There were two hold ups in the
city last night, one On the West,
and one on the East side. The
police have the description of the
highwayman on the West side, and
he will be caught if in the city. The
East side robber was a colored man
and it will be hard to catch and

Child Hurt

Yesterday Mr., Knapp. a truck
farmer living near the city, sent
his wagon to town with load OF
chickens, and his three little chill
dren we're permitted to ride on the
wagon. After reaching the city,
and when taking a chicken from
the wagon, one made its escape and
the Young man in charge started
started after it, which frightened
the mules and caused them to run
The largest boy, holding the lines
finding he could not stop them,
jumped out, and the mules in wheel
ing a corner threw out the next
oldest one, hurting it badly about
the head and face, but not serious
ly. The youngest child was too
small to jump, and it remained in
the wagon until the mules were
stopped and did not get bruised,
but was considerably frightened.

When the girl comes to be woman
look out. If she starts out in vigorous,
womanly health then it is pretty safe to
say she will be healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman.
The beginning of womanhood is the
real crisis in a woman's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe it
isn't very serious-no matter--the time
to stop disease is when it starts.

He spoke in behalf of the coal inter

claring that the section he represents
would be able to control the coal mar
kets Of the Pacific coast of North and
South America with the shipping facil-
tiles which would be afforded by the
canal. At present all coal used on the
Pacific coast, he stated. is mined in
Australia, Japan and Vancouver. He
predicted that with the advancement
of the japanese they would monopoIize
the coal business of the coast unless
the canal should be built when the
freight rates would enable West Vir-
ginia to undersen the Japanese.

Early yesterday afternoon in company
with Auditing Clerk 81 Oldham. he rode

Calling to his companion he turned and
rode back. The snake was just cross
ing the road when reached the second
time, and thinking to crush its head,
Mr.. Banks rode over its neck
AS quick as flash the snake coiled
about the spol1es and hub of the wheel
and gave a rattle that made Banks
blood curdle. He began going faster
and faster, with the snake shaking its
rattles and Mr.. Oldham in pursuit.
They rode in this manner almost a
mile, when a part of his snakeship's
body became entangled in the front bar
of the wheel This caused the machine
to come to a sudden halt Mr.. Banks
continued his trip about ten feet but
was not injured by the fail. During the
wild ride the snake managed once to
strike the heel of Mr.. Banks shoe, but
the fangs did not penetrate to the flesh
After recovering from his fright Mr.
Banks gathered up the remains of the
snake and brought them with him to
Kansas City and has them on exhibit
ton at the depot. The reptile measured
SIS inches and had seven rattles and
button. The owner will have a belt
made of the skin.
