boarded the tender of the engine and
concealed themselves until a heavy grade
and deep cut were reached, when they
sprang from their hiding place, covered
the engineer and fireman with Winches-
ters. and commanded them to stop the
train. Climbing over the tender into the
cab. the bandits marched the engineer
and fireman TO the baggage ear and conf
manded them TO open the door. Messenger
Chapman refused 20 comply, when the
bandits, now six In number, threatened

ncer Stevenson called to the messenger
and iinplored him to open the door, which
was done. The bandits entered the car,

Plain Talk.


lFrom the Cleveland Plaindenlerl
"There are hundreds and thousands
of people in the large cities and towns
who cannot afford to pay the prices de-
manded for the best dairy and cream
cry buffers. 0leomargarine is in every
respect better and more healthful than
country store butter. Give the middle
class, and every class, for that matter,
n chance TO place ON their tables an
artificial butter that looks like butter,
that tastes better than most dairy but
ter tastes, and is absolutely nutritious
and healthful. Let there be fairness in
this matter, and n repeal of all prohib-
itive laws that work injury and in
justice to large number of people"
Silver Churn Butterine is the latest
and most improved butter substitute.
1t is prepared by superior methods
under careful scientific supervision. 1t
is advertised and sold largely through
out the United States, and fastidious
housekeepers proclaim II the best table

Announcement of the engagement of Prof
w. H. Holmes as one of the departmental
heads at the great Chicago museum calls
attention to the fact that Washington is
contributing very heavily to the forces
which win undoubtedly make the latest of
the lakeside city's educational enterprises an
unqualified success. First 1t was Watkins,
now 1t is Holmes, and there is a probability
that still another will be drawn away from
the National Museum to assist them in civil
hzing the jewellers in Cook county. All of
which emphasizes the frequently reiterated
statement that the government does not
oner Its scientists sufficient financial induce
ments for remaining in its service. Chicago
need not be at all delicate about coming

which to build up its new venture; Wash

among those South Carolinians who pride
themselves on being anti-Tillmanites. But
the demonstrations Of gladness are tenn

walls as to the condition in which the action
OF the court leaves the liquor laws of the
