for the coming season:
MUSICAL.
Rockband Concert Company, con.
sisting of instrumentalists and vocal

pany is their wonderful productions

LECTURERS.
Hon. Geo. R. Vending, of Illinois;
Wallace X. Bruce
Leland, the famous lecturer.
Mr.. Leland delivered one of his lee.

visited A krOn for years.
This array of talent will afford to
our citizens rare opportunity of list

BOLD BURGLARIEs.

Three Houses Entered and'RObbed
in Our City Last NiGnG-Ensranee
Made by q window I'm Each Case.
Last night three houses in this city were
broken into and burglArized Of various
sums Of money and other articles. The
person who probably was the greatest
Ioosers was Mr.. joe Hitherington. resId-
ing at u Sylvan street. The burglars en-
tered through the window, first cutting
the shutters to get at the latch in order to
raise the window, which they entered.
They took g gold watch valued at 800
from his vest and about 81 IN money from
his poeketbook. Both pants and vest
were lying on . chair by the bed. Mir.
Hitheripgton knew nothing what time of
night the robbery was committed and it
was MORNING before the theft was dis
covered.
The next place robbed was the residence
of James Williams, mail sgant on the OF
tawa branch, living on Eighth avenue be-
tween Cottonwood and Exchange streets
The burglars entered by the window and
carried of bis pants and vest and with them
some 81 in money and the mall key
This last is g serious loss, as the mail keys
are all made alike and 1t all the mail
pouches In the United States. The num-
ber Of this key was SO, 400, Mrs. Williams
was awake at the time the burglars entered
the house, having been up with sick
child. She saw what seemed to be shad-
ow pass the bed, and thinking one of her
boys was out OF bed and in the room,
called the attention OF her husband to the
fact. He told her there was no one in
the room; that she was nervous on &C
count of loosing so much sleep. This
morning he thought otherwise. A laugh
able incident in connection with the sf-
fair was the fact that Mr.. Williams had to
borrow q pair Of pAntaloons from q rela-
live before he could leave home TO attend
to his duties, he having grown so hesby
lately that most of his clothing will not ii
Kim.
Only q few houses away from Mr.. WAL
liams resides Mr.. Jones Miller, who works
for Harvey g Porterield, bakers. In this
case, as in the others, the burglars en-
tered through the window, but succeeded
in getting only 81 so.
No clue has yet been discovered as to
the perpetrators of the burglaries, but 1t is
evident that the same parties had g. hand
In each case. The police are active in
their eudeavors to discover the burglars.
Probably 1t would be good idea tor
our citizens to keep revolver at hands al
night, and, in case of these midnight mar
auders being discovered, treat them to 6
doze of cold lead. If one burglar can be
winged by some resolute citizen sudden
stop will be put to the business and more
than likely all may be arrested. No more
mercy should be shown burglar than {
murderer, rs in case Of discovery an at
tempt at murder in order to escapeis gen
orally the result.

few days ago one of EmporiA's cIlI-
zens, who was visiting in Illinois had his
attention called by his little boy to the
fact that the word saloon" figured over
great number of places of business.
While walking the street the child had
been spelling over the names on the signs
as they were passed, and, turning to his
father, said: "Pa, what does s-a-l-o C-n
meanr The question was overheard by
couple of strangers, walking behind the
Emponans, one of whom immediately
said: an bet a dollar that child is from
Kansas, or he would know what saloon
Is" and to settle the bet the question wa
asked and announced with affirmative.
