BAKER CITY, Nov. 27.-One of the

this section occurred in this city this
morning at O'Clock. A party of six
men, heavily masked, and armed with
rifles, shotguns and revolvers, entered

and bystanders were placed under cover
of arms, while two of the robberies re-

Probably Scared to Death.

HARTFORD, Nov. 27.-Lizzie Carey and
Carrie Daye, orphans IL and II years
old respectively, who said they were
from Poughkeepsie, arrived here yester-'
day and walked to New Ingleton, where
they were going to work as mllkmaids
on farm owned by one Terry. They
played ''hide and seek'' all the way to
New Ingleton, and were seen to enter
piece of woods near New Briton which
in parts Is very dense. Several farmers
knowing it to be dangerous place, fol-
lowed them, in order to save them from
getting lost. The little girls saw their
pursuers at distance and were afraid of
them, and ran screaming into the thicker
parts of the woods, They were too quick
for the farmers and disappeared entirely.
Last night the male residents in the
vicinity banded themselves together and
instituted a search. Twelve men, each
carrying lantern, divided themselves
into groups of three, and entering the
woods at the four points of the compass,
yelled and whistled as they made their

STEPS ON RAILWAY CARS.
An Authority Thinks They Are Useless
and Should BE Abolished.

An Authority Thinks They Are Useless
and Should BE Abolished.
When the first primitive railway was
built in this country, says the Railway
! Age, somebody thought it would be
cheaper and handler to attach steps so
that passengers could get on or off
whenever the train might accommodate
ingly stop, without the trouble of
drawing up to a platform, and the fash
ion once started has been followed un-
til now there are in the United States
not far from thirty-five thousand cars,
passenger, baggage, mail and express,
which are dragging around four
times as many-one hundred and forty
thousand-sets of steps that are costly
to build and maintain, are a constant
source of danger, discomfort and delay.
and serve no purpose that could not
much better be accomplished by hav-
ing station platforms at q level with
the platforms of the cars The elevated
railways in New York first demon
strated the needlessness of steps for
cars on the American plan of having
end doors, as had from the first been
demonstrated on all European RAILWAYS
where the doors open at the side. The
Illinois Central Railway company had
the enterprise to extend the principle
OF no steps to surface roads by build
ing special cars and high station
platforms for its worlds fair train
service, with the result of han
ding great numbers of passengers
with extraordinary celerity and safety,
and the same progressive management
is now preparing to abolish the use of
car steps in its extensive suburban train
service by elevating its station plat
forms. 1t has had the principle in
highly successful operation for nearly
a year on its express suburban service, in
which are used ordinary day coaches,
the steps having been removed and the
platforms widened out, and if it were
building new cars for that service it
would build them without steps. For
remote stations on it's local service
where it is not yet ready to provide
new station platforms it adopts the
simple device of having trap doors over
the steps, which can be thrown back
where the steps arc to be used-an ex-
pedient that would facilitate the grad
ual adoption of the high station plat
form principle on all roads, allowing
them to apply it at first only at the
principal stations.

a station Agent Robbed.

SACRAMENTO, Call, Nov. 27.-News
has Just been received of daring rob-
berry committed at Wheatland, at au
early hour this morning, and the rail-
road is again the sufferer. AS usual,
Manager Coons went to bed about 10
o'clock, leaving the Office in charge of
his assistant, G. II. Barnes, who, after
seeing that all the back doors and win
dows were securely locked, settled him
self to work at desk in the front Office.
To the right of his desk is the front door,
which is kept open all night. The
south bound Oregon express is due at
Wheatland at 4 :15 a. m. It was about
twenty minutes of train time when
Barnes, hearing some one enter, glanced
up to find himself confronted with two
men armed with revolvers. The men
were closely muff1ed around the neck
and chin, and wore masks drawn over
theiE faces. Before the startled agent
could speak, he was ordered by one of
the men to open the money drawer.
This he did, and while one of the rob-
bers emptied its contents, $10.35, into
his pocket, the other kept him covered
with revolver. He was then told to
open the safe, and be quick about it.
He replied that he did not know the
combination, as he was merely the as
sistant, and it had not been made
known to him. The robbers at first re-
fused to believe this, but as Barnes in
sisted in the face of numerous threats,
and the train was nearly due, the rob-
bers beat retreat. No sooner had they
disappeared than he armed himself,
awoke the agent and gave the alarm.
When the train arrived the two agents
boarded it and rode about a mile down
the road. The train was then stopped
and Immediately surrounded, in the
hope of catching the robbers, who, it
was thought, might have been trying to
escape on the break beams. The plan
did not work; and kilograms have been
sent to all surrounding towns to look
out for the two men, A number of
Wells-Fargo and railroad detectives
have left for the scene of the crime.

get a glimpse of one of the sacred

long streets in the city of Coomasie, the

by them being locally known by a

Many explanations have been given o,
the origin of the expression raining
cats and dogs. One Is that it Is a per.
version OF the French "catadoupe''-s
waterfall--"it il is raining Il catadoupes, 4"
or cataractS. Another explanation il.
that the male blossoms of the willow
tree, which are used on Palm Sunday TO
represent the branches Of palm, were
called eats and dogs in some parts
of England, where they increase rapidly
after a few warm April showers. and
the belief prevailed that the rain brough,
them.
Others trace the saying 10 northern
mythology, in which the cat is said tc
have great influence on the weather,
and sailors still have a saying. The cat
has gale OF wind in her tail. " when

The catalf:a never shows the "sere
and yellow leaf III auunm like the
sumac, hard maple. etc, for the rea-
son that its leaves are caught in a
green. unripened state by the first severe
frOsts. In one night their bright green
is turned to dingy black. This sud
den check gorges the calnb1um layer

An excess OF water swclls the pr0to-
plasm of the cells to such an extent us
to rupture the inelastic bark. and in
trees where the cell structure OF the
wood is not ripe the crack Will extend
into the wood often with a noise like
an explosion. This often occurs in the
fall when it Is not cold enough to stop
blowing. Sometimes we have much
loss in nursery in this way with varie-
ties not fully ripe when the first fTCsts
come. Sometimes indeed it Injuries
very hardy varieties. In such cases the
swelling of the protOplasm comes from
the water absorbed at the ground sur
face when combined wet and cold come
together in autumn. The cracking of
cherries and pears comes from the same
catlse-that is, by absorbing water on
wet days, causing an expansion of the

ment is to cover the rupture with moist
clay and then wrap to exclude the air
