ROBBED A PULLMAN.
A Lone Man Heavily Masked Went Through the Rear Sleeper of
 Rock Island Train.

Kansas City, Nov. 10-A lone rob Der, heavily masked, boarded the rear sleeper of eastbound California limited train on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, known as No. A, between Slater and Glasgow. Mo, at 11:5S Thursday night, robbed three passengers and escaped in the dark ness. According to the local offices of the Pullman company, the robber secured but S65.00. Among the three men forced by the robber to disgorge was E R. Slagle, of Kansas City, as sistant superintendent of the Pullman company.
 The robber, who is described as being tall and wearing a long black overcoat and a mask. boarded the rear sleeper at Slater. When the train had gained headway. he entered the sleeper, an observation car. He en countered l.. s. Pearson, Pullman conductor; c. w. Roller, flagman and R. Wood, negro porter, all oi Chicago. Leyelling two reyolveTs at the trio of trainmsa. the robber com handed them to proceed ahead oi him and wake up the passengers. As his command was carried cut, the robber forcing the conductor, porter and flagman ahead of him, se- cured what booty he could in his hurried march through the car. Waen he had reached the front end of the car. he started for the second Pullman. The porter, however, had managed to get far enough head of the others to make dash for the second car and slammed and locked the door in the face of the robber The train was then at point about one mile east of Glasgow. Realizing that he could proceed no further witt his work. the robber pullo the air rope While the train was slacken- ing it's speed he jumped off and dis apI cared in the darkness.

 "It is generally believed that grape vines have to be cut back to only few punches in order to do well. As one of the exceptions to this rule your readers will be inter- ested in the accompanying photo graph showing a vine in our yard that is fully sixty feet long that is loaded with fine fruit as illustrated ill the photograph. ]"
 The Judds came to Mena from Crowley, La, year ago to make their permanent home, having been here many times previous, and have done much toward building up the town, never tiring of speaking in it's praise.
 The publication in the Prairie Farmer will certainly attract wide and favorable attention to Polk coun- ty and prove a help in building g Greater Mena.

 The importance of the work Of the commission can not be oyeresu mated. It will be in session here three ar four days and perhaps a week. There is definite plan ana determination not to adjourn until conclusion shall have been reached and definite plan adopted upon Wnicn all members of the commission are agreed. That plan will probably pe the one which during the coming ses- sion of congress will be embodied ln- 10 law.
 It is an open secret that President Roosevelt has purposely delayed writing that important part of his message to congress dealing with the financial question, so he could nave advantage of the recommendations oi this commission of bankers. The rec ommeraalions of this commission, T is believed, will be reflected in the presidents message.
