Governor Stone is said to have called
for pistol, when the Missouri Pacific
train-Of which he was passenger

know that the laws of Missouri, as do
the laws of all the other states, forbid
the carrying of weapons? And don't
he know that such laws operate to pre-

from carrying weapons to defend them

Is Truth Stranger than Fictions

Ed. Register-Some thoughts under
the above caption, strayed into my
mind while rejecting upon the status
of this country in some of her social
and business relations. In particular
my mind was impressed with some
trivial events of the past week. The
great public mind this year, with GER
| tain political movements and fortunes
to assist, seem to be so engrossed with
the great National Exhibition that
many Minor matters which would
otherwise arouse society, are lightly
thought of, or in the rush passed I'M
heededly over.
Now, among other things, have been
set a-thinking over the Express rob-
berries that have been attempted so re-
Gently and some of them very success
fully executed. Within a score of
miles or so from the great city of st.
Louis. Several cases of this kind have
recently taken place, and the last one
the boldest and most successful of all.
1t is SO needless to go over the minu-
ti9 of this incident-I had better call
it great crime against the State, and
against society, generally, as well.
Here was a large train of passenger
cars, with express and baggage equip
ments, and a large list of passengers,
amongst whom was his excellency the
Governor of the State, the Hon., the
treasurer, some detectives and many
other citizens, both ladies and gentle
men. Altogether there may have been
scores, or even hundreds. Besides
this multitude, the train had it's con-
ductor, engineer and fireman, with
others as expressman and pOrters, etc.
Now, what surprises us is this, that,
between the hours of and 10 o'clock
p. NJ, one single person has the tenn
Gritty to stop that train of cars, place
its engineer and fireman in the attitude
OF prisoners for the time being, and,
while they and some others were at
some distance looking on, this one man,
pistol In hand, blows open the express
car, makes the express agent hand out
all the money he nts-,auhe-. more
than he could carry-and bids them
goodbye telling each and all that they |
might now proceed, while he also
went deliberately on his way. All |
this in thickly settled community, |
aud since that hour neither tale nor |
tidings have been had of this public |
robber!
What seems to us SO strange is, |
that through all this episode no one of |
all that company seems to have offered
the least assistance to the express agent |
who was so beleagured in his little den,
and whose life was so greatly imper-
riled by dynamite, powder and lead, in
Jhe hand of this fearless outlaw
FLEETWOOD.

The Odd Fellows sent Jas. Smiley t,
Louis to a hospital to-day. Mr.. S. wa
stricken with paralysis in his RICH
side last Monday. The lodge will pay
expenses while there, and his railroad
fare to and from the city. He was &C
companied by j. S. Benson.
j. S. Jordan was in town Saturday
on legal business.
A car load of hogs was shipped from
this place Monday.
The entertainment given by the Odd
Fellows was not a very great success.
Several parties were absent and one Of
the plays had to be abandoned. To
atone for this, the admission fee was
reduced from fifteen and twenty-five,
to FIVE and ten cents. A very fair
audience was present, and, to judge
from the applause, it fairly appreciated
the work.
Joseph Pierce, breakman, a former
resident of Annapolis, was seriously

on duty:
Mrs. May disposed of the lumber left
by the Doctor, to good advantage to a
st. Louis firm, whose representative
was here all week loading it on cars
for shipment.
Mrs. j. S. Benson celebrated her
birthday, by giving a euchre party to
her friends Wednesday evening. The
parlor was filled with ladies and gentle
men, who played euchre, dominoes and
several other games, until low noon,
when all were invited into the dining
room. where ice cream and cake were
served. A delightful time was had,
and all voted it grand success. May
the lady live to see many birthdays.

The best article on the Underwood
case that has come to my notice, was
from the pen OF enquirer" in last
weeks REGISTER. / think that article
voices the sentiments of the people in
this meek of the woods" but must
disagree W tn your correspondent from
the west end. Mr.. Thomas Callahan.
Mr.. Callahan is beautiful writer, and
it is positive pleasure to read after
him, but can't believe that it would
have been better to have lynched
Underwood. Two wrongs do not make
one right. Had he been lynched,
Arnold would have been avenged, but
our neighborhood would now contain
instead of one. No, /
would sooner have seen Underwood
turned loose, than to have seen him
lynchcd. And when he gets out, If he
ever gets thirsty for gore again, hope
the poor old tramps may stay awake
while in his neighborhood, and let him
take few shots at some of our fine

cortege. The body was carried into
the sanctuary where Rev. Father
Wernert, of Ar ;adia, conducted the
funeral services, after which the re-
mains were taken to Middlebrook

laid at rest. At the grave, very sor-
rowful scene was witnessed, Miss Mat

with grief swooned away and for
time was unconscious; however, in a
little while she became conscious and
was borne to the carriage and driven
home feeling as comfortable as the
circumstances would permit. The re-
mains were followed by the largest
concourse of people ever yet seen going
from this place. There were 48 We
hicles and four loaded cars in all to
accommodate the immense throng who
wished to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to him who now lies resting in
peace. Deceased was just nearing his
maturity, and would have been FL years
of age the 22d of July next. Mrs. M.

of Mrs. Mason, came down to attend

1t was correctly stated that the Oma-

Geddis & Seerie, of Denver Colo, and
it is now currently reported that the
matter is still unsettled; what or where
the trouble is we are unable to say, but
as the matter looks now, it may be
worse before it is definitely settled.
Whether settled or not, several of our

Singing to the Herd.

Some cowboys and cattlemen laugh
ingly assured me that they only sing on
watch to keep themselves awakn; others
say they sing, talk loud or make noise
Just to let the cattle know they are ap-
preaching 30 as not to frighten and
stampede them, but the greater number
hold, as l myself had read and been led
10 believe, that the sound of the human
voice, singing, talking or calling out
cheerfully, quiets and reassures the ami
mails. However it may be, they all sing
and talk or whistle to them, and among
my most vivid and picturelike recollec-
tions is one of certain night when an
aching head and heavy heart held me
awake, and slipping from the house in
the little hours went aimlessly across
the level plain toward where big herd
was camped.
When within 300 OF 400 yards of the
bunch, l could see, under the white
Texas moonlight, the dark mass of cat
tie and occasionally silhouette, between
me and the sky, of one of the guards on
his pony, and in the intense loneliness of
the plains night the singing of the one
boyish voice holding his untaught, un-
conscious way through "A Fountain
Filled With Blood" and the whistling
of his companion on little harmonicon
Sweet Home, as they came round past
me in turn, were as lovely and touching
sounds as / ever heard.-Kansas City

Parian Marble.

1t has often been said that the Parian
marble was exhausted by the ancients,
but such is not the case. The chief
Athenian sculptor Of today, Mr.. Broutos,
uses it commonly for his finer work,
though he also uses the Pentelec marble
for large statues and groups. The Parian
Is winter, the Pentelec inclining to gray
The latter is sandy and gritty as COM
pared with the Parian, while the defect
OF the Parian marble is its larger crys-
talllne character, especially if it is not
carefully quarried. The best of the
modern quarries are free from this fault
and 1t Is this which Professor Broutos
uses, His reliefs Of the Twelve Gods"
all exceedingly beautiful, and partic.
ularly the "Pallas" and "Mars"-are
carved in slabs Of the most transparent
Parian marble.
Ihere Is now chance for some ener.
getic American to corner" all the Pa
nan marble in the world, except that
which has left the quarry and been
carved into statues, temples, etc. AN
islander OF Paros, who owns the marble
mountain, wishes to sell it subject to q
lease which is not likely to be operative,
because the leasing parties have ex.
nausted themselves in building tracks
elevators and such things to get the mar.
bic out and do not seem to have capital
enough to go on with the work of omar.
