Early on the morning Of June &. a gang held up the Denver and Rio Grande train near Parachute, Colo. but after blowing two safes, and shooting one railroad en- ploye, they secured only ten dollars. posse of cowboys was at once organ ized, and chase was given.
 In the chase one of the bandits was shot from his horse. by cowboy and as soon as he fell, he was seen to shoot himself through the head. Pictures were taken of the dead man. It was believed that the photographs were those of Logan and Spence came here to identify the bandit. through the jau officials, where Logan had Seen con- fined over year.
 Sheriff Fox, from whom Logan es- capped, positively identified the photo graphs of those of Logan. So did "dIAeF IhOihdS Dell WnOH Logan neiC up at the point Of a pisCol while es- caping from the jail. The outstand- ing rewards for the bandit are varI- ously estimated between S1S.000 and S3O,06O. l. is probable that the re- mains will be exhumed and further identification established, as Logan had many bullet marks on his body.

HISTORIC DRUG CHESTS
Exhibit of Receptacles Carried on
 hany Important Expeditions.

St. Louis, July 11.--ln the British section of the Palace of Liberal Ats at the Worlds Fair has just been ar- ranged an exhibit of relics that will have wonderful interest for visitors. It consists of the medicine chests that have been carried on expedi tions Of war and exploration in all parts of the world. Arctic expeditions in search of the North Pcle, British wars in Africa, explorations in the heart of ''Darkes st Africa perilous journeys of war cor respondents all contribute tc this ool- lection cf relics.
 The aluminium medicine chest that was carried by the Jackson worth Arctic expedition witch rpent three years in Franz Joseph land is shown side bv side with the chest used by Fmin Pasha, Gen. Gordou's govern CT of EquatorIal Soudan. This chest was taken by Arahs when Einin Pasra. was msssacred in 1892. It was recap ture6 by Baron Dhanis. from whom it was stolen by natives. and was recent ly recovered in the dwarf country Of Africa.
 One of the most interesting speci- mens ;n view of the fact that the man who used it has recently died is the chest used by Sir Henry M Stanley on his Emin Pasha relief expedition, .oc- cupying three years time.
 Other interesting cases are the one used by Lionel Decie, correspondent for the London Telegraph and journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Ugan- da, Africa: the rawhide covered chest used by Lieut. S.

ANTI-coLLEGE ARGUMENTS.
Prof Clark Replies to Manufacturer
 Crane's Structures.

Chicago, July 10-Prof. J. Scott Clark of Northwestern university has formulated a reply to number ofan- ti-college arguments made by R. L.. Crane, a prominent Chicago manufac- turer. Part of the reply is as follows:
 Some time ago one of Chicago's cap tains of industry, a man who has built up one of the greatest manufactures in the world, made an investigation of a subject which he calls "The utility of a classical education for young men who have to earn their own living"
 His standing as a great manufac- turer should give his opinions great weight but this result does rot indi- cate that it did. The reason for this apparent indifference appears very clearly in the booklet referred to-"
 Prof. Clark takes objection to MT. Cranes argument in barring from the discussion all technical and scientific graduates By, so doing, ProI. Clark re- plies, the manufacturer leaves out of his discussion over 50 per cent. of all the graduates of American institutions

EIGHT LEAN YEARS
NebuChadnezzar's Drouth
 Beaten by a Year
A Paper by the Geological Survey on the Drouthy Situation in the South- West.

Washington, July 10.-The disastrous result of eight years of drought in a region that has only a limited water supply is the most impressive lesson contained in Professional Paper No. 23 recently published by the United States Geological Survey. Forest Conditions in the Black Mesa Forest Reserve, Ar izona" is the title of the paper, which was prepared by Mir F. q. Hummer from notes furnished by Messrs. Tneo- dore E. Rixon and Arthur Dodwell
 The reserve comprises an area of 27S6 square miles and includes parts of Yavapai, Coconino, Gila, Navajo, Apache and Graham counties, Arizona. It is an irregular strip of lard running from central Arizona in a general southeasterly direction to the New Mexico boundary It follows and les principally on the north slope of the Colorado-Gila divide. The character of this divide, known as Black MeSa. is that of southward-facing escarp- ment of nearly perpendicular rock, 1900 to 2000 feet high, which is inac- cessible, except in a few places, to the most daring climber. It is the south edge of the great Colorado plateau. The topography of the reserve is in general rough and broken, though the southeastern portion is more rolling with several high plateaus.
 Water is very scarce. Eight years ago the reserve was comparatively well watered but successive seasons of drought have rendered 1t exceedingly dry, and unless a change for the better occurs cattlemen and sheepmen will desert the country. Numerous small areas were once profitabl farmed, but in recent years the lack of rainfall has caused marked decline in agriculture. Grazing, the main industry of this Snd adjacent regions, has also suffered greatly from continued droughts. The only remaining areas which are use1 solely for cattle range are on Blue and Salt River and Eagle Creek. The best growths of wild forage grasses are nearly always found at some distance from water, and are consequently not available for stock which are unab' e to make the trip from water to pasture.
 The Verde slope in the Beaver Creek watershed is an example of repealed overstocking. This district was for merry A source or great Weelln 10 'S1l- tiers in that vicinity, but the excessive number of cattle and horses grazed on it has finally resulted in the complete annihilaticn of the pasture. Unless stringent rules are adopted to regulate the number of stock and the areas on which they shall be grazed on each permit, this condition will sooner or later prevail throughout the reserve.
 Yellow pine is the principal timber tree of the reserve and the only lumber at present used for manufacturing pubposes. The drought of the last eight years has affected even trees like the yellow pine, alligator juniper and Ari- zona cypress, which, as a rule, stand dry weather very we'll. Hundreds of thousands of feet of timber will be lost unless immediately logged

Seventeen Killed in an Erie
 Railroad Collision
AN OPERATORS FAULT
ATower Signal Given to an Approach ing Train Too Quickly-The Victims Were Members of German Society on an Annual Outing.

New York. July 1O-Seventeen per sons were killed and about fifty were injured in a collision. which occurred at Milvale, N. J., just before noon to- day, when the regular passenger train on the Greenwood Lake branch of the Erie railroad ran into an excursion train that stopped to take water. All the dead and injured lived in Hobo ken, Jersey City and New York
 The accident is believed to have re- suited from the tower operator having lowered the signal too soon. The train which was run into was a special car rying members of the first Platt- deutscher association of HOboken on the annual outing, and had eight hum dred passengers. It consisted of twelve cars and two engines. The first engine had taken water and the train had moved up and stopped with the second engine beside the tank. when the regular train drew near.
 The fiaglnan of the special signalled the engineer of the incoming train. but owing to a curve in the road. his flag was not seen until too late. It is claimed that the engineer of the reg ular train had slowed down to about ten miles an hour before he crashed into the special, but his engine tore through the rear car. the greater part of its length and drove the forward end of that car into the car ahead
 The killed in the accident are

Constant Fighting About the BeIeaguered Port Arthur
NO DECISIVE RESULTS
A Russian Sortie and the Capture of a Japanese Battery - Rains Have Ceased and Land Operations Will Shortly be Resumed.

Che Foo, July 10.-On July Eth, the Russian cruiser Novik and four gun boats went out under the protection of the guns on Golden Gate Hill and she'll ed a Japanese battery which was sur- rounded and captured finally by the Russian infantry.
 The fighting to the eastward of Pert Arthur has been very heavy since July f. Japanese ships along the shore are shelling the Russian position in the hills. Smoke from the artillery cn the hills around Port Arthur is seen almost continuously.
 The dead and wounded are being brought in at all hours and many pri- vate houses have been turned into hos pitals. Only skirmishes have occur red to the northward. The main Jap anese force is ten miles away. but the Japanese scouts have been seen in the vicinity. of the marine camp, which commands the principal pass to the hills directly back of Port Arthur. On the nights of July 2. 3 and 4, the Jap anese fleet bombarded the roads south of town. The forts are r-t damaged. No further night attacks have b-en made since July 4.
 A Chinese mechanic from the Port Arthur dry docks says that two large three-funnel ships have been missing from the Russian fleet since the fight off Port Arthur on June 23. The Rus sians on the other hand, say their fleet is intact, and that as a matter cf fact, the Japanese have been losers in the Sights off Port Arthur The Rus sians assert that the Japanese lost no less than ten torpedo boats in attempts to reach the Russian guardships, which are protected by the stone laden ships sunk by the Japanese in Heir effort to block the entrance to Port Arthur.
 Some of the tornedo boat attacks of the Japanese have been al21ost fantas- tical. The Japanese made attacks where success was impossible and their torpedo boats were sunk. The Japan csc have refused assistance. either com hitting suicide or fighting eff their would-be reseuers. --
