The general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church which met in Chicago Oct. made' alterations and additions to their prayer book. This is hard on the members, who have for years been praying by the old system, to have to change time and learn the new notes.

Attest: J. M. Roxev, City Clerk. of the express company at St. Louis.

The letter stated that Barrett had decided to put on au extra man on the route and that the bearer was he and that Frolhinghatu was to leach him the details of the business. The st ranter was allowed to enter the car and took great interest in the movements of the messenger, apparently desiring to learn quickly the ins and outs of the dtitits the letter stated he was to perforin, Frothing-ham's suspicions were not at ail aroused and the stranger impressed him as a quiet, prepossessing companion. The two men busied themselves with accounts, etc, and all went well until a point between St. Louis and Pacific, 41 was reached. Iu the meantime the new assistant was informed that there was nothing more that he could do at that time and he seated himself in a chair, waiting until some new duties should be assigned to him.

Frothingliam was still busily engaged over accounts, with his back turned to "Ciimniings." In the course of lime it became necessary for him to get to the safe, and turning to do so, he saw tbe stranger calmly sitting in the chair, with a cocked revolver leveled at his (Frothiugham's) head. Cummings cautiously approached the dumbfounded messenger and told him if he remained quiet and made no ouicry or raised no alarm, his life would not be endangered, but that if he acted otherwise he could not answer for the consequences. Frothiugham had nothing to do but submit and accoidimt to his the robber hound him hand and foot, pressed a sag in his mouth, tied him to the safe so that he could not move and proceeded with his work. sate had been left open and it took but a few minutes for the robber to secure the bank notes and valuables in the shape of jewelry, etc lie cut open bags containing sliver coin, hnt concluded these were too heavy for him to carry nnd did not disturb their contents. Of gold, however, he took a goodly amount and then proceeded to make good his escape.

The road at this point runs directly aloneside of a high bluff which in some places overhnngs the tracks, making the danger of wrecks, from collisions with bowlders which occasionally fall from above upon the tracks, very great. Trains therefore slack up at this point and run slowly until the danm-mus place is passed. The engineer of train No. 3 did as usual and thus offered the rubber easy means of escape, lie first locked nil but one door aud stepped out on the platform, locked the door from the outside and jumped off. Messenger Frotliingbam in the meantime could do nothing to release himself, not being able even to call for help.

Near Mincke a bowlder had fallen upon the tracks and the train was delayed an hour before, it could be removed. The conductor tried the door of the express ear, but found it locked, and supposing the messenger to be busy did not ask for admittance. At St. Clair be again tried the door and strain found it looked. Listening for a minute he heard the messenger struggling to free himself aud making all the noise possible by kicking with his feet against the side or the car.

The conductor suspected something wrong and burst the door open, finding Frothlnghain as above described. He was quickly released nnd told his experience. The robber had got a start of full two hours and it was useless to run back to try nnd find hint. The train therefore proceeded on its way and arrived in this city I his morning at seven o'clock, on lis return trip. Froth-Ingham seeking the nuperlntenrie it of the company, was closeted with him for some time, at the end of which he commenced preparing Ins official report, refusing to make any statement to outsiders regarding the robbery excepting that the total loss would amount tn aomelhing ovel 150,000.

He was finally landed in jail, but it was thought his self-inflicted injuries would prove fatal.

i' Eaki.t tbe other morning a stonemason, while crossing the Kansas river bridge at Topeka, saw a peculiar looking bundle just outside tbe railing near the center of the bridge. To bis surprise, when opening the bundle, he discovered a baby boy, apparently about six weeks old. Some person bad placed the baby in such a position that had it even stirred it would have fallen into the water. Tbe child was properly cared for, aud the matter placed in tbe hands of the police. present with a view to securing a claim until Uncle Sam has placed his seal of consent upon their passports.

Working on the R. R. in Oklahoma is not profitable owing to the high prices of provisions, consequent from the long distance to transport goods from a shipping point. I found the can family (tomato cans quite numerous in that section. Every good claim along the line of travel, where wood and water abounded seemed to be occupied by them undisturbed.

I learned the given name of a few peach, bean, corn and tomato can, but there seemed to be such a shallow emptiness about them that no nutritious information could be The only dangerous encounter we had was with a tarantula, but at the second charge he surrenderedwith the dying fact that he had been badly corn fed, our victory was complete. A very interesting part of the trip home was watching the efforts and schemes of W. M. B. trying to dispose of a worthless purp, which some thought less person had given him.

His first attempt was with a cow-boy, who, after listening to the eloquent econimums of W. M. B. relative to its' qualifications as a cow dog, said that he was looking for a coon dog. B.

drove on very crestfallen and remarked that he never could afford to take that measly purp back to Geuda Springs and be compelled to pay a tax of one dollar every year on him. He finally succeeded in prevailing on nn unsuspecting settler to keep th-noble canine until he should return and call for If Grover has aspirations for a second term he had better silently remove the soldiers from tbe people's land and let the many homeless men who have been watching nnd waiting so longr'settle down to N.
