Xr.w Youk, October 12. "Kube Bur
rows, the train robber who was killed in
Alabama the other day," said a well-known
Xew York contractor, "worked for me some
ten years ago at Silver City, Ark. The
place was then a mere mining camp and it
held a little the worst crowd of men I ever
saw on top of earth. Uube was only a fair
specimen.
"As is usually the case in such remote
places, peopled by such fellows, there was
practically no law save what is carried in
every man's belt or boot-leg. The deadly
"Winchester was always within easy reach,
day or night. Xo man stirred out, after
night especially, unless he was a walking
arsenal. Shootings, stabbings and episodes
of that nature were of constant occurrence.
Assassinations similar to those of Clayton
and the more recent attempt upon Brecken
ridge, were common, though, owing to the
insignificance of the principals, very little
would be heard of such events.
DIED -WITH THEIE BOOTS OX.
"I don't believe there was a man of that
gang that worked for me but had been shot
or stabbed himself or had shot or stabbed
somebody else. "Wc had a graveyard out
there in the hills and I believe three-fourths
of its permanent residents bad died with
their boots on. Of course, things have
changed since then and Silver City is now
quite a respectable place.
"This Itube Burrows drove a team. He
was a great rawboned, strapping fellow, with
a cold blue eye and a nerve like iron. His
last adventure in breaking jail showed the
sort of a man he was lor nerve. I don't
believe that fellow cared any more for death
than you would care for missing your dinner
hour. Two men as tough as he was, who
had long nourished a grudge against Cube
and were waiting an opportunity to get even
with him without danger to themselves, one
night suddenly poked a brace of 44's plump
into his lace. " Rube was leaning against
the bar and reflecting on the uncertainties
of playinc faro by systems. There was a
game in full blast at the back and Rube
had just been cleaned out. This pair of
ruffians caught him just that way.
itonn's COOLSESS.
"Well, Bube never moved a muscle
never so mucb as an eyelid. Those fellows
thought he would go for his gun and Rube
was devilish quick on a trigger but he
didn't. If he had tried that he would have
been riddled. The unexpected always hap
pens. So it did then. Rube looked them
straight in the eyes, and the pistols might
have been so many cucumbers so lar as he
was concerned. Then he laughed con
temptuously and told the barkeeper to set
up three drinks. I
"I never saw such nerve! His presence
of mind was wonderrul! Jfobody under-stood
better when to fight and when not to fight
than Rube Burrows. It was instinctive.
He realized in a second that men who do
not shoot at once will probably not shoot at
all unless compelled to do so.
"What was the result? Why, Eube
afterward shot both of them, killing one.
The other fellow skipped out.
"57es, we used to have high old times ont
there then. The boys always treated me
pretty well. I got shot only lour times.
After one of these scraps and while my
right arm was still in a sling, I walked into
a saloon and up against a hard crowd. One
of this gang, a man named Selter, had as
sassinated a man in cold blood.
A PLTCKY DETECTIVE.
"The victim was an old man and was in
his front yard unarmed at the time, while
his slayer was in hiding, and irom his am
bush put two loads of blugs through him
with a double-barreled shotgun. That place
-was no place to serve a warrant, you'd bet
ter believe, but a Hot Springs detective
named Larry Hazen, a relative of Phil
Armour's, came out there at the instigation
o' the members of the old man's family to
hunt up the murderer. I was driving from
Hot Springs back to the mines (about 30
miles), and picked up Hazen. 1 told him
he would go to certaiu death, but he was a
nlueky fellow and insisted on his dangerous
jiroject. I cave him the protection of mv
house at Silver City my house was a reg
ular JorJ.
'Now, I knew pretty well if the gang got
vrcud of the fact that this detective had ever
been my accidental companion, let alone a
Member of my household, they'd probably
shoot my head off and permit me to explain
afterward. But I was firmly convinced
that nobody knew anything about the man,
and ihougut if they did find it out after
ward it would be w hen he had gone. He
had asMireJ me that he merely came to hunt
up evidence of the murder and would leave
the arrest to other authority.
FACING DEATH.
"Well, when I sauntered into that saloon
and saw the looks thrown my way I real
ized at once that I was a suspected man.
Salter himself, the murderer, Uood right
there face to face with me. To say I was a
trifle flustered is putting the thing mildly.
My heart stopped beating for a few seconds,
and when I observed peculiar movement
ol Salter's rieht arm I expected it to stop
beating forever, lor he had a clever trick of
a knife up the sleeve.
"I knew that knife was there when he
moved over along the bar toward me just as
well as if I had seen it. In fact. I saw it in
juy imagination gleaming througn the coat.
I Knew that man would no more hesitate to
shove that blade between my ribs than he
would to kick a dog. But almost any man
put in a corner will face death unflinching
ly. He wouldn't hunt up danger would
probably run if he had a chance but being
In tor it and no escape he will usually de
velop nerve enough to face the music That
is the way I felt. I asked Salter to have a
drink and invited the others to join me.
" ;l don't drink,' he replied, gruffly.
"This was considered sufficient provocation
out mere to tin a man, you know. But in
stead of resentiug his refusal in that way, I
retorted in the familiar rough language cus
tomary amonc that sort ot men:
BCEKOtVS AS A rUACEMAKEB.
" '-h, j,o to I Take some whisky, vou
bloody liar put out that black bottle here!'
" M say I don't drinkl' he repeated.
" 'Be careful of my arm '
"Rube Burrows stepped up. He had two
big pistols strapped to him. It was a cold
day, but he had no coat on and his grav
flannel shirt was thrown open at the neck
displaying his hairy breast He was lully
half a head taller than me, and looked down
even on Salter, who was a powerfully built
man. And usualy he was cool of manner
almost frigid. I was very nearly frigid my
self, you can bet. To tackle this murderer
with my one arm in a sling was quite
enough. Rubo Burrows was equal to a
dozen ordinary men when it came to blood.
It was at once apparent, however, that Sal
ter was uncertain whether Rube was going
to stand by him or stand by me, or whether
he had it in for both of ns. I wasn't clear
on that point myself, but being in a desper-
COO
AS A CUCUMBER
ate hole, anyhow, one or a dozen more of
this sort could make very little difference.
It was not an open question long, however,
for Rube nodded to me and said, senten
tiously: " 1 drink
ALL HAXDS DEIKK.
"You see, this wouldn't have much sig
nificance here. But as the refusal of Salter
meant war, this voluntary offer meant just
the opposite. The warm blood besran again
to chase up and down my spinal column.
" "Right you are,' said I. 'Another glass
so does Salter,' I added, suddenly turn
ing upon him. 'You drink ?'
"He sullenly poured out about four
fingers of the stuff, and we put down tho
liquor unanimously. You sec he was afraid
of Rube. That ended that part of it I
lound the next day that a messenger had
come in ahead of me from Hot Springs and
told Salter that I was piloting an officer to
Silver Cityto arrest him for murder, and
that Salter had sworn to kill me on sight.
To make the thing still more interesting my
big boy had been posted, and at the very
moment when Rube interfered stood at the
window with a Winchester covering the
body of Salter. He had been watching the
latter's movements all day. But for Rube
Burrows, however, I dare say I should have
been a dead man.
"What became of Salter ? Oh, he's alive
yet, I guess. Though Rube had a row with
him and shot him lull of holes. He went
down in a faro bank the first fire, and
wriggled all ovr the floor on his hands and
knees, Rube emptying every chamber of his
revolver into him and yelling at him to lie
still and be finished. But Salter got over it.
The daughter ot the man he murdered
offered 55,000 to anv man who would kill
him. He finally lit out for the South."

Poisoned
by Scrofula
Is the sad story of many lives made miserable
through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more
especially than any other a hereditary disease,
ana for this simple reason: Arising from im
pure and insufficient blood, the disease locates
itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of
white tissues; thero is a period of festal life
when the whole body consists of white tissues,
and therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease. Bnt
there is
A Remedy for Scrofula,
whether hereditary or acqulicd. It is Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect upon
the blood, expels every trace of tbo disease
and gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color of health.
Abscess on the Neclc.
"My daughter had an abscess on her neck
for five or six years, being all the time under
care of physicians without any perceptible re

The Present Sit nation Very MucU Resembles
That of the Break Down of 1884.
Nkw York, October 12. Henry Clews' Fi
nancial Circular says: The points of greatest
weakness have shown mora power of resistance
than was expected, and altogether the way In
which tho market has met the pressure of rcal
izings upon large blocks of stocks implies a re
servo of resource which has materially helped
to sustain confidence. There are sound reasons
why this should be' the case. For while, In the
nature ot its causes, the present situation very
much resembles that which culminated in the
Treat break down at the middle of 18S4, yet
within lato years there has been nothing ap
proaching the extent of general speculative de
rangement that had existed previous to 'Si nor
has tho recent over-construction of railroad
gone to anything like the excesses of mileage
or of over capitalization that prevailed in the
former period. Durinc lato years, the general
trade of the country has been condnctcd In a
conservative spirit, and for much of the newly
built road there has been a certain measure of
legitimate need in the unprecednntedly rapid
development of onr material resources. Prop
erly speaking, therefore, the excesses for which
we are now paying the penalty have been tne
excesses of vigor and not of weakness.
For this reason we aro In a position to meet
the current reaction with a compactness of re
source that e have never before possesed un
der similar situations; and the process of read
justment may therefore be expected to proceed
with correspondingly more smoothness and ex
emption from disaster. Moreover, the reaction
has set in at a period of comparative quiet in
speculation at the Stock Exchange ana has be
gun not witb an inflated but a moderate range
of prices for stock". Also, It is to be consid
ered that the position of the bank reserves per
uiltsa hope that no stringsney in tho money
market may seriously aggravate the difficulties
In the stock market.
The large decline in prices during the week
has been stimulated by a heavy break in
Americans at London, which showed that no
recuperative influence tias to bo hoped tor
from that quarter. On Friday, however
which was settling day on the London Ex
changethere was an entire ausence of trouble
which rumors hail foreshadowed, and prices
showed a disposition to follow New York on a
range sufficiently above our quotations to pre
vent any unloading on this market.

EXTRA
AND
ine of such sizes
the
show.
in all
We honestly believe that the man of extra size, or odd
proportions, stands a better show of being fitted in a stock
like ours than in most custom tailoring establishments. And
for this reason: The merchant tailor, after he once cuts out
a garment for you, is bound in some way to make that par
ticular garment fit you. He partially makes the garment up
into what he calls a "try on," and on this foundation he goes
to work padding here and paring there to attempt a fit In
our case, in a difficult shape, we start, not with one founda
tion, buc a dozen. We try on coat after coat until we get
one that proves very near a fit, and in this we make the alter
ations necessary FREE OF CHARGE.
Don't be afraid because you're not symmetrically built that
we can't fit you. You select the suit our Artistic Tailor
does the rest.

ODD SIZES
Time was when ready-made
clothing was builtupon a single
scale of sizes, the only differ
ence in size being that, taken
as a whole, in every particular,
each garment was a size larger
or a size smaller than some
other one. But this is all
changed now, and in Men's
sizes alone, between 33 and 50
inchbreast measure, there are
fiftydistinct sizes and styles of
garment Clothing such as we
sell is gotten down to a fine
point as to fit, until we can
safely say we can fit anybody
not actually deformed. A lean
man with a fat pocketbook, or
a fat man with a lean pocket
book can each be fitted and
pleased from our stock. We
make a specialty of extra and
odd sizes, what are called in
the trade, "Longs and Extra
