BAD BURGLARS.

George W. Knorr's grocery store. corner
Of Dougla. and Fourth avenues, was enter
ed by burglars night before last or early
yesterday morning and about SIS in money
and some papers carried of. There are two
doors on the Fourth avenue side of tie
store, the one next the rear beirg an old
fashioned panel door, made of inch pine,
which was the one selected for the entrance.
The burglars evidently had all the prelimin-
aries arranged the previous day and at the
most favorable time during the absence of
the policeman from that part of his beat,
one OF the lower panels was cut out and an
entrance effected. One Of the thieves slip
ped through the hole and opened the other
door from the inside. This door was fast
ened By ali iron bar across the entire door.
There are two small store rooms at the rear
of the main store, but once inside it was all
clear sailing into the store. The safe stands
near a window at the east side Of the store
and to this the burglars went. They bored
two holes in the door, and filed them
with powder. Then they placed q coil OF
fuse in crock by the safe with one end in
the hole. They then placed an old Goa,
over the door to deaden the sound. The
old coat was badly burned. About three
feet of fuse was found in the crock and
around the room was found can contain.

ing was done and other trophies of thu
burglary. The door was thrown open ant

In this till was S35 belonging to another
party and about $40 Mr. Knorr's money ant
some insurance and other papers. Nothing

MARKETS, CROPS. RAILROADS

Since the rain corn is beginning TO come
in lively One of our mill men said yester-
day that there was lots of old corn in the
county. Anticipating a short crop this year
in view of the drouth, the farmers were
holding their old corn for big prices, but
since the recent copious rain has insured q
good crop this year they are now willing TO
sell at current figures, which in this market
yesterday was &c for yellow and Soc for
white corn. The proprietor of the Zephyr
mills bought ten carloads of corn day before
yesterday. The same authority said the oat
crop is immense. l was out through the
county the other day and was astonished at
the immense stacks of oats::to be seen every
where. We can do nothing in the way of
shipping oats until the Texas crop is ex-
hausted. OF course the south is our market
and until we get southern
road we can do nothing. The Northern road
is good, but the Arkansas Valley road is the
all important line. Kansas City has a
southern rate one cent hundred better
than ours. and even Halsted has a better
rate than we have" Oats are now bringing
Is cents per bushel and the price will prob
ably not be any higher for some time. 1t is
plain that until we have secured direct
southern outlet for our produce, the feeding
stock on our surplus corn and oats will pay
better tkan shIpping il.

DETECTIVES WANTED.

\
The robbery of yesterday demonstrates
the fact that Wichita needs a detective force.
The need is a pressing one and the sooner
the matter is taken in hand the better it
will be for the security of life and property.
The murder known AS the Italian murder
has never been ferreted out nor is there a
prospect that it ever will be, so long time
has expired since its preparation without
clue. Had well organized detective
force been in operation in this city it would
not have been possible for SO shocking q
murder TO have gone UNPUBLISHED. Yet
there has been no steps taken TO trace up
the clues that were discovered at the time
and the consequence is that the murderer
will still continue TO commit his atrocities
in other places. There should be a certain
~ that all depredations should have a
speedy punishment for any offense
they may commit Then life and
property would be at least respected from
fear if not for its sacredness. A number of
business men have expressed themselves on
the necessity of detective force and as
favorable to its being put in operation.
There are professional murderers and
thieves. They must be met by experienced
detectives.

UNFORTUNATELY INSANE.

Ed. Phillips, trustee of Salem township,
arrived in this city Thursday night having
in charge Mrs. Murphy and her four little
children. Mrs. Murphy is insane and his
duty was to bring her before Judge Jewett,
to whom he applied on his arrival. She
was given quarters by Sheriff Fisher and
her children were made as comfort
able as circumstances would allow and
where they are now being taken care of by
a nurse hired for the purpose. Two weeks
ago Murphy, his wife and four children
arrived at Waco en- route west with team
and sheep. At that place the husband rented
house and left his family and proceeded
west to enter on land expecting to return in
one month. A few days ago the wife be-
came distracted and neighbors had to inter-
fere and take charge of her. She had some
considerable money and appears to be a
woman of education and kind to her child
rem but is clearly insane at the present time.
How long she will remain in that condition
is not known, but it is hoped such a mis-
fortune will not last long. Her husband
has been written to and no steps will be TAX
en- until he is heard from. Mr.. Fisher will
do all in his power to have her well taken
care of and to that end has employed a
woman to be constantly with her.
The county officers say that some provi-
sion ought to be made by the county fol
the reception of insane persous pending the
preliminary steps of the trial of lunacy
and the receipt of the commitment. Thai
such Nnfortunates are sent to Jail is clearly
an inhuman action and ought not to be
suffered. This is especially so when women
and children are concerned. Judge Jewet'
and Sheriff Fisher will see that this unfor
tunate family are treated humanely and thai
all their wants are supplied until the hus
band and father returns.

Mrs. Kelly, wife Of Mr.. Kelly of the car
riage repository. was attacked on the street
near DR.. Smiths, on Pine street, and near her
home, night before last, by some bastard or
night prowler. She had just arrived home
on the evening train from Valley Center, and
had left the street-caF at the corner Of Pine
and Topeka, when some one laid one Of his
hands on her shoulder and tried to place the
other over her mouth. 1t was very dark,
and being badly frightened she screamed to
Mr.. Smith, who was not at home, but Mrs.
Smith answered by opening the door, into
which Mrs. Kelly ran. 1t is supposed that
robbery was intended, but she had her
pocket book in her hand and held to IT.

THE CHARGE AGAINST MARiLLA A.
PBA0E.

There is pending in Justice Thoma' court
q case that from the seriousness ofthe charge
and from the fact that the defendant b an
old lady is destined to be one of the most
important ever tried in the county. In it
present status it rests on the warrant issued
on grounds of the verdict of the coroner's
inquest, but it waits the preliminary exam
nation to determine whether there are
grounds to believe her guilty Of wilfully and
feloniously causing the death Of her late
husband, A. c. Pease and that such evidence
is sufficient to raise the presumption Of
guilt
At the present time the defendant, Mn
Pease, is living at her city residence
with very little restraint on her actions; in
deed, it would not be known 1t al that she
were a prisoner unless told Of the fact She
appears to be as anxious that everything
pertaining to the sad event that deprived tn,
deceased of his life as anybody, and rest
with apparent consciousness Of her limo
cence. A reporter Of the EAGLE has hAt
frequent interviews with her about the cir
cumstsnces of the death and from every in
dication she appears hopeful Of establishing
her innocence. This che may never do, bu
it is at least doubtful that the state will eve
be able to establish her guilt beyond adoub,
