THE DALTON QANG

Attempt to Rob a Bank at Coffeyvllle, Maness, Wednesday Morning. The notorious Dalton gang of highway robbers, murderers and general desperadoes was virtually wiped out Wednesday, but not until four citizens of Coffeyvllie, Kan., yielded up their lives In the work of extermination. Six of the gang rode Into the town and robbed the two banks of the place. Their raid had become known to the officers of the law. and when the outlaws attempted to escape they were attacked by the marshal’s posse. In the battle which followed four of the desperadoes were killed outright, and one was so badly wounded that he has since died. The other escaped, but Is being hotly pursued. Of the attacking party four wer« killed, one was fatally and two wero seriously wounded. There Were five boys and three girls in the Daltop faially. Of the boys two are engaged in farming—one in Oklahoma where the mother of the family lives, and one near Coffeyville, where three of the brothers met their death. Tho Daltons were second cousins of the noted James boys, the f&inons Missouri outlaws, and through them were related to tho Youngers, who are now serving life terms of imprisonment in the penitentiary in Mfnnessota. Bob Dalton was the first of the boys to enter on a career of crime, while he was scarcely more than a boy lie became a cattle thief and did a thriving buslness.drivlng off cattle from Cherokee Strip herds and taking them across tho Indian Territory into Colorado, where ho woufiTsell them. He was joined soon after he entered the business by his brother, Grant Dalton. Their depredations become so frequent and troublesome that the cattlemen organized to drive them from the Strip. A posse of cowboys was formed for that purpose and gape the Daltons a hard chase, finally losing them In New Mexico, The next heard of the Daltons was In California, whero they took to train and stage robbery. While robbing stages there, one of the passengers was killed in the attack. This spurred on the extraordinary efforts to effect tho capture of the gang, and Grant Dalton was finally captured. While being taken to a place for safe keening be was rescued by the other members of the gang, the whole party finally escaping, after being chased in California and through a good part of Arizona.

JAMES H. RICE DEAD. A Well-Known Indlantan Passes Away. James H. Rice died at the Grand Hotel, Indianapolis, at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning For several days his condition appeared to improve, but Tuesday afternoon he began to sink and became grad* ually worse until death came. Mr. Rice had not been In good health for a year or more. He had long been afflicted with

JAMES H. RICE.

asthma, which about eight weeks ago assumed an aggravated form. From this attack, however, he appeared to rally and java marked evidence of Improvement until he contracted pneumonia, which< despite the best professional treatment and nursing, resulted In a persistent decline of his energies and finally caused his death.

James H. Bice was a native Indlanlan, born in New Albany In 1843. He served In the army, was afterward a merchant, a member of the Legislature, Deputy State Treasurer, and Auditor of State for two terms. After his retirement from the office of Auditor of State in 1887 ho devoted himself to his private business, which was extensive. Ills time was divided between the Grand Hotel in this cltv and the Fifth avenue Hotel in New York. He was perhaps better known in New York than any other Indiana man in civil life. In politics Mr. Rice was always a Domocrat. His advice was sought on all occasions by the party managers in Indiana, and his opinions counted for a great deal in the counsels of tbe National Democratic committee. For several campaigns he was at the head of the Democratic State Committee In Indiana, and the Republicans have for years credited him with being the shrewdest politician the Democrats had in this State. Mr. Rice never married.

THE SHERIFF RESTRAINED.

Judge Teylor Stop# the Officers From Levying on Railway Property.

At 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Jndgo Taylor, of the Marion County Superior Court, granted the restraining order prayed for by the Union Railway Company at cision the Coart said that ha granted the Injunction because H seemed to him plain that the assessment of the Union Railway Company for taxation by the State Board of Tax Commissioners is Illegal. It is illegal, he said, because tho Union Railway Company Is not a concern operated for profit. It was not understood from the decision of the Court that the reasons given for issuing the restraining order In behalf of the Union Railway Company would bo applicable to other railway companies which are operated for profit. The Union Railway Company’! tracks are assessed at 11,500,000 a mile, and the plea of the company'* officer’s before the tax commission was that the property should not be taxed high, as It Is operated for the convenience of the public rather than the profit of the railroad.

A CRUEL LOVE CHARM.

The Story of Twd German Girls Who Were in Love. Cincinnati Commercial. Two young girls were cited before the local Bezirksgericht, at Ottakring, a few days ago. on the charge of cruelty to animals. They were both scarcely sixteen years old, yet each had her lover. In order to secure the affections of these young men to them until the end of their days, the girls resolved to carry out a love charm which is guaranteed to be effectual for .that purpose by a “Zauber und Wunchbuchlein,” priuted as long ago as 1707, and still regarded as an infallible helper. Ti e “prescription," which is m old German rhyme, and probably a great deal older than 1706, runs as follows, roughly translated: Would’st tSou have thy sweetheart true? Give him cat's eyes i' his wine.. Thou thyself ntust pluck the eyes out: Twelve weeks old must the cat be. At midnight, by light of the full moon, Thou must burn the eyes to a powder; Put the dust into bis wine ana say, • kat’s eyes, oat’s eyes, never look With lovs at another; : Keep thine eyes ever for me alone!” Do this and Be will te eternally true. _j In order to carry out this hideous superstition, the young girls took two kittens belonging to a Frau Helm, dug out the eyes of the poor little and then prepared their love ponder.

Moths, and dragon flies are favorite forms for brooches, either made -in gold filigree, with jewels for the colored spots on the wings, or with jewelled bodies and delicate translucent enamel wings, exquisitely veined and tinted.

PRINCESS OF WALES.

The number of women who deserve to be branded as “souvenir cranks" is-untold. They are usually individuals with more time to use than taste to use it well, and more money to spend than judgement to spend it discretely. And though time and money are scarce to a good many people, they are still more frequently met than tastes and judgement. Consequently the name of the souvenir fiend is legion. In her most frequent form she collects spoons, bearing on their handles such dainty and appropriate devices as monuments, halls or legislature, birthplaces of poets, cathedrals and bridges. The bowls are engraved with names in heavy lettering that scrapes the mouth of the tea-sipping guest, or else with heads of famous divines, novelists and patriots, which somehow gives one the feeling of a caunibal every time one raises the spoon to his lips. All these spoons mean nothing to the collector. She has not prowled about the crooked streets of Salem and learned to love them, although a witch adorns the handle of the spoon which stirs her afternoon tea. Perhaps she has stopped over a train or two to ride through the city, or perhaps she ordered the spoon from her New York silversmith, but as for its being a souvenir, she never thinks any more of Salem when she handles that witch-ridden bit of silver than she does of Egypt. Still she has a collection of souvenir spoons.

H There was a little scene in a Mad ison avenue horse-car the other day that would have made a picture after Du Maurier’s heart. A young girl inclining to plumpness got in and greeted with effusiveness a widow concerning whose figure roly poly seemed the only applicable adjective. The widow glanced at her young friend aDd said politely: “Why, Marie, how well you are looking I The mountains must have agreed with you. You are as plump as a partridge. ” To which Marie tactfully replied in tones of horror: “Oh, don’t tell me that! It there’s anything I dread becoming its a fat woman. After a few minutes’ silent and salutary reflection Marie remembered a neglected errand and got off the car. AN EMPIRE GOWN. The illustration depicts an empire gown in embroidered batiste, made up over a sky-blue glass taffeta, the batiste being of a lighter shade. The guipure collarette aud cuffs are in salt gray. You will note how the pleating is done at the front; at the back there is a wetteau in gaufred pleating. The sleeves are also in gaufred pleating. The ribbon used is in a light green velvet. Some of the combinations of mauve and cream are delightful. For in-

stance, an equisite cream muslin printed with mauve sprigs of flowers is set off by a deep sash of mauve and cream ribbon. The front of the corsage has a fichu of lace brought down under the sash and the bottom of the skirt is garnitured with two tiny flounces, lace embroidered. The individuals who delight in playing mild and harmless jokes upon the public have a new device. Some enterprising inventor has made a pin, a piece of white wood representing with great accuracy an almost smoked out cigarette.
