HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
The Medical Department Has sue- ceeded in Eradicating One of the
 Most Deadly of Diseases.

The strenuous efforts of the medical department of the army have resulted apparently in the practical eradication of that trying disease. dysentery, which has caused the American troops in the Philippines so much suffering and so many deaths, says a Washing ton report. During the campaigning in the Philippines, as has been the case in every war, hundreds of men have died from this disease, and others have been discharged because of total dis ability. Dysentery is more prevalent and severe in the Philippines than Tn this country, but the enforcement of strict sanitary measures, including the boiling of all drinking water, rules for bathing and especially the washing of the hands before handling food, has caused the disease almost to disap- pear.
 The "adobe itch,' another disease which caused the army great annoy ance, has also been successfully dealt with. While this disease is not fatal, it attacks men, women and children alike Microscopic examinations and study of this disease developed that it was caused by parasite, as in dysen- tery, and it appeared that it was com municated by the careless methods em- ployed by the Chinese in doing laundry work. They were in the habit of dry ing thesclothes by spreading them on bushes and on the grass, and ironing them with cold iron. Under the be- lief that the parasite came from the vegetation, and was communicated to the clothes from the bushes, orders were issued that the clothes would be hung on lines to dry, and ironed With hot irons instead of cold. As result of this practice the disease disap. peared.
 According to reports received by Surgeon General Forward, typhoid fever is on the decrease in the Philip pines, and when the heavy rains come
 on complete eradication of this dis' I ease is expected.

COAL FAMINE IN NEW YORK.

B,aIers. Unable to supply Even Soft
 Coal Now.
 NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The coal fam inc in this city has reached a stage where dealers are unable to supply an thracite at any price and have great difficulty in filling orders for bituminous coal. Those dealers who can deliver soft coal are selling it at $10 and SIP a ton.
 In many parts of the city the effect of the scarcity of fuel is shown in the shutting off of steam in factories and in stopping or diminishing the hot wa ter supplies in flats and apartment houses. In some of the houses the ten ants are warned that hot water will be supplied from the basements only on two days of the week. In some other houses notice has been given that the bot water will be supplied only part Of each day.
 Many people who were unwilling to use soft coal in their furnaces have been driven to it's use, and many who would have been glad to use soft coal find they cannot get any. There is a general surprise and indignation in the city on account of the sudden scarcity of soft coal and the tremendous in. crease in the price of it.

Mysterious Case of Frank
Rogers and Miss Florence Ely
The Fruit1ess Search Which Has Been Made
For the Missing Couple.

THAT fact is often stranger than
fiction and the mystery in real
life sometimes too deep for even
the keenest detective of the country
to find a solution thereof is strikingly
Illustrated by the Ely-Rogers case, OF
Evanston, Ill. Since the disappear
ance of Frank Ely Rogers, boy Of
ID years, from his home last July ac-
companied by his aunt, Miss Florence
Ely, the police and detectives of Chi
cago and the country have been I'M
firing in their efforts to trace the
couple and return them safely home
to the Borrowing parents of the boy
and the aged mother of Miss Ely. Every
clew has been followed up and every
means employed which might possibly
furnish solution of the mystery OF
induce the infatuated aunt and her
young nephew to return to the home
where only loving welcome awaits
them.
Miss Ely, up to last July, had been a
music teacher in Evanston. She is a
handsome gentlewoman of more than
usual intelligence, with large, express
i've dark eyes, dark brown hair and
slender form and delicate physique.
She is 40 years old, and for 20 years
has made her home with her sister,
the wife of Mr.. James C. Rogers, as did
her mother, who is heartbroken over
the peculiar conduct of her daughter.
The family lives on Human avenue,
one of the beautiful residence streets
OF Evanston, only a short distance
from the campus of the Northwestern
university. Mr.. Rogers is connected
with the mercantile firm of Carson,
Pirie, Scott & Co., in Chicago, and is
man of ability and some means.
Fourteen years ago, when Frank was
born, Miss Ely idolized the baby, and
was as devoted to him as if she had
been his mother. It was her supreme
delight to care for and amuse him, and
as he grew into boyhood her affection
grew to be an infatuation which led
her to forsake all her social duties
and devote her entire time to her
nephew.
On the morning on which they disap-
peared (July 13) it is known that Frank
left home ostensibly to attend a picnic
in the woods near the town, but that he
walked by circuitous route to the
station of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. There he met his aunt, Miss
Ely, who had left a satchel with the
station agent the day before. This
she secured and placed therein the
contents of box she carried, and
then threw the box away.
Crank" she called to the boy.
The bow turned quickly took the
satchel from his aunt's hand, and the
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1902-04-04

Several times the couple have been
reported as being in Chicago. Balm
Winger, of Evanston, declares that he
one day saw Frank Rogers sitting in
a window of LIE Grand hotel, Chicago,
but when the police whom he notified
arrived. the boy had gone. At other
hotels and restaurants the couple have
been partially identified, but have al
ways eluded capture. They are be-
ieved to have spent some time at Wau-
kegan, a summer resort. The latest
clew, from Casselton, N. D., appears
more hopeful than any of the others.
