Greenfield to Winterset First Line to
Be Built.
Des Moines, May 1.-THE Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroad has
completed survey for new line
from Greenfield, Adair county, to Viii
lisca. It is now surveying a line
from Greenfield to Winterset, and will
soon run third line from Winterset
to Tracy. At this point the new line
will cross the Abba and Des Moines
branch and connect with the Burling-
ton and Northwestern division of the
Burlington. The sixteen miles be-
tween Tracy and Oskaloosa are now
being built When this stretch of
track is completed, which will be with
in few weeks, the Burlington's new
through line from Des Moines to Chi
cago via Oskaloosa will be completed
and fast ChicAgo-Des Moines trains
will be put on.
First among the new pieces of road
making comes the Greenfield-Win
connection. The surveyors have been
in this field for several weeks, and the
line has been laid into Winterset. 1t
centers the Rock Island depot at that
town, and it has been given out that
the Burlington and Rock Island will
operate on Joint track arrangement
between Des Moines and Greenfield.
This will give Des Moines jobbers a
direct line to rich territory that has
heretofore been reached in a rounda-
bout way, at great loss of time and at
heavy expense for shipping. The ter
ridtory belongs to Des Moines whole
salers, but they have not been able
to work it to the best advantage. With
a direct line to Greenfield through Win
terset they will have every opportunity
to make the most of this territory.
Eventually it is expected that the
Burlington will extend the new line
from Greenfield west to Council Bluffs.
This will give the company its third
parallel line across the state from the
MisSiSSinni to the Missouri

Lone Robbers Bold Act In Z Restaur.
ant at West Liberty.

W Anv N WOSt Liberty.
West Liberty, May 15.--A desper-
ate lone robber held up Tom Nc.
Carthy's lunch house, fifty yards from
the Rock Island station, here at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning. Arthur G.
Meade, a jeweler, offered resistance
to the robber and was shot. The bull
let entered his breast near the heart
and caused death. Meade did not re.
gain consciousness after he was shot
and could make no statement.
Mayor Mcintosh and Marshal Wiley
as soon as they learned of the robbery
and murder caused the fire bells of
the city and the factory whistles to
be sounded. The town was aroused
in few minutes. A meeting of the
Infatuated citizens was held. Mayor
Mcintosh presided at the meeting. A
posse was enlisted and men armed to
the teeth are securing the country for
the robbers. FIR @
Night Clerk Morian was in charge
of the restaurant when the maskeG
robber entered with revolver drawn
The robber had no sooner entered than
he began to talk with Meade. Meade
appeared to know the man and the
two were joshing each other about TIE
lateness of the hour. All at once the
robber pointed revolver at Meade
and exclaimed. l.u
Shut your face and hold up your
hands,
"Oh, I guess not" said Meade, ~
parently thinking that the hOld.up was
joke.
We'll, think you WILL" said the
robber, and then there was "bang"
from the pistol, and Meade reeled to
the floor shot through the breast.
There were six or seven men in the
room at the time. None of them of.
fered any resistance to the robber,
who kept his smoking revolver in his
hand and loudly shouted that he would
shoot the liver out of any man that
moved The men who were in the res
taurant were United States mail clerks
and one travelling man, whose names
at this time cannot be learned.
West Liberty is postal division
and there are several postal clerks
laying over here every night. They
eat lunch in the Mccarthy place, often
in the middle of the night.
The unknown robber opened the till
of. the restaurant and took therefrOm
all the cash, amounting to SIS. Before
leaving the place he passed by his
victim.
Il am sorry that had to shoot him"
said the robber. II hope that he
will not die" But while the bandit
was speaking young Meade was breath
ing his last. A rush was made for the
PROSTATE form on the floor as soon as
the robber had left the place. He was
too far gone to make statement.

A Tight Squeeze.

Brazils, Ark, May 1lth.-To be
snatched from the very brink of the
grave is a somewhat thrilling ex-
perience ard one which Mrs. NJ. O.
Garrett Of this place has just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with Cere-
bro-spinal affection. and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest Improvement
For the last twelve months two
doctors were in constant attendance,
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till she could rot walk, and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the great
er part Of the time she was perfect!
unconscious of what was going on
about her, and her heart-broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could pos.
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for box OF Dodd's Kidney Pills. It
was last hope, but happily it did
not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes
Of the remedy. and is completely
cured. She says:
I am doing my own work now and
feel as well as ever did. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved me from

the discharge Of mucous. This is why
Peruna is called tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system a little.
1t gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness from
the loss of mucous.
Ifyou do not derive prompt and salts

Des Moines, May Responding to
public clamor for protection from
rabid dogs, with which the city has
been infested for some time, the city
council met and passed an ordinance
empowering the marshal to order the
police department to shoot and kill
all dogs found running about the
streets without muzZles and wearing
tag showing their owners have paid
the tax imposed upon dogs. The ordi-
nance is quite sweeping in its provis-
ions, clothing, as it does, the chief OF
police with ample power to rid the
community of pest OF rowing ours
which are at once nuisance and a
menace That dog has tag at
tached to his collar showing his owner
has paid the dog tax will not suffice
to preserve his life if found off the
premises Of his master. The council
realized that mad dog with a tag on
his collar was equally as dangerous
as one without tag, and provided
that hereafter all dogs running about
the streets must be provided with a
muZzle as we'll as the tag. Chief Brack-
EFT has issued orders instructing the
policemen to kill all dogs running at
large in violation of the ordinance
mentioned, and the ordinance will
be obeyed to the letter.

The Captains TOlIgate.

1.-THE Captains Tollgate," a posthumous
novel by Frank r. Stockton, is prefaced by
memorial sketch, written by Mrs Stock
ton, which gives an interesting insight into
the novelists home life, his personality
and the hopes and plans of his last years.
The sketch is illustrated with pictures Of
the Stockton homes, 1.-The Holt and
"Claymont," and among the interesting in
formation it offers is Mrs. Stockton's as
surance that Mr.. Stockton never attempted
to solve the problem raised by his story,
THE Lady or the Tiger"
The scene of the story is laid mainly in
that part of West Virginia in which CLAY
mont is situated. The story centers about
Olive Asher, the captains niece, and is
simply a narrative of her experiences with
her various suitors. Her aim in life at the
time of the story is to get married and 1t
is her earnest wish to marry as well as
opportunity Will allow. Between a foreign
diplomat, who afterward becomes count,
a poet whose poems are accepta BILE, pri-
vate secretary and college professor her
choice is necessarily a matter for deep con-
sideration. Stockton handles the complica-
lions and situations arising from the pres
ence of all the suitorS under one roof with
rare delicacy. yet in a very humorous way.
But on the whole while 1.-The Captain
Tollgate' is interesting book to while
away leisure moments, ii will never take
a place in the readers heart with the Rud-
der Grange stories, and some of Stockton 5
