WHILE rainy weather might not help the corn crop much now it would make line fall pasturage and thus be worth many thousands of dollars to this county. i'tifk
Now that the weather signals are to be posted ou the side of the rural delivery mail wagons, it is likely that some of the patrons will ask to have the Chicago markets so displayed.
A LITTLE more care might be exercised in placing the warning lanterns along open sewer ditches. Several accidents have already occurred and carelessness in this regard jeopardizes human life as well as property.
J. W. KERN is circulating a petition for the parole of the notorious Editor Ray, of Shelbyville, who is serving time in the northern prison for his many crimes. If Governor Durbin is the man he is credited with being he will turn a deaf ear to all such prayers. Ray richly merited the sentence he received and should be compelled to stay it out. iSi '.

Shaffer is no doubt a sincere, honest and well-meaning man. But it is a pity of pities to see the welfare of a hundred thousand men. the happiness of their homes and the bread of their children juggled at will by a hysterical exhorter. Among our American weaknesses there is none more costly than the habit of smoothing the pathway of every reckless demagogue who plays upon men's passions.
ONCE more the treasurer of the United States has denied one of the periodical stories, usually originating abroad and used to defraud those who can be duped into believing them,alleging that the United Stases treasury held a large sum in trust for the heirs of a man who deposited it there. This time, the man's name was given as Dembitzky, a Pole, who was said to have deposited the money there just previous to being killed while fighting in the Union army during the civil war. It is needlesB to say to those who are acquainted with the principles under which our government is run, that the United States treasury is not and cannot act as a trustee for private individuals consequently it holds no private •funds in trust, but the ignorant and even some intelligent persons in our own country do not know this, as often as it has been stated in connection with this sort of thing, and naturally a story of this sort is readily accepted by the credulous in other countries, often to their cost.
THB insular division of the war department was not, when established, intended to be a bureau for the promotion of matrimony, but a glance over its correspondence files shows that it has been indirectly the cause of many marriages, and Col. Edwards, its capable and courteous chief, is in doubt as to whether he deserves praise or condemnation for the unpremeditated results. The epidemic of marriage was brought about by the regulations adopted by the division for the trans' portation ol teachers for the public schools in the Philippines, which pro vided that the person directly dependent upon the teacher might, if practical, be furnished free transportation upon a government transport. That was enough of a hint for a number of bright young fellows who had been ap pointed teachers, and the division was at once overwhelmed with applications for transportation for brides, as "the person directly dependent upon the teacher." Inasmuch as the teachers alone were a severe tax upon the trans portation facilities of the government, this was decidedly embarrassing, but Col. Edwards, who is a sympathetic man, was equal to the occasion, and no bride was left behind. All records for the carrying of brides were broken by the transport which carried the brides to the Philippines, and Uncle Sam doesn't regret his bridal present of free passages, whatever some of the brideB may do later. By the way, it is officially announced that all appointments of teachers will hereafter be made by Mr. Fred W. Atkinson, superintendent of publio instruction in the
Philippines, whose address IB Manila. The announcement was made to stop applications being sent to the war department. There will be very few more appointments anyway except to fill TManeiea.
Bold Train Robbers Did Not Long Enjoy Fruits of Raid.
IT CHANGED THEIR TUNE
Texas Bandits Langh at Discomfited Passengers On the "Katy," But Arc Now In Jaih
Tliorouffli Hold Up Results In a Big Hcarc But, a Small Money Loss.
Fort Worth, Tex., Aug. 14.—The south-bound .Missouri, Kansas and Texas train No. 3, due here at 6:30 a. m., was robbed at Caney Switch, I. T., yesterday morning by five masked men, who were later caught and are now in jail at Atoka. The express car was blown open, the safe wrecked and the mailsacks rilled. All the passengers were robbed of their money, amounting to about $400.
The robbers secured only $1.50 from the sai'o in the express car, as the money had all been left at Muskogee to be picked up later by the "Katy Flyer," which made the day ruu through the territory. They went next, to the mail car. Every pouch was emptied and all mail considered valuable by the robbers was taken in charge. They found the registered packages and carried them off, and then took charge of a large mailsack. The robbers then went through the coaches and robbed every passenger, throwing the booty in the sack. They got $280 in one coach. A negro who refused to give up his money was beaten nearly to death. Superintendent Sam Gaines of the railway mail service says he does not believe the robbers got: much money out of the mail pouches.
After the work was done the robbers, who seemed to enjoy the situation, sat around and laughed over the matter, and one even went back into a car to get something. After holding the train two hours the robbers left, going east, into the dense bottom timber for which the tortuous Caney creek is noted. The trainmen cut out the wrecked express car aud ran down to Caney station and advised officers up aud down the road. Within two hours posses of United States mar shals with bloodhounds were on the trail.
The express company says that ii lost nothing, and the conductor esti mates the passengers' loss at about $400, not counting the jewelry. The robbers gave the engineer, Lanliam, a diamond ring and a shirt stud. Both safes were demolished by the explosion, and the car is a wreck.
QUICKLY CAPTUltKD
Train Kobbers Dill Not LOIIJI Enjoy Their Booty. Deuison, Tex., Aug. 14.—J. B. Davis, deputy marshal at Colbert, I. T., arrived here last night from the scene of the robbery at Caney. "The following men have been ar rested on the charge of committing the robbery," said Mr. Davis. "E. O Richmond, Bob Alford, George Brown John (Jibson, Tom Edwards and Jack Barr. These men were arrested at Cauey and taken to Aioka. The op erator at Caney, when he heard the shooting, suspected the train was be ing held up and put out the light in the depot and telegraphed to Atoka 11 miles away, for officers. Within two hours after the robbery was com mitted bloodhounds had trailed these men to their homos. We found the wet clothing identified by passengers as that worn by the robbers. We found three masks and found in the firebox of the cookstove when the arrests were made the shoes of the men arrested. The tracks were measured and fitted the shoes exactly."
In the afternoon the men were glv en a hearing before Commissioner Balls at Atoka and their bonds fixed at $5,000 in each case. They could not ajive the bond and were remanded to jail. There were two men con nected with the robbery who rode away on horseback, and these have not been caught.
Postal Clerk George F. Tuley last evening finished straightening out the registered matter taken out of the pouches, aud said: "There is prac tically no loss on the registex-ed pack ages."
Both Claim Victory.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 14.—The In ternational Typographical Union con vention yesterday decided by a vote of 84 to 76 to submit to a referendum vote the preamble of the proposition allowing the stereotypers and electro typers complete autonomy and to con trol, charter and organize members of their craft. Details of the plan separation were not discussed and will be allowed to rest until the preamble is acted upon by local unions. Both branches of the printing trade are claiming a victory, and a spirited de bate ensued before the vote was ta ken up.
