world. The only professional department
we have is a school OF law. 1t Is true
we teach some young men mat VII! De
preachers, but only IN the same way that
we teach some who are going 10 be ply
sicians and some that are going 10 be
teachers. and some that are going 10 be
farmers and some that are going 10 De
Journalists and some that, as we trust,
are going TO be statesmen. The only dlt-
ference between students looking for
ward 10 the ministry and others is that,
by deed and charter, the college is bound
to furnish tuition free to such young
men expecting to preach as are unable
TO pay for their collegiate training.

the Law SCHOOL, who received diplomas

"Mr. G. III. Cole. a graduate OF the Theo-

to young men expecting to enter the min

FOURTH BLUE CUT HOLD UP
Famous Spot in Missouri Scene of
Another Train Robbery.

man, and compelled them TO get down
from the cab. At the am time another
member of the bandit gang uncoupled the
express car from the rest Of the train. The
robbers quickly climbed aboard the loco
motive and the express ear, and before the
surprised trainmen had time 10 collect their
wits the bandits were speeding down the
grade beyond Blue Cut with the engine
and the express car and Express Messcn-
ger Frier of st. Louis was "A prisoner in
the express car.
At 2:30 Thursday morning the express
car was brought back to Independence
and Express Messenger J. A. Frier told
The story of the robbery.
About five minutes after his car was de-
iached from the train, he said, he heard a
rap at the side door, and thinking it was
,he brakeman, opened it. y man with a
shot gun compelled him to retreat into the
ear. while two others followed with re-
volvcrs and ordered him to throw up his
hands.
damn YOU, give us the keys to the
safe said one of the men to the messenger
at this point. Fricr refused 10 Ito this and
the two men who had renamed on the ont
side lcapcd into the ear. They jumped on
Frier. pinned him to the floor and took the

then chuckcd up into a corner with
two gun held to his head
and he was told 10 stay there. The third
man then took the keys, opened the safe
and tool from il several packages Of
money, and after the robbers had secured
the contents of the small safe they attempted
to open the large one. a small hole,
onc-eighth of an inch in diameter, was
made in thc large safe and two sticks OF
dynamite put in. Fricr talked to
the men, telling them they were wasting
time, as there was not a penny in the large
safe. At this time they desiStcd from their
attempt 10 open it and prepared to leave.
Before they went away II Of the men
walked over to Fricr and taking Il - bill
from his pocket said.
''IIcre, help yourself to a Christmas
present. we made a good haul"
1t is impossible to estimate the amount
of moaey taken from the small safe, as the
express messenger refused to state. He
admitted, however, that there was a great
deal Il money which was heing shipped
for Christmas. 1t is fair to estimate it at
several thousand dollars.

THE WEEK IN TRADE
BUSINESS WORLD AS SEEN BY
DUN &.CO.
Bank Failures During Past Week
Have a Dad Effect on business
Claimed that Mckinley Has De-
cidcd Upon His Cabinet.


r. G. Dan IL Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: The failure of two important
banks, the second in size of business at
Chicago and the oldest at ST. Paul, with
some others dependent N them. closes not
favorabiy a month which promised to end
with only moderate commercial disasters.
Ii does not lessen the effect of these fail
ures that one was caused by enormous
loans in aid of an electric railway and
other concerns. and that the other appears
to have resulted from heavy ventures in
unstable real estate. Since several thou
sand business men and dcpositorS are for
the time embarrassed as much as the spec
ulGtorS tlat caused the trouble. the
breakdown is the reverse of hopeful, al
though il comes when many markets are
we'll supplied and when no serious effect in
business is TO be Appreciated.
Other important events of the week are
the failure of the billet and rail pools to
find a basis for agreement. and the some

CONGRESS TAKES A RECESS.
House and Senate Adjourn Till After
the Holidays.

The United States Senate was uneXpcct-
ealy diverted, Tuesday. from Cuba to the
Pacific railroads. soon after the session
opened Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota
called up his resolution relative to the trust
notes of the Pacific railroads. The senator
made a savage onslaught or the Pacific
railway system in general, charging that a
combination of private interests was seek
ing To absorb the roads and close out the
government. This opened the entire ques-
ton, and Senator Morgan of Alabama fol-
lowed with a bitter a%rraignment of the
Pacific roads, charging them with fraud
and crime on a gigantic scale. The speech
lasted until shortly before 2 O'Clock. when
the morning hour expired, thus sending
over the Cuban question until after the
holidays. Further than this the session
was uneventful and the senate adjourned
for the holiday recess, lasting until Jan
uary 5.
The house passed the legislative, eXecu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill and
then adjourned for the holiday recess.

Townsite Application Rejected.

The Chamberlain land office has rejected
the application of citizens of Gregory
County to make entry to the townsite Of
Fairfax. The town was located several
years ago, and aspires to be the county
seat of Gregory County as o as the
county is organized. The town site appli-
cation was filed by the county judge of
Charles Mix County, to which Gregory is
attached for judicial purposes, through his
attorney, John ID. Rivers, and was rejected
Tor W reasons. One reason is that the
townsiters apply to make proof at once on
l60 acres, and claim population of only so.
The other reason is that fifty people can
not make proof on as large a tract as 100
acres. The case will be appealed.
