through three Illinoia cities, and the

the whole countryside along the San
ta Fe railway southwest of Chicago
early thla morning.
The wrecked bank wax at Coal
City, 63 miles southwest of Chicago,
on the Santa road. The thieves

rency.' BLEW UPBASE BCILDIXG.
The marauder? entered the town
on a passing freight train and began
operations by tying Barney Ghetto,
the night watchman, and Washing
Frye, night engineer of the electric
plant. -They then blew up the bank
building and shattered the safe with
a great charge of nitroglycerine, and
after seizing the contents of the safe
leaped on a Santa Fe train with their
plunder, which was partly in stamps.
. Three hours later three men suffer
ing from wounds inflicted by small
shot were arrested at Morris, III.
The wounds were received, it la re
ported, when a poBse formed along
the line of the road met the fugitives.
As the train carrying the bandits
pulled out of the town Ghetto suc
ceeded in cutting his bonds and rush
ed to the telephone, notifying Eugene
Miller,, the night watchman at Ma
zeon, seven miles south of Coal City.
He with Dr. E. D. Watts, who was
at the station at the time, lay in wait
for the robbers. Watts was armed
with a repeating shot-gun and Miller
carried a revover.

the posse occasionally firing at dark
objects which they thought to be ban

at Vernon, near Morris, the cars
were searched by the bhcriff and his
men.
THREE WOUNDED FOUND IN CAR.
Three of the fugitives were found in
an empty baggage car. All "were
wounded. The other two bad fled.
It is believed that they jumped from
the moving train on the side opposite
the possee and escaped with the boo

VERY GOOD YARN.

Many yarns have been told about
making sausage out of dog meat
Comedians in shows have used it for
years. The Waco, Texas Times
Herald, however, gets off quite the
brBt story in this - line yet. It says
that UE. G. Sewright went Into a res
taurant in Los Angeles, Cat., and or
dered a weinerwurst While he was
masticating it with great zeal and
much satisfaction his teeth came into
contact with something hard, and
drawing it out, he found it was a dog
tag numbered 413. Sewright began
by denouncing the beef trust for rais
ing prices to such a height that a res
taurant keeper can't afford to put any
thing into bis sausage but dogs. The
waiter expostulated because he made
so much noise and Sewright thrash
;d mm. rue cook came to the res-
cue of the waiter and Sewright beat
him until he roared. Then, with ithe
tag still in his hand, be went to the
city clerk to find out who answered
to the number of 413. He found
had been issued to Mi93 Anna Bell
for her Scotch terrier, Daisy.
have eaten her,'' replied Sewright,
referring to the dog and not the maid
en. Then he looked up Miss Bell
and fonnd that she had lost the dog
three weeks before, and had been of
fering a reward for its recovery ever
since. And thus was it made evi
dent to Miss Bell that the want col
umns of the newspaper can perform
the impossible; still, she got the tag."

"Claret for children, port for men,
.brandy for heroes," said Dr. Sam
Johnson, no doubt repeating them of
old.
Dargan was exceptional in one re
aped he never found solace in the
seclusion of his home. Agreeable
conversation was his passion. He
was an engaging talker, but he never
banqueted his own thoughts.. He
coveted diversion with gun and with
rod and tackle. He spent much tirae
under Col. Wm. G. Smith's hospita
ble roof. TbeNelms brothers were
to him a rich mine of wit and burner
and edifying speech. One day while
fishing on Brown creek Col. Smith
met Dargan going up the creek swift
ly; "where are yon going Dargan?"
"Down the creek to find Eben
Neloos." Nothing would convince
him of his error except the running
water. '
The Spanish, who boast more say
ings of rare brilliance than " any peo
ple in Europe, invest every man with
being part doctor, some madman and
a fraction of weather progncsticator,
Bull's Bay, southeast of us,the prox
imity of the Gulf Stream and the
south winds were his " brewing
grounds of the weather. If he ran
up short in prediction of rain he put
the wind to immediate torture, de
claring if it continued to blow from
that direction it would not rain in
25 years.
No man ever played excesses from
a fuller hand than the dear old man
preserved good nature' through evil
as well as auspicious report alike.
He had contracted something of
the manner of the west; close observ
ers remarked the system of terraces
in bis manners. Captain Burgwyn,
killed in storming Puebla Der Taos,
while Doniphan was co-operating
morecircuitouslywithTaylorandScott
conquestlng the armies of Mexico,
being detained at Rockingham by a
great -freshet in the Pee Dee river,
asked if Dargan, with whom he play
ed cards, had not lived a good part of
his life in the west. Gen. Dargan,
though as kindly of heart as any
man of his way, was never the mod
el of a good family man; no further
seek the reason why.
He often spoke of Beccaria on
"Crimes in the Long Ago." I have
read and admired the learning and
philosophy of it. He was the first
man to tell me of Moliere, Ilacine,
and Lope DeVega, whose fecundity
as an anthpr is known to the stage
He must have acquired his knowl
edge of these in New Orleans or Mo
one. tie was proud to say he was
never north of Richmond, Va.
Some of our people will recall the
career of Phillips White, of Philadel
phia, who found leisure between bis
sprees to enlighten our folks on the
evils of intemperance in drink or ad
diction to intoxicants, the le
gitimate and inevitable consequences
were to destroy every stream of vir
tue and wither every plant of good
ness in the human heart. General
Dirgan put him to confusion by ex
cessive buffoonery and harlequin
im, comparing White to a great gi
rane wno came soutn reeding over
the tops of the pines and cheating
honest toil out of the rewards of labor.
He recapitulated the 28 misfortunes
of Harlequin.
I recall hearing White in the old
building in which the Methocist
church of this town worshiped. It
has given place to the new church
and the old lot ia now the residence
of Seaborn Benton.
He Was a cunning advocate but
caught it in' the carl-rnow and then,
Dargan said he was the Bqo-Uoo
fetched from the Fee Gee Islands In
two ships.

Wadesboro, N. C. She was stricken
some time ago with an . illness that
ksted for weeks, and during this
time he most tenderly and loving
ly ministered unto her, both by day
and by night, and even though many
times friends and physician nrged him
to have an assistant, he would not
consent, but continued his faithful
devotion until he was taken unwil
lingly from her Bide, himself ill unto
death, and after a brief illness of only
five days passed over the river to wait
her coming. She lingered about two
weeks, and even though Buffering
physically, yet her mind wa3 clear to
a remarkable degree, and all those
who were near her wondered. But
we realized she was filled with the
peace that passeth understanding,'
and was calmed with the assurance
that she too would soon pass over the
river where separations are no more.
Mrs. Stafford was a woman of rare
mental ability, but on account of her
retiring nature, few knew her inti

and appreciate her many noble char
