DRUGGED AND ROBBED.
Old Man Is Relieved Of Over
$3.50.

J. A. MeKeon. a man about so years
of age, was robbed Tuesday night OF
money and papers valued at S75S.
Mr.. McKeon can give no clue as to
the robbers. On Tuesday afternoon he
received the amount of the loans OF
two mortgages. One was for $500 and
the other for S15S Besides the money
he carried in his pocket four prOmissOry
notes for SIS each, making a total in
money and notes of S75S
Soon after receiving the money on the
last mortgage, he says, he stopped in
a drug store on Kansas avenue and
drank a half a glass Of whisky. He
went from that drug store to another
and says he thinks he drank a glass OF
whisky there with a friend. That is
the last he remembers
Wednesday morning he awolSe from
a stupOr. He was lying on the bank
of Deer creek east of town near the
Tenth avenue road. He was dazed and
could remember nothing since he drank
in the drug store. His money and notes
were gone, but his watch had not been
taken He can give no clue what ever
as to who the robbers might have been
McKeon is stopping with his son at
80 Monroe street He formerly lived
in Topeka, but now lives in Kansas
City. He came here to transact some
business. He is not known as hard
drinker and he believes he was drugged
as he did not drink more than three
glasses of liduOr.

DEWEY,S WELCOME.
Admiral Will Come Into Port Unat-
tended, Then Sampson VIII
Greet Him.

New York, Aug. 24.-Rear Admiral
Sampson's fleet will not meet Admiral
Dewey when the hero of Manila Bay
comes with the Olympia TO be the
guest of New York and the ration. In
stead. the admiral will come into port
unattended, and then the rear admiral,
going from his anchored flagship to the
Olympia, will extend to Admiral Dewey
a welcome on behalf of the navy de-
partment and pay his own respects.
These facts were made very plain to
the Dewey reception committees plan
and scope committee by Rear Admiral
John W. Philip and Captain RobIey D.
Evans. and it also was plainly stated
that Rear Admiral Sampson did not
approve of the committees plan which
provided that warshiDs should go to
sea and escort the Olympia in.
SIMPSONS fleet will assemble. ac-
cording to the new program at Tomp-
kinsville, "in ample time to welcome
Admiral Dewey the fleet in column,
with berth at the head for the Olym-
pia to occupy. When the Olympia has
taken her position, Sampson will carry
out his instructions in the way of well
come in behalf of the national govern
ment.

WAR is COSTLY.
More Than $31, 100000 Ex-
pended In Less Than
Two Months

New York, Aug. PA special to the
Times from Washington, says:
The fifty-fifth congress appropriated
for the maintenance of the army, in
Guiding all expenses, except those for
the construction of Notifications, about
$50 OOO. 600.
1t had authorized the president to
raise an army of 100, 900 men and it was
supposed to be allowing the use of
money enough to keep those men in
the field, as it could not be assumed
that the force asked for would be un-
necessary
If the war department were to regu-
late it's expenditures according to the
sum appropriated by congress, it would
spend for the army about $6,5OO,0OO a
month. Two months of the fiscal year
have almost passed. and in those two
months the army has cost more than
$31 900, 900. At that rate the apprOpria-
tions for the army will not last until
December Some of the money, it is
explained, is going out to meet con-
tracts entered into last year, and the
average expenditure will be smaller af-
ter month or two. But it will have
to be much less, if $S0,O00 600 is to last
until a deficiency bill can be passed.
If congress had authorized the ex-
penditure of more than 100000 900 for
the army in the fiscal year, it is the
treaSury'S opinion that the income from
customs and internal revenue would be
sufficient to meet every demand, but
the trouble appears to be not the diff
fculty about raising money, but the
authority to spend it.
The estimate submitted to congress
for the army asked for $144, 00O, 900 for
the year, on the assumption that 100, 000
men would be allowed to be main
tained in the army. The cutting off of
the S64. .000. 900 seems to have been ill
judged, for if the expenditures continue
as they have been in July and August
the appropriation will not be half

PERISH FROM THIRST
Awful Fate of James Dayton and His
Horses In Death Valley.

Chicago, Aug PA special to the
Times-H Herald from Los Angeles, says:
News received at Daggett from the
searching party which left there Aug
ust 10, sets at rest all doubt of the fate
of James Dayton. care taker of the Pa
cific Coast Borax cOmpany's property
at Furnace Creek, Death valley, whence
he had started for Daggett on July "a.
The relief party found Dayton on
August Il within a few miles of Ben
netts Holes, dead in the desert under a
mesquite bush, where he had evidently
lain down to die. being overcome by
heat or Illness Close by was his wa
gOn, with his team of six horses. four
of them harnessed to it, and two hitch
ed behind, lying where they had per-
ished misera bly, from thirst and hunger
although hitched to a wagon loaded
with hay and water.
There was ample evidence of their
terrible struggle to free themselves
Some of the animals had broken parts
of their harness in their frantic efforts
to get free. They lay in a heap where
they had succumbed to the heat.
The only living thing at the scene of
death and desolatiOn was DaytOn's
faithful little dog. which for 20 days
had watched by the side of its dead
master in the desert. The dog managed
to survive, probably by getting water
from an old bOraX camp known as Ea-
gle camp. half a mile distant. Dayton
is supposed to have succumbed to the
terrible heat, the thermometer register
ing 120 degrees. owing to mis- enfeebled
condition, caused by old age and ill
ness. Death evidently overlook him
the same day he started from Furnace
creek
Dayton was over 20 years of age and
his long residence in Death valley had
made him familiar with that country.
He had travelled the road between Fur
mace creek and Daggett perhaps as
many as 40 times and was Injured to its
hardShiDS and dangers he had COM
plained of not feeling well before he
started, but set out alone on his tedious
trip as he had done 50 many times be-
fore A letter was received at Daggett
from a man left in charge at Furnace
creek during Dayton's absence,in which
casual mention was made of Dayton s
start and as 16 days had elapsed it was
decided to search for him
