SHOP LIFTING.

| Shop lifting has become so prevalent of
late that the merchants have been COM
| PEELED to keep a very strict watch on their
| goods and customers. People, one would
suppose above suspicion, have developed a
| kleptomaniac weakness that makes them
a terror to the shop keeper. These little
things the merchants have stood with
patience but when it comes to a regu-
such as pilfered from Munson &
| Mcnamara yesterday forbearance ceases
to be virtue. This firm has
employed detectives to watch the store and
intends to prosecute all pilferers, regardless
of whom they may be, to the full extent
of the law.
| Yesterday afternoon Mrs Bailey went to
| the store of lines & Ross and procured as
| many empty boxes as she could. Taking
them with her, she met her daughter-in-
law and little girl at Munson & Nc
| Namara's, where a good collection of booty
was stored in the boxes. Mr.. Mcnamara
suspected that they had more boxes
than they needed and his suspicious
were strengthened when his polite offer to
wrap them up and deliver them was re-
| jected. He managed to get possession of
one of the boxes, however, and the first
article he found was piece of bingham
with Munson & McNamara's private mark
that had not been purchased The police
was called in and Mrs. Bailey and her two
daughters were brought to trial. 1t was
then learned that the boxes were allfulI of
goods, in all valued at about 81
Mrs Bailey denied the charge
| and said the boxes belonged to
lady who had given them to her to
keep She did not say who lady was and
| the story did not have much weight with
Judge Museller The daughter-in-law
seemed inclined to tell the truth and said
that she took two parcels without having
paid for them and, although she did not
know it for a fact, believed the rest had
been taken by Mrs. Baily in the same
way The little girl testified that she did
not take anything and did not know who
put the goods in the boxes. She also
said she was with her mother all
the time and saw no goods taken except
two small bundles that seemed to have
been paid for. This story sounded as if
she had learned it by heart. On the re-
quest of the county attorney the prosecu-
ton was withdrawn as to the daughter-in-
law and the little girl. In consideration
OF their youth and the fact that they were
evidently under the dominance of Mrs
Baily such a course seemed expedient.
Mrs. Baily continued to deny the charge
and urged that she had a sick child at
home but the court although unwilling to
send her to Jail could not see any way out
of it. He therefore sentenced her to thirty
days in Jail and assessed her 81 and the
costs of the action.

THE WARM WEATHER.

The few drops of rain in the early part
of last evening were quite welcome mainly
because they indicated a cool strata of air
in the vicinity. Nothing but the favora-
BILE location of Wichita prevented the
same category of accidents from sun stroke
reported elsewhere during the last few
days The mercury has shown an affinity
for 100 in the shade but the fresh breezes
have kept it from being too oppressive.
One of the men employed in building the
street car track on Main street was COM
PEELED to quit work yesterday on account
of the heat but his physician says he is not
seriously afflicted. Several men who have
been exposed to the sun a good deal have
suffered slightly but ne serious cases have
been reported. \ number of horses have
suffered to some extent and a fine animal
owned and driven by Mr.. NJ. \. Mckenzie
died from the effects of over heating after
a long drive. Rain is expected and indi-
Gated and will surely come with the first
cool wave.

Mr. R. C. Thompson, of Arcade, F. Y,
arrived yesday on prospecting trip. He
says he has not been in Kansas since the
grasshopper year and he wanted to see the
state at the time when it was on dress
parade. He was advised to come here most
any time and about now especially, and is
incline to think the state is certainly on
dress parade about this time. He intends
to spend several days in Southern Kansas
and as he is open to argument and should
the west to his mind offer more induce
menrs for making investments than the
east, he may become financially interested
in the great west.
