SwIPING his BEST TROUSERS
The Deed Took Place IN the Morton st
al Early Hour Yesterday MaTn-
ing-Lewis Arrested.

One of the boldest attempts that wss
ever made 10 40 APP a molder Of
public opinion took place Ia the Nor
ton house yesterday morning. shortly
after 6 O'Clock the electric bell Ia the
Office struck q 2;o5i clip. and the an
nuneistor indicated that something
terrible wac going on IA room No. 90.
A bell boy hurried up the stairs and
soon came back with bis face ghsstly
pale and has teeth ehsttering. lie told
Arthur Grant between hls gasps that
'tbe gentleman IN No. o. wants you
right away Arthur spr.ntec mp
STAIRS aud down the condor until lie
reached the room. lie hung tie door
open and a fnghtful ssght met ia
eyes. The early morning light wac be-
ginning 10 hitter through the partially
closed blinds and light the room IA a
ghostly, weird manner. In one OF the
darkest corners of the room were Two
| men. one lay PROSTATE on the floor.
HIS face was pale. HIS teeth were
chnehed. His eyes seemed ready TO
burst from their sockets and has whole
countensnce wore al expression that
wac hideous.
over him stood another man, clad IN
an abbreviated nlghtshlrt and q spot
less character. In one hand he had .
copy OF the Cedar Springs Clipper aud
tue ether grasped his tTusty lack-knlfe.
From time 10 time as the PROSTATE man
attempted 10 move, he Of the IN
adorned legiets would hiss. Down,
villain, ere ] swipe thee 10 the heart.
Seer Then the victim would crawl
farther into the corner and his face
would assume n more horrflcd look.
IL Was Mac sellers
Investigation on the part Of Mr..
Grant proved that the man clad in the
nonpareil undershirt wss l.. Mcknight
Sellers, editor of the Cedar Springs
Clipper, chairman of the republican
county committee and eK-membeT Of
7 the state legislature. HE victim was
man that had attempted 10 burgiar.xe

10 catch a train aud left The door
| unlocked. "Mac" Was still sleeping.
| lie had Just dreamed that Tour deiin-
Quent subscribers had walked into the
office and paid their subscriptions when
he WAS awakened by noise. He saw
a man reaching for his trousers. The
intruder took out bunch of keys and
8 lack-knife. Mr.. Sellers was trans
fixed with astonlshnent. Then be re-
! moved a Harrison aud Red pocket
| handkerchief. Finally he reached into
a hip pocket and pulled ont q plug Of
40-cent chewing. This was more than
the chairman of the county committee
| could stand, and with a wild warwhoOp
ne sprung from has bed and pined the
william 20 the floor. This was the tab
leau that Arthur Grant saw when be
went into the room.
| The prisoner gave bis name Sc George

CHICAGO, January 1S-Wheat opened
more active, stronger ana higher this
morning. but after scoring an advance Of
/ cent sentiment changed in the pit and
the close shows the appreciation wiped out
and prices unchanged from the closing fig
ures Of Saturday. The early news was
nearly all bullish. The strong factors were
the light receipts everywhere, the strong
and higher cables, the very cold weather in
the southwest ana the heavy decrease in
the visible supply. There was but little
wheat for sale in the early trading and as
the short interest was large and general
desire 70 cover seemed prevalent the mar
kes assumed a strong tone at the start and
held il most OF the day. Domestic mar
kets were all advancing snd q good many
operators who have been holding on wait

come and were good buyers, while fright
ened shorts were making haste 20 cover.
