MISSOULA, Mont., Oct. 24. Eastbound
. aasenger No. 2, on the Northern Pacific,
was held up by a lone robber last night
near Drummond, Mont., at a place forty
five miles from this city, and Engineer Dan
O'Neill was killed by tbe bandit, who after
ward rifled the mail and express cars.
Tbe train, which included mail, baggage
and express cars, with nine coaches, ar
rived at Missoula at 10:20 p. m. from Port
land and coast cities, snd proceeded east
ward after a short delay. It arrived after
midnight at a place two miles west of
Drummond. Here the train was signaled
to stop and the engineer, accordingly slack
ened speed.
While doing so he saw a man creeping
toward him over the tender. The man, who
waa armed, called to O'Neill to atop the
train instantly.
The engineer took In the situation at
once, and pulling open the . throttle, tried
to start the train at full speed. The rob
ber divined his purpose and fired at him.
The sho took Instant effect and the en
gineer tell dead at his post.
Tbe robber then proceeded to rifle the
express and mall cars. ' He plundered th
regular mall and blew open the safe In the
express car. He also dynamited the bag
gage car. The amount of plunder which
he secured 13 not known at present, but
It Is supposed to be large.
The excitement on the train was Intense.
The sudden stoppage, followed by the ex
plosions, spread alarm among the train
hand and the passengers. The darkness
of the night and the loneliness of the place
added to the general terror.
The robber boasted that he was the man
who took part In the holdup of the South
ern Pacific train near Portland, Ore., about
a year ago. He made this boast to the
train hands to terrorize them while he em
ployed them to run the train four miles,
that la, to two miles east of Drummond.

men, also started for the scene on a special
train, Tbe coroner went with him.
. Tbe mask worn by the bandit was found
on a mountain trail, two miles from tho
scene of the holdup. The bloodhounds were
given tbe scent of the mask and imme
diately took up the trail, which was then
about eight hours old. ,
The Northern Pacifio has offered a re
ward of 15,000 for delivery of the robber.
dead or alive, and tb official hope that
the mountainous country will compel him
t keep close to the-railroad tracks. . . .
It is . believed the robber boarded the
blind baggage when the train stopped at
a water tank near Bear Mouth. After the
robbery, taking one " of the train crew
earned Berry for a companion, he marched
down the track without molesting the pas
sengers. After walking about a mile and a half
he bade Berry goodby and took to the
woods. He is described ss a short, heavy
set man, stoop-shouldered, dressed like a
laborer, but wearing a light cap and light
shoes.

WASHINGTON, OctS 24.-The annual re
port of General John F. Weston, chief
commissary , of the arny, show that $16,
257,044 was placed t th credit of tbe
bureau and $9,E."1,603 s expended during
the year ended Jane 80. -
Speaking of tbe withdrawal from Cuba,
General Weston commends the management
of the department ueder Colonel W. L.
Alexander. He also' commend Captain
Hugh J. Gallagher, who had charge of tb
relief expedition to Martinique.
Concerning .affair tin the Philippine
General Weston says: j
Subsistence affair in the Philippines have
presented at all time complex and difficult
problems, but the present period has been
one of extreme difficulty. New and shifting
condition have arisen and what Is system
today Is futility tomorrow, an that It Is
Impossible to map out any definite plan,
but it is expected a satisfactory basis will
soon be reached, upon which intelligent
action may be founded. The policy of con
centration makes toward an early and
satisfactory solution.
The bulk of the ration article and many
of those for sale were drawn from Ban
Francisco on account of Its favorable loca
tion. New York waa drawn upon for the
bulk of articles Intended for sale, while
from Chicago. Kansas City and Omaha
salt meats and meat products were pro
cured. St. Louis supplied a limited number
of articles.
The question of transportation la the
most difficult and Important one which has
to be dealt with just now an1 this is par
ticularly true with th .Department of the
South Philippines.
General Weston recommends that wher
ever permanent posts are located In the
Philippines cold storage and .Ice making
plant be provided. 1 ',
Concerning fresh beefjh says:
There ha at all J time, been an
abundant supply of first-class re
frigerated beef and mutton, which ' was
procured In Australia at reasonable prices
averaging 6.68 cents per pound for beef
and 6H cents for mutton, Increased by 3
cents for delivery. The prices 'paid have
been fairly reasonable and are In wide
contrast with those paid by the British
army In South Africa, where the cost of a
ration of beef alone equalled the cost of
our entire ration, of beef, flour, fresh and
dried vegetables, fruit, coffee and sugar.
It was necessary to procure the beef from
Australia because the ravages of rinderpest
had almost totally destroyed the cattle,
carabao and swine in the archipelago. It
Is feared now that on account of the drouth
In Australia the price of fresh meat will
advance, and with thla prospect In view
steps have been taken to obtain a new mar
ket and the delivery of fresh meat by mer
cantile vessels.
DEATH LURKS IN COAL MINES
Indian Territory Fields Officially De
clnred to Be Exceptionally
- Dangerous.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The annual re
port of the United State mining Inspector
tor Indian Territory emphasises tbe dan
gerous conditions surrounding the coal min
ers there and point to the fact that the
production ha already had considerable In
fluence on the coal traffic. The report say
the Increased number ef openings, has not
been followed with the . increased product
of coal that might hav been expected, al
though the production has grown to 350,10?
ton. " . -
Two reasons were advUed, lack of car
a scarcity . cf orders,. jely .-isflun(ed
by the production of oil to Texas. .
Th report express the belief' that the
Indian " Territory coal fields ar perhaps
more dangerous than any others of tho
United States, by reason of the character
of - the coal, the fine highly explosive ear
burated hydrogen, or firedamp, and the
treacherous character of the underlying
strata, under 'which the 'miners havo to
work,
Most of the operators have suffered from
a lack of skilled miners and the Inexperi
enced men employed are unfit to protect
themselves or their fellow' workmen from
the existing dangers.

Although a more favorable day, as far
a weather Is concerned, could rot be
wished for, the 'voters of Omaha failed to
turn out any better for registration ye,
terday than tbey did on the first day. The
result la that the total registration for the
rst two daya of this year Is 4,202 short
of tbe total for the corresponding days of
1900.
Tho greatest falling off is In the Third
ward, where It is 736 short of 1900. Next
comes the Sixth ward, with a shortage of
694. The First wsrd haa a falling off of
433; the Second, 391; the Fourth, 484; the
Fifth, 381; the Seventh, 422; the Eighth,
621. and the Ninth, 140.
As compared with the figures for the
first two days of 1900, th republican are
short 1,835, the democrats 1,194, and the
populists 153. This leaves the populists
with a total of only 145 registered in the
nine wards of the city,
In 1900 the totsl registration for all
three daya was 21,741, or 8,523 more than
for the first two days of this year. Thla
means that If tbe total of this year 1 to
equal that of two years ago 8,523 voters
will have to ho registered next Saturday,
which is hardly among the probabilities.
Yesterday' registration was mora than
1,000 less than that of the first day this
year, and if the third day this year equal
the third day of two years ago, the total
this year will be about 17,500, or more than
4,000 short of 1900. All these figures of
course relate to Omaha alone, distinct from
South Omaha and the country precincts.
