MESSENGER SMITH. How He Laid Out Two Train Roblters Wlio Ordered Him to Vacate His Car. Hue Killed with a Revolver and Another Brought Down with a Shotgun—The Rewards Due the Messenger. San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 29. — Train, mail ami express robbing had become such a recognized* industry in Texas of late that it was, with war, regarded as a necessary evil. People had gone back to ante-bellum practice of currying money in the form of noil-transferable paper, and, being thus mailed against the strokes of fortune, counted that day lost whose slow descending sun saw not some passengers held up and some postal mes senger belted over the ear with a heavy and persuasive six-shooter. It may be stated without the slightest exaggeration that for two mouths past the community has been under a reign of terror not par alleled since the days of Sam Buss, who died with his boots on and skin full of holes, something like ten years ago. The country has been peaceful and the aver age Texan resented with a snort of indig nation any insinuation that his lone star home of the brave was not less lawless than any part of the globe. This dream of security was shattered three mouths back by the McNeill train robbery, which took place at night ten miles north of Austin. Some fourteen men were engaged, who struck a very light run and were badly paid for their {tains. The Flutouia affair on the Sunset line followed. There were eight men concern ed anti they got it good deal of money, outside of Hie pleasure derived from spiffing the express messenger’s ears and beating a Mexican lieutenant until lie feebly muttered “cajaro!” and collapsed under the seat The sleuth hounds of the law trailed down and captured about every reputable citizen in that section, but the derelicts were its much at large as ever. Two unsuccessful breaks in northern Texas were succeeded by the first Ben brook hold-up, which netted the road knights some $3,000. Then came the second, in which the amount taken is placed all the way from SIO,OOO to $30,- 000. In the neighborhood of El l'aso alone there have been three efforts to crush the Gould, Huntington and Wells- Fargo monopolies, none of which panned out. The latest, which occurred on the night of October 14, afforded the subject of this sketch an opportunity to cover himself w ith crimson glory and un dying fame. He is a very popular char acter just now, entirely diverting public attention from President Cleveland's en cyclopedia speeches. He gives the follow ing account of the incident: MESSENGER SMITH'S STORY. “1 left San Antonio on October 12, run ning a ‘double’ trip for one of the boys. I reached El Paso without incident, and started to return on the night of the 14th. As 1 learned afterward, two men boarded the locomotive as it left town, arrested the engineer and fireman, and told them to drive ahead. Five miles out the train stopped. They ordered the en gineer to proceed, but he was afraid of running into a large gang of cut-throats further down, and asserted that the air brakes had choked. “My first knowledge of things came from the report of a pistol shot. 1 sup posed it was a torpedo and that we were running into another train. The front door of the express ear was closed, but the rear was open. I looked out and listened to a fusillade, punctuated by as vociferous and artistic swearing as I ever heard in my life. I only had time to put out the lights when two of the bandits were upon me. They bored four or five holes in the ear, threw a dynamite car tridge against the front door, shattered it a good deal, and ordered us out. I had with me a young man who works in the Fort Worth of! ee, who was going over the road on a pasd. “’Get out, G—tl d—n you,’ said one. ‘Get a move on you or we ll do you.’’ “We crawled out. My companion was searched. For some reason—probably hurry—l was not. They started to board the empty car, but came to the conclu sion it was too dark. In coming out I had laid my 45-calibre on the floor just by the door. I re-entered with one of the pair standing immediately behind me. As I reached the inside I grasped the pis tol, straightened up, half wheeled, jammed it against his breast and fired. He fell back with a loud groan and his companion blazed away at me. The bul let sung by my ear and buried itself in the woodwork near my head. I answered but missed him, and he trotted toward the engine. “He ordered the fireman to come back and drag forward the body of his com panionion, which the man tried to do, but failed. He then ordered the locomo tive backed to the spot where his com rade was lying, which was done. I heard them talking, ami feeling around iu the dark for my shotgun. 1 looked out aud saw the robber standing near the engine talking to the fireman, who was out of sight. The only visible parts of the ban dit’s person w ere the head and shoulders. I drew the gun on him and sung out to the fireman: “ ‘Look out, he's going to shoot!” “1 fired aud lie sank back and crawled away. When found next morning it was seen that he hud been struck by several buckshot. He was able to go only some ESTABLISHED —BY— R. H. Jones —IN— -1853. thirty yards when death overtook him. The run bark to Kl Paso and tin* details of the inquest you know. I may {rive you some information, however, hi regard to the men wlioni I killed. “Tlieir names were dark Smith and Dan Myers, both professional crooks, and Smith an etqiecmlly notorious one. Three years ago in Da so del Norte he held up Mr. Bousillier, a brewer, and when the victim resisted, shot him dead. Subsequently Ins arrest was attempted by Policeman Chipman, who received a bullet-shatter*si arm, amputation follow ing. Smith again escaped, and a reward of #4OO was offered by the county au thorities for his capture. During his resi dence in and near El Paso he has had things pretty much his own way. Mis complicity in the numerous recent train robberies was strongly suspected. Myers was a less known but equally dangerous man. His holding the train after the death of his companion demonstrates his nerve. I never saw but two of them. Indian trailers assned us there were three. The solitary brace which came within my neighborhood ! am thankful to say 1 got. “So far as I can tell the rewards to which I am entitled are as follows: On Smith, as ‘Smith, the #4OO offered by El Paso county authorities; for train rob bers, reward by State of SI,OOO each; I‘nited States #2OO each ; Wells Fargo Express Company, #I,OOO each, making the aggregate for the two #5,1100. Pretty fair night's work you say? Yes, but 1 can assure you I was not thing of rewards jflst then. I was taking care of money packages and my skin.” J. E.

He is un married, and bears the blushing honors thick upon him with becoming humility. The Wells-Fargo people here are jubi lant over his gallant and successful stand.

Summers, formerly ot Denver, Colorado, who came out this fall with the first party of miners from Forty Mile Creek, we learned that the existence of living mastodons near the headwaters of White River was not the mere fabrications of the northern furriers, but that the Stick Indians had positively told him that not later than five years ago such an animal had been seen by them. One of the Indians said that while hunting one day in that un known section he came across an im mense track, sunk to a depth of several inches in the moss, and from the descrip tion as the Indian marked it out to him in the sand, it much resembled an ele phant's track, and was larger around than a barrel. Upon striking it the In dian followed up the curious trail, which, to all appearance, was very fresh, and tracking from one immense stride to the other for a distance of some miles he came in full view of his game. And what game! The hunter gave one look, then turned and fled as though pursued by the evil one. These Indians as a class are the bravest of hunters, and with no other weapon than the spear, will attack and slay the St. Elias grizzly. But the immense proportions of this new kind of game both startled and tilled the hunter, brave as he was, with fear, and he im agined his only safety tay in swift and immediate flight. Me described it as being larger than Harper’s, the post trader’s store, with great shilling yellow ish tusks and a mouth large enough to swallow him at a single gulp. He said the animal was undoubtedly the same as were the huge bones scattered over that section. If such an animal is now in exis tence, and Mr. Summer has no reason to doubt the veracity of the Indian, as other Indians, and also Mr. Harper, had con firmed it, they inhabit a section of very high altitude, and one but rarely visited by human beings, and these only In dians. We also have no reason to doubt the Indian's tale, for at no very recent pe riod the Yukon country was inhabited by these Indiana, and hundreds of their massive skeletons found strewn along the creeks are the silent but truthful wit nesses. On Forty Mile creek bones can be found projecting partly from the sands and among the drift wood along the stream. On a creek below this these skeletons are quite numerous. One ivory tusk projects nine feet out of a sand bank, and is larger around that a man's body. A single tooth would be a good loud for a man to carry. This certainly would be a great field for the scientist, for, to all appearance, it is rich jn nature's curiosi ties. Among the fur animals may be men tioned the bear, the beaver, otter, mink, martin, black, silver-gray and other foxes, the Siberian black wolf and other animals of less note. Among the food animals are the reindeer, which are the most abundant, and run in herds from a dozen up to five hundred. Then the moose, carribou, sheep, squirrels, grouse and quails. The musk ox is also found, but rare, and it is more than likely that a few mastodons or megatherium, yet exist. Salmon and other food fishes are abundant in the streams. When a lecturer has worked the ladies of his audience so near to*the weeping point that they have gotten out then hand kerchiefs, and then suddenly changes his tone and speaks of the merits of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup he is bound to rouse a feeling of indignation. I was troubled with cartarrh in my head to an annoying extent for three years. After using one bottle of Ely’s Cream Balm I was entirely cured.—Wm. J. Cline, Victor, N. Y, GOOD BREEDING An lultllfliv* 1 Wllvh Never Ci'Sm-s to l>e nl .service in Any Time nr Plate**. From the Youth's Companion ] When tt young man, about to visit Eimqte. sisked Dr. Caldwell, ol Kentucky, for letters of introduction, he rereived with them this bit of ad vice: “ These letters, besides making you known to the jmrson to whom they are addressed, will probably procure for you a break ftist soul dinner, and then their influence will end. But* you may carry with you another article which will never reuse to serve you. It is good breeding—ntani festt-d by propriety of behavior and cour tesy of manner." One**, while in London, Dr. Caldwell lis tened to the complaints of several young Americans, who affirmed that they never asked a Londoner to direct them to afiy point in the city without rereiving an uncivil answer, or none at all. The Doctor said that, as his experience had been different, lit* susjKfeted their fail ures arose from the bluntness of their manner. Unable, however, to convince them, he proposed a practical oxjieri ment. These young gentlemen and Caldwell walked two or three hours on tin* Lon don streets. They designated the p**r sotis to whom questions should Is* ad dressed, and also tin* topics of inquiry, but the Doctor was in every case the spokesman of the party. He questioned more than twenty ]**r sons, from the aristocrat ic gentleman to the servant in livery. From each one he received a courteous, and generally a satisfactory answer. If the individual addressed could not give tin* information asked for, he apologize*! for his igno rance. The jiersons accosted generally imi tated Dr. Caldwell's manner. If the Doctor took off his hat the gentleman also uncovered. If the Doctor touched his hat to a liveried servant, the man's was instantly under his arm. The young Americans surrendered, and frankly acknowledged that the Doctor was right and they rung. They learned from this practical lesson that courtesy of address is useful in ‘securing those lit tle favors which lubricate the grooves of life. . Good breeding is founded on good na ture and good sense. It expresses itself by that courtesy of tone and manner which says, even to a “rough," "1 will gladly be your debtor if you will assist me by a word.” The roughest man is for the moment changed by this friendly manner, for like begets like.

Clark, Ist l)i --vison New York Appraisers’ Office. Education—Anarchism. A distinguished American has said re cently that he saw but one way to eradi cate the sjiirit of Anarchism, just now lifting its Briarean head in this country, and that was by thoroughly educating the people. There is a mine of wisdom in this opinion. A republic like ours tolera ting freedom of thought, expresssion, and action to such an extent, must de pend for perpetuation on the intelligence and virtue of its citizens. Education is the corner stone, and on it the edifice of our Democratic temple must rest, is safety and perpetuity to be expected. The legislature should encourage the young men of the State to embark in the honor able profession of teaching by every means possible within constitutional limits. No pursuit in which men of lib eral klowledge and limited property may engage is nobler than the instruction of youth in thbse moral, religious and liter ary principles which adorn humanity. Education, we believe, is to be the giant that shall destroy the viper of Anarchism. With it, we may, like St. Paul, shake off the serpent into a con suming fire. —Exchange. Every Woman Knows Them. The human body is much like a good clock or watch in its movements; if one goes too slow or too fast, so follow all the others, and bad time results; if one organ or set of organs works imperfectly, perversion of functional effort of all the organs Is sure to follow. Hence it is that the numerous ailments which make woman's life miserable are the direct issue of the abnormal action of the uter ine system. For all that numerous class of symptoms —and every woman knows them—there is one untailing remedy, Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription,” the favorite of the sex. Uncle’s Faf Wile. Why is the letter P like uncle’s tat wife going uj) hill? It makes ant pant (aunt), and cooling off tqo soon produces coughs and colds.

Drexel, of Drexel, Morgan A Cos., passed through the city this morning en route from Chicago to New York. Mr. Drexel is the senior member of the firms that took a prominent part in the reorganization of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In an interview Mr. Drexel said: “The stories that have been published from time to time about a stringency in the money market have been exaggerated. In fact, there has been no stringency in the money market. There has been to a certain extent a timidity in some circles to let out money, but not to the extent the public has been led to believe. Of coure in business aflairs ever and anon the unexpected is happening, but I con sider that to-day the financial condition of the country is good. It is true that there has been an inflation of real estate in the West, but not to the extent that it is likely to react against the prosperity of the country. It will be checked before it reaches that stage ” “Do you regard the business outlook for the coming year as favorable?” “As 1 said, business at present is good, in sections butgenerally through out the country. We are now on a good solid foundation. While it is still a little early to make predictions for the coming year, I consider that the future outlook bright. There is no reason why this prosperity should not continue, 1 think there will be fair demand for money for the remainder of the year. There is al ways a tightening of the money market at the end of each year, and this may be expected about January. 1 consider, however, that the present outlook points ADVEItTIHEM DNS The Four ant-Am ericas is the only Paper Published in one ok the Best CduNTiKs in North Georgia.

S. in measles and fever, from one of the best known physicians practicing in Georgia. It will Is* seen that he strongly testifies to tin* happy results accuring from the us** of this medicine in preventing the frequently very serious consequences that follow an attack of measles. The resultant effects of an attack of measles remain in tin* system for mouths, and unless great care is exercised the lingering poison in the blood will -attack some vital part of tin* system, endangering life. We take great pleasure in giving the wildest possible circulation to this eminent physician's candid and manly letter written in tin* cause of suffering humanity. Ellavii.le, Ga., March 31, 1887. My Dear Sirs—l have ussd your S. S. S. medicine with exceptional laenefit on patients convalescing from measles. A feature of that disease is that it leaves the mucous membrane chronically in flamed —that is, the iuflamatiou con tinues from four to six months. I have given it to seveial patients just getting out of bed from the measles, and always with the happiest results. I also used S. S. S. in convalescent fever cases with the best result. It will, in my judgment, prevent summer dysentery, if one will take a few bottles in the spring, thus preparing the bowels for tin* strains of summer. 1 am prompted to send you this letter, because just now 1 am aware that measles prevail in Southwest Georgia.

Paris, October 8. —Franc? was in a state of intense excitement a few days ago, because Le Gaulois published a few lines to this effect: “The tomb of the Invalides is empty. The remains of the Emperor Napoleon I. have been stolen by sacreligious hands, and scattered to the four winds. “Mow has such a profanation been ac complished? When did it take place? Mow has it been proven.” Figaro immediately replied that the story was a hoax, and related an inter view with General Sumpt, governor of the Invalides. Me has guarded the tomb of the emperor for the past nine years, and declares the story false in every de tail. “In the first place,” said the old hero, “before robbers could enter the crypt, tbev must have overthrown a marble balustradeaml broken two bronze doors. The cover of the coffin is a por phyry, and weighs 24,000 pounds. It is fastened by bronze hinges, and to raise this immense block, at least fifteen work men would be obliged to labor for days, not with simple tools, but with compli cated scaffolding, pulleys, ropes and the like. Since Nupoleon was buried in the Invalides not a workman has entered the crypt. Even during the commune not an attempt was made to violate the emperor's tomb. Napoleon's ashes re pose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French ]>eople he so much loved.” After this interview the French nation was satisfied that since May 7, 1801, when the body of the emperor was placed in the marble sarcophagus, in the pres ence of Napoleon 111. Prince Jerome and the dignitaries of state, “not a work man had entered the crypt.” The belief of the French was sadly shaken when Le Gaulois, not willing to be accused of hoaxing the public, an nounced the existenceof documents prov ing its statement. A personage who had a conspicuous role in the administration sent this journal the duplicate of these 217 important documents. From these it is discovered that Napoleon 111, ap pointed a secret commission, charged with accounting for the absence of the ashes of Napoleon I. at the moment of opening of the coffin in the chajael St. Jerome, and that Marechal Yaillaut pre sented to-Napoleon 111. April 27, 18<>1, a report proving the absence of the ashes! 1 he Gaulois added that the original copv of this confidential affair was placed in the hands ot tin* grand chancellor of Mu- Legion of Honor, but, as the archives of the chaucellerie were burnt during the Commune, no one had heard of tin* mys terious documents. W hile these searches are made, I re member a conversation I had sometime, ago with a friend of Enqieror Napoleon 111. Said he: “When the emperor’s re mains shall be removed from Chiselhurst to Farnborough, you will hear some thing very curious with reference to the ashes of Napoleon I.” Then he told me a long history, pledging me to secrecy until the proper time should come for the revelation of these facts. “During the last two years ofhis reign,” said my informant, “Napoleon 111. became a fervent disciple of spiritualism. When he first thought of war with Prus sia, he went incognito to the Invalides every day, and there invoked the spirit of the great conqueror. When he took command ofhis troops he wished to have some tangible relic ofhis hero beside him, something that would compel the spirit of the Napoleon to answer his c?ll. By stealth, at night, the ashes of Napoleon were taken from the Invalides, placed in a portable box, and General Fleury and I were the only ones who knew that the conqueror of Jena accompanied his nephew in all the battles of the Franeo- Prussian war. One of the causes of the disaster at Sedan was the fact that in moving the Emperor’s baggage, the fetich had gone astray. Disheartened because of this calamity Napoleon sur rendered at once. Afterwards it was found that the box, so dear to Napoleoil 111., had passed the Belgian frontier and from there was sent to England. 1 know it was the Emperor’s wish that this fetich should be buried beside him, and feel confident that Napoleon 1. now lies at Chiselhurst,” Bauoneht Althea Salvador.
