A Lady on the Missouri Pacific
Train Has Her Pocket Picked.

There Is not the least doubt but that the
Garrison House depot is a regular rem
devious for pickpockets and thieves at the
arnyal Of every tram. Another case OF
pickpocketing occurred there yesterday
morning in which lady had her poketbook
stolen. The particulars as near As We can
learn are rs follows:
On the arrival of the Pacific train At the
depot lady BY the name of Miss Inman,
Who lives in West Sedslia, got on the
train, and during the rush of passengers,
her pocket was picked. She made COM
plant to officers Smith and Gray of the
occurrence, and told them that when she
was getting on the train she felt some one
pushing her, and she supposed that then
was the time her pocketbook was stolen,
althoughshe did not discover her pocket
book gone until she had taken her seat,
when she felt for her pocketbook and It
was gone. She said it did not contain
much money, but had in It check for her
trunk to California, Mo-, to which place
she Was going, and also some papers, of no
value to anyone but her.
The officer asked her if she could point
eat the man who she thought had taken
the pocketbook. She said she thought she
could, and pointed to . man of rather
fne, and gentlemanly appearance sitting a
lev seats back Of her, on the opposite side
OF the car, - the thief, but could not say
for certain whether he Was the man or not.
The officer told her that If she could not
positively identity the man referred to ~
the one who committed the theft, they
could do little, if anything At ell, to re-
cover her property for her, except to keep
afharp lookout for the thief They notified
the conductor to be on the lookout for the
trunk check, and he promised that he would
do 30 that If the thief presents the check he
will be nabbed and lodged in Jail.
Miss Inman had rather hard luck in
losing her pccketbook, and will, no doubt,
have some little difficulty in getting her
trunk out Of the baggage room at Cali.
tomia. without Q check. The BAzoo hopes
that the miscreant who committed the out.
rage may shortly be captured and made to
pay the penalty of his crime with long
sojourn in the pen.

the best trees robbed of their fruit.
Of course Farmer E had quite a
curiosity to end out Who was in the
habit Of appropriaiing his apples. So
cautiously concealing himself in the
shadow Of the fence. he discovered q
fellow in the act Of filling his bag with
his best fruit. Farmer E. started
for the youth with his gun, but the
fellow took took to his heels and was

HISTORY OF THE WAR IN THE EAST.
The enterprising publishers, H. S. Good
speed & Co., of New York and Cincinnati,
are the first in the field with history of
the late war in the East. They have issued
a handsome volume of nearly seven hun
dred pages, written by Professor
Alexander ]. Schem, Assistant
Superintendent of Public Schools
in New York and writer of twenty years
experience on topics connected with the
Eastern question. The book, though writ
ten in popular style, shows throughout
that its author is thoroughly competent to
deal with his subject 1t gives first his
torical outline of the complicated Eastern
question, that for the last three hundred
years has kept Europe in turmoil. Then
follow sketches of the history and presen
condition of the two great Empires which
have figured as principals in the last strug-
GLE The troubles in the Christian prov
inces OF Turkey, preliminary to the war,
are reviewed at considerable length, and
nothing appears to be omitted that is nee
essary to full understanding of the great
conflict of 1877.
A striking feature of the work is its illus
trations. These are very numerous and are
for the most part executed with great skill.
