ESCAPED alive.
Two Burglars Secure Mrs. Kel-
Iam's SilverWare.
Frightened Away Without Booty
by Young Men.

Burglars entered and attempted to
rob the residence of Mrs. T. J. Kellam.
1888 Western avenue Sunday morning at
about one O'Clock.
The burglars We're two in number but
did not succeed in carrying anything of
value away from the house although
they had collected nearly all the silver
ware in the dining room and had it piled
together on the dining room table. It is
supposed that they intended to make a
bundle of the valuables in the dining
room table cloth.
Kurtz Kellam arrived home at about
by Roland Medlicot. They Immediately
retired but before going to sleep they
heard unusual sounds in the rooms be-
low and arTning themselves with rifles,
descended the stairs.
The rouse was in darkness and the
young men separated to look in the
various parts of the house for the men,
Mr.. Medlic.,t went to the rear part Of
the house and discovered the men in the
dining room making ready to tie up
their bundle of plumber before leaving
the house. He shouted to Mr.. KeiIam
who Immediately went to Medlicot's as
Sistance.
In going to the rear of the house he
took a roundabout way through the
drawing rooms. 1t turned out that he
was fortunate in doing so as the men
attempted to pass through that room
he would have been taken at disad-
vantage.
The burglars escaped and no shots
were fired.
It is supposed that the burglars en-
tered the house during the absence of
the occupants of the residence and sue
ceeded in gathering together a large
quantity of valuables before hearing the
noise made by the young men entering
the house They then probably decided
that it was best to remain quiet until
every one in the house was asleep be-
fore attempting to make their exit. They
were, however, wrong in their calcula~-
tions and in making ready to leave the
house disturbed the supposed sleepers
and in that manner attracted attention
to Themselves.

McKeever and it is almost strange that
they should have been thrown into con-
sternation when the report came that
the Baker people had united on Mr.:
Barker and that MIR Burton himself
should lead a stampede to Barker.
There will be a. Burton conference this
evening when it will be definitely de-
terlmined whether or not the Burton peo-
nile Will snnnart Barker but the result
of the conference is a foregone con-
eIusion-the Burton people will support
Barker.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 31.-WHEAT-The
trade has at last been moved to action
and an advance of &c has been scored.
Liverpool, while seemingly not getting ex-
cited over our advance of Saturday,
showed an early advance of 11sd. Specu-
lators who have been so successful in
stocks have come into the grain market
with their bhllish proclivities and bought
wheat right and left. The northwest re-
ceipts were large and had tendency to
weaken local holders. who took their prof
its early. The long wheat which has been
bought during the past few days by
their effort to get back their wheat early
has changed for the better. Bulls are in
BILE.
CORN-The feature in corn has been the
covering of shorts by Phillips. The market
has been kept. Liverpool is 1zd2sd higher,
cash demand has been slow Receipts, 574
cars, with $50 estimated for Wednesday.
Clearanees, b27. eco bushels The visible in
crease, 1888 900 bushels The local stocks
increased 361 600 bushels.
OATS-There has been an improved de-
covered futures. The market has been
firm and decidedly active.
OVISIONS-PrOvision have been
strong, led by an advance in pork. The
small stocks of this product have started
shorts. At its best, pork was up 40c. lard
and ribs up 50I19c. There followed some
recession from the top on selling of lard
by the long interests and selling of the
whole list by Swift and other packers.

vices, the president. or rather his rep
resentatives have seen to it that the
Washington influence has been made
to count for all it is worth.
The dispatch continues.
Chester I Long, who has been men
toned as one of the most probable dark
horses in the senatorial race, is spending
his vacation quietly at his home in this
city. He refuses to discuss the situa-
ton, but it is absolutely certain that as
long as there is a possible chance for
Baker, Long will not permit the use of
his name. He denies that he has In
terested himself in the contest. But the
facts differ. Bowersoek also refuses to
talk, but, like Long, he is a part Of the
federal patronage machine, and it
would be unreasonable to presume that
such of the candidates for federal
patronage as desire the Endorsement of
either Mr.. Long or Mr.. Bowersock are
not thoroughly familiar with the fact
that senator Bakers relations with the
two congressman are very close.
Indeed. those Kansans who have not
had trouble with Baker which can not
be settled, are not going to be led into
anything that would be construed as OPP
position to him. To oppose Baker would
mean to any of them the loss of in
fiuence in dealing out federal patron

It is difficult to understand Mr.. Low s

clare himself2" are questions which are
upon the lips of every politician. 1t may
be that Mr. Low told The Burton peo-
pie that they must endorse Barker If
he did it is sufficient reason why they
should do so. Both sides irembIe at
Mr.. Lows smallest word
A Washington dispatch says:
Washington. d. G., Dec. 30-The
ing the senatorial fight at Topeka with
keen interest. With the exception of
CaIderhead and Miller and possibly one
other, eveEv Kansan in Washington is
Baker partisan. Every wire with these
exceptions that reaches home has been
worked for its full strength to defeat
Burton. While none of the Kansas con-
tingent here is willing to talk for pub
LEGATION. it can be truthfully said that
the most of them have done everything
in their power to return Baker. While
the Burtonites deny it, it is neverthe-
less true that President Mckinley has
interested himself in the fight. All of
the postmasters in Kansas, or nearly all,
who will get q. second term have en-
listed in Bakers interest
THE presidents friendship for Baker
is easily explained. The senator has been
a faithful follower of administration
policies. Baker has successfully dis
covered what the administration de-
sired in the senate, and exerted his in
huence in that direction He has prob
ably oftener asked himself what McKin-
ley wanted than what was right. The
intense craftsmanship of the president
found warm support in Baker.
