Another Train Rohber Captured by Con-

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, June Soon
ductor Al Glazier is the hero of the
great southwest Near the little sta
ton OF Wharton. the first on the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad north
of Oklahoma in the Cherokee strip. he
performed the coup of a life time
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
a tough-looking young man boarded
the north-bound Santa Fe train at Ok
lahoma City. There was nothing re-
markable about his appearance He
had neither beard nor mustache, and
as he entered the first smoking car the
passengers only noticed that he had an
air of bravado, slight swagger and
carried large package done up in yell
low paper. He took a seat in the front
end of the car and carefully tilted
his package, resting one end of it on
his arm Just as the train crossed
Black Bear creek approaching the sta
ton at Wharton, the young man took
his package and entered the car closet
In few minutes he opened the door
and looked out Conductor Glazier was
standing in the aisle at the time
Throwing open the closet door, the
young man grabbed a murderous-look-
ing Winchester rife and leveling 1t at
the astonished conductor. said:
Throw up your hands!"
The conductor did not demonstrate,
and after he had complied with the re-
quest the bold desperate commanded
him, in language most forcible, to pull
the bell rope and stop the train. This
the conductor also did, the dozen male
passengers in the coach preserving all
the while a dignified silence After be-
| ing accommodated this way by the con-
ductor the young desperate gave q
| further order for him to get of the
| train Conductor Glazier did net tarry
| on the order of his going, and the BAN
| dit followed with his Winchester al
| most against the conductors head
The conductor jumped of on the ground
| and the bandit followed.
| At this time the two men were less
| than five feet apart, A noise in the ex-
| press car attracted the bandits atten-
ton. Conductor Glazier saw his eyes
leave the sights on the Winchester and
| with a desperate lunge he planted a
| blow with his fist square on the rob
ber's nose. The blow felled him and
| picking up the Winchester the conduc-
tor proceeded to beat him until he was
both docile and harmless Then the
train men carried him on board the
| train and he was taken to Wichita He
had on his person,two sticks of dynamite
and some torpedoes- When he had
been put aboard the train the unsuccess-
full desperate said his name was Eman-
| uel Herrick.
At Wichita he was locked in the
| county Jail and will remain there I'M
| til some arrangements can be made to
find safe place in Oklahoma for his
confinement. He claims that he is only
| 10 years old. He was raised near Madi-
| son in Greenwood county, Kansas, and
| went to Oklahoma on November last

who fought for it."
The programme for the day has been
outlined and it is replete with interest
ing features from beginning to end.
The evening will be made grandly
gorgeous by all the arts of which pyro-
technical genius is master, the figures
to be presented being those of most
prominence in the history of our indie
pendence as q nation.
The people of the various states hav-
ing representative buildings at the fair
have been having great times within
the past few days. Indiana, California
and Texas have just completed their ex-
hibits and have done the opening
honors in magnificent style. More nota-
BILE than the others is probably the Cal
ifornia building, ON account of the
magnitude of it's dimensions and the
variety and volume of its contents-
Built on the lines of the old Spanish
missions of the Pacific coast it is ex-
-ceedingly picturesque, and filed as it is
with the wonderful productions of the
Golden State it affords the visitor a
world OF pleasure in the contemplation
of its beauties.
There are but few of the state build
ings now unfinished, and those states

FRANCE AND SIAM.

Bangkok to Be BOmbarded for Some
Reason.
LONDON, June ga dispatch to the
Times from Bangkok says the French
gunboat Lutin has anchored in the
river opposite the center of the city
and has made preparations to fire upon
the city. The topmasts of the gunboat
have been struck and guns have been
mounted in the fighting tops. The
French admiral in his flagship is ex-
pected to arrive from Saigon.
The dispatch adds that though Siam
is most anxious to maintain friendship
with the French, it is quietly deter
mined to resist aggression and is pre-
pairing for any contingency that may
arise. Three ships have been sunk at
the entrance of the Nickname river on
which Bangkok is situated, about twen-
ty miles from its mouth. This reduces
the channel to the narrowest limits
possible for use and the government Is
ready at moments notice to complete
the block to prevent the ingress and
egreSS of sesSels.

been alleviated. The provisions for
caring for the children is another fea
ture of the fair service that is especial
ly commendable. By its aid tired
mothers are relieved of their precious
burdens for the time and enabled to go
about unhampered by their little ones,
whom in many instances they must
take with them or remain at home
themselves.
The complaints of extortion which
were so frequent a short time ago are
now no longer heard, or at least are be-
coming very rare, and the impression,
which had been somewhat general, that
people were being robbed at the fair is
gradually becoming effaced. There are
plenty Of free water and toilet accom-
modations, and lunches may be had at
moderate charge. This being the
case, person of modest means need
not go hungry, thirsty or dirty while
visiting the fair.

John Berry Arrives at Chicago First and
Wins the Thousand Mile Race.
CHICAGO, June 2s.-The first of the
cowboy racers, John Berry, of Chadron,
Neb., riding the chestnut, Poison, COM
pleted the 1, 900 mile race and reached
the worlds fair entrance at $50 o'clock
yesterday morning and tainted just
as he had completed his long
ride. He left Freeport,. Ill, at
$50 o'clock last Monday night and
made the last $50 miles in just twenty
four hours. He reached the suburbs of
Chicago shortly after daylight far ahead
of his associates. Smith and Gillespie
left Freeport two hours behind him
and Albright reported at DeKa1b at 8
a. N.
Berry was covered with dust and with
the perspiration rolling down his
bronzed face and dropping on the neck
of the jaded broncho that could not be
urged into a trot He was clad in
grimy white shirt and a pair of mud
covered yellowish jeans and wore a
worn out timber trimmed cowboy hat.
He was barely able to half tumble
from his saddle in front of Col. Cody's
tent. Then he fell to the ground so
weak and faint that he was unable to
rise to his feet or grasp the proffered
hand of Col. Cody.
Emmett Albright came in second, ar
irving at Ills. He made the last 146
miles in twenty-four hours. His horse
was in fairly good condition
The race was started at Chadron,
June Is, at $40 o'clock, thus making
the time of the race for the leaders
few hours less than fourteen days. The
distance is computed to be 993 miles

hibits in the large buildings of the fair
Among the latter is Oregon, whose fair
appropriation was made at so late a
date that it was decided impractieab1e
to attempt the erection of a building.
The state, however, is very creditably
represented in the various department
buildings of the exposition.
just at present the weather is very
warm and we are having foretaste of
what we may expect during the heat of
the midsummer days. Several cases Of
prostration have resulted from in1udi-
cious exposure on the part of too eager
sightseers, and the patrol wagons of the
police department have been called
into requisition to convey the victims
of inordinate curiosity to the hospital.
With one thing and another the
police of the fair have been kept pretty
busy since the opening day, although
the number of crimes committed in the
grounds has been surprisingly small.
Once in awhile some luckless individual
meets with loss or an accident and inn
mediately resorts to the patrol, which
attends to his case with promptness
and dispatch. Since the cessation of
building operations there have been but
few accidents to workmen, the only
death reported for a long time occur
ring few days ago.
This was very distressing case. One
of a number of men who were working
near the roof OF the Manufactures
building lost his hold and fell one hun
dred and seventy feet to the floor be-
low A great many visitors were in the
building at the time, and they beheld a
sight which unnerved the strongest of
them and caused number of women
to faint. The poor man was dashed
nto a shapeless mass and never re-
gained consciousness.
The hospital service at the fair is ex-
cellent in every respect and through
its agency many broken limbs have
been restored and much suffering has

HOW TO PREVENT sUNsTRokE.
Worlds Fair Physicians Give Out Valuable
Hints for Visitors.

Worlds Fair Physicians Give Out Valuable
Hints for Visitors.
Drs. J. L. Hillmantel and w. II. AL
port, of the medical staff of the worlds
fair, were asked about the liability of
exposition visitors to sunstroke, what
they should do to prevent insulation
and all its phases, and what treatment
should be Immediately resorted to by
friends or any bystander possessed of
ordinary presence of mind. DIR. Hill
mantel said:
$40 begin at the beginning, visitors
should battle before coming to the fair.
They will be so refreshed by the bath
that they will be well prepared for
days sightseeing. They should eat
before leaving home, prudently, of
course, and while on the grounds should
eat. They should not wander around
all day on one meal, as exhaustion is
altogether likely to attend such long
fasting.
Coming to the fair men and women
should wear light clothing or clothing
suita BILE to the weather, and on warm,
oppressive day they should pay atten-
ton to their footwear, wearing light
and easy shoes. Headgear should be
looked after. Women are better off in
this respect, and the men should wear
light hats, and when in the shade
should remove them frequently.
'.But above all, visitors should be
careful about what they drink. The
water used is of the utmost Importance.
and none but pure water should be
used. Moderate drinking should be in
dulged, even when water is used, and if
ice cream soda or other cold drinks are
taken, they should be INDUCED in mod
erately, drank slowly, very deliberate
ly, and the party had better seat him
self while drinking"
''No one" interposed DR.. Airport,
fought to undertake the task Of doing
the fair in one day. 1t can't be done,
and the effort is sure to result in
juriously, even if the person is not
stricken or Frustrated while on the
grounds"
DR.. Hillmantel, continuing, said: 81
recommend Wooded island as grateful
retreat while the sun is hottest, and all
visitors should keep in the shade as
much as possible, get into the build
ings; and when out on the avenues
every man and woman should be pro-
vided with sunshade.'
"Avoid rushing or running, eat
well, but moderately, drink moder-
ately. and keep out of the suns
direct heat as much as possible"
said both the doctors, ..and visitors will
find such precautions sure to enable
them to make the tour of the fair COM
fortably and without danger
Women especially said DIR. Hill
mantel, weight themselves down with
bundles and wraps. They should avoid
this and come to the grounds in light
marching order

THE ANARCHIST PARDON.


What Is Thought OF Gov. Altgeld at
Springfield, III.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June 29.-Public
sentiment here is somewhat divided
over the action of Gov. Altgeld in par
doning the anarchists. Such men as
Senator Palmer, Judge w. ]. Allen. of
the United States supreme court, and
Hon. S. P. Wheeler decline to express
any opinion, while ex-senator Lloyd
f. Hamilton, one of the ablest criminal
lawyers in central Illinois, indorses the
action unreservedly, and declares that
there was no case against the men and
that their conviction was brought about
by newspaper clamor.
His partner, Hon. James w. Patton,
speaks with more reserve, but is GER
tain that Neebe ought never to have
been convicted, and thinks that if Gov.
Oglesby had good grounds on which to
commute the sentences of Fielder and
Schwab, Altgeld proba bly, had equally
as good grounds, after they had under
gone imprisonment for six years, to 60
a step further and restore them to lib
erty.
James A. Connolly, late republican
United States marshal for the southern
district of Illinois, thinks the pardon
as to Neebe was proper, but that
Fielder and Schwab were not entitled
to clemency.
Clinton L. Conkling, a conservative
republican lawyer, deprecates the par
don and thinks it will have tendency
to unsettle society.
The two democratic newspapers, the
Register and the Monitor, sustain the
governor, while the republican Journal
declares that the governor doubtless
felt that he had to take the action he
