MILFORD Woodruff, speaking at the
Mormon conference yesterday, said:
"The day has come when the mouths
of Wilford Woodruff, George O. Can

apostles should not be closed. God
Almighty requires you to unite in
your temple work and unite in your
politics. You should unite to elect

which Mrs. Lydia Bradley gave So, 500

New YORK, Oct. 0.-Bradstreet's
says: Distribution of general mer-
chandise in the Central West and
Northwest is further checked owing
to the prolonged drouth in Kentucky,
Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska,
Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakatas
Telegraphic advices to Bradstreet's
report serious damage in Kansas and
parts of Nebraska and Iowa, where
early planted wheat is up, but that
planted later is not likely to sprout.
Fall plowing is now impossible. Six
weeks without rrin have dried up pas
lures and compelled farmers to
feed stock. Manufacturing industries
throughout the West, particularly
iron and steel, continue active, and
there is an increasing tendency on. the
part of the interior merchants to re-
NIT promptly While the volume of
trade has decreased at Chicago, it is
ahead of the like record in recent
years. There is moderate improve
ment of business in the South, Ala
bama having raised the quarantine
against Georgia cities, and Central
and Northern Texas points having
resumed commercial relations with
Galveston. Planters continue to hold
cotton, which delays collections.

WEYLER rs REMOVED.
RECALLED FROM COMMAND
IN CUBA.
General BIanco His Successor
Thousand Moro Troops to BE Sent to
Cuba-weyler Denies That He In
tends to Join the CarIists.

MADRID, Oct. 0.-The cabinet has
decided upon the immediate recall OF
General Weyler from Cuba. A decree
will be issued appointing Captain Gen
eral Blanco Arenas, marquis of
Pena- Plata, governor general of the
island. The queen regent will sign
the decree to-day.
General Blanco will be accompanied
by General Arderine as vice governor
of Cuba, by General Gonzalo Painals,
as chief of staff, and Generals Spando,
Bernal and Cannalou.
According to El Heraldo, 10000 re-
Inducements will accompany General
Blanco to Cuba.
In the course of the cable message
sent by Captain General Weyler to
Pre- mier Sagasta, placing his post in
Cuba at the disposal of the govern
ment, he said
''If the functions with which they
had intrusted me had been merely
those of governor general of Cuba, L
should have FASTENED to resign; but
the twofold character of my mission,
and my duty as commander-i chief in
the face of the enemy, prevent my
rendering a resignation.
Nevertheless, although 1 can rely
upon the absolute, unconditional sup
port of the Autonomist and Constitu-
tional parties, as well as upon public
opinion, this would be insufficient
without the confidence of the govern
ment. This confidence would be
necessary to enable me to put an end
to the war which has already been
virtually concluded from our lines at
Juraco to Cape Antonio.
Senor Sagasta replied:
II thaul< you for your explanation
and value your frankness. l wish to
assure you that the government re-
cognizes your services and values
them as they deserve; but it thinks
a change of policy, in order to sue
ceed, requires that the authorities
should be at one with the ministry
This has nothing to do with the con-
fidence felt in you by the government,
for the Liberals have always said that
the responsibility for a given policy
does not fall upon those who carry it
out, but upon the government inspir-
ing it. l shall communicate your COM
munication to the gov ern ment short
ly"
Captain General Ramon Blanco V
Arenas who will succeed Captain Gen
eral Valerano Weyler as governor gem
eral of Cuba, has had his chief admin
istrative experience in the Philippine
Islands. He has been described as the
''softest hearted soldier of Spain"
and his whole career indicates his dis
position to employ mild rather than
violent measures.
HAVANA, Oct. 9-General Weyler
gave to-day an emphatic and absolute
denial to the reports that he would
resist removal from his command in
Cuba, and in certain contingencies
might espouse the Carlist cause. He
said, according to the official account:
my principles and my military rec
ord are firm guarantees that will
never oppose the constituted govern
ment, whatever it may be- l never
have put obstacles in the way of the
government, and l never shall. So far
as popular demonstrations go, accept
them only as expressions of approval
of my military policy and as tokens of
personal sympathy"

A TRAIN ROBBERY.
CHICAGO & ALTON AGAIN
HELD UP.

Eight Masked Men DO tho Job Almost
In the City Limits OF Kansas City
Very Little Money Secured-Train Men
Robbed but, Passengers not Molested.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Oct. S.-The fast
train on the Chicago Sc Alton, which
left the Union depot at $3.50 last night,
was held up by a gang of eight
masked robbers at the crossing just
opposite Washington park, twenty
minutes later. The bandits got little
for their pains, for they failed IN an
attempt to blow open the express safe,
and secured only few dollars from
the trainmen. The passengers were
not molested The train was delayed
nearly two hours, and then proceeded
on its journey
The train was stopped by torpedoes
placed on the track. AS soon as it
came to standstill the conductor
and brahemen stepped off to see what
the trouble was, and were immedl
ately covered by guns. One of the
robbers went through Conductor
Groves, securing $22. The trainmen
were then compelled to uncouple the
express car, the engineer and fireman
called down from the cab, shot be-
ing fired at the engineer because
he was slow in. obeying, and
the robbers ran the engine and
express car about quarter Of a mile
up the track. Here the express mes
senger was induced to open his car
door and an attempt was made to get
him to open the safe also He in
formed the bandits that the safe was
a through one and that he had nokeys
for it, whereupon he was seized by
the legs, pulled from the train, robbed
of his gun and $3l in money, and or
dered to so back to the rest of the
train.
The robbers then placed twenty
four sticks of dynamite on top of the
safe and lighted the fuse, which
proved to be defective and failed to
ignite the dynamite. Before the fuse
could be repaired and relighted the
robbers became frightened and fled.

The Chanute times., 1897-10-15

Eve heard a discussion lately as tC
who should keep the purse in the mar
rlage partnership. Now it would seem
that in that kind of firm there ought
to be fair division. 1t may be that
both are adding to the eXchequer, but
whether one or both, they should freely
share their united income. Woman
kind says that if statistics were taken
ION the subject, only about one man in
q thousand would be found just enough
to give his wife separate purse. III
she is proud woman, she will suffer
cruel deprivation rather than put her
self in the position Of a beggar for
aims"
Apropos of this. Eve has heard a
little story that belongs right in New
Orleans. A young couple after the
wedding had settled down to board
with the brides parents. The girl had
been provided with very ample trous-
seau, and her husband paid board and
laundry bills very promptly, so that
several months passed before her
mother noticed a very painful en-
lbarrassment about her daughter. Pin
money from papa having ceased, she
never had nickel for car fare or the
plate in church, for thread, or any
thing, her mother supplying all this
when they went out together. At last
lone day the mothers purse ran short,
and she said: Fannie, haven't you
some changer" "Not cent" gulping
down sob. Hasn't Ingram given you
any money at all? "Never." well,
you must ask him; he may be one Of
those men who don't think of such
,things-having a wife is new to him.
Say you need little coin"
Fannie had made an engagement to
go out with friend next morning, and
the friend called just as breakfast was
over. This was her best chance,
thought Fannie, so running back from
the parlor door to where her husband
was getting his hat, Fannie said, blush
ing furiously: ooh, Ingram, 1 shall
need some money for car fare" Ger
tainly," putting his hand in his vest
pocket" and you may need glass
of soda, too" He took out 10 cents
and handed it to her, graciously. The
future career of that couple may be
clearly prophesied.
