HIS SATANIC MAJESTY.

An oath on the lip is the devils door
plate.
THE devil soon runs from the man he
can't discourage.
WOMEN cen be the DEVILS best friend
or his worst enemy.
WHEN the devil goes to church he
generally dresses in white.
A TON thrown straight at the devil
is pretty apt to hit some politician
square in the face.
The devil keeps many in bondage.
because he can make a rope of sand
look like IN iron cable.-Ram's Horn

VICTOR. Col, March 25.-Florence and
Cripple Creek railroad train No. 6,
leaving Victor at $50 p. IN. yesterday,
was held up by five masked robbers
just outside the city limits. The rob-
bers stopped the train by getting on
the engine and pulling revolvers on
Engineer Pope.
The robbers then went through the
mail and express car, but found MOTH
ing valuable. The mail and express
matter was not molested. The robbers
then compelled the express messenger
to take the lead and going through the
coaches, held up several passengers,
taking two or three gold watches and
some money. No one was injured.
The train was delayed about thirty
minutes.
The railroad and express companies
offer a reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction of the robbers. 1t
seems that two of the thieves boarded
the train at Victor. One entered the
sleeper and commenced Immediately
to wake up the passengers, relieving
them of their money and watches, Sc
uring 500 in money, including the
Pullman car conductors receipts.
The other robber got on to the
blind baggage" at Victor and climbed
over the tender of the engine, holding
the engineer and fireman up and COM
polling them to stop the train ut a
point one and one-half miles south of
Victor, where four or five other rob-
bers were in waiting. The latter party
commenced work on the mail and ex-
press cars and soon had them open.
The robbers were dressed in miners
clothes, SLOUGH hats and wore masks.
They were jovial in their treatment of
the trainmen, but hurried through
with their work, enforcing their COM
mands with a ready display of fire.
arms.
After the robbery. the engineer
started the train back to Victor, but
the robbers objected, and commanded
the engineer to pull out south, which
he did. All officials of surrounding
towns were notified by the trainmen
of the robbery at the first station.

To THE PEOPLE OF MIssoURI-It is very
generally known that the farming community
in two or three of the states west of Missouri
have been in great distress during the past
winter, owing to the disastrous and widespread
drought occurring last summer. The condition
of this unfortunate people is extremely unhap-
py. They are not only meaSurably destitute,
but the prospect for future improvement is
bad, because of their utter lack OF means
to obtain the necessary seed to plant crops,
and the want Of provender to support their
horses and other live stock. These people are
our fellow-citizens. They appeal to US for aid,
and we should respond quickly and generous
~. l am informed by the president and Secre
tary Of the ST. Louis Merchants exchange that
daily appeals are coming from this stricken
region to the exchange, and to other CONNER
cial bodies and the principal officers of the
city. The merchants exchange and mercan-
tile club of St. Louis have taken the matter in
hand to bring it to the attention OF the people
OF st. Louis, and to ask for contributions to re-
lieve these worthy but distressed citizens OF
our sister states.
venture in this public way to suggest to
the good people OF the different counties Of the
state outside OF st. Louis that some organized
effort be made to aid this charitable enterprise
either by the contribution OF money, wheat,
corn or oats. II a committee in each county
having the confidence Of their respective COM
munities should be appointed and would take
active interest in the work, no doubt q great
deal could be accomplished. Any committees
so organized can. il so desired. cooperate with
