fV if THE SIOUX COUNTY JOURNAL U J. SIMMONS, l'roirlri..r. IIAKIUSOX. - - NElillASKA t barged With Murder. H6Lk.i,Ia., Nov. 14. J. K. Cumber land, arrested six weeks ago, charged with the murder of James and Jasper Robertson, father and son, at Harlan. Shelby county, on being arraigned for trial surprised the court and spectators by pleading guilty to the charge of mur der in the first degree. The murder wa9 committed over two years ago, and Cumberland was suspected at the time, but no clue against him, or any knowl edge of the whereabouts o' the Robert sons after their disappearance could be found. Cumberland soon left the coun try after the Robertsons disappeared, but was located in Missouri and arrest ed while the grand jury was investigat ing the case. A confession was found on Cumberland's person telling where the bodies could be found. Every state ment in the'eonfession has beea verified and there was no chance for leniency to ward the prisoner, who pleaded guilty, it is thought to shield his wife, who was arrested as an accessory. Cumberland has been confined in the Avoca jail for safe keeping, as there were threats of lynching should he be left at llarlan. The court has not yet given a decision but the death sentence is generally ex pected. She Bad a W.ll of her Own. Ckawpobdsviixe, iDd., Nov. 14 The presentation of the handsome silk lhg to Miss Emma Connor, the school teach er who had a flig torn down from her school house and who put it ba k and defied the men to come back nn J at tempt to remove it again, took place in the Y. M. C. A. ha'l. The meeting was presided over by Charles M. Travis, ex department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. An el quent and appropriate address was made by General O. Manson. He spoke forcibly of the devotion of the American people for their'.flag and it pained him to know that there were three men who would insult the flag in order to ''spite the school teacher." His remarks were re ceived with great applause. Miss Con nor responded to the presentation ad dress in an eloquent manner. She mod estly said she had no idea of cresting such a commotion iu this sountry, but she wanted it distinctly understood that the flag will remain on her school house as long as she is teacher. Opium Smug; gllng. Nbw York, Xov. 14. The sudden dis covery of a wholesale system of opium smuggling across the Canadian, border has considerably startL'd the custom house officials. In the custom house there is now lying the largest quantity of opium ever seized and there is still more to follow. It is believed that the opium traffic has been started by some of the opium growers in India. The Indian mer chants have first sent that drug to Can ada, and it has then been smuggled across the border into the United States. In addition to having agents in CaDada about three or four months ago, two or three well educated natives from Bom bay arrived in this country by way of Europe. They ostensibly came on some other business, but the real object of their business is believed to have been the completion of an elaborate arrange ment for increasing the opium traffis in this country. As the first attempt at smuggling proved to be so successful, it was determined fo operate on a larger scale. The ratifications of ths scheme are intricate and ingeniup, but w:tii the information already in the hands of the treasury officials, an effectual stop will be put, to opium smuggling. Ifelfow Fever.

Some of the CwKf ri who were AIep Did not Know Anything About the Hold-up I mil the Train Airlrtd la Milwaukee. PI IISI'ISIG THE KOBHKKS. Milwaukee, Wis., Xov. 15. The mid night train from Chicago on Milwaukee St. Paul road was robbed by masked mea near Western Union Junction et 1 o'clock Thursday morning. The train had been out of the junction about a half a mile, when Fireman Edward Averill, who was putting coal into the furnace, was startled by a noise behind him. He turned around and discovered two masked men clambering over the ecgine tender. Both levelled their double-barreled guns at the fireman and Engineer McKay with the injunction: LOOKED l.NTO THE MUZZLE CK KHOTOCSS. "Don't move an inch until we tell you to or we will blow the top tf your head off!" Eogireer May was directed to run the train to within afpoint about one mile from Western Union Junction. Here be was ordered to stop. lio'h engineer and fireman were then ordered to get out of tl e cab. They were marched to the express car under guard and there the work of blowing open the express car began. Several bomb3, the fireman thicks tl.ey were, were thrown into the car i.nd terrifn explosion, which must have awakened every pasec- ger on the train, but nobody appeaid. STOKV (P TUB FIKi-iUN. Fireman Averill's story, which is as followed, is the most comprehensive: 'They mado me aalk ahead of them to the express car,"' he said,"and they gave me a jimmy to pry open the boxes. They got the messenger's keys though he was in no hurry to give them up nnd they will have no trouble in getting away with the money. The train was held for over half an hour. The entire efforts of the lobbers centered on the express car, End not a pussenger was molested." The fireman thinks there were half n dozsn men guarding the coaches, however. "Less than five minutes out of West ern Union Junction," said Messenger Murphy, "the train slowed up suddenly. A musket was poked through the top window of the car, and a second later a terrific explosion occured, that knocked myself and Cock in a head. Half a dozen more explosions fallowed and both doors were blown off the bolts. Then two men wearing long black inabks climbed quickly into the car and covered us with muskets. We were cautioned to maintain silence at the penalty of getting our heads blown off. After glancing hurriedly about the car the robbers fastened their eyes on two iron boxes of the American Express com pany. The robbers brought the fireman in a little later and went through all the boxes, they compelling us to hand over the keys. They dumped the boxes out on the road bed. One of the robbers kept us covered with his muBket all the time, while tho other robber superin tended the opeiations of the fireman." When the train arrived at the Union depot at 2:30 o'clock, the express car pre sented an appearance that would in dicate it had been attacked by heavy artillery. Every door and window had been blown out and the platform and walls were shattered in half a dozen places, while Its contents were piled in the center of the jar. The first news or the robbery was brought to Western Union Junction by the flagmen. Mil waukee and Raciue police were tele graphed for immediately and Detective Hansen was provided with a special train, on which he left at 2:40 o'clock. 8A7S THEY DID WOT GET ASVTHINO. Chicago, 111., Nov., 14. General Man ager Earl ing of the St Paul railroad re ceived a dispatch saying that the rob bers did not get any booty from the ex press car held up near Western Union Junction Thursday morning. The dispatch said that the robbers after gaining admission to the express car commanded the messenger tt open the safes. He refused, and the safes were pitched out of the car onto the ground. The robbers had tried to force open the doors of the safes, but were unsuccessful. The police of Milwaukee and the secret eercice of the St. Paul system, together with the sheriff of Racine county, are in pursuit of the robbers. Their flight was so hasty that they did not take the precautions to cover their tracks, so the officials believe they will get them soon. Trichina in Pork. London, Nov. 14.

Under thebei i ing "The LjusI days of the Dictator." Valparaiso paper, I I Mercurio, in its issue of September 2:5, published an ir.- j teresting narrative from which the fo. j lowing extracts are translated: About 1030 p. m. on August 2, H e day of the second and final victory f congressiocelist troops, .Senor Patrick Egan called at La Moneda, tho Chibaa bite house. He explained to the min ister of exterior relations, Don M. -V Zanarta, that the moment had arrival to take the necessary measures in cjw the fortune of war should be unfavor able to the dictator. Senor Zinarta de clared that at that very moment Senor Ualmaceda was writing a decree which entrusted General Rauquedano with the duty cf providing for the public order. Balmaceda was conferring als at that time with Don Eusebio Lillo atd Dun Alejjcd-o Maturana. The latter with drew at 11 p. m. believing the situation w as not lost. But at 1:3) a. m. an or derly apprised him of the watchword, 'Let ereryone who can, eave himself.' Maturana escaped over the roof of bis house in the forenoon of the 29th. "Balmaceda asked money from h s wife who gave him i.'!,QK. At mid night he left La Moneda in a carriage, accompanied by Senors Zinarta nrd Euesibo Lillo, Bnd drove to the Argen tine legation. Kenor Zanarta had al ready arranged for securing aj asylum there, and while Eueibo Lillo remaintd in the carriage, Zanarta entered the le gation with Balmaceda, who was re ceived by Senor Uriburn. The dictator had do baggage except a small trunk, which in the hurry of the moment wes forgotten in the carriage nnd which Senor Zanarta took to his house, where it was lost during the disturbances f August '.9. In the Argentine legation Senora Sofia Litares Da Walker had a -so found an asylum, and through a rare coincidence she was obliged tc see un der the same protecting roof the perse cutor of her hubbnnd, Don Carlos Walker Martinex, and the author of the most bitter days for Chili. Tho Senora Linares De Walker, as an homage to those who had protected her, behaved with the utmost reserve and concealed even from her husband the facts relatii g to the arrival of Balmaceda. "During the first di.ys the dictator rf -fused to read any papers and was in somewhat good spirits, lie expected that Senor Verdugo would su treed iu securing bis flight by way cf the Ande. But all his energy disappeared when be l?arned that Verdugo, who had C30.CK . i wherewith to prepare Bivlmaceda'a es cape, had been made a piisoner. The d cta'.or aleo received a letter from bin brother, Don Jose Maria Balmaceda, who informed him in d-spairing termt, that the situation of himself, his fnnuily and bis friends was terribly dillicul;. This letter seems to have had a very de pressing influent over the spirits of Balmaceda. The dictator lived on tbe top floor of the It gaticn and his meals were cooked on the groucd floor, in or der to avoid suspicion. He was attend ed by ono of the female servants, who eDjoyed the full confidence of Ko.ior Uriburu, the Argentine minister, and who did not betray that confidence. The humane sentiments displayed by the representative of the Argentine lie public are greatly to his honor, and we consider it a duty to tender him. and his worthy spouse our most sincere re respects."

The fishing boat, Star of the East, while entering Lowestof, dashed agaiubt Lhe pier and was wrecked. Six tf her crew were drowned. One man was ra--cued, but be diud from exhaustion short ly af lerwsrd. The schooner, ; Marguerite Marie, bound for London was caught in the hurricane off Dungenesa and was blown asboro and wrecked. It is believed that when the storm has spent its force and a final estimate of the damage is made it will be found that the loss ia much greater than that in curred by any storm that has prevailed for years. The reports from the gale-swept -Jis.-tricts are very slow in coming in owitfg to the almost complete paralysis of the telegraph wires, but the reports thus far received show that the damage must be widespread and very heavy The damage to property ut Folkestone and Doal is very great. The daiuege to fish ing boats and other small craft em ployed in the local coastwise trade is large, but no estimate of the amount of loss can as yet be made.
