sYL DIXON DIES


United States as the "Bcom Train Man.
Syl Dixon, who located in Dodge
CITY 4 few years ago, died in Wichita
% List Saturday, after nearly . years
illness. His wife went from their
home here several months ago to
\ take care Of him at Wichita, as be
had taken sick there and had never
been able to make the trip home, and
mis- two daughters were called to
Wichita last week.
Syl Dixon first became generally
known in the west during the early
settlement Of Oklahoma, and ever
since that time he had been al differ
ent times in charge Of "boom trains.
which were run for the purpose ol
Advertising Kansas and Oklahcma.
One Of his greatest trains was the
Mckinley train, train loaded with
Kansas corn run to St. Louis at the
time the National convention which
nominated Mckinley was held at
that place. All together. be ran six
ieen trains from this part ofthe coun-
try, some Of them attracting q great
deal Of attention. A brass band was
taken with the train in some cases.
and the cars were decorated in way
Z to advertise Kansas ~ an agricultur-
al state. A stop was made ct each
station, the band played. crowds con-
gregsted, and newspaper reporters
swsrmed around the trains, and the
big papers gave columns Of free ad-
vertising to Kansas. Mr.. Dixon
managed one Of his big train schemes
the 6rst year be was in Dodge City.
and this year planned his "Taft
Special, which he expected to make
the greatest Of all oihis undertakings
in this line. he stated to the writer
that he had never made much out Of
these trains, but that he had learned
how to make them profitable to him
self. He expected to make big
thing out Of the "Tsft Special. His
health, however, was failing even be
fore this, and he was greatly handi-
capped in the undertaking from the
start, and finally abandoned il. and
later the floods Of that time interfsred
with traffic SO that it would have
been q failure 10 any case.
Mr.. Dixon came FROM . prominent
family. A few years ago he took
quite an active part, in a quiet way,
in Kansas politics. and was acquaint-
ed with the politicians all over the
state, as well as a great many Of the
business men. He was 81 years old.
and leaves Q family Of 9 wife, two
two sons and two daughters, all Of
whom are grown. The sons have
never lived here. The daughters,

WAS FROM DODGE CITY
Eastern Dentists and Lawyers Didn't Enter
ialn,a a Slds-show Attraction, After All,
and We're Surprised.

anu Woto ouIpiiSous
DR.. Simpson returned the first Of
the week from a trip to Washington
whore he was called by the National
Dental Association, and the attorneys
who are defending q big dentist Of
Washington D. O., in q case which
is to decide whether or not Chicago
man has cinch on the profits Of Q
certain kind Of dental work. II was
irritating, no doubt, to eastern den-
lists to come to Dodge City for
evidence in this case, because it was
admitting that Short Grass dentist
had been doing work for twenty
years. which was only two years old
in the east, and looked upon as Q
discovery.
They evidently expected a side
show attraction in the Dodge City
dentist. and when Dr.. Simpson
showed up there, with nothing that
could be detected to distinguish him
from professional man Of the east,
excepting certain knowledge in
dentistry in advance Of the east, they
were no doubt surprised, perhaps
disappointed. DR.. Simpson had .
look in at one OF the real dental
Offices Of Washington. The dentist
who is the defendant in the forth
coming suit was doing work for Mrs.
Fairbanks at the moment DR.. Simp-
son called on him.
The thing which puzzled the
lawyers and the dentists who were
connected with the case which took
DR.. Simpson to Washington, was,
why should DR.. Simpson, il he was
real, and II be had been ahead Of
eastern men of his profession, why
should he have stayed in Dodge City
oil Of his life. He had hard time
to convince them that a person could
prefer to live "away out there, and
still be person CT good judgement,
but he gave them a talk on the west
which left them thinking they had
been suckers for not locating in Ford
county themselves.
The controversy over the patent,
which DR.. Simpson was called to
Washington, to furnish evidence in,
will be settled in the suit which will
come up at later date.
Dr.. Simpson had a pleasant visit,
while in Washington with Judge and
Mrs. Madison, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Grobety. He had chat with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, met a number Of old
friends. and counts the trip the most
enjoyable one he has ever taken. It
was in big manufacturing concern
in Philadelphia, that DR.. Simpson
learned, that in spite Of staying in
Dodge City all his life, he had not
escaped attention. When be was
introduced to one Of the head men
Of the concern, the man turned to his
records, and showed DR.. Simpson a
page which had his name, location,
the things he had done in dentistry,
and clippings Of articles he had
published in Dental Journals, o pretty

Supplies Committee Will Open Them at Headquarters
 To- morrow.
DETECTIVES ARE TO MOVE.
Twelve Front Feet of Patrolmen's Room to Be Given to Their
 Work.

Bids are to be opened by the sup plies committee of the board of police commissioners tomorrow for the in stalation of the Bertillon system of equipment. which the local department will have in accordance with the ap- proprlation made by the board off1nance this year. This means that in short time the Bertillon system will become a part of the New Haven police sys- tenn, as has already been done in sev- eral cities of the state The Bertillon equipment is to be installed in the present detective Headquarters which will be strictly tho Bertillon room. meaning that the detectives are going to move their home.
 The new quarters for the detectives has already been picked. II will be the forward part of what is now the gneral patrolmens quarters. where the men spend their leisure time on what Is known in police circles as report ' The partltloning off of this section of the room will not make the patrolmen's space very much smaller than at pres ent, as 1t is proposed to use only the first twelve feet of the room all the way across from wall to wall This will make a considerably larger quar- tor for the detectives than at present and more accessible and pleasant one, as there will be several large windows across the front and the entrance, which is now closed. except on rare occasions. will be opened so as to give entrance right from the front door of headquarters. The room will be wider by several feet than the present and nearly twice as long.
 This change will probably be adver- tsed for bidding in few days so that workmcn be started soon after the conclusion of the changes in the main quarters of the department. Tn order to install the Bertllon system the detectives will have to get into their new room so that the work wllf probably be started within couple of weeks
