Engines Which Pull Heavy Trains Across
Nebraska rlP;ns
Ten powerful locomotives for passen-
ger service have been added to the
equipment of the Burlington lines in
Nebraska. They were built at the Bald
win locomotive works from the designs
furnished by the Burlington. The big
machines have already made some rec
ords pulling heavy trains across the Ne
braska plains. Some Of the dimensions
are of uncommon interest, The driving
wheels are six feet in diameter. The
tender carries ten tons of coal, and has
a water capacity Of 5000 gallons. The
weight of engine and tender is a43, 800
pounds. The cab is arranged to give the
engineer the best possible chance to
work. The levers are within easy
reach of his seat, while the right side
of the boiler has been stripped of ma
chinery in order to give the engineer a
chance to look ahead without having his
vision blurred by escaping steam,

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use without
Failure.
The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness, and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as sure sign of the
approach of an attack. Following this
hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
lard and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single instance in which it has not
proved effectual. No other preparation
can show such record-twenty five
years constant use without failure.

MISSOURI BANKERS MEET.
President Thomas Spoke Hopefully OF the

Wild-C Cat Banking Is Impossible.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-The ninth
annual convention Of the Missouri
Bankers association met yesterday for
a two-days' session in this city. About
200 delegates, representing all the
principal towns and cities in the state,
were present when President }. b.
Thomas, of Albany, called the meeting
to order. In his annual address Mr..
Thomas referred to the splendid imam
cial condition of Missouri enterprises
and urged closer relationship between
the bankers and the people. lie
thought that the era of prejudice and
Misrepresentation of legitimate bust
ness enterprises was at an end. Radl-
calism and pessimism. he said, mad

ress. With the masses properly in
formed and enlightened, he thought,
there was no further need for alarm
from the cheap agitation of fanatics
and cranks. The report OF the secre-
tary showed membership in the asso-
citation of 4O5, and hourishing tinan-
cial condition. Judge Noah M. Given,
of Harrisonville, followed with pre-
sentation of the 1.-THE Bankruptcy
Law" The feature Of the afternoon
was the report Of J. P. Huston, OF
Marshall, chairman of the legislative
committee. He reviewed the revised
banking law extensively and gave 1t as
his opinion that Missouri now has the
best banking laws Of any state in the
union. He said there was little or nc
opportunity for wildcat" banking un
der the new law, since the secretary OF
state must, before granting charter
carefully examine the status OF thu
proposed banking concern.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
A Man Kills His Wife and Three
Children and Then Suicides.
HORRIBLE DISCOVERY OF Two BOYS
A Bloody Claw Hammer Found m the
Floor The Murdered wife and Chill
dren In Bed In Their Night
Clothes.

Joplin, Mo-, May 26.-Joplin was the
scene of an awful tragedy Tuesday
night, but the discovery was not made
until noon yesterday, when two boys
in passing one of the many tents in the
eastern outskirts of town noticed
most offensive smell and saw great
swarms Of flies in the tent Approach
ing nearer they saw dead man lying
upon the floor with a revolver in
his right hand. On a bed nearby
was the body of woman with
her skull crushed in by some
blunt instrument, and on another
bed were the dead bodies of
boy of about 70 and girl of about ten
years of age, their heads also being
crushed. A bloody claw hammer on
the floor told the story of their death.
Hurrying out Of the tent, the boys al
most stumbled over more horrible OBJ
ject the headless body of a little girl
of about four years of age. The head
was close to the body, almost under one
of the child's arms. This tragedy was
reported to the police and an investiga-
ton followed.
Persons living in tent 100 yards
from the scene of the tragedy heard a
woman scream and a shot fired about
IL o'clock Tuesday night, but thought
nothing further about it. Judging
from the appearance and condition OF
the bodies the tragedy occurred about
that time. The family consisted Of
James Edwin Moss, Mrs. Ida l.. Moss,
his wife; Cloyd Moss, Beulah Moss and
Laura Moss, his children. The father,
it is believed, murdered his family
while in fit Of dependency and then
killed himself. Moss was a barber by
trade and formerly lived in lndepend-
ence, Mo-, and later in Nevada, Mo-,
whence he moved to Joplin six weeks
ago and, being unable to find a vacant
house, lived in tent. He worked at
the mines, but aside from that but lit
lie was known of the family.
The general appearance Of things in
the tent indicates that Mrs. Moss was
a lady of refinement and an excellent
housekeeper. Two of Tom Paine's
works, "The Age Of Reason" and "rhe
Rights of Man, " found in the tent, lead
to the belief that Moss was an admirer
of Paine, for the books show signs OF
handling. A Sl,OOOpolicy in lndepend-
pnce camp, No. ~, Woodmen of the
World, was among Moss papers and 0
note signed by Moss was found on th'
floor, saying. There were no truel
wife or lovelier children than mine.'
The murdered wife and children wert
in bed in their night clothes wher
killed and the pillows and bed clothes
were stiff with dried blood Moss sho
himself in the right temple with a 40
caliber pistol, the bullet passed through
his head and coming out behind TIN
left ear. The youngest child's hea'
had been cut off with a razor and thu
job had probably been done quickly
; but the first stroke had doubles
missed its mark, for the child had beel
,calpcd as well as decaptated.
