A Lovely Place.

THE grandeur that surrounds the
dining rooms OF BonneF's Restaurants is
growing In favor every day. as Is evil
denced by the immense crowds that are
fed at that popular resort. The tables
are ladened with every conceivable dish
of good things. which makes 1t q con-
coded facs that Frank Bonner serves the
best meals ever set in Roanoke. Ice

inclined to leave the eternal city and
establish his residence elsewhere, which
would no doubt be very pleasing to the
Italian government as 1t would be the
end of the Roman question.
Rome would then belong entirely to
the kingdom Of Italy, and there would
be no more trouble about the papal
question which the government Of King
Humbert Is now not able to solve. So

Italian cardinals In the papsl conclave
there is no probability of the election of
an American or any other foreign pope.
They will keep the exalted Office in the
family, 30 to speak, and 1t is stated
positively by those in position to
know that the papacy has now less ides
those of Rome, and of abandoning Its
claim upon the possession Of the eternal
city. But for these drawbacks Cardinal
Gibbons might be chosen successor Of
Leo XIII, as, apart from the high re.
gard IN which he is held by the latter,
he is a man OF much ability and great
piety, and as far az the world outside
can see would make an excellent pope.

must be admitted that the Spanish view
of the recent demand of this country for
the immediate settlement Of the Mora

people of this country, as majority,
would be glad to see Cuba annexed to

years ago the wisdom of the special Or
gantzstion of the young people WAS a
matter under discussion. To-day the
denomination is practically unit In
favor Of both the local org sniEstion of
the young people and the fraternal
union OF their organization for the study
and emphasis of this particular order of
church work.
A great achievement in our denomi.
national history was won when, in 1891.
this Baptist Young Peoples Union Of
America WAS organized. The last year
has been emphatieally the best OF the
four which the union has seen. En-
thusiaam for the movement WAS greatly
kindled by the Toronto convention.
The whole year has recorded the new
impetus given to the new movement.
There has been great growth of conf.
dence in the working value OF the young
peoples society as 6 local method.
Progress has been made in the spirit
of confederation. Our Canadian and
Southern brethren were introduced to
each other last year at Toronto. This
year North and South, East and West
have come together Ia notable ways for
Baptist fellowship and cooperation.

at los O'Clock yesterday morning the east
bound Atlantic express on the Union Pacific
was held up at Buttermilk hill, about two miles
this side of Brady Island, where the sand
hills terminate at the Union Pacific track.
The express car was damaged by dynamite
and 500 taken from a small safe. On the
east side of these sand hills a wagon road
comes in from the north, angling westward.
Here is a level stretch of road ana was
the scene of a bold train robbery. Two
men boarded the train at Brady, going for
ward over the tender after the train was in
motion, and with revolvers drawn they held
up the fireman and engineer, compelling the
latter, at the point Of a revolver, to 80 back
to the baggage car, open the door and let
them in, which he did by informing the
baggage man that they were held up and
that the robber had a gun at his head.
Upon getting into the car the expressman
was compelled to open the smaller safe. He
could not open the larger one, and the rob-
bers proceeded to blow the top OF it out with
dynamite. In the meantime the fireman
managed to give the robbers the slip, and
going forward he uncoupled the engine from
the train and made the run to Gothenburg
to secure a posse Of men to help capture
the bandits. In a short time twenty volun-

disappeared.
The bandits wore black SLOUGH hats, with
black silk handkerchiefs for masks. They
were about five feet ten in height and would
weigh about $50 pounds each. They were
roughly dressed and tuned their voices TO
disguise the tone. They rode horses and evil
IDENTIFY came in from the hills. The windows
were all blown out of the baggage ear by
the explosion of the dynamite and 1t seems
that the bandits were experts in using the
explosive.
When the dynamite exploded the plssen.

moiested.
The section foreman at Vroman has seen
men around the place Of the robbery for
several days and has a good description OF
them.
Superintendent w. L.. Parke and Sheriff
Miller of North Platte went to the scene Of
the robbery in a special car, with a posse OF
men. Early in the morning men were sent
out from North Platte and Brady and every
fort is being made to capture the robbers
before they get out of the country.
