Chicago Limited on the Lake Shore
Boarded by Robbers.
Masked men boarded a west-bound
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern ex-
press train at Reece Siding, Ind, at 1885
Wednesday morning, forced open an ex-
press car and ut the point of revolvers
compelled the messenger to unlock the
safe. 1t is known that at least $4,000 was
taken. The train is a heavy one, made up
of several express cars, baggage and mail
cars, two coaches and three Pullmans.
Reece Siding is a lonely spot in the
woods, between ArchbOld and Stryker,
about ten miles west of Wauseon. A
blind sliding is used by this train nightly
to allow the western express to pass. This
usual stop is well known to those familiar
with the locality. For a mile in each d.
rection the woods are dense close to the
railroad right of way.
The noise of the coming western ex-
press was ringing louder and louder when
Conductor Darling, who stood by a coach,
saw three masked men ride out of a road
from the woods which led directly to an
express car which crossed it. He was or
dered inside the coach and ut the same
time three men, approaching the other
side, Joined their companions in demand
ing admission to the express car. This
was gained at revolvers' points, and the
express messenger, under threats Of in
slant death, was compelled to open the
safe. The entrance to the express car
was made quickly and no cOmmotion was
created in the other cars. The robbers
seemed to know just how to handle the
railroad men and to board the cars. Their
evident Familiarity with ears and the time
the trains met give rise to suspicious that
they are railroad men.
When the robbers had secured the
safes contents signal was given to those
who watched outside, the engineer was re-
leased from restraint and the highway
men silently rode way. Passengers in
the sleepers did not know of any unusual
event and no attempt was made to enter
the Pullmans.
Express and railroad officials at To.
ledo were at once notified when the train
reached Bryan. Superintendent Blodgett
and Manager Caniff left at once on a spe-
cial train for the scene of the robbery,
notifying the police officials of all ad-
jacent towns to be on the lookout for the
robbers. Officials express the opinion
that the robbery was committed by per-
sons in close touch with the road and its
methods, or at least tho express company,
for that night an unusually large sum Of
money was, express officials say, carried
in the express safe This admission gives
rise to the belief that a much larger sum
than So, 900 was carried off.

INDIAN WAR ON.
Wyoming Settlers Arm Themselves

and Prepare to Fight.
The Indian war has broken out in earn
est. The vague rumor that a white man
and his wife and child had been killed in
the Wyoming Salt River Valley, and that
settlers in retaliation had killed six of the
redskins is confirmed. Tho excitement
among the settlers in Northwestern Wy
Oming over the threatened uprising of the
BannOck and Shoshone Indians is growing
more intense every day. They are leav-
ing their ranches in large numbers and
gathering at favored points for mutual
protection in case the irate Indians return
to seek vengeance for the death of their
brother braves.
The story of the killing of the three
whites and six Indians is spreading alarm
at rapid rate. The settlers are becoming
thoroughly aroused, and if they are not
soon protected by government troops they
will take the field in protection of their
own homes and lives, and they are we'll

How different is the pessimism to-
ward which literary men are seen
tend! Harvard University lost James
Russell Lowell in 1891 and Asa Gray in
1883. The letters Of both these eminent
men have been published. Lowelps
letters grow sad and discouraged, and
he gives way more and more to tho
p~essimistic spirit. Gray Is optimistic
steadily to the end. The difference was
partly due to natural temperament,
but chiefly, l think, to the influence of
their respective professions. The SUBJ
ject material Of the literary man is ia
miliar human nature and familiar hu-
man surroundings, and his task Is to
express the thoughts and dreams which
these suggest. He must compete with
the whole past, with all the genius that
has been. There is nothing new under
the SUM-, he exclaims. But to us it is q

qualified by long experience in this coun-
try to do even more effective fighting than
the regulars. The Indians realize that
the cowboys are more dangerous than the
troops. The reds know they can surren-
der to the soldiers and they will be in no
further danger, but when the frontier
volunteers 20 out to hunt Indians they
fight as the Indians do themselves. They
shoot to kill and kill all in sight.
The trouble originated when thirty men
set out from Jackson's Hole to arrest u
band Of Indians for violating the State
game laws. In Hoback canyon they dis
covered an Indian camp and ut daylight
surprised the Indians and captured them
all without a shot being fired. In this
camp they found 49, green elk skins.
Each Indian was started back for the
Hole with a white man at his back with
his rifle across his arm ready for any
emergency. The sIunws were in the rear
with the packs. and William Crawford in
the rear of the squuws with the constnbles
in charge. When nearly through an In
dian let out Il war whoop and every In
dian, squaw and all, broke from the trail
and attempted to escape. The posse i'm
mediately opened fire, and in the laconic
language Of the report, al! the Indians
were killed except II papoose." The
posse Immediately covered up all trace of
their deadly work, shot the Indian horses
and FASTENED back to Marysville, Jack
sons Hole. The settlers there immediate
" began to prepare for the worst.

TWO GREAT RIVAL ARMIES.
Tremendous Sacrifices Which French and
German Nations Have Made.

2reme0uOus SacrtnceS " hich French an a
German Nations Have Made.
The knowledge that France would fly
at Germany's throat as soon as it seemed
safe to do so has been a permanent
factor in all international bargainings
and controversies; the terror that some
untoward accident might precipitate
the always-threatened conflict, even
against the desires and best Judgment
OF the cOmhatants, has never ceased to
haunt the imaginations of men, says
the London Saturday Review. If this
prolonged anxiety has ruined the
nerves of onlookers, what must have
been the tension upon the peoples di-
rectly concerned! Statistics afford
some slight conception of the material
burdens which they have been forced
TO bear. When the war ended, for in
stance, the Germans had 1000 troops
of all arms ON French territory.
To-day the regular peace footing of
the regular French army, without
counting gendarmerie or any reserves,
actually exceeds by 10000 that total
muster of the Germans at the time of
their triumph. The present standing
army of the German empire, being
formed on the theory of defensive
force, is a trifie smaller. 1t has only
SIS, 900 men under arms. These figures
are too vast to convey realities to the
mind. The fact may be made a little
clearer by saying the French and Ger
man peoples together have now some
100000 more professional fighting men
in active service than they found it
necessary to maintain before the war
of 1870. Yet this, too, fails to give All
adequate idea of the tremendous sacri-
ice which both nations have been COM
PEELED to make, year after year, through
out this weary quarter of a century.

OUR TITLED WOMEN AT HOME.
The Estates and Residences of Formes
american Girls Now Living.ln England.

The Estates and Residences of Formes
american Girls Now Living.in England.
American young women who marry
titled or prominent Englishmen usually
spend the remainder of their lives
abroad. Their homes are all that
money can buy. The new duchess of
Marlborough will, of course, occupy
Blenheim, one of the most magnificent
private residences in the world. For
tunes have already been spent in COM
pleting and repairing this magnificent
castle, and another million or so could
be employed to good advantage in put
ting the building and grounds in order.
1t is expected that large portion of the
marriage settlement will be expended
in this manner, says the New York
World.
One of the largest castles in Eng
land, Coombe abbey, belongs to tia
countess of Craven, who was Miss Cor
nelia Bradley Martin, and who has Just
passed her 18th birthday, though she
has been lady of high degree for more
than year.
The countess of Essex, who was Miss
Adele Grant, of New York, owns ALI
other of the English grand country
seats. The countess of Essex brought
her husband no fortune, but she is ac-
knowledged to be one of the most beau
tiful and charming of England's rap
idly-increasing colony of American
tprincesses." She is the second wife of
the earl of Essex. Her favorite resi-
Tdence is Cassioberry, in Hertfordshire.
The building is the center of vast
grounds, including some of the best
deer parks in England. The grounds
contain more than 20 miles of walks
and drives, all beautifully shaded. The
countess need never go beyond her own
preserves when she takes outdoor ex-
erciSe.
