%a DEED OF LONE BANDIT| HOLDS UP OCCUPANTS OF THREE COACHES AND SECURES AP- PROXIMATELY $2,000. FINALLY CAPTURED BY CONDUCTOR LATTER REFUSES TO THROW UP HIS HANDS AND ATTACKS THE HIGHWAYMAN. Kansas City, Nov. —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 tweaty passengers in thiee cars of the fast eastbound combination Chicago and Alton-Chi- cago, Burlington and Quincy passen- ger train. After half an hour’s work he secured approximately $2,000, be- sides sever#l 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 robber’s hand and forced him to the car floor. The rob- ber 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 a mask. Levelling 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- plied and when the robber placed the stuif teneath his belt and proceeded to give his command in a 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 % the passengers In the smoker of their| belongings he passed to the door, keep- ing them covered. It was a twentyr, five-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 a moment later. Through the chair car the rob- ber's tactics in the smoker were re- peated. Next he entered a sleeper and began again his command to the luck- less passengers to surrender their valuables. Conductor Haywood appeared upon the scene here and the robber, with the command, “throw up your hands,” pointed his revolver at the conductor’s breast. Instead of complying the con- ductor, quick as a flash, knocked the revolver from the robber’s hands, threw himself upon the man and bore him to the car floor. The two men struggled fiercely, while the passen- gers were instantly in a panic. Finally the dozen male passengers in the car came to the conductor’s aid and the robber was literally pinned to the floor. When Armstrong was reached at 12:50 a. m, a 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. CARUSO MAY APPEAL. Court of General Sessions Signs Order to That Effect. New York, Nov. 27.—Judge O'Sul- livan, in the court of general sessions, has signed an order granting a right to appeal from the decision of a police magistrate in the case of Enrico Ca- ruso, the Italian opera singer, who was found guilty in the municipal court of annoying women in the monkey house at Central park and fined $10. The court proceedings were very brief. There was no grgument. Ca- ruso did not appear in ‘erson.. 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 singer’s conviction are recited. It is stated in the application that Mag- istrate Baker committed a legal error in visiting the monkey house, giving sufficient grounds for a new hearing, as he thereby became a witness in the case. A copy of the affidavits will be served on the district attorney and on Maglstrate Baker, who, under the law, has ten days in which to make his re- turn. Upon the filing of the mag- istrate’s return, copies of which must be served upon the district attorney £and on the defendant’s counsel, coun- sel for Caruso and the district attor- ney will confer and agree upon a date for the hearing of the appeal.

Late News of the World By Wire Domestic--Foreign--F inancial--Social--Political and Commercial : saewr ron suasca o pEAGE REIGNS IN GUBA Recommendation of Army Officer on Duty There. Washington, Nov. 27.—Army officers who have investigated destitution 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 a statement from Captain Eli A. Helmick of the Tenth infantry, sta- tioned at Fort Liscum, Alaska, recom- mending that the Indlans be placed under a 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 fo eke out a lazy and trifling existence.” General Ainsworth expresses the opinfon 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- ernment deals with other Indians in this countr: EFFECT OF NEW RATE LAW. Majority of Schedules Filed Show Re- duction in Charges. ‘Washington, Nov. 27.—The new rail- road rate law, passed at the last ses- sion of cengress, has had a wholesome effect in the direction of reducing charges for the transportation of com- modities in Interstate commerce. Since the new law became effective, on Aug. 28, schedules to the number of 133,002, both passenger and freight, have been filed with the interstate commetce commissicn. Of the total 61,000 schedules relate to freight traffic, embracing hundreds of thou- sands of single rates. It was said authoritatively that 80 per cent and probably 85 per cent of rates made since Aug. 28 were reductions of pre vious charges. In nearly every instance where ap- plication has been made for permis- sion to change a rate on less than ‘thirty days’ notice a desire to reduce freight charges prompted the railroads to make such application.

Cincinnati, Nov. 27.—An early an- nonncement of wage increases, vary: ing according to the class of labor, is understood to have been the agree- ment reached at a joint meeting in this city of the head officials of most rail- roads centering here.

GOVERHOR MABOOH MUCH GRATIFIED OFFICIAL REPORTS SHOW PER- FECT TRANQUILLITY AT ALL POINTS. ‘Havana, Nov. 27.—With the capture of the Cienfuegos band of eight men, who took to the woods under ex-Chief of Police Ruis, the last vestige of dis- order in Cuba has disappeared. Ruis was at first reported to have a large following. but the capture of the men referred to has proved this to be un- true. The reports received by Governor Magoon from all parts of the island show that perfect tranquillity pre- vails. There is not even the faintest rumor of trouble anywhere. Investi- gation of the report that bands of in- surgents were operating in the vicin- ity of Palmyra and Guines prove them to be unfounded. The dispatch of a detachment of American marines to Palmyra is explained as being simply rison in accordance with the plans made a week ago. Mr. Magoon is much gratified at the peaceful condi- tion of affairs, which he believes will continue, and thus completely restore confidence ‘and prepare the way for proceeding with the work of re-estab- lishing a stable government. Washington, Nov. 27.— Secretary Taft has received the following dis- patch from Governor Magoon at Ha- vana: R “Band from Cienfuegos overhauled by detachment of rural guards under command of Captain Landa. They were taken into custody and disarmed with difficulty and are now being brought to Cienfuegos. The band was composed of eight me 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- tion of Philadelphia, in opposition to the diversion of waters from the Ni- 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 a 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 offi- cers of the American Civic association a number of others were present to protest against the diversion of wa- ters from the falls to the amount that the grandeur would be interfered with.

GRAND LARCENY ALLEGED. « Trlal of Mutual Reserve Life Official Begun. ; New York, Nov. 27.—The trial of George Burnham, Jr., counsel for the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance com- pany, who was jointly indicted with his Urother, Frederick A. Burnham, president of the company, and George D. Eldridge, vice president, for grand larceny, began during the day in the criminal branch of the supreme court. Burnham is alleged to have paid $7,500 to Nicholls & Brown, attorneys for F. B. Armstrong, who w; an agent and policyholder of the Mutual. The payments appeared on the books of the company as a contract between Armstrong and the Mutual when as a matter of fact, it is alleged, it was in settlement of a suit brought by Doug- las Wells, a vice president of the company, against Frederick A. Burn- ham as an individual. Attorneys for the prosecution en- deavored to have all three of the in- dicted men tried jointly, but to this the defense objected. In the .course of the examination of talesmen as jurors they were asked whether they knew Senator Platt and various other persons. Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in selecting jurors. Talesmen who had read reports of the insurance Investigation and formed opinions on the conditions in the insurance com- panies ingeneral were promptly chal- lenged by the defense. TWIN CITIES THREATENED. Breaking of Ice Gorge in River Would Cause Much Damage. St. Paul, Nov. 27.—A 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 gerge 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 its 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.

REFUSES . TO OBEY ORDER. American Strike. Leader Told to Get Out of Cznada, ! Chicago, Nov. 27.—The United States government has been asked to furnish protection for a labor leader engaged in conducting a strike in an- other country. .

A great many Americans, both men sand women, are thin, pale and puny, with poor circulation, because they have ill- treated their stomachs by hasty eating or too much eating, by consuming alco- holic beverages, or by too close confine- 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 a result. fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts long. The demand for nutritive aid is ahead of the supply. To insure perfect. health every tissue, bone, nerve and muscle should take from the blood cer~ tain materials and return to it certain others. It is necessary to prepare the stomach for the work of taking up from the food what is necessary to make good, 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 cer- 1 tain in their cleansmi and invlgm—afinF effect upon the stomach, liver and bl These are: Golden Seal root, Queen’s foot, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake root. Then there is Black Cherrybatk. ‘The medicinal principles residing in these native roots when extracted with glyc- erine as a solvent make the most relia{fle and efficient stomach tonic and liver in vigorator, when combined in just the right proportions, as in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Where there i8_bankrupt vitality —such as nervous exhaustion, bad nutrition—and _thin blood, the body acquires vigor and the nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the favorable effect of this sovereign remedy. Although some physicians have beén aware of the high medicinal value of the above mentioned plants, yet few have used pure glycerine as 2 solvent and usually the doctors’ prescriptions called for the ingredients in varying amounts, with aleohol.
