THROUGH The WEST WINDOW
Five Dollars and a Watch Taken
From ,. G.. Samson.

The house and Office Of Mr.. J. G. Samp-
son, the coal dealer on West Third street
was entered by burglars yesterday morn
Ing between twenty minutes til four and
seven O'Clock. The burglars entered
the rooms through the west window of
the Office and from appearances the man
must have been sleeping in a hay NOW OF
straw stack and there was some straw
and hay on the floor under the window.
The man or men got away with s. and
fine watch.
To a reporter for the Eagle Mr.. Samp-
son said: II awoke about four o'clock
and lay in bed for a while thinking that
ii was about daylight and then got up

DIED OF TUBERCULOSIS
Leah Porter Has Lived Here AbOut
Eleven Years

a. m. yesterday Of tuberculosis, at the
home Of her aunt, Mrs. L. F. Kindal, 1863
North Topeka avenue. The funeral ser
vices win be held at o'clock today at the
residence. Rev. c. 2. Bradt, pastor Of
the First Presbyterian church, will cons
duct the services.
The deceased is the daughter Of J. A.
Porter, and was born at Ripley. Ohio
Her parents died when she was a very
little girl and she and her brothers came
to live with their aunt. She has been in

not and the whole affair went up IN

not and the whole affair went up IN
I smoke.
The restaurant keepers claim that they
are not making any money at the present
time on account Of the high prices of
meat and vegetables charged by the
grocery stores and butcher shops of the
city, and so they thought the only way
to make both ends meet was to raise
the prices. Some Of the restaurants be-
gan knocking down on their meals, but
they found that this did not pay, as they
were losing some Of their customers. The
men who go to the restaurants want so
much stuff and when they do not get it
kick, and most Of them would rather
pay cents more than to have the quail
ity and quantity Of the meal cut down.
Some Of the restaurants are charging
few cents extra for side dishes, but most
Of them have found that this plan does
not work, because the people seem to
think they are being cheated and would
rather pay cents extra and get the
side dishes without the extra charge.
The restaurants are certainly not max
ing the money they did a few weeks ago.
Most Of them say they are making a
profit. They could not make any big
money at the price some vegetables are
at present. Potatoes are now over 81
a bushel. while a short time ago they
were worth but 50 cents.
When Mr.. Unger went to the restaur-
ants about raising the price he was told
by the proprietor that he was making
enough money and would not raise the
price. The man who wanted hina to raise
the price of meals said that the restaur-
ant keepers must have been robbing the
people. The following is the petition
that was circulated among the restaurant
keepers the first of the week. It was
signed by eight restaurant keepers:
ITO the Public: Owing to the constant
advance in prices for all supplies used in
our business. we the undersigned, find we
are compelled to raise our price 3 cents
on meals and . cents on board. We be-
Heve this slight advance will be cheer
fully met by our patrons.

WOOD ACTED WRONG
That Is Consensus of Opinion
in Wichita.
MISS BEAL SHUT OUT
Her Sister Expresses Indigna-
ton Over II.

Jake Wood of Weatherford, is not very
popular in Wichita since he "hogged"
Matte Beal out of all the land adjoin-
ing Lawton. All the women of the Peer
less Princess scolded and called him
names yesterday and if he gets any Of
fers of marriage they viii not be from
Wichita women. The consensus of opin-
ion is that he played Miss BeaI q scurvey
trick.
IF my husband would DO what Wood
did" said a prominent member of Hy-
patia, It would apply for divorce from
him. Technically. Mr. Wood may have
the right to do what he did, but it was
morally and ethically wrong"
Il don't think that Mr.. Wood did right
in taking his claim the way he did," said
Miss Dolly Beal to a reporter for The
Eagle last night. ''Of course, he had a
right to do this, but don't think he
should have treated my sister the way he
did.
Miss Beal was very indignant about
MI hOOu ldAlIS all the ldIlU duJOluluE
the townsite Of Lawton and shutting her
sister out. All her sister could do was to
TAX the claim just south Of his.
II don't know what TO think about that
man Wood" said Mrs. BeaI, the mother
of the girl "'He had perfect right to
take the claim as he did, but do not be-
licve he is a gentleman, or he would not
have taken it that way. He shuts my
daughter clear out of the tcwnsite."
This was all Mrs. BeaI would say, ex-
cept that If there was any way to make
the man take his claim in another posi-
ton she would be willing to try it. She
had been informed that the interior de-
partment would help her daughter, but
did not think it was worth while to try
It as 1t would probably take quite awhile
to get the department to take up her
claim, even if the department could help
her any. Miss Matte Beal was expected
to come home last night, but did not ar
rive. She has probably stopped at her
brothers home in Arkansas City.

WILL QUIT KANSAS
Jerry Simpson viii Settle in
Oklahoma.
HOME IN NEW COUNTRY
Announcement Made at Stock
Yards Yesterday.

Announcement was made at the stock
yards yesterday that Jerry Simpson is
going to the new country to make Okla
homa his home. He viii close out his
cattle commission business in this city
and already his office furniture is on the
market for sale.
When Mr.. Simpson came to the city he
bought a fire residence property in the
stock yards ana packing house district,
and he secured ground on which TO build
a fine house for his son, Leslie. But
when Leslie quit the cattle ranch and
came to Wichita he was like a fish out
Of water. The change from the ranch in
Barber county to Wichita did not suit
him, and he did not want a new house
here. 1t was supposed when the new
country was opened to settlement that
8Ir. Simpson would secure a cattle ranch
down there for his son, but nobody
though Of him moving to Oklahoma per-
manently.
Mr.. Simpson could not be reached last
night for a personal confirmation Of the
announcement made at the stock yards
His friends, however, say that there is
no doubt concerning his intention Of set
Ting in the new country.
It is hard TO imagine Jerry Simpson
leaving the Seventh district after a con-
spicuous career IN it or more than a de-
cade, during which time he became one
Of the best known public men in the
United States. It viii be difficult to as
sociate his name with Oklahoma after its

years ago.

it IS doubtful. as he stated some time ago
that he had quit politics for good.
