White lead the bunch the first lap about
fifty yards, but was overtaken on the next.
On the last lap, Mott made another sprint
from the third mile post and as before
could not sustain it. With rafting finish,
Daugherty, the game St. Louis boy, with
a swift sprint on the last eighth led over
the tape and finished winner in s:01. He
was followed in order by Lawson, Wing.
McKeon, White. Ritchey, Mott and
Vaughn.
The meet was not the success it should
have been, but it demonstrated TO the
wheel enthusiasts that a bicycle track is
a necessary adjunct to a good meet. The
people went to see the riders go past the
stand more times than they do on mile
track, and it is impossible 10 make good
bike track out of one used by horses.

FRISCO IS HELD UP
Two Masked Men Board the
Train at Andover.
THEY SHOT ONE MAN
Didn't Modest Passengers But
Robbed Express Car.

The Frisco passenger train which leaves
here for the east al $40. was held up at
Andover. a little flag station ten miles
east Of here, by TWO masked men last
night.
The robbery was committed right IN the
town AS soon as the train pulled In
and stopped the two men boarded the ex-
press car and demanded the combination
to the safe. 1t happened TO be open. but
the messeng Immediately drew his re-
volver; but before ne mad time to do
good work with 1t one Of the men grabbed
him and disarmed him. They then told
him that II he uttered cry or attempted
TO give them away they would kill him.
The robbers rifed the safe and got some
where between 800 and $500.
The men did not attempt to go through
the coaches Of the Pullman car. After
finishing their work in the express car
they got out and started for their horses
which were hitched near the depot A
man whose name could not be learned
last night attempted to stop them IN
armed, having seen them jump out Of
the express car with their masks on. For
interfering with them one of the men shot
him 1t is not known how badly he was
injured, but it is not thought TO be seri-
Gus. Fuller details of the hold-up could
not be learned last night AS the tele-
graph operator had left for the night af-
ter notifying the officials. The men got
on their horses and drove south after
having shot the man who tried TO stop
them. The express messenger said that
one Of the men was short and stocky and
the other was tall, spare but muscular.
The latter wore a mustache.
Superintendent Carl Grey was notified
at Neodesha and he wired every point to
be on the lookout for the men. From
the manner in which the work was done
it is supposed that 1t was the work OF
amateurs who probably live in the neigh
borhood
Deputy Sheriff Syl DunNn said last
night that from the description given that
the men who held the Frisco up were the
same two who had robbed the postoffce
in broad day light at Crystal Springs and
at Danville. Kansas. Their horses, guns
and description are exactly the same. The
officers are in hot pursuit and 1t is prob
able that they will be caught within TWEEN
ty-four hours.

DEVIL OWNS THIS LAND.
II Was Decided and wiIIed 20 His sa-
tnnic Majesty, and FfnIand's
Laws Protect HiHA

There is only one spot on the earth's
surface that has actually been willed
decided and bequeathed to his Satanic
majesty. This spot lies AZ miles south
of Helsingfors, Finland.
A few years ago Lara Huilariene
died in the little town of Pielisjarvi,
in the above-named country. leaving
considerable property IN the shape Of
landed estates. How he had come into
possession OF so much land no one
seemed TO know, but, as he was very
bad citizen, 1t was generally admitted
that he was in league with Wintahausa
(Satan), and that they had many
business deals with each other.
This somewhat startling opinion was
verified when old Huilariene found a
certified warranty deedinclosed there
In. which decided to Satan all his earth
~ possessions. The will was to the
same effect.
The family have repeatedly tried TO
break the viii. but, so far, have been
unsuccessful; thus, the records plain
ly show that his sulphurio majesty
has a legal right and title to some
excellent grounds In the near vicinity
Of Heisingfors.
The simple people OF the neighbor-
hood have changed the course of the
road which formerly skirted the Hui
lariene homestead, and declare that
they would not enter the possessions
OF Satan & Co. for all the money that
the three estates would bring.-Pear-

TILE ANVIL BIRD.

At dusk in the wilds Of the gloomy
Brazilian forest, you win think 1t
strange TO hear the clink Of a hammer
on an anvil. You would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement
and the picture Of the ruddy glow oi
the forge would come before your eyes.
But if your guide were native, he
would tel you that the sound was
made by a campanero, as they call II
although to foreigners 1t is known as
the anvil bird.
This bird is a little larger than q
thrush. The plumage is perfectly
white; the eyes are OF pale gray color
and the naked throat ana skin arounC
the eyes are Of fine bright green
while its more northerly relative is or
ange and back. very much like oui
OriOle.
It is generally in the early part o
the day that the campanero sends fortl
the wonderful note that can be heaTt
at a distance OF three miles. Marveloui
indeed must be the mechanism CT th'
vocal organs of so small a bird to pro
duce so far-reaching note; but Their
is no doubt of the fact. for many trav
elers have heard the strange sound ut
tered by the bird when perched on tn
topmost branch OF some withered tree
