THE TRAIN ROBBER CITY.
Unenviable Reputation of Our Big
Neighbor at the Kaw's Mouth.

The Kansas City Star is provoked to
the following: The power and extent
of the old reliable Jackson county train
robbing gang becomes more manifest
every day. The services of the Crack
er-Neck alumni seem to be in demand
at widely distant points. 1t is quite
impossible for a train robbery to occur
anywhere within the limits of the
United States without former members
of the James gang being at least be
lieved'' to be in it. While there may be
some exaggeration as to the ON
niscience and omnipresence of our own
home crowd of train robbers, there can
be no doubt that circumstances have
given this home product of ours a
proud re-eminence. No other gang has
retained it's organization so long. Like
the king, it never dies; at least, it never
has died. AS fast as one old hero is
removed by some of the incidents or
accidents common to his arduous pro-
fession another rises up to take his
place.
in it's early days in this county that
it has never been found necessary to
remove its place of business except
during brief intervals, when the knight
of the road in the country became the
quail hunter of the city. No other
gang of train robbers, it may be said,
has ever built up such local and gem
eral reputation, and certainly no other
has ever accumulated such a line of
favorable notices from the home press.
All these circumstances have combined
to make train robbers bearing the labeI
MADE in Jackson county, U. ). A., so
famous that it is no wonder that, on the
announcement of the Macomb robbery
on the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Mem
phiS road, it was at once suspected that
a Jackson county hero had given the
affair the benefit of his knowledge and
experience; nor that this suspicion has
grown in the minds of the Pinkertons
till they have offered a reward for John
Kennedy, who, released from Jail on the
LIST of December, might have responded
to a professional call in Wright county,
Mo-, on the Sd of January. This suspi-
Mr. Kennedy may prove the customary
alibi, but the entire chain of circum-
stances shows the results, if not the re-
wards, of fame. Jackson county is I'M
d0uhtedlY famous.

A Small Boy Who Has Been
Vigorously Coached.
ONLY 5 YEARS OF AGE.
Burden of His Argument Was
for Contributions.
Colored People Of Georgia Call
Him Their Christ.

New York, Jan. 11.-There was an ex-
citing scene an Mount Olivet (colored)
Baptist church Sunday afternoon, when
Larney Laurence Dennis, the 5-year-old
negro evangelist, so-called, from Allan
ia, Ga, made his metropolitan debut
This infantile preacher has attracted
much attention in the south. No small
degree of spiritual glamor has been
thrown around him by the fact that he
was born on Christmas day, 1898, and
the colored people Of Dixie call him
their Christ His father is c. G. Dennis
of Atlanta, Ga, an octoroon, while his
mother is several shades darker. He
began to attract attention by his pre-
cocious understanding OF religious
truths and biblical parallels two years
ago. Since then his parents have trav-
eled with him in Georgia, Tennessee
and Alabama, and three weeks ago he
was brought north to make the round
of the cOlOred churches in this section.
The youngSter does not know his A
3 C's. but he has been coached on the
scriptures and has created an impress
sion in every city that he has visited.
In Mount Olivet church Sunday Lar
ney forgot his lines, but he nevertheless
made 1t interesting for those present.
Long before the time set for the SER
vice to begin the church was packed.
About a third of the congregation were
whites, who had been attracted by
curiosity. The usherS closed the main
entrance at 3 o'clock, but it was forced
open and the stairs leading to the gal
Ieries became chicken with a frenzied
throng.
Robert de Sale, president of the board
of trustees of the church, Tainly tried
to obtain order. Loud laughing, wrest-
ling and angry words nullified his eff
forts. An aged minister knelt and
prayed that those who have come from
motives of curiosity might be led to
view the services in the proper light"
At the word amen the disturbance
was renewed.
In the hope of keeping order the 'boy
evangelist was brought to the center
of the stage. He is a handsome young
Ster, with olive skin and large eyes.

SOME INDIAN SONGS
OF War, Peace, Love and Death Pre-
served by Graphophone
IFrom the Ruffalo Express.l

IFTOIn the BuffaIo EXpress.I
A novel use of the graphophone has
been made by members of the American
Folklore society in preserving Indian
songs. The meeting of the folklore sec
ton Of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science in New York
the other morning was enlivened by a
production of a number Of these songs
under the direction Of Miss Alice C.
Fletcher. The machine sang war,
peace, love, wolf, funeral and death
songs, but It was noticed that to the
unframed ears of most of the audience
the distinction between the various
classes of music was not very great.
When Miss Fletcher had finished with
the wax records OF the genuine article
DR.. Carl Umholtz, an expert in Next
can Indian lore, song several Indian
songs, which, delivered thus in the
voice Of a white man, went far to re-
move the impressions regarding Indian
music which the machine had created.

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat

DOG POWER IN OPERATION.
A, Detached lag; b, the Power; c, the Churn
ming on the pulleys. Rivet Stats (called
lags) to these belts for the dog to work
on. There must be but one rivet at
each end of the lag and this in the mid
die.
at each end of the lag a small piece,
say an inch or less square and six
inches long, must be fastened to the
lags as bridge to keep them from
sagging under the weight of the dog.
Two rivets or clinch nails are needed
to hold these bridges firm. Each al
ternate lag must have these strips set
in an inch so they will lap past each 9TH
er and rest on lag on each side. Three
or four small rollers or wheels are
needed under each end of the lag where
the dog treads, as seen in the illustra-
ton.
The connection with churn, sep
arator or other machine can be made
by ''tumbling rod" connection, as illus
trated, or by belt on the band wheel.
The lags may be half-inch thick and
four or five inches wide. AS the pitch
may need adjusting, to furnish the
power needed for different kinds of
work, it is well to hang the rear end by
straps so the elevation can be changed
at will.-Orange Judd Farmer.

THE PROFITABLE cow.
She Must Garry q Large, Finely.
Shaped Udder and Be of Mod
crate Temperament.

The most profitable COW is that one
which will produce the maximum
amount of milk, containing the maxi
mum amount of fat, from the cheapest
feed. This kind of q COW is found in all
our dairy breeds Of cattle, and occasion
ally among the beef breeds. Whatever
her breed, we will find that she con-
forms to definite, clearly fixed type
recognized as the dairy type, although
not infrequently there are found
marked exceptions. AS rule, such a
cow is large, that is, large for the breed
she represents. AS rule, too, such a
cow yields rather a large amount OF
milk, with fat content of between
four and five per cent. Such cow will
always carry a large, well developed.
fnely-shaped udder, and usually be OF
moderate! temperament. The man
who is making a success in dairying is
the one who recognizes the value OF
such cow and if he replenishes his
herd by buying he tries to buy as near.
ly such a cow as possible. If he is a
breeder he tries to breed cattle of her
type rather than be carried away by any
fancy whim that may arise.-National
