FINGER FOR A NOSE.
Looks All Right But Owner Cannot
Breathe Through 1t.

New York, Dec. 24-Doctors at the
academy of Medicine have agreed that
in a crowd a finger can pass for a nose
without detection. A man on whom the
experiment was tried of grating the
third finger of his left hand onto the
place where his real nose had been de-
clared himself today as pretty well sat
isfied with the substitute. The new
members has been constantly massaged
recently until it is assuming a true
nasal shape hut it cannot be bored
through to let breath in. As now
grown there is no trace of the nail and
the doctors are specializing as to
whether the possibility of one growing
ut the tip of the finger made nose has
been avoided.

STORIES OF HOLDUP.
AS Told by Trainmen and Passengers
on the Hummer.

Kansas City, Dec. 24.-Members of
the crew and passengers on the Hum
mer when it arrived here at 1890 this
morning told interesting stories of what
robbery within sight of the big dome
of the Illinois state capitol"
Z" Git back in that car
This order punctuated with revolver
shots was the first intimation I had
that anything was going on" said j.
B. Boyd, conductor.
1.-The train had come to stop just
beyond the lies tower, and L stepped
down as usual. Before it dawned upon
me a man standing down the
track in the moonlight yelled what S
the matter.
Il got back into the car. The rob
ber's two bullets impressed me. 1 had
heard bullets could sing. I know it
now. The passengers in the chair car
were getting scared by this time.
locked all the doors of the train and by
the time got to the back of it 1 could
see Flagman Roller running down the
track for help.
The two bandits. one masked in a
white handkerchief and the other in a
blue, had by this time forced the engine
crew to uncoupIe the engine tender and
made them move this part of the train
down the track about 300 feet. Why
they did not go farther away I do not
see them plainly in the moonlight.
TT seemed only a short distance over
the tops of trees to the state capitol.
Light Flashes From Capitol
1.-THE bandits lined up engineer, fire
man and Express Messenger Ayres be-
side the front part of the train, then
while the man with the blue mask kept
them covered and fired down the side
of the train occasionally the white
masked robber got into the express car.
He fired five shots of nitroglycerin and
dynamite before he gave up.
ct seemed not more than twenty
minutes after F'lagman Roller started
for help when I saw the red light on
the dome of the Springfield capitol
flash out its warning which means to
the police that something big is hap
pening I knew this meant aid would
soon be on the scene but apparently
the robbers did not They dragged out
one canvas sack of paper, evidently
under the impression it was money,
and after rifling it and scattering it
over the ground started away across a
meadow. They had not yet disappear
ed into a corn field beyond the moon
lit meadow when F'lagman Roller ar
rived with a posse on switch engine.

planned that the guests might dance
in the rotunda of the state house-or
at least such a plan had been suggest
new governor. Hodges voted against
the ball.
The state officers will assemble at
the Throop hotel at II o'clock the
morning Of January 10, according to
the present plans. A parade, headed by
bands and mounted police, will leave
the hotel at 11:S0. The new state Off
GERS, members of the state committee
and men prominent in the political af-
fairs of the state, will ride in the au-
tomobile parade that follows the bands
and mounted police from the hotel to
the state house.
Hodges will be inaugurated as gov
ernor promptly at noon. In the even
ing the Democratic state committee
will hold a public reception in the
state house. At that time visitors may
meet the new Democratic governor and
the various Republican state officials.
Plans for handling large delegations of
visiting Democrats are now being con-
sidered. 1t is believed that the out
of town attendance at the Hodges in
auguration will exceed the attendance
at any gubernatorial Inauguration in
recent years. It has been a long time
since a Democrat sat in the governors
chair and the Democratic voters from
ever the state propose to make the
most of the occasion.
A complete program for the inaug-
ural ceremonies will probably be an
nounced sometime next week.

Small receipts of cattle last week after

put back before the end of the week
Steers above medium grade did not i'm

of cattle, and stockers and feeders closing
weak to 20 cents lower for the week Shin

hibtt continued confidence in the future
of cattle prices, as their purchases here
last week We're upward of 1900 head,
which was twice as many as went to the
same trade corresponding week last year
The market on country grades is firm to-
day, tops selling at 1915 to $7.15, about one
dollar higher than a year ago. Buyers of
stock cattle take into consideration that
one-third of the winter has been passed

wyoming heifers $500, range bulls $4.75 to

order for the next ten days.
Hog receipts dropped down 40 per cent
last week, which was enough to turn the
market upward Prices gained 10 to Is
cents last week from the low point, and
5 cents was added today, top $7.421z, bulk
$7.O5 to $7.35. Feeders are satisfied to put
on weight at present prices, and a liberal
portion of the run is good heavy hogs.
This is the usual order when there is
plenty of corn. Packers show indifference
as soon as urgent orders are filled, and
the close is generally weak each day,
showing the way buyers will act If the
run increases.
Sheep and lambs declined % to IS cents
last week, account of fairly liberal runs,
and the competition of poultry and game
on the market. Prices are higher today,
it comes to predicting future markets. A
shipper paid $3.50 per head in New Mexico
for lambs to be delivered this week, the
highest price ever paid in that state; they
weigh about 65 pounds there. Top fed
lambs here today bring $3.50, yearlings

ALLOWANCE OF
$4,000 a MONTH
FOR EXPLOSIONS

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 17.-John T
Butler, Buffalo, n. Y, vice presiden
OF the international Association O
Bridge and Structural Ironworkers
testified as a defendant at the dyra
mite conspiracy trial today.
AS the most prominent union ofticia
next to President Frank NJ. Ryan
Butler is charged with sanctioning an
allowance of $4,000 month to j. J
Mcnamara to pay for explosions, in
Guiding those at Los Angeles.
Butler testified he heard of four en-
plosons in Buffalo on the work of
open shop contractors. Il was in
Buffalo when one of these explosions
occurred" he said. Il learned of the
others only through newspapers and
never knew who caused the destruc-
ton of the work Dynamite or viO-
lence never was considered in the
councils of the union
In connection with the explosion Of
the Municipal building at Springfield,
Mass. in April, 1911, Butler is ac-
cused of meeting Ryan. Michael j.
Young, Boston, and other officials at
Hartford, Ct, to discuss explosions.
Butler identified letters written by
him to Mcnamara about various cX-
penditures. BY saying in one letter

care to put in writing" Butler said he

ne BELIEVED
EVERY HAND WAS
AGAINST HIN

Santa Ana, Calf, Dec, 17.-The un-
usual pallor of the desperate who was
shot to death by militiamen yester-
day after he stood off u sheriff's posse
for hours, killed Under-Sheritf Squires
and wounded three deputies, led to
the belief today that he was recently
released from a penitentiary. This
was strengthened by the armament
found on the dead man and his evi-
dent preparedness for desperate
events. He carried a high-power rifle
and revolver and a big supply OF ann
mnnition. Up to noon today, however.
no progress toward the identification
of the desperate had been made. 1t
was hoped various postal orders and
scraps of paper bearing the names of
Oregon towns found in his pockets
would aid in solving the mystery.
Albert Prather, one of the wounded
deputies may die Of his injuries but
the other two will recover. The con
dition of Myrtle Huff, the girl attack
ed by the unknown man before his
battle with the deputies, was said to-
day not to be as serious as at first re-
ported.
