Following closely a series of robberies by highwaymen on railroads in the south, the west-bound Louisville and Nashville train was robbed of $70,000 Wednesday between Pensacola and Flomaton, Ala., by the substitution of paper for bills in express packages. News of the robbery did not become known until Friday. John C. Martindale, whose health has been very poor for a long time, has been failing very rapidly for the past six weeks and especially for the past week and there is now no prospect at all of his recovery and it is just a question of time until he passes away. He takes no nourishment now and is partially unconscious much of the time. The "fatherless frog” developed chemically by Prof. Jacquer Loeb, formerly of the University of Chicago, now of the Rockefeller Institute of Research, is proving the real attraction in the exposition arranged at Washington, D. C., jn connection with the international congress of hygiene and demography. Professor Loeb developed the frog from an egg by artificial means, and its growth to life is pronounced a successful experiment along the line of parthenogenesis, John Burgett, who lived for some time on the Henry Randle farm in Hanging Grove township and who moved to South Dakota seven years ago, arrived in Rensselaer this afternoon for a visit with old (riends. He owns a fartp near Mitchell, S. Dak., and is prospering. He went from here to the Osborne neighborhood in Hanging Grove township and Will spend about six weeks visiting old friends In this county and in White county, near Chalmers and Monticello. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hoover returned to Chicago this mornig after spending Sunday and Monday at their home southwest of town. Frank is being treated by a Chicago specialist and will spend most of the following month in Chicago, except to come home every Saturday. He believes that he can be cured without having to resort to an operation. Apparently the trouble is not gallstones but a disease of the gali duct. His trouble is largely a nervous disorder. W. S. Parks, wfyo is managing the county stone crusher which has been running again for about a week, finds it very difficult to keep men at work. This morning he was two hands short and had to delay starting until he could replace them. The wages is $2 per day. With good wages prevailing and everyone employed that wants to be, every intelligent man should ask himself “Do. we want a changer’ and he should give the matter grave consideration before he sets about to restore the old regime when wages were only $1 a day and men employed only part of the time.
