BURGLARY.
A Residence Entered and Plum
dered by Robbers.
Sam Goldberg of the st. Louis
Clothing House One of
The Victims.

Burglars entered Mrs. Martins boarding
house at the corner of Third and Washing
ton, last night, and after chloroforming
several of the inmates, decamped with a
considerable amount of booty. 1t is supposed
that they entered the house through
q second story back window, and by some
means unlocked the door and gained adj
mission to the room occupied by Sam Gold
berg, wife and child, SO quietly that they
were not awakened. Mr.. Goldberg IS
clothes were lying across chair and con-
tanned gold watch and soma money,
while valuable set of diamonds belong.
ing 10 Mrs. Goldberg were lying carelessly
upon a table. The burglars, however,
passed them by and contented themselves
with riAing trunk of S34.25, belonging to
Mrs. Goldberg. The robbers then passed
down stairs, and after searching through a
couple of rooms, leaving everything in the
greatest confusion, they entered MIR.
Martins room and proceeded to go through
his clothes. 1t is supposed that they were
alarmed by something at this juncture and
fed out of the house through the front door
carrying Martins pants with them. They
relieved them of fine gold watch and a
good sized roll of cash and throwing the
garment acress bush in the yard made
themselves scarce. The Goldbergs and Mr..
Martin complained of feeling sick this
morning and the effects of chloroform are
plainly noticeable. No clue to the robbers
has yet been found but the officers have the
matter in hand,

The o. 6. 7. of Missouri.

Justice Fisher returned from St. LOUIS
this morning where he has been attending
the annual meeting of the grand lodge of
Good Templars.
In regard to the report that the order
has lost largely in membership the past
year he says:
ave have lost some, but not near as
many as reported. True, our
secretary's report showed a serious
loss, but that was caused by so
many lodges being suspended for non pay
ment of dues. This caused an apparent
loss of membership and the dues not being
paid caused the reported deficit in finance.
The suspended lodges, however, began to
come In with their dues before the lodge
adjourned and in a short time ali will be
restored to the rolls and The order booming
again. The unpaid debts were provided
for and really the order was never in bet
ter shape than it is at the present time.

A DIVORCE WANTED.
Mrs. Ledbetter Wants Her
Husband Eliminated from
Her Family Circle.

Mrs Jennie Ledbetter, by her attorneys
Sangree K Lamm filed a complaint In the
circuit court this morning against her
husband, Isaac Ledbetter. She charges that
she and the defendant were married
December IL, 1884, and that she was in all
respects a dutiful wife and ministered to
mis- comfort in every manner possible.
He had assured her prior to
their marriage that their honey
moon should shine perpetually, but in
about two months after marriage he took
all of the shine out of the said moon by
decamping leaving her destitute and de-
pendent on her own labor for a livelihood.
Since that time the defendant has without
cause, absented himself and at present his
whereabouts is unknown. For this reason
she asks that the court remove the defend
ant from his position IS the head of the
family, and wipe out the rest OF the family
by giving back 10 her her maiden name,
Jennie Mcconnell. No children were born
to them and it is very likely that when
Isaac comes back to look for his family he
will find that he is all there is of it.

A MYSTERY.
1 Bundle of Female Wearing
Apparel Found on the
Bank of Sicher'S
Lake.

A silk and a worsted dress with a
hat and a number of articles of female
wearing apparel were discovered on
the vacant premises at the corner OF
Third and Moniteau last Friday even
ing by party of carpenters employed
on an adjoining lot owned by Mr..
Hoffman. The silk dress was in a
closet, the worsted dress in a shed
and the other articles scattered around
generally. They appeared to be
nearly new and quite valuable. The
matter was reported to the officers,
but so late that they did not 90 to
see about it until the next
morning. The clothes had
been taken away and a WORKOUT skirt
and dress left in their stead. Later
on Saturday a report came to head
quarters that a bundle of women's
clothes had been found on the bank of
the lake in Sicher's park that morning
by party of wormen going to their
daily labor. The bundle contained
shoes, stockings, undertaking, hat,
dress and skirts. They looked over
the lake to see if the owner had not
plunged in to take swim. They saw
nobody there. The lake looked as
still still and calm as if is waters had
never been disturbed, and after discus
sing the matter they concluded that
the owner of the clothes was at the bot
tom of the pond. They left the clothes
and after sending word to the police
went on to their work Cd the M. X.
d L. railroad.
When the officers arrived the
clothes were gone. The description
of the clother tallies exactly with that
of the ones discovered at Third and
Moniteau.
The only solution to the mystery
offered so far is that some woman had
found the clothes and donned them,
leaving her old ones and concluding
to take a plunge in the lake had dis
robed for that purpose. When the
workmen came along she hid in the
bushes near the brink of the water
until they left when she finished her
swim, dressed; and left. The affair
caused considerable of a sensation, as
it was at first supposed that there had
been a robbery and a suicide.

A Summer Vacation.

At this time of year nearly every one
begins TO think of a summer vacation, or
an outing of some kind for a little recrea-
ton. For those who desire TO visit the
summer resorts of the East, Niagara Falls,
the White Mountains, Old Point Comfort,
and numbers OF others, there Is no line
which offers better facilities or lower rates
than the Burlington Route. III the trip is
to be by way of Chicago, the Hannibal &
81. Jossph's fast vestibule train, eli" has
no peer leaving Kansas City in the even
ing the traveller takes supper and breakfast
on the dining car, arriving in Chicago In
time for all connections east. III he desires
to go by the way Of ST. Louis, he leaves
Kansas City after supper and arrives in
st. Louis for an early breakfast and east
ern connections. Both of these trains are
luxurious in every respect and equipped
with Pullman Palace sleeping cars and
free reclining chair cars.
For short trip there is probably no
more delightful summer resort than
Spirit Lake, Ia, or one of the other count
less lakes in northern Iowa and Mime
sofa. Here again the traveller finds
cannot do better than take the morning
train Of the h. G.. St. j d &. b. X r,
leaving Kansas City at lib a. m. and ar
irving in St Paul and Minneapolis the
next morning for breakfast. From these
points he can make direct connections for
ummer resorts in all directions. This
srain has one of Pullman's fiLest buffet
tleeping cars through between Kansas City
and st. Paul. This also is the train to
take for Spirit Lake, but one change be-
ing made, and that early In the evening
into through sleeper to the Lake, arriv-
ing at destination at 7:15 in the morning.
The above trains run daily.

THE NEW FEE BILL.
The Sheriff'S Office Made Much
Better While the Circuit
Clerk Suffers a Severe
Cut by the New
Law.

Copies of the new fee bill which
takes effect November 1st, have been
received By the county officials and
they weresengaged to-day in deep
study OF the problem therein contained.
All of them are pleased except the
clerk of the circuit court who finds
that his salary will be reduced largely.
The new law gives him 5 cents for
docketing a case while it gives JUS
tice of the peace sl.00 for the same
work. Transcript work heretofore a
big as well as the most profitable work
in the office is reduced to
10 cents per 100 words. The former
price was ID cents. Other classes OF
work suffer- considerable reduction
but the cut is not so deep.
The sheriff is allowed mileage Of 3
cents per mile for all distance travelled
over five miles from the court house.
Under the old law he got no mileage.
He is also allowed 81 per day for him.
self and 50 per day for two deputies to
hold court. Under the old law he was
allowed 81 per day for himself but
nothing for deputies. He was COM
PEELED to pay the deputies out of his
own pocket not less than $500
per year. All of his other fees
remain the same, but these two items
make the office worth a thousand d
year more than it was under the old
law. The clerk suffers a loss quite
equal TO the gain of the sheriff.

A HEAD ENDER.
An Expensive Wreck OH the
Missouri Pacific This
Morning.

A disastrous head end collision occurred
on the Missouri Pacific near Holden this
morning. The engines on both trains
were derailen and badly damaged and four
cars on one aud six on the other were de-
molished. The engineers and train men
all jumped in time to escape injury. Both
trains were freights loaded with dead
freight One was drawn by Rome Mogul
95S in charge of Engineer j. Labourn and
Conductor Frank Mounts, and the other
by an engine of the same make and
weight, No. $40. Engineer Phil.
Shearer and Conductor James
Lamont. The cause was the failure OF the
operator at Holden to turn the order board
for the east bound train to stop for orders,
consequently the train dashed by the sta
ton. The wrecking car and a strong
force of wreckers were despatched from
here 10 the scene as quickly as possible,
but the obstruction proved to be so great
that all trains, TIE Independence and
Sedalia section, were delayed several hours.
A special train of Is coaches, heavily
loaded, was just ready to leave the Kansas
City depot for the great lot sale at the
Electric Springs at Warrensburg, when the
news of the wreck was received. Or course
the main line being blocked, the trains
could not go by that route, and an effort
was made to send it to Sedalia via the
Lexington branch and thence TO Warrens-
burg, but that being found imprac icable
the train was backed TO the depot and the
passengers unloade1. The train will be
sent out tomorrow.
Two train loads from Kansas City en-
route for the Chautauqua meeting at Pertle
Springs were brought over the Lexington
branch to this place. They arrived at 3
o'clock and departed at $50 this after
noon.

that c. NJ. Lane, who recently figured in a
criminal assault case in Oklahoma, and
was formerly connected with the Democrat

were taking him to Wichita for trial by
sprineing from a moving train, although

The best medical writers els

The best medlcal writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal c.
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of ap.
plication, and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and ul-
cerated surfaces. The history OF the ef-
forts to treat catarrh during the past few
years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these condi-
tions, aud that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.
