WEBSTER CITY, a., Oct. 25.-Three
masked burglars robbed the State bank

dynamite, and the explosion shattered
the large plate glass window and badly
wrecked the bank building. They Sc.
cured $1,000 worth Of securities and q

When the first explosion occurred it
awoke half the town. James Connor's
yells frightened the burglars. and al
though they had prepared the dynamite
for the second explosion, they leaped
from the back window. In passing the
corner they saw Edward Gillicoy, who
was one of their pals, advancing to.
ward them. 1t was dark, and in the
excitement they mistook him for an
officer and shot him twice. One bullet
entered his chest and another his abdo.

Annual Report OF Chief Naval Constructor
NichbOrn.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-In his annual
report to the secretary Of the navy,
Philip Hichborn, chief constructor OF
the navy, says that the strength of the
navy on Oct. was III vessels all told,
Including the ships Of both old and new
navies. It is stated that during the last
few months of the last fiscal year con.
siderable amount of work upon vessels
that had been authorized by congress
had to be suspended owing to lack OF
funds. This caused a heavy drain upon
the new appropriations Mt the begin
ming Of the present fiscal year. and
makes the exhaustion of those appro-
priations before the 1st Of next July al.
most an assured fact.
Chief Hichborn says this is dis
couraging state of affairs, as the ex.
haustion means q wholesale reduction
of the maynard forces and the dis
charge Of competent and trained men.
He points to the advantage and econ
omy of having at least one vessel build
ing at each important navy yard.

five men from Dawson City, leaving
there Sept. 8, and three men from
Minook and other points on the Yukon.
They say no gold will come out this

river is already frozen hard and boats
are laid up for the winter.
OF the 5000 or 5000 people in Daw-

obliged to flee from impending starva-

party left Dawson, new arrivals mum.
bered from 5 to 20 people daily, and
there is no doubt that that ratio will be
continued all winter.

will be reduced to tho lowest point. His
idea is to establish national college OF
dentistry. with branches perhaps In scv-
eral other cities Hc would have diplomas
issued to graduates who had received a
thorough training and who had passed a
