THIEVES SENTENCED.
The Wicked Visitors Get a Taste Of
Providence Justice.

Frank and Emma Ulman, Charles ID.
Krunshke and Minnie Knode were in the
District Court this morning TO answer to
various charges. The first three were
charged with the larceny OF ring from
Henry Z. Whittier * Co. The Ulmans
pleaded guilty and were held in $500 for
the grand jury.
Krunshke pleaded not guilty, Lawyer
George j. West appearing as counsel and
entering an appeal from the sentence
OF 80 days imposed upon krunshke day
before yesterday. The prisoner very
luckily has good father, who furnished
bail in 1000 and his part in the ring cass
was continued until tomorrow morning.
The two women were then charged
with the larceny OF capes, one each from
the III. w. Lsdd Company, James Nc
Keon q Company and Delos Z. Wood,
valued at SIS apiece in the first two
cases, and SIP in TIE third. Both women
pleaded guilty and we're each fined s20 and
eosts in each case.
The Ulman woman was evidently ready
30 plead guilty to most anything, and
Dad devil may-care way with ner that
was refreshing to look al. Beth she and
Der husband were presty pale, the effects OF
the opium beginning to be very conspic-
uous as abstinence continues. Captain
Costine says they were hard hitters OF the
pipe, but they will probably have a long
time TO reform in before the minions of
the law get through with them, especi-
ally the young woman, 1t being under
stood that several more capes are yet TO
be accounted for.
IL Is said that krunshke is not consid-
cred as bad by any means as the others,
whose acquaintance he is said to have
made in an opium joint.
The Ulmans and the pretty Knode girl
are supposed to have come from New
York, via Boston, and their capture is
considered fortunate thing.

Distinct Change for Better.
Time for Chicago Gas to Have Its
Innings.
Special 10 The News.

| spcciai W Inc NtWs-
NEW YORK, May 1.-The feeling on the
market, as far as the best commission
houses on the street are concerned,
continues conservatively bullish, and
1t is believed that il anything
definite is done at today's meet
ing OF the Coal combine agents there will
be further sentimental advance. The
gratifying feature of the situation is that
all the prominent capitalists believe that
a distinct change for the better has been
us shered in.
Chicago Gas ought to have its innings.
The buying has been very confident, and
the impression prevails that the talk of
competition will be very much less of
factor in the immediate future than it
was in the very recent past. The large
Standard Oil interests own more than the
control OF the stock and they insist that
their lines are not for sale this side of
par.
Intrinsically Western Union is worth
as much as New York Central, and the
company is certainly making in net rev.
enue twice as much as the Vanderbilt
road.

utterances about the non-enforce-

Metropolitan police laws and out

lieve that the bimetallic. standard can

ton inviting the opening of saloons
in Kansas it would have not been
more effective than his declaration
that the law cannot be enforced
where 1t is not sustained by public
sentiment. The whisky crowd is
ever active and ready to assume that
it is the embodiment Of public senti.
ment because there is money in the
business. The whisky dealers are
at the bottom ofevery assault on Pro-
hlblhon, not the whisky drinkers.
Since its adoption in Kansas, prohi-
bltlon has never been dealt so SER
lous blow as has been given it BY
Governor Morrill,. From all over
the state comes the news that where
there were "joints" before, there are
now saloons, and that there are now
saloons where neither existed a short
time ago. In some localities The
county attorneys are being criticised.
but in answer he has but to point to
the chief executive of the state. Has
ne not said that the law cannot be
enforced? The fact that saloons
have been opened all over the state
SO soon after the beginning of pres
ent administration makes possible
the conclusion that the whisky ele.
ment must have had some idea Of
what was coming.

listen to the governors assertion
that law which Republicans have

of Republicans that they were sold
out to secure the votes of a minor

true, but then the state had to be
redeemed" says the Journal.
