THEY TOOK THEIR TIME.
Masked Robbers Looted Parson-
age in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 1.-TWO rob
bers, masked and armed, looted the par
sonage of the church of the Sacred
Heart, situated on the outskirts of the
city, at o'clock this morning, COMPEL
ing Rev. Father John Prendergast, as
sistant pastor, to keep his face to the
wall, while they ransacked the place.
The robbers secured $50 in money, q
set of silver tableware, gold and silver
chalice, a watch and a pistol, and es-
capped.
Prendergast and the housekeeper
We're the only persons in the parson-
age. The fact was apparently known
by the robbers, who, although the
priest shouted Justify for help, went
about their work coolly, taking two
hours in which to complete the job.
The robbers summoned Father Prem
dergast to the door on the plea of a
sick call Realizing the Situa ton, the
priest slammed the door in their faces.
Then, throwing their bodies against
the door, they almost succeeded in
breaking it down, when Prendergast
gave in and opened it, While one man
covered him With his revolver, the 9TH
er leisurely searched for valuables.
Each room was gone through systemat-
ically, the robbers finally escaping after
locking the priest in his room.

GOVERNOR OTERO'S REPORT.
INCREASE IN THE POPULATION
OF NEW MEXICO.
He Dwe1Is on the Agricultural and
Mineral Development and Ad-
vocates Statehood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The Sec
rotary of the Interior has received the
annual report of Governor Otero of
New Mexico. The Governor says the
population Of the Territory has in
creased by 100000 since the census of
1890, and adds that it is capable of
supporting 100000 people.
The Governor dwells with special en-
phasis upon the mineral and agrlcul-
tural resources of the territory. He
says that fruit growing is progressing
rapidly and that II 100000 pounds of
wool was grown last year. He states
that the culture of the sugar beet is
making rapid Roadway in all parts OF
the territory, but especially in the
Pecos Valley, where the culture has
become we'll established.
A sugar factory has been established
at Eddy and the Governor makes the
prediction that this will soon be known
as a sugar beet center. He says, how
ever, that experiments demonstrate
that the entire Rio Grande Valley from
Colorado to Texas is equally well
adapted to the culture of the beet; that
the entire frrigable land in the terri
tory may thus be used. The cultiva-
ton &C canaigre for tanning purposes
is also growing to be an important in
dustry. The Governor calls attention
to the fact that New Mexico is q gold
bearing country and says that within
the past few years there has been
great renewal of activity in the mines.
Several districts, he says. have
been found and new placer beds have
been worked by new men who have
taken out thousands of dollars" and
he adds:
Information which is reliable from
gold camps through the territory
strengthen the hope that New Mexico
will soon reap the benefit of a genu-
inc mining boom. Never has there
been such interest since the advent of
the railroads in the mineral develop
ment CT the territory, especially near
the Colorado line
Governor Otero says there are 1,00O,-
coo sheep in the territory; that fully
10000 of the people are supported by
the wool industry and that last year
was the most advantageous ever known
in the business. He predicts large
growth in the industry.
The Governor takes strong ground in
favor of Statehood, claiming the peo-
pie to be entirely capable of self-gov-
ernment He argues that admission
into the Union would be beneficial alike
to the State and the United States.

WRECK AT ST. LOUIS.
An Incoming Train Crashed Into
an Outgoing One.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia collision oc-
Cured near the Union station this
morning between the outgoing Wabash
passenger train and an incoming St
Louis, Kansas City and Colorado pas
senger thain The injured: Charles
Williams Moberly, conductor; Mrs. A.
I. Davis and child, Lowrey City, Mo;
Mamie Hummel, st. Louis; Jacob
Hummel, St. Louis.
The Wabash train was just entering a
switch from the main track. when the
Colorado train, which had the right of
way. came rushing along at thirty
mile an hour gait. The engineer of the
latter train. seeing an accident was
imminent, shut off steam and applied
the air breaks, but they failed to work.
and the next moment the Wabash en-
CINE was thrown from the track, over
turned and partly demolished Conduc-
tor Charles Williams received serious
injuries. Several others received
bruises and a shaking up.

DESPICABLE BUSINESS.
Continued Attacks Made on the
Folsom Wheelway.

The Capital City Wheelmen's Wheel
way Committee had some miles of the
Folsom path sprinkled on Satur-
day, and yesterday large numbers of
cyclists went out for a days run and
outing in the free air of the country.
Alas for human hopesi They mostly
fell short of their expectations Near
Mayhew's Station some despicable per
son had literally sprinkled tacks. In
some places straw had been loosely
scattered across the wheelway, and be-
meath these places the most tacks were
planted. The result was that there was
a large number of punctured tires and
some of the riders had to walk home,
so badly were their wheels injured
Besides this, it was found that some
people have been using the wheelway
just beyond Mayhew's for a wagon
road, greatly TO its injury. This has
been done without any reason what
ever, as the county road near by is
better for wagons, while to turn out
and take to the wheelway. pulling up
posts. etc, is to go to considerable
trouble.
The Wheelway Committee will meet
this evening and take action in the

onding the efforts of the Sun TO dis
courage the building of free wagon
road out of Yosemite on the Nevada
side, before such a road is built on the
California side. The Mali yesterday
reprinted an article published a few
days ago in the Sun on this subject,
and commented on it as follows:
This reasoning seems f1awless. we
think the Sun is right. A free high
way opened into the Yosemite Valley
from the Nevada side before California
has such a road would certainly oil
vert from the State much valuable
travel Our claims are in every way
superior to any Nevada can advance
We want our road built first, and the
desire is fair and popular.
