One of the boldest robberies that has ever
occurred in Emporia was perpetrated last
night at the residence of Mrs. E A.
PEBBLES.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Grizzard occupied
:, chamber on the first floor. At half-past
. o'clock in the morning Mrs. GrlzzaTd
awakened her husband, asking him who
+ u was in the room, A man was search-
inp the bureau, and as Mr. Grizzard
started from the bed the man pointed
risto1 An his face, with the admonition
-..,ot 10 move or will blow your brains
out
The robbery was bolder from the fact
that a lamp was kept burning through
the night. The robber took IN Watches,
monevsand clothing s160 and left, warn
inr Mr.. GrIzzard not to move or he
arould he killed He also carried OF Mr..
Grizzard's pistol.
Coming on down the street the robbers
shot a favor.te setter dog belonging to
Dr. C. b. Mood. The Doctor, hearing
the shot and the piteous howls of the
dog. Immediately took a pistol and
searched his premises. but saw no one
around AS soon as Mr.. Grlzzard could
leave MS wife. who was thrown in quite
nervous state s by 1rignt ne gave the
alarm. AT once teleSramss We're sent to
the different stations on both the South-

ria being at the junction Of 1.-THE two roads.
A bloodhound was brought tram Suffolk
to-day. and every effort is..belng made by
the citizens of the town to trace ana dis
cover the robbers. g5$
A telegram just received from AIRING
dale, a station on the Southern, states
that suspicious character is trying to
sell a watch. and as two were secured
among the stolen articles from Mrs.
PEBBLES, It is hoped that this may be a.
clue to the there's.
Several similar outrages have occurred
in short time along the line ofS he

WASHINGTON, March I.-Genera1
Wheeler called a. the War Department
this morning and officially reported his
return from the Philippines to Secretary
Root. In accordance with the orders of the
Department.. 1t was expected that the s
question of Gen. WheeIer's future mill
tary status would be determined at this
meeting. Secretary Root was so busy.
however. with other Important questions
which had accumulated during his alb
sence from the city, that it was conclud-s
ed best to defer the consideration OF
General Wheeler's case to q more oppor-
tune time
The matter will probably be settled
within few days. Meanwhile the resig-
nation of General Wheeler from the vol
unteer army will be held In allegiance.
and the question as to General Wheelers
eligibility to o seat in Congress will be
held up, pending the settlement OF his
military status. ,asf
10 RETIRE: HIM
There is a strong desire to put the
names OF General Wheeler and General
Lee on the retired list of the army, with
the rank OF brigadier-general, but the ex-
ecution Of this plan requires special leg
islation by Congress. Existing law prohib-
Its a man sixty-four years of age from
serving on the active list in the army.
General Lee Is over sixty-four and Gem
eral Wheeler will be si1ty-four In Sep
tember- next.
The last named. therefore, Is the only
one eligible for appointment to the reg-
ular army. The short time he would have.
to serve, Ii case9o of appointment, Is made
an argument egainst such action,
Moreover. the desire of the PrsstGant
y understood 10 be to honor both OF the
distinguished volunteer officers In the
same way, ard not to single out a partic-
ular one for special prefern1ent {. witt,
the consent OF Congress, 1t would be pos-
sioie. to appo.nt them btiraSier-gsns rals
on the retired list. Such action would en-
abe thelr 10 ref:si.:sh sfei- nresenr

but in case of his trnnsfar to the regular
establishment he would be obliged to re-
linquisi1 active duty upon reaching tho
age of sixty fou-. There is reason to be-
ieye that General Wheeler would be WILL
ing to forego his rights TO seat In Con-
Sress under existing conditions, provided
he was assured of an appointment to the

RIDDLE FOR SENATOR.
Populist State Chairman Wants Flu
sion Nomination in Marion District.

The deal has been made whereby
Taylor Riddles friends claim to have
corralled fer him the nomination for
state senator in the district composed
of Norris Marion and Chase counties.
The Republican nominee for the place
is George P. MorehouSe of Council
Grove. The district has been Republi-
can for several years, R. T. Battey of
Marion county having been the SEN
ator.
The fusionists have been dickering on
some kind of a deal for several weeks
and the conclusion that it has been con-
summated is sustained by the announce
ment that Riddle is to be the nominee.
Politics seems fascinating to Mr. Rid
die and he will retire from the chair

tee in order to devote all of his time
