WAS A BOLD THIEF
BURGLAR ENTERS THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE AT MIDDAY.
Money Drawer Is Pried Open and Contents
TAken-Money in Care Of VIII Smith
Belonged to Society of Christian En-
deavor--Tools Used to Open the Drawer
are Found in the Basement--Theory as
to How the Burglary was Committed
Some Suspicious that are not Backed by
Evidence--Bll Feels Bad About 1t.

There was a great commotion in the
sheriff's Office just after dinner time
yesterday. To be plain about il the
sheriff's office was burglarized at mid
day and SAT of good hard cash was car
ried off,
When the noon arrived Sheriff S
Clerk Billy Smith locked the drawers
and the Office door as usual and went
out TO eat his dinner and in less than
an hour when he returned he found
that the money drawer in the office
had been broken open and the above
stated amount was taken.
The thief had evidently unlocked the
door and entered from the hallway.
The money drawer showed marks
where it had been pried open. Deputy
Sheriff Hays went down into the base
ment and found a screw driver and a
file lying on the tool chest that belongs
to the building. These were supposed
TO be the tools that were used to open
the drawer.
The tools were taken to the sheriff's
ONCE and the marks left on the edge
OF the drawer correspondent exactly
with the tools. They had been run
IN over the drawer and the top board
or the counter raised until the catch on
the lock was free and the drawer OPEN
ed
There are several keys in the hands
or employees about the court house that
viii unlock the sheriff's office and the
theory advanced was that some one
had gotten hold of these keys and en-
tered the Office while the officers were
at dinner.
There was one objection urged
against this story. County commits
slonerS and several others il
seems ate a lunch in the basement
room in which the file and screw driver
were found. The engineer came over
from the Jail by the time they were
through eating and sat and talked
with some of the party until after l
O'Clock and they said no one had come
TO get the tools from the box nor to re-
turn them.
The money stolen did not belong to
the sheriff's Office but TO the Christian
Endeavor association in care of Mr..
Smith as secretary of the local organ
lzation- MIR. Smith felt badly about the
loss OF the money, much more SO than
II IT had been his own private funds.
There was an attempt to fasten sus-
picion of the theft on one of the en-
ployes at the court house but no proof
was forthcoming to substantiate the
suspicion and no arrests were made.
The man who got the money seems to
have left no trail on the hard tile floor.

THEY PICKED THEIR TIME.
Mail Carriers Pulled NJ mbers Yesterday
for Their Annual Vacation.

After o'clock last evening the mail
carriers at the post office had as eXcit-
ing a time as If they were rafting for
a Thanksgiving turkey. Each and ev-
cry one of them is entitled 10 a vacation
Of fifteen days every year and as all
of them could not very well get of to-
gether some system must be adopted
so that an agreement could be reached
whereby they could get off one at a
time. PoStma ster Fitch put a lot OF
numbers in a hat. one for each carrier.
and then they began 10 draw. the man
getting No. /. 10 have the first choice
of time. No. ,. second, and so on. Mr..
Skinner was the lucky man. He had
the thirteenth draw and il knocked the
old superstition about the No. IS. SKY
high. He selected his vacation for
the first fifteen days in October.
The posioffice has made d new nova
ton in the delivery system since the
railroad time card has changed. One
extra delivery VIII he made at O'Clock
and by that means business men can
get their mail before going TO supper
whereas they could not get il delivered
to them before until the following
morning. From now on the deliveries

ed a dram entitled more Sinned
Against Than SHINING" and the way
each executed his part and the master
ful way in which the whole piece was
gone through with shows that the paro-
chial school turns out boys who are
gifted TO an extraordinary degree
with the talents Of actors. Long before
the curtain rose every seat in the hall
was taken and many had TO stand.
At one side of the stage amid a pro-
fusion Of flowers Prof. Blume'S orcheS-
ira furnished the music. Mr.. F. j.
Higgins and Miss Russell both rendered
vocal solos pleasing to the audience.
To say that the drama was well acted
IS putting it very light, as expressions
Of establishment were heard on every
hand expressing surprise that the
school could turn out such Il handsome

Paramount college is coming to the
front and the friends of the institution
now believe that there is a bright fu-
ture for the school
The trustees held melting yesterday
and important action was taken. The
trustees present were j. NJ Knapp,
president; r. L. Holmes, secretary;

mingway, Newton; Rev. Weemer, of

II. Corner of this city
DR.. y. @. Morrison at present of the
Marietta college of Marietta, O., was
selected president of the Paramount
college and it is hoped that he will &C
cept and come on here at once.
DR.. Morrison was for fourteen years
president of Drury college at Spring
field( Mo-, and his reputation as an
educator is established. The trustees
Of Paramount college believe that in
fuenceS are at work that will induce
him to come here. He has been here
and is more than pleased with Wichita.
The American Educational society of
Boston, Mass, that has been aiding
western colleges for nearly fifty years
IS going to give Paramount college a
that the institution win be made sue
cessful from the Very start.
The educational society does not pro-
pose to take hold and run the college
and give Wichita a pauper educational
institution but it does propose to give
the people of Wichita material assis-
lance if they will take hold and build
up a great educational institution in
their midst.
One of the trustees said yesterday:
THE society will proba bly, do more
than the people of Wichita, but it Will
not do ii all. We can have a college
here if the people will support it and L
cannot see why they will not. L be-
lieve they will, because people here can
graduate their boys and girls for less
than one-half what will be required to
send then. way"
j. NJ. Knapp, president Of the board
of trustees, said last night that il was
the intention to develop Paramount
into a college as rpidly as possible and
that Freshman class will be opened
in September with splendid faculty.
