LlillED IS HELD UP
UNION PACIFIC OVERLAND TRAIN
MEETS ROBBERS.
REGISTERED mULSUCKSMN
Four Men Concerned fn Work Are Be
lieved to Be at Present
Hiding TrT Omaha. ''
Omaha Overland Limited train No.
2 on the Union Pacific was held up
by four masked robbers on the Lane
Cut Off at 11:20 Saturday night the
train crew and mail clerks subdued
with guns and seven sacks of regis
tered mail taken from the mail car
by the robbers, who jumped into a
waiting automobile and escaped.
"One of .e features of the holdup
was that the train was held less than
fifteen minutes," said Mr. Foley, who
was at his home, but soon hurried to
his office to hear the reports of the
train crew.
The place where the train was held
up was on the country road between
the Northwestern crossing and the
overhead bridge, just west of South
Omaha, less than a mile from the
west side of Hanscom park. The
train had just crossed the big fill
over the Little Pappio when the rob
bers climbed over the tender into the
cab and ordered tne engine crew to
run the train a little farther before
stopping, lue stop was finally order
ed on the county road.
The Limited was coming into Oma-t
ha over the Lane Cut off and had
reached a point this side of Seymour
when "two masked men crawled over
the tender into .ue cab. of the engine
and forced Engineer Ellick R. Mickel
John and Fireman Herman Prawl to
throw up their hands. After they
had been searched for weapons they
were told to run the train a little
further and stop, the place of stop
ping having been planned with refer
ence to the waiting automobile.
A third robber soon appeared on
the scene and was joined by a fourth
as soon as the train stopped. Taking
the engine crew along with them the
robbers went to the mail car and
found the door open. They lired a
couple of shots and brought the eight
main clerks to the door of the car,
where they were soon confronted with
guns and lined up and searched for
weapons.
The robbers, after lining up the
mail clerk's, forced the engine crew
to carry seven sacks of registered
mail to the waiting automobile, and
as soon as the seven sacks were
loaded, the four jumped in the auto
mobile and started for the north.
Late hut meager clues, all tending
to show the men who robbed the mail
car of the Union Pacific Overland
Limited on the boundary line between
Omaha and South Omaha at 11:30
Saturday night are in the city of
Omaha have been found by Omaha
police and railroad detectives.
These officers believe the train rob
bers are in Omaha, and that perhaps
at their leisure they sorted the seven
sacks of registered mail taken from
the car while in hiding Sunday. The
amount of loss is not known and will
not be for several days.
Coney Island Still Does Business.
New York. Two hundred thousand
persons, according to estimates, went
down to Coney Island Sunday to
watch the police clap on the lid, as
threatened by Mayor McClellan's re
cent declaration that the Sunday clos
ing law would be enforced. Those
who expected a clash between the law
and the showmen were disappointed,
for no friction whatever occurred. All
amusement resorts ran as usual and
only six arrests were made during
the day. Two were peddlers and two
were for violation of the excise
laws.
One Hundred Engines for U. P.
Dunkirk, N. Y. It is reported that
the Union Pacific railroad has placed
an order for 100 engines with the
American Locomotive company and
that they will.be built at the Sche
nectady and Brooks plants.
Big Reward for Robbers.
Omaha. Assistant Superintendent
Foley says: "The Union Pacific will
give a reward of $5,000 for the appre
hension of each of the robbers who
held up the Overland limited Satur
day night."
HAMMOND FOR CHINA POST.
Famous Engineer is Said to Be Slated
for the Position.
Washington While it is impossible
to secure any confirmation of the re
port that President Taft will tender
the post of minister to China to John
Hays Hammond, it is believed here
that such an offer will be made.
Whether Mr. Hammond would feel
that he could leave his business inter
ests in this country and take up his
residence in Peking without' serious
detriment to the former has been the
subject of much speculation.
Fairbanks is at Tokio.
Tokio. Former Vice President

The Cause of War.
The fair young debutante was sur
rounded by an admiring crowd of of
ficers at the colonel's ball. Mamma
was standing near by, smiling compla
cently at her daughter's social suc
cess. The discussion was over the
quarrel of the day before between two
brother officers.
"What was the casus belli?" asked
the fair debutante.
"Maud!" exclaimed mamma In a
shocked voice. "How often have I
told you to say stomach?" Success

THINK HARD
It Pays to Think About Food.
The unthinking life some people lead
often causes trouble and sickness, il
lustrated in the experience of a lady
In Fond Du Lac, Wis.
"About four years ago I suffered
dreadfully from indigestion, always
bavin? eaten whatever I liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This indigestion caused palpitation of
the heart so badly I could not walk up
a flight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
"I became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.
"Hearing of the virtues of Grape
Nuts and Postum. I commenced using
them in place of my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in
one week's time I was relieved of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi
gestion. In a month's time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and I could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
"I gained ten pounds In this short
time, and my skin became clear and I
completely regained my health and
strength. I continue to use Grape
Nuts and Postum for I feel that I owe
my good health entirely to their use.
"There's a Reason."
"I like the delicious flavour of Grape
Nuts and by making Postum accord
ing to directions, it tastes similar to
mild high grade, coffee."

SHE DID IT.
Mrs. Fat So your husbznd has

considerable will power?
Mrs. Thinne All I had.
Our Wonderful Language.
"Out of sight in that gown. Isn't
he?" observed a gentleman in the
balcony, pointing to Mrs. de Koltay,
who occupied a front seat in one of
the lower tier of boxes.
"Out of sight? Well, .hardly. It
strikes me it is the other way about,"
responded his companion dryly.
Which goes to show the elasticity
of the American language, which says
one tMng and means another. It also
shows but, upon second thought, we

Laundry work at home would bo
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
Had Her Doubts.
"Mamma, does God watch over and
take care of me when I am asleep?"
suddenly asked little Marjory one
evening after she had said her prayers,
and was ready to be tucked into her
crib.
"Why, yes, dear; of course He does."
replied her mother.
"Well." said Marjory doubtfully.
"He didn't keep very good watch last
night I woke up twice and found the
blankets all off."
Not What He Meant.
The Liverpool Post tells of a Birk
enhead church secretary who an
nounced In church on Sunday that a
Shakespearean recital in character
would be given. When he was in
formed that the recital would not be
"in character" he corrected himself
by saying, "None of these taking part
in the recital will be dressed."
Slavonic Superstition.
A great risk runs the peasant of
Slavonic lands if he carelessly wastes
any of the bread that he dally
munches, since every crumb is gath
ered up by evil spirits, and should
their dust heap become heavier than
the man's' weight, on his death his
soul is forfeit to the devil.
With a smooth iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.
