not only had the operator Of Tower NV"
been bound and gagged, but the con-
ductor, engineer and fireman of the
train had been tied securely to
the express car, the robbers thus
preventing immediate pursuit. The
trainmen were only able to give
the railroad officials the direction
the robbers had taken in making their
escape. Shortly after the officials ar

Lord Kitchener's Enthusiastic Praise.

Lord Kitchener's Enthusiastic Praise.
The Atbara bridge, which has been
built in the heart of the Sudanese
country by 1, Philadelphia firm, after q
sharp competition with English bridge
builders, has just been formally opened
to traffic. Nc public work in recent
years. has attracted so much attention
as this bridge. not because it was an
especially difficult engineering feat, but
mainly because Americans located SO
far from the Atbara river should be
able to construct an elaborate iron
bridge over the stream more quickly
and cheaply than the British manufac-
turers, who had the distinct advantage
Of operating in British territory.
On the occasion of the opening of the
bridge Lord Kitchener complimented
the American bridge builders in the
warmest terms, as well he might. for
their "energy,' liability and ''grit. "
The Philadelphia firm was able to finish
the bridge so quickly because they had
many Of the parts made up in advance,
and the principal part of the work was
in transporting these sections to the
Sudan and putting them together. That
is the way Americans do business.
Thus the bridge was finished on time,
and everybody is happy except, of
course, our English cousins who did not
get the contract and, what is probably
more humiliating, are now obliged to
hear Lord Kitchener's unstinted praise
Of their American competitors.

Clever smugglers of either sex can con-
