UTAH CHARLETS LAST. ME RIDES IN A COFFIN A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF HIB TIME. A Grief Stricken Old Woman and Her Fellow Mourners—The Baggagerman Who Was Afraid of Being Called a Tenderfoot—A Railroader's Thrilling Story. Let me relate to you some of my early experiences, said Conductor Frye, of the Burington, when I was running baggage on the Union Pacific. It was back about ten years ago. We were coming past Ogden, and at a small station a box supposed to contain a corpse was put in the express car, consisted to Lincoln, Neb. Bill Axley, now on the flanta Pa., was express marmiguer, and as we elevated the box into the car he remarked that it did not fit the coffin well, as he felt a reacting jar as the article was put in the car. There were two men fairly well dressed, and showing no signs of mispicion, together with what we took to be an agile woman, who accompanied the remains. She was represented as being the mother of the deceased, and the two men were the latter's brothers. The woman, or man, as she turned out to be, was anxious to remain with the corpse in the car. That also defined that her two sons might be by her side. This was against the rules, and they were informed that transportation would only be allowed the corpse in the express car, and accordingly they agreed to take mate in a coach. HER FORDEROUS FOOT. Just before the train pulled out Bill said to me that he thought the game was a concocted robbery, and was determined to have the box handed out and inspected before the train started. But what if it were a real curpse? The boys would have hooted Bill off the road for his cowardion. This I said to Bill, and he finally concluded to let the worst come if it must. The conductor signaled the train to start, and Bill jumped into his car and I got into mine; but the more I thought of the situation the more I found that Billy's suspicions were not unfounded. Finally, at the next station, we stopped to await a clear track, and, Bill not being in his accustomed place at the doorway of his car, I decided to ascertain where he was. At the door there sat Bill with a face as pale as a dead person, and with large drops of perspiration standing on his forehead. I was about to laugh, but a sudden motion of his hand prompted me to refrain. Finally he walked close to the door and with one eye on me and the other on the box he said: "There's a man in that box alive and I know it. You had better keep your eye on those other fellows or we're their game sure." I paused for a moment. I did not want to make a blunder by informing the conductor and being called a tenderfoot; but supposing that the box PAINLESS BEECHAM PILLS FOR Weak Stomach—Impaired Digestion—SOLD BY ALL DRUGGED PRICE 25 CENTS PER PREPARED only by THOS.

(Please m At the door there sat Bill with a face as pale as a dead person, and large drops of persecution standing on his forehead. I was about to laugh, but a sudden motion of his hand prompted me to refrain. Finally he walked close to the door and with one eye on me and the other on the box he said: "There's a man in that box alive and I know it. You had better keep your eye on those other fellows or we're their game sure." I paused for a moment. I did not want to make a blunder by informing the conductor and being called a tenderfoot; but supposing that the box contains a live robber, there was the point. I meditated and I finally said to Bill to watch further developments, but he refused and said that if I did not come to his assistance he would call on somebody else. I saw that he was frightened, and he did not have much the better of me. Taking hold of the car door I entered it and we both stood and gazed at the box. It was scaled and neither of us had a right to open it. I finally called the conductor and informed him of the case. "Yes," said be, "and I noticed that the old lady who is weeping in the coach back there has a ponderous foot for a woman." But we all agreed to await developments, and I agreed to ride in the express car with Bill. THE TRAP DIDN'T WORK. We again pulled out, but we had not gone far before the bell rope was pulled and the train began to slacken up. At this juncture Bill did not rush to the door to see what was up, but set both eyes on the box. A moment of amazement and suddenly the cover of the box flew off and a heavily armed bandit attempted to rise, but Bill had him and in an instant the ball went whizzing through the fellow's neck and he fell over. "Guard the door!" shouted Bill, and the words had not fully escaped: his lips when the individual in female attired appeared and was about to enter the car when I leveled my revolver and said, "Woman or man, throw up your hands or I'll shoot." In full range the individual could not do otherwise, and one of the hands while suspended clutched a fine specimen of firearms. I held the strange guest at the point of my revolver and was surprised to see a little gray haired man come out of the next coach with two alleged brothers heavily shocked. The little man who subdued the two companions was a United States marshal who was on board the train at the time. The conductor was covered and ordered to pull the bell rope, but before the train was fairly stopped the little officer had both men in irons. The supposed female turned out to be a man in female attire. The feigned corpse was converted into a real one, and his companions were sentenced to penitentiary for twenty-one years each, and are now at Joliet, Illinois. The victim of Bill's marksmanship was Utah Charley, one of the most daring train robbers that ever infested the plains. We put the box and body off at the next station and they were disposed of in a manner which I never learned. Anyway, Bill's tenacity was the means of breaking up a band of train robbers that had terrorized the west, and his marksmanship sent Utah Charley to another bone where he could not stay in a pine box long. Bill had about $35,000 in charge at the time, and after making that trip he turned over his keys and abandoned the service—Omaha Box. The Dog Craze. The dog "craze" is increasing and with startling rapidity, and it continues to be shared alike by both sexes.

The dog "craze" is increasing and with startling rapidity, and it continues to be shared alike by both sexes. A pair of canine treasures is now counted a small possession, and the fashionable and avowed admirer of dogs now boasts a collection of five or six varied specimens and thinks nothing of going out for a stroll on a sunny day through one of the city's parks attended by the whole collection. It does present a somewhat curious scene for a stylishly dressed woman to be holding, as it were, a sort of impromptu circus in one of the squares. Her several dogs gamboling about while she checks them with a slender whip clasped in her daintily gloved hand and summons them to her side by a shrill whistle, all under the observance of a motley crowd of spectators that stand off at a suspicious distance as if enjoying a free show. The fashionable dog for the feminine pet is increasing in size, and instead of the soft, curled poodles and toy pugs we now see English and Irish setters, symmetrical Italian and English greyhounds, Scotch collies and Blenheim spaniels—Table Talk. The Viruses of Vegetables. Oily acts upon the nervous system, and it is a cure for rheumatism and neuralgia. Tomatoes stimulate the liver, and spinach and common dandelion prepared in the same way have a direct effect on diseases of the kidney. Onions, garlic and olives promote digestion by stimulating the circulatory system, with the consequent increase of the intake and gastric juice. Raw onions are also regarded as a remedy for simpleness, and the French believe that onion soup is an excellent tonic in case of disability of the digestive organs—Philadelphia Press.
