HOW THE ARMORED TRAIN I

London, Oct. 14.?Further do
tails are at hand regarding the
destruction of the ar/nored train
at lCraaipan. These show that
O'apt. Nesbit, who was in corn
mand of the train, was Warned at
Mkribogo that the Boers held the
line. He reolied that he
bound to proceed. Nearing Krua
ipan fhe train dashed into a "Divert
that had been blown up by
th& Boers, who were lying in wait
foV thfe train. The Boer artillery
immediately opened fire and a
desperate fight appears to have
ensued, lasting four hours, with
the odds greatly against the Brit
' Uh. The precise details are un
certain.
It seems, however, that a police
patrol, attracted by the firing, ap
pro&ched within about 5,b00
yards of Rraaipon, saw the train
ditched, with the Boer artillery
stilt pounding at it, but noticed
no response. The Boers seemed
afraid to approach until the wreck
was complete, ahd the police
patrol feared, as there was no

the entire force had perished in a
desperate attempt to get ihe train

knew it. was anxiously awaited
with its load of guns and ammu

It is reported that the Boers

of verifying this. Two miles of
tails were torn up.
There is no authoritative confirmation
of the report that a

between Gen. Sir George Stewart

"Drinkin' whiskey! Why, they'r
dnnkin' more whiskey than the;
ever did before 1"
"But we never see ftny bar
rooms," I remarked.
"No, they ain't no bars an' the
ain't no signs of a bar ; but they'
drinkin' "
"then I rode through the Stat
without seeing a barroom, a drun
ken man, or a sign tip wher
whiskey was for sale. Valuabl
corners were occupied by stores
and the money that used to go int
the open saloons was going irtt
tbe stores. I found that Kansa
used to send out $15,000,000 t
Peoria and Kentucky for whiskej
and now she is sending out abou
a million a year. I found tha
kansas is now savintr throin?
temperance $14,000,000 a yeai
and in ten years will save $140
000.000 ; and still that red-nose
lounger in the smoking car is cor
tinually screeching through th
car: ^They's drinkin' more whii
key in Kansas thaii they ever di
before!"
Up in liaine 1 heard the dam
whiskey drinkers' retrain. 1
never came from a church men
ber or from a prosperous, mora
business man. It always cam
from a drinking mau. So durin
my l&st. trip through Elaine
decided to investigate and tin
out if the law Drevent.intr rtmr
kenness doubled the drunkardsif
the law presenting the sale <
whiskey really increased the sal
ot it,
Well, a lectu re engagemer
called me up to Farmingtoi
25 miles north of Lewistoi
The engagment was for Saturda
night. I had to drive up froi
Lewiiton. It was a $10 rid
through the snow.
"This is a temperance Sta1
isn't it ?" I said to the stable ma
as he was hi?6hiin? his team.
"Temperance State I" he e:
claimed ! "Why, they're pourir
down Whiskey here'?drinki,
more'n ihey ^ver did! before."
"Hadn't, you better take a hi
milk punch before we start?"
said.,
"Hot milk punch!" he said, h
eyes snapping with joy; "yes,
would tastef g6od; but you can
get those fftnev dfinlrn nn
N6 bard, you know, an1 youS
got to make them fancy drinks ;
home."
4'But when there is so muc
drinking tliere must be bars ne;
by,'/ J said.
"Well, they're drinkin,' all tj
same, but we don't have bars. W
have to manage a little, and
takes time, you know."
So we started off for the lot
twenty-five-mile ride through tl
snow. We passed several hote

and stopped and warmed. There
.. were no barrooms and hot lemonades
were the only drinks to be
y bad.
8 We found Farmington without
a bar, and a thorough temperance
e town. The audience that greeted
, me showed temperance, intelli0
gence and prosperity in their
e faces.
Coming back the next morning,
0 I said to my driver: "It is strange
o that people will so traduce this
8 temperance State."
0 ''"they don't traduce it," said
r> the driver. "They's drinkin' goin'
on here. I can get you a drink."
it "You can get me a drink," I
h said with an accent on the "can."
"Why, of course you can," I said
r enthusiastically, "and when we
d get to Lewiston we'll have some
k. nice hot whiskey, won't we?"
ie I noticed my man didn't en!
thuse. Then after a moment's
j thought he remarked:
"I'm afraid I'll be too busy
putting out my horse ; but I could
'e get you a drink if I had time,"
. "But I'll pay a boy tor unhitch '
ing the horse," I said, as we drove
I* into the Lewiston stable. "Now,
ie let's have the drink, come on !"
g "All right," said the driver. "I
I think I can get a drink; but
d mebby the whiskey is out, and
x. we'll have to take bottled beer."
_ Then I followed him through
the dried Weeds and snow along J

and said:.

"A what?"
"A club."
"Yes, I'll join anything to get

"Come' along, then. I know

"Fifty cents is the price of
membership," he said, holding out
a card with my name written on
it. Then we went to the next
room, where there was a bottle of
whiskey on the table. I took it in
my hand and smelt of it
"What is it?" I asked.
"Oh, don't be afraid of it. It's
whiskey."
It was whiskey?Maine whiskey,
but such whiskey ! My man
had kept his word. I looked at /

I A Well known Milled of Minneapolis
Expires of Heart Trouble.
Charles A. Pillebury, the wellknown
miller, died .of .heart disease
at his home in Minneapolis
last Sunday afternoon. Last win'
ter he made an extended visit to
n.urope wnere nis pnysicians told
him his heart trouble was due to
mental over work and latek of
physical exercise. When he returned
home he thought his
health was much improved but a
relapse occurred last week from
which he could not rally.
Mr. G. W. Friend, editor of The
Forum, Eldon, Iowa, says* "After
suffering for a period of over two
years with impaired heart action
and nervous debility, I began th?
use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure together
with Dr. Miles Nervine.
Before the first bottle was gone 1
could see an improvement in my
condition, ahd after continuing
the medicines for a few weeks my
heart action was perfect and I
was a well man."
