An epidemic Of the grip is certain to be gen
eral throughout America In a very short time
Already many cases have been observed by
physicians in New York city, as well as in
other cities of the land. DR.. Cyrus Edison, OF
the New York Board Of Health, says that the
disease will manifest its presence generally IN
the very near future, and that 1t is already
mere more than is generally realized He said:

siege. While do not want to create scare

all the precautions possible. Experience has
SHOWN that care essness in habits and irregular
hours render the system too weak to stand so

OLD people and IN debtlitated persons"
There is but one thing for any man. woman
or child to do when the slightest symptom OF

Coffeyville, Kas, Dec. 24.-The south
bound passenger train, No. 10, on the Iron
Mountain division of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, which left this station at 6:S0
o'clock tonight, was held up and thor
oughly robbed by five masked men at
Seminole station, in the Indian Terri
tory, five miles south of Coffey-
Vile The switch lock was
broken and the train ran into the siding on
which box car was standing on which
was red lantern. The point of the rob
berry is small station on.the open prairie
The engineer, James Harris, was care
fully guarded by one of the men with
Winchester, while the rest pro
ceeded to rob the mail and express
cars and every passenger on the train
from the smoker to the sleeper. The
leader was q tall man who went through
the cars aud relieved the frightened pas
sengers of their money and valuables,
while the party kept up fusilade with
their Winchesters and revolvers. They
evidently secured large amount of booty.
PLEASURE PARTY AS SPECTATORS.
A party of young people from Coffey-
vile, who were driving, sat in their con-
veyance, close to the scene, aud witnessed
the AFFAIR. They were the first to bring
the news Of the robbery to town. Several
gentlemen Of this city, who do business in
the territory, were on the train and were
victims of the brigands. Fortunately, no
one was injured by the shooting, which
was all done by the robbers. One young
man, who was In the smoker, got
up as the robbers came in and
walked ahead of them through the
different cars in the hope of avoiding
them. When they got to the rear of the
last car they caught him, took his watch
and S17, and made him jump of. He
walked back to Coffeeville, but was too
badly ratified to describe the affair. They
held the train about an hour and half
and the rear lights on the car could be
seen from the Missouri Pacific yards
here while the train was being gone
through Conductor b, ownelle, the en-
gineer, fireman and porters were relieved
of everything they had, even to their
pocket knives. The train continued on
toward Fort Smith after being released,
and the desporadoes mounted their horses
and left in westerly direction. They
were dressed in cowboy outfit, and were
all young men. They are a remnant of
the Starr gang, and from the description
given by Conductor Brownelle, the leader
is Jim Wooten, the fellow who led the
raid on the Mound Valley bank.

Too Poor to Bury Their Babies.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Upon their own con-
tession two physicians of this city made
a practice of dissecting the bodies of dead
infants which fell into their hands on ac-
count of the poverty of their parents, and
then, when their professedly scientific
purposes are served, cremate the re-
mains.
The physicians are DIR. J. M. Lyons,
OF 40 Rush street, and DR.. j. w. Robert
son, of 33 Rush street. To-day DIR.
Robertson made clean breast of the
matter. Poor people in the vicinity, he
declared, who are unable to bear the ex-
pense of funerals are glad to be relieved
Of their dead infants.

Unable To Blow Open the Safe They
GO Through the Trainmen.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec, M.-About mid
night last night, the Los Angeles and
San Francisco express train, on the
Southern Pacific railroad, was stopped by
two masked men about twelve miles north
of Los Angeles, near Burbank, q small
station. After the train pulled out of
Burbank, the robbers climbed over
the tender to the engine, and with
leveled six-shooters, forced the engineer
to stop the train. They then uncoupled
the express car and pulled ahead 200
yards, where they stopped and called
on the express messenger to open the
door. He refused until they applied
dynamite and blew the car open. The
messenger then surrendered. One of the
men kept the conductor and a few ven
turesome passengers at a safe distance
while his confederates attempted to blow
open the treasure safe. This he failed to
do and the robbers, after relieving the
engineer, fireman and express messenger of
what money they had in their possession,
mounted horses which had been left near
the scene of the robbery, and made
their escape. Good descriptions of the men
were obtained, and officers from all
directions are in pursuit In addition to
the reward offered by Wells, Fargo Il Co.,
the Southern Pacific Company has offered
81 900 for their capture. Wells, Fargo &
Co. s agent here will not say how much
was in the express car, but admits that
an unusually large sum Of coin was being
shipped
