Blind Institute Closes.

Wednesday afternoon the closing ex
ercises at the, Blind School took place
a number of the parents of the pupils
and numerous friends were present. Nc
elaborate preparations we're made,
simply a program such as has been
customary to give once a month during
the Last year. The pupils and all did
themselves proud. Little Marguerite
Flower and Frank Sanders, the sweet
singers of the school received hearty
encore to which they kindly responded.
With few well chosen remarks Prof.
Carter dismissed the school. The
superintendent and his corps of teachers
may we'll be proud Of the manner in
which the pupils acquitted themselves.
These exercises differ from usual school
entertainments and require much more
patience and labor. When one realizes
that the blind are taught to read, write,
play the piano and violin without the
sense OF sight, great credit is due their
instructors.
During the last year twenty-nine
pupils have been enrolled, which is the
largest number yet recorded for this in.

these pupils were instructed by the

A. M. Vardaman Dead.

Rev. A. M. Vardeman, pastor OF the
vandalia Baptist Church, died at his
home in that city at 8 O'Clock Thurs
day morning, October "a, of paralysis.
Deceased was about so years Of age
and was born in Kentucky. He leaves
a widow and five children.
For four or five years during the
eighties Mr.. Vardeman was pastor OF
the Baptist church in this city and by
his earnest work won the love and re-
spect of all the citizens of this city
who knew him. After leaving here
Mr.. Vardeman taught in the Bards-
town (Ky.) Seminary and was after
ward located at Alexandria, La, where
he was engaged in state mission work.
About IS months ago Mr.. Vardeman
accepted the call from the Vandalia
church.
Since taking that charge he has
raised enough money to erect a sl2, 900

conducted within its walls.

minimize the liquor traffic by having
as few saloons as possible and yet
avoid the establishing Of Joints, where
liquor is sold without the control of
law. Its intention is to put the sale
into a few hands and they, men of
sufficient means to be answerable to
the law. Moberly seems to have struck
a happy mean at the beginning and
her saloons have continued at almost
the same number since the 81 900 law
went into force In this city. The
saloons have also been, to reasona-
BILE degree, prosperous; although the
drink habit has materially decreased
since the high license made its ad-
vent into the city, not a single man
has failed in that business. This prob
ably could not be said of any other
business in the city. 1t is the inten-
tion Of the law that when the traffic
decreases, the number of saloons shall
decrease accordingly, and, on the 9th
er hand, II the saloons increase UNI
duly, the license is to be raised. Its
purpose is reformatory and the inter-
ests Of the individual saloon man must
give way to this side.

the express car badly damaged, but
the booty amounted TO little. Two
men boarded the train at Cottage

out.
After passing Walkers, which Is
four miles from Cottage Grove, they
climed over the tender and covered
Engineer Jack Nichols and the fire.
man and his helper.
The train was ordered to stop, after
which the fireman and helper were
ordered to uncouple the train between
the express car and the first coach.
Engineer Nichols was then ordered
to pull ahead, the fireman and helper
being left behind. After going a
short distance the train was stopped
and the robbers proceeded to the ex-
press car, taking with them the en-.
gineer.
The express car was blown open with
dynamite and Express Messenger C.
Charles was ordered out, but he re-
fused to go and with his shotgun COM
manded the situation inside the car.
The robbers ordered him to come
out or be blown up with the car, but
he responded. "Blow and be -.''
The car was then riddled with rifle
bullets, which did not injure the
messenger, who kept up a continuous
fire from the inside, which held the
robbers at bay.
A charge of dynamite was then
thrown into the car with burning
fuse, but Charles grabbed it and
threw it outside, where it exploded.
Next the robbers compelled the en-
gineer to crawl up to the opening in
side Of the car, hoping to use him as
protection from the messengers shots,
but the messenger kept up steady
fire over the engineers head and still
held the robbers at bay.
The robbers then gave up their
efforts TO secure the express treasure
and went for the mail. They secured
the registered mail, then cut the en-
gine from the rest of the train and
ordered Engineer Nichols to pull
ahead. They ran to Judkin's Point,
in the outskirts of Eugene, where
they disembarked and ordered the en-

The train arrived here at $780, about
four hours late. The news was wired
from Saginaw and officers were out
