From a 8ta'f Correspondent.)
IJNCOUN, Nov. 1. (Special.) State
ments printed In several democratic news
papers that the supreme court Is two
years behind In Its work are not borne
out by an examination of the records.
The statements which had their origin
in the house during tha last session of
the state legislature also Implied that
the present slate supreme court was not
fulfilling a campaign pledge made by
the republicans that when the number of
judges was raised to seven thereafter the
work of that tiibunal would be kept up
to date. Borne of thooe favoring the In
crease of the number used the argument
at the time the matter was voted upon
by tha people, but this waa done wholly
without authorization from any point.
Before the court waa composed of
even judges there were three judges and
six commissioners, the nine of whom
naturally wrote more than the seven
Judges who n-w constltuta the court.
When the seven-judge court waa created
matters were as nearly as could be esti
mated about a year behind in the su
preme court and from careful Investiga
tions made by officials of tha court It Is
concluded that no ground baa been lost
aince that time.
There are two reasons why there was
no ground gained by the move, first of
Which la that It was necessary for the
court to hear all tha cases which had
been submitted to tha oommlslBoners and
und.clded by them before they retired.
Tha other la that the number of appeals
has Increased greatly in tha last two
jreara.

ROCK ISLAND TRAIN ROBBED
Arkansas-Oklahoma Express is F?ld
Up Near Hurlburt. Ark.
REGISTERED JHIL is TAKEN

l' press tar, 'at An Scared
Anr by Arrival if a
Switch Knalnr.
MEMPHIS. Tcnn , Nov. 1 Six masked
nun held up we't bound Rock Island
passenger tialn No. 4.1, known as the
Arkansas-Oklahoma express, midway be
tween Memphis and Hurlburt, Ark.,
early today, ransacked mall paunches
and fired seven nitroglycerin raps Into
the local" safe of the express car
which not only tore away the safe doors
but wrecked tho car. The bandits were
frightened away when a switch engine,
searching for the "overdue train, ap
proached from Hurlburt.
The robbers bourded the train when
it slowed down near Hurlburt, eleven
miles from Memphis, Intimidating tha
rntino crew by a display of wtapons, tho
men forced the engineer to back tho
tialn several miles. Then the express
and mail cars were cut from the roaches
and hauled ahead a short distance, w heru
the half completed robbery was executed.
In the meantime other members of tho
train crew us well as express messenger
and mail clerks were brought to submis
sion by tho robbers.
W'lun the detached ears were brought
to a standstill one robber began gath
ering registered mail and another set
the charge of explosive In the safe, whlln
others stood givnd over the train crew
and tho passenger co, ictus. The rob
ber having chargu of the express car
selected the larger of two safes fr his
attack. This one, It happened, contained
only tho less valuable i a kages.
When tho charge was fired tho ends
and sides of the car were splintered and
the entire front of the safn blown away.
Just at this point In the holdup the
switch engine steamed into sight and
the robbers took to their heels with only
what they could hastily grab as a re
ward for their daring. It la believed
that 'what they got was of little value.
Yalnnlilea Are In Sinn 1 1 Mate.
CH1CAOO, Nov. l.-F. O. Melcher, vice
president of the Rock Island road, said
that so far as he could learn the robbers
got nothing but the registered mull: that
the safe blown open contained nothing of
value.
"The passengers were not molested ex
cept tho onos. who ventured too close.
These were warned by rifle shots."
Simple Costumes for
Girl Graduates at
Sioux Falls, S, D.
SIOUX FALLS, S. p., Nov. 1. (Special.)
Shall tho evil of overdressing continue
to threuten to divert commencement ex
ercises from an achievement in education
to a display of finery?
Not If Principal Kurly )f tho Sioux
Falls High school has his way about It.
Principal Kurly has just Inaugurated a
movement which It Is believed will sweep
the northwest and perhaps other portions
of the country to reduce the extravagance
of commencement exercises.
The evil of overdressing here and else
where has grown from year to year until
It has bocomo a burden upon the parents.

Principal Knity Is trilim to put n stop to
It, and be Is grrntl eneoiii aned by I lie
support which bo Is receiving from the
parents of pupils In tho high school.
The first proposal In I ho effurt to re
duce the burden to the minimum was
that the girls In the graduating class
should make their own oresses. s part
of the year's work, under the direction of
the domestic science department of the
high school. The principal suggested this
first to the mothers and was encouraged
by tho support he received. A majority
of the girls In the class also favored the
plan, but a small and active minority
opposed It. on the ground that the last
Mar was so full of strenuous activity as
to leave no tlmo for droHsmaklng, which
did not appear In the list of credits.
Hence no hard nnd fast rule on this
subject was adopted, but most of the
girls of the class or will make their
own dresses. In each case, according to
the movement now Inaugurated by Prin
cipal P.arly, the expenditure for the whole
graduating outfit, Including all the nrnnt
lug details of feminine costume, luiiM
bo limited to '.
The limitation has hern accepted In
good faith by all the girls In the class,
and by the mothers as well, and therefore
It will cost less to outfit tho class of
P'10 than lias been the enso In many
vents. It Is believed tho girls will look
Just as well and that thiir parents and
friends will bo Just ns proud of them.
In the pnst some of tho sweet girl
graduates have expended as much as tiof
and JT-Ort on their outfits, and "this has
caused heartburnings among the poorer
girls, whose parents were not able to go
go to such an expenso for their daugh
ters. 1'nder the action of Principal Karly
tho graduates of PMJ can have all the
clothes their parents want to pay for
them, but simplicity Is to prevail In the
commencement outflte, and the hurtful
competition which has prevailed In the
past, nnd which means, l.i many cases,
headaches for the mother ami heartburn
ings for tho daughter and worry for the
father, Is to bo no more so far as tho
Sioux Falls High school Is concerned.
Large Decrease in
Number of Sheep and
Cattle in Wyoming
CH FY K.N NIC, Wyo Nov. 1. (Special.)
A decided Increase n the number f. f live
stock In Wyoming Is noted bv state Tax
Commissioner John MctJIll, who has re
ceived tho assessment returns from every
county In the state. Sheep especially
have decreased rapidly In numbers, the
assessment rolls showing a total of 3,ftll,
Ml, as against 4,240,000 In 910, or a decrease
In assessed valuation of over $7,000,000.
The decrease in the number of cattle tho
last year Is given as 118,337, while horses
have decreased 4,009 and swine 4, MS. There
are In the state at the present time 4'2K,110
cattle, valued at 9.S82,tsO; sheep, 3,fi2l,R44,
valued at 113,318,77. ?0; horses, 115, M:, val
ued at -55,279.155; mules and asses, Z.ltiS,
valued at $174,Mt; swine, 10,715, valued at
172,175.
The big decrease In numbers of live
stock the last year was due to severe
winter losses and the poor range condi
tions, which necessitated heavy ship
ments. Since the enumeration was mado
there have been the tieavlest fall ship
ments of sheep known In years, and It
is estimated there are not more than
2,750,000, a.i against 4,050,000 a year ago.
Wyoming waa for .several years the
leading sheep and wool state In the union
with Montana second, but the heavy

losses ilne to winter storms and drouth

place Wyoming In second place In the
matter of wool pioduction. Montana
probably will lead Wyoming In wool pio
duction this year by 3,non .one or 4.000,000
