GALLOWAY AUTO BANDITS
Four Men in Hight Powered Car Speed
From Fulton Toward st. Louis.

L
FULTON, Mo-, Sept. 15.--Automo-
bile bandits early Sunday morning
robbed the Henderson Department
Store Of merchandise valued at 8, 20
taking the best goods in the establish
ment. Later they were detected in the
act of filing their automobile tank at
a gasoline station on the public square.
When Policemen Gooldy and James
attempted to stop them they fired
upon the officers, who returned the
fire. The officers did not know then
that the store had been robbed. Four
men were in the auto. It is believed
they had a women confederate AMI
that she was hiding in the machine.
At Williamsburg, IL miles east of
here, Harry Reid, a merchant, formed
a posse, after he had been apprised
of the robbery and tried to stop the
bandits, but they passed through the
town at a speed of so miles an hour.
The thieves, who are believed to be
part of an organized gang working
in Missouri, evidently were headed fer
st. Louis.

KILLED IN WEST.
Former Mexico Girl Victim of Wind
Storm in Oklahoma.

Manitou, Okla, Sept. 12.-Mrs.
Felix Arnall who resides three miles
west of Manitou, was blown from the
porch or her home during a heavy
rain and wind storm at s o'clock
Thursday evening, September II, and
sustained injuries that resulted in her
death shortly afterward.
Mrs. Arnall noted the approaching
storm and ran upstairs to close a door
leading to the porch. She had just
stepped out on the porch when the
gale struck the building.
Efforts were made to convey intel
ligence of the disaster to Mr.. Arna.l,
who was out of the state, but he was
on the way home from St. Louis in his
motor car and was ignorant of the
tragedy in his home until his arrival
m Manitou at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing. When informed of it he was al
most Frustrated.

BALL BROKE
LOCAL BOYS ARM SUN.

William "BilT" Mckinney, son Of
William Mckinney, formely of this
city, was playing baseball at Seed
Tick Sunday afternoon. He was pitch
ing for the Mexico team and the game
up to this point had been practically
even. He swung his right arm several
times in varied directions about his
head going through that necessary mo-
ton termed in base ball phraseology,
1.-THE w%ind-up". His hands were
brought together and he adjusted his
fingers rapidly but carefully for a wide
Out-curve that should fool the wait
ing batsman. Balancing himself he
flung his body forward intending to
send the ball toward the plate. In.
stead, it described a curious arc and
went away in the direction of the third
base. The arm that had pitched the
ball hung limp at the side of the pit,
cher broken in three places.
This completes one of the strangest
and most freakish accidents that has
ever happened in this community, At
rare intervals only does such a thing
happen. No one seems to be able to
explain it or give any reason but the
twist that was to have been imported
to the ball was given to the arm in
stead by some unknown movement
and the member was broken.
Mckinney said he did not know how
it happened. All he knew was that he
attempted to pitch and his arm work
ed all right to a certain point and then
caught. The member is severely brok-
en- but is not painful and he expects
to be we'll before many weeks. The
nearest approach to this in freakisn
accidents was several years ago when
one of Mexico's respected citizens
broke his leg trying to pull his boot
on.

other in different parts. Do you real
ize that Alaska is nearly one-third as
large as the entire United States
proper? There is eternal fog on Beh-
ring Sea, while at many points from
the 10Th to the oath of June the sun
never sets, but sinks to the horizon
almost directly northward, becomes a
dull red, hesitates a few moments, and
then slowly rises again in the east.
There is a high mountain system near
the Coast, then a high plateau, and
finally a region of great plains.
Alaska means mainland or PENN
sula, and is the extreme northwest
part of North America, being separ-
ated at the narrowest point of Beh-
ring Sea from Siberia by less than
fifty miles of water. 'Skagway' is ar
Indian name meaning the home Of the
north wind.
The chief industries of Alaska are
mining, fishing and fur hunting. The
chief minerals are gold and copper.
The fishing industry is confined prin-
cipally to the cod, halibut and salmon,
The seal and sea otter are extremely
valuable for their fur, and the walrus
is also hunted for its ivory tusks. The
United States Government is now
raising large herds of reindeer, which
the natives use both for food and as
a means of transportation.
The most-talked-o person in Skag-
way is 'Soapy' Smith. He was the
most notorious outlaw that Alaska has
ever produced. He operated, through
organized confederates, and succeeded
SO well in maintaining an outward ap-
pearance of responsibility, that he
was mayor of Skagway at the time ne
was killed in a gun ARRAY, by a mem
Der Of the citizens Committee which
had been organized to rid the town of
| him and his gang.
Juneau is by far the best and most
interesting town we visited. 1t is the
capital of Alaska and has about five
thousand people in it. Here, are loca-
ted three of the largest gold-quarts-
mining plants in the world, each nav
ing a capacity to handle over $4,000
tons of ore daily. One of these mines
alone has produced mineral of the
value of more than three times the
| purchase price of Alaska, to-wit: ST.
20O, 1000.
Here are first class restaurants
hotels, banks and stores of all kinds
as well as good roads and paved
streets, giving Juneau the appearance
of an u~p-to-date prosperous American
town.

\ Dear Colonel:
Skagway, Alaska, August 2Oth,--Thls
is the land of gold and glaciers; the
8and Of icebergs and the Eskimo; the
land of fish and furs; the land of the
totem pole and the midnight sun; the
land of the moose and the caribou; the
land of high mountains and beautiful
lakes; the land of Northern lights and
L live volcanoes; the land of the mount
ain sheep and the reindeer of Santa
Claus renown.
/ The most wonderful volcanic region
in the world lies in Alaska. Near
@ Katmai is the famous valley Of Ten
"a Thousand Smokes. This smoky vapor
is caused by countless eruptions from
active volcanoes, and is, without quest
NSn, n of the wonderful spectacles
which the eye Of mar had ever looked
upon. There are more than a dozen
hctive volcanoes in Alaska.
Skagway is exactly n thousand
miles by boat from Seattle, and one
hundred miles less from Vancouver, b.
C. 1t took us four days and nights
each way, to make the trip. The route
j is an inland passage, winding in and
out among countless islands with two
! short stretches of the open ocean
y Mystery and silence are the two chief
characteristics Of the North, and one
feels constantly that the call of the
North has brought one into an entlr-
ely new life.
/. The route is a tortuous one. Through
countless, bays, straits and nar1ows, ii
twists and crceps, until finally it slips
1 through the neck of Lynn Canal W
to the sands of Skagway. Sometimes
the islands and the mainlands almost
touch the boat, and again they arr
/ miles away. So exceedingly tortuou'
lis the route that frequently there arr
nat only mountains on the right an'
y6A left, but in front and behind al
Ateil, keeping one constantly guessing
whether the next turn is to the RICH
or the left.
Most Of the route has foothills, GOV
cred with frs and pines skirting tn

iestic s~now-capped mountains tower
ing in the background.

is one of tender beauty, while the 9TH
er half is one of rugged grandeur
with the glacier and iceberg below
and the bald peaks of granite tower
ing above for the trees have now be-
come dwarfed into mere shrubs, and
frequently there is no growth at all
on the upper portion of the noun
tains.
Skagway, White Horse and Dawson
Cities are all painfully remindful of
Goldsmith's Deserted Village Skag-
way had five thousand inhabitants
during the rush for the Klondike Gold
fields in 1898, but now it has only a
bout four hundred. White Horse form
erly had ten thousand inhabitants, but
has only about one hundred and fifty
now; while Dawson City had at one
time, a population of no less than
twenty thousand, it now has barely
fifteen hundred.
From Skagway to White Horse one
may easily follow the old trail where
thousands of gold hunters 'mushed' it
in 1898. All along the trail n will
see abandoned huts and the bleached
bones of countless horses which per-
ished in the famous Dead Horse
Gulch.' One can not help thinking
that of the thousands who brave!y
faced the hardships of this perilous
trail-buoyed up by the love of gold
before their eyes-the vast majority
we're sorely disappointed; others per-
ished by the wayside, while only a few
so very few-were adequately re-
warded.
Skagway is is beautifully located on
a bay, which has a tide of twenty
feet, and is surrounded on the other
three sides by snow-capped mouti'
tains and glaciers. Here, we saw as
beautiful flower gardens, consisting OF
roses, dahlias, sweetpeas, pansies, etc.
as we have ever seen anywhere.
We found the climate about th'
same as that of San Francisco at thi.
time of the year, and we have never
eaten better strawberries or raspber
ries than those grown in Skagway.
We saw one glacier which is seventy
five miles long, forty miles wide am
two hundred and fifty feet thick. Thii
glacier moves about two feet per day
and huge blocks are constantly break
ing off and floating down the channe
as huge icebergs,--of a torquois blue
large enough to crush any boat tina
sails these waters. Alaska has All
other glacier which is said to be a
large as the whole of Switzerlad, Will
there are thousands of smaller ones
from one to fifteen miles long.
1t also has Mt. Mckinley, reaching
up to the dazzling height Of owe
90, 900 feet-nearly five thousand fee
above Pixies Peak; and the Yuko'
, River, which is over 2100 miles long
with its source at Lake Bennett, wher
we had lunch.

At Ketchikan, Alaska, are no less
than thirty-fve fish c~anneries, which
are literally putting up at this season
of the year, hundreds of thousands
Of cans of salmon daily, TO be shipped
to all parts of the world, as well as
great quantities Of cod and halibut,
which are put into cold-storage and
shipped away to the various markets.
All in all, whether viewed from the
standpoint of scenic beauty or edu-
cational interest, we doubt if q more
restful or delightful water trip may
be had in all the world, than that from
Seattle to Skagway, over the placid
waters of this inland passage, through
various straits, bays, sounds and can
ais.
The fact that Alaska was bought
during the administration Of Andrew

HOW TO BE RID OF
DANGEROUS DANDRUFF

If you have dandruff you must get
rid of it quick-it's positively danger
Gus and will surely ruin your hair if
you don't.
Dondruffy heads mean faded, brittle,
scraggly hair that finally dies and
falls out-new hair will not grow
then you are hairless and nothing
can help you.
druff for good is to destroy the germ
The only sure way to abolish dan.
that causes it. To do this quickly,
surely and safely, and at little ex-
pense, there is nothing so effective as
Partisan sage, which you can get from
good druggists everywhere. It is guar.
anteed to Danish dandruff, stop itching
scalp and falling hair, and promote a
new growth, or the cost, small as it is,
will be refunded.
Partisan sage is a scientific prepare
tion that supplies all hair needs-an
antiseptic liquid neither sticky OF
greasy, easy to apply, and delicately
perfumed.
If you want beautiful soft thick
lustrous hair, and lots of it, by all
means use Partisan sage. Dent delay
= begin tonight a little attention
now insures abundant hair for years
to come.-Adv.
