Any Sigus of Its Coming. Ravages Are Increasing. What Cam Be Done to Stay Its Progress? During the month of January just past the rav- Sges from pneumonia bave been appalling. In the city of New York alone the deaths from the dread recent telegraphic reports we doubt not that the mortality bas been correspondingly large in other perts of the country. For reasons unknown to us, says the New York | Sun in a receut editorial, the mortality from pneu- moula bas risen very greatly in recent times. Up to two years ago the average annual number of oumber was 5,841, and last year 6,476. The med- think, might be able to find some more effective means of dealing with the most deadly of all the maladies with which the city ts afflicted. While | method of treatment people must strive to secure thelr own safety against the disease by avoiding the causes of it, so far as may be possible. If it | ouce gets hold of the system there is danger ip tiling with it. Pneumonia results from exposure, change of weather, prevails more among men than women, more amoug the apparently healthy than among the feeble. We are told the disease is invited by @ certain condition of the system. indlerted by oc- casional chills and fevers, a tendency to colds in the throat and lungs, rheumatic and neuralgic pains, extreme tired feelings, short breath, pleu- ritic stitches in the side, bot and dry skin, loss of strength and vitality. A celebrated New York physician told the: Trib- une that pneumonia was a sacondary disorder, the exposure and cold being simply the agent which | develops the disease, already dormant in the svs- tem, because the kidueys have beeu but partially doing their duty. Tu short, pueumonia ts but an early indication of a Bright's diseased conditioa. This impatred ac- pecting it, because no pain will be felt in the kid- oniy by chemtcal and microscopical examination. ‘The disease is very obstinate, and if the accom- panying Kidney disorder is very far advanced re- covery is impossible, for the kidneys give out ea- | Urely and the patient is literally suTocated by water. ‘The only safeguard against poeumonia ts to main- tain a vigorous condition of the system, and thus prevent fts attheks by using Warrer's Sato Cure, which ts the standard and only known remedy for [effectually restoring full vitality to the kidneys. It does not pretend to cure an atteck of pueu- monia, but it cam and does remove the cause of and prevent that disease if takea in time. It is the part of wisdom to foresee the result of neglect aud to be governed accordingly. CAUTION.—Ii a dealor offers W. 1, gins >) er he has the: W. L. Douctas $3 SHOE =.225i%o. W.

THE DALTONS AND ROGERS’ EXPLOITS as cease Passenger Trains Held Up and Banks Robbed. ae eS Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. COFFEYVILLE, Kan., February 14, 18. When Governor Fishback of Arkansas ap- protection agginst the many bands of bank robbers and thieves that rendezvous in the | Indian territory and commit depredations in the states bordering that natural home ,,|tor bandits and train wreckers, it touched @ responsive chord in the hearts of the peo- ple of southern Kansas, and especially among the eltizens of Coffeyville who wit- nessed the brazen charge by the Dalton gang on this town on that fateful fifth day of October, 1892, While the leaders of that terrible gang were shot down in the streets of Coffeyville, it seems not to have had the desired effect on the numerous bands of outlaws that are coming after them. It was only a few days ago that the tele- graph wires ticked the meager details of a bloody battle between officers and bandits on Big creek, in Indian territory. One out- law was killed instantly, another was mor- tally wounded, and has since died, and two of the most dangerous of the small bands citizens ulong the Kansas border. The banks of Big creek are lined with numerous small farms. Here and there a> large stock ranch has for one of its bor- der lines the unpretentious stream, whose during at least ten months in the year. For more than twenty years the section bas been the home of the organizer and leader of one of the most troublesome and daring gangs of thieves and highwaymen that has ever infested the northern part of the Cherokee nation. The Rogers Place. The farm or “place” of Frank Rogers, father of the boy bandit, is located on Big creek, about twenty-five miles southeast of Coffeyville. The elder Rogers is an adopt- ed member of the Cherokee tribe, his wife being a half-blood Cherokee Indian. The family consists of eleven members. Three of the boys, only one of whom has attained his majority, have achieved fame as dare- devils and thieves. One of these is in a celi charged with highway robbery. The , other two are in the toils of the law and must soon answer for the crime of robbing the mails in the United States court at Fort Smith. ‘The Rogers boys diew round them a set of boon companions, and last year the gang first Charley Wooten, a notorious charac- ter who had drifted into the neighborhood a short time previous, was the recognized jeader, But: Bob Rogers was always the leading spirit, and it was his brain that concocted the schemes of deviltry and his |Berve that held the boys down to their work at the critical moment. Their first raid, outside of horse-stealing excursions in the neighborhood of Big creek, was at Mound Valley, Kan., where they rode into town with cocked revolvers and deliberately robbed the Citizens’ Bank. A determined effort was made to take them by United States deputy marshals, and in the summer Heck Bruner and his posse met the gang west of Vinita, when a desperate fight oc- curred. One of the outlaws was killed and one of the Rogers beys was captured. ter this Charley Wooten dropped out of sight, but it was recently learned that he took $3500, his share of the money secured at Mound City, und went to the Panhandle of Texas, where he has organized another band of outlaws. Among those who labored hard and faith- fully to capture this gang was Deputy United States Marshal Ed. Jackson of this city. He made many excursions into the territory occupied by the outlaws, close onto their heels, but they had so many friends in the locality and were so well acquainted with the roads and bypaths of the country that they managed to elude him. In the meantime, they kept up a system of horse stealing and petty thieving. ® In the latter part of the summer Rogers took one or two of his best men and went | into the northeast corner of the Chero- kee strip, where he joined Bill Dalton and | opening in September, and were with the_ Dalton gang in the fight at Ingalls, where several brave officers fell victims to the bullets of the bandits. It is said that ob | Rogers was the nerviest lad in the fight that he handied his Winchester like a v eran, and was cool and coliected during the entire engagement. It was he who picked | up one of the wounded robbers when «ll | the rest had fled, placed him on a loose | | horse and carried him away in safety. After the bloody affair at Ingalls the | Dalton band took refuge in the Cherokee | ous haunts, in the inaccessible forests that | abound in that region. Here the wounded | | member of the gang, who was no other than “Kiowa,” or Henry Turner, was nursed back into health by his companions and a friendly doctor from an adjoining neighborhood. At this point an even occurred that changed the course and shaped the destiny of three of the men who were with Dalton. The Gang Broken Up. . The Ingalls affair gave the doughty leader | he had ever before entertained, if such an exaggeration was possible, and he began to lord it over his followers. He wanted ail the honors, emoluments and attentions | of a captain of brigands. He gave them to understand that he was a bandit chief, and therefore his commands must be obeyed or | somebody must die. Bob ogers refused to | ride his errands, and “Kiowa” declined to groom Bill's hoi The result was a dis- | ruption. Bob. Rogers, James Turner (Dyna- mite Jack), and Henry Turner (Kiowa) ieft the Daltons without notice and returned | to the old rendezvous on Big creek. | ‘Their advent threw the community into a state of terror, Everybody became fearful | of them. The pfesence of an officer o1 creek was looked upon as a very perijous proceeding, and no one could be induced | | for love or money to entertain a marsnal, and no one cared to be seen talking to one. As a result, the gang remained undisturbed for some time, and they “traded” horses | It was in honor | jn the community until they had the test | STIRRING SCENES IN KANSAS | pealed to President Cleveland for federal | others were arrested, thus breaking up one | that have spread terror to the law-abiding | size is a marked contradiction of its name | startel out with a regular organization.

Ou their return trip they attempted to i up the south-bound passenger train on the Caney Valley Air Line, near Sedan, but failed because the engineer declined to stop on their signal. They passed on cast between Cherryvate and Coffeyville to their rendezvous on Snow creek. Rob Rogers and Bob Steitler went east from Seminole to Snow creek, where Steitler worked for a few weeks and then went to Fort Scott for ja brief visit with his relatives. They robbed a clothing store up there and returned so as to be on Big creek January 6 to join “Dynamite Jack,” Brown and “Kiowa.” About a week efter the Seminole robbery A. J.

Very little was said about the matter because Hob Rogers escaped from the officers soon after the capture. Marshal Smith took Steitler to Fort Scott.

Rogers and his trusted The Gas Investigation. lieutenant, went further To the Editor of The Evening Sta In a trial at law it does not take a epec- tator, who hears the questions of the law- yers, very long to decide who represents the plaintiff and who the defendant. So at \the recent gas investigation it was very plain that the sympathy of several mem- bers of the committee was with the gas company. Here are a few notes: Several witnesses of the people were not allowed to testify for want of time, while many valuable hours were consumed in slowly re-reading the written-out testimony of the gas experts, on the plea that they wanted to correct any errors in their testl- mony. Of course this work of correction could easily have been done privately, but then the effect of the rehearing of such | testimony would have been lost. As the examination proceeded, whenever @ point against the gas company came out it was generally parried by some remark or question on the part of some member of the committee. For instance, when Capt. Powell, a District Commissioner, was on the stand, he was asked: “In your list, captain, I see a number of small cities. You do not wish to compare them with Wash- ington, a city of nearly 300,000?" To this Capt. Powell gave an incautious and not very audible assent. The absurdity of such @ proposition is seen in the case of a num- ber of cities. Take, for instance, Hamilton, Qhio, in’ which the writer's information is at first hands. There private gas is $1, and public lamps, lighted every night in the year, are on! lo a year, against over $21 here for only 3,000 hours. Now, if Hauniiton can light 750 lamps for only $15, and at a sufficient profit to accumulate @ sinking fund for the payment of the cost «f the works, why is not the fact pertinent, very pertinent, here in Washington, where the company has the ‘onage of many times this number of public lamps? The fact is, the larger the public consumption the cheaper the gas should be furnisned. the gas company had male a great point, much cleborated, over our es- phalt streets, and the cost of opening them. Commissicner Powell was asked if he did n but he quietly remarked, gas papes are nearly ali reets and the main laying ali in the country.” So here riy the whole ease of the gas Although the superin- i think s0 too. i. The a Powell, this point was let rely aione. The Teeblencss of the argument of the pus company can"be seen from the fact that a ola gas pipe was dragged m there that in some house on M_ street the house was noc properly piped aad hence had a deficient flow of gas. What have nt facts to do with the big javestigation, namely: Are of Washington paying two And should not the people own the works, just a® they own the watc- works? Then ‘these enormous profits of gas making would not be used up im scrip dividends and ranning big mains miles mio the country, but would go to the consumers and reappear in public improvements c .e ieee contest in New York over the wiil Charles Bathgate Beck, involving $5,000,000 has abruptly ended, it being betieved that a compromise hed been eNected. ered him with their Winchesters, while | Bruner, Smith, Jackson and Ellis made | their way to the open stairway that ted to the room on the second floor.
