SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. 19.-B. H.

pretences at Smithland and came
here to Sioux City to avoid arrest.
He worked in livery stable and
finally stole team and started to
the country for his wife. The
Smithland officers got wind Of him
and arrested him. He induced
Rodney Rice to sign his bond by
representing that he owned fifty
acres Of land and gave Rice n ote
for it to indemnify him. Rice found
the next day that Wilson had lied.
Rice then came to Sioux City and
told Justice Gibson that he was a

KISSED AND MADE UP.
VIM. K. Vanderbilt and Wife Com
ing Home.

NEWPORT, r.. L., Sept. l9.--Des-
pite the cabled stories Of differ
ences involving permanent separ-
alton there are reasons to believe
that VIM. X. Vanderbilt and his
wife will reach here in a few days.
The blinds have been taken down
from their marble palace, here,
the building is being aired, the
servants have arrived and the
magnificent building is being full
ly prepared for occupancy. Last
night Cornelius and Frederick
Vanderbilt left here for New York
on the yacht Conquerer and it is
said that they go there to meet
Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt.
There has been some question
whether both will return here. 1t is
conceded that w. X. Vanderbilt
could not come here alone and &C.
cupy the marble palace, which is
the property Of his wife. In con-
versation with a society man re-
porter was told that Mrs. and Mr..
Vanderbilt had patched up all diff
ferences and were coming here to
spend seven weeks and that they
would entertain in such a manner
that society would wonder at the re-
ports of their troubles. That there
had been no trouble there was
doubt, he said. The report of their
coming here caused no little eX-
element.

THEY WERE GAME,
AND FOUGHT THE OFFICERS UNTIL
OVERPOWERED.
Four Men Now Under Arrest and
Several Others Will Be
Caught.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. ia
special to the Times from Memphis,
Mo, says: Charles Abrams and
Link Overfield, the two farmer
bandits arrested for their part in
the attempted Santa Fe train rob-
berry, were only captured after a
stubborn fight. They both made
their way directly to their homes,
situated sixteen miles southeast
from here, in a lonely part of the
country. Abrams is the man who
received the full load of buckshot
in the face and was compelled to
walk the entire distance, it being
his horse that was killed by the
detectives. Arriving at home
Abrams was concealed behind a
dresser. He had practically ran
the whole distance and when the
sheriff and railroad detectives came
to his home soon after his arrival
he was faint. However, when he
knew that escape was out of the
question he made bold attempt to
stand off his captors with a re-
volver, but the officers had
the drop on him and he finally
gave in. After he had been hand
cuffed, the search for the other
bandits was resumed. On the farm
of Mrs. Tull, near by, the officers
found Overfield, who had crawled
under the bed. The house was
first surrounded and a delegation
sent in to make search. Mrs. Tull
and her two daughters stoutly de-
MED that Overfield was in the
house. Overfield showed fight
when he was discovered, but be-
fore he could use a revolver he was
grabbed by one of the officers. A
fierce struggle ensued, the bandit
finally being overpowered. Both
he and Abrams,with the two BROTH
ers of the former, around whom
suspicion also rests, were hand
cuffed and taken to Memphis. The
search for the remainder Of the
gang is being kept up. The exam
ination Of the four men now under
arrest will take place Wednesday.

NEW PROPELLER
Invented for Lake Boats Trial
Trip.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 19,-The tug
Arthur Jones will make trial
trip this afternoon with propel-
Ter wheel which is radical de-
parture from anything used on a
lake boat. The new style is the
invention of a Chicago man, who
hopes it will improve the speed
over anything now in use. The
wheel consists of large hub and
four blades fastened to it. The hub
Is over three feet in diameter and
the blade makes the wheel & feet
4 inches in diameter. The blades
are much longer than they are
wide and are so set on the hub as
to give the weel II feet lead, much
greater than any ordinary propel-
Ter wheel. The tug of the run is
built to correspond with the size
of the hub to prevent drag there
and the after end of the hub Is
tapering to prevent suction.

THE DREAMER.

l am tired Of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives OF men;
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And long for the dear old river,
Where l dreamed my youth away;
For dreamer lives forever,
But toiler dies in day.
| am sick of the snowy seeming
OF life that is half lie
OF the faces lined with scheming,
In the throng that hurries by.
From the seepless thoughts endeavor,
would go where the children play;
For dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies in day.
feel no pride. but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives Of the poor;
Oh, the little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
Oh, no from the streets rude hustle,
From the trophies of mart and stage,
| would fly to the woods low rustic,
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river
And be loved for the dream alway;
For dreamer lives forever,
And q toiler dies in day.

1t can be stated on authority that there
is absolutely no foundation for the intima-
ton that Senator Faulkner, of West Vir-
ginia, will follow the lead of Senator Hill
and antagonize the tariff bill in case coal
and iron are placed on the free list It is
true that Senator Faulkner urged that &
slight duty be placed upon these articles,
but in doing this he simply carried out the
pledges which had been made to the people
of West Virginia upon the stump that in
the reform of the tariff their principal pro-
ducts, coal and iron, would be regulated on
an equality with all other staple commodi-
ties. That the tariff would be lowered was
not denied but it was not supposed that it
would be altogether abolished. As it is, a
duty of IS cents per ton is only 129 per
cent ad valorem.
But" said Senator Faulkner yesterday,
''if the majority of the Senate should vote
to take off even this small duty, which is
purely a revenue tariff in the moaning of
the Democratic platform, l shall acquiesce
in that judgment of the majority. l shall
vote for any tariff bill which seems most
satisfactory to the views of my party, with
out regard to any individual preferences
which may have. am a Democrat al
ways, and shall not desert my party in this
great fight for tariff reform. - Washington

A Diplomatic Darkey.

Most OF Vance's stories have gone the
rounds of the papers again and again, some
times tagged with his name and sometime:
not. But | know several which have not
appeared in print, and may tell them an-
other day, says Moses p. Handy in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. Just now happened to
think of one that he told at his own ex-
pense. In one of his campaigns for the
governorship he was riding along country
road when he met a venerable darkey array
ed in Sunday clothes. 1t was yance's hab-
it to talk TO everybody he met in these elec-
tioneering tours.
"Well, uncle" lie said, you're spruced
up pmightily this morning. Coin to church,
eyes, sab. Gwine to church"
"II bet know what church you belong
to-Baptist"
"No, sab, can't say rs Baptist"
Methodist, then?"
"No, sab; l amt no Methods" nudder.
"Well, surely, you're not an Episcopa-
LAM"
"No, sab; Fse Presp, team: dat what |
is"
"And you believe in all the doctrines Of
the Presbyterian church,"
"Yes, sah."
"WelI, now. there's the doctrine of cleo
ton. Do you believe that if a man is elect
ed to be saved, he will be saved, and that
if he is elected to be damned he will be
damned ?"
ooh, yes, boss; dats my faith"
at is, Ell? Well take my case. Am |
elected to be saved or elected to be damned?'
The old man scratched his hoad, his re-
ligious convictions struggling with his de-
sire to be polite, but, pressed for an answer,
replied "Well, tell you what, Marse Zeb,
have been libbin in dis world for nigh
on fifty-fye year, and | never yet hearn tell
Of any man bein' elected onless he war a
candidate"
Equally as politician and as a Presby-
byterian Governor Vance appreciated this
diplomatic statement.
