached when condus-
tOf AIuctt tcicRiapucu euC uC"o "
headquarters at Parsons. None Of
the passengers were hurt.
At Vinita, which is only five miles
from the scene of the exploit, armed
guards, as Is customary, were taken
on board.
The wounded fireman accompanied
by his wife, was brought to Sedalia
yesterday morning and was taken u
the NJ, X. Il T. hospital. HIS left
jaw and two-thirds of his tongue were
shot away, and he is unable to articu-
late a word.
DR.. Yancey thinks the ball that
struck him was firm a Winchester
rifle.
Milne is 35 years old and has been
in the employ Of the company for
seven years.
1t is a strange fact that Engineer
Lyons had a similar experience at
Kelso once before, and this led him to
act as he did on this occasion.
