It In Not Cowardice for People to
Throw Up Their Hands.
ST used to think that it was mar
velous exhibition of cowardice for
train load Of passengers to quietly
submit to being held up by one or
two train robbers, and used almost
to hope for the chance Of showing
what I could do if the command
hands up should be given on a coach
IN which I was travelling" said
Louisville drummer 1.-The chance
came and my ideas underwent a rapid
change 1t was a Little Rock and
Fort Smith train Tt was near Ozark,
I think, when a man appeared at the
door and sang out: Hold
up your hands, every body Be
fore had time to do what
thought I would do. two shots were
fred almost simultane ously. The first
came from the pistol of the conductor
John Kane of Little Rock, a brave
man, who drew and fred the moment
he realized what the trouble was.
The second shot was fred by the
train robber and Kane fell dead. The
brakeman then fred and a second
later he fell with bullet through his
loins, which crippled him for life
Since that experience think a man
is fool instead of a coward who does
not promptly throw up his hands IN
der such circumstances Provided all
the passengers were armed, one or
two robbers could not fight the whole
lot, but as a rule only a few are
armed, and the first man to take hos
tile action would probably bite the
dust One of the robbers was
wounded by either Kane or the brake
man and his con7v,arionR vera can
tured by the trail Of blood I was

Farmers All over the state Saving Their
Corn and Feeding Wheat
KANSAS CITY. Aug. 13.-S R. Hill, live
stock agent Of the Union Pacific, has re-
turned from trip to Colorado and West
ern Kansas.
4Around Clay Center, Concordia. Solo
mon and Beloit, KAN says Mr.. Hill. '-the
corn crop Is a failure. I saw a curious
thing in those towns. Some farmers
would bring in wheat and sell it to other
farmers, who would haul it home to feed
to hogs. Along the Republican and
Solomon rivers late corn may make
something of a crop. Along the Blue,
from Manhattan west. the corn looked
better than at other places I visited"
Other people say that grain dealers in
the towns of eastern Kansas are receiv-
ing many orders for wheat for feeding
purposes. One firm shipped eight cars
to western Kansas during the week to
be used in feeding stock Many requests
are being received from points in Iowa
for wheat, to be used there in fattening
hogs Farmers who have wheat on hand
are feeding II to stock and saving their
corn

OF George l. MCCARTHY, the last relay,
from Sand creek to Denver. He rode
81 miles, crossing numerous railroad
tracks in the dark in fourteen minutes
Thirty Thousand people watched the
finish, and on Sixteenth street only
narrow lane was left for Mccarthy to
pass through to the court house, where
Gov. Waite and Gen. McCook were wait
ing. When within ten feet of his goal,
Mccarthy ran plump into two women
who got in his path and was thrown
from his wheel, but he tossed the mall
pouch to Lieut. Hilton of the cycle corps,
by whom it was handed to A. ID. Black,
manager of the race.
Gov. Waite and Gen McCook congrat-
ulated Manager Black, Mr.. Mccarthy
derfuI feat and Gov. Waite sent the fol-
lowing message TO President Cleveland:
son this 18th day of August, instant,
at 1927 e p. m, received from George
ID. Mccarthy, the last relay wheelman,
the message written to me by your pri-
vate secretary, and delivered to the first
relay wheelman at Washington last
Monday, IL noon
THE entire 2,O37 miles has been made
without interruption or serious accident,
and the feat will long be a mementO Of
the endurance and skill of the American
Wheelmen.
Vast numbers are now assembled in
this city, rejoicing over the finale of this
great achievement In their name 1
send congratulations
(Signed) DAVIS III. WAITE,
Governor of Colorado"
The time of the relay race would have
been reduced at least five hours more
had not the Omaha riders who carried
the messages from Ogalalla to Julesburg
been delayed by a wind and sand storm.
The Denver wheelmen made the run
from Greeley to Denver 50 miles in three
hours and twenty one minutes.
Wheelmen have been arriving on
every train today. the first Of the l. A.
WIS annual meet. and it is estimated that
by next Thursday, when the races viii
begin, there Will be in the city at least
four thousand wheelmen from other
parts of the country. Nevertheless in
coming wheelmen report that the attend
ance would have been much larger had
railroad rates been lower. An informal
reception was given the wheelmen today
and souvenirs distributed.
This afternoon the visitors were es-
corted to points of interest about the
city. All the fast men in the country
except Tyler and Johnson viii take part
in the races. Among the wheelmen who
have arrived are L. L Livingstone and
r J. Caughey, who wheeled from
McKeesport, Pa, a distance of 1,7O4

Isle has not yet reached decision De to
the number OF sealskins the North Amer
ican Commercial company shall be per-
mitted to take during the coming season,
and at the request OF counsel for the
company has decided TO give g hearing
at an early date. Last year the secretary
accorded hearing and limited the
catch to 1000, barely enough to supply
the natives with food. but there are
reasons for the belief that this number
will be materially increased for the ap-
preaching season. 1t is the opinion OF
come persons interested in the matter
that as many as 10000 skins will be per.
mitted to be taken THE year, but this is
hardly probable. in view OF the fact
that the government agent at the seal
islands has reported that in his opinion
10000 ia the very highest number that
can safely be taken. The general opin-
ion is that this number will finally be

An Interesting Contest In the Land Office,
and the Young Woman Wins.
The final decision of the secretary Of
the interior in the land case of Francis
L. Box and Jerry Dammon against Jessie
M. Sinclair has been received. The case
was tried in the local land Office in 1891.
The decision was in favor of Miss Sin
clair. Box and Dammon appealed, and
the commissioner Of the general land
Office affirmed the decision of the local
Office Aug. 90, 1892. Both defeated
parties again appealed to the secretary,
who has now confirmed the commission
er's decision in favor of Miss Sinclair.
1t is seldom there is tinge Of romance
about a land Office case. There is in this
one. Miss Sinclair, whose home was at
Durand, was u schoolteacher. Her affec-
tions had been gained by worthy young
man whose homo is not far from the
Sinclairs in Pepin county. Both were
poor She determined to do her part in
giving herself and her future husband a
start, and with this purpose she settled
on the land in question. a portion of the
famous water reserve territory. Tho
land she gets is worth about "a 800, hav-
ing valuable pino on it. The young
lady's friends state the wedding will

COURT OF CLAIMS.
Au Important Decision Rendered by

Au Important Decision Rendered by
Judge Knott.
WARRINGTON, April 16.-A constitu-
tional opinion of great importance was
rendered By Judge Knott of the court OF
claims today, to the effect that the pres
ident can lawfully approve a bill after
the adjournment of congress, provided
the right be exercised within the 10
days allowed in the constitution.
The decision was rendered in one Of
two caees in which the United States
was the complainant and the L'Abra
Silver Mining company, Alice Wiel and
a large number of other persons respond
ents. These are the first cases
in the court OF claims in which
the government has appeared in
the character of plaintiff and private
parties as defendants. The suits grew
out of awards made by Sir Edward
Thornton as umpire of the Mexican
commission, in favor of the company,
and Benjamin We'll. in the one case, for
being driven away from their mine in
Mexico, and in the other for large
quantity OF cotton seized by the Mexican
army in 1868. subsequently the
Mexican government paid the
money awarded to the govern
ment OF the United States, but
at the same time charged that
the claims involved frauds of the gross
est character. Special acts were passed
by congress authorizing the president to
bring suits in the courts to vscate and
set aside the awards. Suits we're &C.
cordingly brought by the attorney gen.
eral in the form of bill in equity. The
respondents demurred, the ground being
that FIVE statutes under which they are
brought are unconstitutional and void.
The cases were elaborately argued by
the counsel, and have been under ad-
vsement since February. The court
upholds the constitutionality OF the
act and the sufiiciency of the govern
ment bill, and overrules the respond
ents' demurrer
