of the forests exposes the earth
to the blaze of the sun which

nature has been defied. Nature
is very exacting and any in-

punished sooner or later. The

during the past summer are re-

consequence of the destruction
of the forests. It is suggested

On the night of the 7th inst
at Glcndale station Missouri
the express car of the Chicago
and Alton train was broker!
into the messenger badly beat-
en and a large amount of money
stolen. The St. Louis Railnay
Register calls upon the gover-
'nbr to have the robbers arrest-
''ed laying it is the duty of the
state to do so as all individuals
and companies are entitled to
protection. It is the people
that are to blame says the
Register for it is the inhabitants
of these out-of-the-way stations
who shield the robbers so that
if 'they are canght it is impossi-

wentto Guiteau's cell and tak

cell wall. Guiteau vas very

needsr a reformatory institution
for youthful culprits; the peni-
