Robbers Did Not Molest Pas- sengers. CONFINED 'PHEIR OPERATIONS TO MAIL AND EXPRESS CARS. GOF A FEW MAIL BAGS. Salt Lake City, Utwh, Oct 14.-The Union Pacific train due here at 3:15 this morning was held up a short dis- tiince from Vintah, at the mouth of Weber Canon and about eight miles Trom Ogden. A train was made up at Ogden and sent to the sceue of the rob- bory and orders were given to organize it posse and run the robbers down. The passengers were not molested, the rob- bers confining their operations to the mail and express cars. Railway officials report that all the booty secured was a few mail bags, but whether these con- tained any valuables is not known. The robbers, two in number, boarded the tririn at Peterson, a small station in the heart of Weber Ganon. > If the special train bearing the officers make good time, it is possible that the bandits may be caught, as it is impos- sible for them to get out of the canon sare by the Eastern routes and all sta- tions east of Tintah have been notified of the robbery. The robbers surprised the engineer by suddenly rising up from behind the tank and covering him with a gun. 'They gave the fireman a cotton sack and told him to put it over his head. The engineer was then told to run along until ordered to stop. A few seconds later the robber on the engine hid been joined by another and the train was ordered stopped. The bag- gige and express cars were uncoupled and run ahead of the train some 200 yards and both the mail and express cars were broken open. 'The robbers failed, however, to get into the safe. After the robbers left the train was made up again and taken into Ogden. onar c, HARTLAND.

Hugtington and patriots of his sort advaince against any essay in Government ownership of railvoads-such fin essay, for ex- ample, as would be made should the Government exert its right to foreclose on some of the railroads now fraudu- lently held by Mr. Huntington-is that a new and dangerous element would be introduced into national politics. Think of the tremendous power of an Admin- istration which controlled the positions of the hundreds of thousands of rail- way employes in the nation, say the gentlemen who now conduct the roads for their own profit at the general ex- pense. 'Think of the coercion, of the political assessments, of the discrimi- nations practiced for partisan ends pos- sible under public ownership. And so, having pointed out evils which are un- questionably possible under public con- trol, these interested patroits turn to their regular occupation of giving a lively illustration of the evils which are notorious under private ownership. Just at present the people are taking the railroad managers at their word and doing a heap of thinking. 'They can discern with the greatest clearness that even under so astute and unseru- pulous a manipulator of political pat- ronage as Senator Quay or Mr. Platt Government roads would not be a whit more \in politics\ than most of the railroads are to-Gay. No national Ad- ministration would dare to permit the officials in charge of the railroad bureau to refuse excursion rates to representa- tives of one political party and grant rates so low as to be wholly unremun- erative to representatives of another. It is impossible to conceive to-day of a President or Cabinet officer compelling employes in any department to wear campaign buttons, to attend partisan meetings, or to enroll themselves in clubs of a cerfain political faith on pain of dismissal and blacklisting. Nor would Government roads make cam- paign contributions. These things the railroads do to-day. Twenty-five years ago the Administration perhaps might have paralleled them, in the days when militarism was still potent in Wash- ington. To-day _ no - Administration would venture upon them. Coercion when attempted in the civil service is veiled, not brutally enforced. In the years to conie the railroad managers of this country will find their infamous record of 1896 coming up to plague them. Not only the interstate roads, but street railways, telegraph and telephone companies, gas and elec- tric light concerns-in short, all the possessors of natural monopolies, which many people think should be held for all the people, have shown this year that corporations are as deep in politics as the politicians themselves, and that under even an extreme socialistic organization of society the political liberties of the citizen could not be mofe restrained than they are to-day-or will be if Mark Hanna and his satel- lites have their way.-N.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-A great deal of re- gret is felt at the Salvation Army bar- rancks over the death at Buttee, Mont., of Helen Forsland, alias Kate Evans, once of famous frontier bandit, who was Eonverted suddenly and for several years lived alife of honor and piety. It is reported that the woman died from the effects of poison, administered by her own hands. « Helen Forsland was one of the most noted characters that ever haunted the western states and was implicated in stage robberics in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana and California, She went for many years attired in man's clothing with her hair cut short. Her sweetheart sacrificed himself for her and is now serving out a life sen- tence in the San Quantin prison be. cause of his devotion. She was touched by his faithfulness and began to muse on the step which he had taken. for her sake. While thus meditating she was in the prison at Butte, and was con- verted by a Salvationist and joined the Army. > No Change in Bismark's Condition.

We are all on.\ -New York Journal. THE COUNTRY CLUB. From Harper's Bazar. Women of the smart set are cultivat- ing all kinds of outdoor sports with as great vehemence as twenty years ago they denounce them. With what re- sult? 'That we find on every cheek a natural bloom, lips that are indeed \cherry ripe,\ arms rounded and mus- cular, limbs straight and strong, a healthy tone to the voice, a sparkle in the eye, and an unshackled freedom of manner that, while it books no indigni- ties and responds to no false notes, rings true to the healthy intercourse that exists between young men and women of the day. - The country club is in a measure re- sponsible for this revolution among women. The spirit of emulation is in the very atmosphere. It is the uncon- scions motif, perhaps, of the entire organization. - Good-natured rivalry engenders a steady growth in the popu- larity of the sports. If Miss Blank plays cricket to the admiration of everybody, if her victory over the bi- eycle, her prowess with golf clubs and tennis bat, her cleverness in driving a team of spirited horses, or her admira- ble seat in the saddle, are subject for discussion at the club, there is not a young women member who does not secretly strive for the same honors. As you study the different types of health and beauty represented you are at a loss to determine which to admire most. - From a moral point of view, too, the country club has its advantages. In the old days of the faithful duenna, the careful chaperon-the days,\ in short, when every society girl had a guard placed upon her actions-the tendency to think and act wrong 'the minute she escaped the vigilant eye of her keeper was one that in many in- stances _ was dangerously strong. Young people have no greater love of being- watched than they of maturer years. It produces a false idea of life, this careful espionage. But with the birth of the country club much of this is done away with, Men and women meet there on neutral gfound. They are pitted against each other in the struggle for supremacy of - brawn and muscle. 'The lower instincts of life are forgotten. Young girls are not being of some dreadful ca- tastrophe-an old-time belief in the re- sult of bringing together of the opposite sexes. With the disappearance of the guard there springs into existence a new and fresher view of life. 'The de- butante feels herself a free agent. She may do and act as she pleases. No thought of evil has entered her soul, nor is there time for it. She meets the young man of her acquaintance on equal ground. He respects and ad- mires her, entering into her daily amusements, her daily converse, with the same freedom that exists among ' coterie of girls reared in a refined and healthful _ atmosphere. The surveil- lance once removed, the cause for its existence has likewise vanished. Perilous Traveling in Cuba. New York, Oct. 14. -A special to the Herald from Havana says a morning passenger train leaving Havana over the Western Railway for Artemisa on Monday was fired upon by' the insur- gents beyond Rinson. - The military guards on the train returned the fire, wounding several of the attacking party.\ An afternoon freight train from Artemisa was also fired upon between Alquirzar and Guiria.
