DAYLIGHT ROBBER.
Makes Raid on DR.. Minney's
Safe but is Fooled.

DR.. J. E. Minney had an encounter
with a bold daylight safe robber in his
office over the Matthews & Drechsel shoe
store at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Dr.
Minney left at noon and went to lunch,
leaving his Office open. When he re-
turned he took the money from his safe,
leaving the outer steel door open, and
took 1t across the street to the bank
He returned in a few minutes, and as
he was ascending the stairway he heard
a noise in the Office He stepped into
the room and discovered a stranger
standing in the room next to the one In
which the safe stands. DR.. Minney at
first thought it was a patient and spoke
to the man.
Il wish you would examine my eye, .
said the robber. advancing toward the
physician. His actions made the doctor
suspicious, and he walked into the room
to examine the safe. It was evidently
the intention Of the trapped rObber to
strike Dr.. Minney when he got within
reach, but he at once saw that the physi-
clan was on his guard and made a dash
for the stairway He was pursued by
DIR. Minney to the foot Of the stairs,
where he turned a corner and disap-
peared at a gait which left the doctor
far behind.
The pursuer gave up the chase and re-
turned to take an inventory. He found
that the inner door had been cut open
and small wooden drawer containing
'e'-~eN' 70 PCS feAS sun as ~
money in the safe, as it had been taken
to the bank and was being deposited
while the rObber was ransacking the safe.
but the papers were very valuable. and
DR.. Minney at once came to the State
Journal office and inserted an advertise
ment to the effect that he would pay a
liberal reward for the return of the papers
and ask no questions. He thought that
the rObber had stuffed them into his peck
cts before making his escape, but when he
returned he made a closer search of the
room and found drawer and papers behind
the door. where the robber had thrown them
when he heard the doctors approach. DR..
Minney then called policeman. The safe
was SLIGHTLY damaged.

How Hickerson Got a Place on Street
Force

street man by the name of Kicker
son was discharged today by Street
Commissioner Griggs for an unusual Of
hnse. He has for three months been
Understanding Claud Horton and had
drawn and signed Claud Horizons
checks. It is claimed. and has appeared
on the commissioners books under that
name. It was only by accident that
Mr. Griggs discovered the facts in the
case.
The Third Ward Republican club rec
commended Horton for a job on the
force It appears that Horton already
had q job, and he made a deal with
his friend Hickerson by which Kicker
son took the Endorsement of the club,
and used 1t to get a place on the force
Il had supposed that Horton was the
mans real name, said Mr.. Griggs to-
day, and SO did Horn. the foreman Of
the gang in which Hickerson worked
Hickerson has been guilty of forgery in
getting Horizons checks cashed, and
could be prosecuted. He claims that he
supposed that everybody knew that he
was working in Horizons place, and says
that he made no secret of it. 1t was
enough of a secret so that neither Mr.
Horn nor myself caught on

TALK OF EXTENDING.
Vinewood People Would Build New
Street Railway.

Frank G. Kelley, the manager of the
Vinewood Park road. has made the an
nouncement that as soon as the Vine
wood Park road completes its proposed
line to Vinewood park. it viii ask for
a franchise to occupy other streets in
the city, and viii put in line of road
way.
1t seems a little queer that E. w.
Wilson, the owner of the road, should
not have made this announcement him
self when he was in Topeka last week,
instead of leaving it for his subordinate
to tell about as soon as the owners of
the road left. But the Vinewood road
has a queer way of doing things, any
way.

LENT.

We are now within the season Of
Lent. A word or two Conformation
and reflection may be not unprofit-
able.
The name is derived from the Anglo
Saxon, Lcnctcn, or Spring, and is
taken to designate the fast prepara-
tory to the celebration of Easter,
which is the great day of the Church
year. As we learn from Irenaeus, A.
D. $50, and Tcrtullian, A. D. 200, the
observation of Lent is a very ancient
custom. At first it was for forty
hours, referring to the time from the
Crucihxion to the Resurrection; then
forty days, commemorative of the
forty days fast of Moses, Elijah and
Our Lord. These forty days of fast
ing do not include Sunday, which is
always feast day. The time from
Ash Wednesday to Easter is therefore
forty-six days and this year extends
from February - to March 80. 1t
was, in the days of the undivided
Church, universally period of more
or less abstinence from all food until
evening, or else from flesh and wine,
and was generally accompanied with
the cessation from everything having
festal character. The services in
the churches were of a more sombre
character, the pictures were yelled,
the organ silent.
Lent, like many another good and
useful thing, has habits abuses; and,
in the minds of some, prejudice has
arisen against it. Yet it is based
upon a fundamental need of MANS
three-fold nature for rest and refresh
ment. Some, who put the body
above the spirit, seem to think there
is merit in the mere outward obser-
vance and fall into bare Journalism.
To others it is a fashion, a convenient
resting place from excess of gaiety.
But to many earnest, truth-seeklng
souls it is time of real spiritual rest
and development, true means of
grace.
Taking the matter from an entirely
worldly standpoint, there should be
even for those who care more for
this life's pleasure, a time for rest for
body and mind and three-fourths of
the civilized world have fixed upon
Lent as the proper time.
This period gives the church her
opportunity, by frequent public
services and most earnest calls for
repentance and selfdenial and to
more constant private devotions, to
appeal to that which is best in man;
by leading men in the footsteps of
the Saviour through his forty days
of fasting and temptation in the
wilderness, the week of His Passion,
and the day of his Crucifxion, to pre-
pare them to receive with heart.joy
the glad tidings of the Resurrection
morn.

PROPOSED NEW COIN.

1t is said that Representative Cum
mings, of New York, will introduce a
bill which Andrew H. Green is the
author, authorizing the addition of
two and one-half cent piece to our
list of coins. In speaking of the
matter, Mr.. Green said:
THAT the influence of the old
shilling and sixpence seemed indelible
in this country, and mentioned the
custom of fixing prices at a shilling
equivalent, as 371a cents, for ex-
ample.
While this hereditary reason for a
fractional cent coin, has lost none of
its potency, new and more power
full reason has been produced by
modern economic conditions. The
progress of science and invention has
revolutionized prices and created a
demand for subsidiary coin between
the cent and 5 cent pieces.
The half cent, whenever required by
the old shilling piece, is always part
of sum of which 21a cents and some
other convenient amounts are the
components.
Another fact pointing to the] 212
cent-piece as the most desirable de-
nomination between 1 and 5 cents is
the marked and growing tendency
which believe the existence of a 212
cent would materially encourage
Half fares for the workingman going
to and returning from their work
would be great boon to them"
