 OFFICER PATTON.
He Is Making an Enviable Record as One of the Finest-Two Good
 Arrests Made.

Officer Patton is daily proving himself one of the best members of the police de- partment. He has been making good arrests of late, but, being a very modest man, he dislikes newspaper prominence.
 Sunday night a railroad man was re- lieved of $355 of his hard earned money. Three men were with him in his boarding house at the time and he could not swear as to the identity of the thief He told his story to Officer Patton, who went to work on the case. In a short time he claims to be a painter from Cincinnati Lee admitted his guilt and yesterday morning was bound over to the grand jury.
 Yesterday morning two negro boys en- tered the store of a negro named Lee on Twenty-sixth street and Second avenue and stole $23. Officer Patton was soon at work on the case and, at o'clock in

After all it is Nature that makes the cures. Only now and then she gets into tight place and needs the helping hand of science.

FEVER SITUATION.

New Orleans. Oct. 28.-At l o'clock
the beard OF health announced % new
cases and five deaths from fever today.
The heavy increase, particularly in the
number OF deaths, is attributed to the
chilly nights and warm days now pre-.
vailing.
Yesterday the Southern Pacific COM
pany managed tt have the quarantine
on freight trains running through Cal.
cascu parish modified to the extern tina
trains loaded with freight from all places
except New Orleans can pass through
the parish without stopping. This is
locked upon as a great concession by the
railroad officials, as 1t will give them a
through route into Texas.
Camp Huller. the place established by
the Marine hospital authorities where
help for various plantations in the sugar
districts were detained, will be abolished
after November 1. This camp has been
instrumental in planters receiving sui
lcient hands to begin the work Of grind
ing. Nearly all o. the plantations are
working, and had it not been for this
detention camp, the skilled labor, which
all comes from New Orleans, would no

WILL NINE rHEIR OWN COAL.

ST. Louis. Oct. 2S.-A movement Is on
tcot among st. Louis manufacturers and
oller large consumers Of coal to oper>
ate mines and get the product at first
hand. AS a result OF the strike among
Illinois coal miners. the pits from which
the supply d coal for s.. Louis is dug
are closed, and there Is a great scarcity
Of the 'b!tuminous article here.
1t has been proposed by James A.
Reardon, a well known business man,
and one OF the largest consumers OF coal
in the city. that the manufacturers come
together and operate mines Cor them>
selves. BY that method they would not
only free themselves from the trust, bu,
would be able to pay the miners good
wages, and still obtain their coal supply
cheaper than 1t could be purchased in the
market. The idea is meeting with con.
siderable favor. and Mr.. Reardon con,
fldently predicts that a number OF the
big local coal consumers will soon be
taking out their own coal from their own

MAY BREAK UP THE BAND.

that as a result o. the change made in
the leadership OF The Marine band, tho
engagement OF that organization to fur
nish music for Inc Chicago horse show
may fail.
The contracts for this engagement, ii
is said. were made by Pro-. Fanciuill,
the retiring leader. He arranged the
prdgram in corporation with the off
Gals Of the Chicago show and this pro-
gram. which has already been published,
includes several numbers OF Prot. Fan
ciulli's own composition 1t is now said
to be doubtful whether the Chicago
people will be content with The change
in the personnel of the band which the
departments action has brCught about.
In order to escape further crilicism at
the hands Of the labor organizations the
navy department has laid down the rule
that hereafter The Marine band shall not
be allowed to play in any city where
they might be regarded as competing
with civilian bands. All OF the bands
men have been enlisted with an under,
Standing hat they might exc out theil

ing outside engagements. Most OF them
are men o. family, who could not sub

order is expected TO result in the re-
fusal OF @ OF the bandsmen to re-
enlist, and in the case Of the more noted
musicians, in their buying their dis
charges SO that the future OF the famous
old Marine band is in doubt.
