'Eh? What? Who did you say the

Ned Anthony, the millionaire"
The 0uestiOner, thick set man, with
4 snub nose, rose hastily and opened the
window OF the hotel smoking room and
leaned far out, eager TO inspect the
broad shoulders and the brown SLOUGH
lat OF the money king. For blood or
beauty or breeding he would not have
turned upon his heel; but for gold, no
exertion could be troublesome,
When the brown hat and the broad
shoulders had been swallowed up In the
sea of other hats and shoulders, similar
in outward aspect II not In intrinsic
value, the Snub nOSed man returned 10
his chair and his pipe, bubbling over
with the inquiry and speculation which
the contemplation Of financial success Is

He addressed himself to no one in par
ticular. being, as he said, a stranger to
most OF them. but he had no fear OF the
result. Money is text on which the

the unlearned feel that they have a few

INITIATING THE DALTONS.
Express Train Robbed Near Where They
Were Shot to Death.

Were shot to Death.
CofFEYvILLE. KAN, Oct l3-Ihe night ex-
press on the Denver branch Of the Missouri
Pacific railway was held up and the express car
robbed between Caney and Tyro at
midnight last night by two masked men. When
the train stopped at Caney at II o'clock, one
Of the robbers secreted himself on the forward
platform of the combination express and bug
gage car. Shortly after leaving Caney the rob-
Der climbed over the tender and, with
heavy revolver, ordered the engineer
to stop the train. The engineer brought the
train to standstill and the robber Gu: the
combination car from the train and compelled
the engineer to draw the car to a deep cut
about half mile farther east.
Here the other robber made his appearance
and both began firing their revolvcrs. The ex-
press messenger was ordered to open the door
of the car and after several shots were fired
through the panels he complied. One Of the rob-
ers entered the car while the other remained
on guard outside. The messenger opened the
safe and the robber hastily grabbed the pack
ages and envelopes which it contained, placed
them in a small sack and jumped from the car.
They then ordered the engineer to back the
car to where the train was left standing, and
after firing few more shots as q warning dis
appeared In the darkness. Both robbers wore
heavy black masks and their clothing was spat-
tered with mud, indicating that they were
mounted and had ridden hard.
The express messenger claims he did not
know the value of the booty secured. The ex-
press officials and railway men at different
points along the line claim that the robbers
did not secure $500, if, indeed, they got
that amount. When the train reached
this city the Waterman was told Of the robbery
but no effort was made to get posse and
pursue the robbers. This morning the rail-
road people sent squad Of officers to Caney
and will begin an active search for the men.
Caney, Kan, is the next station to Coffey-
vile, where on October the bloody battle be-
tween the Dalton boys and citizens was fought,
and VIM. Dalton and many of his sympat hizers
have been lettering about Co1eyville for days.
Tuesday Emmett Dalton was removed to indie
pendence. Ben and William and their mother
accompanied him. Since then nothing has
been heard from them.

NO TYPHOID AT TAKOMA,
Suburban Citizens Indignantly Deny That
Fever Exists Among Them.

Suburban Citizens Indignantly Deny That
Fever Exists Among Them.
The citizens Of many of the suburban towns
around Washington deny the following state
ments made IN an interview published in n Sun
day paper with prominent DOCTOR" whose
name is not given:
There are more typhoid cases in the suburbs
than in the city proper. Takoma Park has had
a good many cases and two deaths recently. l
don't know just why it should be SO prevalent
there, but the people there, Of course, have
only surface drainage and about the springs
the ground is slightly marshy, and some sewage
may set into them. No analysis has been made
recently, however"
Naturally suburbanites resent such things,
and especially so the clement of truth
is lacking in the statement. Residents
of Takoma Park especially protes, at
the imputation that their pretty little village is
unhealthy. There is not a word Of truth in it,
said Mr.. b. F. Gilbert to STAR reporter out
looking for ty phoid fever germs. There has
not been a single death from typhoid fever in
Takoma Park and everybody there knows it.
Some days ago Mr.. Edwin Wright died
of typhoid, and the death notices in the
paper accredited him to Takoma, whereas he
lives way away from the park, to the south some
two miles. The only thing approaching fever at
1akoma Is sickness in n gentlernan's family,
which, instead of having been acquired In the
park. he has moved there, by his doctors ad-
vice. to eradicate. So far as the
drainage being defective and getting into
the spring, the assertion is the
purest of nonsense. The natural slopes give a
perfect drainage and this spring stands On a
hillside, nowhere near a house and where by
no possibility could it become contaminated
Another point is that the class of residents in
the park are of that character Of people who
keep their surroundings in n thorOuphly sa anita nv
condition. The whole meat of the matter can
be contained in the fact that neither is there
nor has there been any typhoid in Takoma
Park"
