LONE BANDIT
ROBS STAGE
BY LEAVING TWO WOMEN UN-
MOLESTED HE LOSES A GOOD
SHARE OF THE BOOTY.

ROSEBURG, Ore, Oct. s.
Hands up, this is no joke" With
this command, a lone robber who
was masked with a white handker
chief stepped out of the brush a
half mile south of this city at 1890
o'clock last night and compelled
Supt. w. G. Benham, of the Myrtle
Point stage line, Tom Duncan the
dricer, and sewn passengers to de-
liver their valuables. Among the
passengers were Mrs. Rooney, of To-
ledo, Ore, and Mrs. Burnett, of San
Francisco, who were unmOlested. The
robber, in consequence, did not get
$500 in the possession of Mrs.
Rooney, and sevral hundred dollars
worth of jewelry concealed in the
stockings of Mrs. Burnet. From the
other five he secured $3.50 and two
revolvers. A man named Hastings,
from Portland, saved his purse con-
tanning $50 by dropping it. The rob
berry occurred on high grade. A
posse was soon organized and set off
in pursuit of the bandit.

A. L. Melander, professor of ento-
mology of the State College at Pllu-
man is in the city for the purpose of
checking up his experiments carried
on during the past summer. The
results show that fruit pests have
been completely eradicated with one
spraying.
The experiments have been carried
on in the orchards of z. A. Lanham
and Samuel Johnson.
Of the 700 boxes of Jonathan
apples packed out to date but 70
worms were found. This is lis Of
l per cent of loss-so small that
the fruit may be said to be absolutely
free.
Two years ago the orchard of 2. A.
Lanham was sprayed four times and
40 per cent of the fruit was lost, or
total of $500 boxes in the orchard.
The following year the work was
taken up by Mr.. Melander of the
State College and four sprayings was
applied in accordance with the IDEAS
of the State College, and the loss was
reduced to six boxes or Ito of l
per cent.
This year but one spraying was
given and the results show loss OF

If he did allow his name to go

If Mr.. Shaffer is innocent of the

THE CRY OF BossIsM.

II PFOITFNTI,Y a cry is heard that the Re-
i publican party in Delaware will do as
.bossv shall dictate in all political matters. The
;rnilcaton is that the voters have say in poll
tics that their desires count for nothing, but that
a sort Of imperial ruler maps out all political
plans. leaving nothing for the voters to do but
obey.
Bossism Of the type hinted at by these critics
in the opposition party throughout the State does
not exist. II has not existed. Mr.. Addicks for
vears tried to become the boss of the party in this
State. He failed. His failure is striking les
son TO any other person who may fancy that
boss in the Republican party Of Delaware will be,
tolerated.
Recent political history gives but little basis for
the assumption that there is boss. Take for
instance the election OF Mr.. Richardson to the
United States Senate Surely there was no one
man boss stating Mr.. Richardson for that posi-
ton. There was a demand among the people that
Judge Pennewill be chosen senator. Had Judge
Pennewill needed the wishes Of his many friends
he would have been elected senator without the
dictation or interference not only of any mythical
boss, but even of any leaders of the party. Mr.
Richardson certainly did not make an extraordi-
nary fight for the position he now holds And the
same may be said of Senator dupont. He was
elected senator chiefly because of the long SER
vices he had rendered the party in opposing the
ambitions OF Mr.. Addicks. That leadership was
thrust upon him.
Look for moment at the present situation
There are dozen candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor. They have fair field,
and the one who gets the most delegates will be
nominated In fact in every canvass for nomina-
tons for places the party ticket there are us-
ally many candidates. No slate goes through.
The voters have fair chance to nominate candi-
dates that may appeal TO them Boss politics
knows no such freedom in the choice of party can
didates.
The cry of boss" was heard during the local
option election, but when the returns were exam
ined it was found that the voters cast their bal
lots on that question according to their individual
opinions

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FIGHT.

nj OW to stamp out tuberculosis is the cry OF
the energetic campaign that is waging
throughout the country against the dreaded dis
ease. In nearly every State an active fight is
being conducted to eradicate tuberculosis. For
many years the disease was regarded as neces-
sarily fatal People would do nothing. The vic
tim was consigned to the end and little was tried
to relieve him. But the growth of the humane
spirit has been followed by general awakening
10 the firm conviction that tuberculosis can be
successfully combatted. In nearly every news
paper that we see there is something about the
war on consumption, mankind's most insiduous
and deadly foe.
The first step to be taken in combating tuber-
culosis is, of course, one OF prevention. Keen
yourself strong, avoid contamination be healthy
if you can, breathe fresh air and take exercise
This is the general advice given as a safeguard
against consumption. Ant-tuberculosis societies
are drilling this sound rule into all those persons
subject to the disease. And the constant ham
mering and reiteration of the wholesome counsel
is bound to have its effect Most people are care
less of their health Possessed Of good health the
average man gives little thought to retaining it.
Only when smitten by disease, or premonitons of
disease, does he begin to care for himself Deaths
from consumption are lessened bv the early dis
covery by the patient tiIat he is in danger If in
the early stages of the disease an examination re-
veals the warning symptoms, and prompt treat
ment follows, the chances are largely in favor OF
recovery.
The progress that is making in the treatment
OF tuberculosis IS shown by the exhibition opened
in this city this afternoon. 1t should be visited
by all those interested in this humane work.

KENT'S STRIDE
FOR GOOD ROADS
will EndeavOr to Get $40, ,OC0
From the State by Rails
ing Like Sum
BpeciaI e rHE rvrN1Na IouNNA1

Special to THE EVENING JOUHNAL
DOVER, Del, Jan. S.-The amount
Of money that will be available for
permanent good road building in Kent
county was considered yesterday by the
Levy Court in looking forward into
the work Of the coming year. The
additional five per centum which the
court has added to the general tax list,
under which it was proposed to raise
$1,000 from each Of the ten districts,
and thereby get the States contingent
appropriation of $4,000 to help the
county will be tried again. It Is 'hor-
oughly successful, il is claimed, toward
making broad strides for good roads,
although the $4,000 has not been
raised and the State aid viii decrease
correspondingly.
Acting Clerk McCommons submitted
list Of what each district had ac-
tually raised and what could be ex-
pected from the several districts and
the State this year.
The Fifth district, comprising a part
of Dover, II was shown. had raised
$500 by the extra levy. and $1400 would
therefore be expended on permanent
road building in the spring.
President J. B. Wharton stated that
he proposed TO use large part of this
fund toward building a permanent road
and smooth, hard driveway between
the neighboring towns of Dover and
Camden.
Two larbe bills were among those
passed by the court, that Of the sher-
iff for $3.50 for the quarter, and that
Of the trustees OF the New Castle
County Workhouse for $4O0 (for the
month";, for the board and care Of pris-
oners.
