The Pacific Express officials declare, as usual, that the loss is small. It is known, however, that the proceeds of aeale of 7,000 cattle were for- warded on this train to-night, and the run of express matter to Wich- ita and Coffeyville was unusually heavy. Conductor Carr and Engi- neer Slecum were in charge of the train. It is reported that the pas sengers were not disturbed, and no one was injured. Poeses of marshals have gone to Leeds on a special train.

He said aday or two ago that be was expecting another train robbery. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Til., makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she wasa hope less victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found her- self sound and well as she ever was.
