masked bandits derailed the fast west
bound express train on the Chicago.
Rock Island and Pacific railroad three
miles west of here this morning. They
detached the engine and express car
and two miles farther wrst drove the
messenger from the car Of the United
States Express Company. The robbers
then dynamited the safe. and secured
all of its contents. making one Of the
richest hauls on record in this section.
One car is now off the track and the
express car is a mass of ruins.
So far as known, none of the passen-
ers was molested, but it is feared that
harm Defell the express messenger. At
this station two suspicious characters
were seen to board onla of the coaches.
The scene Of the robbery is a lonely
spot heavily screened from the sur
grounding territory by a dense growth
of timber. 1t was at this point that the
fiagman ran back when the train was
stopped. One mile east there is a small
switch yard, where switch engines are
stationed. The fagman hurried there,
and the engine crew conveyed him to
Davenport.
The train carried express matter
valued at thousands of dollars, and this
fact was evidently known to the rob
bers. It'l *l''1V VNl
The officials here say that unless the
nights business was exceptionally
small, there might have been any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 in the
companys safe, besides other valuab'es
of no inconsiderable value.
After wrecking the safe. the robbers
mounted the engine and ran down the
track. 1t was reported that they left
the locomotive at small station CALI
ed Ruafflo, and escaped in the dark
ness.

You Taste with Your Throat.

The idea that the sense of taste has
any connection with the throat appears
peculiar ut first thought. We have been
possessed with the notion that the
sense of taste Mes in the tongue and
the palate. We all speak Of fine pal.
ate, and many persons express aston.
ishment that they can enjoy II dclicacy
as we'll after having had a plate fitted
to their mouths by n dentist as they
could before they paid visit 10 that
clever gentleman.
The sense Of taste is not confined to
the tongue and the palate, but Is more
widely distributed. You taste also with
the epiglottls, that little valve at the
base Of the tongue. and the larynx. to
which the epiglottis acts as an assist
aut. also takes part in the process.
Concerning the palate, it Is noteworthy
that we taste with the soft part, which
Is at the back of the mouth, but not
with the hard or front palate. That ex.
plains the mystery of the dental plate.
The tonsils do nothing for the sense Of
taste. nor does the uvula.
