STOLE A PAIR OF LADIES SHOES.

A gang Of hobos and hoodlums have
struck this town. Every night one or
more is found by the police. Last night
three were brought in at one time behind
the wild tearing nags of the patrol wagon.
One had pair of ladies shoes and the
other two were lettering. They gave their
names as Frank May, Jim Higgins and
Jim Mason.
They had entered lubricsting location
on East Douglas aud were esdeavoring to
sell the pair of shoes when Officer Sutton,
detected them and with the assistance OF
Cone landed them in the city prison.
Quite number of small articles mostly
put out by shopkeepsrs as display
have been ''swiped." A pail of molasses
from Payne & Andrews pair of panta
looms here or pair of gloves there, have
gone no one knows whittier.
These petty thieves have been pestering
the people. When the police find them
they say that they have just come from
Clearwater or walked in from some other
town to the south of here, and are going
on to Newton.
Just after these three were put in the
prison, three others were seen prowling
around the city building. The police are
on to the gang and they all will soon be
spotted.

Johns church last evening at the piano
recital given by William Ii. Sherwood, un-
der the auspices of the Wichita Musical
club.
Mr.. Sherwood has wonderfully sympa
thetic touch; his Interpretation of the
theme is at times tender and again over
whelming, and he is very versatile in the
rendering of his each succeeding move
ment.
Two numbers of the program were given
BY members of the musical club-the one,
a solo by Mr.. Garst, entitled Honor and
Arms" the same selection which he sang
at the concert given in the opera house:

Kansas towns.
For the fourth time the railroads traffic
managers and attorneys have been fairly
ana honestly beaten in the effort to dis
criminate against interior jobbers in favor
of the Missouri dumping and re-rating
line. Four times have the commissioners
and courts declared in this single case that
Kansas railways must not discriminate
against Kansas nor attempt by rate
sheets, gotten up in injunction with for
sign railroads terminating at the
Missouri river to make Kansas
tributary to the interests OF
town located beyond the boundaries Of
the state. The assumption that any town
is entitled to water" rates, because of the
alleged navigability of the Missouri river.
the state board of railway commissioners
have again and sgain exploded.
After another long and exhaustive hear
ing the present board of railway commits
sioners declare the decision promulgated
by the old board to have been sound and
right by now refusing a re-hearing, thus
two different boards and the supreme
court have alike held the same thing.
What the traffic meh will do next would
be hard to guess, although the Symms'
combine have flied new motion in the
supreme court for a new hearing. 1t
would seem that the board could be no
further enjoined, the supreme court hav-
ing dissolved the former effort to do SO.
The commissioners should now demand the
rates adjudged by them as being equitable
as measured by the Missouri river rate
put in Immediately.
The history of the whole case and the ef
fects Of the decision, if acceded to, have so
often and thoroughly been told and eluci-
dated by the EAGLE that any further ex-
planation at this time would prove re-
iundant and unnecessary.
