ing robbe-ies that has been committed IN
this city for some time.
Mr.. Knight had left his place of bust
ness intending to leave the city by the
Frisco at $40 for ST. Louis to see sick
child. Before going, however, he wished
to attend 70 some pressing matter on
North Topeka, and SO started hurriedly up
the avenue.
Just before crossing Central man
stspped out from some bushes, and coming
up behind him, put a revolver over Mr..
Knights shoulder and demanded his
money, or rather proceeded to go
through his pockets in a thor
ough and expeditions manner.
He received $50, all in bills, seven OF
them being SO bills, and also purse con-
tanning sI3. Mr.. knight saw him throw
away the purse and afterwards made
search for II, finding the purse but no
money.
There was but one man who did the
daring deed, and Mr.. knight thus de-
scribes him: Man Of medium size, fair
complexion, with light muStache, wore a
light suit of clothes and a black sloucn
hat.
The police were last night hot on the
trail of the bold foot pad

The Eagle Treats Itself to q Personal

Pm just five proud years old today;
Today Pm just five proud years old
Years! Odd And the time seems as but
day,
A day, the years that have rolled
With their experience strange, away,
Away, and tinged with hue OF gold.
Passed five useful years today have L
Have 1; useful, though five all told
All toldi Only fivei l count and cry
Scream-as I retrace my fight SO bold,
Flight SO bold, for seldom do Eagles fly
So soon SO high or their wings unfold.
With such great strength I have done
my best
And will be pardoned if feel proud
When l gaze at the scene from my nest
Spreading so fair, and the murmur loud
OF appreciation ascends. My breast
Heaves joyfully and my head is bowed
In thanks that was the chosen one
That my pen was given the pleasing
work
OF melting all that has been done;
That had the courage not TO shirk.
The outlook of my city's bright-none
Brighter. OF that no suspicious lurk.

From the dispatches Of yesterday morn
ing It would seem that the lower Arkansas
valley was not an exception in the great
rain fall, but that nearly the entire state
was visited. Tie rain commenced to fall
IN the northwestern portion of the state on
thursday, in the western central portions
along II the late afternoon and evening,
striking this portion of the valley after
midnight and until late Friday morning.
The rams reached the Indian Territory
and oklahoma about noon. Both the
Great and Little Arkansas rivers are rap
idly increasing in yolumne and by today
the banks of each viii probably be pretty
full The rain fall in Southern Kansas
for the six days ending Friday morning
was very general and heavy.

The capital Of the central pilaster Of one

court will occupy which. While the owl
may be the emblem of wisdom, grave dis
passionate and solemn, We feel compelled
10 warrant the man with a case in the
other court clean-cut exact justice. How
ever, one court room will be known as the
Owl the other as the Eagle, we suppose for

GSpecialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
MARANHAo, Brazil, Dec. 11.-[By cable
to the New York World. II arrived at
st. LUZ de Maranhao to-day, 400 miles
from Para. l found the place in sup
pressed state of excitement. There had
been fighting between the Imperialists and
Republicans Immediately after the de-
thronement of Dom Pedro, and on Novem-
Der IS the excitement grew so great that
the military fired on the people, twenty of
WON were killed. The attempt to create
a revolt was undoubtedly the work Of the
Imperialists and the Portuguese. Maranhao
is naturally inclined to royalism. 1t the
fourth city of the empire and the capital Of
Il rich and important province of the
same name. The population is very well
to do, and the Portuguese feel an interest
in unfolding the royal and imperial sys-
TEN. as they make an important element
in it. A large number of Portuguese colo
nists, too. land here; the Brazilian popu-
lation does not amount to over one third
of the city. At present the city is
quiet so far as concerns actual disturb
ances, but there is still much intriguing
going on, and serious trouble is likely to
occur if the Imperialists and Portuguese
persist in refusing to acknowledge the
altered condition of affairs. From all can
hear there have been innumerable petty at
tempts of the Imperialists to make dis
turbance throughout the province of
Maranhao but nothing serious enough to
place the future of the republic in danger.
The Daily Globe, of Maranhao is defend
ing earnestly the cause of the republic.
Francisco de Paule Quartz Belforte, its
editor, has tried to speak at meetings, but
has been cried down. Most of the rich
men are leaning towards conservatism and
are the hope of the lmperialists. One of
the leaders of these is Baron da Guahy,
member of the late chamber of deputies
and one of the greatest millionaires in
Brazil. He is said to be in consultation
with the conservative leaders in Bahia,
Maranhao and Para where the cause of
Dom Pedro is strongest.
