A Domrstlr Kpfsodf.
The president sat in his easy choir,
With Lament as close i> c.»uld be,
And the president's wife sat over there,
With her sewing upon her knee.
Said the president: “Dan, here's a job for you;
My head fi>r the problem’s too thick.
Before you retire 1 wish you would do
A sum in arithmetic.
"With twenty-five congressmen lost this year.
Which seems to be nearly our fUte,
Where will we be-say, Dan, do you hear?
In the gutumn of eighty-eight?”
Dan bit at his nails, and scratched his head,
For the problem puzded him so.
"Why, maybe, perhaps,” he stammered and said,
Then declared he didn't know.
The sweet little lady over there
Looked up, but not at the men,
And shortly said, with a ftu-away air,
( *His teeth will be cut by then.”
"My teeth will he cut by eighty-eight?
I thought they were cut long since.”
The sweet little lady hung down her bead,
Bo busy with scams and fells.
And, blushing a little, she softly said,
"I was thinking of something else.”

THAT RIDICULOUS ROBBERY.

Catithaoe, Mo., December 13.—Ac
counts of last Saturday’s train robbery on
the Fort Worth and Denver railroad men
tion the name of Mrs. Wittich. She is re
ported as protesting in vigorous language
against a train loud of stalwart men sub
mitting to such an outrage at tho hands of
three men. Mrs. Wittich, who lives in
Carthage, arrived home this morning and
was called on by the Republican corre
spondent for her version of tho affair. She
says she was sitting on the second scat
from the back of the rear car when her
husband, who had been looking out of tho
window, told her that a robbery was going
on outside. She looked out and saw two
men with pistols and six or eight men in
line with their hands up, and another
searching them. When the facts flushed
upon the mind of tho passengers in her
cur that it was a train robbery, the ques
tion of resistance was discussed and several
plans were suggested, but it was then as
certained that not a man in the car had a
pistol in his possession and all idea of re
sistance vanished, and how to secrete
money and valuables became
THE ABSORBING QUEST TON
of the moment. This was quickly done by
depositing their money und valuables in
every conceivable hiding place. Mr. Wit
tich gave|partof his to her to keep,put Home
iu his shoes and retained the silver pieces.
After the robbers had looted the smoker,
two of them entered tho car she was in
and, leveling their pistols at passengers,
commanded “hands up I” which was quick
ly obeyed by all In the car. The process
of robbing them commenced, one of the
robbers holding his pistols on the crowd
while the other culled up each passenger
in turn, beginning with the one nearest to
him. After rifling his pockets, the robber
ordered him out to the front door and
called up the next man. They stationed
themselves on each side of the aisle, imme
diately in front of the stove and about
three feet from the front door of the rear
car. After searching two-thirds of tho
men the
FREEBOOTERS BECAME NERVOUS
and in a great hurry to get through the
job and ceased searching, and simply or
dered tho men to hand over their valuables,
which some did, while a few denied having
anything and were allowed to pass on to
the front car. Ouo fellow, when ordered
to leave, demurred and said his wife was
in the car, and it was then the chief robber
remarked, “We do not molest ladies.”
and forced him out.
Many ludicrous incidents occurred during
the time. From the moment the passen
ger* first discovered the errand of the
ageats to tho time they entered the rear
car was perhaps fifteen to twenty minutes,
and during that time the uneasiness llrst
experienced had worn oil' and the
passengers regained their com
posure and good humor, especially
as they had safely deposited theii wealth
beyond ihe reach of* the highwaymen.
Mr. Jones, of Vernon, had $2300 in the in
side pocket of his vest. While •.arching
up in line ho heard the robber demund a
watch from one of the unfortunates. That
was his first thought as to his own flue
f :old chronometer, ami he immediately
owered one hand, unfasn ned Ids chain,
and dropped it in his clothing. Reaching
the robber lie hnnded him thirty cents,
but remarked, “He wanted it to'lmy his
dinner.” The robber told him to keep it,
as he was not worth a cent anyway.
1TAD TO SUBMIT.
“Mm. Wittich, what about the surren
der of tho passengers without resistance ?”
“Oh, as to that, I suppose that discretion
was the better part of valor in this in
stance, as the gentlemen had no weapons,
and 1 am satisfied if they h id been armed
the robbers would have bean captured
then and there. 1 think, ffowever, the
g allant soldiers in the front car could oasily
ave defended us.”
“How many ladies were there in the
car?”
“There were five or six and they were
tho coolest passengers on board, and the
idea that il would linvo frigh’ened them
for tho soldiers to have captured Die rob
bers I think was an afterthought. The
truth is, in our car there were no armed
men and apparently no trepidation, and
the gentlemen obeyed tho orders of the
robbers like tittle men, Bimply because
they could not help themselves.”
“How much was obtained by the rob
bers?”
"I understand from a gentleman on the
train, who asked each passe nger ns to his
loss, that they obtained about $S0 cash and
E robably a half-dozen watches. The rob-
ers did not pass through our ear as they
went through the front door, unhitched
their horses, and rodo ofF very leisurely in
a southerly direction. It was in an open
country, no trees, ravines or masks, ana no
attempt at concealment. They wero a
rough, bard, seedy, ill-looking set of vaga
bonds. The only danger was the possible
accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands
of the nervous robbers.”
NATURAL GAS.
A Cincinnati Company Proposes to Supply the
Towns Along the Upper •liio from Wells in
Benin County.
Maysville, December 15.—In 18S3 an
oil company was organized in West Vir
ginia for the purpose of prospecting for
oil in the adjoining portion of this state.
They prospected iu Martin county, but in
stead of oil found gas. At a depth of about
1300 feet they discovered two natural gas
deposits with a flow estimated at 15.000,000
cubic feet daily. Hearing of this discovery
some moneyed men from Cincinnati form
ed an incorporated company styled
the Kentucky and Cincinnati Natural Gas
and Fuel Company, and some time last
fall they purchased these two wells,
from which natural gas has been continu
ously flowing for tne past three years.
They also bought about 1000 acres of land
In tne region of the wells. This company
now proposes to convey this gas in the
pipes from Martin county to Cincinnati—a
distance of about 200 miles. They havo
already contracted with Catlettsburg, Ash
land, Portsmouth and lronton to supply
fuel gas at a cost at least 10 per cent. Jess
than the present fuel bills, and are now
negotiating with the citizens of Maysville.
Mr. Isaac Rigdon, of Cincinnati, is in the
city representing his company, and the
people here are very much interested iu
the project. The form of contract explains
tile nature of tho company very fully, and
it reads as follows:
“In consideration that the Kentucky anil
Cincinnati Natural Gas and Fuel Company,
a corporation of Kentucky, construct a
pipe line from their properties situated in
Martin county, Ky., so as to deliver natu
ral cob in sufficient quantity and suitable
quality for fuel purposes in the city of
Maysville, Mason county. Ky., within
eighteen months from the date hereof, we,
tlie undersigned citizens of Maysville,
should we desire to use said natural gas for
fuel, hereby agree to buy sufficient of said
natural gas from said Natural Gas and Fuel
Company to meo all the fuel requirements
in aud about our several residences, stores,
warehouses, factories and offices for a term
of ten years at a price not to exceed 90 pur
centum of our monthly fuel bills. Pro
vided, said Kentucky ana CinciDnAtl Nat
ural Gas and Fuel Company delivers said
natural gas to each subscriber at as low a
price as any other company furnishes the
same.”
Maysville is at present especially inter
ested in the gas question, since the organ
ization of the Citizens’ gas-light company
a year ago reduced the price of gas from
f3. per 1000 cubic feet to only 75 cents to
private consumers. Besides, the introduc
tion of fuel gas will make it impossible for
the coal supply hereafter to givo out just
at a time when the people need it most.
Fuel gas will be u good thing for all the
towns along the Ohio river.
A Probable Itrsnlt.

the result of the Campbell divorce suit in

Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue aud
tho taking off of revenne stamps from Pro
prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers,as well os relieving
the burden of home manufacturers. Es
pecially is this the case with Green’s Au
gust Flower mid Boschee’s German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents per
dozen, has bcon added to increase the size
of the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in
the 75 cents size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the
Gorman Syrup for Cough and Lung trou
bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage of
increased size of the bottles will be greatly
appreciated by the sick and alflicted, iu
every town and village in civilized coun
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain
tho same size. octl2 d&wly
