The only excuse that some Of the weak.

The recent sharp competition between
the New York Central and the West

much surprise and some amusement on
the view Of the recent consolidation Of
the Vanderbilt railroad interests The
West Shore is practically owned by the
New York central and yet for several
weeks II has been taking dollars out Of

bidding for contracts for Transporting

A HoLDUP ON THE p. & q.
Four Men Go Through the Express Car of the South Bound Passenger
 Last Night.

As the passenger train on the Kan sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, which left Kansas City last night at 7:3o and ar rived at Mena at 11:15 this morning, was at crossing three miles out of Kansas City, it was stopped and held about seventeen minutes while two men in the express car gagged and bound the messenger.
 The porter of the chair car being anxious to learn the cause of the de- lay. went forward to the express car, but being met by gun being thrust in his face, he retreated and gave the alarm. The robbers in the car then jumped out by the side door being protected by two others, all unmasked but heavily armed, and made their escape.
 We are unable to learn whether they secure ed any booty or not but none others on the train were molested.

The Right Man in the Rlght Place.

An accident occurred at the Metho- dist church Sunday night which inter- rupted services and caused some little excitement. The long stove pipe came apart and as there was a big fire in the stove at the time the sparks. flew out thick and fast, causing little danger of setting the building on fire. A ladder was secured and several men held it while Jim Sneed, of Sneed S Jones hardware store, went up and accomplished the task of put ting together an almost red hot stove pipe. Considering tue surroundings it is perhaps fortunate that a man ac- customed to putting up stoves under took the work.
