SIT BANDIT.
Atlantic Express Held Up by
Masked Men.
CAR BLOWN OPEN BY DYNAMITE
Ni Booty Secured bv Would be
Rcbberf. Who Fled When One of
Tneir Numbnr Wap Killed.
Portland, Ore., Sept. 24 —The
Atlantic express on the Oregon
rai.road and Navigation line, which
left here at S: 15 o'clock last night,
was field up by four masked men
an hour later near Corbett station,
twenty-one miles east of this city.
One of the robbers was shot and
killed by Express Messengtr Fred
Korner, and Emgineer Oiiie L.
Barrett was seriously wounded by
the same bullet. After the shoot
ing tne robbers tied without secur
ing any booty.
Engineer Barrett this morning
told tiie following story of the
hold-up:
•‘About a mile beyond Tjroutdale
two masked men climbed on the
blind baggage over the tender and
through the gangwav into the
engine, covering bo r h the fireman
and myself with their revolvers.
They ordered me to run the train
to twenty-one mile post and stop
at a light which would oe found
there.
“At twenty-one mile post two
other masked men came out of the
brush and joined us as the train
stopped. The newcomers ordered
us off the engine. The bandits
who had been hiding in the brush
carried two long poles on the ends
of which were sticks of dynamite.
These were placed in our hands
and the fireman and I were ordered
to go back to the express car and
order the messenger to open the
door. If he did not we were to use
the dynamite and blow it open.
“The bandits kept up a lusilade
of shots to warn the passengers to
keep their heads inside windows.
I called out to the messenger:
“ ‘lt is Barrett; open the door.
Don’t shoot.’ This demand had
no effect and the bandies took the
dynamite poles from our hands and
placed them against the door.
“As soon as the sound of the
explosion had died away I was
ordered to go ahead of the party
toward the car. Instead I stepped
behind a rather slender man, one
of the bandits, and the fireman
followed me. The taller man was
in the rear. He was twenty teet
from the express car when the
messenger fired and killed the rob
ber in front of me. The bullet, we
afterwards found, went through
his heart and then struck me in
the left shoulder. The robbers
then fled.”
Sheriff Story and four deputies
left on a special train for the scene
of the robbery at 4:15 a. m.
The Oregon Railroad and Navi
gation company offered a reward
of SI,OOO for the arrest of the high
waymen. Barrett has been in the
employ of the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company for twenty
five years. Express Messenger
Fred Korner is known as one of
the most determined men in the
employ of the Pacific Express
company.
MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS
Sarlously 111—Her Physicians Refuse
to Discuss Her Case.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 24. —Mis.
Jefferson Davis, widow of the
president of the southern confed
eracy, is seriously ill at Castle Inn.
Dr. Charles T. Stockton was
summoned at noon, when Mrs.
Davis’ condition alarmed those in
attendance. Late this afternoon
another physician was called in for
consultation. Dr. Stockton, when
leaving the hotel shortly before 6
o’clock, said:
“Mrs. Davis is in a serious con
dition, but her illness is not of a
nature that necessarily must prove
fatal. I must be excused from
discussing her case further tonight.
Tomorrow morning perhaps we
shall be able to make a statement.”
Mrs. Davis came to Castle Inn
on Monday from Port Colborne,
Out., where she bad been spending

the summer. A party of friends
accompanied her, twenty in all,
one of whom is her grand-daugh
ter, Miss Lucy W. Hayes, of Colo
rado Springs. It- has been Mrs.
Davis’ custom to spend her sum
mers in Canada or at a northern
resort, living in New York City
during the winter months.
At midnight it was reported that
Mrs. Davis was still in a critical
condition. The physicians, who
had been at the hotel all evening,
left at midnight. Dr. Stockton
said: “Mrs. Davis’ condition is
very serious.”
The doctors declined to give out
a statement regarding the nature
of Mrs. Davis’ illness. A report
that she was suffering of acute
indigestion was denied and no
further information could be
obtained.
First and Second Class-
Can you imagine any boy feel
ing willing to be considered a sec
ond-class man? says Success. Any
boy ready to say ‘T don’t want to
be first class and get the good jobs
and the high pay. Second-class
jobs are good enough for me.”
Such a boy would be regarded as
lacking in good se .se. Yet many
a bov gets to be a second-class boy
by not trying to be a first-class
worker. Second class workers are
a drag on the market all the time:
not so the first-class workers.
Second-class things are seldom
wanted. “Culls” and “seconds”
are cheap and give poor satisf ic
tion at that. You wear first-class
clothes if you can pay for them,
eat first-clas.: bread, first-class meat,
first-class butter, if you can buy
them, and if you can not you wish
you could. So it is with workers
in every line; second-class men are
no more wanted than second-class
commodities. They are only used
when first-class cannot be gotten
or are too high priced. For the
work that really amounts to some
thing first-class men are always
wanted.
We hope every boy and girl as
they start into school this year goes
into it with the idea of makinghim
or herself ready to do first-class
work.
Tunnel Still on Fire-
Bristol, Tenn., Sept. 24. —The
fire which started in the Craigen
tunnel, on the Cliucn Yalley divis
ion of the Norfolk and Western
railway a month ago, is, according
to latest reports, still burning un
abated, despite the determined
efforts of a large force of men to
extinguish it. The tunnel is a
thousand feet in length and con
tains two veins of coal. This coal
is on fire. After working for days
in the face of dense volumes of
black smoke, the ends of the tun
nel have been stopped up and an
effort is being made to so com
pletely flood the tunnel as to drown
out the fire. One life has been
lost during the hazardous work of
battling with inaccessible flames.
It is now reported that it may
be five or six weeks before any
thing definite can be determined
as to whether the tunnel will ever
again be fit for use. The question
of building around the mountain
and permanently abandoning the
tunnel is being discussed. It is
said that the change to a line
around the mountain would cost
the company not less than half a
million dollars. Pending the ex
tinguishing of the fire, the freight
traffic of that division of the road
is being routed through Bristol via
the Yirginia and Southwestern
railway. 1

YELLOW FEVtR SPREADING
hive Fatalities Since Yesterday. It
Is Increasing at Laredo. Texas.
Laredo, Tex., Sept. 25 —The
yellow fever both in this city and
Neuvo Laredo, Mexico, is on the
increase.
Reports from Neuvo Laredo are
to the effect that there have been
five deaths since yesterday and
many new cases are reported. Tv\o
hundied cases of illness are said to
exist theie but the majority of
them are pronounced by the phy
sicians to he dengue fever and not
Yellow Jack. Among the stricken
in Neuvo Laredo is the American
vice-consul, J. F. Kimb 11. His
case has not been pronounced upon
by the yellow fever expert yet.
Both the men who were reported
suffering with yellow fever died
today. They were Frank Gilker
son, a machinist in the employ of
the Mexican National railroad
shops here, and a Mexican boiler
maker named Jose Cortina. Several
cases are under surveillance of the
physicians here as they have been
pronounced suspicious, but as yet
no more cases have developed
which have been decided upon as
yellow fever.
The United States hospital
marine service yellow fever expert,
Dr. Guiterras. in company with
George R Tabor, the chief state
health officer arrived here today.
Immediately after arriving the
above named experts, in company
with Drs. McKnight and Hamilton,
respectively, and the state federal
health representatives performed
an autopsy on the body of F'rank
Gilkerson and all the physicians
concur in the opinion that the case
was one type of yellow fever. This
city has now been quarantined
against from all directions.
Towns along the line of the
Texas Midland railway established
a quarantine some time ago.
FTarly today Neuvo Laredo quaran
tined against this city, notwith
standing yellow fever exists there,
and shortly after San Antonio
established a rigid quarantine.
Many of tne people w T ho had not
left the city at the first sit?u of the
fever left today, their objective
point being Salimo, Mex., and
points south of there in the moun
tains and the north part of Texas.
If the state of Texas puts on a
quarantine this city will be isolated
from the outside world.

WILL COTTON GO TO 14 CTS?
Macon Man Says Staple Will Be
That Price.
A Macon gentleman who is in
close touch with every cotton mill
in eight of the southern states, says
by June Ist of next year cotton will
b.- biiuging 14 cents per pound.
The reason for this statement is
that the mills have suspended
operation as much as they can
afford, and in order to earn divi
dends and keep off creditors tney
must lose no more time. There
fore, they will not remain in a
date of idleness any longer.
In the next place, the mills have
been compelled on account of the
big demand for cotton fabrics to
let the price of them go up, and
consequently as the manufactured
article increases in price, the r; w
cotton will advance in price. The
idea was all along that the prices
of cotton goods must be kept down,
or the price of cotton wou’d g< t
clear out of reach if the rav aid
finished products were turned loose
and allowed to go into the market
unchecked.
It was thought something would
eventually occur to settle conditions
and allow the market to resume
what has all along been considered
a normal condition, but the con
trary tide has become too great,
and the world's demand is so
powerful as to force back the people
who have been trying to stem it.
In addition to the position a:-
sumed by the manufacturer, it is
claimed that the boll weevil and
the rust and other enemies of the
cotton have been doing a great
deal in the past ten days, since the
government estimated, lessen the
prospects for a good crop.

The Manhattan Education Board
Alarmed at Future Prospect
New York, Sept. 24.—There is
1 consternation among the board of
Education over the assertion in a
’ report of Commissioner of Educa
tion Haupt that the average rate
of increase in the number of babies
in Manhattan has grown from 5 to
11 an hour to 0112 baby about every
five minutes,
These figures were furnished by
Dr. Haupt as the result of an in
vestigation which the board of
education is carrying on to find
out what preparation it must make
to provide room which the babies
of the present will need as the
pupils of a few years hence.
Dr. Haupt also states that he
finds that the death rate for chil
dren is falling from one-third to
one-fourth, owing to measures for
protecting babies from impure
milk and unsanitary arrangements
He believes chat in the main the
increase is caused by the tremen
dous immigration in New York
City.
Dr. Haupt asserts that babies
are born at the rate of one every
four minutes in the neighborhood
of Houston street and about one a
month in the Murry Hill residence
section. These two quarters are
the extremes of the social divisions.

The poet's exclamation: “O Life!
I feel thee bounding in my .veins,” is
a joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be well and strong—to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary di ties
of the day, and to retire not over
come by them—to feel life bounding
in the veins. A medicine that has
male thousands of people, men and
women, well aud strong, lias accom
plished a great work, bestowing the
richest blessings, and that medicine
is Hood’s Sarsapar.ila. The weak,
