An Elghteen-Year-Old Boy Robs . Bank.
 Securing all the Money In Sight-He Then
 Makes . Desperate Effort to Escape, hut
 is Knocked Down with Brick, and, Gov
 cred by . Revolver, Surrenders-The
 Money Recoved.
 MOUNT STERLING, Ill.,, Sept. 25.- Ralph Conklin, boy of IS, yesterday, single-handed, robbed the Bloomfield Skies bank here and compelled the cashier to hand over S411.
 Conklin lives on a farm near here. On his way to town yesterday he met Mack Dunbar, and at the point of pistol appropriated Dunbar's horse and came into Mount Sterling with 8 mask over his face. Tying his horse in the rear of the bank, he entered and, approaching Cashier Milstead, commanded him to throw up his hands. Without needing his command Mill stead took to his heels and escaped by . rear door.
 Conklin quickly pocketed all tho money in sight, and passing out the door mounted his horse. He was about to ride away when Constable Snod- grass arrived and pulled him to the ground. Conklin broke away, how ever, and ran down the street. A citi- zen, by name John Nighswander, tried to catch Conklin, when he drew his re- volver and fired, the ball passing through Nighswander's coat.
 Conklin kept on his wild flight and reaching the court he attempted to steal horse and cart, but was knocked down with brick. At this moment a citizen drew revolver and compelled the young bandit to surrender. The money was recovered, and the young outlaw was placed in jail.

The Stories of a Tax Levy War In Ken
 lucky Without Foundation in Fact.
 HENDERSON, Ky, Sept. 25.-The sen- sational stories sent out from here, Sturgis and elsewhere in this section of the state concerning probable war fare in Sturgis tax district are, in the main, without particle of truth. Sheriff Blackwell has met with much opposition in his attempt to execute the orders of the court in the tax cases, which were brought on bonds issued to build road, never built, but it has not been of as serious a character as reported.
 The plain truth is the plaintiffs whose executions are in the hands of the sherin, are giving publicity to the stories of armed deputies and march ing posses in hope of effecsing set clement of their claims. If compro- mise is not effected the sheriff will proceed to levy under the executions, and will meet with considerable oppo- sition, but unless hotheads do some thing no serious trouble will result.

SUCCESSFUL EXPLORATIONS.
Return of Members of the University of
 Pennsylvania Expedition to Labrador.

IennsylVAnl8 EXpeulttOn tO LaDTaOOTs
 ST JoHN's, N. F., Sept. 25.-Prof Hite and Messrs Bucknell, Perkins and Coales, comprising the University of Pennsylvania expedition to northern Labrador, arrived here Sunday night, after two months successful explora- tion.
 The expedition started on the ill., fated Miranda, their original intention being to proceed to Hamilton inlet; thence explore Grand Falls and the in- terior; but the iceberg accident to the Miranda and the illness of Mir. Buck nell, who was second in command of the expedition, compelled the modifica tion of their plans, so they determined to explore Sandwich bay.
 They landed at Cape Charles from the Miranda, proceeded north on a mail steamer and explored White Bear and Eagle Paradise rivers, and made partial surveys. Messrs. Perkins and Coales penetrated 130 miles into the interior Altogether they discovered Rapid falls, sixty feet high, and made very extensive natural history col lection; also some important gcograph ical discoveries. They would have succeeded far better, but Mr. Buck nell's illness, the result of sunstroke before he left New. York, became so serious that his companions were com pelled to carry him to Cartwright a Hudson Bay Co., s post.
 Prof. Hite proposes returning there next year, and will charter a steamer to convey a party of professors and students.

TWO THOUSAND PRISONERS
Overcome the Russian Guards and Escape
 from Siberia.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-By the steamer Rio Janeiro, which arrived from the Orient yesterday, news was received of the escape of 2,OOO prison CTS from Siberia. The men were em- ployed in the construction of the Siberian railway and had, as late de- velopments proved, been planning the escape for several months.
 Meager advices received at Yolxo- hama concerning the break for liberty are that the men overpowered the Rus sian soldiers, who were guarding them, and securing all the arms they could, fled. When last heard of they were making their way towards Corea, and it is believed that they are now safely within the borders of that country to secure passage to more dista Ut ports.
 The Russian government forwarded the request to Corean officials to assist in the capture of the refugees and to hand them over as fast as apprehended to the Russian authorities.

 Dr. R. F. Watson, a Wealthy Landowner
 NEWPORT, Ark, Sept. 25.-At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the out skirts of this city, Dr. R. P. Watson was shot and killed by his son-in-law, R. T. Simmons. Since the killing is has been learned that bad feeling ex- isted between the two men for some time, and yesterday morning they met and the old feud was renewed, during which Watson struck Simmons.
 KILLED HIS MAN.
 Simmons, being a much smaller man and having but one arm, left Watson. who was very stout man, and who was armed, and securing Winchester rifle waited his opportunity, and as Watson was crossing the Lake bridge in an open vehicle. Simmons, standing on platform 200 yards away and di- rectly behind Watson, fired three shots, all of which took effect in the doctors back and resulted in death in few minutes. After the third shot the doc tor fell forward in the spring wagon, which was driven by boy, but short ly recovered himself and, although the windpipe was completely severed, he went on across the bridge, and enter ing friends house, 200 yards distant, fell on the floor and died.
 WATSON WAS WEALTHY.
 Dr. Watson was 46 years old and leaves an interesting family, consisting of widow, three daughters and two sons. Besides being a wealthy man, owning over 5000 acres of farming land, he was the oldest practicing phy- sician in Jackson county and a member of the masonic lodge. Simmons is just entering upon his second term as city marshal, has always borne good rep utation, and claims that Dr. Watson had previously threatened his life, and in an altercation yesterday morning re- newed the threat. He gave himself up to the sheriff.

kansas as Revealed by a Recent Census Office Investigation.
 The report of the census office on the farms, homes and mortgages of Ar kansas has been made.
 FARMS
 In regard to farms, the conclusion is that .06 per cent. of the farm families hire, and 53.94 per cent own the farms cultivated by them; that 4. per cent. af the farm-owning families own sub ject to incumbrance, and 95.s2 per sent. own free of incumbrance. Among 100 farm families, forty-six hire their farms, two own with incum- brance, and fifty-two without incum- brance. On the owned farms there are liens amounting to 8, 032, ,345, which is II. 3s per cent. of their value, and this debt bears interest at the average rate of 9. 35 per cent, making the average annual interest charge S57 to each family. Each owned and incumbered farm, on the average, is worth S1, ,3S2, and is subject to debt Of S613.
 HOMES.
 The corresponding facts for homes are that 67.15 per cent. of the home families hire, and 35s5 per cent. own their homes; that of the home-owning families, 94. 15 per cent. own free of in- cumbrance and 5.S5 per cent. with in- cumbrance. In 100 home families, on the average, sixty-seven hire their homes, two own with incumbrance, and thirty. one without incumbrance. The debt on owned homes aggregates Sl, ,Os1,. 425, or 42.27 per cent of their value, and bears interest at the rate of 9.60 per cent, so that the annual amount of interest to each home averages SS1. An average debt of SS45 incumbers each home, which has the average value of Sl,959.
 IN THE CITIES.
 There are four cities in the state in the class of those having a population of 1000 to 100, ,00O, and in these cities 6S 50 per cent. of the home families hire and 31.4O per cent. own their homes, and of the home-owning fam flies 1424 per cent. own with incum- brance and s5. T6 per cent. own free of incumbrance. In one hundred home families, on the average, are found sixty-nine that hire their homes, four that own with incumbrance and twen- ty-seven that own without incum- brance. The liens on the owned homes are 3s 30 per cent. of the value of those subject to lien. Several averages show that the rate of interest is 9.63 per cent; value of each owned and incum- bered home, $2,s97; lien on the same. sl,1l2, and yearly interest charge on each home, S107.
 CAUSES OF THE LIENS.
 Real estate purchase and improve ments, when not associated with other objects, caused 42.67 per cent. of the farm families to incur 41. 97 per cent. of the farm debt, and 7s. s2 per cent. of the home families to incur 75. S1 per cent. of the home debt.
