Where it came from and what il
was intended for is a mystery, but
the police theory, though a startling
one, is yet plausible. They claim
that the dynamite was obtained by
the defeated Lemont strikers, after
the battle of Friday, and was put
where it was found with the inten'
ton of blowing up the train that
brought the militia the following
morning. That the plot failed was
doubtless due to the heavy rain thai

BANK DOORS CLOSED.
Exchange Bank OF MOberfy, Mo-, in
Charge OF an Assignee.

MoBERLY, Mo-, June 13.-The fol-
lowing notice vas placed upon the
door of the Exchange Bank of this
city at 10 O'Clock this morning.
This bank is closed and now in
possession of the undersigned, trus-
tee under deed of assignment, for
benefit of creditors.
w. A. WIGHT, Assignee.
The people are just beginning to
realize the fact, and the usual excite
ment attending a bank failure is
noticeable. The %depositors, great
and small, however, so far have ex-
pressed confidence that the bank
will be able to pay Of every dollar
of it's indebtedness. The Exchange
Bank was the depository of the city
of Moberly and the Moberly Build
ing and Loan Association. Adam
Given is president of the bank and
E. O. Hannah cashier. The other
banks of the city are fully prepared
for every emergency and do not ex'
pect a run except by very small de-
positors. The deposits this morn.
ing far exceed the Withdrawals.

Battle OF Shiloh.

a writer in the st. Louis Repubt'c
of Sunday refers to the battle of
Shiloh as follows {: CAT Shiloh
Colonel Allen of the Fourth louisa
ma led his men four times against
the famous "Union Hornets Nest
only to meet with repulse. Receiv-
ing an order for another charge, he
asked his commander, General
Bragg, if the men must repeat the
assault.
"Colonel Allen, we want no fall
tering here" said Bragg, haughtily,
then turned away.
Though bleeding from a painful
wound, the Colonel would not aban-
don his soldiers to their fate, but
rode to the colors, sounded the
charge and dashed once more into
the trightful carnage.
In reference to the above. Circuit
Clerk .C.Johnson says that he was
present and remembers the fight well.
Something like thirty men were
killed in a few minutes and it was
one of the warmest engagements he
ever took part in. He thinks that
Allen WAS one of the bravest leaders
of the war.

Women ShOeblacks In France.



a custom is rapidly gaining
ground in France and especially in
Toulon and certain other towns
which, it may safely be prophesied,
will not find much imitation in this
country. This is the employment
of women as street shoeblacks.
The French women shoeblacks
are most coquettishly gotten up and
as to their caps and frills have some
what the appearance of hospital
nurses and it is surprising that
though their occupation is a tolera-
bly, dirty one, they always seem clean
and tidy ; some of them are doing
the polishing in gauntlet gloves.

ger Bransford, who had substituted
bogus packages for the original.
When the train was held upon the
occasion of the first and abortive at
tempt, on May Is, Messenger Brans-
ford made up his mind that the
robbers would try it again very
soon, and determined to thwart them
by strategy.
Accordingly, the next night, he
took all the money from his safe
and tied it up in a sock, which he
deposited under half a car load OF
freight. In place Of the original
packages, he substituted others,
marked with profuse liberality
1910, 600" and $50, OOO," and filled
with brown paper. This plan was
followed until the second holdup.
The messenger worked his scheme
for the company's benefit very well.
Instead of opening the door at once,
when called upon, he made them
break it open, and in a similar way
he exhibited as great reluctance to
open the safe as lift had really con.
tanned thousands of dollars.
When the robbers opened the
big box and saw the bulky packages,
labeled with big, round figures,
their eagerness overmastered their
prudence and they decamped with
the swag without taking the pre-.
caution to examine it before they
left the car.
