SUGGESTIONS TO REPUBLICANS

The time in which to call a conven-
ton and in which to hold primaries
for the purpose of nominating Repub-
lican candidate for the legislature from
the Sixty-seventh district, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of L. NJ.
Lawrence, is brief. 1t being out OF
usual time IL would be difficult to get
cut a really representative vote at the
primaries which would probably result
in the direction fixed by such few in
dividuals as might take enough inter-
est to make an active effort. In view of
these facts it is suggested that the
county central committee call together
the convention that nominated Mr..
Lawrence The members Of that con-
vention were chosen to nominate the
Republican who should represent the
Sixty-seventh in the legislature this
winter We see no reason why they
should not still do that work
1t would not only be a
preroga tive, but just and
safe course to pursue. The gentlemen
composing that convention are COM
petent and all right in every way and
were not chosen in any individual inter
est. They would get together without
prejudice and with the least expendi-
ture of time or money, besides il would
relieve the situation of all suspicion of
jobs.
Let the central committee reconvene
the original convention and we guar
antee that the great body OF the Re
publicans of the Sixty-seventh Will be
entirely satisfied

DOG Fooled THEM.
Faithful Canine Proven a Big Robbery al
Augusta.

Yesterday morning the police found
in the south part of the Sixth ward a
stolen horse, buggy and set of harness.
The find was the sequel to a big rob-
berry that was attempted at Augusta by
some Of the many professional thieves
who make this city their home.
a prominent merchant at Augusta, it
was ascertained by the gang, by some
means, had an immense amount of
money in his safe. They attacked the
place Saturday night with plans fully
matured to steal the money, but they
found a big bulldog guarding the store
on the inside. With the cunning OF
professional burglars they were pre-
pared for even this emergency with a
lot of poisoned meat. Breaking a win
dow glass they inserted the meat for
the benefit of the dog, but he fooled
them. He examined the meat care
fully and then looked at the robbers
out of the corner of his vicious eyes.
They waited for a long time expecting
that he would indulge in the meat, but
the longer they waited the more Sus-
picious the dog became. Finally they
were compelled to give up the job.
They walked a mile west of Augusta
where they stole two horses. On these
they T. 1e four or five miles WIN they
stole a cart and harness and hitching
one OF the | -ses to the cart rode to
town and leaving the hore stand they
skipped out. After the robbers left the
faithful dog quietly ate the poisoned
meat and died at 10 o'clock.
There is a clue to the identity of the
robbers and they may be caught. The
police say there are at least 100 profess
sional thieves living in Wichita and op-
Grating from here. They do nothing in
town but go to the surrounding viii
lagos to do their thieving work. They

daylight with their spoils, hence il is
very hard to get on to them. They al
sosteal a good deal from the farmers.
In fact they are doing so much mis-
chief in the rural portions that the
farmers are thinking of organizing a
vigilance committee in hopes that a
