BANDITS ROB TRAIN
BOLD HOLD-UP BY EXPERIENCED
DEsPERADOES A SHORT DIS
TANCE FROM TEXARKANA
ROBBERS KNEW THE ROPES
Cut OFF Express and Mail Car and
Dynamited Safe-Then They
Stole the Engine and
Ran Away.

TEXARKANA,, Ark, Sept. 4.-No.
Cotton Belt passenger train, leaving
TeXarkana at 9:25 p. M, in charge of
Conductor Armstrong and Engineer Hem
derson, was held up and robbed near
5Eylau, four miles south of Texarkana,
last hight
The train was tagged by one of the
robbers, who forced the fireman to go
back and cut off the mail and express
cars, and, returning, forced the engineer
to give up the management of his en-
gine.
One Of the robbers, who it appears, is
an expert engineer, ran the engine, mail
and express car about a mile from the
point where the first stop was made
and forced the express messenger to open
his car. The robbers then blew open the
safe with dynamite, securing, it is said
a very large amount of booty. The ex-
act amount is withheld by the Cotton
Belt railroad and the express people but
1t is known that a very large shipment
was made last night on this train. The
ROBBERS after securing the loot, cut off
the engine from the mail and express
cars, and forcing Engineer Henderson
to get off, they took. the engine. in
charge of the robber engineer, and went
south at full speed.
TOOK ENGINE WITH THEM.
- A'oo " SfOCh ILLS the engine
mad not been found No passengers were
molested They were, however, very bad
ly frightened and hid their valuables
The robbers were evidently in possession
OF all facts concerning this particular
shipment of money, together with a
schedule of the train, as their scheme
was successful in every respect
A suspicious character was seen to
board the head end of the train leaving
Texarkana Railroad employees here seem
to be confident that the robbery was COM
mitted by railroad men from the manner
in which they superintended the cutting
off Of the cars and the handling of the
engine
The spot selected for the robbery was
well adapted for this kind of work, be-
ing very wild and heavily timbered The
conductor and several passengers walked
back to Texarkana, a distance of four
miles. The sheriff and posse have been,
summoned to go in pursuit Of the rob-
bers. At this hour the passenger train
stands in two pieces, with the engines
whereabouts unknown. So far as known,
no one was injured There were five men
in the gang.

which he hoped to lubricate with his
vocal ointment. Senator Ed Young felt
that this was not a real session of the
legislature and he wrapped his dignity
ABOUT him and was very brief merely
assuring the management of the fair
that the legislature was friendly to the
lair and didn't expect any more passes
than was due it. Tim Sheehan had not
expected to make a speech, but when Ed
Young arose and spoke, the senatorial
habits of the tall Ramsey county sena-
tor forced him to mis- feet in self-defense
to explain his position. He realized the
limitations of the body, he said, and
would therefore say nothing that re-
CURED serious consideration He made
a lew happily turned points, touched up
the extra session, and said that it should
ne given wholly to the discussion of the
measures that went down to death in
the last session of the legislature
Ihe obituary notices of some of them
seemed to weigh heavily upon the mind
of good Brother Sheehan. Attorney Cen
eraI douglas rendered a decision hold
ing that all future buildings at the fair
should be made fireproof Former Read
ing Clerk Frank Forbes was asked to
sing, but made the noblest sacrifice of
ms lie by refusing and was cheered to
the echo. The boys seemed oto enjoy

an hour of jollity and pleasure they

WEATHER-FAIR.

Minneapolis is long on civic. pride, and
that was probably the principal reason
why the day set apart by the manage
ment of the state fair as a Mill City oc-
casion proved to be another second day
record breaker. To this, also, must be
added the fact that the day was in every
sense of the word an ideal one for such
gathering, and the further fact that
several thousand residents of the Sanity
City made a trip to the grounds and
helped to swell the gate receipts, and also
the registration recorded on the turn
stiles.
The crowd from the up-river town be-
gan to come early-so early, in fact, that
when IL o'clock arrived it was announced
that the attendance for the day up to
that hour was about 5000 more than for
the corresponding day last year. From
that time until late in the afternoon the
arrivals came thicker and faster Every
car that passed was loaded to the
guards with well-dressed, smiling folk
out for holiday and seemingly bent on
having a good time. Not few of those
who came in the afternoon stayed until
after the evening entertainment was over
and thus were afforded the opportunity
of seeing two big shows at the most fa-
vorable hour of the day for the price of
one admission. For be it known that the
average Minneapolitan, like John Gill
even though he be on pleasure bent.
MANAGEMENT GETTING WISE.
In view of the constantly increasing at
tendance at the fair it begins to look as
though the managers are getting wise.
The bringing of Vice President Roose-.
welt for the opening day was a clever
stroke of business, and to it is due the
gratifying fact that the attendance for
that day was several times greater than
it has ever been in previous years. Max
ing Tuesday Minneapolis day was an
other happy thought as it practically
insured a big attendance on a day that
has not hitherto been noted for a heavy
crowd. Wednesday and Thursday are
always sure to. bring out large attend
ance and these are passed over to some
extent. Friday will be ST. Paul day. and
that, of course, will insure another
crowd. AS for Saturday, that is gener-
ally devoted to cleaning up and getting
away, no matter what the attractions
may be. The arrangement shows both
prescience and sagacity, and the new rec
ordS are bearing witness to the fact that
the forethought and experience of the
management are beginning to tell in the
increased attendance and the proportion
ate growth In the receipts of the box Of
flee.
Today will be State and Territorial day,
and it is quite probable that the attend
ance will be heavy. The bulk of the Wis
1tors from the country usually does not
begin to arrive until about the middle of
the week, and there Is little doubt that
they will be very much in evidence on
the grounds for the next three days.

BERLIN, Sept. 3.-Several papers COM
nent today upon Vice President Roose-
Vets speech at the Minnesota State Fair
regarding the part the United States
should play among the great nations.
zone sees how leading American poll
ticians demand an extension OF the
sphere of power of the United States"
says the Vossische Zeitung. One sees
this purpose more sharply emphasized IN
the opposition offered to European inf1u-
ence. One sees also how the United
States claim domiciliary rights in the
internal and external affairs of all Amer
lean countries.
If, therefore, a conviction exists that
the North Americans are ready at any
time to go far beyond their rights and
duties, mixing in the affairs of weaker
American countries, there is no cause for
wonder If people outside of the United
States are really in error regarding the
intent of the United States, the Ameri-
cans have themselves to blame Mr..
Roosevelt spoke quite in the well known
tone"
The utterances of the vice president re-
ferred to are interpreted by the Vosstsche
Zeltung to mean that the United States
must use their forces against any Amer
lean country designing to attack and that
the Washington government must then
again mix itself in matters, which ac-
cording to international law, it really
should have nothing to do with.
UNITED STATES EXPANDING.
In conclusion the Vossische Zeitung
says:
We know of no European country that
Is trying to secure territorial extension
anywhere in America unless it be Great
Britain, which is insisting upon the OBJ
SerVance of treaty rights in connection
with the Nicaragua canal The only
country in the world now following a
policy of expansion in America is the
United States. The Americans think fit
for domestic political reasons to show
diStruSt as regards Europe, whereas Eu-
rope has better grounds for observing the
plans of the United States with a reason
able distrust"
The Berliner Tageblatt says:
THE speech of the American vice pres
ident is a reassertion of the Monroe doc
trine in the jingo sense, and shows how
widespread in the United States is the
chimera of European powers seeking ter
ritorial expansion in the western hemi-
sphere"
@ HAS HEARD IT BEFORE.
The National Zeitung says that 'the
speech may be treated lightly, as Mr.
Roosevelt delivers it often,'' adds:
After Secretary Hay has clearly de-
nned the policy of the United States with
reference to Isthmian troubles, Mr..
RooSeVeltS remarks amount, more or
less, to repetition of the declaration Of
the leader of the foreign policy of the
United States
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
Mr.. Roosevelt claims for the United
States the role of arbitrator and dictator
of all America. whereas no European
power shows the slightest disposition to
interfere"

Short Speeches.

Lieut.. Gov. Smith and Others Make
Short Speeches.
One of the happy features at the fair
yesterday was the assembling of men,
bers of the state legislature in session
at Institute hall. The soIons convened
for a brief period to discuss the fair, the
weather, the money question and the
world in general. Individually and col
lectively they agreed that the present
fair was great success and they praised
the management for their efforts in be-
half of the people Of the state, and said
that the, money appropriated by the legis-
lature for the fair had been we'll spent,
and they only regretted that they had
not given 1t a larger slice. Great ap-
plausel Lieut.. Gov. Lyndon A. Smith
called the meeting to order, and Sena-
tor Larson, of Sibley county, was made
chairman, and julius Schmall secretary
of the meeting. Then the speechifying
began. Senator Larson made a brief
speech expressing his satisfaction at be-
ing able to be present Secretary Ran
dali, being called upon, made really
eloquent speech, and the senators were
secretly glad that he was not a member
of their Venerable body to steal away
the laurels of. oratory from Tim Sheehan
and Ed Young. Randall told them what
a great lot of men they were, but it
didn't seem to surprise them. so he went
rious exhibits at the fair which were
worthy of consideration. He spoke of
the new agricultural building and as
sured the legislators that they made no
mistake in appropriating money for its
erection. He told them of the successful
tests given the new hydrant system re-
Gently put in, which guarantees ade-
quate fire protection to the exhibits. He
declared that this was to be the banner
year of the fairs history; a goodly bit
of gold coin would be placed to the credit
Of the association, and they would be in
a position to do greater things for next
year than had ever yet been attempted.
He believed the Minnesota state fair
destined to be one of the greatest fac
tors in the development of the North
Star state. He pointed out the great edu-
cadonal value of the various exhibits
and dwelt upon the especial value of the
large sales of thoroughbred stock to
Minnesota farmers, which tended to raise
the standard of Minnesota stock, increase
the stock interests of the state and con-
tribute to it's real wealth. He said that
next year they would need a larger
grand stand, and he wanted an electric
light plant on the grounds and he hoped
the legislators would look around, size
UP the situation and come to the sensible
conclusion that these things were needed
and should be granted.
Lieut.@G Gov. Smith blushed when called
upon for remarks and begged to be let
off. He said that he was bottling up all
his eloquence for the coming special ses-
sion of the legislature, and as <te sub
ject at that session would be tax law
there would be large areas of drought

Disappointed a Charity to Which
She Had Promised Her Services
Tells of Strange Expe-

PARIS, Sept. S.-A fortnight ago Sarah
Bernhardt promised her services at
charitable performance at ST. Malo, but
she did not appear, and wrote, two days
afterward, that she had an incredible ex-
perience on board a yacht, which, how
ever, she could not narrate. Nothing
more was heard of her until, in reply to
a reporter who inquired for particulars.
Nine. Bernhardt's secretary wrote, a few
days ago, from Belle Isle-e Mer, that
she was so i'll from the results of the
voyage that she was unable to reply.
These mysterious messages have aroused
certain amount of curiosity, but the

require action by both branches of con-

as the house must provide the necessary
