Difficulties.

We are not at all unmindful of the difficulties
in the way of enforcing such a provision in the
statute as we seek TO have enacted 1t may be
that in many cases, perhaps most cases. the
creditor would not discover the wrong that was
being done him until it was too late to apply
the remedy. The stable door might be locked
only after the horse was stolen. But the diff
Guilty Of enforcing a right is no reason why it
should he withheld The least that the leGisla-
ture can do is to put il in the power of the
creditor to protect himself and leave il to his
diligence TO apply the remedy. Let the legis'
lature do its part, and the creditor cannot then
complain if by any want OF diligence or alert
ness he fails to do his But there would be no
greater inherent difficulty in the way of eniorc.
ing the provisions Of the statute that we ad-
yocate against fraudulent conveyances or many
other statutes which are liable TO be evaded
and there are many cases-no one knows how
many-where the statute we propose might be
a strong and effective weapon in the hands Of
Justice.

The awfuF condition of affairs in. the
administration of. the police force is not
likely to be improved upon in the event
OF Chet Smiths election. Mr.. Smith has
given it out cold to a few of his most
intimate personal friends that he pro
poses to have the best chief of police
that money can get in the United States,
even if he has to go to Boston to get
him" Perhaps Mr.. Smith did not mean
by that that he intended to get his chief
of police from the City of Goldfish and
Beans, but at any rate the statement
above quoted was made with such def
initeness and emphasis that it impressed
the gentleman to whom it was made
with the idea that it was useless for any
St Paul candidate for the place to enter.
the lists.
This probably accounts for the lassItude
of that eminent police chief, M. N. Goss,
who was slated for the place in the event
of Reeves nomination and election, and
who also played the Schiffmann crowd
for the same place. Mr.. Goss was
Doran man in the convention, with
Reeves as a second choice in the event
that he had any show, but pledged to
Schiffmann unless Reeves had more than
eighty delegates on the first ballot He
was the man, however, who engineered
the sudden and effective switch to Smith
that carried the day, and confidently eX-
pected to be recognized by the appoint
ment to his old place. The gentleman
to whom Mr.. Smith made the statement
quoted at the beginning of this article
had presented the case to the Republican
nominee for mayor and asked for
pledge. He was told, it is claimed that
he would ''as lief give the place to Goss
as to any st. Paul man, but that if he
was elected he would have the best
chief of police that money could buy,
even if he had to go to Boston for him.
This thing of going out of the city
for a chief of police is not a new de-
parture for Republican. IT will be re-
membered that Mayor Wright, the first
Republican experiment, imported a chief
of police who was almost as rank fail

From Colorado.

Denver, Colo, November 22.-It is impos- sible for the railroads to estimate the amount of damage suffered by reason of the windstorm which swept the lines for nearly 100 miles along the base of the mountains yesterday and last night. The wires were blown down and trains are moved with great caution in the absence of telegraphic orders, seriously delaying traffic. Many freight cars on sidings had their roofs blown off, station buildings were damaged more or less all through the storm region and the tracks strewn with wrickage which further retarded the move- ment of trains.
 Between Pueblo and Colorado Springs the property loss will be heavy among the ranchmen.
 The storm stands without a parallel in many respects. Former severe wind storms have been accompanied with either rain or snow, but in this case 1t was neither, and the wind carried sand gravel and small stones similar to the awful sandstorms of the desert.

STILL AT LARGE.
Officers Believe They Have the FugI-
 tives Surrounded.

Little Rock, Ark, November 22.-Reports tonight from the vicinity of last night 8 train robbery on the St. Louis, Iron Noun tain and Southern Railway show that the robbers are still at large. The posse today was close to the fugitives, and 1t was thought capture was certain. Officers are confident that the robbers ara still around Clifford, where the robbery occurred, and 1t is suspected one or more of the gang joined the posse to throw the authorities off the clew they are working upon. Accurate de- scriptions of the men have been secured from the train crew, and several arrests are likely to be made soon- Governor Jones could offer no reward today, the States re- ward fund having been exhausted.
 A Gazette special from Hot Springs to- night says:
 ''The indications are that the robbers Of the express car on the Iron Mountain train last night near Malvern secured large sum of money, though 1t is reported that only a small sum was taken. It is known positively that a gentleman in Hot Springs telephoned to Malvern just before the north bound train arrived yesterday afternoon to ascertain if the express company would have the large safe in the car en route north opened and deposit therein $l5,O0O which he desired to send away. The agent at Malvern replied that the safe was to go through and would not be opened. The money was sent and hence must have been placed in the small safe, which was blown to pieces and robbed of its contents"

In Arkansas.

Little Rock, November 22-No additional storm fatalities have been reported in Monroe County. A dispatch from Claren- don tonight says the greatest damage to farms occurred southeast of that place. Though some fatalities have been reported from that section, later reports indicate that none occurred and that the several persons injured will recover. The damage to farms, however, is incaloulable. The path of the storm in Arkansas County is strewn with wrecked farm houses. Miss Ella Shirkey, teacher of the school at To- der, and nine pupils who were injured while fleeing in the storm, will all recover They were blown from a wagon into a barbed wire fence, and the entire party sustained severe injuries The principal damage in Arkansas County was in the vicinity of Ulm, six miles north of Stutt- gart where several houses were blown down. The fatalities in Lee County will not exceed six, and are confined mainly to negro farm hands. Several isolated locali- ties have not been heard from.

DETAILS OF THE
 TRAIN ROBBERY. Conductor Says Job Was Done
 by Six Men. WERE NEW AT THE BUSINESS Effort to Blow Open Safe Proved Bun. eIesome-Railroad Officials Offer Reward-The Fueitives Are
 Still at Large.
WERE NEW AT THE BUSINESS

Poplar Bluff, Ark, November 22.-Con- ductor Whiteside, who had charge of the Iron Mountain train held up at Clifford, Ark, last night and Baggageman Todd both reside here. MT. Whiteside says that at least six men were engaged in the rob- bery. He said that two of the men stood guard over the engineer and fireman, two kept the passengers quiet and the other pair broke open the express car. Several shots were fired at Whiteside. One of the men engaged in blowing open the safe com pelled Todd at the point of a revolver to &C., company him to the express car and take the keys to the local safe from the pocket of Sam Avery, the express messenger. He was then ordered to select the right key to the safe and unlock 1t, after which the robbers extracted several bags of coin it contained and then departed. Baggageman Todd says the robbers wore masks and evil dently were new hands at train robbing, for their attempts to blow open the safe were bungling.
 The large safe, which was subjected to five explosions of dynamite, did not yield up It's strongbox, and was brought to St. Louis. In it's exterior portions and cement Things it is a complete wreck. The inner casing, against which the strongbox rests, however is intact although battered and twisted out of shape. Another charge of dynamite would have made all the funds in the box accessible.
 General Manager Russell Harding, of the Iron Mountain, and General Superintendent l.. A. Fuller, of the Pacific Express Com ofr $500 reward for the arrest ad conviction of each person engaged in the hold-up and robbery. The circular also states that the Pacific Express Company will pay 10 per cent of the moneys recovered, the reward to go to the persons who actually return the money, but no portion of 1t to go to persons engaged in the robbery.
