ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.

Frisco Train Held Up In Kansas-The
Express Messenger Killed and Passen-
gers Robbed.
ST. LOUIS. Sept, 4.-The Frisco rail-
road was at 800 yesterday morning the
victim of another successful attack by
train robbers. The scene of the crime
was Mound Valley, Kas., a point
$50 miles this side of Wichita.
The messenger, Charles Chapman,
whose home is at Joplin, Mo-, but who
had the run to Burton, Kas.,
was killed by the robbers as he made
an attempt to fee from the car and
thus balk them in their designs upon
the property intrusted to the Wells
Fargo Express Co.
Three men were engaged in the rob-
berry. They attacked the train as it
stopped at Mound Valley and captured
the engineer, John Tabor, of Spring
field; the baggageman, William Lett
vein, of Springfield; Luke Bills, the
chair-car porter, and the fireman. The
brakeman fed under the muzzle of a
gun and escaped to his car, and Con-
ductor Mills sought safety in the Pull
man sleeper.
Failing in an effort to break open
the safe with coal-pick, and baffied
in an effort to get into the mail car,
the desperadoes robbed the passengers
of the smoker and two chair cars of
money, watches, jewelry, knives, to-
bacco, and, in one instance, took
mans coat and hat.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
A Daring Forgery.

have been duped and you have been
victimized,' is the substance of a letter
from Congressman j. C. McDearmon to
Hon. Eli N. Stone, magistrate, merchant
and ex-mayor, and recent candidate
for the postmastership at Milan. The
letter reveals daring forgery which
lost the postoffice for Mr.. Stone. There
were a half dozen applicants for the
Office, which is presidential and pays
good salary. Congressman McDearmon
at first signified his intention to indorse
Mr. Stone, and it was settled in the
minds of Milan people that he would be
the next postmaster.
About that time Postmaster-General
Bissell ISSUED his order that no appli-
cant would be considered who would not
give his entire time and attention to the
Office. Mr.. Stone is a merchant and
some daring enemy seized this oppor-
tunity to defeat him. A telegram was
received by Congressman McDearmon at
Washington from Mr.. Stone saying that
he would not desert his business for the
Office. Mr.. McDearmon accepted it as
virtual withdrawal and indorsed the
present postmaster, he standing second
to Mr.. Stone.
1t now develops that the telegram
from Stone was forgery and the deed
was done in Washington. An investi-
cation at the Western Union Office at
Milan proves that no telegram was ever
sent to Congressman McDearmon. who
writes that he will vigorously prosecute
the forger if he is found, and that he is
going to put forth every effort to find
him.

left the Volunteer State in early youth.
Senator John 7. Morgan, of Alabama,

years. Senator John Martin, of Kansas,
is native of Wilson County, where he
resided until his twenty-second year.

Lottery Concerns Looking for Investments.
The insurance commissioner is re-
ceiving letters these days from what
are known as bond investment COM
panies, asking if there are any laws
with which they have to comply to do
business in Tennessee. So far the
officer has been unable to find any
statute to cover these cases. All they
have to do to begin operations is to file
a copy of their charter with the Secre-
tary of State and an abstract of same in
each county where they expect to do
business. 1t is believed some of these
concerns are already doing business in
the State, but if so they have not COM
piled with the charter law. People
should be extremely careful everywhere
to have nothing to do with them. They
are species of lottery in which the
victim is always found to be the man on
the outside. They have been outlawed
in many States as palpable frauds.
Most of the Western States are inflicted
with them. 1t is sort of multiple
lottery scheme that should be outlawed
in all the States.

you find that your lily-wbite rose of

IT would puzzle the most profound
psychologist to attempt an explana-
tion of New York's suicide statistics.
Great business depression naturally
accounts for an increase in the num-
Der of suicides. but analysis of the
statistics show some interesting facts.
The average suicide, strange as it
may seem, is not the poor man. The
person who seeks oblivion in self-de-
struction is usually he who has lived
in comfort if not in luxury. and who
is too cowardly to face financial re-
verse like a man. He lacks the pluck
necessary to go to his home and
frankly disclose the truth. So he
escapes by a pellet of lead, and leaves
his family with only the stained name
of suicide. Poverty is not the chief
breeder of self-destruction. Perhaps
the most prolific cause of all is the
sudden realization that several down.
ward steps must be taken in the So
cial ladder.
