ONE ROBBER SHOT.
Attempt TO Rob Train Near Council
Bluffs Fails.

Council Bluffs, Ia, October 4.-Lying
at the morgue IN this city, with bullet
through his heart, is man, powerfully
built, black hair and moustache, about
six feet tall, aged apparently, 45 years.
He was one Of two men who held up the
Kansas City passenger train on the Bur
lington rad three miles south Of this city
at midnight. Express Messenger Charles
Baxter killed him.
The two men boarded the train at
Union Pacific transfer and climbed over
the tender just as the train was crossing
the Mosquito Greek bridge. Engineer
Donnelly and Frank Holman, fireman, j,
who were in charge of the engine, were
ordered to slow up as soon as the train
had crossed the bridge. While the man
now dead held a revolver on the engine
crew his companion went back and cut
OF the baggage and mall cars, leaving
the day coaches and sleepers standing on
the main line.
Acting under orders the engineer pulled
the train half mile down the track,
where a stop was mads. Here the rob-
bers approached the express car and or
dered Messenger Baxter to open the door.
He refused to do so. Under compulslon,
Engineer DonneIly attached a stick OF
dynamite to the side door of the car and
blew it open.
In the meantime Messenger Baxter
seized his gun and escaped from the door
on the opposite side OF the car.
As soon as the door was blown open,
one of the robbers entered the car while
this companion marched the engineer and
fireman back to the engine.
Baxter crept around in front OF the en-
gine and seeing the robber keeping guard
over the engineer, fired one shot and
killed him instantly. AS soon as the shot
was heard the robber IN the car jumped
to the ground AMI fed through a corn
field.
The dead man was picked up, placed on
board and the train was backed into this
city, The body was searched but nothing
was found on it by means Of which ii
could be identified. In the man pockets
were found about S15 in money and q
watch and chain. Conductor William Nc
Graw who was in charge of the trair
thinks the dead man in one George OF St
Joseph.
Ths robber who escaped was larger and
taller than the dead man being apparent
Iy above six feet In height. Both men
were masked and both wore overalls ano
jumpers. The door Of the express car was
badly shattered by the explosion of dyna-
mite.
The robber inside the car was preparing
to blow the safe at the time his compan-
ion was killed. He ceased operations at
once and no damage was done to the con-
tents of the car nCr was anything taken.

FAT AND LEAN

That is, babies: fat, they are
happy and safe; lean, they are
neither happy nor safe.
Apart from being entirely
healthy or not quite well, a fat
one has much reserve of vital
strength to resist any sudden
attack, while the lean one has
little or no reserve.
The way to be fat and well
is SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil. A little: only a little.
Not any, if healthy and plump
already; '1et well enough
alone" "

People Marry Older.

Ages given in marriage licenses in
the Recorders office show that men
and women are marrying later in life
than ten. or twenty years ago. The
average age is considerably above that
of ten years ago and very much above
that of twenty, thirty or forty years
ago. Formerly it was the rule rather
than the exception for brides to be IL
or IS and grooms 20 or 21. Now it Is
almost reversed. Figures for several
months show that the average brides
age is between % and 26, and the
groom's between 2S and 20.
The average age of the first six
couples applying for license at the
Recorders Office Saturday was 331a for
the men, and 80 for the women, When
the number Of couples had reached
nine the figures were reduced to 80
for the men and % for the women.
These figures, however, are not good
criterion, the couples applying Satur'
day happening to be little older than
ordinarily. Figures also indicate that
couples marrying in May are younger,
on the average. than those marrying
in the fall of'the year. r.. - IS
II don't know to what to attribute
the tendency to:marry; later in life"
said the marriage license clerk, "un'
less it is that it takes the young man
longer to get a start in the world than
it did twenty or thirty years ago. The
country is more developed, there are
not so many opportunities open to him,
and he must wait longer before he
finds himself in a position that would
warrant his taking the responsibility
of supporting a family. In other
words, men no longer marry young
because they can't afford it."-kansas

Learning to Wear Glasses.

The unfortunate vino comes to the
necessity of eyeglasses is likely to find
some difficulty and embarrassment in
keeping them on at first. In fsct, If
the nose is not built for the Popular
pince-nez it requires an experfeRee Of
Ssmonths to overcome what may we'll be
called the difficulty Of balancing, What
at first is an actual impossibility be-
comes, by. practice a. second nature,
which proves that the shape of the
nose has but little to do with the ques-
ton Of keeping the glasses on. Once
this trick Of balancing is mastered
there is no further trouble. People
who wear glasses habitually keep the
spring or clutch very loose. and there
is never a mark upon the nose. The
glasses rest as lightly as a feather.
yet never come off. My old friend
Colonel; Jonas fell down three flights
Of stairs and got up with his glasses
still firmly in place, yet his nose is
positively retrousse.-Victor Smith, in

The naval estimates Of Great, Brit
ain for the year 1901 amount to S144,.
100000; those France to se2,5oo,.
Oo0; those Of Russia.to $45,000,OOO; Of
Germany, not far from $4,000, 900 and

gives an approximate total Of $170,-

ers of the Continent, or about about
S26OOO,O0O in excess of the British
figures. In the latter are, however,
included sums for naval works for the

amounts to no less than M, 600, ,0O0

The PAY of Ministers.

AT a meeting Of the Universalist
ministers, in Boston one Of the breth-
rem opened his heart Oh the subject Of
ministers salaries: He felt deeply
that they were too low. and thought
ministers were paid only about half as
much as lawyers and doctors Of equal
ability! He thought, for one thing,
that minister should be paid for Off
ciating at funerals, where the. family
is in a position to give fees and are
not attendants at his church. : That
point, at least, seems to be we'll tsI-en.
No reason suggests itself why, under
circumstances as stated, a funreal fee
should not be willingly paid and ac-
cepted with resignation. The ques-
tion of funeral. fees often comes up,
because cases in which they seem due
are not uncommon, but they are rarely
paid, and are omitted in most instances
because the bereaved family does not
feel at liberty to offer one.-E. S. Mar.

The Newest Shape Skirt.

Although boX-pleated skirts are, still
very fashionable, there is growing
disposition to adopt the old.fashioned
style of skirt which, is gathered into
the waistband.. For some unknown
reason it is,, called "the housemaid's
skirt" but, as a matter Of fact, this
particular shape was adopted by the
leaders OF fashion during the earlier
part Of the present century, and is,
therefore, deserving of a more digni-
fed title. .,,tt AZ -.
