1t was because of this pending bill
that Governor Eberhart refused to flx

to investigate the governor because
of his failure to act.
The fact that human life was at

the state more pointed than it would
have been otherwise.
Some Opposition Raised.

st. Louis, March 1. - Two masked
ana heavily armed robbers held ur
an express car on an Iron Mountain
train within the city limits, escaping
with several packages and the money
box, which they removed from the safe
after binding and gagging the messen
ger, M. NJ. McRobbins.
That the train robbers obtained q
large amount of money is believed
though no approximation of the sum
has been obtained.
The bandits boarded the train al
Ivory station, in the southern part OF
the city, and leaped off when the train
slowed down at Tower Grove station
All available patrolmen and detectives
have been hurried to the Tower Grove
district in hopes of capturing the des.
peradoes.
The train had just left Ivory sta.
ton when the messenger, feeling an in.
rush of cold air in his car, went to the
rear of it and found the door open.
Closing it he turned and found himself
gazing into the muzzles of two revolv-
ers held by one of the masked intrud.
ers.
Hands up, and be sure you keep
them there" the robber commanded.
McRobbins elevated his arms and in
. twinkling the second masked man
walked behind him.
"Now you can lover your hands and
put them behind you.' the first man
remarked.
McRobbins obeyed and an instant
later the second robber tied his wrists
securely together. Not content with
this, they tied his feet at the ankles
and while he was prone on the floor

McRobbins, in the position he was
Tying, could see their every movement.
The pair worked with amazing swift.
ness, as If familiar with their task,
and In few minutes had opened the
safe, or iron strong box, and selected
therefrom several packages and the
money box.
When the train began to slow down

cred the parcels selected into his arms
while his companion kept McRobbins
covered with his revOlvers.
The bandits did not wait until the
train came to stop at the station, but
leaped off several hundred yards west
Of the station, in a maze of tracks,
and disappeared.

AMEs COW BREAKS
BUTTER RECORDS.

Two Year Old Guernsey Makes $152
Profit in One Year.
Ten thousand, nine hundred and
sixty-two pounds of milk, Oils pounds
of butterfat, equal to 1873 pounds
of butter, and net profit of $152.09
these are the achievements of the
Iowa State College heifer Rouge End
of Brichfield for the year ending
January 10, 1911.
Rouge End is two year old Guern'
scy heifer. She was imported from
the Island of Guernsey a year ago
last summer by w. w. Marsh of
Waterloo. and was purchased by the
Iowa State College soon afterward.
When she began her test, January
10, 1910, she had not yet fully recov-
cred from the effects of her trip. Had
it not been for this her record would
no doubt have been even larger. As
1t is she has broken all records ever
made by an imported two and one
half year old heifer Of either Jersey
or Guernsey breeding.
Rouge End came Of high producing
families on both sire's and dams
side. She has the typical dairy form,
but she showed no special indications
Of being an extraordinary producer
until after her test was commenced.
Her highest months record was made
In July, when she produced $50
pounds Of butterfat.
The feed given to Rouge End dur
ing the year cost at market prices
1881. The 1878 pounds of butter
at an average price of 30 cents
amounts to $214.13. The skim milk
at rs cents Il hundred comes to $685.
81 making total income of s24l.
Deducting the cost of feed, there rs
mains $1,000 net profit. The calf
and the manure can be safely figured
as equalling the cost of caring for a
COW. As matter of fact, Rouge
ends calf. which was a bull, was
worth more than her milk and but
ter together.
A good deal of the credit for the
record made by Rouge End is due to
the care and feeding she received.
She was fed and MIXED at regular
intervals. The grain feeds given dur
ing the year were corn and cob meal,
bran, gluten feed, oil meal, cotton
seed meal and ground oats. For
roughage she was given alfalfa hay,
a " nd
beets and millet hay. She was also
given pasture during the summer.
These feeds were not all given at
once, but there was enough of a var
iety at all times to keep her from 60
ing of feed.
