Men Captured at St. Joe Wanted For
Safe Cracking In Iowa.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 27.-The hopes of
the local police received dash of cold
water today when word from St. Joseph
was received that the three men, James
Morgan, John Ryan and James Nc
Hear, arrested in that city last night,
were not the desired Missouri Pacific
train robbers, but band of safe crack
ers from Iowa who had just made sue
cessful raid in that state. The men
when arrested had in their possession
several hundred dollars worth of pow
der-burned money which the police
quickly stamped as coming from tt
Pacific express company's safe, blown
to pieces with dynamite near Dawson
on Friday night last. The statement
that the men were Iowa safe robbers
was made by local detective who went
to st. Joe last night and saw the sus-
poets this morning.
1t seems positive they had nothing to
do with that hold-up, but secured their
money in the robbery of the Botna Val
ley State bank at Glenwood, Ia, on the
21st inst, when that institution was
robbed of over 5000 in currency.

Shaw stated positively yesterday after
noon that no extra session of the general
assembly will be called to allow Iowa
soldiers still in service outside of the

A JOKE ON THE Transfer.
He Roughly Ordered General Sherman to
Brush His Mules.

Brush His Mules.
A good story is told of one of General
Sherman's Missouri teamsters. He had
just joined the service, raw recruit,
and was assigned the task of driving q
six mule team. When the army halted
for the first night, he was YEARLY I'M
Harvesting his team.
"Hello there, said the wag Of the
company in passing. "What do you
mean by taking care of those mules
yourself? Why don't you have the
hostler do it?'
"Why, thought every man had to
take care of his own team" said the
bewildered teamster.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got q
hostler for that. There's his tent right
over there. He's q lazy, contrary old
cuss, and he may not want to do it, but
you swear at him and he'll move off at
double quick"
The Missourian strobe over to the
tent indicated, which happened to be
General Sherman's headquarters.
Here, you son of gum" he roared
fiercely, "get out Of here and brush
those mules.
Needless to say, the teamster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was as
signed to the duty of team!ng, probably
by mistake. The roads were muddy,
and the rest of the transfers were lit
orally bombarding their charges with
oaths. 1t was against the old man $
principles to swear, and he held his
peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last
one of the hind mules baked and re-
fused to advance step. The old man
used every endeavor to urge the beast
along, but to no purpose. At last he
roared in o loud and solemn voice:
"Oh, Lord, you know where this mule
ought to be as well as anybody. This
whole army knows where he ought TO
be this minute. He knows where he
ought to be. know where he ought to
be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn't move in
a minute intend to say so, by gum.

CAR BLOWN TO ATOMS
TRAIN ROBBERS NEAR KANSAS CITY
GET LITTLE BOOTY.

Local and Through Safes Wrecked by a
graphic Communication Cut OFF to Pre-
vent Interference.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 24.-Seven masked
men held up the west-bound Missouri
Pacific passenger train, known as the
Little Rock and Wichita express, at a
point in the woods between Leeds and
Dawson. seven miles from Kansas City,
last night. To prevent interference,
they first smashed the telegraph instru-
ments at the Belt line station and
marched Operator Hisey before them to
point half mile east. While two
men covered Hisey, the others tagged
the train as it approached. quickly COW
cred Engineer Slocum and Fireman
Weston and compelled them to dis
mount, and detaChing the engine and
the Pacific express car, ran them down
the track mile and half toward Daw-
son. The passengers were unmolested,
but the porter, who attempted to inter
fere, was quickly sent to cover by shot
directed by one Of the roadmen. At a
desolate spot up the road, the baggage
car was quickly broken into, great
quantities of dynamite placed upon the
through safe, and the local safe placed
on top of it. So much explosive was
used that the car was literally blown to
splinters and the safes thrown way to one
side of the track. This morning moth
ing but fragments of the local safe
could be found, and the through box
was wreck, the top having been blown
off and the door wrenched and other
wise damaged. The explosion, which
was of such force as to have been heard
distinctly in Kansas City, undoubtedly
destroyed any valuables in the safe, and
that the robbers themselves We're not
blown to atoms seems strange, so ter
rife was the blast. The express officials
examined their one remaining strong
box this morning. They absolutely re-
fused to make a statement of their loss,
saying simply that it was small"
Flying debris from the shattered ex.
press car carried down the telegraph
wires along the Frisco track, which
parallels the Missouri Pacific at the point
of the robbery and completed the stop
page of Geographic communication be-
gun at the Belt line station. 1t was,
therefore, some time before the news of
the robbery became known and still
longer before wrecking crew could be
gotten. A new engine had to be Sc
cured as that the road men used had been
"killed." 1t was $3.50 this morning be-
fore the wrecked baggage and express
matter, strewn in all directions, was
gathered together, the train made up
and the trip south continued. The ex-
press matter, in many instances totally
destroyed, was taken to Osawatomie.
Much excitement prevailed among the
passengers during their long wait in the
detached cars, though but little firing
was INDUCED in by the robbers. Tho
robbery was undoubtedly one of the
boldest that has ever been committed in
this locality, so noted for hold-ups.

Newton Murder Mystery.

NEWTON, Ia, Sept. 23.-Newton' s
murder mystery deepens and is the talk
of the town. George Carter, a barber
was found dead in ditch in North
Newton Saturday. The coroner's jury,
after two days session, has adjourned
till next Monday. An examination of
the dead mans skull reveals the fact
that he was sand-bagged, although the
jury does not know where to lay the
the crime as yet. At Carter's funeral
John Lemme, one of the pail bearers,
was arrested and taken to Jail, he being
the last person seen with the deceased
Lemme was released, it being generally
believed he had no hand in the affair.

The sagacity Of the fox is most won

mouthful of moss and slowly walks
backward into the nearest stream until
only the mouth is left above the surface

refuge on the moss, and when the fox
is satisfied that they have all embarked
he opens his mouth, and the moss drifts
away, while the willy fox regains the

ASK THAT HOWELL BE PUNISHED.

They Consider the Captains Assault Upon
Merchant Larson Was Uncalled For.
Dies MONIES, Sept. 22.-Many promi-
nent signatures are being secured to
petition asking the reprimand by the
war department of Captain d. L. How
ell of the Seventh infantry, for the as
sault ON A. w. Larson, a prominent
clothier, in the Slavery house a few
days ago. On the strength of the fact
that Larson>had his wheel in the hotel
by sufferance of the management of the
house, that the brushing of mud on the
clothes of the army officer was purely
accidental, and in view of the additional
fact that the offense did not justify an
assault which brought $40 and costs in
the police court the next morning, the
petitioners believe they have Just
grounds for bringing the matter to the
war departments attention.

An Incident In the Grand Old Mans Ca
reer In the Commons.
If Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm. it was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed it in n high
degree-but because he forbore to use
it. To hurt an opponents feelings gave
him pain and when he did it uninten-
tionally he would sometimes cross the
floor of the house, and, sitting for few
moments by the side Of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound One of his most
persistent, but never i'll natured, critics
was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy,
who told me the following story to H.
lustrate this generous trait in Mr.. Glad.
stones character.
Sir John prided himself on his knowl-
edge of chemistry, and in one of the
debates on the commercial treaty with
France he made a speech exposing, as
he believed, serious chemical blunder
in the treaty. Mr.. Gladstone followed,
"and soon turned me inside out in the
most amusing manner, said Hennessy
in relating the story, proving, as if he
had been chemist by profession, that
it was who had Numbered egregious-
ly."
Having thus disposed of his critic,
Mr.. Gladstone went and sat by him for
moment Il hope You don t feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy." he said Your speech
was ingenious, and it may console you
to know that the emperor Of the French
made precisely the same objection that
you have made. The fact is, both you

istry, but not enough to keep you from
going astray. Canon McColl in Fort.
