that q posse in pursuit of two men
who had stolen thirty horses in the
Choctaw nation followed the thieves
for three days, finally surrounding
them ten miles east of that place.
The thieves refused to surrender
and kept up firing, having dismount

the woods. The posse pressed them
closely, and the fight was kept up
for two or three hours, both pursued
and pursuers firing as rapidly as
they could load their revolvers. One

Cause and Effect.

The farmers of Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa, who have been
specializing in their own quiet but
thougktful way as to the causes of
the decline of the price of wheat
might have obtained some useful
information from the Iron Age of
ihe first week of March. It contain
ed the information that the Walter
A Wood Moving and Reaping Ma
chine company of Hoosick Falls, N.
Y, shipped during the previous
week by the steamship Douro for
Odessa. Russia, $50 carloads Of
mowers, rakes, reapers, harvesters
binders, tedders and other sgricul.
tural lsbor-saving implements. The
same company loaded 1000 tons of
similar implements to other Russian
ports and to Algiers and Tunis the
same week.
These facts convey the information
that the Russian wheat growers are
waking up to the Importance of cul-
tivating their crops by the most i'm
proved methods and at the least ex.
pense. In other words, they are In
the market as competitors for the
trade, and the price of silver has
nothing to do with the case. It is
purely a matter of ability to furnish
goods at the lowest price. While
Russia adhered to the old methods
of reaping and harvesting America
had the advantage which progress
always affords. But that advantage
no longer exists.
These facts are referred to only
for the purpose of directing the
minds of the farmers, who are SEN
sible thinking men. into the right
channel. The silver question has
nothing to do with the subject, and
tho political opinions of the admin.
istratlon are equally unimportant.
The price of wheat is regulated by
the laws Of supply and demand. and
when American machinery 10 added

Southwest City, Mo. March O.
"Jim Cummins," the train robber
who was wounded and captured at

sufficiently to be able to be moved
and taken by Sheriff Manlove of
Lawrence County, to Mount Vernon,
Mo, Where he will be given a trial
for holding up train No. l, on the
Frisco, February %.
Before leaving on his trip to
Mount Vernon, the young bandit
made statement in which he dis.
closed his identity aud gave a brief
history of himself. He said his
real name was Joshua Craft, was
born at Briar, Tex, and would be
2l next June. He led the life of a
cowboy in Tex. until last July, when
he made the acquaintance of a man
named Wilson at Paris, Tex. and
with him went to Claremore, /. T.,
where they worked for a time
After remaining in Claremore for
while, they made up their minds
to go into the train robbing busi-
ness.
Their first hold up was on the
Frisco Railroad, November II, 1894,
when they secured $3.50 and 80
watches. Their next hold-up was a
Rock Island train in the Indian Ter.
ritory November %, 1894, receiving
very little booty.
On the 31st of December, last,
they held up train on the Queen
and Crescent road near Livingstone,
Ala, securing only $18. They held
up and robbed train on the Cotton
Belt road near Mcneil, Ark January

From Mcneil they made their
way across the State into Missouri,
walking the entire distance, and on

the Frisco road near Aurora, Mo
On the night of February % they
entered the depot at Purdy, No,
and secured $59 and q watch.
The robbers were on their way to
Texas when they were run into by
the officers and the young robbie,

Gov. Stone, it seems in his ap-
pointments in the state and especial
ly at Kansas City, made a serious
mistake in not pulling off his hat to
the editor Of the Kansas City Times
Had he allowed that gentleman to
dictate appointments for him he
could haye immortalized himself in
the west end OF the state. Judge
john F. Philips. defeated candidate
for congress, might have given the
governor some pointers along this
line, had he been so inclined.

COmplimnets Warden Pace.

Csrterville Journal.
The closing days of the Legislature
always bring numbers of prominent
persons from all over the state to
the Capitol and this year has been
no exception to the rule. A visit to
the capitol is never considered COM
plete without trip to the peniten
tiary, In the last two weeks many
prominent members of the democrat
ic party have been here and if their
talk is any indication of the pulse of
the mass of the people Warden Pace
will surely be placed in some impor-
tant position on the next democratic
ticket. His management of the
prison is being unanimously ap-
proved and praised by men of all
parties and there is no doubt but
what his name would add great
strength to the ticket.
On the 9th ult., with the appro5a-
ton of Warden Pace, 1 had the
pleasure of showing lawyer Thos.
Dolan and James Sapp, OF Joplin,
every place of interest in the prison
and they seemed to be pleased with
their visit and especially in having a
short chat with Warden Pace. Mr.
Dolan is one of the leading lights of
the bar of Jasper county, and one of
Joplin's clever and self made young
men.

Judge DeArmond has returned
home after the close of his second
term in Congress. Heretofore he
las acted with the majority party
and took a stand among the fore
most statesmen of the day on all
great questions that came before that
body. His ability as lawyer was
recognized and he was given place
on the Judiciary Committee, one OF
the greatest compliments which can
be bestowed on a lawyer in that
body where there are so many rec
ognized great lawyers. 1t can be
truthfully said of Judge DeArm,
