paper published in Kansas would suggest
to these very intelligent and funny people
that if they are not afraid of being run over
by buffaloes, scalped by Indians or kicked by
grasshoppers, that they venture out to zen

however be very safe for that kind to come,
for they might be struck blind by our electric
light, run over by our street cars, and tram
pied under foot by our rushing enterprising
people. They that come to Kansas must run

Yesterday morning the store OF A. Katz,
corner of Douglas avenue and Market street,
was entered and some clothing carried way.
The robbery is supposed to have been COM
mitted in the morning about O'Clock, as the
police had passed shortly before that time
and noticed everything to be all rightwithin
The thieves effected an entrance by prying
off the iron Stats over the west rear window
and removing pane Of glass.
Officer Mcnamara was informed shortly
after the discovery Of the robbery that SIX or
seven new suits lad been carried away.
They weres however, the best OF the haul,
they having left the poorer suits lying IN the
alley in the rear of the store building. The
loss was about 800.
Yesterday afternoon two lads called at the
| second hand store on North Main street and
offered for sale two suits Of clothes and an
extra pair of pants. The proprietor OF the
store suspected that all was not correct ana
told his callers to return about O'Clock In
the evening and he would talk business to
them. That temporarily disposed of the
subject and before the appointed time ne In
formed Tom Mcnamara and it was agreed
that the officer should be in the nelghoor-
hood of his store when it was expected thai
the traders would return.
Promptly at the appointed time the two
fellows entered the store by the back way
and after they had opened their valise and
had talked moment about the rare quality
of the goods, the officer stepped from behind
a door and commanded both to hold up theil
hands. They did so, and after being search
ed were hustled off to the calaboose.
Fred Lewison, clerk at Katz's store, wa'
shown the goods last night and he said they
were similar to those that had been stolen

and thumb screws, the gibbets and
flames, and all the lingering, painful
methods OF torture invented by in
genuity and inspired by viudictiveness
have sought 70 wrest Remuneration Of
religious convictions from their victims.
The white lips, quivering with agony
unspeakable, refused to ut er the words
that would end their snffenngs. In
vain those who inflicted the torture told
the sufferers they were not suffering for
religion but heresy; but what was
heresy to the priest has often been the
religious conviction Of those whom
they tortured.
This intense religious zeal has happily
slumbered for many years because OF
that feast of religious liberty that the
nations have enjoyed. But let US not
think because il has ST. mbere it is
dead. 1t is still in the human heart,
and the smoldering embers need but a
little tanning and they will blaze up
