Burlington Train Held Up by Four
Masked DesperadOes.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 22.-Four masked
men held up the express car on the ST.
Louis Portland train of the Burlington
road early to-day at the village of Wood
lawn, a few miles northwest of Lincoln
The men commanded the express messen-
ger to open the local safe for them and al
low them to go through it. The through
safe, which the messenger could not open,
and which contained large sum Of money
was not molested. The robbers secured a
small sum from the local safe and then
disappeared. The train left Lincoln soon
after midnight and 1t is supposed the rob-
bers boarded it at this place.
There are many stories afioat here con-
corning the hold-up. A young man who
came in to-day from the scene said the en-
gineer was struck over the head with q re-
volver and that the pockets of the passen-
gers were rified. The railroad officials deny
this story and say that money was Sc
cured except from the local safe They adj
NIT the engineer and fireman We're covered
with revolvers and were compelled to stop
the train, but say that neither was hurt
The four robber crept up the tender to
reach the engineer. The fireman was or
dered to detach the express car from the
remainder of the train but this he was IN
able to do. The Burlington Company has
offered reward of $500 for the apprehen-
sion of the robbers. The police are working
on the case.

GEN. WHEELER'S REPORT.
Important Recommendation for I'm
proving the Army Service.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Important recon-
Inendations for improving the army service
ere made in the annual report Of the De-
partment of the Lakes, made public here
to-day The report was compiled BY Gen
Joseph Wheeler before his retirement. AT
least four-fifths of the recruits from this
department" reads the report, have gore
into foreign service without any instruc-
tons in rifle practice, and many of them
without having any rifles issued to them.
In case recruits of this character become
engaged with disciplined and trained SOL
diers the result must be terribly disastrous
to our troops When the effective range
is 400 or 500 yards IL is easy TO see how a lot
of poor shots could be killed by we'll
trained soldiers before they themselves
could do any damage" As a remedy for
this General Wheeler advises two or three
months training In pointing and aiming
drills and the firing of at least thirty shots
by each recruit under careful and COM
petent supervision, before the soldier is al
lowed TO go into the battle line. The re-
port also recommends that board of ex-
perienced officers be appointed to revise the
course of instruction at the infantry and
cavalry school.
The report continues: II also recommend
that speed in marching be given consider
able attention. / have found from expert
ence in the Philippines that the quickstep
was not tiresome TO the men, / have dis
covered that by marching fifty-five minutes
and resting five troops could easily cover
three miles an hour, and sometimes even
exceed that speed
At the nineteen recruiting stations of the
department 55.505 men applied for enlist
ment during the year. OF this number IA

GOOD POINT FOR HOWARD.
Strong Testimony I'm His Favor by
One Witness mt Frankfort.

FRANKFORT. KY, Sept. 22-The evil
dence in the case of James Howard was
not concluded to-day, as was expected. The
prosecution consumed the entire day in it's
rebuttal testimony, with the exception Of
one witness who was Pvt on the stand this
afternoon for the defense. This was Robert
Craft. of Clay county. who identified a
picture of Howard, which. he said. was
taken in October of last year, and which
showed that Howard wore no mustache or
beard Of any sort at that time, and was
consequently good testimony for the de-
Tense. in view of the testimony of Gaines
and other witnesses who testified that the
man who jumped over the rear fence of the
Capitol grounds at the time of the shooting
OF Senator Goebel wore a mustache.
The prosecution made deep inroads on the
defense in the testimony this morning by
introducing number of other witnesses.
who swore that Howard was not in the
Board Of Trade Hotel at the time Of the
shooting, he testified. and as others who
testified in his behalf had said. Among
those who testified as to who were in the
Howard was not there, were S. L. Pence
and X. G. Groom, proprietor and day clerk,
respectively, and Robert and Will Triplet.
The jury this afternoon was taken TO the
Statehouse grounds and allowed to view
the scene of the tragedy and other points
of interest in connection with the case.
The defense will introduce some witnesses
in rebuttal Monday. The testimony intro
duced will be mainly with a view to break
ing down the testimony of Bowman Gaines
and others who identified Howard as being
on the state Capitol grounds on the morn
ing of Jan. so, and also to further impeach
and contradict Stubblefield and other COM
monwealth witnesses.
