ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Express Train the Union Pacific
Held Up by Three Men.

An Express Train ON the Union Pacific
Held Up by Three Men.
GOTHENBURG, Neb., Aug 22.-The east
bound overland fast express No. 8 on the
Union Pacific railroad was held up just
after midnight at Buttermilk Hill, about
two miles this side of Brady Island.
There were three men visible according
to the story told by Conductor Flynn
Two of the gang got on the train at Brady
Island, going forward over the tender
after the train was in motion, and with
revolvers drawn held up tine fireman and
engineer, and compelled the engineer at
the muzzles of revolvers to go back to the
baggage car and inform the baggageman
that they were held up, and that the rob-
bers had gun at his head and demanded
admittance. They were admitted at once
and the expressman was compelled to open
the smaller safe. He could not open the
larger combination safe, and the robbers
proceeded to blow it open with dynamite.
In the meantime the fireman managed
to give bhe robbers the slip, and, going
forward, he uncoupled the engine and
made the run to Gothenburg for posse
of men to help capture the gang. In a
short time twenty volunteers were on
the way to the scene of the robbery, but
before they arrived the robbers had dis
appeared.
Express Messenger Thomas McCarl
says the robbers did not get over 500 for
their trouble. They sacked the way safe,
but failed to get inside the large safe,
which contained the most valuable pack

THE wATER suppLY.
Most of the Towns i'm the Region are suffer-
ing Water Famine.


Information received from different parts
of the county show that theqnestion of water
is becoming an important one. At Miners
Vile the dams arc empty and the town will
go dry for day or two and a water famine
is staring the people of the'town in the face.
Four collieries are being supplied with water
i'm addition to the town consumers
The big artesian well at Ashland is not
equal to the demands made upon it and the
curtailment Of the water supply by borough
authorities to fifteen hours out Of the twenty
four appears to give but little relief. Unless
the town is favored with several days rain
the probabilities are that the supply will be
shut off entirely.
Mahanoy City has still sufficient water to
supply all necessary needs of town consumers
but the continued drouth has necessitated the
shutting off ofthe supply heretofore furnished
the Reading colieries. The dams of the
company are pretty low, and the streams that
supply it are daily growing smaller
The towns served by the Pottsville Water
Company are in no immediate danger of a
scarcity of this precious article Their source
Of supply, the Morea dam, is holding out
well.
The town of Morea is also suffering for the
want Of sufficient water while Hazleton peo-
pie are fearful that the city will go dry The
Nescopeck creek is empty.
While the majority of the towns are COM
planning of an inadequate supply Shenandoah
has an over abundance derived from the old
company and that of the borough water
works. The former has curtailed its supply
somewhat by refusing water to the fire COM
panies for sprinkling purposes, in order to
guard against future drouth But the dams
Of the borough are filled, and at the pump
ing station the water is running to waste over
the waste-way of the breastworks. The
streams running into this dam are exceedingly
strong for this time Of year. So far as Shen-
andoah il, concerned there is no danger of a
water famine.

Wiiiom Smarowski's grocery and dry goods
store, on South Main street, was robbed this
morning between and o'clock. The rob
bers succeeded in taking about 500 worth of
goods, besides considerable cash. They
gained entrance through an open transom,
and no clue of their identity has been found.
Parties living over the store heard the noise,
and in coming down stairs frightened the
robbers, who jumped through front window,
breaking the glass Blood stains were found,
probably from cuts received in making their
escape.

DOMAIN FOR LILIUOKALANI.
Sixth Congressional District Of Kan
sas to be Coded to Her.

A Topeka (Kans.) paper in a receut
issue says:
The joke OF the week in the House of
Representatives was over a measure
prepared by a member from the Sixth
congressional district for the purpose
of ceding that territory to Queen Lii
uokalani, who is supposed to be headed
for the United States. 1t is claimed
that the Sixth district has been aban-
dOned by the Lord and left to its own
devices by the present State admins
tratiOE. 1t has had hard luck from
start to finish. 1t has had hot winds
and no rain-Baker in Congress and
the RussI-L thistle taking the coun-
Der of more or less eminent states
men journeyed to Topeka in
search of the spOils of office. So
far they have got left with startling
unanimtty, aud at present there
seems to be no surcease of sorrow.
Under these circumstances it is
thought best to turn the entire dis
trict over to Liliuokalani and give
her another chance. The highest thing
the, district has been able to hold in
the past four years has been William
Baker, and even his friends never
counted him higher than a two spot.
The careful calculator who has pre-
pared the bill thinks that a queen,
even though she is little soiled and
has a corner torn off, will help their
hand up in the northwest. The meas
ure is as follows:
Be it Enacted by the Legislature of
the State of Kansas
Section 1. AS soon as Queen Lii of
the Sandwich Islands shall land in
the United States of America as a
refugee from the island over which
for years she has been queen, it shall
be the duty of the Governor of the
State Of Kansas 10 appoint three ex-
state officials to meet her at the Golden
Gate and formally cede to her the
Sixth Congressional District of the
State.
Section 2. The provisions of this
Act are such that Grover Cleveland
shall not be permitted to run for Office
in said district, or take any position
under her.
This Act shall take effect on and
after its publication in the Smith
County Pioneer, Kansas.

MERRY MUSICALE At PUNAHOU.
Miss Axtell Charmed Numerous Mu-
sic Lovers Last Night.
Vocal and Instrumental Programme Wen
Rendered by Talented rtIst.
Two New Songs.

The parlors Of Punahou College
and veranda Immediately outside
were filed with lovers of music last
night, gathered for the purpose of
hearing the musical recital by Miss
Axtell, the talented teacher Of ~
sic at Oahu College.
The two part
cono--.o.lng of vocal and instrument
tai music, were most admirably
rendered, and special mention
should be made of several pieces.
"Le Paphlon" (The Butterfly,
by Levalee, was by far the most
difficult production of the evening.
The movement in the piece is very
intricate and quick. Miss Axtell
charmed her hearers by the grace
and seeming ease with which she
played it.
A very interesting fact is con-
nected with the two songs of B.
Cutter, "Wanderer's Night Song"
and "When I Left Thee" both of
which were on the programme rem
dered last night. Miss Axtell was
a student in the New England Con.
servatory of Music under Professor
Gutter, who is now earning fame by
the successful career which he has
made.
When the time came for the
faculty recital, Miss Axtell was
found to be the only one chosen
from the several hundred young
ladies in attendance, to sing on
the occasion. Professor Cutter
gave her the two songs, mentioned
above, which she sang 60 well that
the original manuscripts of the
same were presented to her at the
close.
The Wanderers Night Song"
has not yet been published. This,
together with "When 1 Left Thee"
were sung for the first time by
Miss Axtell. Last night was the
first occasion Honolulu people had
for hearing them.
HE Was Despaired," from Han
dels Messiah" was rendered with
singular force as was the "Flower
Song" from Gounod's Faust"
The programme was closed with
the delightful little songs Good
bye" and LA Serenata," both by
Tosti. Those who were present
feel very grateful to Miss Axtell
for the pleasant evenings enter
tainment and express the hope that
there may be other such events In
the near future. No admission fee
was charged.
