NOT ALL DRUNkS AT X. C.
Some Stayed in Topeka and Got Into
Trouble.

Last evening CoryeI Faulkner,
medical student from Atchison, was
walking north on Quincy between Fourth
and Fifth streets, he was set upon by
three men of notorious character who
were intoxicated and he with difficulty
prevented an assault. AS he passed the
trio they yelled at him and dared him to
fight. Having never seen them before
and not wishing to engage in a street
brawl Mr.. Faulkner stopped (Which is
where he made a mistake) and told the
young men that he wasn't hunting trou-
BILE, and then started away. At this they
called him vile names, used, a great
amount of profanity and the leader in
the disturbance, who was Harry Gregg,
stepped toward Faulkner and wanted to
fight. He was considerably intoxicated.
Faulkner got away from the gang and
reported the case to Sergeant Owen. The
latter arrested Harry Gregg. Pat oHara
and Chas. Jones. At police station,
Gregg tried to strike co1ored man who
had been summoned as a witness in the
case. This morning in police court Mr..
Faulkner appeared against the fellows.
Speaking of it he said: 'I was walking
along quietly when these fellows followed
me and began calling me names.
stopped and told them I didn't care to
mix in anything with them and then this
fellow Gregg wanted to fight me and
they all cursed me and called me names.
They acted as if they had been drinking.
walked away and had them arrested
Judge Atchison fined Harry Gregg. the
leader in the disturbance, SO, and the
others 50 each.
Coryen Faulkner is a son of G. e.
Faulkner, who was superintendent of the
soldiers orphans home at Atchison. He
is attending the Kansas Medical college
and this summer has been studying in DIR.

BABY BURGLARS.
Man Named Lundburg Brings Up q
Brood of Them ard He is Still
at Large.

Four tiny burglars were caught yes
terday by the police in Armstrong and
KasSebaum's commission store at 206
Kansas avenue where they had enter
ed by means of a pinchbar." They
were in the act of going through the
money drawer when first discovered by
Mr.. Armstrong as he entered the store
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon. This
was not the first time the store had
been burg1ariZed and Mr.. Armstrong
went to his place of business thinking
perhaps he might find an intruder
there. What was his surprise at find
ing four boys in age from five to ten
years.
At police station it was found that
the boys names were Oliver Lundburg,
aged years, Arthur Lundburg, aged
years. Charlie Lundburg, aged years,
and Herbert Lowe, aged 10 years. The
Iundburg boys are sons of Charles
Lundburg, who keeps a stand on Quin-
cy street between Fifth and Sixth
streets.
The boys owned up to having burg
larized the place but said the Lowe boy
had used the crowbar to pry open the
rear door of the store, and they follow
ed in. Last Sunday the store was bro
ken into and it is supposed that the
same boys did it.
The 5-year-old boy was sent home to
his mother and the three others locked
in the dungeon in the basement of the
city Jail. This was done for the reason
that the other Jail room was pretty
full and it was thought best to keep
the small boys away from adult crini-
na1S. Ihree blankets were spread on
the floor of the steel cell in the base
ment of the jail Into this the three
boys, and a 12-year-old runaway boy
named Reed were locked. Although
young in years they were old in exper-
fence of criminal character. Their
language was vile and their tastes are
most depraved. The father of the
Lundburg boys refuses to take part in
the case and it is probable that the boys
will all be sent to the reform school.
Judge Atchison went down stairs to see
the boys. Peering in through the steel
barred door he asked: What are you
doing in there, boys?" They answered
him with a volley of profanity which
so shocked him that he ran up stairs
to escape the torrent of abuse
Nothing has been done with Lund-
burg for unloading this batch on the
confinement for 25 years might be good
for him. 1t might be a lesson to people
who think they can spawn bad chill
dren on the community and not suffer
the consequences

That Tax on Tea,

a strong defence of the senate
amendment to the Dingley bill impos-
ing a temporary duty of 10 cents a
pound on tea is made by James r.
Davies, the celebrated tea expert of
New York He contends that while il
will raise S2O,GOO,OOO of much-needed
annual revenue it will also result in the
importation of a finer quality of tea
and i'm the long run represent no eddi-
tional expense to the public. He points
out that the cheap grades Of tea are
not only injurious to health but also
uneconomical since to make up for de-
fects in quality IL is necessary for the
consumer Of cheap tea to use a larger
quantity than is necessary In the finer
grades Mr.. Davies concludes his ar
gument by calling attention to the fact
that those countries which impose the
heaviest duties on tea import the best,
because It does not pay to trade in the
poorer kinds.
There is undoubtedly much in this
representation to justify the senate
amendment in the minds of intelligent
men; but unfortunately it is not the
class of intelligent voters who hold the
balance Of political power in this ceun
try. In adopting the Dingley bill con-
gress has to consider not only what is
right but also what is expedient. When
we recall how persistently, and in the
first instance successfully, the Demo-

In going aheaG promptly with the
