A TRAIN HELD UP.
Little of Value is Said to Have Been
Taken-Occurred Near Kan
sas City.

! Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 24.-The
Colorado and Coffeyville 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
f1cials OF the express company state
that the safe contained little treasure,
as the messenger carried nothing des-
tined for points beyond ConeyvlIle,
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
station at the belt line, just east Of
Leeds, and overpowered the operator.
After smashing the instruments in
his office they took the operator with
them to the scene of the robbery. It
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.

He offered himself for the land he

But what shall we say of her?
He gave to his country soldiers life;
Twas dearer by far to the soldiers
wife.
All honor today to her!
He went to the war while his blood

But what shall we say of her?
He saw for himself, through the bat
ties flame,
A hero's reward on the scroll of fame;
What honor is due to her?
He offered himself, but his wife did
more,
But what shall we say of her?
For dearer than life was the gift she
gave,
Ir giving the life she would die to
save;
What honor is due to her?
He gave up his life at his country
call,
But what shall we say of her?
He offered himself as a sacrifice,
But she is the one who pays the price;
All honor we owe to her.

DANGER IN POSTAGE STAMPS.

One of the newest diseases is the
postage stamp tongue" The credit
of discovering it is due to London
physician. 1t appears that the muci-
lage itself is injurious, and that, fur

dunn for germs of the worst charac-

great care is not taken. Apart from
the specific disease of the tongue, any
contagious disease may be acquired
through the medium of mucilage.

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.

There was recent complaint from
the west that the growing use of
the long distance telephone was act
ing disastrously on the receipts of
the railroads. Other interests are
finding cause for worry for the same
reason. 1t is said in Boston that the
vocation of the commercial traveller
is fast being driven to the wall. The
country retailer can now order daily,
instead of awaiting the periodical
visit of the drummer" to learn
prices and other facts. This lessening
of the services of the drummer"
reflects disastrously upon the country
hotels. The city hotels also feel
the effect of the telephone. They
lost some patronage when the going
out of the drummer" lessened the
city visits of the country merchants,
and with the improvement of the tele-
phone, the rural dealer has even less
occasion to come to town.-New York

WHY ENGINE IS CALLED "SHE.'

The Locomotive Engineers Jour-
nal recently asked It's readers to eX-
plain why an engine was always
called "she" Among the answers re
turned we find the following:
while there is much to admire
about an engine, and while there are
many men literally carried away by
engines, the same as by women, it
takes a man to run them, on both
long and short runs; with engines as
with women, appearances do not
count for anything"
Because she is a 'darter' (daugh-
teri of Eve (evening)."
Anything that is called she is
not supposed to have any power or
control over other things. Thus, the
engine is called she
Because she works hardest when
she is sparkling
Because she represents power
not exactly seen, but felt throughout
all the world"
Because she is cranky and change
able and needs man to control
her.
Because both wear aprons"
Because you always know when
she is coming by the noise she
makes"

bishops will be required to act as
consecrators, and it is this number
which causes the Brazil convocation
to mention in the proposed concordat
that when there shall have been con-
secrated, in the future, three native
bishops, the Protestant Episcopal
church in Brazil shall become indie
pendent of the Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States. The
Brazilian request will probably be
granted, so that one of the incidents
Of the convention will probably be the
conservation of the first prelate of a
new church in the new world, with
almost the full membership of the
United States house of bishops acting
as consecrators. If apostolic success
sion be of prime Importance, there
will be no lack of it in the case Of

UPPER BERTH NUISANCE.

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature providing that upper
berths in sleeping cars shall not be
lowered unless occupied, under pen
atty of $50 for each violation. Tray
elers who pay good price for a lower
berth have a right to feel annoyed
when the upper berth is unoccupied
but left down through the whole
night. The obnoxious upper berth,
though unoccupied, interferes materi-
ally with the comfort and conven-
fence of the occupant of the lower
berth. Sleeping car companies know
this, and leave the berth down in
order to force people to pay an extra
price for the whole section so as to
do away with the annoyance.-Sy
