Nothing Was Taken.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Sept 23.-Burlington
G. Missouri River train No. Al, west
bound, was held up last night by four
masked men five miles north Of this
city. The safe in the express car was
blown open with dynamite, but Ex-
press Messenger Westphalin says 1t
was empty. The train was tagged
and the robbers forced the engineer to
pull the express car away from the
train before using dynamite. AS soon
as the engineer stopped he and his
fireman were covered by one of the
men, while the others proceeded to the
express car and demanded that door
be opened. The express messenger re-
fused to comply. After shooting at the
car the robbers pried off the door of
the car and climbed in. The messen-
ger commenced shooting, but was
quickly overpowered, after which the
robbers turned their attention to the
safe. A charge Of dynamite was placed
against the door and exploded. The
safe door was blown oft, but in the ex-
plosion one of the robbers was badly
hurt. Passengers on the cars, hearing
the noise. rushed out Of the day coaches
and to the express car. The robbers,
seeing that there were too many men
to attack, fed into the fields along the
track and escaped.

TT is THEIR DUE.
Gov. Udell Talks of Government
Aid to the Farmers.
The National Congress Mt Niagara Falls
Listens to nm Address Touching the
Obligation OF State to Citizen
and Woe Versa.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept 23.-The
Farmers National congress assembled
here Tuesday in twenty-third annual
session, being called to order by Pres
ident Flanders, of Albany, N. Y. Gov
Odell delivered an address of welcome.
Gov. Odell said in part: 1.-THE rec
ognition which has been given by the
national and state governments to the
farming interests of our country might
at first glance appear to be in the d.
rection of paternalism, yet it is as i'm
portant in its effect rs any legislation
which can be enacted for the benefit OF
the people as a whole. 1t Is as much
the duty of the government to aid In
the development Of the soil OF the
country as it Is to protect its artisans
against unjust discrimination or I'M
fair competition at home or abroad; to
aid in promoting the material welfare
of its citizens as 1t Is to stamp out
disease or epidemic which may threat
en- the lives Of individuals. This en-
enlargement which the government ex-
tends does not lead to dependent
spirit, but rather makes our citizenship
more self-reliant and more patriotic"
Gov. Odell entered plea In behalf
of politicians and public officers whose
efforts are directed to the peoples good
and protested against carping criti-
cism and the assumption that because
a man is q politician he is necessarily
dishonest. In conclusion he said: 1T
is your duty to use your influence and
your power to better the conditions
and to win back to useful membership
by the force of example those whose
environment has not been such to
make of them good citizens; to use the
power which you possess in the halls OF
legislation to correct abuses which
may exist and to aid in the fight which
is being made by the philanthropic
and benevolent people against disease
and crime among those to whom Gods
bright sunlight is almost unknown; to
aid those who do not enjoy the adj
vantages necessary to give them that
conception of what liberty in our coun-
try means, that understanding SO es-
sential to good citizenship"

the mother country, Great Britain.
At the present time in Victoria, it is

excess of births over deaths being more
than counterbalanced by the emigra-
ton. so that in 1902, according to the
