NEW DISHES FOR COMPANY E.

A movement instituted by Capt. d. r.
Bisbce, who has just returned from
Camp Olympia. is on foot to to raise
enough r,oney by subscription to pur-
chase new agate plates, cups and bags
to keep them in for ihf use of the
boys Of the Barre company Capt. Bis
bee reports thrt the Tin plates now used
by the boys are very dangerous to their
health, as the tin is easily scraped from
the plate in cutting meat and becomes
mixed with the food. The tin is very
poisonous. The plan is to have the la
dies of the city meet early.next week
and make the bags. 1t will cost $25
to buy the plates and cups and material
for the bags so that if 25 persons can
be found who will give 81 each, the
good work will be accomplished and
perhaps thereby the good health of our
Barre boys at the front can be preserved.

On the Corner.

All the afternoon the boss" looked
for PLACE where this aggregation OF
"kickcrs" could hold their regular
meeting. The Inspector followed on,
anxious TO be on hand if any important
matters were under debate. During the
several hours that the "Chlef Cook "
was looking for place, he tried to dodge
the INSPECTOR, but 81 have been on earth
a few days and with the Nd OF good
wheel | made quick time. Ihe flrst
application made by the Boss for a meet
inc place was at the engine house OF the
Barre Railroad company, but too many
tramps have already asked the workmen
for lodging, and so the Boss moved on:
The next stop was in the rear OF Fred
Slayton's sable, but Fred thought MS
horses ought to have little sleep ana
SO he refused to allow the noisy hood
lums to pitch tents in his back yard.
Almost ready to give up the task. the
Ross decided to board the police and
meet on the Corner once more, II every
offender was put in the cage for 1t, ana
so in spite of the orders of "Ihe Cops
this famous club of kickers held an all
nirht session near the Corner, whlle
your m Inspector occupied his old position
on tine platform of the telephone pole.
As the leading question in the city at
the present time is the location
of the proposed new school
house. of course the Kickers could not
refrain from settling the question. "Lo-
cate the school house down on the Bacon
place. why of course that is the place to
mt the new thing, ,"said one old lounger
who still trades any kind OF merchah-
disc for a living. Another OF the same
typc agreed that the place for the ne"
school house was on the Bacon place
but thnn came the crowd from the west
side Of the river. and they certainly
would have made ..Rome howl with
their lightning oratons which they
shot off in much the same fashion us
roman candles are lighted at Fourth
of july celebration. The manner III
which they delivered their protests
would have done credit to II Henry or
Douglass. "Why put that school house
in that one sided section?" cried one
havsecd from the west side. owe have
more children to educate on the wes
side and that is the place for the school
house" But the boys were not able te
settle the question of location and SO the
Question is still to be or not he solved

A TRAIN HELD UP.
ROBBERS GO THROUGH AN EX-
PRESS CAR.
Little of Value is Said to Have Been
Taken-Occurred Near Kan
sas City.

Kansas City, No, Sept. 24.-The
Colorado and Coffeyyille express train
on the Missouri Pacific, which left
Kansas City at 9:15 last night, was
held up by robbers near Leeds, a
suburban station six miles out from
the union depot. The locomotive and
baggage car were detached from the
train and taken down the track to-
ward Dodson, after which the robbers
shattered the Pacific Express COM
pany's car with dynamite. The Of
ficials Of the express company state
that the safe contained little treasure,
as the messenger carried nothing des-
tined for points beyond Co1feyvllle,
kaS.
The explosion of dynamite used by
the robbers was heard by many per-
sons in the southeastern part of Kan
sas City. Flying debris from the
shattered car carried down the tele-
graph wires along the Frisco track
which parallels the Missouri Pacific
at that point. The robbers commit
ting the hold up, entered the Frisco
Sldllou dt - uell llue, just eaSe Va
Leeds, and overpowered the operator.
After smashing the instruments in
his office they took the operator with
them to the scene of the robbery. 1t
is reported that the robbers wrecked
the locomotive after running it al
most to Dodson, but the report can
not be confirmed. Supt. Moore, of
the Pacific Express company. insists
that the train carried very little
treasure, but others familiar with the
company's business doubt his state
ment.

Santiago, Sept. 24.-To residents Of
Santiago Thursday was the most i'm
portant day since the capitulation, be-
ing the occasion of the first visit OF
Gen. Calixto Garcia since he left in a
bad temper July II. Early in the
morning, Gen. Wood with portion OF
Gen. Lawton's staff and several Amer
lean officers, met Gen. Garcia outside
the city limits and escorted him into
the town. Garcia was accompanied by
his staff, by his son, Col. Calixto Gar
cha, and many Cuban officers who had
recently come to Santiago, and by
200 Cuban cavalry. The streets,
through which the party passed, were
thronged with cheering people. Gar
cha was met at the door of the palace
by Gen. Lawton and an informal re-
ception by the American officers was
held in the reception room. At night
another reception was rendered Gen.
Garcia at the San Carlos club, which
was filled with prominent Cubans,
American officers and ladies. In re-
ply to a speech of welcome, Gen. Gar
cha said:
After thirty years of desperate,
deadly struggle, the Cuban people to-
day celebrate the success of their
efforts. 1t is a day for the remem-
brance of the names and deeds of
those heroes who fought and died for
the freedom of Cuba from the years
1868 to 1878 and for the remembrance
OF the heroes who fought in the war
in 1888 and for the remembrance of
those noble soldiers who fell in the
struggle which began in 1895. Peo-
pie of Cuba we owe a great debt to
those heroes for their efforts in be-
half of Cuban independence, efforts
which would have not been speedily
effective, if the American people, that
colossal republic, with its famous
fighters, great ships and dauntless
army, had not sent it's own sons to
shed their blood with ours. A grand
nation it must be, when sons of mil
lionaires, who had nothing to gain in
Cuba but a soldiers glory, should
come here to die side by side with the
Cubans. To this great nation-to
this noble country which has always
fought for rights-we owe the
achievement of our independence and
the contamination of our ideals. Our
gratitude will long live for America"
Garcia's speech aroused much en-
thuslasm among the Cubans present.
