AN INFAMOUS BURaLAR's METHODS

Peace's burglarious implements were
remarkable. He had several DISCUSSES;
his favored role was that OF a preacher;
he also went about frequently as one
armed veteran; his tools were cleverly
constructed: several pieces OF wood. about
half an inch thick and one foot In length
fastened one 20 the other with screw
nails, constituted his ladder; a hook at
one end enabled hinl 20 catch on to
convenient cornice, and nimble as a cat

age-speedily reached the principal bed

perpetrated principally during the winter
months, and when the family were at
dinner. Once IN the bedroom. Peace i'm
medlately locked the door. and inserted
a small block OF wood, y-shaped. beneath
IL; he then secured the door 10 the jaInb
by a long screw mail, which had an ef-
fective hook on the end; to this a rope
was attached. so that II hight were neces-
sary, everything was In readiness. In
order to enter room when the door was
locked, Peace invented an instrument
somewhat like an exaggerated watch
key, OF the class that fits all watches.
With this he caught hold OF the small
portion Of the door-key that protrudes on
the outside. then his key tightened upon
It. so that II became the simplest thing In
the world to open locked door from
the outside. Space will not permit me

WAsHINGTON March 27-Secretary
Morton has written unique letter To
Edward Peterson, of Dayton, Iowa, who
applied 10 him by mail for the position
of chief Russian thistle eXterminarOr for
the state of Iowa. Replying 10 Peterson
the secretary says: sit is impossible im-
mediately TO comply with your request
because the Hans 0rOugh bill appr0 pria-
ting Sl,OOus000 for the wedding of Iowa,
the Dakotas and other thistle infected
sections of the northwest has not yet be-
come a law.
several amendments 10 the bill are
contemplated. among them an approprial
ton for the destruction Of the cookie
burr and rattlesnakes which secrete
themselves ia All kinds of grass. The
government viii probably. i'd its munifi-
cence and tender care of its children.
also distri butte in original packages anti
dOtes for the snake bites.
SIT is In the judgment OF some good
citizens. who are inclined to this sort of
Daternalism. only fair that the bill should
DH also amended SO as to permit of the
farmer to draw directly upon the public
treasury for each days work in the ex-
termination Of weeds upon his or amy

vide a patent method Of blowing with

lows Trial
The celebrated De Boissiere Orphans
home case, ia which all the Odd Eel
lows In Kansas are Interested, is being
tried to-day in the district court before
Judge Hazen.
This is the case in which the Reno
lodge of Odd Fellows at Hutchison
bring suit to enj0in H. Q. Slime, the grand
treasurer, and John A. Bright, the grand
secretary of the order ia this state, from
collecting a levy from the local lodges
for the benefit Of the De Boissiere Or
phans home at SIkville.
The court room has been filed with
interested odd Fellows, and the case
VIII probably not be finished to-day.
The Hutchinson lodge asks for the in-
junction On The ground that the action of
the last meeting Of the state grand lodge
was Illegal, and for that reason the levy
for the benefit Of this Orphans home is
Illegal.

Fort Scott in 1892 vote was taken de-
Gliding to change the day of meeting Of
the next session from Tuesday as pro-

story Of how Brogan was shot by this
officer without cause, and then taken to
the police station. where he was allowed
to lie during the afternoon on hard
pine board without his wounds being
dressed, before being taken 70 the hospi-
