Starving on Broadway.
The Pitiful Case ef Deserted
Wife in Search of Her Husband.

New York, Nov 25-A police
man found starving woman with
her lS>mOnths, starving baby
on Broadway this afternoon, the
clothing of both being saturated
with the rain, and the woman
wandering aimIessly about in a
half~dazed condition. She is
Claudia Staples, of Omaha, in
search of her hus )and, who, she
says, has deSersted her. Her
father is u ranch owner outside
Omaha. The woman is 80 years
of age and clad in ragged clothing.
Her baby was much better clothed.
The woman's mind was almost
wandering from the lack of nOur~
ishment. She WAS taken to a
police station and when it was
found she had been about four
days without food, suitable meal
was provided. Then mother and
baby were sent to Bellevue Hos
pital.
The woman told Il story OF hav
ing been deserted by her husband
and of leaving two chiIIron in
Omaha while she came East in
search of him, taking the youngest
child with her. Her money did
not last after she got to New York
and she finally went into the halls
Of buildings to sleep.

They May Qualify
Officers May be Sworn in I'm
medjatsly If They So Desire.

MIR. Jesse + CAN'T, chief clerk
"f the secretary of States office.
yesterday called attention to the
act that, not generally known,
even by the officers of the State
themselves, tFat the term of public
officers elected in the recent, or
ANY other general election, begins
on the day of the election, and
that any delay that may he oc-
cn>l"ned in the commission or
qualification of such officers re-
duces the length of the terms of
ssid officers.
1t is another fact not generally
appreciated, Mr.. CAN'T said, that
the commission, however it NAV
DO wordcd, does not give a retir.
ing oiilcer the right to hold q SIN
gle day after tho declaration of
the result of the general election,
if his successor qualities himself
to assume the office. There is a
contrary opinion over the State,
,Iue to general mIslnformation as
to the law. The commission is
not in itself the right Of the officer
TO the office he holds it is simply
the evidence Of his rIght--his title
deed to 1.-THE State.

Chicago Convention Approves Plan
for Improving Highways.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Several import
ant recommendation were made by
the Legislative committee at Wednes-
days session of the national good
roads convention. The report made
the following recommendations:
First-That highway commission
er be appointed by each state, to have
general charge of all roads.
Second-That the poll tax be abol-
ished and all taxes for road mainte-
nance be paid in cash. This includes
the repeal of the state labor laws.
Third-That a state road plan be
adopted in all states, including the
employment of convict labor in prep
aration of material for roads.
President Moore, speaking in sup
port of the last recommendation,
said that the farmers of this country,
owning less than one-ffth of the
property of the country, have up to
this time paid all the expenses of
roads for all the people except IN
three or four states. 1--WE believe,
said President Moore, "that these eN-
penses should be equalized and the
people in the cities should give their
just share"

a bill outlining the suggestions of

THE SAFE WAS TOO STRONG.
Six Train Robbers Attempt to Open a n
Express COmpany's Treasure Chests
but Fail TO Secure Much Money.

st, Louis, Nov. 22.--News was re-
ceiyed here last night of the holding
up of the Iron Mountain cannonball
passenger train, northbound, at Gift
ford, Ark, few miles this side of
Malvern Junction. The holdup oc-
cured at 1880 o'clock and was partic-
ipated in by half a dozen men. The
bandits had built huge bonfire on
the track, figuring that it would
cause the engineer to stop the train.
lie. however, scenting an attempted
robbery, opened the throttle and
sought to push through the fiery OBJ
struction.
Several ties. of which the fire was
made, caught in the pilot and soon
brought the train to a stop. Instant
ly three masked men ordered the en-
gineer and fireman to leave the en-
gine. Another robber went on the
side of the car, hailed the conductor
and ordered him to remain inside.
Each order was obeyed. While the
four robbers were standing guard
and occasionally firing shot to
frighten the passengers, their two ac-
completes entered the express car
and ordered Messenger Samuel
Avery to "step aside, or get to the
other corner
The large safe was charged five
times with dynamite, each explosion
making a terrific noise and tearing
off portions of the car. A large hole
was bored into the door of the safe,
but an entrance could not be effected.
TIE robbers finally announced that
they had no more dynamite and then
lhey gave up the task of forcing open
the door. Picking up the local ex-
press box and several packages they
ran TO their horses, which had been
hitched nearby, and rode away.
No attempt was made to disturb
the passengers except for an occa-
sional shot at an inquisttive person
who peered out of car window.
Messenger Avery was badly hurt
about the head and face by flying
splinters hurled about by the dyna
mite explosions. One side of his face
was lacerated and several teeth were
knocked out. He was sent to his
home at ST. Louis on the same train.
The top and one side of the express
ear were shattered to splinters.
The sheriff of Hot Springs county
organized posse and started in pur-
suit of the robbers. The train crew
say the bandits are amateurs, as they
went at their work in a bungling
fashion. All wore heavy masks. The
trainmen say the small box carried
off by the robbers contained about
$500. 1t is positively known that the
robbers also secured several sacks of
silver containing $50.
A posse of Is men left Malvern at 1
o'clock last night and took the trail
of the robbers at the scene of the
holdup.
Gov. Jones will offer rewards for
the capture of the bandits. 1t is
thought they have fed towards In
dian Territory.
