Josephine Seeks MIX RECORD.

Columbia.-The worlds record for
milk production has been broken by
Missouri Chief Josephine, the prize
COW of the College of Agriculture. In
the four months contest just ended,
the total exceeds the worlds record
10 per cent. Chief Josephine gave
1885 pounds of milk in the four
months. The production averaged
1914 pounds a day for the 100 days.
The COW that previously held the rec
ord was Colantha Fourth Johanna. The
great amount of milk that Josephine
gives can be appreciated when it is
said that it is twice as much In a
month as the average COW gives in a
year.

beds; Massachusetts is second, with
2,4O3 beds; Pennsylvania third, with
2S47 beds; Colorado fourth, with 1,489
beds. and New Mexico fifth, with
1,1O4 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for its consumptives. New
York has set itself the task of having
N u~ncared-for tuberculosis in 1916"
and several cities in other parts OF
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases Of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May l, 1911.

TREMORS KEEP
ITALIANS IN A PANIC
Thousands Sleep in the Open Through
Fear of Death Under DAM
aged Buildings.

Naples, Ttaly.-Fresh tremors in
1taly's earthquake-stricken district
threw the population into a panic as
serious as that occasioned by the first
shocks. At Avellino, King Victor EN-
manuel and Queen Helena, who insist
ed on joining him in the tour of the
affected territory, appeared before the
people in an effort to check their
fright.
Not even the royalties, however,
could reassure the terrified. Fully a
million people slept out of doris, and,
when day came, refused to venture
into their homes again even for cook
ing. Camps have been pitched around
towns. Army tents are in demand.

LONE BANDIT RODS
TOURIST SLEEPER
DRIVES PASSENGERS INTO THE
PRIVATE CAR OF A ROAD
OFFICIAL.
vALUABLES ARE ALL TAKEN
Forced Victims to Pile Cash and Val
tables in One Heap, Then Shoots
Out the Rear Lights on
the Car.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Eastbound pas
senger train No. 2 of the FL Paso
& Southwestern railroad has been
held up by a lone bandit. He herded
the occupants of the tourist sleeper
into a private car attached to the real
of the train, compelled them to depos-
1t their money and valuables in a
heap and escaped with the plumber
across the desert toward the noun
tains. Rough estimates Mace the
value of his haul at several thousand
dollars.
The hold-up occurred one mile east
of Robstart, N. M, near Corrizozo. At
this point, the robber, who had board
ed the train at Corrizzozo, covered
the Pullman conductor and brakeman
with his gun, compelling them to stop
the train.
Driving the men before him, he en-
tered the sleeping car. awakened the
occupants with a command to gather
their %valuables and proceed to the
private car of Superintendent G. F.
Hawks in the rear.
No Passenger Escaped.
One by one the half-dressed passen-
gers were covered by the robbers gun
as they clambored from their berths.
Taking his time, and exhibiting re-
markable GOODNESS, the bandit careful
ly took an inventory of what each
bore in his. uplifted hands.
The job was thorough, not a PAS
senger escaping, and not one being
able to keep anything of value. When
all the berths were emptied, the BAN
dit drove his victims into the private
car, where all, including Superintend-
Hawks, were told to place their
property in a pile on the floor.
Shoots Out Rear Lights.
Still covering the crowd with his
gun, he swept the plumber into a sack
and backed out Of the car. AS he de-
parted he shot out the rear lights OF
the train, firing four times.
Posses are in pursuit of the robber,
in the hope of intercepting him before
he a cross the desert to the noun
tains, toward which he is headed.
The passengers, who have been lett
for the time being, are being
cared for by the railroad company.
