The Experiences of the Passenger on the Train A Fine Spot for the Ilobblnj; of Trains. KANSAS CITY. Sept. IS. The Denver & Utah west-bound passenger train on the Santa Fe was held up at Kirkwood, (Mo., early this morning by a band cf would-be robbers, wlu stepped the train by placing a couple of trpedjes on the track. After a batt of twenty minutes' duration with a half-dizen detectives, who had been placed oa the train at Chicago in anticipation of the raid, the bandits were routed and escaped to the woods. During the fusilade about fifty shots were exchanged. "Dad" Irescott, the engineer, received a flesh wound in the shoulder. Aside from this nobody, as far as known, was hurt. The work of the bandits came to naught, for the heavy amount of money known to be on board the train was unmolested zr.d the passengers undisturbed. 'When, the waylaid train reached this city the Kansas City passengers were not loth to leave it after their night of suspense. Several of thrm, as they expressed themselves to an Associated Press reporter, passed the worst night cf their lives and f r a time thought it would bet their last. Ail the detectives who engaged in the fight stopped off at the scene of the robbery to chase the robbets. and the train hands continued west, but little cou'.d be learned from them. F. H. Wilson, pullman car conductor, had time to talk a few minutes, however, before proceeding west. "Such a scramble for safe places," he said. "I never witnessed. The women were frantic in their endeavors to get out of the way and the men r.o less eager, showing aa much fright as they possibly could display. Some lay fiat on the floor, others barricaded themselves in their berths or clamored underneath, while others ran frantically up and down the aisle, apparently bewildered. One man, probably fifty years of age, when the shooting began to be fierce, knelt down In the aisle and prayed long and loud for deliverance." Rear Brakeman J. P. Mooney Fays he Is confident there werf seven robbers instead of four. Just after the train was stopped he was s-ent back to protect the rear end of the train by setting out lanterns. About fifty yard3 from the rear end of the train a road croeisd the track- In this road were two men holding five horses. Later he declares after one horse had been killed and another that had been tied in the timber ran, away, he still :-aw the original five. One of the men who tied the horses immediately thereafter took "after the brakeman, lie caugnt him and holding a sixshooter close to the brakeman's noe demanded his money. Mooney gave up all he had. $19, when the robber made him go back t) the train. M:oney describes the man as a tall, strapping fellow who wore a white handkerchief covering the lower part of his face. DETAILS OF THE ATTEMPT. The Battle Between the Robbers and the Detectives. GORIN, Mo., Sept. IS. The Colorado & Utah express on the Santa Fe was held up by robbers at 3:20 a. m. tday. Owing to the. fact that the railroad and express officials had a spy on the trail of the bandits, when they stopped the train they nm a hail of buckshot and bullets, and it Is said that at leist two are dead In thj surrounding woods, while aj many others rode for their rendezvous, twentyone mil?j away, filled with leaden pellets. T'aey were novices in the art of train robbery and brutal ones at that, for they shot "Dad" Pre3cott, the engineer, before they even gave him a chance to hold up his hands. His wound, it is believed, will not prove fatal. The raid was planned three weeks ago. but not put into execution until this morning. "When the trafci left Chicago at 5 o'clock last evening, railroad and express detectives, all walking arsenate, climbed on. Chief Detective J. J. Kinney of the Santa Fe, with G. C. Montgomery, his right hand man, boarded it at Jollet. At Streator they were joined by two more men, who have been patrollng the line for twenty days. J. A. Matthews, who has been acting the spy for the last two weeks and getting the news of their plan3 put in an appearance at Galesburg. He broug'at news that the would-be robbers met eirly in the day and decided to leave their hiding-place near Memph'3 at 8:30 o'clock last night and make their attempt to get rich at the expens of the express company. They expected to make a haul of at least $50.000, the Monday run always being much heavier than any other day of the week. v When the train reached Ft. Madison la., shortly after midnlzhr Li"ision Superintendent Stockton of the Wells-Far-go express company got In tbe treasure car. He carried a satved-oif Winchester with a history. Jt belonged to Hill Dalton, and it was to be poetic Justice to turn it loose upr-n followers in the f xtuteps of the Kansas desperado. With him were four rifii. Their arm were in the car, and had been for several oayi. Then a council of war was neld. It was first proposed to ambuscade the force behind a barricade of trunk an J boxes S i the express car and allow the robbers to enter. Tlie mesenrer was to throw up his hands, and kneel dwn to rhe safe. Then he was to fall on the floor and the Winchesters would begin to bark. Two men were to be Ftationed on (he ergin: to protect the trainmen and another was to guard the rear. ThLs chetne was flrally abandoned. The plan adopted was this: Detectives Kinney and Mcntgomery boarded the cngin?, Superintend-' ent Stockton and two of his good shots tarried In th express car, but It waf in the forward end of the rnokins r.tr that the forces were massed. A partition an 1 door Inclose, naif a dozen seats and Fhuts off the rest of the car from it. Thero the men, a bz?n of them, were secreted. nach one of them had one of the "sawed offs," every cartridge loaded especially for the event with two do::vn buckshot. There was only one passenger In that compartment, and he was ie'juefte.,1 by the brakeman to take a ami in the chair car. as "they were going to sweep." At 2 o'clock Sheriff Salin of Scotland county climbed on board, and detail.! of the urpri?e party were arranged. Tl-.er was one nun, howaver, who had to t ieokad ffiu for a-nd prUtd. He

wa3 the spy. According to the report brought In by Matthews. th spy would endeavor to be the one who- flagged the train. The orders were, that no matter if every one of the guilty ones got away, there was to be no shooting to endanger the life of the man who had in fact taken his life into his hands, in order to frustrate the attempt at robbery, and so, as the mlnuteä sped on, an unwonted silence settled down on the train. Pullman car conductors and porters sought places of safety and en-en the trainmen did not expose themselves unnecessarily. In the little compvrtment filled with armed m?n, the lights were turned out, and the windows were up. In each seat were two men, sitting sideways, the muzzles of their guns just protruding a trifls over the side. Behind thm stood others with Winchesters at half-cock, r?3ting on their arms. Out from between two high embankments just one mile from Gorin, sped the train. One minute more and the anxious watchers would know whether they again hid the labor in vain. Then came the crack of the signal. There was but one. A sharp whistle gave token that th3 engineer had heard, and almost before hl3 hand had left the valve, across the tracks not fifty yards away, swung a red light. Within twenty seconds from the explosion of the torpedo, the train was at a standstllsl. Rut from the dense undergrowth north of the track came four forms. The face of each was hidden by a black mask. One. more agile than the rest, rushed to

the engine almost before his companlon3 could reach the express car He carried a rifle, and when within ten feet of the tender brought it to his shoulder, pointed it at "Dad" Freseott. the white-bearded engineer, and, as he shouted "hold up your hands," pulled the trigger. His aim was true, and "Dad" fell to the floor of his cab with a bullet in his right breast. With one bound Kinney gained the top of the tender, and, bringing his gun to his shoulder, sent a shower of shot almost into the face of the masked individual. How on earth the fellow ever managed to move six Inches is a mystery, but he did. and made for the woods. The llnndits Retreat. The shot which laid Engineer Prescott iow was the signal for a fusillade, and was echoed and re-echoad from bank to bank and in the south woods. It was a signal for a hasty retreat to the timber on the part of the surprised bandits, whose features were hidden by masks. Not until they reached the timber did they answer, and then they only fired two shots. But their aim was not good, and, although men were leaning from the car windows and pulling triggers a3 fast as possible, while others had jumped to earth and were after them on foot, they failed to hit a man. According to their program, their horses were hitched not over one hundred yards away. When the po3se from the train reached the spot they saw one an-mal, a gray, galloping north. A well-directed shot brought it low. but there was no rider on its back. The place where the horses were tied was ?oon found, and cut hitching straps sho.ved that one man at least had life enough left to make his escape. Sheriff Saling took the sadile, blanket and bridle from the dead horse, and pays by their aid he will have no difficulty in identifying the owner. The search for the dead and wounded was postponed until daylight, but the chase after the one who escaped was started within ten minutes after the shooting. The sheriff secured horses here, and. with half a dozen men, started north. They know the men, and are confident they will have them in custody soon. It is not likely the passe.igcrs ir the rear end of the smoker and a half-Cozen or so in the sleepers will ever forget the experience. With th-? first shot every man nir a window opened it and looked out. With the second he dr-w his head in, and when the volleys began he had no time to close the window, but just dropped down flat on the noor of the car. Then the cry '"train robbers" went thjough the train, and women went down on their knees, lifted theihands and screamed as vigorously and persistently as if a mouse was in sight. It was absolutely Impossible to walk through the cars without elimbirfg over the seats. When the excitement was at its hight the brakeman put his head in the door and shouted: "Keep your hoad3 down, ladies and gentlemen. Train robbers are outside." In the sleeper Selma two women ran shrieking from their berths, and they were headed for the danger spot, when Conductor Blue captured them and prevailed on them to go back to bed. There were at least a dozen individuals who snored throughout it all. and did not miss a note. When the train reached Gorin. Engineer Precott was removed to a private house, and a doctor, who was on the train, attended to his injuries. Fireman MeXJrow took the train west. Previously Rnlketl by Rain. Twice before last night's attempt the bandits left their hiding place and started for the spot selected for their deed of violenre. Each, time a copious fail of rain balked them. Eleven nights ago they saddled up shortly after 10 o'clock, and started to ride slowly across the country. It was cloudy, and they had not covered more than a third of the distance when rain began to fall. Some were in favor of turning back .at once, declaring they were not going to run the chance-3 of be ing tracked by a mud trail. Their objec tions ere overruled lor me time Deing, but by the time the cavalcade was . within seven miles of Che railroad tra-k, it was apparent to even the most foolhardy that discretion was the better part of valor. The command to retreat was given, and the procession returned. The next daytwo of Kinney's men followed ihe trail for five miles. It is said eight men were In the party last night. Last Saturday morning was the second time the affair was billed to come off. If it had not been for the rain the attack would have been made, for, in addition to the regular "prize" carried on the express car on that train was ,a big bundle of money to be used by the Santa Fe In settling with its employes for August. At least thit is the information on which the robbers were acting. But the rain came down too early and with too much vigor even to permit a start. Detective Kinney was a badly chagrined man when the train passed the point at which according to the program it shmild have been flagged. He was ready for tnem mat night even more so than he had been before. He was on the ene-in? clad In a suit of blue Jumoers. and look. ; ing an the world like an apprentice to ! the art of firing an engine. Snugly j ensconced in a skillfully constructed augoui in the heaping tender full of coal, was another of his men, a man who I has put six bullets Into as many tele- ! graph poles while riding past them as j fast as a pony could take him. Insid the express cir, behind a pile of trunks, which were barricades, were seven men with loaded Winchesters and a couple of big colts, "mighty handy in a tight j,u.i-e. as ivinncy put u.

REPORTED IN CASES OF DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION. Dr. Jennison in an interesting article on Indigestion and dyspepsia says: "Nine-tenths of the people who apply to me for advice and prescriptions for various ailments I find on close examination that their whole trouble arises from poor digestion, they have little appetite or if they do have an appetite the food they eat does them no good. Why? Because it is but half digested, causing poor blood, weak nerves, sleeplessness, aching bones, pains in the chest, etc. They tell n2 they believe they have consumption, heart disease, rheumatism, or nervous prostration, when in reality the whole trouble 13 in the stomach and no where else. What do I do for such people? I don't feed them on pre-digestcd food like babies, nor "stomach bicters' nor patent nostrums about which I know northing. No honorable physician will prescribe a remedy unless he knows what it contains and its probable effects. "For all such patients as described above I have but one prescription. It is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I u?e it with remarkable succei In all cases of indi gestion because I know that it contains the most valuable vegetable essences, fruit salts, the purest aseptic pepain, fre-e from animal Impurities, and bismuth. If I had dyspepsia myself it is the one thing I should take. "When a patient applies to me complaining of dull headaches, tad taste. sour stomach, nervousness, pains in chest and limbs I ascribe all these symptoms to poor digestion, and th only prescription I give him is to tell him to go to the- nearest drug store for a 10 cent box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and to take a tablet before and after each m?al and so great is my confidence in the preparation that if thiy do not cure I know of no-thing that will." All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets or they mail? be had by mail from The Stuart Co., Chemists, Marshall. Mich. verse curve through a cut. with embankments from ten to forty feet high. Then comes a little "fall." followed by a stretch of track almost on a level with the surrounding country. On either side of the right-of-way are dense clumps of oak and hickory, not to mention an undergrowth almost as Toad as that of the north Michigan pin? woods. But the timber, although apparently thick and Impenetrable, is only so for less than a quarter of a mile from the track. Beyond that the country stretches practically clear and easily traversed almost to the Iowa line. It was in the middle of the timber the hor?es were hid, and it was the calculation that after the night's business had been accomplished two hours' hard riding would put every man safe from pursuit, and that, too, soon after day dawn. There are no telegraph lines up in the country, where the gang has been in hiding, and it was thought that news of the "hoid-up" would not penetrate to that region until after the participants In the affair had time to cover their tracks. It Is nearly three weeks sin;e the Snta Fe and the Wells-Fargo officials reeeivec1 the "tip" that the raid was contemplated. Since then the express car, whether inhabited by Detective Kinney's men or not. nas been a r?gular prsonal. Every night .it least half a dozen ecret service men have climbed aboard at dif ferent points along the line east of Ft Madison ana scattered, themselves m the day, rcclining-chalr and smoking conches. Soon after that point was reached they would work forward into the smoker, not a man exchanging a word with the other, all t strangers, as far as outward appea. ineos went, and before Gorin was passed half of them had disappeared into the express car. This was merely precautionary. Detective Kinney's secret agent gave him twenty-four hours notice of the two premoditaied raids, stopped by rain, and the full force was on. But the railroad and express reople wore taking no chances. When the danger point had bern passed the men would drop off at different stations, working back east along the road in the day time and repeating their operation the next night. Xo one man ever climbed the train from the same town, however. The rights the robbers failed to keep their appointments the wholrparty alighted at Hurdland, took their armory from the express "ar and returned to ft. Madison, Gaiesburg, Chillicothe and Streator. Train Xo. 5 of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road is what is known as the "Colorado and Utah limited." It leave the Polk-st. station, in Chicago, daily at 5 p. m., and is due to arrive in Kansas City at 9 o'clock the next morning. The Santa Fe runs almost due. southwest between Chicago and Kansas City and crosses the Mississippi river at Ft. Maison. Entering the state of Missouri. LTiO miles distant from Chicago, the road runs for some miles through a roueh country, the many small streams which have their head waters In southeastern Iowa breaking jt up into hil'.s and valieys. It is a fitting place for train robbers to do their work. TWO OF THEM AHRESTCD. Farmer Ahrain Iladly Wounded How ' the Cnptnre Was Made. MEMPHIS. Mo.. Sept. 18. Chirles Abrams and Link Overfield, the two farmer bandit3 arrested for their part in the attempted Santa Fe train robbery, were only captured after a stubborn fight. They both made their way directly to their hemes, situated sixteen miles southeast from here in a lonely part of the country. Abrams, who is the man who received the full load of buckshot in the face, was compelled to walk the entire distance, it being his horse that was killed by the detectives. On arriving home Abrams secreted himself behind a dresser. He had practically ran the whole distance and when Sheriff Saling and his posse, with the railroad detectives, came up to the house soon after his arrival, he wa3 faint. However, when he knew that escape was out of the question, he made a bold attempt to stand off his captors with a revolver, but the officers had the drop on him. and he finally gave In. After he had been handcuffed the search for the other bandits wa3 resumed. On the farm of Mrs. D. Tult, near by, the officers found Overfield, who had crawled under a bed. The house was first surrounded and a delegation sent in to make a search. Mr?. Tult and her two daughters stoutly denied that Overfield was in the houe. Overfield showed fight when isoovered, but before he could use a revolver he was grabbed by one of the officers. A fierce struggle ensued, the bandit finally being overpowered. Then both he and Abrams. with two brothers of the former, around whom suspicion also reste. were handcuffed and taken to Memphis. The search for the remainder of the gang Is being kept up. The examination of ths four men now undr arrest will take place tomorrow. i - A Drlny I'oeiu. Down by the sea.

ES Beating the World's Record for Trotters, Robbing Nancy Hanks of Her Laurels. ON THE GALESBURG TRACK. An Even, Steady Mile Without the Sign of a Break, McDowell Not Urging Her in the Least. The Time by Qnnrter, tttO 1-2., .11 1-4, t.'ll. :.'J1 Day' of Great Eiiihulam McDowell. Jone and Snllabnry "In It" Robert J. tu Try Ills Luck Tolny The "Winner In the Itaeen Kvciitn at Other Track.. GALESBURG, 111., Sept. 13. Fifteen thousand people yeKed themselv-s hoarse this afternoon whtn the great trotting (jueen beat the world's record by coming under the wire in 2:03?;. It was a noble performance from start to finish, justifying Williams's boast about the fastness of the track and Jones's assertion about the ability of Al'.x to beat the world's record. The .day waa an Ideal one f or such an event and the track was in good condition. It was 5 o'clock when Alix passed in front of the grand stand for a little preliminary work. McDowell was her driver. In the stand, when the time arrived for Alix to be sent off, were Jones and Monroe Salisbury, joint owners of the mare. The timers were Fred Secord. John Hussey, T. C. McDowell and McIIenry. McWilliams was the starter. In the audience was Senator Cullom.' It was 6:10 when McDowell finished Alix up. When all was in readiness Williams announced: "Alix will now go against the world's record. 2:04." The crowd became silent and from that instant there was great suppressed excitement. The start was made in splendid style. Alix coming as regularly and steady a3 clockwork, with head down and her short, pointed ears twitching nervously. Alix was given the pole with the runner just to her right and a trifle behind. When she approached the wire for the start she seemed to be going a little slow, but she soon increased her pace. She was working like a machine, and yet so easily and gracefully that one would hardly imagine she was going at such a tremendous clip. When the quarter was reached there was a general exclamation, "Thirty and a half! She will beat it.". From that to the half she seemed to fly, making it in 1-014. . The third ouarter she increased her pace a trifle, making it in 1:32;)4 In the Home Mretch, When she started up the home-stretch there was the greatest excitement. Some started to yell, but were suppressed. Alix was moving down without apparent effort. Thus far there had not be -n a false step, a wabble of any kind. She seemed to fairly fly to get away from the horse that came thundering just behind. As she nearel the wire many that glanced at their watphes said: "She will not make "iL''-The. .last f ex rods she again eeemeJMo increase her marvelous speed and as she darted under the wire the shout went up from the thousands: "She's done it! She's done it!" The cheering was prolonged and it was some time before Williams could quiet the crowd so as to make himself heard. He then announced: "You have witnessed the fastest heat ever trotted by any trotter on the globe, just trotted by Alix. The first quarter was gone in the half in 1:014 the three-quarters in 1:323;, and Che mil in 2:03i." The crowd again cheered and thousands rushed onto the track as McDowell came driving Alix back. Williams introduced Mr. Jones, the owner of Alix, and the cheering again arcwe. The performance of Alix is the talk of all horsemen tonight. Driver McDowell said: "It was a remarkable mile. She did not setm worried a bit by the effort, but came out a3 fresh apparently as she went in. Her action was perfect. The whole distance I never spoke to her or raised the whip. It wasn't necessary- When I reached the half-mile pole I knew she would beat the record. She was in the very pink of condition and so eager to go that she needed no urging. I therefore let her gallop her fixed gait from the half-mile in. At the upper turn at the end of the third quarter I found the track a trifle epongy and I gave her second place; when I reached the home stretch I gave her the pole again. I was confident she had beaten the record and wanted her to for Williams's sake." Twice after the heat Alix passed in front of the grand stand and each time was cheered. The judges gave the time out as 2:03, although one of the judges caught it a shade less, and -many in the audience had it 2:03V4Mr. Jone Proud of It. Morris Jone3 was nearly smothered in con gratula tion s. He said: "I was confident Alix would beat ' the -record. I knew what she could do. I want to say that I sold a part interest in her several months ago to Monroe Salisbury. This is not generally known here. S2e came into my possession when a yearling. I bought her at a combination sale at Chicago and shipped her to my farm at Di Id City. Xeb. She is now six years old. Her first race was at Beatrice, Xeb., in June, 1S30, then a- three-year-old, I having trained her that spring. Last year she mada a record of 2:07?;. The first trotting she did this year was In an exhibition mile at Council Bluffs, where she went a mile in 2:11. Since then tshe has gone on steadily reducing her record. I shall not start her again here. I am satisfied for the present. What I may do, I cannot say yet, but it belong3 to srne one else to brat her record." The general -ntiment among ' leading horsemen here is that the quarters were, evenly trotted". The lirpt wa in 30Vs. the secoal in um, the third in 31 and the fourth In 31. It fhows that at no point did ene falter an Instant. Williams was so pler.sed over the result that he confidently announced: "You have seen the fastest mile ever trotted. Tomorrow you 'will, see the fastest mile ever paced, and it will be by Robert J." He, also announced that Flying Jib. Directly and Online would be driven against their records. Ethel A.

But one record was broken today and that was by Monroe Salisbury's wonderful two-year-old pacer, Dlnttly, who sent the two-year-old record down from 2:09 to 2:Q7?4, and at the same time reduced his own record two and one-quarter .seconds. This performance was witnessed by 20,000 people and created the most Intense enthusiasm.. It was the second special event of the afternoon, following Robert J.'s failure to reduce his record. The conditions were extremely favorable, the tnick being very fast and weather superb. Directly got away on the first score, Andy McDowell driving him. The colt was moving with grvat speed and evenly and needed no other urging than an occasional vord from McDowell. He had the pole, and just behind him was a thoroughbred running mate. The gait proved a remarkable one, showing a steady improvement. The first quarter was gone in -32, the half In l:04Vj, the three-quarters in lG'.i. and the mile in 2:074. The gait was perfect from start to finish and the result set the crowd wild wita enthusiasm.' The reduction of one and one-quarter seconds at one clip was deemed an event worthy of cheers. When Williams made the announcement there were loud cries for McDowell, and the famous driver was obliged to go up into the grand stand and acknowledge the ovation. In announcing him Williams said: "I introduce to you Andy McDowell, who drove Alix yesterday in 2:03;, and has just driven Directly in 2:0734, beating two records in as many days, a feat no driver on earth has heretofore accomplished." To horsemen the remarkable feat about the perfect performance was the increas of speed and the strong showing made in the last quarter. By quarters the rating is :32, 221'2, :3li and 3m. It was 5:10 o'clock when Robert J. was sent off on a second scoring. In warming heat he had made the circuit in 2:11, and there was a general feeling that he would pace a great mile, even if he failed to beat his own record. Ed Geers was the driver. On the Judge's stand was John H. Leash of Goshen, Ind., the owner of Online, the fast four-year-old pacer. Chandler drove the running mate. Robert J. made the first quarter In :3s) and expectations wras high. The half was made in laXiVa. but in the third quarter the great pacer slowed up, making the pole in l:31v;. the mile was made in 2:02?;. The quarters were: 30, :30 211; and :31. Driver Geers assigned two reason for the failure of the pacer, namely: The track was a trifli too hard for Robert J.'s feet and that he was fearful of the crowd that filled the entire track, save a few feet next to the pole. Online was next sent to beat his record of 2:07'4. He went a strong, steady mile, equaling his mile without apparent effort. Chandler , drove the pacer and Geers the running mate.

GLASSCOCK DIVORCE CASE.

KVIDBXCK FILED IX BEHALF OF SENATOR STEWART. The Letter of the Womnn'n IIahnnd to the Xrvndii Mem her Affidavit of Polleemen. ". IJelec! ve nml Other IVItnensei The Ilvldence In Ihe Cane, m WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 Affidavits and letters iwere filed today in the supreme court of the District of Columbia in the divorce case of Glasscock vs. Glasscock, on hthalf of Senator Stewart, in support of a suggestion to the court that the case ought to be dismissed on the ground that it is not brought in good faith; that the parties are in collusion and' that the alleged offense is condoned by their continued cohabitation, and that the object is not divorce but extortion and blackjnail. The papers are very voluminous, cov ering thirty-five typewritten pages. Some of the matter is of such a scandalous and obscene character that, it cannot be re peated. It embodies the statements of detectives, police officers, porters and attendants of the senator's private rooms and officers, neighbors cf the Giasseocks, and a number of Mrs. Glass?o:k's letters to the senator. The first paiers give the senator's letters to Cample!l Carrington. attorney for Mrs. Glasscock, wherein the senator gives the circumstances already published of Mrs. Glasscock's importuning him. The letter closed with the solemn assurance that there has been no improper relations with the woman. A letter from Glassock to the senator is next given. It declares that the senator has destroyed his home and happiness. "I have had a thousand impulses," 1: continued, "to shoot you down on sight like a dog. That is the punishment you deserve." but Glasseook continues that he will not become a murderer for a worthless woman. He declares that lie d.-es not want any of the senator's money, but seeks only a divorce. Affidavits of "m. O. Morris, formerly chief of poli?e cf Roanoke. Va.. and William E. S, hank, a policeman there, recite that in ls?l the Glasscocks lived there and that the husband had the wife arrested for base conduct and soliciting money on the streets. The officers tell of the dramatic court scene in which Mrs. Glasscock swooned when accused by her husband. The case was dismissed on the ground, as thd officers swear, that the court thought them to be imposters. The court records have mysteriously disappeared. William R. Abell makes affidavit that he met Mrs. G lassen jk on the street, flirted with her and called at her house. Letters from Mrs. Glasscock to Senator Stewart are also given. One letter says her husband has besrun divorce proceedings and adds, "We have been caught up with." She asks for assistance and threatens1 to employ a lawyer if she does not hear from him by th Tuesday following. Detective Kid er teils how 'he shadowed the Gla-seocks and how the husband remained on the outside while the wife called on the senator with the evident purpose of coming on the seer after. Affidavits of a number cf neighbors of the Glasscocks teil in detail of their living t"gt-ther after the divorce proceedings were begun. MR. OWEN WITHDRAWS.

An article on chronic malaria by the above well-known medical author, beginning on page 4i)t of Birmingham's Ind'x of Medicine and Surgery, reads as follows: "Some chilliness or rigors may be experienced, but there is no cold stag of any duration the skin being burning and dry, the face flushed, the eyes Injected; headache, giddiness, rest-lesnes-, sleeplessness. Vomiting and nausea; are commonly present, the vomited matters consisting, first, of food, then of a watery fluid, and finally of biliary matters. Great oppression and weight are felt in the epigastrium; the tongue is furred and tends to dryness; the lips ara parched, and there is intense thirst. Some perspiration. Yellowness of tha ikin is common. The spleen and liver are usually enlarged. Urine scanty, dark, and of a high specific gravity. The complications are also very serious. If treatment has been long delayed, so that th- malarial cachexia has bocoma establisht-d, it is difficult to brins about a "complete cure." Dr. Hftrtman. in commenting on the above, said: "Nothing Is better known by the medical profession than that quinine nearly always fails to cure thlJ c!as öf m;'.a:ial aftVeii-.?:;?.
