TRAILING BAND
 OF TRAIN ROBBERS Who Are Supposed to Have Se- cured Big Booty in Their Hold-Up of Frisco EX-
 press Train.

Mammoth Spring, March G. Superintendent Agee of the Southern Express Company with several detectives was here Fri day and struck a hot trail of the robbers who held up Frisco train No. POI at Flickinger last We'd nesday morning.
 Thursday night two tramps came to the Marshall distillery at the outskirts of Mammoth Spring and in paying for a bottle of whisky displayed a large roll of bank bills that would probably run into several thousand dollars. While they were at the bar drinking a small son of MT. Marshall opened one of their va lises, out of curiosity, and found two fine Colts 44-calibre revol- vers.
 They had evidently been trav- cling on foot all day, being very tired. They remained at the dis tillery a while and left at dark, saying they were going to Pop- lar Bluff, Mo.
 When Marshall gave the de- tectives a description of these persons today they remarked that they were the men they had been looking for. From the size of the roll of greenbacks they had, it is evident that they made a much larger haul than the ex- press company is willing to give out, which probably accounts for their reticence on the amount taken from the car.

IN SOCIETY,"

CLOSE OF PRE-LENTEN SEASON..
 The dawn of Wednesday morn ing will usher in the forty days known in Catholic and Episcopal religious circles as Lent. It is a time set aside by them as pe- riod of quietude and prayer, pre- paratory to the Eastertide.
 This year Easter is very late, and the social season has been of extra long duration and has been one of unusual brilliancy, and the society-goers, whether Pro- testant or Catholic, will no doubt be glad of a little rest before the advent of the Eastertide.
 There has scarcely been a dull afternoon or evening since Thanksgiving, when the mem- bers of the Newport club for mally opened the social season with their third annual Thanks giving ball, but notwithstanding Lent is on there will be a number of delightful social events and some of the clubs will keep up their regular weekly meetings.

Salvation Army Served .
Christmas Dinner
TO A VERY HAPPY CROWD
Also Distributed Baskets Of Provisions
Among Families Which Needed
Them the Most in
Town.

At the Salvation Away barracks yes
terday afternoon 40 people were served
with an excellent dinner, and 81 din
ners were sent out to those who We're
sick ard unable to attend. Most &c
those who were fed at the barracks were
children, and Of all the happy peoplc
in the city on that day, 1t is safe %
say. that these young people were the
most happy. The good things disappear
ed as only children can put them out OF
sight. The tables were laden with ey
cry imaginable thing which is good to
eat, and yet most of the children tried
everything. They were encouraged by
the corps officers to cat all they wanted
and enjoy themselves as much as they
could and they certainly did enjoy
themselves
The members Of the local corps acted
as walters and were kept on the Jump
to keep the little people served, but the
grateful look on the faces Of most Of
the children was all the pay the faith
ful Salvation Army workers wanted for
their charitable services.
Besides the dinners which were served
in the hall, 81 sirlS people were carried
dainty meals. The gratitude shown BY
some Of those who had been confined
to the ohuse for a long time almost
brought tears to the messengers Of mcr-
cy who delivered the good things. The
work of the Salvation Army is GER
tainIy most praise deserving.
