 None of the passengers were molested, and it was evident that the bandits had designs only on the safe in the express car. They entered the car and quickly open ed the safe, securing the contents. The express messenger was kept covered with revolvers during the proceeding.
 After taking what the safe con- tained, the bandits appeared satis- fled. Pulling the bell cord, they left the train as it slowed up at |; point about three miles west of Hardy.

ADMIRERS OF MAGAZINES.
People in Far-On Countries Make Much of American Picture
 Publications.

An American traveller who ex- plored the northern part of Sibe. ria states that he found in the hut of a Korak peasant a picture of Mayor Dix cut out of d copy of Harper's Magazine. The mayors picture was enthroned on a wood en shrine, and adored by the Korak and his family as their household deity, says Woman's Home Companion.
 This is probably the most ex. treme case on record of yenera- tion for magazine page. But 50 years ago in this country it was not uncommon to find a single copy of magazine being read by 15 or 20 families every month, and regarded by all as an infallible au. thority.
 It is said that when the shah of Persia visited England several years ago it was one of his chief delights to buy a dozen magazines and tread the pictures. As there are only about 5000 people in Per sia who can read and write, his amazement at the number of mag aZines is not surprising.

STATE GUARD INSPECTION
General Order Issued by Adjutant General Charles Jacobson
 Giving Instructinns.


 The following general order re- lating to the inspection of the Arkansas State Guard has been is- sued:
 Headquarters Ark. State Gnard,
 Little Rock, Ark. March 1. 1905.
 The annual inspection conducted under special orders No. 15, head quarters Southwestern Division, Oklahoma City, 0. T., will be held in this state beginning April 10. ending April 2S, 1905, and one of the objects of this inspection is to ascertain what organizations are sufficiently armed, uniformed and equipped for active duty in the field, and 1t is obviously very diff iicult to arrive at a correct conclu- sion of this matter unless the en- tire strength of the command IS present at the inspection.
 Another object of this inspec- tion is to enable the secretary of war to determine what assistance under the act approved January 21, 1903, the organized malitia of this state is entitled to from the United States.
 It is expected that every man now enrolled as member of the Arkansas State Guard will be present at the coming inspection, and company commanders will be held strictly responsible for the carrying out of this provision. No excuses will be granted for ab- sence, except on certificate of dis ability from reputable physician
 Commanding officers will report all absentees to these headquarters, immediately upon conclusion of the inspection.
 It is desired that the enlisted men who have removed from the jurisdiction or others who are un- reliable be either dropped from the rolls or discharged before time for the inspection.
 Arms, equipments and uniforms must be placed in the best possible condition, and company quarters will be made neat and tidy.
 It must be remembered that un- less the companies inspected fill the requirments of the Dick bill, the aid furnished by the general government will be withdrawn.
 The commanding officers will at once take steps to see that these provisions are fully carried out.
 By command Major General Haynes.
 CHARLES JACOBSON,
 Adjutant General.
