Train Held up and Robbed.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE Allan
tic express of st. Louis and San
Francisco train No. I, due to
arrive at $3.50 a. m. was held up at
$40 this morning at st. James,
one hundred miles southwest of

on this road is in the hands Of the
Wells Fargo company, and, as
most of their business, is through

character, the haul is believed to
have been good one. E. d. Fur
geson, the messenger in charge of
the car, is unable to give any esti-
mate of the amount secured.

Charles F. O'Ferrall, Coz, A. s.
Buford and Lietenant Governor
Hoge Tyler have been waging a
bitter war for the gubernatOrial
nomination. Mr.. OFarrall has
served a number. of terms in Con-
gress. Col. Bufofd has been pro-
minent in the legislature of Nir-
ginia and has been for long time
identified cOnspicuOusly with rail-
way and other business enterprises
of a public character in addition to
his service as president OF
the State Agricultural society,
while Lieutenant-GOvernOr Tyler
has served his county in the legis-
lature and is yet lieutenant-gover-
nor of the state. There seems to
be no definite political issue among
these gentlemen on which they
differ so far as the people are ad;.
vised. They are alike Democrats,
and claim that the highest welfare
of the state issues upon the perpet-
uation of power in the hands Of the
Democratic party.

What Was It?

Last night about II 40 at or near
the corner of Devine street two
men were heard in supposed alter
cation, and one man was heard to
say &c d you, | want your
money and Pm going to have it,"
Then there was the apparent flight
of one man and pursuit, and soon
after a pistol shot was heard. Moth
ing more can be learned of the affair,
but it supposed that at the time an
attempt at highway robbery was
made. but how it ended there are

IS IN DOUBT.
The Bill to Help out the National
Banks.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. H.
The bill of the finance committee
of the Senate to allow national
banks to issue currency to par
value of bonds deposited by them
in the treasury, will be fairly
launched on its voyage in the Sen
ate today, but it is sure to eX-
perience very stormy weather that
will retard if it does not pre-
vent its reaching port in
safely. 1t will take good manage
ment to overcome the obstacles to
the bill, one of these being the
amendment offered yesterday by
Mr.. Cockrell Democrat, of Mis-
sourD directing the secretary of
the treasury to redeem such of the
outstanding two per cent. bonds, as
may be offered, and to pay for
them at par, with accrued in
terest, by new issue of green
backs. Mr.. Cockrell calculates that
if his amendment be incorporated
in the bill, and if the bill becomes
law, more than twenty of the
twenty-five million of these bonds
will be presented and that thus an
issue of more than S20,0OO,0OO in
greenbacks will be put in circula-
ton. 1t is understood that he also
has in reserve several other pro-
positions that will not be very
pleasing to national banks, or
their friends in the Senate.
The new Democratic senator
from Nebraska, Mr.. Allen, is also
prepared to attack the bill with an
amendment, for the suspension of
the interest on bonds, deposited by
the national banks, on the basis
for increased circulation. There
are therefore lively times ahead of
the bill, and Mr.. Voorhees, will
have to put forward all his re-
sources to prevent its being swamp
ed in the Senate.

Careless Driving.

Yesterday afternoon about 6
O'Clock Mrs. BrodIe Barnes was
driving up South Flores street in a
buggy. She was run into by a
horse driven by man. She was
thrown to the ground and received
a severe shaking-up, and spring
of the buggy was broken. The
man proceeded on his way and
left Mrs. Barnos to look after her
vehicle, without even stopping to
see whether she was hurt or not.
His name was not learned and
therefore no arrest could be made.

discoverer Mr.. Ferguson of 422 South
Water street has cow that gives about
as much milk as any COW in Wichita.

been there before him who had pumped
the COW as dry sponge. Mr. Furger-
son was naturally hot. and reported the
matter to the police. Yesterday morning
he went to milk the cow again and found
her almost as dry as the previous morning.
This time, however, the thief of the pre-
vious night had not MIXED the COW, but
be stole her feed and the poor creature was
in no humor to give milk in the morning
after undergoing an all night fast. Last
night Mr.. Ferguson guarded the stable
with a double-barrel shotgun for fear the
thief would come back and steal the COW.
