Suicide of a Wealthy Farmer
Living Near Arlington.

WINFIELD, July 19.-The north domi-
tory Of the Southwest Kansas college
took fire Wednesday morning about
o'clock and burned to the ground Very
little was saved from the house The
loss was between five and six thousand
dollars.
The fire was discovered by Prof. F. G.
Frank, who rooms on the third floor.
While getting out he was almost stified
by the smoke which had already filed
the whole building.
The fire company was unable to do
anything, as the closest fire plug is about
half mile away, and the dormitory be-
ing almost on level with the reservoir,
there is not sufficient pressure to handle
the water.
An attempt was made to remove some
of the contents, but only a small portion
of Prof. Franks clothing, and some books
and clothing belonging to Miss Lillian
Grossly were saved. All the furnish
ings. including silverware, bedding and
furniture, were burned. 1t is fortunate,
however, that the fire occurred during
vacation, for had the usual number of
students been there, there would have
been u great loss of life.

TOOK AWAY THEIR STARS
The "ATerchants' Police Are Now Deputy
shsrIffs Instead of Policemen.

The "ATerchants' Police Are Now Deputy
shsrIffs Instead of Policemen.
The merchants police" are no longer;
they have become merchants deputy
sheriffs. The "merchants' force" has
been for long time composed of J. F.
Burris and c. p. Allen. Their work was
a private one and consisted of looking
after the front doors. back doors and
windows of their customers stores after
dark for burglars or fires.
The officers at the police headquarters
concluded that as they held commissions
from their department, they ought to
report there. Accordingly an or
der was issued TO Burris and
Allen requiring them to report
there every night what they
found on their rounds, what stores they
watched and how much they were paid
for it and some other other things that
they didn't care to answer. Accordingly
their commissions were revoked and
their commissions taken away from them
and likewise their stars. This left the
Merchants police force without author
ity, and they were undecided what to do.
Finally they went to Sheriff Burdge and
after telling him their troubles they
were sworn in as deputy sheritfs, and
now they have as much authority as any
policeman, and little more, and they
have resumed their work.
