Although Every Effort Is Being Made
to Find the Men Nothing Decisive
Can Be Learned-Thousht to Be
Work of An Organized Gang.

[From Fridays Daily.l
The third of series of robberies on
the Milwaukee within short distance
of Ottumwa, was successfully carried
out at Foster last night OF this morn.
ing, when the Black Diamond store,
owned by the black Diamond Coal
Co. was entered by thieves, who car
ried away some fifteen or twenty pairs
of shoes and one overcoat valued at
$24 There is no clue to the identity
of the robbers.
Nothing was known of the burglary
until this morning. Early risers saw
that the doors of the store were stand
ing wide open, and on investigation 1t
was learned that burglary had been
committed. The thieves entered at
| the front door of the store, in which
they bored a hole so that the latch
could be removed. They seem to have
left the store by the rear door, as the
fastening was removed from it after
| they entered,
For time this morning the store
was kept closed and nc one was allow
ed to enter. Efforts were made to Sc
cure blood hounds to track the bur
glars as this Is the third robbery in
the vicinity of Foster within week.
No dogs could be secured, however
and the plan was of necessity given
up. On investigation 1t was found
that the only missing articles are be-
tween fifteen and twenty pairs OF
Wells shoes and an overcoat valued al
s24.
TWO Other Rohberies.
Less than a week has passed since
thieves broke into the Wilson store al
Foster. Wednesday night s.milas
robbery occurred at Moravia, but in
neither case was anyone found who
could throw light upon the problem
of finding the fellow. 1t Is though
that the robbery which took place las
might is the work of the same ones

fully believe that a large part Is real.
We obtain support In that conclusion
by the general impressions formed by
Intelligent old people. who, almost with.
out exception, assure us they hear and
see far less of consumption" now than
they did In the days of their youth. 1t
Is of great interest to determine the In.
fuences which have been at work In
bringing about this result. 1t may be
said ut once that attention to the now
so fashionable doctrine of contagiOn
has had no material share In 1t since
until the last few years no sort of pre-.
cautions on that score had been taken.
1t Is possible, but perhaps not very
probable, that the inspection of butch.
ers meat may have been influential In
some slight degree. BY far the most
probable hypothesis is that the gain has
accrued from the Improvement in the
general prosperity of the race which
the nineteenth century witnessed. Dur
ing It mankind were, on the whole,
prosperous and In most civilized coun.
tries the houses, the clothing and. above
all, the food of the community were i'm.

can remember what 1t was sixty years

condition of the working classes has

been spread over a larger number. Ex-

less common than It was, while what
may be called the dietic use has been
maintained. Thus, then. we seem to
come to the conclusion that the reduc.
