BANDITS ROB TRAIN.
Northern Pacific Express Held Up Near
Scene OF Former Robbery.


Scene OF Former Robbery.
BEARMOUTH, June 1.-Two masked
men executed daring and successful
robbery of the east bound North Coast
Limited train on the Northern Pacific
railroad at 1l05 last night, in a Sc.
cluded spot two miles east of this
place. The train was heavily loaded
with passengers, but these were not
molested, the robbers confined their
work to the express car.
The hold-up was similar to the one
in nearly the same spot two years ago
in which Engineer O'Neill lost his life.
The hold-ups boarded the tender Of
the engine at the water tank at Bear
mouth and remained quiet until the
train had gone a mile and a half.
Then they crawled up over the coal
and covered Engineer Wade and Fire.
man Reed with their guns and told
them to throw up their hands. Engi-
neer W ade was then comm anded to
bring his train to stop, and he i'm.
mediately complied. The engineer
and fireman were ordered from their
engine and with the hold-ups went
back to the express car. Before maxi
ing an effort to gain an entrance they
forced the engineer to light cigar.
Then the express messenger was COM
manded to open his door, which he
refused to do. The engineer was next
comm anded to light a stick of dyna-
mite, OF which explosive they had
large quantity, and place the lighted
stick ag ainst the car door. The force
of the explosion completely wrecked
the door and the engineer and fireman
were compelled to proceed with the
holdups into the car.
Once admission was gained, the
holdups at once directed their atten.
tion to the strong box. Five sticks of
the dynamite was placed on top of the
safe and ignited. The force of the
charge was insufficient and another
charge was used. The second charge
exploded with terrific force, blowing
out the side of the car and the safe a
distance of forty feet.
After rit1ing the safe of its valu-
ables, the holdups then commanded
the train crew to remain quiet and
proceed and no harm would be done
them. The men then passed to the
rear of the train and after shooting
the rear lights they disappeared in the
darkness.
The amount of the booty secured is
absolutely unknown, the messenger
having no record of the contents of
the strong box. All the way bills
were carried off by the robbers. The
railroad company has offered re.
ward of So 1000, dead or alive, for each
of the robbers, and the state has added
$500 to this.
One hundred and eighty sticks of
dynamite tied in bundles of ten to a |
bunch and all fused were found at the
scene of the holdup. The spokesman
of the holdups answers closely the
description of the lone bandit who
held up the same train about two
years ago, and his methods were al
most identically the same.

Christmas has its drawbacks as
well as its pleasures, and the back OF

hardly be able 10 bear the strain Of

Dor and make her heart glad. Let it
be hoped that those who have out
grown the old home will remember
the mother and all she did for them
and light her eyes with a letter Of love
and a present, II may be, that she
may know that her long suffering
kindness OF former years Is borne In
remembrance. II a hayward boy is
far from home and friends. and Christ
mas Is not the joyous season 1t once
was to him, let him not forget the
mother In the old home, for she Is the
link that may hold him from worse
folly than he already suffers from.

Graft in Advertising.

\ me of the operations of the adver- Using "fakirs" who live by taking ad- vantage of the widespread desire to get something for nothing are described by Philip Loring Allen in the June Leslie's Monthly. For example, there was the firm, doing business under various names. which offered to pay liberal prices for typewriting done at home. The only condition was that the work should be done on one of the typewriteTs made by the firm, "as we desire to show by actual work the pre- cision and alignment with which 1t writes" Incidentally a nominal de- posit of $2.5O was required for the ma chine, which was elaborately described in the advertisement.
 Now the promoters of this scheme were safe in counting on one fact, that the mental picture conjured up by the word typewriter" would everywhere be that of a machine costing some where between twenty-five and one hundred dollars. In either case a de- posit of two dollars and fifty cents was a just precautiCn. In either case, three cents apiece for short notes without addresses was good pay when paper was furnished free. The typewriter so Slowingly described was d typewriter, but it was toy size. The postal inspec- tor who investigated the case, after d practical test, declared that it would be physical impossibility to write five hundred letters Cn il. The manufac- turers themselves sold this machine for about forty-eight cents-a price rep resenting q margin of profit entirely satisfactory to the swindling com- pany."
 The common idea cf a standard price for a standard article was taken ad- vantage of by the cnterprising gentle man who offered to sell d bicycle for &348:
