Frank Williams appeared at a side
door and was Immediately covered by
two pistols.
Williams and Trumbo were ordered
to face the wall. While one man COW
cred them with his pistols the other
man ran behind the counter and took
all the money in sight.
The three men stepped out of the
door, mounted their horses and fed.
Every horse in sight was pressed into
service and pursuit was begun.
A mile and half out Of town the
posse began shooting from the saddle.
The robbers wheeled in their seats, re-
turned the fire and held their pursuers
off until they reached the timber. They
have not been seen since. 1t is be-
slieved the men will make for the Hole

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Experts Say MILK From Cows At
fected Would Re Injurious.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 3.-Yale
scientists are battling against the
spread into Connecticut of the foot and
mouth disease. Both Professor Will
liam H. Brewer, formerly q member
of the state board of agriculture and
head of the Yale department of agri-
culture, and DR.. Edward FL. Jenkins,
director of the Connecticut experiment
station, said that the effect Of the dis
ease On milk undoubtedly renders it
unfit for human use.
Professor Brewer said that illness
would be the result of using the milk
from COWS suffering from the foot and
mouth disease and that it's effects were
most serious in the cases of young
children. He said that he was not
certain as to the form of disease which
the milk produced in human beings,
but he did not think that it was the
foot and mouth disease itself.
1.-THE disease, as far as / know
said Professor Brewer, ''has not gained
foothold in this state and in fact
have not yet heard of a single case
here. It's appearance can only be con.
sidered as a public calamity. In Eng.
land they spent $7,00O,00o to stamp out
the disease, and in France they spent
100000 to do the same thing

ize at Boston.
BOSTON, Dee. 3.-Matters are rap
idly shaping themselves for vigorous
handling of the foot and mouth disease
in this state. The situation has been
canvassed and brought from DR.. Aus
tin Peters, the chief of the state cattle
bureau, a statement that there are 700
cases Of the disease divided among
twenty-five towns.
The arrival Of DR.. D. q. Salmon,
chief of the United States bureau Of
animal industry, brought arrangements
for establishing close quarantine to
head, as he sanctioned what had been
done and gave various orders which
will quickly bring all New England I'M
der observation of staff officers of the
bureau of agriculture. His first confer"
ence was with his own men, DR.. Sam
uel e. Bennett, who has charge of the
New England division; DR.. John r.
Mohler, chief Of the pathological bu-
reau; DR.. Leonard Pearson of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, who has been

mont.
Later a statement was issued in the
form of interrogatories and answers.
By this it was seen that DR.. Salmon be-
lieves the situation is very disQuieting,
that it is impossible to tell when the
disease will be eradicated, that no
cases are known outside of New Eng
land, that cattle exposed to infection
will not be Immediately slaughtered
and that reasonable compensation will
be given to cattle owners whose ami
mails are slaughtered under direction of
the federal government.
Anxiety here has now turned to the
milk supply in the knowledge that
much of the infection is in herds of
COWS which have been contributing to
the supply sent to Boston.

Building a city.

Is it not bit singular that in 5,787
years we have not learned how to build
city? The first city in the world was
built by murderer, fratricide! Did
not Cain, with the mark and curse,
build this city in the land Of Nod, hard
by Eden, and name It. after his son
Enoch? The city Of Enoch was better
suited to the needs of that age than
New York is to the needs of this. The
trouble is, we build other things de-
signedly; but citiey rise up haphazard.
Like Topsy, theys5just grow. Once
established. witKIa corporation and a
cathedral, they forever after retain
their worst aspects, with streets as
crooked as dogs hind leg and with
fewer commercial conveniences than
q country crossroads. X. Press.

PHILIrPINE PAcIrIcArIoN

The Philadelphia Press prints today a
map OF The Philippine archipelago.
which is interesting and instructive.
The information is drawn from the In
sular Bureau Of the War Department.
and lis endorsed by Judge Taft
It shows by certain black blotches
and circles that all parts have not yet
been Dacifed. but these are isolated
and not extensive. Talcott Williams.
the gentleman under whose direction
the map was drawn says that his
purpose was TO show the districts per-
fectly safe for Americans or for any
one to walk abroad with only a cane
for a weapon. The map shows that
nearly all portions of the archipelago
are paciiied. On the island of Luzor
there are two provinces unpacifed, Ba-
tangas and Laguina, these. compared
with the islands whole area, are lin
tied in extent There is a district in tn,
interior inhabited by sayages that's IN
safe. not because Of the insurrection
but because Of the nature Of the PEG
pie There is no armed resistance Their
against the United States authorities.
In the interior of Negros it is show
that there are Iadrone bands, bu
these are dangerous. not for the reaso
that they are in instruction, but be
cause they are foes Of order general,

PROVIDENCE sUPPLANTED

Here are some deductions which the
Republican makes from the late offer
of Addicks.
We have faith enough i'm Mr. Ad-
dicks TO believe If he was given per-
mission TO lay his pipes for his gas
company in the streets Of Wilmington
that he would furnish every house
with gas six months for nothing. That
the streets of Wilmington would be
lighted up as bright as day. Then the
city would get all its lights of the gas
order free forever.
Now It occurs to us that If this thing
keeps up we shall have no further need
for Providence; the laws of nature are
set aside: we need no longer work in
order to provide for our wants. No
Addicks steps in. and the laws of the
universe are all reversed. He will
light our homes. and as we gather
around the gas log while the Oxy-Hy-
drogen jet flames overhead, and our
children study their lessons by its ra-
dance we shall pat our chests and
thank heaven-no thank Addicks-that
We have gotten something for nothing.
Not only our streets are to be light
ed by free gas. but our homes as we'll.
II viii cook our meals. and probably
the food itself will be free. We have a
class OF men who delight in that sort
Of thing, but formerly they have taken
uD their residence at either Farnhurst
or Greenbank.
OF course there are still those who
hold old-fashioned ideas OF self-re-
spect who wish to pay for what they
get, who persist in buying their own
clothes and putting up for their own
liquor. They would no more think of
accepting free gas in their homes or
for the city they inhabit, than they
would accept the nickel dropped into
their hands by a passerby. But they
are out Of date. From free lunch &c
free gas, there is but a step, and from
free gas to free morals there is no dis
cernible transition. The modern
Faust has accurately gagged the ma
lures Of a class Of men. Providence fl
supplanted.

Buttons on Coats

Buttons on Coats
A gentleman vino evidently thinks
that newspaper reports are walking
encyclopedias, asked me the other
day why clothiers and tailors always
put buttons on the back part of a coat
and upon the sleeves. He said he
could readily understand why they
were put on front because then a coat
oculd be buttoned up, but there were
could be buttoned up, but there were
the back had to confess that l could
net at once answer his conundrum, but
I invited him into the shop Of a tailor
close by, and to him we put the ques-
tion. The only reason he could give
was that the presence Of the buttons
added TO the garment q more genteel
There was tradition, he
said, that the idea originated away back
in the centuries when men carried
swords, and uhe buttons on the back
part of a coat were intended to hold a
belt in place. Talking about buttons
it is said that the only thing which
some Of the big policemen can buy
ready-made in the line of furnishing
goods is a collar button
