How the Rock Island Robbery Was
Executed.

How the Rock Island Robbery Was
Executed.
HENNEssY, Okla, April 1.-Two rob-
bers boarded the engine as Rock Island
train No. / was leaving Dover at IL 80
last night, and covering the engineer and
fireman, commanding them to stop
about 200 yards from the water-tank.
The engineer, who was little excited,
went about fourth of a mile before
stopping. One of the robbers fred at
him just missing him, and the ball
went through the cab window.
Conductor James Mack, not having
heard the shot, started to find out what
was wrong, and was covered as he ap-
preached the engine and told to climb
in the engine. They robbed him, and
were then joined by the others, who had
come up to the train.
A demand was made for Express Mes
senger Jones to open his door. This
WAS refused, and fusillade followed, in
which the messenger was wounded in
the wrist. He attempted to escape from
the opposite side of the car, but was cap
tured by the guard on that side and
made to crawl under the train. An at
tempt was then made to open the safe,
but nothing could be done.
Then the robbers proceeded to rob the
passengers.
When the train arrived at Kingisher.
Sheriff Burtch and United States Mar
shal Madsen were notified and carried to
the scene of the hold-up by a special
train. They found the trail about four
miles west of Dover, where Cimarron
river had been crossed, and are still fol-
lowing it.. The robbers are supposed to
be led by Dickey Eager, an outlaw, who
has headquarters in the Cheyenne country,
If the posse comes up with the robbers
fight will probably occur.

Nicaragua Canal Commission to Begil
Work at Once.

WOrk AT Onces
WASHINGTON, April 4.-It is expected
the Nicaraguan canal commission will
start for Nicaragua within two weeks, as
it is realized the time at its disposal is
short when the work to be done is con-
sidered. Major Ludlow probably will
be president of the commission by virtue
of his breVet rank of colonel. He is in
London on duty as military attache of
the American embassy and it is believed
his thorough acquaintance with the
British view of the canal project will be
of value to the commission.
He will be instructed by cable to take
the first steamer TO the United States
and come to Washington. The commits
sion will organize an outline of it's plans
of operations, then go to New York,
where a thorough examination will be
made of the details for the survey of the
canal, with the purpose of saving time
and work in the field. Returning to
Washington the commission will receive
formal instructions from the secretary of
state, then proceed to Mobile and sail on
the United States steamer Montgomery
for Grevtovn, at the eastern terminus of
the canal.
The season will not be well suited to
field WORK. as there is always an abun-
dance of rain to be expected in the sum-
mer months, and the party will have to
rough it principally on the east side,
where swamp jungles are impossible on
horseback and there are no roads. The
canal company, however, is doing what

Latest Developments in the
Spreckels Family Row.
DAMAGES ASKED FOR BY A SON
New suit Mainly Brought to Clear Him.
self OF the Charges Made by
His Father.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-The row in
the Spreckels family has reached some
what sensational stage. Young Gus"
Spreckels fled complaint in the SUI
perior court this morning charging his
father Claus Spreckels, with slander.
This charge grows out of the suits re-
Gently begun by the two younger Spreck-
els brothers against their father and
two older brothers to recover valuable
stock in the Spreckels Hawaiian sugar
business and Oceanic Steamship COM
pany.
The suit involving the Oceanic Steam
ship company was recently brought by
Gus Spreckels, who inaugurated man
damus proceedings to compel the direc-
tors of the company to call an annual
meeting. He alleged that by refusing to
do SO they were. keeping him out of his
representation on the board of directors.
After this suit was filed Claus Spreck-
els, in a newspaper interview, said some
very rough things about his younger
sons. He practically charged Gus with
the embezzlement of $3.50, 900 in 1891
while managing the Spreckels sugar re-
fnery in Philadelphia. The father also
charged that the suit against the Oceanic
Steamship Company was simply ga
piece of blackmail," by which the
younger brothers were trying to beat
him out of 100000 The father also
alleged that Gus had wasted his money,
would soon be a bankrupt, and "would
die in the gutter"
AS result of all this alleged defama-
ton, young Spreckels complains that
his reputation and business prospects
have been damaged many Thousand
dollars. In his complaint he recites that
he has actually been damaged to the ex.
tent of $4,000 but that it is not
money that he wants. He therefore
sues for $500. damages, nominal sum
as his desire is simply to clear himself o
the charges which his father has &c
publicly made against him.

The one great rule Of business is that
of honesty, absolute and unqualified
honesty, writes Edward W. Box III The
Ladies Home Journal AN the rules of
business are worthless if they are not
founded ON that one and only founda-
ton stone to true commercial success.
Honesty is not alone the best policy in
business. 1t is the one and only policy.
Upon it, and upon it alone, can a good
reputation be built, and man i'll bust
ness without n reputation for honesty
might just as we'll stop. Any deviation
from the rule of honesty in business may
bring temporary gain, but it invariably
means permanent loss. On the other
hand, "A strict adherence to an honest
