WAR ON TRAIN BANDITS
Armed Guards to Patrol Outlaw
 Range Tn Wyoming.
EACH MAN DEAD SHOT AND NERvY

Union Pacific Railroad Organizes
 Trains From Raiders - Especially
 Equipped Car, With Horses Ready,
 Can Be Hurried to Danger Place on
 short Notice.
 To clean up the worst bandit belt in the country is the task to which the Union Pacific railroad has set itself, says a special dispatch from Denver to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The fiat has gone forth from headquarters that the organized bands of train rob- bers that have operated in the bad lands of Wyoming are to be extermi- mated.
 To secure this result Tim Kelihers company of mounted rangers has been formed to patrol the tracks of that railroadNin in the outlaw storm center be- tween Medicine Bow, Wyo., and Green river. Armed guards ride every passen- ger train. A special car and engine lie in the railroad yards at Cheyenne, Wyo., ready at moments notice to transport fast horses and hardy riders to the scene of action. The industry of train robbing is to be suppressed at all costs
 The suggestion that armed guards ride on every passenger train was made first by W l.. Park, superintend- ent of the Wyoming division of the line, after the Wilcox and Tipton rob- berries of 1909 and 1900. This plan was shortly afterward put into force by W. T. Canada of Omaha, chief of the se- cret service of the Union Pacific sys- tenn. The result has amply justified the precaution. From that day to this there has not been robbery in the protected territory. But the Union Pa cif1c proposed to make assurance dou- bly, sure. To that end Tim Keliher's ranger company has been formed to patrol the bandit belt" which stretch es from east of Rawlins to Green river through rough, sparsely settled coun- try favorable to the operations of train robbers.
 This company is composed of picked men. Every one of them is dead shot, a good rough rider and lis nervy as they make them" It costs the Un- ion Pacific about $1,00O a month to maintain its ranger service, but the U. F. fliers go screaming through the Bad Lands of Wyoming without fear of bandits, for on every passenger train guards sit nursing repeating rifles, and somewhere along the line between Cheyenne and Green river is the ran- gers. car, loaded with fast horses and determined officers, ready to take up the trail as soon as electricity has flashed the message of the robbery.

BAKING A HAND TO SAVE IT

Woman of Scranton, Pa, Undergoing
 Heroic Treatment In a Hospital.
 To regain the use of her right hand Miss Lucy O'E1ara of Scranton, Pa, is having 1t baked in 300 degrees of heat for half an hour every other day in St. vincent's hospital sat@New York. Owing to tue absence Of moisture in the high temperature the tissues are able to withstand the high caloric and the patient, although she winced at first under the ordeal, is able to un- dergo the treatment with little dis comfort, says the New York Herald.
 She is about to win years battle for the restoration of member which twice was to have been removed She has resolutely refused to; consent to an amputation, and the physicians at the hospital say it will now be ques- tion of only few weeks before her hand is almost if not quite as good as it ever was. W
 Miss O'Hara contracted septicaemia s year ago through pricking her hand while washing clothes. The hand sweIled to twice it's natural size and several operations were necessary. Sur geons believed the only means of saw { ing her life was by removing the hand. The poison was thrown out of the sys- tenn finally, and the hand was left shrunken. Miss O'Hara had practical ly no control over 1t.
 She was advised by her physician to go to St. Vincent's hospital where the baking process is being successfully used for rheumatism The hand is laid in a steam jacket and the tenn 2erature is gradually raised. Every day the member is massaged for an hour, and every week the patient is put under the influence of an anaes- thetic, the fingers are drawn out and Ghe bones and muscles subjected to q kneading process.

OLD MEN WHooP IN SCHOOL

 of Indian Tells I'm Early Days.
 Children attending the Jones school, Harrison street and Plymouth court, in Chicago, were recently treated to a realistic presentation of Indians on the warpath when Alexander Beaubien and Fernando Jones, who had been invited to give a lecture on Indian customs and manners, broke forth into blood curdling medley of redskin yells and war whoops which made the girls turn pale and the boys shudder, says the Chicago Post.
 Alexander Beaubien, the first white child born in Chicago, and his chum, Fernando Jones, preceded their blood- thirsty outburst by programme of stories of the old days when Indians erected their wigwams around the walls of Fort Dearborn. MT. Beau bien's story of how he killed an Indian brave who was seeking his scalp at the age of eleven proved particularly fascinating.

The extension of the long distance telephone to the ranch lands, following as it did the settlement of the COW country, was the first shock to the nourishing industry of train robbing. Since the whereabouts of the escaping desperadoes could be telephoned from point to point In advance of their ar- rival it became necessary to abandon the more settled portions of the coun- try for their fields of operation.
 There were established what became known as bandit belts" One stretch cd across Texas to Arizona along the Southern Pacific line. Another zigzag- ged through the Colorado mountains to the country about the well known Rcb- bers' Roost. A third--and the most dangerous of nll-belted Wyoming in the rough COW country, where lie Jack sons Hole and the notorious Hole in the Wall. Heregnmong the Tetons, as the Big Horn mountains are called, far from civilization and the long arm of the law, lurked strange population composed of cattle rustlers, highway men and fugitives from justice. The Hole in the Wall especially was nat ural fortffication, and, what was of more avail to the desperadoes who in- fcstcd it, every settler was at outs with the law
 J No sheriff's posse could invade its sa- cred precincts and hale forth crimi- nal The news of the pursuit would be whispered apparently on the wings of the wind, and long before the daring sheriff had reached the spot his quarry had hunted cover. If the officials got back to civilization alive they were in luck.
 The headquarters of the rangers are at Cheyenne, where thespecially equip ped car is kept when not on the road. This is nothing more than n freight car fitted up for the accommodation of the patrol guard. One end of it serves to accommodate the horses, while the oth- CT is fitted up for the men. In 1t are a number Of portable cots which fold up into package that can almost be put in a pocket These, of course, are never taken on the trail, but are used to sleep on while the special is carry ing them to the point of action.
 A score of blankets, some cowmen's saddles, pack saddle and panniard, a rack for arms, dozen canteens, tin stove and small larder complete the equipment of the car. In this minta- ture pantry are always kept coffee, ba- con, flour, salt and the inevitable can- ned goods. While on the trail the ran- gers sometimes kill COW to fill out their larder. A gang plank for unload ing the horses is always carried along. The horses have become so accustomed to this that they run up it as naturally as those in the fire department fall into harness.
 The chief knows where each of his men is, and within thirty minutes of the time of receiving wire the ran- gers special is hurrying through the night at fifty miles an hour with a clear right of way over every train on the track.

JAPANESE VEGETABLES.
Cultivation Of Udo VIII He Under

Cultivation or Udo Will He Under7
 taken on n Farm Near Seattle.
 Two greenhouses are being erected by Japanese company of Seattlel Wash, on the Crystal Springs farm, on) Bainbridge island, for the cultivation of Japanese plants available in SeattleI market for commercial uses or delica-' cies The preparations for the expert ments. in the growth of Japanese prod ucts are being made under the direc- ton of member of a Japanese SiIa- porting and exporting firm and under the guidance and assistance of the az ricultural department of the United Stats government, says the Seattle Times.
 The first experiment will be made with the cultivation of udo, Japanese plant similar in some respects to celery and asparagus, though possessing q flavor different from either. It is used extensively in winter salads and is a delicious vegetable. Orders have been placed in Japan for two variei of udo, and the agricultural department will supply other plants. Udo Is be- ing grown in California, and the gov- ernment has expcrimentsd with the plant.
 Steps will be taken to introduce ssn- cho, spice somev at similar to red pepper, though pvssersing differ~nt qualities. Wasabi, a Japanese product comparing more nearly to horseradish than anything else of American cui- ttlre, will be introduced at 10 l. sn- bridge island farm.
 Japanese water lilies will be grow. as soon as steps can be taken to intro duce them, and other flowers, tnclud- ing chrysanthemums, are to be inc troduced later. The growing of flow CTS peculiar to Japan is a branch of the industry that will follow If other ex- periments meets with success.
 The Japanese firm expects to be able to cultivate bamboo on Bainbridge is- land. 1t is believed by agricultural department officials and members of the Japanese firm that the Washington climate will encourage the growth of bamboo. If bamboo can be raised on Bainbridge island successfully 1t will greatly encourage it's use in light fur niture and other uses to which 1t is put in Japan and other oriental couns tries. The growing of bamboo will not be attempted at once, however.
 The property taken by the Japanese firm is held under lease. 1t includes 160 acres lying on the south side Of Bainbridge island.

Buddhist Missionaries I'm Jap Army.
 Tn every division of the Japanese ar my number of Buddhist missionaries are preaching the noble gospel of their master, says the Light of Dharma. Among the naval stations and squad rons many Buddhists have also been working. Since the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war more missionaries have been sent to the front to assist in this work than were formerly connect d with army and navy.

General Oyama an Excellent Judge.
 When Field Marshal Oyama, chief of the Japanese general staff, was judge advocate he attended ball at Tokyo one night, says the London Mirror. He was standing near doorway when q beautiful European woman swept by, and so greatly did her charms impress Judge Oyama that he exclaimed in- voluntarily. What lovely womanfv She overheard him. With little smile, she looked back over her shoulder and, recognizing him, said, What an excel- lent judge!'

TOKYO, July 17.-An important per-
BOnage cOnhded to me the other day
that OF all the difficulties the japanese
government has ben compelled to con-
tend with since the beginning OF the
war, the most perDleXing were the
newspaper men and the American
nurses. They did not want either 10
come here. Both have been ineXpres-
sible nuisances. but they could not be
abated for many reasons, chief Of
which was a desire 10 make both be-
lieve that they were cordially welcome.
In dealing with the war correspond

made very serious mistake, and by
their lack OF candor have provoked
Indignation and enmity when they
might have had good VIII and friend

on both sides.
