A Band of Kentucky Mountain Desperadoes
Repulsed by Detectives.
A FIERCE BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
They Stopped a Train Near Sumeroet, Ky.,
and the Armed Guards on Hoard Shot at
Them ?Two Killed and Two Wounded
?One of the Hohber* Wound* a Boy
SteaJinjj a Hide.
For the first time in iii" history of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad. on? of its
trains has been held up l>y:i buml of mounted
desperadoes and bandits. gathered from the
most lawless part of the Kentucky raining
region?.
Through that part of the State there are
few signs of life and civilization outside of
the mining camps. Twenty-three miles
north of Tennessee State line and sixteen
miles south of Somerset, Ky.. southbound
passenger No. 3 was flagged to a standstill
in a deep cliff of the mountain, between
two mininsr camos at Pino and Greenwood,
aad the train boarded by six mountaineors.
One climbed up beside the engineer in his
rab and shoved a revolver iu his face. Three
others invaded the baggage car, which they
mistook for the express car. They robbed the
baggage master.
For sometime reports that a band of robbers
was encamped in this vicinity hud been reported
to officials of the road, and extra precautions
were taken. The precaution had
been relaxed, but by chance three road detectives
wore aboard the train that morning.
W. S. Eddy and T. C. Allgood. detectives,
were seated in thf smoking car when the
train stopped about 3 a. m.. and stepped out
en the plattormto learn the cause.
They stood on opposite steps of the platform,
and all the time a mountaineer stood
<in the bank with a shotgun levelled at
fcddy's head.' When his companions came
<>ut of the baggage ear he fired, but missed
the mark.
The three robbers wore coming toward the
detective without seeing him. and so he got
the drop on the first mau. killing him instantly;
the second was shot and died in a
few hours. TC ldv's first shot was a signal
for tht> bandits, who bad started for the express
car, to turn toward him. and a fusillade
followed.
The robbers fired wildly and Eddy succeeded
in wouudiug a third, who fled, together
with the guard on the bank. Meantime
Detective Allgood's attention was at4
tracted from the man on the bank to a sixth
coming toward him from the mail car on
his side of the train. He lired and thought
the man was wounded in the breast. When
.he reached the spot he found all traces of
the. wounded man gone.
The man on the engine became alarmed
and started to the assistance o. the scattering
band. A tramp whom he mistook for a
etrainman he shot in the breast. The tramp
is only ninteen years old. He had climbed
up on the tender of the online and was put
off at Cumberland Falls. He was thought to
be a wounded robber, but it was soon found
that he was William Parker, of Pittsburg, a
boy of good family.
Dr. Reddish, his attending physician, received
a telegram from the boy's father and
had him taken to his hospital at Somerset,
Kv.
The dead bandits are Jerry Harbin, the
leaueroi me Danci, a uesperaie ciiura<.-i?r imui
the adjoining couuty of Wuvne, and his son.
Tom Harbin.
At least two of the escaped bandits were
hadly wounded. The bodies of the two killed
were carried to Greenwood, the nearest
station, and a Coroner's jury impanelled.

no or two seasons of these pilgrimages
rould make the grounds appear as if the

Not long ago Bismarck chanced upon a
Toup of ladies and caught them in the act of

RICH REI
In the body of an adult person there are
about 18 pounds of blood.
Tho blood has as its most important elements,
small round corpuscles, red and
white, In proportion of about 300 red to 10
white ones.
II the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased the
blood is impure, thin, lacking in the nutrition
necessary to sustain the health and
nerve strength of tho body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
acruiuia, oau imeum, ur umora ui 1.11c juuj
train of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
a reliable blood medicine like Hood's Sareaparilla,
which acts upon the red corpuscles,
enriching them and increasing their number.
It thus restores the vital fluid to hoalthy
condition, expels all impurity, cures Nerv- 1
ousness, That Tired Feeling, Scrofula and
all other diseases arising from or promoted 1
by low state of the blood.
That these statements are true we prov> .
not by our own statements, but by what
thousands of perfectly reliable people say :
about Hood's Sarsaparilla. Road the testi- I

The Blood Purifier an
The Mongol Triad.
in tne evolution 01 uapan, tjmna
and Korea, war has been the most important
factor. The three started
with about the same bravery, the same
military skill and the same love of
conquest. Their annals disclose exhibition
of wonderful courage, of
noble heroism in defeat and magnanimity
in triumph. Each Has had
its ups and downs, yet at the present
timo they are so different as to justify
cause for surprise, writes Margherita
Arlina Hamm under the caption "The 1
Mongol Triad," in the Overland
Monthly. <
"The Chinese are as brave as can
be, but their bravery is cold and fantastic.
They have no love of nationality,
no love of war and no love of :
life. i
"Very different are the Japanese, j
They love life and gayety, war and ]
fatherland. They have superstitions, i
but while believing in them, laugh at <
them as if capital jokes. They are as ,<
brave as tiger oats. When the Ameri- [
can and English gunboats bombarded 1
the Shiminosaki forts thirty odd years
ago, the garrisons never fliuohod nor
faltered. They served the old smoothbores
against their enemy antil they
were shot down.
"The.third type, that of the oitizen
of the 'Land of the Morning Calm,' is
inferior to the other two. It is difficult
to describe and more diffi alt to j
understand. Physically the Korean (
j is strong and healtbyj nevertheless,
he shirks his work if employed and j
does a boy's task if his own master. <
He has, times numberless, displayed i
great valor, yet nine times out of ten i
his conduct is savage, cruel and j
cowardly. On the coast he wrecks 1
ships, loots the cargo and. masBaores
, the crew. Inland he robs the traveler ,
and any one else he can lay hands on." ,
The Power Inside a Piano.
The general notion of what happens 1
in the interior of the piano when the ,
] finger presses a key may be conveyed j
! in the simplest terms. Would you '
! believe that the power developed when j
| the strings of yonr piano are tuned to I
I the proper pitch equals energy suffl- <
! nipnt to raiss twelvo tone one foot from
I the ground? If it has ever been your
misfortune to be present when the
string frame of a piano was fractured,
the above statement will require no
confirmation. A thunderbolt scarce*
j ly makes a greater uproar, au eurth|
quake causes little more destruction.
The writer happened to be playing on
one occasion, with what,. in his conceit,
he imagined to be great effect.
He felt he was being admired by the
men and worshiped by the women,
when, as he brought his fingers down
for a magnificent finale, he instantly .
found himself upon the floor with the .
piano stool on hts stomach, while the
piano itself presented awrenkof keys, *
1 lids, mechanism, and serpent-like .
wires. Struggling to his feet, dazed, t
his stuttering questions as to what in 1
the name of ali the gods and demons *
had happened, were answered by a fin- j
ger pointing to the ruins of what had e

Last ot the Tribes ot Powhatan. .
The tribes of Powhatan, as found by ~j '
John Smith, were farmers and fishers, $.:'i
dwelling in fixed habitations. They ;' $5
relies mainly for their support upon +
agriculture, their most important crop -.Vj
being corn. From the marshes they
obtained wild rioe and "tookaho," the . v|H
tubers of the latter being used for V^S
making bread They tookvfish in net* s
woven of vegetable fibre or in wain
made of twisted stalks of weeds. Their ^
?sh-hooks were of bone,- but they - ^
knew how to shoot fish with arrows.
Their canoes, hollowed out of logs,
were sometimes fifty feet long and
oapable of carrying forty men.
Their houses were from thirty-fire
to fifty fe6t long, covered with bark' v
or mats. Tho fire, produced by twirl-f
ing a pointed stiok in a hole in a block , <.?
of wood, was in tho centre of the cab- v
in, around the sides of which was *
low platform, covered with mats or
skins, on whioh the inmates sat or lay. i
Oatside the door was a huge mortar,
ilug out of a log, fox grinding corn.:
rhe Bummer diess of adults was,A
breech-cloth or short apron. To this
was added in winter a mantel of deer-1 / lr
skin or of turkey-feathers. The wo-'
men and children did all the workJ
while the men ate, slept, or danoed,' \
when not engaged in the chase or in -|l
war. As soon as their corn was gathered
in the fall, they went up into the hill!
jountry to hunt. This brought them
into collision with other tribes and
jave rise to constant wots. 'itfl
