desire to increase the

If your reports fall short of this number you may know that you are not receiving complete returns and you should ferret out those who fail to comply with the law and compel them to do their duty.. In this connection your attention is called to sections 10 and 14 of an act passed Feb. 19, 1891. entitled. "An act to establish a State Board of Health," etc.. Yours Truly,

Ohloroformers Again at Work. Iho chloroformers are getting in their work again. Last Saturday night they visited the homo of Elmer Marsh on north Washington street. About twelve o'clock Mrs. Marsh was awakened by a slight noise in the hall and in a few moments was horrified to inhale a strong odor of chloroform. Awakening binsleeping husband they began a search of the house. In the hall they found a bunch of cotton the size of a hen egg, thoroughly saturated with the deadly drug, which had been thrown through the transonic over the door. It was fortunate the lady was awake at the time as the consequences would have been very serious. This is the second attempt within the past two weeks and yet there is not the slightest clue to the miscreants or their designs.

SUIlRKN'OKKKn THK CASH. Dm. Rio, Tex., Sept. rt.—Telegraphic news from Samuels, Tex., a small station on the Southern Pacific railway, located in a thinly-settled section of this county about 40 miles from this place, gives a thrilling account of a daring train robber}' committed luymounted men at that place shortly after midnight Tuesday night. Dynamite and Winchesters were used as a means of intimidating the express messenger and gaining entrance to his car. All the money and valuables in the safe in the express car were secured by the robbers, as well as several sacks of mail and a registered package from the mail car. The amount of money obtained cannot be learned, but it is said it will reach into the tens of thousands. The train was just pulling out from the station when six masked men, who had selected their positions, simultaneously mounted the engine, mail car and express car, two men for each of these positions. Over forty shots were fired, literally perforating the baggage and express car without in jury to anyone. Then an unexpected mode of procedure was adopted— thijt of exploding a dynamite cartridge against a small window in the express ear. The effect of this was to tear the window out and otherwise damage the car. The express messenger was stunned, but recovered in a few moments only to be overpowered by the robbers and made to give up his safe key. The train was delayed several hours. The robbers took tlmir time in doing the job and with the utmost coolness and exhibition of nerve. llorsss were, in readiness for them and on completion of their work the bandits rode rapidly away, and are now in Mexico beyond the reach of the authorities. The sheriff of this city was telegraphed to secure a posse and give pursuit. A reward of $250 per capita is offered for the capture of the robbers.
DBNViiH, Col., Sept. 8.—It is now stated that the Rio Grande train robbers secured $12,000 from the express car instead of §3,600 as reported. All telegraph wires between Contapaxi and Pueblo have been cut, it is supposed by the robbers, who expect to gain time by this move. As soon as the blood hounds were taken to the place of the robbery Tuesday they atr uck the trail, and when last heard of wore going toward Wet mountain.
