Mr.. Smith said the board had Wis
tied the Brockway reformatory at FL

close examination of it and its work
ings. They found that the building
was such i one as would meet the re-
auireuents in this state very nearly,

severe in its discipline. That ii Is

formation about such institutions.

way home and cxamin ed the plans of

inspected the House of Correction At

Mr.. Smith estimates that an in,titu-
ton for Kansas should accommodate

HoNoREo VISITOR.

Judge Samuel r. Peters, our member OF

spent the day among friends and in look
ing around, going south to Anthony and
Harper by last evenings Sunfower Ex-
press. Judge Peters. if he does not already,
will. within a year, represent more people
on the floor of Congress. than any other
member. A conservative and perfectly safe
estimate shows that there have been added
to his district, within year, upwards of
one hundred thousand people. and that he
therefore represents nearly one quarter of a
million of constituents. Within year,
something like fifty new towns have sprung
up in his district, where before, were bare
and uninhabited prairies. Over two dozen
news papers have been established,
the great majority of them not yet year
old. In the mean time towns what were
but villages when he was first elected, many
of them have become cities OF no mean
pretensions, and We who were want to
think that we were occupying the garden

CROOKS coRnRRsp.
Tires Burglars Captured BY the Police
Within the Tremon. House.

Burglars entered the fremont house be-
tween and o'clock Wednesday morning
and commenced their operations OF piliage.
They had Just got down to business and had
captured few pants hanging ever the bed
posts Of some guests when the sleepers were
aroused. They did not give the thing away
but went down on the street and called in
policemen Parks and Mcnamara, who COM
menced to take in the nocturnal thieves. In
the mean time the thieves became alarmed
and one of them ran out Of the house into
the back yard. While an sttche Of The
house followed him into the yard Dan Parks
ran around the alley and the fellow ran
right into his arms. This one captured, they
went in the house to get the Others. Then
it was discovered that they had got up
through the skylight on the roof, and Po-
licHman Parks went up to investigate and
there discovered them partly concealed.
He started TO go down saying that they
were not up there to deceive the thieves,
and waited until the other policemen came
up, when they were pounced upon and
made to hold up. They proved to be two
thieves, and each of them had on revolver.
They had fuse for blowing safes and other
tools, among which was a screw driver.
The three thieves gave their names as Geo.
Washington, Charles Boards, alias George
Brown, and Jim Smith. One of them had
been guest at the house and had registered
as Geo. Brown and again as Chas. Boards.
1t appears that the thieves had
got ready to make a thorough
raid of the house, and had pre-
pared for it by unscrewing number of
locks Of rooms, and had they not been dis
covered would have gone through the
whole hotel. 1t is supposed they had COM
menced their nights work at the house and
would probably have visited a number of
other houses before morning.
They were carried to Jail. and now are as
safe within the county bastile as the expen-
sive hardware Of the county will permit.
The police who made the capture have the
thanks of the entire community, and their
neat work viii be warning to other crooks.
The people of the house of course aided ma
terislly in the capture, but to the police be-
longs the lions share of the credit.

DISTRICT COURT.

In the habeas corpus case of Healy
VS.. Norton, for the custody of small boy,
heard Tuesday by Judge Sluss, it was de-
cided that that the mother had maternal
right that entitled her to the boy, and he
was given over to her. a reporter learns
that soon after the decision the little fellow
broke away from her and went with Mrs.
Norton, for whom he has manifested strong
attachment, and is in her custody.
The court was in session yesterday morn
ing but short time, and little business was
done. Emile Werner was find 81 and costs

stock of hats and bonnets, number of
which are beauties. She has very elabo-
rate stock of beautiful feathers and birds of
all shades for hat trimmings that are very
beautiful. The sugar loaf silk velvet hats,
and COW boy hats with leather trimmings
and buckles, are something new, and are
quite attractive. Miss Cameron's new stock

FINLAY'S FRONT FINISHED

Whey and his artists have about finished
Finlay Ross front. No job OF work in the
town ever called out SO many criticisms pro
and con probably as the painting of that
three-story front and cornice. The building
as it stood in a solid Milwaukee brick color
was very imposing, but when the cornice
was painted in all its variagated colors, peo-
pie shook their heads. Now that it is fin
ished, ,ornice, brick, caps, sills, frames and
sash, we must acknowledge that the work
is harmonious and quite attractive and
really in good taste, although for one We
should have preferred the solid color. AS
it stands no business building will attract
more attention.

sEpow,cK COUNTY IN EUROPE

In the Edinburgh Courant there is dis
cussion going on between an English gen
tleman by the name of TAFT and some Amer
lean gentleman, in which the former takes
the ground that the southern states are the
most desirable. or offer the best induce
ments to emigrants. TAFT dwells particu-
larly on the state of Florida. The other
man dissents and says that TAFT must be
putting his money out on mortgage in
Florida. He then goes on to show how
vastly more the products of several western
states amount TO, than those of Florida.
Then coming down for clincher, he takes
Kansas and then Sedgwick county. Who
ever the writer is, he is well posted. He
says:
Blu; tc reduce the circle of comparison.
if further evidence is needed, let us take one
little county in Kansas, Sedgwick by name,
which wns not organized until 1870, and
which in 1888 had only 2S7, 40 acres of
land in cultivation, to Offset the 3,29l ,324
acres farmed in Florida; and yet, this one
county. which is mere garden spot in
size as compared with Florida, besides pro-
ducing million bushels of wheat in 1889,
harvested twice as much Indian corn, Is
times as much rye, nearly as many potatoes,
and 10 times as many tons Of hay and
millet, its products for the year exceeding
in value by $4,000, the entire products Of
the great state Of Florida, outside of her
cotton crop.
