At the election on Tuesday, Foster was elected Governor br a majority of 25,000. The Republicans made large gains in every district. The Legislature is lira carried by the Republican. A larje rote was polled. The Train Bobbery. One of the most daring and successful robberies ever perpetrated anywhere in Mis souri was that which waa Thursday night, O.t 9, committed upon the Chicago A Alton east-bound passenger train, which left Kati sas City at 6 o'clock, for Chicago and St. Louis. The scene of tbe train robbery was the little railroad station known on the lime card as Qlendale. The total population of the hamlet cannot exceed a dozen guI, and its name is the largest part of its population. Several tbouund dollars in money was tak en. A car load of bullion had been shipped orrr soother road east, the robbers having made a mistake in the route; hence thtir haul was a small one. The Kansas City Times sayR The dtscriptions given of lb man who acted as the leader of the gang are Ttry ac curate copies of tbe portrait of the notorious outlaw and desperado who baa made himstll so famous on Missouri soil Jesse James. He and one other man were unmasked, Tbe net of the parly, eighteen in number, were masked. It is believed by tbe tracers ol the company that the work was performed under THE UADUUHir Or JAMB. Its boldne-s, the care and loresTgbt dis played in the arrangement of the details, and tbe whole conduct of the successful on dertaking, all point to him aa the nan most likely to be the originator and principal ex ecutor of the plan. It was known that Jeme James was in this city during one day ol the fair, and it seems not at all improbable that he has resumed his old profession in the Tianity of his old stamping ground. At midnight a special train bearing Mar shal Litxet and a posse of deputies left for Glendale, and aa vigorous pursuit ss can be stimulated by the natural desire to catch the desperadoes, and tbe large rewards ouercd by tbe company, will be at once begun. Timber Culture Act. The Beloit Courier says that tbe Secreta ry of the general land office at Washington that in the timber culture act, "timber means such trees aa pine, oak, ash, maple. elm, walnut, hickory and other timber trees that can be tawed up into lumber or used for constructing wagons, carriages, etc; that cottoawood, willow and such other wood varieties cannot be considered as tim ber, for, while tbe necessities of the'ectller may compel him to use such varieties for building and constructing, yet they ar not properly 'timber trees.' The distinction is here made between aa ornamental and tim ber tree." The Courier ears that maar nersnna ban. supposing they were within the law. grown Cottonwood and other soft wood varieties, and ask if they will get a deed uader this construction. Gored to Death, Geo. H. a Bull, the founder of Bull Citr, Osborne county, and Beprewotalive in the last Legislature from that county, waa gored to death by a pet elk, Oct 1 J, which be waa attempting to subdue. Two other a, Nicholas and Brinkwell, were tattally Injured by being gored by Ike infuriated an imal. General Boll was pierced through the heart and lungs by tat elk's antlers, and died instantly. He was at one time a member of tat Wisnwln Leeislatnre. sad served honorably through the late war. "Not Such a Bad Place." The following is an extract from the Leavenworth lime. correspondence from Dodge City: After all. Dodie City is not sacb a bad place a many Would make believe I In deed, it is very rapidly changing, and as suming mote tbe appearance ol prosper ous town than at any time in it's hLnory. No longer dependent npon the trade which it enjoyed by virtue of the cattle drive, it hai a good and constantly increasing basi nets from which the deduction is warranted that in a bunness point of view her pros perity is aasured. In another respect Dodge City has also chaoKid very much. I refer to the charac ter of the population. It has been less than a year since I visited the placet and candor compels me lo say that I notice a great change in thit all important factor in a community. In place of the class referred to, an element much more desirable, and certainly one which conduce more to the general prosperity of tbe town, i moving in, and exercising my prophetic vision, 1 consider that I do not strain it at all when I say that I do now see in the near future a city with a population of 3,000; a city in which churches and schools shall ixert their influences for good. The Indian War. WiSHMQTOK, D. C, Oct. 13. -Secretary Scburt, immediately upon receiviog the dis spatch stating that the hostile tribes hid retired through tbe influence of Ouray, call ed at the war department and consulted with Geo. Sherman on the eut ject The latter at nnce sent the following telegram to Gen. Sheridan: WaanntOTox, Oct. 13. To P. H- Sheridan, Commanding Division, esc, Chicago: Tbe honorable Secretary of tbe Interior has tale morning called, with a telegram conveying propositions for pesc, which is comsaoaieated for your information, and which should go for what it is worth to Generals Crook and Meriitt. The latter is on the spot, and can tell if the hostile have ceased fighting. If so. Gen. Kerritt should go in every event to the Agency, to ascertain the aesal condition of facts. All Indian who oppose must be cleared out of tbe war. if they resist. If they surrender their arms and ponies, they shall be held as prisoners, to be disposed of by tbe Superior Court. The Secretary of the Interior will send a special agent at once to Ojray, who ia be lieved to be honest and our friend. He any prevent the Southern TJtea fiom being in volved, and tbe interior Department can befriend him afterwards by showing favors to some of his special friends: but the mur derers oi tne agents and employes must be punished, as also three who fought and Killed major anornDurgn and men. incase acknowledge receipt. 8ignedl W.T.

The murder of Indian Aexnt Meeker and his family was, probably, attended with all the moiling cruelties which mark the war. fare of our noble red brother, but, according io ue nusaaniurian view oi Indian poller, his fa'e was not undeserved.
