Burlington v Iyer Hold up.

FIVE amasked men held up the Bur.
lington flyer five miles north ofSt Joseph
last night, says Kansas City special Of
the 23rd. The robbers tagged the train
with red light, and as soon as it was
stopped, one Of the man uncoupled the
express car and engine from the rest of
the train, and at the point of revolyers
the engineer was compelled to run the
car mile from the train. The robbers
then proceeded to sack the express car,
with the aid of dynamite. 1t required
only few minutes for the robbers to
obtain the money and valuabIes in the
car, and they left it wrecked. They
then set off across the country, and al
though officers and posse were after
them in short time, they were not
overtaken.
1t is difficult to obtain information
from the Adams Express company con-
corning the ROBBERY. The local police
are on the lookout for the robbers. Au-
gust Lewis, the engineer, and his fire.
man, were not injured by the bandits.
Report places the loss of the express
company as high as $1,000. The rob-
bers had a wagon in a convenient thick
ct, near the railroad track, and hauled
the booty away. They escaped across
the river into Kansas. Two thousand
dollars reward has been offered by the
express company for their capture.

Stock Jobblng.

We very much dislike to see the un-
wholesome tendency towards stock job.
bing which is apparent in all the mining
camps of the Hills, and as far as we can
ascertain in all the mining districts of
the west. OF course every mine in its
incipiency needs money for develop
ment purposes and it has been found
that the easiest way to raise the neces-
sary funds is to form stock company
| and sell the treasury stock for the devel-
opment and betterment of the property.
| This procedure to limited extent and
! for an honest purpose is all right, but
we object to the abuse of the practice,
and to the extent to which it is being
carried.
We have in mind as we write a mine
which has been stocked, and we are told
that 100000 worth of the shares of treas
ury stock have been sold for the devel.
opment of the mine. Less than $4,000
of this money has been expended on the
claims and the rest has been paid out in
high salaries, high commissions, and the
devil knows what all. The stockholders
are discouraged, the mine is undevelop-
f, ed, and from all appearances it,was never
the intention to work the mine for the
gold it contains but to work the pockets
Of the innocent investor for the gold
therein contained, and let the mine be
idle. This manipulation if kept up land
( it is being kept up) for great length Of
time will kill any mining camp in which
it is practiced, and is at this time one of
the greatest set backs to which the min
ing sections of the west are subject. 1t
seems to be difficult disease to which
to apply cure, as within reasonable
bounds it is legitimate, for when the
money is honestly applied on the mine
tits benefit and a blessing, and when
not thus applied it is robbery and a
curse. 1t is ruinous to the good honest
miner and mine owner, and when he
sells his mine he is generally required
to take little money and a large share
of his pay in stock. The management
of the mine is then beyond his control,
and most often he knows nothing of
what is going on, and yet in the enevit-
able disastrous wind up he is blamed for
being in the game.
How then to destroy the evil and pre-
serve the good is the question. We re-
gret that we cannot at this time suggest
plan that will fairly meet the case. 1t
seems to be matter ofcommon honesty
among those who are on the inside to
| fleece those who are on the outside, and
! if a man is not decently honorable, it is
hard TO make him so by law.

of the South Dakota national guard, who
has been in Deadwood for several days
past left Wednesday evening, accompa-
MED by his wife, for Rapid, where they
will remain short time, as the distribu-
ton and checking up of the equipment
recently received by the company at that
place will necessitate General Conklin's
presence. After concluding his work at
Rapid, Mr.. and Mrs. Conklin will 60 to
Hot Springs, where they will stop
for few days en- route to their home at
Pierre. General Conkln spoke very en-
couragingly of the outlook for the Black
Hills militia stating that the companies
have all been well supplied with their
new equipment, and the first annual en-.
campment will be held at Whitewood in
July. The meeting of the troops of Ma
tional Guards at that place will last for
seven days. Governor Herreid and
other speakers have assured General
Conklin that they would attend, which
promises a very interesting session.

A Season of Prnanaritv.

Mr.. VIM. Tarrant returned on Monday
last from the east whittier he went to at
tend the funeral of brother. Mr.. IT,,
who has been absent for several weeks,
Travelled quite extensively through the
states of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and
Wisconsin. In speaking Of the times
and the condition of the crops in the
different localities he says. The whole
Mississippi valley is enjoying season of
great prosperity. Wisconsin beats every
other state for corn this year. Illinois
is very backward and portions of Iowa
the same, while in Nebraska the corn
crop was good and well matured. Kan
sas will also have great corn crop ex
cept the districts which were flooded
with water. In all of these states, how
ever, the yield of small grain, while
large was still ungathered in the field
and largely damaged by the excess OF
rain. Both North and South Dakota
have excellent crops of all kinds and the
frost had done no injury as yet in any Of
the localities he had visited, but it was
certain in that large portion of Illinois
and Iowa the corn crop would not have
time to mature.

N oted Man Dying.

James Wardner, the famous mining
man, for whom Wardner, Idaho, and
Wardner, B. c., were named, is dying of
blood poisoning in Milwaukee hospital.
While on recent trip with a party of
capitalists through Nevada, Wardner
drank from streani hy the roadside. A
cyanide plant discharged into the stream
just above and Wardner swallowed some
of the chemical solution used ia the cya-
nide process. To this Is ascribed the
origin of the disease with which he is
afflicted. Wardner appeared in the
Occur d'Alenes in 1883 after a varied
career east and west. While broke, and
after visiting capitalists in Portland
Spokane and San Francisco, in futile ef-
fort to get them to invest in concentra-
tor, he stumbled upon Governor Sam
Hauser of Helena, who put up the money
for the concentrator's construction.
Wardner cleared $4,000 with the estab-
lishment of the camp at Wardner, when
the concentrator was built there. He
later established the town Of Wardner,
B. c., and has been rich and poor sew
eral times. mining Review.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have been sold and
used. 1t has long been the standard
and main reliance in the treatment of
Group in thousands of homes, yet during
all this time no case has ever been re-
ported to the manufacturers in which it
failed to effect cure. When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse or even
as soon as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is pleasant
to take, many children like it. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently
to baby as to an adult. For sale by all

1t is reported that the Rothchilds are
endeavoring to obtain control of the
Homestake mine at Lead and have of
fered S25,000,000 for the property, and
that the offer has been refused. Tie
Homestake stockholders do not want to
sell, but when such financial concern
as the Rothchilds desire to purchase a
property they can do it. The only ques-
ton is whether they are willing to pay
the price, which we understand is $4O,-
100000. We read that the Rothchilds
