SNEAK THIEVES CAPTURED
After Ransaeking -Four Or Five
Second Ward Houses.
The Property Taken, Mostly Cloth
ing and Small Articles Of a Per-
sonal Nature, Was Partially
Recovered - The Men Accused
Sent to Jail for a Hearing To-Day.

Yesterday morning the police were
notified that several houses in the yicin-
ity of Main and Tenth streets had been
entered by thieves during the previous
night and a considerable amount OF
property, principally clothing, taken.
Lieutenants Clemans and Ingram at
once took hold Of the case, and soon af-
ter arrested two men who were found
on Market street, just below Eleventh.
The prisoners were taken to headquar,
ters, where they gave the names of
William Willard and Richard Riler.
They were searched, and about a peck
OF personal property was found in their
clothes, consisting of combs, a razor,
keys, neck-ties, collar and cuff buttons,
match boxes, and a large number Of
similar articles, the whole looking as
though they had dumped the contents
of two or three small drawers into their
pockets. The property was promptly
identified by some Of those robbed. \
search of the Second ward saloons,
made later, resulted in the discovery OF
a big lot of clothing, which had been
left there during the night and which
had all been stolen. The prisoners
were taken before Justice Phillips and
committed to Jail in default Of bail for
hearing to-day.
Among the places visited by the
thieves was a room or two in the Zinn
block, on Tenth street, the old Grant
House, Mrs. Dunbar's, on Market
street, and Lee Shanley's, at No. 1860
Main street. At the Grant House Chas.
Geiger lost clothing and other property
TO the value of about forty dollars, and
Mr.. Bonner, an engineer at the ice
plant, also lost considerable. AT No.
1850 Mr.. Stanley lost two pairs OF
trousers, a coat or two, five shirts, half
a-dozen new handkerchiefs, and some
other goods.
The two thieves obtained access to
the houses on the plea OF wanting lodg-
ing, secured a key, and then entered
the buildings at a late hour and went
through all the rooms they could obtain
access TO. ---,,

the position that woman should exact

report OF the European agent of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
published last week, gives the general
outlook for the harvests abroad.
In Great Britain the prospects were at
one tlme excellbnt. but have been dark
ened by scarcity Of rainfall Wheat is
making "less than half crop In some
counties of EBgla but in Scotland ''all
prospects are reported good" 1he Eng
llsh hay crop will be short. In France the
wheat crop is estimated from u poor
aYornRe" down to a!ilng Off of 30 600. 600
bushels, and 1t seems certain the yield
will not suffice for domestic needs. But
the meslln rye and oats crops In France
are about the average.
In Germany the season has been more
favorable; wheat will probably make an
average crop. though rye will bs short. In
Austria. hungary all crops promise we'll.
except that i'll Hungary wheat will be q
little short. while Italy and spain except
an average harvest. The North African
harvests are above all average" and in
Russia 'all authorities concur In predict.
Ing a bouniliul harvest, particularly in
the southern districts, which supply tho
export-wheat 90 the Black Sea ports."
From the above official returns and
other Indications 1t seems clear that there
will be no extended failure OF the Euro.
pean crops, but no excessive yield except
In Southern Russia.
