VA. FRIDAY, JULY f. 1902

There are increasing evidences that
real estate investments in the coun-
try are Of increas-
ing value. There
A'"~'"s 'p' are reasons for this
that will continue and grow more po-
tent with time. 1t has dawned upon the
! intelligence OF the American people
that the abundance Of our surplus
lands is rapidly dwindling. The abil-
, ity Of Uncle Sam to give every man
farm is terminated and the time is
not far distant when he will have none
beyond the holdings required for his
own use. Another fact affecting val
ues in this line, says the Detroit Free
Press, is that population is rapidly
gaining upon food production. This is
true in the United States, and 10
larger extent in the old world. The
necessary result is that farming be-
comes more profitable and the land on
which TO conduct il more valuable.
When machinery was introduced in the
"boundless" west the immediate result
was to depreciate farms in the east
and to drive young men fromthe coun-
try to the city. There was a congestion
Of labor in these centers and much Of
the trouble it has encountered is the
result OF this cause. But the west has
filed up. Skill and ingenuity have done
about all possible in the output of ag-
ricultural machinery. This again puts
the east on a basis OF profitable pro-
duction. It's farms are advancing in
value and many Of those that were
abandoned during the western boom
are being reclaimed. The most press.
ing demand for helps now in the coun.
try and a vast amount went to waste |
during the last season because the Ia !
Dor required in harvesting was not TO /
be had. Now there is a tide setting in |
toward the country. The income OF |
the farmer is practically assured and |
the demands upon his products are
bound to increase with each year. The
means Of communication are greatly
improved, new and paying crops such
as beet-sugar and northern tobacco
are being raised; the farmer is now in
touch with the world and the outlook
for him was never brighter.

In Sioux City, la.

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. 19.-Ihe safe
in the Arthur Qa.) branch bank of
the Farmers Loan & Trust company
of this city was blown open at an
early hour Tuesday morning by
burglars, who made their escape with
cash to the amount of $4,000. Soon
after learning of the robbery the
trust company took unusual steps to
secure the capture of the thieves.
The officers Of the institution offered
ST 900 for the arrest of the robbers,
and accompanied the announcement
with proposition TO give to the cap
tors the $4,000 taken from the safe if
the money is recovered. The bankers,
it is thought, were moved to this step
by the unusually large number of
similar crimes committed in western
Iowa in the last few months, which
have cost the victims of the burglars
tens of thousands of dollars.

BANDIT SHOT.
Express Messenger Wounds
One of Them.

Trinidad, Col, Nov. 19.-Four
masked robbers held up passenger
train No. on the Colorado and South
ern road IL miles south of this
city Tuesday night. One Of the rob-
bers was shot by Express Messenger
IL. w. Sherwick, of Fort Worth. Tex.
The robbers tagged the train and as it
slowed up they ran alongside of the
engine and covered the crew with re-
volvers. They then compelled Eli
gineer John Guilfri to alight and after
placing a sack filled with dynamite
under the baggage car and attaching
a fuse to the explosive, they ordered
Gnilfril to ignite the fuse. This he at
tempted to do several times, but for
some reason the fuse would not burn.
During this proceeding the robbers
kept upa fusillade of shots in the direc-
ton of the train for the purpose of in
timidating the passengers. While
they were preparing to rearrange the
dynamite and fuse, Messenger Sher-
wick, after eNtinguishing the lights in
his car, quietly opened side door in
the car far enough forward to push
out gun barrel and fired at the near
est robber. The outlaw fell in his
tracks. His startled companions
picked him up and quickly disappeared
in the woods near by. None of the
passengers was molested. The sheriff

the eruptions of Mont Pelee. All of
the estates in the neighborhood Of
the volcano are buried under ashes,
which reach to the tops of houses.
The richest coffee estates are
ruined. The principal losers are the
large coffee planters, mostly United
States citizens and Germans. Two or
three new craters have been formed
on the side of the volcano. There
were no eruptions from the summit.
Pumice and ashes were carried
chiefly in the southern and western
directions. The sea has a coating of
volcanic material extending for many
miles.
The loss of the coffee crop, which
is Guatemala's principal export, has
demoralized commerce and the gov
eminent finances generally.
