PASSENGERS HELD Up


Kansas City, Nov. l0.-A lone rob
Der heavily masked boarded the rear
sleeper of the eastbound combination
Chicago and Alton-Rock Island Cali
fornia Limited train known as No
"a between Slater and Glasgow. Mo,
shortly after midnight Thursday
night, robbed the passengers OF a
sum placed at between S100 and
$500, and escaped In the darkness
The train left Kansas City Thurs
day night at 9 o'clock and was due
to arrive in Chicago at s O'Clock Fri
day morning The robber, who is
described as being tall and wearing
a black overcoat, boarded the rear
sleeper at Slater. When the train
had gotten well under way he en-
tered the sleeper observation car
bound through from California
where he encountered the Pullman
conductor and porter, and at the
point of a revolver commanded them
to proceed ahead of him and wake
up the passengers. The sleeper was
well filled.
As the demands were carried out
the robber kept the conductor and
porter ahead of him, Systematically
relieving the passengers of money,
watches and jewelry. When he made
his way through to the front end of
the car he started for the second Pull
man Before the robber could en-
ter the second car the porter slam

The train was then at point about
one mile east OF Glasgow. Realizing
he could proceed no further with his
work, the robber pulled the air rope
and while the train Yves slackening
its speed he jumped off and disap-
peared in the darkness.
Early yesterday morning officers
started out from Glasgow, Slater and
Kansas City to trace the robber. The
territory in which he worked is thick

BAB>' COVERED WITH SORES.
Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh un-
less Hands Were Tied-"WouId
Have Died But for Cuticura."

"My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on IS face. I had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come on
his arms, then on other parts of his
body, and then one came on his chest,
worse than the others. Then called
another physician Still he grew
worse. At the end of about year
and half of suffering he grew so bad
I had to tie his hands in cloths at
night to keep him from scratching the
sores and tearing the flesh. He got to
be a mere skeleton, and was hardly
able to walk. My aunt advised me to
try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I
sent to the drug store and got cake
of the Soap and box of the. Oint-
ment, and at the en-, of about two
months the sores were all we'll. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely say that only for
your most wonderful remedies my
precious child would have died from
those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has trav-
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason Of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler Of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his FEM
inine helpmeet; cringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
Of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat.
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every Guilty..
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for.
ests of valuable woods and the under.
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth Of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds OF miles to ind. He IL con-
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he well be otherwise
than content? It is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its Incompatible fea
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to underst md their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by a class of immigrants
better capable Of Judging it's possibil
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the "lay of the land"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wea tn of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-.
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

attaching a strip of zinc one inch
wide and IA long over the exist,
shown at G. For deep hives it might
be advisable to make the chute little
deeper than six inches, in order to
bring the flight of outgoing young
bees down nearer to the entrance
shown at F, thereby causing them to
mix up with the field force going in
there; but in no case should the exit
G be nearer to the entrance F than
inches; for if brought in direct con-
tact it might induce some of the bees
to go back by the route they came,
though the perforated zinc acts as a
great check on such an attempt.
In using this device there are three
different systems of manipulating, any
one of which can be used with good
results. The one l use mostly in my
own apiaries is, think, the best and
easiest for extracting colonies; but

POULTRY FEEDING.
,st Rule Is Common Sense-Give
Fowls Food That Is Nourishinq.

The best rule for feeding poultry is
common sense; the health and useful
ness of fowls does not depend on fol
lowing rules so much as on getting
an adequate supply of palatable food
Changing the food several times daily
Is no better than making the same
changes as often each week. This
may be seen from the rules prac-
iced by successful poultrymen, says
he Orange Judd Farmer. Notice the
'ollowing:
Mash of bran and middlings, bran
and corn meal, bran only, various
grains ground together. These va
ious mashes fed morning noon or
light, in amounts varying from a
spoonful to crop full. Some poultry
nen give no mash at all. Again, some
;eep beef scraps before the fowls at
ii times, others give an ounce every
econd day. Some give as much green
'one each day as the hens will eat;
hers half an ounce on alternate
ays. Some mix grit, charcoal and cut
lover with the mash, others feed
hem separately. It's up to you; but
our neighbor may have equal success
y an opposite practice. Principle is
bove rule.

Sectional View OF Hive.

for comb honey either of the others
Is better Just as soon as a colony
makes preparations to swarm | be-
gin work. Selecting one comb and
adhering bees / make sure that the
queen is not on 1t. This comb should
contain two or three cells well started.
l now place this comb in the center
of the hive represented by b, and fill
up the vacant spaces with empty
combs or full sheets of foundation, as
bees working under these conditions
can not be depended on to build
combs. / now place the dividing
board in position, as shown in the
illustration, and set hive A over it.
Mailing on the chute completes the
operation for the present, except that
a record of the stage of development
in which the cells were at the time of
manipulating must be kept, and
should be marked on the hive SO as to
be readily seen. With this record to
go by, the hive can be opened at the
proper time and all cells cut, except
one of the best. The hive is then
closed, and requires no further atten-
tion until time to remove the dividing
board and reunite the colony, which is
as soon after the young queen begins
to lay as possible.
