A Successful Hold Up.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 18.-Train No.
8 on the Kansas City, st. Joseph and
Council Bluffs Railroad was held up
and robbed at 1920 o'clock this morn
iGg by five masked men at Roy's Land
ing, one mile north of this city, the
sceoe of the attempted robbery of Sep
tember 25 last. The train WAS stoppsd
by a torpedo and a red lantern signal
and when the engineer had slowed up,
he and the fremen were covered by re-
volvers and f)rced to go back to the
express car and demand admittance.
The express messenger, @. E. Baxter,
was covered by revolyers in the hands
of the robbers and they proceeded to
plunder the car.
The safe was opened and the contents
were transferred to q sack which was
carried bylone of the gang. The rob-
bers then assem- bled. all the train crew
in bunch, marched them about half
way down the train and ordering them
to stand still, made their escape in a
westerly direction through the dense
willows which line the track at that
point. Che robbers could not be de-
scribed. but are supposed to be the gang
that held up and robbed the Chicago
fast train, the "Eli," on the Hannibal,
Just week ago tonight.
Two of the men. a tall and short one,
answer the description given of the two
eli" robbers. Sheriff Carson and a
large posse of deputies are hot on the
trail Of the robbers, and every available
man has been pressed into Service. AS
soon as the robbers left the train it was
backed down into the city and the Off
clals notified. Nothing can be ascer-
tanned in regard 70 now much money
the robbers secured, but coming on the
heels of the last robbery it las created
intense excitement oil over the city.

cured, was the place where two train
robbers were killed and four captured
on September 25 by a dummy train sent
out by the officials Of the road in place

Small Pox Na1S Yark.

New YORK, Jan. 1S.-Small pox has
broken out in the charity hospital and
the big institution, with its 800 and
odd patients, has been quarantlned-
shut off from the world. No person
will be allowed to leave it without the
consent of the health department, and
no visitor must enter it. all the mis-
chief was caused by the admission of a
patient named Smith who died in the
hospital last week, and whose Illness
was not recognized by the doctors un.
til the post mortem revealed 1t was
suall pox. Then every precaution was
taken, but too late. Among the vic
TINS is the warden, Robert Roberts,

pital we're fumiyated by some Of the

Maint.nins her CT aim.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. l8.-In o c)m
munication received here by the steamer
Australia there was The assertion that
the deposed queen has given up the coz
test and will sus the United States for
damages for the part taken by the fer
mer representatives of This country at
the time the provisional government
was substituted. Samuel Parker, prime
minister of the ex-queen snd minister
of foreign affairs, A. Peterson, attorney
general, and two uem bers OF the caolret
at the time Of the change IN the govern
ment, came by the same steamer. They
briefly denied the statement, deem!ns
that 1t was important. They noticed
10 the telegraphic dispatches from Wash
lnton that considerable weight IS give1
at the capital to this report.
In consequence. Mr.. Parker sent
strong teleg am to Secretary of Safe
Gresham, signed as prime minister of
foreign affairs, positively denvirg those
assertions, and declaring tat the queen
had submitted her case to tie ar olt-a-
ton OF the Uoited States, and Will pa
tlently await that verdict.
MIR. Parker and MIR. Peterson said
that they saw the queen nalf an hour
before they left on the steamer Australia.
and she was firm ia her determination
to CLAIM throne. At no time did she or
any Of her advisers mention the posslblll-
ty Of presenting claim to the United
States for pecunisry assistance.
HOW WOULD SHE SUE?
WASHINGTON, Jan. l8.-The officials
of the sstate department scof at TIE
story that ex Queen Liliukalana is con-
templating suit for damages against
the United States government for haV-
ing ousted her from her th:one and hav.
ing taken her government from her. It IS
inquired very pertlnently, ''w here will
she bring suit?" There is no court in
which see has the privilege Of bringing
suit. The only means of enforcing a
decision would be to wage war. Sac
might, indeed, file a claim with con-
gress, but she would b. entirely de.
pendent upon legislation for andreturns.

A Picnic for ths Lswy srs.

GREENvILLE, Jan. ia. curious
will came to light today by the death
of Elizabeth Waters, near Reidyille,
Spartanburg County. James and An
thony Wakefield, two old bachelor
brothers, started a town which they
wanted named Wakefield, but it was
called ReidYille. They determined to
kill the town, and at their death left all
their large estate to their nelce, Mrs.
Waters, for her life and at her death
the property goes to the clerk OF Court
of Spartanburg County and his sue
cessors, to be held in trust for one hun
dred years. At the expiration of that
period it is to be divided among the
nearest relatives. Today Mrs. Waters
died and under the will the clerk OF
Court will take possession. 1t is stlp
ulated that cnly SO much Of the land
shall be worked during the huadred
years as will produce a sufficient
amount to pay the taxes. The land
completely surrounds Riedville. cut
Ting it off from the entire world, and
is valued at one hundred thousand dol
lars, which may not pc half the actual
value. 1t is supposed that the lawyers

Deep Water for charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. l8.-In o.
tober last Captain Frederick Y. ABBOTT
the United States engineer in charge of
the government Improvements in
Charleston harbor, announced in his
annual report that the ifteen-foot
channel of 1884 had become q twenty
foot channel in 1892. A new survey of
the harbor and the jetty channel was
completed by Captain ABBOTT in De-
cember and has just been chartered. It
shows that IN two months the channel
gained depth of one foot of water.
This means that yessel drawing 81
feet of water can pass through the jet
ty channel at high Water-the least
depth anywhere in the channel being
Is g feet on smaller shoal at the har-
Dor end of the passage. Off of thte
shoal the depths in the channel are IS
feet next the shoal and 1879 feet at the
entrance from ne sea, with depth of
27.2 feet half way between these two
points. So that with the small inner
shoal removed vessel drawing 90 feet
could now come into the harbor ct high
water with some inches of water clear
under her bottom at the shalioWest
points and several feet clearing the
rest of the channel.
Considered from every point of view,
therefore, as Captain Abbott says, the
latest chart us the most favorable
showing yet obtained" andit appears
to give certain promises tina; the 90
foot channel from deep water outside
to deep water inside will be obtained
al q very early day, even earlier than
was expected last October. II is not
safe TO make predictions in regard to
events occurring under wafer, but there
has been gain OF one foot IN depth
since the survey in October, and there
is much less work for the tide to do
now than there was then. It is exlect-
Ell that the small shoal which is now il
the way With disappear in its turn in
the next sixty or ninety days, aud that
the next Official survey will show tweu.
ty-three feet of water throughout the
jetty channel a. mean high tide.

a Hog Cholera Remedy.

Dr.. T. J. Dodge, Of Hamilton, III,
writes as follows to the Iowa Home
stead OF the subject IT hog cholera:
AS the price of hogs is sufficiently high
to pay the farmer TO use every means Of
protecting them from the ravases of the
cholera | deem it my duty to give to the
public, free, my recipe for the cure Of
what is termed hog cholera. l have
used this remedy for thicty-tive years,
and raised hogs on my ranch in Ne
braska, and never lost a hog. Have
experimental by placing one well hog
with a lot CT sick ones and keeping it
well by the use of this remedy. You
Will confer a great favor upon the far
mers of our country by publishing this
recipe in full 10 your valuable paper.
l am now engaged in other business,
ana has been for sixteen years, and am
willing to let others prosper by the long
years of experience OF mine with a Re.
medy discovered myself for the cure OF
this disease. The prescription and di-
rections are as follows: Arsenic, one
half pound; cape alloes, one-half Eound; !;
blue vitriol, 0ne-fourth pound; black
antimony, one ounce. Grind and mix
well the remedy before using. The fol-
lowing are the directions for use:
l. Sick hogs in al cases TO be separat-
ed from the we'll ones aud placed IN dry
pens With only five OF eight in each
pen.
2. Feed nothing bit dry feed but no
water, only the slop containing the re-
meiy until cured.
3. When hogs refuse 10 eat turn
them CO thajr backs. and with a long
handled spoon DT5 the dry medicine
down their throats.
4. Dose for large hogs, one teaspoon
full three times a day for three days;
then miss one day aud repeat the
amount until cured. Shoats CT pigs
half the amount.
5 AS a preventive one teaspoonful
once week Will keep Your hogs in
he4lthy conGiton 10 take CO fat. eau
place one we'll bog in a pen with one
HUNDRED sick ones, and with this 1em-
edy keep him well.
Let no other stock but hogs have
access to this remedy, as it IS to them
deadly poison.
Dr.. Dodge adds that for many years
ne sold this recel p5 for S5 aud treated
thousands Of hog, a. the rare of 81 per

pound for al that died after treatment
began.
