Whether the cabinet’s retirement would have the effect of allaying the Insurrection, the revolutionary leaders would not say. They preferred, they said, to await immediate developments expected at the Mexican capital. The following statement was Issued: "If the insurrection has had the ef fect of retiring the cabinet, It will seon go further and retire Dias. It will have the result ultimately of giv ing to the people a free ballot, guar anteed under the constitution of 1857.’’ BANDITS ROB TRAIN. Five Men Said to Have Seour.d (20,- 000 From Express Car. THE USE OF PAIN Is natures way of making you take the proper care of yourself. If a corn did not hurt you so that you would cure it or at least protect it, it would sooner or later result in a serious and danger ous ulcer. It is your own fault that you have them in the first place, but maybe you did not realize it at the time. At any rate you deserve no sympathy for tho painful trouble, wheu for a little care and a few Cents spent for a package of our corn cure, you can have relief in a short time and permanent cure, if you will follow directions.

For two hours six masksd msn held St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South ern passenger train No. 104 at a stand still on the prairie, about six mileB South of Coffeyville, Kan., while they blew open a safe In the express car. They escaped in two automobiles, car- rying with them money and valuables Which, it is believed, will amount to (20,000. The train left Little Rock bound for Kansas City. It reached Lenapah, Okla., half an hour late. Just aftpr the train left Lenapah, Engineer Lynch heard a sharp cry: ‘‘Hands up!” Turning, he saw a masked man sit ting on the tender, pointing a revol ver at him. "I’m going to ride a little way with you,” said the man; "drive on.” The engineer obeyed. About four miles out of Lenapah, the robber com pelled the engineer to stop the train near a clump of trees. Five more masked men came out of the woods, and taking position on each side of the train, began shooting In the air •nd along the side of the train. Then, while two bandits stood guard to pre vent any passengers from leaving, the four marched the engineer and fire man to the day coach and looked them in. They then proceeded to rob the train in true bandit style, after terror- icing the passengers in the day ooaches and sleepers. The place was a lonely one where the bandits stopped the train, and they proceeded leisurely with the work. Railroad officials deny that the rob bers secured as much as (20,000 from the express car.

"We will be able to show to the world and to the state department of this country that we are in de facto control of the largest part of Chihau- hau; that our cause is Identical with the sentiment of the people in all states of the republic; that armed op position, to the Dias administration is effective in twenty-three states.” RUSSIA-CHINA CLASH.

According to report that he reached the capitol the records of the trial of Stripling for the kill ing of W J Cornette in Harris county nearly fifteen years ago cannot be located. At any rate nODe of the records have been filed with tl-e prison commission yet, and the case is set for a hearing April 6. It is understood that (he records in the case were sent to the supreme court when the matter was appeal ed to that tribunal, the case was thrown out of the supreme court and the records were all returned to Harris county. The failure to find the records is only a rumor here, but if it is bas ed on fact and the papers can not be produced it would have a .se rious effect on the bearing before the prison commission. Governor Brown rarely considers a case un til he has the court records before him. Letters and petitions in the Stripling case continue to come to the governor and the prison com mission. Governor Brown has re ceived letters from several parties, asking that their names be m Btrick en from petitions for clemency, as they have changed their minds since hearing the other side of the case. One letter says that there has been marked change in sentiment regarding the casein Columbus re cently. At first everyone favored instant pardon for Stripling, but 8 ioce the widow presented Iter side of the matter, many are now op posing a pardon. Stripling is still in jail and the commission will issue no order sending him to the convict camp before his appeal is beard aud passed upon.
