if you like. They will stand up, sit down.,
move their legs and arms in any direction,

has signed an order granting right
to appeal from the decision of police
magistrate in the case of Enrico Ca
russo, the Italian opera singer, who was
found guilty in the municipal court of
annoying women In the monkey house
at Central park and fined $40.
The court proceedings were very
brief. There was no argument. Ca
russo did not appear in Person.. The at
torneys who represented the singer in
the hearing in the municipal court ap-
peared before Judge O'Sullivan and
presented their application, sworn to
by Caruso, in which the details of the
arrest, the court proceedings and the
singers conviction are recited. It is
stated in the application that Mag

in visiting the monkey house, giving
sufficient grounds for new hearing,

case.

served on the district attorney and On
Magistrate Baker, who, under the law,
has ten days in which to make his re-
turn. Upon the filing of the mag
1strate's return, copies of which must

SECRETARY TAFT OBJECTS.
Refuses to Listen to Criticism of Army
Engineers.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Secretary
Taft Of the war department declined to
listen to any reflections upon the in
tegrity of the corps of army engineers
and by emphatic interruption changed
the course of arguments being made
to him by J. Horace Mcfarland, pres
ident of the American Civic associa-
ton of Philadelphia, in opposition to
the diversion of waters from the Nj
agara river for the creation of power
for the transmission of power from
Canada to the United States. Mr..
Mcfarland had found fault with state
ments alleged to have been made in
newspaper interview by Captain
Charles w. Kunz of the corps of engi-
neers, who investigated for the war
department the applications of per-
SONS and corporations for permits to
divert power. In addition to the Off
GERS of the American Civic association
a number of others were present to
protest against the diversion of wa
tiers from the falls to the amount that
the grandeur would be interfered with.

TWIN CITIES THREATENED.
Breaking of Ice Gorge in River Would
Cause Much DAMAGE.


Cause Much Damage.
st. Paul, Nov. PA deluge of back
water held in the Mississippi river by
an ice gorge at Anoka threatens the
Twin Cities.
: The gorge formed Saturday night,
when the warm weather loosened the
thin ice that had formed during the
preceding week, and the back water
at Anoka is now over twenty feet deep.
Should the warm weather continue
and the gorge give way the rush of
water would do considerable damage
to property along the river in the
Twin Cities and elsewhere.
If the water forces it's way through
the ice gradually no damage will be
done. -.
The back water has half submerged
and rendered useless the, waterpower
on the Rum river, which enters the
Mississippi near Anoka. ~,
Residents of Anoka do not recall an
ice gorge previously forming at this
time of year or of a time when the
rise has been so rapid.

AGENT FOR ALASKA INDIANS.
Recommendation OF Army Officer on
Duty There.

Recommendation OF Army OH'cer on
Duty There.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Army officers
who have investigated restitution
among the Copper River Indians in
Alaska are of the opinion that govern
ment assistance will injure rather
than benefit the Indians. In the an
nual report of Major General F. C.
Ainsworth to the military secretary,
which has just been made public, he
includes statement from Captain Eli
A. Helmick of the Tenth infantry, sta
toned at Fort Liscum, Alaska, recon-
mending that the Indians be placed
under government agent who shall
determine to what extent relief should
be afforded by the government.
Captain Helmick said that the prac-
tice Of giving aid to Indians "encour-
ages them to hope for assistance that
would enable them to exc out lazy
and trifling existence"
General Ainsworth expresses the
opinion that the Alaska Indians could
be cared for best by placing them un-
der the department of the interior and
dealing with them much as the gov
eminent deals with other Indians in
this country.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
holic beverages, or by too close confne-
ment to home, Office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result

rich, red blood, We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet Ger

These are: Golden Seal root, Queens

The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable

right proportions, as in DR.. Pieree's

HOLDS UP OCCUPANTS OF THREE
COACHES AND SECURES AP.
FORTUNATELY $4,000.
FINALLY CAPTURED BY CONDUCTOR
LATTER REFUSES TO THROW UP
HIS HANDS AND ATTACKS
THE HIGHWAYMAN.

Kansas City. Nov. 27.-One of the
most unique and daring train robberies
in the history of the Southwest was
committed 100 miles east of Kansas
City early in the day. Between Slater
and Armstrong, Mo-, a distance Of
twenty.one miles, a masked man, sin
gle handed, robbed twenty passengers
in three cars of the fast eastbound
combination Chicago and Alton-Chi-
cago, Burlington and Quincy passen-
ger train. After half an hours work
he secured approximately $4,000, be-
sides several watches and other pieces
of jewelry. The man finally was over
powered by E. B. Haywood, the train
conductor, who knocked a raised re-
volver from the robbers hand and
forced him to the car floor. The rob-
Der was bound, made to disgorge and
four hours after the robbery was COM
mitted was placed in Jail.
The train reached Slater at mid
night and when it started out of that
place five minutes later the robber
boarded the smoking car. His eyes
were covered by mask. Levell1ng a
revolver at two passengers in the seat
nearest the door he ordered them to
pass over their money and valuables
and to do it quickly. The men COM
piled and when the robber placed the
stuff beneath his belt and proceeded
to give his command in loud voice to
the man in the next seat forward the
car full Of passengers was thoroughly
aroused and ready to comply. When
the robber had
systematically Robbed ..,rs
the passengers in the smoker of their
belongings he passed to the door, keep
ing them covered 1t was a twenty,
ive-minute run from Slater to Glasgow
and he awaited the arrival at the lat
ter place. AS the train stopped at
Glasgow he swung off and boarded the
chair car as it rushed by moment
later. Through the chair car the rob-
ber's tactics in the smoker were re-
peated Next he entered sleeper and
began again his command to the luck

valuables.
Conductor Haywood appeared upon
the scene here and the robber, with
the command, throw up your hands,"
pointed his revolver at the conductors
breast. Instead of complying the con-
ductor, quick as a flash, knocked the
revolver from the robbers hands,
threw himself upon the man and bore
him to the car floor. The two men
struggled fercely, while the passen-
gers were instantly in a panic. Finally
the dozen male passengers in the car
came to the conductors aid and the
robber was literally pinned to the
floor.
When Armstrong was reached at
1880 a. m. marshal boarded the
train and the prisoner was tied hand
and foot and taken into the station.
He refused to talk, except to berate
the passengers for cowardice and to
declare that Haywood was the only
nervy one among them. The money
and jewelry was taken from him and
after more delay and confusion among
the excited passengers the train con-
tinued.
