CLEVER CROOKS.
Clacher &c Hill Lose a Lot of Re-
volvers and Cutlery.

When J. w. Hill, of the firm of
Clacher d Hill, entered his place
of business ON the East Side
Tuesday he found a hole fifteen by
twelve inches cut in the lower
panel of rear door opening on the
alley. Forty seven inch holes had
been bored and with the aid of an
Old butcher knife the piece was
pushed out. Mr.. Hill at once
knew a robbery had been committed
and turned his attention to the
show cases. On the right of the
store, a case in which pocket knives
and revolvers were kept had been
Quilted. About a hundred pocket
knives and half a dozen revolvers
were taken, while from another
show case a number of butcher
knives had been stolen. Several
dollars were lying loose in one of
the show cases but the burglar
didn't touch them. An auger found
on the floor of the store was claim
ed this morning by G. M. Haskell,
it having been stolen from his
shop at the corner of Liberty and
Jefferson streets last night.
Officer Lane arrested two young
men near the old G.. Il A. round
house this morning for the robbery.
They were committed to the City
Hall and gave their names as John
Murphy. and VIM. Sullivan, of
Kansas City, but deny any knowl-
edge of the burglary. The author
tiles released them this after
noon. Mr.. Clacher accompanied
Lane on his search this morning
and while the latter was nabbing
the two men mentioned above he
started after a third. The man
was fleet OF foot, however, and re-
fused to be caught. Though not
as young as he used to be Mr..
Clacher still has a great deal of his
youthful fire within him, and he
started in pursuit. The chase con-
tinued for nearly seven miles when
the fugitive eluded his pursuer in
going owe a ridge near Benton
City.
The rear of Ferris store was un-
locked that night, as was also the
safe and drawer. The Messrs.
Ferris feel sighted, inasmuch as
the robber didn't even leave his
card at thir door.

CONDITION OF THE STREETS.

l have heard frequent complaints
by some OF our manufacturers that
at certain seasons of the year the
condition of several streets is such
that the transportation of fuel and
product from n part of the
city to another is impossi-
BILE. 1t is important that this
difficulty should be overcome. Our
manufacturing enterprises must be
carefully fostered and encouraged,
and no stone should be left unturn-
ed that they may have smooth
sailing. We have a fair prospect
of securing another railroad in the
near future, toffether with other
enterprises of equal Importance.
Let us show to those in charge of
these projects hat while we are
helpless as a city to give them aid,
we welcome them. Go out and
take them by the hand, and when
once among US our peoples will see
to individually that no enterprise
shall fail for want Of encourage
ment. This IS a critical period in
the city's history and firm, decided
action on the part of our citizens is
needed. l believe you are fully
arousedto the importance of a long,
strong pull together.
In conclusion, let me ask you to
work tremendously, having but one
common purpose, the good and ad-
vancement of Mexico. Upon you,
feel impelled to say, our destiny
rests, and with an effort on our part
and a merciful Providence to guide
us, we are bound to succeed.

The act to establish courts for Indians on the various reserva- tions IS now before congress. The act aims at civilizing the Indians by giving them the protection of the law afforded other citizens, allowing them to make contracts, to sue and be sued and to engage in any trade or business. It pro vides for the appointment of court commissioners, to act as judges, and for the appointment of thelr clerks, who shall be Indians by preference, and who shall have the power of justices of the peace. A district attorney, called the Next Friend" will be appointed and may institute suits and prose- cutions on behalf of Indians. This will amuse the Indians very much when they read it in the Enterprise.-Silver City Enter prise.

A Great Tunnel.

There is talk of tunneling under New York. The plan proposed is for a system of double tunnels cut through the solid rock under the East and North rivers and under the city at a depth of sixty feet below the street surface, connect ing the Long Island railroad with the New York Central and Hud- son River railroad, the elevated roads and the railroads coming into Jersey City from the South and West. These tunnels, it is proposed, shall be lighted by electricity, and only electric mo- tive power shall be used in them. while large elevators are to be placed wherever the tunnel crosses the lines of the elevated roads, to transfer passengers to the elevated trains. This system of double tunnels, the engineers of the com pany estimate, can be built and equipped for $1,OOO,OOO a mile, or total cost of from S5,0OO,000 to $6,OO0,000. The projectors of the tunnels, the New York and Long Island Railroad company, 8 new corporation, claim that the tun- nels, being so far underground. can do no possible injury to the streets or to private property upon the surface, and they therefore hope to get the consent of the city and private property owners in time to begin the work of con- struction about the time the aque- duct contractors finish their pres ent contracts.
 It is also proposed to have stor- age chambers opening into the tunnels for the storage and hand ling of freight, and General Roy Stone, the president of the com pany. predicts that in time there will be another New York under ground, where all railroad freights will be transferred, and where goods not injured by dampness will be stored.

full and marries rich has to fight his way. The great west does not so sorely need pretty men with buckskin clothes as it does good citizens who are willing to work, wherever the sun shines the grass grows or water runs, the young man who will give a good days work for a fair days wages will surely be promoted as he deserves it. It may not be funny, but 1t is the never dying truth that indus try, integrity and perseverance are mighty good substitutes for symmetry, genius and hair.-Bill Nye in New York World.

An Interrupted Orator.

As is we'll known, Edwin Rego, the day watchman at the Capitol, has a set speech, which he delivers whenever an eastern visitor enters the rotunda of the building and begins an inspection of the mag ni6cient group of Columbus and Queen Isabella statuary presented by D. o. Mills to the state. Rego's address comprises a recital of what the statue represents; how it came to be made; where it was made; who made it, etc. A few days since an elderly lady, well dressed and of respectable appear ance, walked lelsurely into the building and up to the statue. She deliberately adjusted her. spectacles and began a critical examination of the beautiful work in marble. She was so engaged when Rego appeared, and, after politely saluting the lady, entered upon his descriptive address. The old lady was an attentive and ap- parently interested listener until the orator began reciting a history of the sculptor-Larkin G. Mead. Here he was interrupted by his audience, who said: "Oh, I know all about him. Larkin is my nephew. have seen lots of his work, and I'm just from his old home away down in Varmount now. Land sakes! Who'd a thought that I'd found any of his sculpturing away out here? I re- member the first time he ever made public exhibition of his talent in that line. We had had a big snow-storm in Yarmouth, and and then it turned off kind of warm like. We'll, a lot of boys went to work and rolled up a lot of big snow-balls, many feet in diameter, and piled them upon each other until they were many feet high. Then they put a big square piece of snow on top of al'. After this Larkin climbed away up on the mass of snow and carved out statue of Ethan Allen. It was as life-like as could be, and anybody who had ever seen the picture of the old soldier could tell in 8 minute what the statue was. Well, it kept showing and showing that winter, and every time it would cease Larkin would climb up on the statue and chisel it into shape. The result was that before the winter was over the statue had grown to colossal pro- portions, and people used to travel miles and miles to see it. That's where Larkin's reputation began, and as he was good boy he de- served all the fame he won after ward"
 When Rego again got the floor he thanked the lady for the addi- ton sue had made in his speech,
