It is hard to realize that within fourteen miles of populous Kan sas City twelve men could capture and rob an express train. Tl:e only resist ance that seems to have been offered was by the express messenger, who, single banded and alone, defied the brigands, and did not give up the keys of his safes until beaten to insensibility. As usual in such cases, tbe James boys are given credit for this daring outrage. —The blackened waste of the burn ed district of Eastern Michigan shows that the forest fires of that region have left unmistakable signs of death, ruin and desolation in their fiery progress. The earlier reports are found on a per sonal inspection of a portion of the locality, not to have been exaggerated. Scattered along the roads and in the burned woods were seen the charred remains of men, women and children. Entire communities are left houseless, naked, hungry and, in many instances, {tcorched, sick and wounded. Farmers who have been cultivating their farms, some twenty and some thirty years, and who by their industry have ac quired agricultural property of consid erable value, now see it swept from their sight and themselves compelled, in the decline of life, to start again from the point of the original settler. Many heads of families are left alone in the world, their wives and children have been burned to death, and all their material possessions except tbe land they owned have perished in tbe hurricane of flame. Tbe stories of re markable escapes are very thrilling, and show that the race between the flames and a terrible death was a very Close one. There is nothing left of many villiages but dust and ashes. It will be several days before the full ex tent of this unparalleled calamity will be fully known. Hintber Cii£»*n: P«., 1881.

The wagon, also passed over one of his ankles, cracking the ankle bone. He was carried, firet to the house of Mr. Hay, and then to his own, where he is lying in charge of the doctors. —The forest fires in Michigan sud denly assume a National importance. An appeal to the country for aid for the sufferers is issued by a committee in Detroit, of which Senator Conger is a member. The picture drawn in this document of the ravages of the fire is a terrible one. All previous reports of the loss of life have been far underesti mated instead of being exaggerated. The figures received are almost incred ible, The committee say they have reports of 200 deaths, and it is feared that the whole number will prove to be not less than 600. The destruction of homes, crop* and all tbe accumula tions of the labor of many thousands of people, is bardly less appalling. In twenty townships, it is said, there is hardly a bouse, barn or building of any kind left standing. A region having a population of 50,000 persons, mostly new settlers and all persons in moder ate circumstances, has been utterly des olated. Thousands of people are home less and in want, and need aid to carry them through the winter. Some esti mates place the number at 5,000. These are tbe grand totals of distress ; some of the details are bardly less pa thetic. The dispatches tell of one family of seven persons who lowered themselves into a well for shelter from the flames, and were there suffocated. The number of persons at first report ed to have lost their lives in the whole State was twenty; it is now found that just that number have been burn ed to death in a single township. These details established tbe fact of a great calamity, which the generous heart of tbe American people should meet at once. H. Ansbnlz A to.

The legoud, •'fl. Anshutz & C 0.," is familiar to every visitor to the great show from the initial year to the present time. Their stand on the first floor, north side, convenient to the main entrance, is an attractive spot—an oasis, as it were, where the weary may rest and gratify much of their curiosity at the same time. Such a display of stoves and ranges is rarely seen. Beautifully finished and superbly mounted, they are worth going a long distance to see. Among the specialties my be mention ed the celebrated Tremont Stove and Range, which, by common consent, is unsurpassed by anything of the kind in the market. It is effective, always in order, and always gives satisfaction. It is the joy of the housewife, the pride of the husband, and the comfort of the family. This firm handles a large variety of approved stoves, ranges, grate-fronts, Ac., and sells at very reasonable prices.

CROUSE, JR., FORMERLY OF THIS PLACE MEETS HIS DEATH AT AN OiL WELL IN MCKEAN COUNTY. Mr. Chas. Crouse, Sr., of this town received the sad intelligence last Wed nesday, that bis son Charles had been killed by tbe explosion of nitro-glvcer ine at an oil well in McKean county, at which he was working, that morn ing Tbe body was placed in a coffin and shipped "here, arriving Thursday evening:, when it was found necessary to inter it immediately, whicb was done in the Catholic Cemetery in this place. The following particulars of the ex plosion, we take from the Bradford, Pa. Evening Star of last Wednesday evening. One of the mod distressing and disastrous accidents recorded inoil region annals occurred this morning between eight and nine o'clock, at a well by the roadside immediately west of Sawyer City, caused by an explosion of glyce rine. Four men were iustantly hurled into eternity and a fifth is perhaps gone ere this to gether with a couple of small boys. The killed are William Bunton, of Bradford, James Thrashier, of Sawyer City, Charley Crouse, formerly of Butler, Pennsylvania, and Charley Rust, agent of the Robert's torpedo Company of Bradford. The injured were Ed. Wilson, united gauger, and Geo. Sloan and a boy of Slattery's. It appears the latter was invited to treat the well named, which is owned by Mrs. Jane Schoouover, on her place, to eighteen quarts of glycerine. As the well was near the village and close to the roadside, a large num ber of people were naturallr attracted to the scene, The shell had been Jhuug in the casing and two quarts of the explosive poured in, the remainder being in the caus on the derrick floor. After pouring in the two quarts. Rust net the CBII down and undertook to fit the cap to the shell. It worked a little tight and he gave it a couple of blows with his hand in order to force if to position. The second blow caused the explosion with the sad results named, Rust's bodv was blown fully 100 feet from the scene and his skull was so completely shatter ed that the brains lay outside in small bunch es. His body was otherwise badly mangled yet not so seriously as to prevent recognition. Chas. Thrashier was an employe of the estate and lived with a family of four —wife and three children-on the west side of the road in a email house seen just before entering Sawver as you go from Tarport. He was also terribly mangled about the head and chest. Mr. William Bunton, who was simply a spec tator, having been on his way to his wells above Sawyer and halted to witness the shoot ing, was badly cut about the head and must have been sufficiently close to have been killed instantaneously. His body otherwise than the cut? in the hcald was not injured. Crouse was terribly lacerated about tne head, chest and arms. He was engaged it is said on the well aa one of the hands. The derrick was litterally shattered to pieces and the floor and heavy sills were torn from their resting place and piled in heaps around. The high-way was nearly blocked with the fragments, ana the whole gave evidence of the terrible power of nitro (jlyctrine when set in motion. It was indeed fortunate that the quan tity used was not the usual size for this section —sixty quarts. Had this been so many more deaths would probaly have been recorded. As it is the matter is very serious ond suggests the foolishness of disinterested or even interested parties gathering near while the detestable stuff is being handled. Dr. Dorn of this city passed the well a few rods when the explosion oceur ed, and of course was the first physician on tbe ground. It was with great difficulty he could persuade his team to stand still, it was so thor oughly frightened, bnt he succeeded and re turned to aid in removing the bodies from the wreck. He describes the scene as sickening in the extreme. The dead bodies of four men who a few moments previous were now lying nearly covered with pieces of timber, shattered lumber, and earth mixed with oil. The three were removed to a vacant house in the village and that of Thrashier to the home of his family, where they were projierly covered to await the. action of the Coroner's jury. Drs. Benningbof and Wallace, of Tarport, and Mattison and Wallace, of Bradford, were at the scene in half au hour afterwards and attended to the sufferings of those who had been injured but were still living. Mr. Ed. Wilson was seriously cut iu the thighs and was also badly injured else where. He was also a spectator. His wounds were dressed and some hopes are entertaided of his recovery. The boy N'ive Hastings, it is said, cat! hardly live. Aside from other effects of the shock he had an arm and leg broken, and is at his home in Sawyer. A little boy of Mr. Slatterys had his stomach torn open and received other severe injuries and will probably die. George-Sloan was hit on the head with a plank and though seriously hurt, his injuries will hardly prove fatal. A number of othe mi nor effects are reported, but none of a danger ous stripe. Charles Raney had the seat of his pants removed while making tracks for life and liberty. The whole town felt the effects of the shock. Some windows were broken and the people were generally thoroughly frrghten cd. It is remarkable circumstance that so few were injured. One aged gentleman who was passing <vith a team halted to witness the pro cess of filling the shell. Discovering the man Rust tampering with the shell he put the whip to his animals and got just far enough away to escape injury further than the general fright and an upset on the end board of his wagon. THE RCINB. A string of tools which hung iu the derrick were wraped and twisted in a terirble manner, but the cable was preserved almost intact on the shaft of the bull wheel. The wheel itself was badly demoralized, especially one end of it. A 250 barrel tank stood thirty feet from the derick and was about as near whole after the explosion as before it. It is said a chap occupied the bull wheel shaft as a resting place when the explosion occurred, and suffered no further injury than a thorough shaking up, after which he arose and took to his heels and was not afterwards seen about the premises. Mrs. Jane Schoonover the owner of the well, is a woman of fifty years and a widow. She mourns with the afflicted and appears to care nothing for the loss of property. Hundreds of sight-seers have been arriving at the scene all day. They come from every town of the Northern field and Bradford turn ed out its usual quota. LATER NOTES. Fred Slattery, who had his bowels torn open in such a manner that it is impossible for him to last many hours, wai a lad about eleven years of age and a general favorite in the vil lage. Ed. H. Wilson is a son of Major Wilson, of Petrolia, occupied as a guager on the Unitea Pipe Line. He was standing with his hand on Chas. Crouse's shoulder at tne time of the ac cident. His injuries are not necessarily fatal, although he is considerably lacerated by flying missiles. Geo. Sloan has a bad scalp wound on the back of his head, but it will hardly prove fatal. Nute Hastings is badly hurt, aud his recovery is quite doubtful. It is a sad day in the village from the fact that the citizens realize what an awful and fearful end those near and dear to them might have come to just at their own door. Its effects will never be forgotten iu Sawyer. The windows iu the house of Chas. Ralph, contractor of the well, were all smashed by the concussion as well as another house in the im mediate vicinity. The deceased Mr. Bunton, had left this city on the seven o'clock train tor Sawyer for the pupose of seeing the contractor of this fatal well, and this accounts for his presence at that time. Later intelligence states that Mr. Bunton and Trashier both lived about half an hour af ter the accident. The verdict has been rendered according to the facts above. THE EFFECTS. This sad occurrunce has stirred the heart of this community as it has not previously been stirred. These awful calamities are of such frequent occurrence that they are positively distressing. Is it possible to prevent them ? Here we have strong men, men who have fami lies dependeug upon them hurled out of exist ence through some cause which strikes us as demanding careful investigation. Somebody is at fault. Glycerine can be used in careful and experienced hands without endangering the lives of our citizens. As evidence of this note the quantities used daily without such results. Then are there inexperienced men or men of intemperate habits engaged by the torpedo com pany, thereby becoming indirectly responsible for these calamities ? These are questions for the immediate future to decide. A Snow Storm In (lie Black Hills. DEADWOOD, I). T., September 7. There was a heavy snow storm in the Black llills on Monday night and Tuesday morning, Sept. sth anil 6th. [The above were amonp; the very warmest days we had here. But this is a large country, with room for snow at one end and heat at the other.— ED.J Letter from Illinois MANTENO, KANKAKEE Co., III.,") September sth, 1881. > Mr. Ntylet/, Butler, l'a.: I notice an item in your paper of last week which I wish to correct. It is a dispatch to tbe Phila. Times, say ing that the wheat crop here was the |>oorest both in quality and quantity that has been raised in this State for twenty years. I claim our whtat is the best in quality this year, and yields the best to the amount of straw, that has been for the last six years. That is the time I have lived in the State. We had very dry weather in the month ot May when the wheat needed rain to make it stool out, and the con sequence was that there was not a heavy crop of straw on the ground; but tbe yield is unsually good and is of tbe best quality. The oats is not a large crop, but is of a very good quali ty, tbe average yield is from 30 to 45 bushels per acre and will weigh out twenty per cent, on measurement. The corn crop will not be a full oue this year, owing to tbe long drouth in the time of earing, but will be a very eood quality. The hay crop has been a very fine one in this country and throughout a large part of the State, The potato crop will be very poor in this locality this season. I send you a sample of my own raising of wheat so you can judge tbe quality of it your st If. I did not sow but a small piece, so I could not get a large crop. My neighbor, Mr. Benjamin Goodwin, of the town of Rockville, sowed a small piece of wheat last fall and threshed one thousand and forty six bushels of such wheat as tbe sample I send you. We Illinoians do not care what other folks say of our State, but we would like they would tell the truth at least. If there is any of this worth pub lishing you will" oblige by so doing. Yours truly, ROBERT KINKAID. Tbe specimen of wheat above refer red to, a small sack, has been received at this office and can be seen by any of our farmers or others desiring to do so. — KDS. Seventy Oil Welln Burned. BRADFORD, September 7. —About noon to-day a fire broke out on A. J. Thompson's property, south of Bordell. The flames spread with irresistible force, burning over nearly two hundred acres of valuable oil property. At eight o'clock to-night the fire was re ported under control.

The Largest, The Cheapest, The Most Satisfactory Place of its Kind IN THE ENTIRE bTATE ! PEERLESS, UNAPPROACHABLE AND ALONE After the two months of steady preparation, during which time we have made extensive im provement, we formally announce our OPEMIN(T FOR THE FALL AND WINTER OF 1881- 82. For variety of textures, for immensity of stock, for novelty in styles, for thoroughness of manufacture and exquisiteness of finish, we challenge the entire trade to produce the equal. Nev er before has our stock been so grand, so complete, so incomparable as now, for we were determined nothing should be left undone to utterly surpass anything before attempted. For the benefit of after dark purchasers we have placed nine electric burners (equal to 18,000 candle lights) making the interior of our stores light as day.
