BURGLARS AND ROBBERS.

Mr. Cash HendeIson's store was burglar
lied night before last Preliminary to the
work his big mastiff was poisoned to
death, without which precaution the job
could not have been successfully done.
They descended into the store through the
skylght by the means Of rope. The safe
was drilled by experts and the combination
reached in the most direct manner. Sew
eral hundred dollars were obtained.
1t is certain that the crowd that did
the work were disappointed in the haul
made. but Mr.. Henderson had deposited
during the day. He offers 500 for the
conviction of the thieves.
Judge Reed sent up like gang some
time since, for twenty-five years each, and
the outfit that killed the dog and
robbed the safe should follow
the Others Steps were taken yesterday
among number of business men to or
ganize n vigilance committee.
This leads us to few pertinent observa-
tions: Wherefore the necessity of business
men going to such an eXpenseS What are
police organizations for? In town the
size of this the police should be able TO
point out every suspicious character; to
spot every professional burglar, and we
believe they can. If they can, why is it
not the duty of the police commissioners
to see that the town is rid of the gang?
Mr. Henderson not only, but every mer-
chant, is directly interested in an answer
to these questions

The concert given By Thos. Shaw al his
music hall on North Main street last night
was one Of the most enjoyable occasions
and in keeping with generous actions OF
the music man of Wichita. The spacious
hall was packed 10 its utmost capacity
and standing room was at par long before

tons which were roundly applauded by
the audience Mr.. VIII Co!lius sang a
number OF his unique comic songs and was
eucored frequently After frequent calls
from the audience Mr.. Jack Shields came
forward ana rendered a very beautiful!

An Experience in Truth Telling That
Wasn't Candy Success.
A great many persons pretend to sadly
deplore the fact that society is ever tell
ing a great many little white hes. Frank
ness is strongly recommended and people
are praised for saying just what they
think.
Frankness appears very admirable in
theory, but it is quite another thing IN
practice A certain amount of deception
seems really necessary for the welfare OF
society, and the man or woman who tines
to get on wholly without it is likely tC
have few friends and many enemies.
1t is said that the minister of certain

the untruthfulness Of mankind and
preached q vigorous sermon IN denunc1a-

that lies told out of politeness were just

recognize the past weeks meeting as the
in the state
At 4 o'clock the judges. General Lyon
and staff, knights and others as many as
the hall could accommodate were ascend
led at committee headquarters.
The judges announced their decision.
The score of the Galaxy division WAS 9l.49
and Junction City IS 61 The first prize of
$3.50 was awarded to the Pittsburg divis-
ion. The score of Chetopa division, No ID,
was 9S.25 and of Newton division 9O.Sl,
and the second prize of 500 was awarded
the Chetopa division.
The special prize, sword, was presented
to its captain, Sir Knight B. S. Edwards.
The sword was presented in a fitting
speech by Gen Lyon.
General congratulations followed. Every
one though the decision just and no i'll
feeling whatever was anywhere apparent.
After quiet had been again restored, Col.
Woodruff, one of the judges, made few
minutes speech. He spoke highly OF the
city and its people, and thanked them most
heartily for the kindness shown himself
and colleagues while here. Although ne
could not offer the citizens of Wichita the
freedom of Leavenworth as it had been
offered them here, The could offer the best
the fort afforded and extended a hearty
general invitation. He was cheered, the
band played, and everybody was happy.
Chetopa division was photographed by

During the afternoon the victorious di-
visions headed by Browns band paraded
the streets.
There are still large number of knights
in the city, but the greater number have
turned homeward.
The local Knights have labored hard to
make the meeting a success and wherein
they failed was not their fault. but to
causes which were beyond the control OF
man.
Thousands of strangers visited Wichita
during the week who could not but be I'M
pressed with the excellent manner in
which the entire conclave was conducted.

The great hnlgnCS Oh fytnlaS CoHCidfe
came to close yesterday. The day
dawned beautiful and clear, but slightly
cooler, and was just what the boys had
wished for for their drilling. At an early
hour great masses of people were moving
towards the fair grounds. Some rode out
in buggies, some walked, while the greater
number chose the electric cars to convey
them TO the scenes Of yesterdays program.

the exercises took place. Browns Mill
tary band, who discoursed the music
during the week, was on the grounds.

sion drilling and the judges. The judges

Capt Eastman, all United States army
officers stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
The commands and movements which

The competition in class A. and b. were
open to the world while class c. was open
only to Kansas divisions, which never be-
fore entered competitive drill. All

COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE REED

from the Kinguan Courier Leader.
Judge Reeds speech to the Knights OF
Pythias at Wichita on Monday evening
adds new laurels to his reputation as an
orator. 1t is doubtful if there is more
eloquent man in Kansas. His speech
presenting the name of Col. j. r. Hal
lowell to the Dodge City convention,
which was published in full in these col
umns, will be remembered by many of our
readers. If it should be the Judges fate
to be pitted against Jerry Simpson next
year, the contrast in the personnel Of the
candidates would be even greater than ii
was in the last campaign.
