Robbers Stop Passenger at Clifford,
Ark, by building Fire on Track.
The north bound Iron Mountain cannon
ball passenger train was held up at Gift
ford, Ark, at 7:15 O'Clock Wednesday
evening by six masked men. The train
was delayed by the robbers forty-6ve
minutes. The robbers covered the track
with railroad ties and built big fire in
the center of the pile. The engineer, sus-
picious of an attempted robbery, tried to
pull through, but the ties caught in the
pilot and stopped the engine.
Instantly three masked men appeared
and ordered the engineer and fireman to
come down from the cab at once, and
another of the robbers went to the side
of the car and commanded the conductor
to remain inside. Each order was obey
ed While the four robbers were stand
ing guard and occasionally firing shot
to brighten the passengers, two remain
ing bandits entered the express car and
ordered Messenger Samuel w. Avery to
step aside.
The large safe was charged five times
with dynamite, each explosion making a
terrific noise and tearing some portion
from the car. A large hole was bored
into the door Of the safe, but entrance
could not be effected The robbers final

VICTIMS OF A TORNADO.
AT Least Twenty-Five Persons Are
Dead in Ieuuessee

AT Least Twenty-Five Persons Are
Dead in Tennessee.
Leaving death in its wake, tornado
swept across the central Southern States
as darkness fell upon Tenpessee and Mis-
sissippi Tuesday night. Wednesday the
sun rose upon a scene of pitiable desc
lation in the cities and towns lying in
the path where the angry visitor spent its
fury. AT noon it was estimated that the
number of those who lost their lives
would reach twenty five, while twice that
many were badly injured and entire COM
munitieS had the narrowest escape. But
what the mortality and the amount of
the damage to property actually are can
not be ascertained until telegraph and
telephone wires are strung again and rail-
road communication is established anew
into the stricken districts.
Columbia and La Grange, small towns
in Tennessee, probably are the worst suf-
ferers The principal business street of
La Grange is in ruins and several per-
sons are dead. At Columbia and many
points along the Illinois Central Rail-
way line there is also loss Of life and
great damage, with resultant restitution,
Columbia is at the junction Of the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis roads, and La
Grange is situated forty miles east
of Memphis ON the Southern Railway, in
Fayette County.
The cyclone lasted FOR about five min.
utes and its path, which was about 1,OOC
feet wide, is clearly marked by devasta'
ton. Many houses, including large
number of negro cabins, were blown down
and many others unroofed and otherwise
damaged. The fencing surrounding the
United States arsenal was blown away,
but the building remains intact. A freight
train on the Nashville Florence and Shelf
field Railway was lifted from the track.

plant and to give them ride. After
the ride | wanted to glys the elephant

said "Salaam kuro"-that is, Make a
salaam."
The animal looked at me hard for
some time, and at the bun in'my hand.
At last memory came to his help, and
up went his trunk and he made most
correct sa aan.
The keeper seemed very much sur
prised, and asked me what II meant.

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Position of the British There Is Far
from Being Favorable.
The war between the British and Beers
in South Africa is far from being ended.
The position of the British forces there
is decidedly worse than when they first
occupied Pretoria in June. The fact that
the Beers no longer have an important
fixed position to be attacked has left
them free to indulge in the ubiquitous,
rowing warfare which they are prosecut-
ing with such extraordinary success. The
British no longer have any definite OBJ
jective for heavy operations, and are
as far as ever from acquiring equal MINI
bleness with the Beers at scattered fight
ing
The burghers are now masters of the
country in the western Transyaal around
Vryburg. They also hold all the keys
to the Southern Free State, and have re-,
peatedly held the main railway from Pre-
toria to Cape Town, above the Orange
river. They have recently captured
trains and supplies, severed British COM
munications and captured several small
British garrisons. These successes have
increased the activity of all the Boer
forces in the field. The net result is that
Rotha, De Wet and Delarey are all as
strong as they were four months ago.
When supplies are short they sweep
down on some village which the British
hold, and which they know is well filed,
and help themselves.
The unreconcilable bitterness of the
Boer women is extraordinary. 1t was
the women and other neutrals that
brought the Beers right into Jacobsdal
and Phillipolis. where they oyerpowered
the garrisons. The struggle is rapidly
drifting into a race war, involving every
body living in the country. When Presi-
dent Kruger sailed from Delagoa bay
it was Immediately declared that he was
mere private harmless refugee, embar-
raising only to the country which he Wis
tied. 1t is impossible to maintain that
belief now. 1t is seriously possible that
with Kruger now in Europe and the
Beers active in South Africa some power
may seek to advise England to arrange a
settlement That that advice will be re-
jected is certain, but the offering Of it
will continue the Boer belief that their
struggle for independence is not hopeless
