GEO. w. CURTIS decided early last
week to adopt homeopathic treatment.
and DIR. Reisig was called. From that
time Mr.. Curtis suffered little or
no pain, and during the last
few days he seemed very CONF
fo~rtabley. The swelling did not dimin-
ish, but his family had hope, being
much encouraged by the cessation Of
the pain. His condition was not thought
to be by any means critical. But three
days ago he began to sink rapidly. The
pain did not rccur, however, and until
the end he seemed able to recognize
those around him.
The funeral services will be held FRI
day at the Curtis residence, and they
will be private.
Mr.. Curtis was born in Providence, II.
l., %, years ago. After attending q
school in Jamaica Plain, Mass 10 re-
moved to New York with his father in
1889, and vas placed in n mercantile
establishment as a clerk. Being by
nature better fitted for almost any other
occupation, it is not strange that he
was unhappy in that position. In his
novel, "Trumps," he has given enter
tanning SkcucncS OF MS Ire as Il ScnOOA
boy, but in his most genial moments he
could not endure u joke on his mercan-
tile experience.
Mr.. Curtis was an earnest advocate
OF civil service reform. In 1871 nc wa
appointed by President Grant n of a
commission to draw up rules for the
regulation of the civil service. He vas
elected chairman of the commission
and Of the advisory board in which it
was subsequently merged, but resigned
later, owing to u difference of views
between himself and Presidents Grant
in regard to the enforcement of the
rules. He had served many years as
president of the National Civil Services
Reform society and at tho recent meet
ing ut baltimore was reelected pres

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY.
Mysterious Tagging OF n Missouri Pacific
Yraiu.

Mysterious Tagging of n Missouri Pacific
Train.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. "A bold
attempt was made last evening by train
robbers to hold up passenger train No.
4 of the Missouri Pacific railroad n short
distance west of Lees Summit, but,
owing to the passenger train being late
and freight train No. 100 running on
No. As time, the robbers stopped the
wrong train.
As the enginee- in charge of the n
CINE drawing the freight train was
rounding the curve just beyond Lees
Summit. ut a point known as Dead
Mans curve, he observed u man stand
ing near the track tagging the train
Suspecting that something was the
matter. as he was running on another
trains time, he reversed his lever and
brought his train to a s~tandstill. As
he did SO he saw the party who tagged
the train quite plainly, who Immediate
ly started on "a run for the woods. He
saw that the party had a revolver in
his hand and wore a mask made out Of
u piece Of dark cloth.
Just as the masked person got to the
edge of the woods, the engineer thought
that he heard others with him and
thinks that there were at least five men
in the party.
1t flashed through his mind in an in
slant that they were train robbers and
had mistaken his train for the Missouri
Pacific passenger train, which was due
at Dead Mans curve at this time, and
seeing their mistake had taken to the
woods. He had an idea hat the men
would not 90 far, but wonld make
another attempt to hold up the passen-
ger train when it came along.
The conductor of the passenger train
was notified to hold his train at the
Zig Blue until further orders were re-
ceivcd and the freight conductor re
turned to Independence where he made
up a special train and taking City Mar
shall Hulsc and a posse of men proceeded
to the place where the attempt at rob
berry had been made in the hope that
the robbers would again flag the trair
and give them a chance to capture them

INDEPENDENCE, H., Sept. Nancy
Hanks, the queen Of horsedom, added q
shining star to her crown yesterday,
when she trotted the world famous kite
track Mt this place in the unprecedented
time of 2:054, clipping two seconds of
her Chicago mark made two weeks ago.
She was brought out ut $3.50 o'clock,and
as soon rs she was recognized in tho
loop the cheering began. She looked
we'll and her superior condition was
easily disccrnible. She took her first
warming-up mile gently, being only
driven in q jog. About 4 o'clock she
was brought mi again and received
with the same cordial welcome us be-
fore on the part of the spectators.
When she passed the stand this time
even the band stopped playing and
joined with the Others in the applause.
A bow from Doble and they were away
to her quarters, followed 10y echoes of
the 5000 voices in the grounds.
At just 5:15 they appeared on tho
stretch again. This time the. applause
was deafeniug. Handkerchicfs and
~parasols were waved; voices expanded
To their utmost; young and old and
! everybody cheered. The old gray pater
forgot himself and let loose one of those
yelis that were the pride of his boy.
hood. Even The old ladies contributed
their quota to the general chorus
Nancy's first quarter was gone In 30
seconds; the second quarter was but .
second slower, and this was gone under
a constant effort of her driver to talk
her back; 1901 to the half was consids
cred a little too fast by Doble and he
coaxed her to q slower gait for
the next quarter. The breeze be-
gins to strike her; 1t Is a hard thing to
rate n fast mile by quarters, and the
third flag is reached a second or
two slower than was intended, but
here Nancy was given her head
and she finished strong and in the face
of a northwest wind in 31H seconds.
"Auothcr noticeable feature" says
Doblc, twas the condition of the mare
after her mile. Within fifteen minutes
after she reached her stall she was as
fresh and lively rs a young colt, and no
one would dream that she had made
the greatest trial of her life"
''Oh, yes. the kite tracks are faster
than the regulation shape. How many
seconds l would not say. But there is
not the shadow of doubt about it."
