press Company was robbed, Monday
night. at the union depot Of 81 900 The
currency was consigned from the Keo-
kuk Bank to Salem Iowa, and should
have gone out at 7:15 Tuesday morning
over the Mount Pleasant branch. It
was delivered to the Express Company
on Monday and recetpted for by Ex-
press Cashier Fred schiotter. He turned
tower to Harry NJ. Carnahan, the local
depot agent. who put 1t in the safe.
On Tuesday morning when Carnahan
checked OFF his express the package was
gone.
superintendent q H. Butler, Of om-
aha. came in yesterday evening and be-
gan an investigation Of the theft. So
far no clue has been found. Agent
Steele had no personal contact with the
package, and 1t seems apparent that
Depot Agent Carnafan would not take
q package for such an amount after he
had duly receipted for 1t and was re-
Sponsible for Its safe keeping.

The theft has q remarkable similarity
to the Burlington robbery. except thar
no dummy package was used. The
crime will be traced to finish.
Burlington. Sept. The Adams Ex-
press Company officials tried hard to
keep the fact Of the robbery secret,
and in fact it was not known publicly
at Keokuk till Wednesday night. The
facts in the robbery were known In Bur.
iington yesterday morning, however.
and the Hawkeye. learning the particu-
lars, notified Its keokuk correspondent
to verify the report. This was done
and the above special from Keokuk CO.
incides with the information had In
Burlington yesterday.
The robbery was very similar to the
two recent ones from which the Adams
Express Company has suffered, and
makes it seem probable that an organ
lied gang is working in or about Bur-
Slington. In the $4,000 robbery there was
a substitution OF a bogus package, and
tho nothing ofathis kind was attempted
at Keokuk, the disappearance of the
money was almost as mysterious
In the robbery Of the $500 bag of cur
rency at the union depot few years
ago the same methods were pursued az

full at Keokuk In any event, there is

FAMINE IN INDIA.
Five Million People are in Daily Need Of
Government Support.

The report of the United States Con-
sui at Bombay to the State Department
in regard to the famine in India, will
remove the last lingering doubt as to
the severity of the calamity from which
that country is now suffering. The
impression has been general that the
present famine is only continuation
of the dearth which afflicted India in
1896 and 1897, and that it can be easily
cared for by the Indian Government.
The fuller information now coming
will dissipate this belief and let the
public know that the famine prevailing
is a distinct visitation, much worse
than the famine of few years back,
and perhaps the worst famine that has
afflicted that unhappy country in the
10Th century.
The failure of the crops which has
brought the famine is due to the usual
cause, the failure of the southwest
monsoons or seasonal winds which
DlOW IGOn Tie luuldu OC6du anu ARA
bian Sea and come heavily laden with
moisture which falls in rain over India.
When the precipitation is plentiful the
crops are abundant, but when the mon
soons fail to blow and little or no r&iI
falls the harvests are ruined and fam
inc follows.
These visitations are well known il
Indian history and have given the En-
glish Government great anxiety anC
put it to enormous expense. They
have occurred periodically since 1869
when the first famine of which there i
trustworthy records, happened. One
third of the population in the distric
afflicted is believed to have perished il
that famine Similar famines undoubt
edly occurred before, but from the lac
of records their results are not def
nitely known. The famine of 1876 t
1878 has been considered the mos
widespread and prolonged of any Indi
has known, but the present famin
gives promise of surprising in exter
and great destructiveness even tha
memorable calamity.

ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE.
Over 1000 Missionaries From Every Country
Meet in New York.

The Ecumenical Conference, the first
of it's kind ever held in this country,
adjourned yesterday-nine days not in
Guiding Sunday.
Ex-President Harrison said:
81 count it great honor to preside
over the deliberations of this great
body. 1t is to associate ones self with
the most influential and enduring work
that is beng done in this day of
great enterprises. He urged that the
great nations combine to suppress the
traffic of liquors among uncivilized
peoples as they combined to suppress
traffic in slaves.
President Mckinley said in part:
"Who can estimate their value to
the progress of the nations. Their
contributions to the onward and up
ward march of humanity is beyond all
calculation. They have inculcated in.
dustry and taught the various trades.
They have prompted concord and
amity and brought nations closer to-
gether. They have made men better
They have increased the regard for
home, have strengthened the sacred
ties of family; have made the com
munity well ordered. and their work
has been a potent influence in the de-
velopment of law and the establish
ment of government. May this great
meeting rekindle the spirit of mission
ary ardor and enthusiasm"
