Is a perfect godsend TO the nerve racked
and irritable folk around her
IL IS she who tames the equity old

THE BANK OF
COLUMBUS ROBBED.
They Secure $1,000 to 5000.

The Bank of Columbus was robbed
Monday morning, the robbers securing
from 5000 to 5000 in currency, The
robbers entered the Bank by the back
door, filing off Yale lock. A charge
OF dynamite blew open the outer door Of
the vault, and heavier charge wrecked
the money vault. Neither of the ex-
ploslons woke any of the town people.
The thieves stole oil the gold and cur
rency but left the silver scattered over
the floor. The robbery will not affect
the Bank as it has ample capital.
There is really no clue to the robbers
Some think it was the work of "river
rats and others think it was four men,
strangers, who left Columbus on horse
back. The City Marshal thinks It'll was
the work of one man. solitary and
alone.

great, broad hand on my shoulder and
looking at me earnestly with. his keen
steel blue Irish eyes, ''next to clear
conscience trade is as good thing as
any young man can have in this coun-

cos1M1ssARY FRAUDS.

Manila Papers Give Details Of In
vestigation and Discovery.
Washington, May 1. - Copies of Ma
Mia papers, a month old, have been re-
ceived at the war department contain
ing stories Of the discoveries Of irregu-
larities in the matter of commissary
stores. 1t appears from these accounts
that Maj. West, who was sent to Ma
Mia to be depot commissary, would not
accept charge of the depot until the
stores either were shown upon invoice
or accounted for. This led to investf-
cation and some of the enlisted men
and civilians employed about the COM
missary storehouses were arrested.
Then the Manila police made the
rounds of the city and found quite a
large amount Of commissary supplies
in different places. Much Of this could
be accounted for by the sale Of savings
on rations. but this saving it appears
could not be disposed Of to general
buyers, for an order in force In the
Philippines directs the return to the
commissary department stores Of saw
ings,. which will be paid for at the rate
of cost to the government. This would
be a much less profit than could be
obtained by dealing with merchants
and contractors. The papers received
here simply enlarge on the cable re-
ports. 5

BANDITS UNSUCCESSFUL.

Attempted to Hold Up and Rob .
Town In Texas.
Texarkana, Ark, April 27-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made yesterday
to hold up and rob the little town of
Queen City, Tex, sixteen miles south OF
Texarkana on the Texas & Pacific
railway. Five men went to the
single mill of c. L. Cabe, which was
in charge Of Night Waterman Ira
King. They covered him with pistols
and iisarmed him. A tramp named
Woods was sleeping in the mill. The
men told King and Woods that they
were going to tie them to the railway
tracks, capture the night policeman
and rob the town. King and Woods
were taken to the track, but while the
robbers were getting ropes ready they
broke away. Woods was shot twice by
the robbers and is dead. king was
shot in the head, but viii; Irtf'a sly re-
cover. The shooting attracted, the at
tention of Constable ]. M. Powell. who
hurried to the scene with Clyde
Strange. Upon their arrival a pitched
battle ensued. The officer emptied
two guns at the robbers and after ex-
hausting his ammunition was forced to
retreat. Bloodhounds are now on the
trail of the robbers. Aside from being
shot King and Woods were badly beat
en- with pistols.

The United States Dumping
Ground for Italian Desperadoes.
New York, May i. - The Herald
says: Italy is making Of the United
States a dumping ground for her GRIM
mails and paupers. This factor has
been forcibly brought to the attention
of the local authorities by the arrival
in this port of three Italian brigands,
whose %depredations made them a
scourge to the province in which they
were reared. Despairing Of being re-
lieved in any other manner, the mer-
chants upon whom they had preyed
made up a liberal purse with which the
three were sent to this country, land
ing with money enough in their pock-
cts to pass unquestioned. The three
desperadoes are now in Kansas City.
Warning has been sent by Police Com
missioner Murphy to the Kansas City
police.

Frankfort, KY, April 27.-One Of the
most disastrous explosions on record
occurred yesterday afternoon at the
electro-chemical works near Griesheim.
where smokeless powder is manufac-
tured. Most of the boilers exploded.
The noise was so tremendous that It
was heard at great distances, including
Frankfort and Mayence. The factory
Immediately became a mass Of flames
and q northeast wind carried the
sparks to n%eighboring villages where
several houses were also set on fire.
Eighteen cylinders, each containing
about 100 pounds of smokeless powder,
occurred. Troops were Immediately
ordered to Griesheim to prevent the
fire spreading to the large benzine
reservoirs near by. Fire brigades from
every place in the n~eighborhood ur-
ried to the scene, but owing to the
dangerous nature of the disaster and
the fear of a renewal of the explo-
sions, the greatest difficulty was ex-
perienced in stopping the progress OF
the flames. Only after five
Hours of strenuous Enort
was the conflagration to some extent
controlled and the danger passed SO as
to make it possible to begin the work
Of extricating the bodies. 1t is feared
that nearly 200 persons have been killed
and injured. The last explosion oc-
Cured at 1880 p. M, and, when it was
ascertained that no further damage
was anticipated the inhabitants were
allowed to return to their homes. AT
$3.50 p. m. the fire was still burning In
the center and the work of extricating
the dead and dying was being carried
on by torchlight, gas light not being
obtainable. All railway traffic with
Frankfort was stopped during n fire
except for trains carrying the injured
but it has since been resumed.
Four sheds for dressing the wounds
of the injured have been erected. III
catastrophe originated in a small fire
which ignited several recep.;cles OF
pioric acid, causing a terrific explosion
The houses adjoining the factory were
partly burned and partly demolished
by the violence Of the explosion. 1t II
still impossible to a definitely how
numerous are the victims.
