PARSONS, Kas. May "A bold and par
italy successful train robbery committed
by six bandits. supposed to be members
OF the notorious Starr gang OF

place at Pryor creek, Indian territory,
the scene OF many daring robberies, at
$3.50 o'clock tonight. The train was the
Missouri, Kansas 4 Texas soulh.bound
passenger, which left here at 1850 this
afternoon. When the train reached Pryor
creek, which is at a bend in the road
and an admirable place for robbery,
elk masked men emerged from the dark
ness and, after signaling the train,
proceeded to the front end. The engi-
neer, fireman, conductor and brakeman
were quickly covered with revolvers and
marched from the train. While two OF the
men guarded the trainmen, the other
four entered the express car. They
threatened the messenger with pistol and
knife and ordered him to open the safe,
but he refused to accede to their demands.
Failing in this they went to the
back pari of the train and relieved oil the
passengers of their money and valuables.
Considerable CONSERVATION obtained and
several ladies tainted. After depositng
the money and valuables in sacks, the
bandits backed out Of the car firing their
pistols into the air and escaped in the
darkness.
President Martin OF the Kansas City,
Pittsburg x Gull road WAS among the
passengers. The amount OF booty secured
by the bandits is unknown, but it is sup
posed to be considerably over $1,000.

UNCONSCIOUS FOR DAYS.
Case of Now Jersey Girl Who Fell
From q Car.

ORANGE, y. j., May Zone of the most
remarkable cases which has ever been
known to New Jersey pathologists is that
OF AlisH Mary McCsnn. a young woman
who fell from a South Orange horse car on
April l3 and has since lain on bed in
the Orange memorial hospital in a state
of coma and without once regainng con-
seriousness. During her eighteen days of I'M
consciousness the Young woman has been
under the constant surveillance and treat
ment of two physicians and has been ex-
amined by a number OF specialists but
nothing can be done to bring her out OF the
comatose condition. Miss Mccain was en-
ployed in a household in Newark as a
house maid. On April l3 she started to
visit the orphan home in South Orange
with bundle of presents While on the
way up the road toward that village all
the passengers left the car except her.
The driver was behind time and lashed
his horses into run. The girl became
frightened aud the driver and conductor
laughed at her and urged the horses to 90
even faster Finally her fright overcame
her reason and she rushed to the rear
platform and jumped off. In falling her
head struck the hard roadway and she
was picked up senseless. Since that time
she has not moved or spoken. The most
detailed examinations have failed to find
any fracture or conclusion and the physi-
clans believe that clOt OF blood has
formed on the brain causing partial par
alysis of the brain. The patient is now
growing weaker and unless she revives
coon the skull will be trepanned and an
attempt made to remove the clot.

FIVE MEN DROWN.
A Boat Capsizes in the Raging Red

SEARCY, Ark, May Five men lost
their lives in the raging current of the
Little Red river, near here, today. The
river is very high. as a result of the recent
rains. and the CURRENTS very swift. Allen
Brown, Robinson Caruth. Joe Scott, Sandy
Cooksey and Allen Booth were employed
at the government rock quarry two miles
south of this place. They got in a small
boat at noon today and attempted to cross
the river to their dinner. When they
reached the middle OF the river the raging
torrent overcame their strength and their
boat was thrown violently against rock,
wrecking il. The men were thrown into
the river and soon carried down with the
the current. Their bodies have not been
recovered

A perfect system OF weather reporting
has been adopted by the government. aud
1t promises 10 possess more interest and
value Tor tho farmers than any other class
except spectators. II they will follow the
reports closely. Voluntary observers in
nearly every county In the various states
are supplied with blank reports on which
q weekly summary OF the weather and
progress OF growing crops is given. Many
observers are supplied with rain gauges
and thermometers and the rainfall and
heat arc reported. These reports are sent
in on Saturday OF each week and the first
OF the next weak a faithful picture of the
condition OF The agricultural country is
presented to us.
We call attention to this in tho belief
that many are failing TO study these sum-
maries aud get their full values. The far
mer in one county may know what the To-
cal prospect is, but in this age OF cheap
and quick transportation a poor or good
prospect in one locality or even in one
state does not influence the market
greatly. lie wants TO know what the con-
ditions are all over the country. The local
weather may be such that lie can SOW his
oats in good time. while farmers in most
other sections are beiated a month or
more. This is an important item. lie
then knows that the chances for good
oat crop are materially lessened at the
start.
Take corn as an illustration. 4 wet
May and June are nearly always followed
by light yield OF this grain. The man
who has a large acreage OK corn, or the
one who usually feeds extensively, is di-
rectly interestedin knowing ii wet weather
fetards planting or delays cultivation
when most needed. Drouths in August
are capable Of cutting en- expected yield
. to 50 per cent. II one follows these re-
ports with care be can tell in a great de-
gree just how the crop appears and can
gauge his plans accordingly.
An exceedingly hot summer in the North
is rarely followed by a big yield of
potatoes. Medium cool weather is needed
for their best development, IL these re-
porte show q succession of hot waves over
the northern states in August, the farmer
who has potatoes need not hurry them
into the market lie has tho assurance
that the heated weather has curtHiied the
weld. 1t Is true thai good judgment must
be used in weighing these reports, bat
when this is done they sre invaluable.
They help emphasize the tact that we are
living in progressive age. aud that the
farmer who does not read is badly handi-
capped. With the regular crop reports,
the weekly weather and crop summaries,
and the experiment station bulletins from
all the states, many OF which we sum-
Marie in this department, the thinking
farmer has the means for keeping abreast
OF the times. TIE SENTINEL proposes to
do what it can TO keep its farm readers
posted in all matters affecting them.

Mr.. Terry's Remedy.

To THE AGRICULTURAL EDlTOR-SF: In

Teuy's remedy for nard times, namely:
Increase the amount we receive aud de-
crease the amount expend. iIe would
accomplish this by obtaining larger yields,
thus having more 10 sell aud making his
crop cost him less per bushel or ton for produc-
ton. | know that Mr. Terry has the reputa'
ton OF being successful farmer aud thaI he
Is reputed not to suffer from hard times. On
the face OF things, his remedy should be ac-
cepted as sure one. lie Is prosperous, aud
this Is his advice. But there are two points
that should be considered.
Mr. Terry claims 10 raise 90 TO So bushels Of
wheat 10 the acre. while the average yield is,
i think, about IL bushels. As our crop runs
about 10000. coo. we readily see that II all
could get his yields, the wheat crop would
amount TO 100000 bushels more. When we
raise only two-hiths OF That amount wheat is
worth only 60 or 66 cents buthel. What
would be the price IL We raised 100000
bushelp Can any one imRRiney Oh course
this cannot be done, as very few men have AS
good natural soil as Mr., TerTys farm, but this
only proves that very few can then hope 10
prosper as he does. '-.-
The other point il this: This gentleman is
reputed TO get sl.J00 or $4,000 a year for his
agricultural writing sna speaking. Now, II
man farms only comparatively few acres
and can get good yields his interest on the in
maintain his family upon what he made on the
farm, ne could not buy even what labOr-saving
