THE BOOMERS Are Searched by the Hot Winds of the Guthrie (O. T.) special: Thousands upon thousands of people are still ar-i-iviu g uituy 10 enter me promiseu iana, and the situation is indeed getting serious all along the line. With from 4,000 to 12.000 people lined up at each registering booth and the clerks all tired out to start with, little headway is being made and the lines are longer tnan ever, ine temperature 102 in the shade, hot winds blowing clouds of dust, with a scarcity of water and prospect of spending a long time in line have disgusted many and fully 500 people have boarded the trains and left for their homes.

Indianapolis special: Chief of Police Colbert received word that Bill Dalton, the notorious train robber from the West, and a gang of ten men were found in a box cr.r at Romona, a small station on the Indianapolis and Yinoennes Railroad, about forty-three miles southwest of the city. Posses were sent down the road but nothing further had been heard of the robbers. It is believed that after they were discovered they bolted south to the hills of Morgan or Brown County. This country is so wild that it will be as difficult to get the gang as it was when they left Kendallville, for it is supposed that Dalton's gang is the one that held up the Lake Shore express. It is said that Dalton originally came from the southern part of the State and it is believed that he is trying to reach friends or relatives in the southern hills. Declinlnc Insurance Bisks on Farm Property. A special from Pern, Ind., says: There is every reason to believe that most of the large fire insurance companies doing business in the northern portion of the State are seriously contemplating the advisability of ceasing to write the class of business known as farm risks. The majority have ceased writing this class or have applied such restriction around agents so as to make the acceptance almost an impossibility. It is the larger companies remaining which make a specialty of this cias, that are wishing to withdraw. Tire at Pittsburgh. The wholesale grocery store of J. C.

IROST MEN ARE AROl'SKD.

Mentha Itange Consolidation Has Stirred Them to Immediate Act-Ion. It Is a royal battle between glauti now, No sooner had the clotalls of the Mesaba range consolidation between iho Tluluth and New York Interests been telegraphed over the country than tho loading officials of the Minnesota Iron Comi nny stirred themselves. The Minnesota Iron Company has been eagerly at work for the past few months, since It began to realize the Hesaba's proposition. One of tho leading spirits of the Minnesota said that Another combination as strong as the .Rockcfellcr-Morrltt combination would bo perfected soon and that the Minnesota would bo the nucleus. Iho Minnesota is capitalized at (16,900,000, whilo there will lie from $23,000,000 to S:tO,000.000 nt consolldated stock Tho Minnesota owns the Duluth and Iron lianso Kail way, reaching both ranges, while the consolidated owns the Daluth, Mesaba and Northern.

Conditions Continue to Show Im provement. R. a Dun & Ca's Weekly Review ot Trade says: Improvement has extended from the banks to the mills. The condition ot great Industries has distinctly niendod, though still seriously depressed. More important by far than any rise In stocks is tho fact that more works hare resumed during the last week than have stopped operation, so that the producing force of Iho country after months of constant decline has be gun to increase. Dispatches mention twenty-eight textile and thirty metal works which have resumed, some only with part force, whilo twenty-five textile ana nine Iron worm nave stopped. It is ex pected that most of tbo Fall River mills will start soon, tho hands assenting to re duced wages. Tho money market Is more healthy, the premium on currcnev has almost vanished, the embarrassments In domestic exchanges hnvo wcU-nl'li disappeared, and while llttlo money Is yet available for commercial or Industrial loans there Is some relief In that respect alia RIVALS JESSE JAMES.

ROBBERS' BIG HAUL.

ASTOUNDING RAID ON A LAKE SHORE TRAIN. The Hauillts dot 830(1,000, Khoot the Engineer, and Make Their Escape Inadequate Howard Offorfd by the Road They Were Professionals, Story or the Deed, When tho Atlantic express on tho Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, which left Chicago at 7:45 o'clock Monday evening for "New York and Boston, reached KM1er, Ind., nt 12:40 o'clock, it was stopped by an opon-switch (signal. A gang of' men b,)arded tho trnin, shot Engineer Stowavt Knapp an-.l blew opou the United States Express Company's safe with dynamite, stealing its vontent'. It is believed that these amount ad to nearly $300,000, including a shipment of $250,000 from a Chicago tiu NonYork bank. Tho robbery was a bold one, though it was probably tho work of a gang of tramps, according to the belief of tho best-known thief catchers. The train carries expross, mail, day ooacheB, and sleepers. It is the ho iviest express train on tho road, and frequently carries a half million dollars in currency and bullion. This fret must havo been known to tho robber, as they were prepared in every way to make a big haul. Tho robbors numbered eighteen or twenty men, till armed and prepared for their desperate work At the fall of the engineer, who was shot in the back by a in v- ked man, who boarded the lt-cornolive from the opposite side, tho fnvman was covered with a Winchester and ordered at tho cost of his life to stop the train, which ho did. When tho train stopped Messenger Weist thought tho train had reaelud Kendallville, and throw open the south door to unload and tako off express matter, but seeing that it was tho siding ho apprehended danger and slammed it shut; but almost at the same instant there was a loud report and the north door of the car flew off its hinges by the "xplasion of dynamite cartridges. ' Messenger West "and his helper, named HamSlin, tveve covered with Winchesters nd ordered to opon tho small safo. which they did. In the meantime ten masked men, all armed, had entered the car, threo of whom went to work boring holes for dynamite cartridges in the large sufo in which all through shipments of money and bullion were kept. The work was accomplished in a professional manner and speedily. In a few moments sftor tho explosion of the cartridge tho large safe door 'ell to tho llotir, opening up a large amount of money and bullion, which the robbers proceeded to lead themselves with, together with that found in the small safe, which was taken on at local sta tions, and amounted to several thou sand dollars. No attempt was made to open tho inner vault to the largo sale, whore the bulk of the currency was kpt. Jnresldent and General Manager J. Newell, of the Lake Shore Kailread, has ordered that 2,000 posters be printed offering $1,000 for tho capture and conviction of the robbers, and that thoy bo posted broadcast over the country. Ha also ordered that advji-tiso-nienla offering the ramo reward be published in all local news) apers along tho line of the Lake Shore Railroad between Elkhart, Ind., and Toledo.

Oats wero advanced H cents, l'ork was bid up to cents. Nearly everything closod at neirly top prices. Thero was more excitement of a legitimate order thitn any day since Cudahy and Wti-rht tumbled the first week in Atign t. There wad a surpr'Bi in the official figures on wheat. Prom tho August figures the crop was figured about ;!8,V 000,000 bushels. Then the mouth was so excellent for the late harvest that tho trade thought tho final Soptember report on condition and viola would raise the total to 400,000,00). insto:td, tho average was out to 74 per d nt. of a crop, and the total for the -country reduced to 871,000,000 bushels. This at 12,000,000 off from the August estimate, and makes tho crop 15n.(.Ki.!0 short of 1802, and nearly 2."0,0( 00 short of 1891, the banner year. Telegraphic Clicks.

Tho proposition for concession en the part of Mr. Cleveland was made through Scnatoi s Gorman and Smith, the latter of whom has often bjfore been a medium of communication between tho White House and the coterie of silver Senators. But Mr. Cleveland was not in a compromise mood when this proposition was broached to him by Senators Gorman and Smith. With the scent of victory in his nostrils ho sU od pat and said it would be time enough to talk of concession or of further financial legislation when the repeal bill was safely passed. Ho absolutely declined to be a purtv to any compromise or to any concession, even the Faulkner amendment or any less imp n-lant salve t 1 tho wounded prido of the silver advocates. When this decision was reported to the silver men they became exceedingly wroth.

This wonderful Nervine Tonio has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American' Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of tho general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatevor causo. It performs this by the great nervine tonio qualities which it possesses, and by its grit curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengtheuer of the life forces of the human body, and as a greut renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages.

AU these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NEBVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all i :s effects upon the youngest child or. the oldest and most tk-licate Individual Nine tenths of all tho ailmont9 to which the unman family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a

general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the

right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body aro carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con

tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair

the wear our present mode ot living ana labor imposes upon tne nerves, For this reason it becomes neeessarv that a nerve food be supplied.

This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts

for its universal adaptability to raugement Cbiwfordsville. Ito.. Auk. 50, 'SC.
