Cfgver Diamond robbery in New Yor

New YORK, March 25-The jewelry
store Of Constant Lucius was robbed Sat
urday afternoon of diamonds to the value
of 81, 600. An unknown man, well dressed,
drove up in a buggy opposite the store and
beckoned to the clerk, Mr. Frederick, to
come out TO him. Although Frederick
was alone in the store at the time he did
so, and the stranger, taking handsome
gold watch from his pocket engaged him
in some conversation regarding some fan
cied trouble in the movement. When
Frederick returned to the store he discov-
cred that some one had entered the store
and taken from the showcase two trays OF
diamonds valued at $1,000.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN COLORADO.
They Relieve Passengers of Watches and
Diamonds and 81 900 in Cash.

VICTOR, Colo, March 25-Masked rob-
bers who held up the ~ orence and Cripple
Creek south bound u IN just outside the
eity limits, Saturday night, did not obtain
much plunder Two robbers boarded the
train at Victor One entered the sleeper
and began Immediately to wake up the
passengers and seize their money and
watches. The train was fairly well filed,
quite number of ladies being on board.
Besides a large number of valuable
watches, rings and diamonds about 81, 900
in money was secured.
The other robber crawled to the engine,
compelling the engineer to stop the train
a mile and half south of Victor, where
four or five of the robbers were in waiting.
They soon had the mail and express cars
open, enforcing their commands with a
ready display of firearms. After the rob
berry the engineer started the dtrain back
to Victor, but the robbers objected and
commanded the engineer to pull out
south.
A special train came in yesterday with
the bloodhound that did such good work
recently at Walsenburg, tracking the Ital-
ian murderers. The dog seemed to get a
scent two or three times, but the officers
put in the whole day without being able
TO locate any of the robbers. The job was
doubtless done by part Of the same gang
that robbed John Hargent the night be-
fore in his cabin near the town. The dog,
upon being placed on what was supposed
to be the trail of one of the bandits, made
straight shot for some cabins near the
Strong mine in the outskirts of the town.
Last night Bob Taylor, an ex-deputy
sheriff and employe of the Strong mine,
who shot bartender in Pueblo during
the railroad trouble last summer and a
young man called "The Kid" working
for the same company, were arrested by
Constable Lambert, of Cripple Creek.
The Kid is alleged TO answer to the de
scription Of the man who climbed over the
tender and held un the engineer.

ing by turning back the hands of
the clock. The session in both
houses wound up with rioting and
disgraceful scenes, and several per
sonal encounters occurred. In the
last hours the prize fighting bill was
killed. A penitentiary was located
at Round Pond; Normal School at
Alva and an insane asylum at Perry.
A monstrous appropriation bill was
passed, giving 100000 for keeping
the insane one year and making a
$4,000 printing steal. The sala
ries and incidentals of all Territorial
officers were raised. The Governor
vetoed the fees and salaries bill and
is now busy vetoing a number Of
other perpicious Republican meas
ures.
The capital was relocated at Guth
rie. The House passed bill pro-
hibiting the manufacturing. sale or
giving away of cigarettes or cigarette

went through were one providing

consequently, is in no danger of au
egg famine, but what is is more im-
portanee to the housekeeper is that
this great influx of eggs has brought
abaut drop in the wholesale price
of IA cents a dozen or nearly 50
per cent. Eggs could be purchased
yesterday at l5t cents dozen as
compared with 80 cents a dozen a.
week ago. This remarkable decline
in price is attributed by the dealers
as being largely due to the receipt
early in the week of car load of
California eggs, the first that ever
reached this market and which was
followed during the week by four
additional car loads.

The smoke of the senatorial bat
tie has lifted, and the results are
we'll known far and wide. Sena-
tor Nelson and Governor Clough
are the fruits of the conflict, for
some to vince over. Such fruits
should not be considered as of the
bitter kind, for in those men, there
are sterling qualities that have
commended them to the people.
They are where they are by virtue
of their indomitable energy, per-
severance and pluck, and the ex.
pressed will of the majority of the
people. To oppose those men
manfully, and above board, before
their elevation, was a privilege
that every man possessed. To
continue in belaboring them and
bewailing the situation is prosy in
the extreme, and smacks more or
less of damphoolishness.

February.

Our present calendar is mainly the
the work of the Romans, Ito whom, by
the way, the world is much indebted
for civilized government and
it is therefore not strange that the
names Of the months should be Latin
ones. This month was not, however,
in the original Roman calendar, but
was added by King Numa, who, when
he increased the number of months bv
two, placed January at the beginning
and February at the end. 1t received
its name either from the word FEB
RUARE, to purify, or from FEBRUA,
the festival of publication, which was
celebrated about this time. In the
year 452 B. c., the decemvirs changed
the order of the months, maxi
ing December the close of the year.,
and placing February after January.
This position it has since retained.
The old heather customs Of publication
from the labors and sins of the year by
sacrifices n penances in February.
have passed entirely away. People
now take simply a rest from both
business and dissipation by a journey
somewhere, escaping from the ennui
land sometimes the temptations which
ensues on being too constantly in the
same place and occupation. If you
contemplate a journey for such reasons,
or any other, an important pre-
requisite is that your railroad ticket
should be over the Burlington Route.

demanded under the proposed
changed. It has been urged that
the amount of business does not
warrant the formation of a new
district. The members of the bar
of this place are a unit in contro-
verting this objection. 1t is a
noticeable fact that our judges are
compelled to hurry and crowd
their work tosget around and meet
the requirements of the district.
1t has also been suggested that
the proposed district does not con-
tain men capable of filling the ex-
allied position. That is the film
siest of nonsense. Men of capa-
bility, energy and common sense
reside in every n of the counties
Lawyers of experience, grown
gray in legal work, or younger
men we'll fitted by nature and edu-
cation l. called to mind who can
wear the judicial robes with
dignity and honor. While strongly
favoring the new district, there is
not the slightest sentiment of dis
respect or dislike for the honora-
BILE men who sit on the bench in
the Seventh judicial district.
Judges Searle and Baxter have a
warm place in the hearts Of the
members of the bar, and of the
people of this county. They are
men of the liberal mold, temper
ing their decisions with an equity
and justice hat reach out to the
minds of the people who are al
ways ready to return their appre-
citation when opportunity offers.
"But business is business" and
from that platform, the demands
for a new district rise paramount,
the interests of the county warrant
it, and, if left to popular vote, the
opposition would be an exceed
ingly small factor.
