l.. Rosson, who moved here from Phoenix, Ariz, early in February. and located at No. SIP South Flower street where he died Wednesday night when thought to be improving from the ef- fleets of a slight illness. He was a fine appearing man physically, and had no difficulty in obtaining the limit of insurance in numerous fra ternal and assessment companies. un- til in the aggregate the amount ac- quired in a short time amounted to $39, ,000 Before coming here 1t is un- derstood that he held protection in the endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias for $3,000 and the A.

JOHN KLOHR, DEAD SHOT.
Star Member of the Kansas Troops is
 the Dalton Gang Slayer.

Topeka, Kan, May 14.-The com pany of volunteers from Montgomery county, Kan, which arrived here and went into camp with the state troops has celebrity in it He is John Klohr of Coffeyville, who shot and killed Bob Dalton and several other members of the notorious Dalton gang a few years ago in the act of making a raid on the bank of Coffeyvilie. The fight in the streets between the ban. dits and the citizens was one of the most exciting incidents that has oc- cured in Kansas for many years.
 When the alarm was given Kloh1 was sitting in his livery stable about block away. Hastily securing his rife he went up the street and took 6 position opposite the bank One by one the bandits were shot dead as they exposed themselves to his uneTrins aim. All were shot through the heart He killed all the members of the gans with the exception of Emmett Dal- ton, who was captured, and is now 1T Kansas penitentiary serving a life sentence. -
 Dalton has applied to Gov. Leedy for pardon so as to join the company of volunteers lead by the slayer ol his brothers Not only is Klohr z dead shot with rifle, but all the othen members of his company are noted fol their skill in the use of firearm, many of them having participated in some desperate fighting during the periot when desperado raids along the south. ern border of Kansas were common occurrences.

 the Case of Dr. Rosson.

The circumstances of the death of Dr. Rosson of Los Angeles last Thurs day are to be investigated upon the motion of an insurance company. The only suspicion inspiring the investi- gation is that his Tiff ewas heavily in sured. His friends in Phoenix, how ever, have no doubt that death was natural, since they had been aware of his illness three weeks before he did. The Los Angeles Times says regard ing it:

Army Regulations and Discipline
 Taken to Kindly.

Riverside Park, San Antonio, May I1.-(Special correspondence of The Republican. )-"Teddy's Terrors'' are certainly keeping things humming- No body of troops that Was ever gath cred together in one camp has excited more interest throughout any part Of the United States than the cowboy regiment has in Texas. The reckless Tejana looks on as the graceful riders from the territories are seen about the streets, wishing he could add his own signature to the roll of the regiment. At all hours of the day squads are per- sistently drilling, that the troops may be placed in marching condition as early as possible. The boys take to their new life with becoming grace and good nature At 5:30 they are slumbers by the ever-famous reville. In fifteen minutes they are assembled for roll call, and in thirty minutes they are washed and lined up with tin plate and cup, awaiting an appetizing breakfast The stable call and water call get the stable guard to work feedr ing and watering the horses.
 Each company breakfasts by itself; one of the number is cook and each private must take his turn as helper, frying bacon boiling potatoes or mak- ing coffee.
 Most Arizonians remember the time when they boiled grease and lye over a fire in the back yard in an immense iron kettle to make soft soap. With that picture before you perhaps it is not difficult to imagine the hobby Ari- zona boys stirring coffee in the self same way with a crooked stick that has been subjected to questionable surroundings since it left it's mother root; or frying bacon on the hot lid of Dutch oven; or stirring dough with the intention of making bread or biscuits. But to serve in these different capacities is no laughing matter, much more is it no laughing matter to eat the decoction thus made. At a. m. the guard mount takes place and immediately following ensues two hours of drill. An hour of rest is then given during which time sixty out of sixty-fve of each company apply for passes which will enable them to go to San Antonio for from three to ten hours. Of the number applying per haps twenty succeed in obtaining the coveted script. This does not signify that from each company only twenty goes, for fully another twenty go on their own responsibility. From 10 o'clock on comes the fun, for then the persons out without passes may be seen climbing over, digging under, or crawling through the fences, anyway in fact, to escape the notice of the guards, who are posted at every en- trance Those who are caught with out passes are hurried to the guard house, there to remain for several hours, or perhaps all night The af- ternoon is devoted to drill and rest.

MEDITERRANEAN RENTS.
Eisheet at Gibraltar and Lowest on eha
 Island of Malta.


 In DO place on the surface of the globe Ls rent so high as at Gibraltar, the req son being that the geographical posi- tion of tho town precludes the possibil- ity of it's being extended in any direo. tion. A long, narrow strip of what was once seabeach is alone available for building purposes. All the rest is pre- cipitous rock.
 Upon this narrow parapet, in some cases less than 100 yards in width, arc crowded the homes of 25, 900 people. As much as S10 a week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room, and this, too, i'll place where the nor mai rate of wages is quite 10 per cent less than ill America. Naturally the oyercrowding is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and intermittent, cleanliness of living as we understand 1t is almost impossible.
 No wonder that ill tho old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the "rock" with a virulence unknown i0 the filthy and presidential cities of the far east
 In Malta, on the other hand, house rent is ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside of Valetta all excellent seven room house can be had for $15 a year. while rates and taxes are unknown. The houses are built entirely of the cream oolofed stone of which the island Is composed, and which is so soft that It can be cut with saw into blocks or slabs of any desired size or shape. Sc while tho Maltese builder is digging up his foundation ho is at the same time getting out tho material for his walls, his flooring and his roof. Philadelphia Ynuuirer.

Hunting For Ancestors.

It is not q good sign, this securing the earth by Americans to see if they are not descended from somebody who was somebody hundred CT thousand years ago. There is the attempted or ganization of the so called order of Runnymede, composed of the descend ants of the Magma Charta barons. There are this, that and the other or ganization whose members set much store by themselves because they had an- oestors historic for noble and useful qualities. The exploitation of our fore- fathers is tacit confession that we arc nothing in and of ourselves, therefore we fall back on our ancestors.
 The number of such societies indi- cates that there is not now blue blood enough in Americans to make them try to be noble on their own account. The ancestors from whom they are SC proud to be descended were powerful people, with tremendous convictions of right and wrong. They acted out these con victions, struck with mailed hand at opposing obstacles and conquered. They were every one the heretics, the rebels, the radicals and come cutters of their gen eration. If they wore alive today, nine out of every ten of them would be os- tracized and sneered at by the very peo- pie who now fall down and worship their dust
 Let present day Americans stand upon their own feet. There are in all of them latent those seeds of strength and brave character that made their ancestors what they were. Let the descendants try to evolve something out of them selves, genius or goodness or moral and intellectual force. Let them do and be something of themselves and leave their various ancestors to the rest so well earned. Not to our ancestors, but tc ourselves let us turn for distinction.

MAPLE SUGAR.
Widespread Ignorance on the suy. <
 Consumers.

COnsumers.
 Speaking of maple sugar brinos ho mind the fact that there is no proanos or the farm concerning which there ia greater ignorance on the part of con samers than maple sugar and sirup. It seems to be almost the universal opinion mat maple sirup to be genuine must be dark n color and of a thick heavy body. have carefully studied this mat. ter and am convinced that dealers in large towns and cities are largely re- aponsible for this. Maple sirup is one of the easiest things to "doctor. " For In. stance. gallon of strictly pure, light colored maple sirup is received, and for. eign substances, as cane sugar or clU. eose, are added and three gallons mado and all are branded "pure maple sirup ,i
 Some years ago stepped into a ela oery store in the city of Denver and in- quired if they had any genuine msple sirup "Oh, yes''-and was shown cans branded ''pure Vermont maple sirup." asked the grocer if he would kindly let me taste sample. He did go, and as l looked up I suspect he be- gan to 'smell mice" and asked if I was manufacturer of the article. said. "Yes, and I ship it every spring to your city" Seeing he was fairly caught, he said: "The fact Is I cannot fool you, l sec This sirup of ours was probably made in Chicago. "
 Last spring I sent gallon by re. quest to a pastor of a church in Brook. lyn who in his boyhood days used to live on a farm in Chenango county and knew what real maple sirup was. We sent him gallon of early make, of light amber shade, and at once received word that the sirup was entirely ahead of any he had over seen, and that it was an utter iTnpossibility to procure such in the city.
 Why is it impossible? I know line sirup is made and shipped The fact is, as I said before, the consumer is nos allowed to taste that fine, light colored, genuinely pure article, for once he geta taste of it the trade for the bogus ar- siele is gone. 4 few days ago friend told me he sent pound of fine sugar, made by one of cur farmers, to his mother in Baltimore. The cake weighed IS ounces, and as 1t went by mail it cost him IS cents postage. The letter carrier who delivered it said it must be something valuable to pay so much postage. The lady sai1 sin co. | aarq7 what it was. 1t E,ts caAo cl m4pis sugar her boy had sent her from New Ysf1.
 As the carrier lived close by the lady Told him to como in during the evening and she would show him something good He did so, but the moment he saw it he said: You can't fool me. That isn t maple sugar. Maple sugar is always black She chopped of a cor ner and told him to sample it. He de- olared he had never seen maple sugar bef0re and wanted the lady to write and order him 100 pounds The sugar was shipped. cash received, and one man learned that maple sugar, in order to be genuine, need not be bIdch' i3s 3 atovepipe.

Canadian Loyalty.

Canada is queer lot. She professes the most burning loyalty to the British empire. Many of her newspapers rage when any reasonable, base person sug- gests the possibility of an independent Canadian nation or of tho annexation of the Dominion to the United States. All the same, however, Canada lets up on her loyalty when her little pocket IS touched. She puts up the bars of stiff tariff law against her own mother, charging on goods imported from Eng land in some cases higher duty than even on American goods. This is one instance of how she loves her mother. Again, English money helped build the Canadian Pacific railway, largely as a military enterprise. English money sub sidizes the merchant ships that ply be- tween Victoria and Asiatio ports. This, too, Is the result of military policy. What Canada does in return for this protection is shown in a sentence from the speech at Bristol of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the British ovoboo, Ter He said, "It is not credita blo to Canada or fair tds ERgliSh tsi ttsaiSpaEl \ CTS that such colony should contribute practically nothing to tho naval de- lenses of the empire. J Thus it appears that Canada gets the benefit of all Eng land s naval prestige, and 1t does not cost her a cent. Canny Canadal
 Canada is chronic kicker on the matter of seals in Boring sea. She keeps England in hot water over this question. She is loyal to Great Britain for what she can get out of her.
