ENGINEER SHOT DEAD AND TRAIN ROBBED WORK OF A SINGLE DESPERADO 11 MONTANA WILDS Bloodhounds Are on is Track-A Bewar4 of S5.000 O$ered For His Body, Dead or Alive -Boasiwd of Another Robbery. .Missoula, Mont,, Oct. 24.-Ar eastbound passenger train on the Northern Pacific was held up lasi night near Drummond, Mont., 42 miles from this city, and Engmneei Dan O'Neill was killed. The train, which included mail, baggage and express cars and nine coaches arrived at Missoula* at 10.20 p. in., and proceeded eastward after ,a short delay at the station. It ar rived after midnight at a place two miles west of Drummond. Here the train was signalled to stop and the engineer .slowed up. While doing so, he saw a man creeping toward him over the tender. The man, who was armed, called to O'Neill to stop the train instantly. The engineer took in the situation at once and pulling open the throt tle, tried to starf, the train at funl speed. The robber divined his pur pose, and fired at him. The shot took instant effect and the engineer fell dead at his post. The robber then proceeded to rifle the express and mail cars. He plun dered the regular mail and blew open the safe in the express car which was wrecked by the explosion. The amount; of plunder he secured is not known at present but it is snp posed to be large. The excitement on the train was intense. The sud den stoppage of the train followed soon by the explosion, spread alarm among the train hands and the pass engers. The darkness of the night and the lonelhness of the place added to the general scenes of 'terror. Word of the attack was sent to Drummond, whence it was tele graphed to Deer Lodge, about 50 miles away. Bloodbounds were sent out at once and steps were tal'en to keep vigilant wvatch for the robbers. It was assumed that at least eight men were engaged in the bold-up, but the latest advices are that one man alone perpetrated the murder and r~obbery. Dan O'Neill, the dead engineer, lived in this city and had a wife and five children. He had been in the service of the Northern Pacific longer than any other engineer. atest Iling keeps the wheel turning her< adopted my plan since I came to arge you what they pleased.

He made this boast to the train hands to terrorize them while he employed them to run the train four miles to a point two miles east of Drummond. He declared that he would be hard to catch, as he had a horse on the timber. . The Northern pacific has offered a reward of $5,000 for delivery7- dead or alive, of the train robber who killed O'Neill. The mask worn by the bandit was found on a mounitain trail, two miles from the scene oT the hold up and that after giving the hounds the scent of the mask, the animals im mediately took up the trail, which* was then about eighxt hours old. The PssworcI. [Philadelphia Ledger.] Booker T. Washington recently told a gathering of negroes that one of the great faults of his race was a disposition to exhibit knowledge4 under any and all circumstances, and asserted that, until the negro1 learned not to disply his vanity, he was useless in any confidential ca-i pacity. By way of illustration, he< told a story which, he said, might, be < or might not be apocryphal but a which was good enough to be true. * Gen. Sherrr.an had been told that t the soldiers of a negro regiment in I his command were very lax when on sentry duty, and showed a fondness 6 for passing doubtful persons th rough c the lines just to indulge their power to do so. To ascertain if this were i so, he muffled himself one night in a s cloak, and tried to. get past a black t sentry, After the "Who goes there?"i the "A friend," and the "Advance, friend, and give the countersign," Ii had been exchange2, Sherman re plied: ' Roxbury !" ( "No, sah!" was the polite but firm c response. t "Medford!" ( "No, sah!" "Charleston!" Sherman next tried. ( "No, sh!" t "No, sah! No sahi!" said the ne- a gro, determinedly.

Practical Densonstratlong from Kecklen burg County, In North Carolina. The Charlotte Observer says that the value of good roads has had a practical demonstration in Meeklen burg County for a number of years past. In fact, the movement origin ated in this county and Charlotte has been the Mecca of numerous delega tions seeking information on the building of good roads. The move ment in Mecklenburg has never been permitted to lag and each month sees an addition to the good roads. The movement in Mecklenburg has never been permitted to lag and each month sees an addition to the good roads mileage of the county. In otber parts of the county where there has been a halt efforts are being made !or a revilal of good road building. The good roads bureau of the Umited States government is doing excellent service in its work of arousing the people to the value of good highways mnd has recently given out some fig ires, the entire correctness of which will be substantiated by the people >f Mecklenburg, who have had expe ience with all sorts of roads. The mnrea endorses the report of its en ~ineer, who 'finds that the cost of noving one ton by horsepower over >ne mile of sandy roads is 62 cents, iver damp sand 32 cents, over ruts and mud 39 cents, over broken stone ~nd ruts 26 cents, over an earth road hat is diy and hard 18 cents, over a iroken stone roaa in good condition cents, over a compact gravel road .8 eents, over stone paving 5.33 ents, over asphalt 2.7 cents. The value of improved roads is emonstrated in another way by a rriter in Lippincott's Magazine, who alls of the improvement to a road 2 N w Jersey. He says: "Formerly it took a wagon, weigh. cig 1,900 pounds, with four horses nd two men, to haul 2} tons of pro luce to market from a Camden sounty farm and bring back a load if fertilizer of the same weight, and hen it took a whole day doing it. )ften enough the wagon got mired ,d then it took more than a' day. )ver one of the [new roads it now akes only one man, two horses and wagon, weighing 2,300 pounds, to~ arry a load of four tons to market ad bring another load of the same reight back; and the round trip is aade in half a day."

Dne Dollar OH'S. that in the face of such evidence, "it is wonderful, not that the movement is growing, but that it is not growing more rapidly." It cites the fact that the State of North Carolina is build ing a road over the Blue Ridge mountains, whose greatest grade will be one foot in thirty. "The road will be an expensive one to build," says the New Orleans paper, "but will pay for itself in the hauling of the first three crops. One horse cana-. draw as much over this road as three could over the mount.ain roads now ' in existence, which - amounts to the difference between affluence and penury to the one-horse farmer.". The farmers of this part of the coun try have seen enough of the beneficial results of good roads to convince them that money wisely expended in their construction is money in their pockets. In this section of good roads no man can be found to raise a voice against them. At first the farmers regarded the movement with indiffer ence, but this feeling -did not last long, and a cry for good roads came - up from all parts of the country. The most serious trouble encoun tered by the road-building authori ties has been, snd is yet, to build the roads fast enogh and in a sufficient number of different directions to please the people..
