SHOP LIFTING.
Two Women Supposed TO be From Wichita
Arrested at Wellington.

Chief Cone was informed yesterday that
quite case of shop lifting was discovered
at Wellington. and that the parties im-
plicated, woman and her daughter,
were supposed to be from Wichita. He
Immediately took down bis black book
and be thinks he knows who the parties
are, as women answering the disruption
are missing from town. The two
women gave their names as
Mrs. and Miss Paul TO the
Sumner county officers, but of course they
are fictitious names
The women went into the dry goods
house of Richardson & Co. aud desired to
look at some cloaks While in the cloak
department the mother asked TO see goods
in another portion of the house, and while
they were absent the daughter wrapped
fine $25 cloak around her waist. under her
dress. in such clever manner that
she nearly escaped detection. When
she came out to the front part
of the store the clerk noticed
that she was acting strangely aud at once
suspected that she was shoplifter He
called Deputy Sheriff Ed Morse who was
passing by and after an investigation Mr..
Richardsod relieved her of the cloak as
deicately as possible under the circum-
stances.
The vehicle in which they tarveled was
searched and good deal OF goods supposed
to have been stolen was found Some of
these were afterwards Identified by Mr.
Latta. of the Fair. whose place the woman
visited before going to Mr.. Richardson's.

all pie"
This son of the orient lives by his art,
which is no less simple than beautiful.
After a talk about his impressions OF
America. which he says is not a country,
but a vast continent, and OF the wonderful
push and sleepless energy of American
people, which are beyond his comprehen-
sioD. he took up small piece of paper and
with his thumb nail impressed a delightful
flower in its surface. perfect in all respects.
on which after be mad completed it he put
his autograph, both in Sanscrit and in

CALLED HER BAD NAMES.

One half of the people in the world do
not know how the other half live. One OF
the best places to find out is in the archives
of the district clerks office. Some Satur-
day night you see a couple promenading
up Douglas avenue or Main street rolling
a baby carriage in front of them, and you
say to yourself There goes happy
couple" Perhaps in II week you can go TO
the district clerks Office aud find there
petition from the better half' OF that
happy couple" asking for divorce, and
then when you read it you find out how
badly you are mistaken about your ideal
happy couple. You will find, perhaps,
that on that very Saturday night the head
of that family licked the baby, broke up
the chairs aud tables with an AK
slapped the wife and called her
some of the vilest names known
to the street blackguard. Many cases of
the kind have come under the observation
of the reporter.
Yesterday Mary Ann Newell sued her
husband for divorce In the district court
aud the charges she brings against him
would make ones hair stand on end. He
called her all the bad names in the cata-
| logue, he threatened to kill her on several
| occasions, and the last thing she charges
| him vito is threat to Kill the entire
| family-to wipe out the entire result of his
| courtship and marriage. as it were. with
one fell blow They have lived together
nineteen years, according to her story, so
it can be seen that her action is not the
result Of a lack of patience.

OFF FOR Topeka.
Mrs. Lease Gone to the State Capital to Explain
Matters.

Mrs. Lease. it is stated, left yesterday for
Topeka iu response to an invitation from
some of the big folks in official life. 1t is
said that the result of her visit will be n
reconciliation between herself and the
state administration. When Mrs. Lease
raised storm after the election by de-
nouucing the administration she Was in
bad humor aud would not have done 1t
were it not for that fact. When she
came to her senses, AS it were, and learned
that she might possibly have done that
which would cost her position worth
$500 year, she was anxious to recall
what she had done and with the aid OF
Farmer Doolittte fixed up a statement
denving that she had ever roasted Gov
ernor Lewelling aud throwing the whole
blame on the reporters. This is Mrs.
Leases old dodge aud she did it cleverly.
Il is said by her friends here that the To-
peka fellows are just as anxious for a
reconciliation as Mrs. Lease is, for they are
deep enough in political corruption TO pre-
fer having Mrs. Lease for rather than
against them.
