Dolls. Heads.

Years ago doll heads were made Of
wood, carved out by hand, and great
numbers of dolls were sold that were
entirely Of wood, with jointed arms
and legs. Some dolls of this sort, look
ing quaint enough now, though they
We're one SO common, are still sold,
but the great bulk Of the dolls 20
made have bodies Of cloth or leather,
with heads of china, bisque or papier
mache. There are also dolls heads Of
metal, these heads being made Of brass
In two parts, stamped out with dies
and Joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made, many dies are used in the
production of a single head, the metal
being worked to its iral shape gradu-
ally. The first die makes but a barely
perceptible impression upon the piece
of sheet metal from which the head is
to be formed. The next shapes tia
little more, and SO on by pressure from
successive dies, each a little more
sharply defined, the head is brought
finally to it's perfect form. These heads
are made in various sizes and in vari-
GUS styles as to details of finish. They
cost about the same as the best bisque
heads, but one of the merits claimed
for them is Observation-Disclosures

Freezing Fur.-and Moths.

Once upon a time a woman who had
cedar chests in which to store her win
ter belongings was considered a fortu-
nate being indeed and looked upon
with envy by her sister housewives.
Now cedar chests, camphor and moth
balls are all scorned as old fashioned
and inadequate by the patrons Of cold
storage warehouses, where furs are
taken care Of and costly draperies,
rugs. etc., are sent for protection from
the moths.
The expert furriers say that heat and
not moths is the chief danger that
threatens furs. A months wear in
warm weather is harder on fine furs
than years of use with the thermometer
at freezing point. Heat takes the life
out of fur and pales the color, leaving
1T limp, dull and faded. In the modern
storage house the furs are kept in
rooms where the air is dry rs a bone
and the temperature many degrees be-
low freezing point. Aly daring moth
that found Its way into this room
would be at once frozen stiff.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Five Masked Men Flag North

SAFE R1FLED OF ITS CONTENTS.
Engineer Is Shot and Station Agent Badly
Pounded Up-Righwaymen Escape to
Be Pursued'by a P~osse-Robbery Occurs
at Maple Park, Near Dekalb, Ills.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-The Northwestern
limited train leaving Chicago at 1890 p.
m. last night was held up not far from
Dekalb, Ills, and robbed. The train is
due at Dekalb at 1920 and the holdup
occurred at tower w, three miles from
Maple Park, Ills. A special train con-
tanning a number Of armed men and
detectives left the Northwestern station
in Chicago bound for the scene of the
robbery. It is said there were five
masked men engaged in the operation.
The train was tagged and while two of
the men compelled the engineer and
fremen to run the engine ahead the
balance of them robbed the train.
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the
train was due at Maple Park the robbers
burst into the station house and pre-
senting revolvers at the head Of the sta
ton agent, compelled him to remain
quiet while they bound him. After
tying him fast to a chair, they forced a
gag into his mouth and left him utterly
helpless. The signals were then changed
SO that the train would be compelled to
stop before reaching the depot. The
robbers went down the track to the
point where the train would stop and
waited for it. AS soon as it came to a
halt, two of the men covered the engi-
neer and fireman with revolvers and,
after uncoupling the engine, compelled
the engineer to run it down the track
two miles. They then blew up the ex-
press car with dynamite, practically de-
molishing it and blocking the track.
They then blew open the safe and rifed
it. 1t is notknown how much money was
secured. Immediately after grabbing
what they could from the safe, the rob-
bers fled into the darkness. They are
now being pursued, but the robbers
have quite a lead over the posse that is
after them.
Engineer Daniel White of the train
was shot and it is reported very seri-
ously wounded in the breast, because
he refused to run his engine away from
the train. After shooting him one Of
the robbers ran the engine down the
track two miles to a switch, whereit
was chilled"
It is reported that the station agent
was badly pounded up and was left I'M
conscious on the depot floor when the
robbers went out to stop the train. It
is not thought that his injuries are fa-
tai, but it was two hours after being as
saulted before he recovered conscious
ness.

in the engagement three Americans
were killed and two wounded. Ru-
mors are in circulation in Manila that
Major Cheatham discovered three
American prisoners who had been

surgents. These rumors. however, are
not confirmed.

tive police, has been arrested and lodged
in Jail, his subordinates having reported
to the authorities that he was endeavor-
ing to enlist them in a plot to turn the
police against the Americans in the
event Of an uprising.
Reports having reached the provost
marshal that arms were concealed at
the headquarters of the Dominican
friars, a detachment of soldiers made a
search of the building. They found a
small stock Of Mausers, revolvers and
ammunition, which was confiscated
despite the protests of the friars that
the arms were not intended for unlaw-
full use.
General Schwan, with the infantry,
has reached Bacoor. The troops are
greatly exhausted, having had one Of
the hardest marches of the campaign.
From Malabon to Perez Diaz they
marched through ricefields. The
Fourth infantry, from linus, joined
General Schwan at Perez Des Marinas.
The Filipinos deserted the town on
learning of the approach of the Amer
leans.

lasting several seconds, were felt in Ma
Mia last evening.

Thunderer on the Situation,

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Times on the
situation says: It is idle to ignore the
fact that if the Beers make a deter
mined advance on a large scale into
Natal, as appears to be the case, a sus.
tanned condition Of mastery inactivity
might become hopelessly out Of the
question. We have no means of esti-
mating exactly the number of troops at
Ladysmith, Glencoe and Dundee, and
if we had it would not be expedient to
discuss that point. But if $4,000 Free
State troops are to be reckoned in addi-
ton to Commandment General Joubert's
contingent the situation is graver than
it seemed yesterday, and further details
will be awaited with anxiety.

About noon the citizens Of this noun
tain village were startled by the re-
peated crack Of rifles neal the court
house square. Three masked men
armed with Winchesters were firing
into the open door of the Sevierville
bank. The volley came more as a sig
nal than as a surprise to the officers Of
this place, who had been warned that
an attempt would be made to rob the
bank by three desperadoes. They Sc
creted themselves in a building opposite
the bank building and the fire of the
outlaws was promptly answered by a
fusillade. Thurmer, the leader of the
robbers, dropped to the ground NOR
tally wounded. Cal Derrick fell seri-
ously wounded. The third man, Will
lam Derrick, fed. For a mile and a
half he ran in front of a fierce fire from
the pursuing officers. He entered a
barn and his place of refuge was quickly
surrounded. Realizing that the odds
were against him he stepped out in full
view Of all, saluted the sheriff and cry
ing, "Good bye, boys" placed his pistol
TO his head and blew ont his. brains

LONDON, Oct. 14-An Edinburgh pa
per, the Scotsman. asserts that a battle
has taken place between General Sir
George Stewart White and the Beers
who entered Natal. General White,
the Scotsman says, is very sanguine of
the success of the British movement.
The foregoing report is considered to be
correct, as late last night the war Office
had news of a British advance from
Ladysmith and was hourly expecting
further intelligence.
The Daily Mails Cape Town CORE
spondent Friday evening says: 81 learn
on good authority the Beers are attack
ing Mafekng. They are reported to
have already suffered severe repulses.
It is thought ,Vryburg cannot stand a
strong Boer attack"
According to the same authority the
railway department. had early intima-
ton of the intention Of the Beers to de-
stroy railway bridges over IA streams,
and sent adequate forcesto protect these
points. The result was that the Beers
postponed their attempts.

Fifteen British Soldiers Killed.
LONDON, Oct. 14.-The Evening News
publishes the following dispatch from
Cape Town:
"An armored train, carrying guns,
has been destroyed south of Mafeking.
Fifteen British troops were killed. The
Beers shelled the wreckage after the
train was derailed."
The war Office fears that the worst
has happened. Apart from this de-
struction Of the armored train the most
notable change in the position of affairs
is the presence of Beers at Maribogo,
40 miles south of Mafeking, which
seems to indicate that they are endeav-
oring to get Colonel Baden-Poweu be-
tween two fires.
The gravity Of the Boer advance can
be better estimated when it is realized
that they will thereby cut railway and
Geographic communication to the north,
isolating several British positions,
which must be speedily relieved.
