BANDITS ROB FAST
 PASSENGER TRAIN
FOUR MASKED MEN LOOT MAIL CAR ON K. c. s. ROAD NEAR
 TEXARKANA

Texarkana, Ark.-Four masked men held up the Kansas City Southern pas senger train No. 2 between Bloomburg, Tex, and Texarkana, and footed the mail car of all yaluables.
 Neither the express car nor the passenger coaches was entered
 F. Woodson, engineer, of Shreve- port, was knocked over the head with the butt end of gun. His scalp was cut in several places, but his injuries are not serious.
 E, Moss, negro porter of Shreye- port, was shot in both legs.
 Postal authorities decline to make any estimate of the loot, merely say ing that everything of value in the car was taken.
 The train left Shrevep rt at $50 D. m., being due in Texar tana at 9:20 D. m.
 About mile north of Bloomburg the bandits entered the cab of the engine and commanded the engineer to proceed to the bridge across the Sulphur river, where the stop was made with all but the engine and the mail car on the bridge.
 Two mail clerks in the car resisted the command of the bandits to open the car, whereupon a small gas bomb was thrown through the transom The gas compelled the clerks to open the door. Meanwhile Engineer Woodson had been knocked out and the porte shot.
 Fireman B. T. Ryan of Shreveport was forced to uncouple the mail car after which the bandits took one of the clerks to the engine cab, two ban dits remaining in the car with the other clerks. A run was then made to the outskirts of Texarkana, the car being footed en route.
 After the bandits left the car the engineer, at their command, went back to the Sulphur river bridge for the remainder of the train before com ing in to report the robbery

See Colony as Great Asset.

Of late years France has begun to evince an interest in the kerguelen islands, discovered by the French nayl- gator Kerguelen Tremarec, in 1T'Z' According to Henry Boissiere, who, with his brother, has devoted himself to the development of these islands, they will soon become a prosperous colony. They contain no trees, but an immense quantity of fodder plant, species of cabbage, which is eagerly eaten by horses, sheep, pigs and raD- bits. Rabbits, rats and mice are the only indigenous animals. There is al so a single bird, the sheathbill, which lives in company with the sea birds. The sea elephants, which had been practically eXterminated by 1S40, are now again very numerous. The waters round the islands also abound ip whales. and it is upon the whale aTio sea elephant fishery that the hopes 1Qf developing a useful colony rest.

Hyuienic Dish-Washing.

The hygienic importance of electric dish-washing has been shown in a re- port by Surgeon J. G. Cummings of the United States army. Investigating the effects Of the influenza epidemic in institutions having a quarter of q million people, it was found that where dishes were washed by hand there were 324 cases of the disease per 1000 persons; but in hotels and other places having electric dish washers the rate was only one-third as great, or 10S per 1000 The wash ing by machines is not only more thoTough than hand washing, but hotter water is used, and this insures more effective sterilization.

SAM ANTONIO IN
 PATH OF FLOOD
DEATH LIST LARGE-PROPERT DAMAGE ESTIMATED AT MIL
 LIONS OF DOLLARS.
BIG LOSS IN CENTRAL TEXAS
Area of 10000 Square Miles Bears Brunt of Swollen Streams-Heavy Rains Continued to Fall for
 Several Hours.

San Antonio Texas.-The number of known deaths caused by the most disastrous flood in the history of San Antonio still stands high At one time it was claimed that the loss of life would reach 300 Conservative estimates place the property loss at $3,000,000.
 Strict military control was main tained over the inundated districts.
 As the foodwaters slowly receded the search of the wreckage continued.
 One of the greatest losses to any line of business was suffered by auto mobile dealers, many new cars being damaged in warehouses or on display room floors. That loss was estimated at $250, ,000.
 Great damage was done to the pave ments of the city, many entire blocks being washed away. Loss also caused by scum of fuel oil, released at one or the city pumping stations and at various manufacturing plants. As the waters receded the oil was left on the buildings and their con. tents
 At the San Antonio Express build ing the current at the crest of the flood was estimated at 12 miles an hour. It was so strong that heavy floating timbers caused much damage to buildings.
 A number of old landmarks on side streets in the business section dis appeared as completely as though they had melted away. Some of these structures were more than 100 years old. All were small and were occu. pied by miscellaneous business enter prises.
 It was impossible to obtain accurate estimates of the number of dwellings washed away, but, according to one police report, the figure was placed at 200. Of the 27 bridges that crossed the San Antonio River in it's 14-mile winding course through the city, only one actually was washed away, but II except four were damaged sev- eral almost beyond repair. ! With communication into the cen. tral Texas flood district being re- established, loss of life and property damage as a result of the great deluge mount steadily. It has been definitely established that an area extending north as far as Georgetown, south to San Antonio and below, west to San Marcos, east of Calvert and Bryan, or approximately 10000 square miles already has felt the effects of flood waters.
