October i was Chicago Day at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition in Omaha, and all of the railroads ran special trains, carrying dele gates of the different Chicago or ganizations attending. Among those was a special which left over the Burlington Route, with the Cook County Dem ocracy, and it was the longest train of Pullman cars that ever left Chicago on a regular run. It con sisted of seventeen Pullman cars, one special private car, one baggage car and two engines. The train shed at the Union Pas senger Station, which is the long est one in Chicago, measures 1,100 feet, but the train measured exact ly 1.377 feet, or more than a quar ter of a mile long, and it started off tor Omaha at 2:30 p. m., scheduled to run at forty miles an hour. The weight of this caravan on wheels was estimated to be 2,290,000 lbs., or about 1,145 tons, and the two engines to pull the train over the 500 miles to Omaha burned 45 tons of coal and transformed into steam 53,000 gallons of water. Mayor Harrison and his official stiff oc cupied the private car. Serious Cass of Itching and Bleeding: Piles Cured. For nearly a year I was afflicted with itching and bleeding piles, and was so bad that I could not sit down without a great deal of pain. I doctored and used all the different kinds of pile medicine I could hear ! of, without any benefit. Six months ago I tried San-Cura Ointment; the l second application gave me great relief, and half a bottle cured me completely. I have had no trouble since. M. W. Buchanan, Titusville, Pa. Sold by C.

MANY UP THE RIVER People are Connected With the Job in a Number of Ways. Erom Friday's Daily Captain James Meighen, detect ive for the Ohio River Railroad company, was in the city today and in speaking to a Review represen tative stated that he had about rounded up the organized band of thieves which has been pillaging the freight depots and the cars of the company during the past three months, and which have been rob bing in all the towns along the river they have passed. , Capt Meighen has been working on the case for the railroad compa ny and in his work has discovered where quite a lot of stolen goods taken from the houses of people a number of times, have gone. It seems that auite a number of peo ple in up-the-river towns are con nected with the organized gang of robbers. Yesterday the marshal of St. Mary's, and Detective' "Jim" Meiafaen were in Bellaire and Ben wood looking up certain members of the gang that has recently been engaged in thievery on an exten sive scale in and near the town of St. Mary's. Charles Loring, a 15 year-old boy, of Benwood, was ar rested by Meighen and taken to Sf. Mary's yesterday afternoon. Young Loring is said to have confessed to being implicated in the recent robbery of Wilkinson's shoe store in Bellaire, as well as in the theft of goods from the freight car on the Ohio River railroad near St. Marys. It is for the latter crime, of course, that he has been taken to St. Marys. They are residents of Benwood. It is said young Loring confessed regarding his complicity in the Bellaire job, and implicated certain young men of Bellaire and Ben wood. Charles Cook and another man who were employed in the robbery at St. Marys with Loring, have been arrested and will be taken to St. Marys this evening. Capt. Mehen went up on the noon train today to take them down. In addition to the three men who have been arrested at Benwood, there are three in Mouudsville wbo have been.implicated in the robber ies by the companions of the men already under arrest, and they will be arrested as soon as Capt. Meighen can get to Moundsville to do it. The railroad company is deter mined that the gang which has been committing these depreda tions shall be brought to account for it, and Capt. Meighen has received instructions to run them down at no matter what cost, and he will do it. In speaking of the matter today Capt* Meighen stated that he had located the flour stolen from Roome's mills in this city and that he believed he had located quite a lot of other stuff which had been stolen from different places in this city.

WILD WESTERN" STYLE Hold Up by a Dangerous Set of Burglars. That there is a dangerous set of burglars and thieves about town | there is no lurther doubt. One of the boldest attempts at robbery eeve known here occurred about 7:30 o'clock on Wednesday evening at the small jewelry store on the corner of Sixth street and Phillips court alley belonging to Bunnell & Co. Mr. Bunnell, the proprietor, was sitting in the rear of his shop en gaged in reading a newspaper, when he heard a stealthy step in the front room. He got up and went out and discovered a man behind the counter taking a tray of rings from the show case. When he saw he was discovered, the thief darted around from be hind the show case. Bunnell made a dash for him, but he was prepared for such an emergency and whipped out two revolvers and pointed them at the proprietor of the store. Bunnell had his nerve with him and jumped forward ta grapple wiih the thief, but the lat ter turned and ran out the door, shooting in the air just as he got out on the sidewalk. He then dodged around the corner and dis appeared up the blind alley, fol lowed by Bunnell for a short dis tance. The shot attracted the attention of Dr. Burwell, who was in his office over Bunnell's store. He looked out of the window and saw the fellow disappear up the alley. Several others also saw the thief going up the alley. A crowd soon collected around the place and there was considerable excitement. Bunnell made an inventory of the stock and found that a watch and several rings were missing. The officers were notified and they were on the scene a few min- A utes after it occurred. There is no m outlet to the blind alley, which ex- p tends into a very dark space in the rear of the buildings on that square. The officers made a diligent search but were unable to find the thief, and the supposition is that he made his escape through one of the yards in that neighborhood. Bunnel was uuable to give a very good description of the fellow as the entire occurrence was of brief duration. He says that the robber was tall and slender and wore a black coat. The officers kept a lookout for suspicious characters all during the night but. no arrests were made. ? Parkersburg Sentinel. Mr. Bunnel formerly kept a jew elry store in our city and is well known here. Bring your job work to the Re view office if you want your work done quickly, neatly and cheap.
