H0ME WAS
RANSACKED
Burglars Visited Residence of
E. [. Freeman Wednesday.
WHOLE HOUSE SEARCHED
Trunks Broken Into and Con-
tents Scattered Over Floor.

Tha residence of e. L. Freeman,
painter, at 223 ST. Francis avenue. was
entered by burglars between seven and
ninA o'clock Wednesday evening and
ev4ry room, trunk and bureau drawer
was thoroughly ransacked. The thieves
stained an entrance through rear Win
fow. The family were visiting and the
thieves evidently knew this and took
their time to make a thorough search Of
5the premises.
Nothing except heavy furniture was
left undisturbed. The beds were torn up
and the articles scattered about the
floor. Trunks were broken into and
the contents searched and thrown on the
floor, or tumbled topsy-turvy into the
trunk. The contents of bureau drawers
snd trinket cases were emptied ard
searched and the contents left scattered
about the floor and on top.
The burglar was an old hand at the
business He made a systematic search
of the premises and searched for money
or very value BILE jewelry. These are the
things a wise burglar is sure to take.
money cannot be identified, and it is very
seldom that precious stones can be To-
) Gated. Unless the thief can reach his
quarters without fear of disturbance he
will not take silverware or Jeweiry, as he
cannot melt them and thus destroy their
Identity.
Mr.. Freeman does not know just how
much the thief secured. There were a
few dollars in change about the house
which the burglar carried away and some
little jewelry and an overcoat, but the
value OF the booty secured is not more
than twenty dollars. There was small

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Sugar Beets Will Be Planted Again
This Spring.

G. w. Smith, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, expects to have some sugar
beet seeds within short time and win
make another effort this season to inter-
est the farmers near here in the produc-
ton Of sugar beets in this valley. he
has written to the managers of the
Rocky Ford refinery for seeds and the
experiments will be continued this year
on a larger scale and under better con-
ditions. Last year the seed was not
planted until Juune, while the proper
time for planting is in April or the frst
of May. The patches were not handled
right according to the report of the man
ager, although they sent so-calied ex-
pert to tell the people of this county now
to raise sugar beets. The manager when
here last fall said the expert was not ac-
quainted with the first principles of sugar
beet culture.
This wear the seeds are to be planted
earlier They will not be distributed
among the farmers, but one in each To-
cality will be given some seeds to test.
Each will have a larger quantity and VIII
be asked TO give the beets better atten-
ton and plant them differently to last
year. Last season many OF the farmers
planted the beets in long rows along their
fences The manager of the refinery stat
ed that in order to obtain the best re-
suits the beets should be planted in short
rows and three or four or more together
The beets require close attention until
they have reached almost their full
growth.
Mr.. Smith and those interested In the
project to secure a sugar refinery here
hope to have better results from the tests
| this year. Last year it was clearly shown
| that sugar beets can be raised here and
| with a percentage Of saccharine large
| enough to make refining them profitable

WICHITA is FAVORED.
By Prices of Seats for Concert by the
Thomas Orchestra.

Many times Wichita people have said
that this city never gets larger musical
or theatrical attractions. They have
stated that none of the large companies
or great artists ever come TO Wichita,
and they have no opportunity OF hearing
or seeing them unless they so TO some
other city.
Last season Nordica and Paderewski
appeared here and number Of high class
theatrical attractions This season the
big productions OF When Knighthood
Was in Flower The Chaperones, a
grand opera company. and the Theodore
4 lomas orchestra appear here. Without
doubt there is not city in the country
of less than 10000 inhabitants that has
had an opportunity of seeing so many
high class attractions as Wichita has had
within the past two seasons and still the
people say they do not have the opportun-
fly OF seeing or hearing any good artists.
Next Tuesday evening the Theodore
Thomas orchestra appears at the Toler
Auditorium under the management of o.
A. Boyle. who managed NOrdica's concert
last season. There are any number of
towns in this country Of three and four
times the population Of Wichita that have
never been blessed with a concert by the
Thomas orchestra within their borders.

CHARTER WAS ISSUED.
Yesterday to Country Club of This
City.

Thecha rter which makes the Country
club corporation was issued yesterday
in Topeka and will be here probably to-
day. This club has EXISTED as an organ
ization for years but in order TO vote AMI
sell bonds to raise money for the new club
house on College Hill it was necessary II
incorporate and secure charter. Bonds
amounting TO over $500 have been sub-
scribed for by the members and will be
taken at once. The sale of bonds is not
restricted to members and it is expected
that a large amount will be bought by
outsiders who are looking for investment
and who are also interested in the future
OF the club. A new set OF plans have been
drawn which, while they follow the idea
Of the former plans, are more elaborate
and much more satisfactory. They pro
vide for every convenience and if they
are accepted by the building committee
which NETS tonight, the club will have
the finest club house in the west. One
fact has been decided upon and that is,
the building will be low and rambling
with many windows and porches and thet
IL will be of the old colonial style. AT the
meeting tonight it is expected that the
committee will decide fully upon the
plans for the structure. When this is
done work will begin Immediately.

PAID AFTER
FORTY YEARS
Col. Snyder Receives Money
Earned in Civil War.
UNCLE SAM SURE PAY
Had Forgotten the Govern
ment Owed.

Col J. w. Snyder yesterday received
notice from the auditor of the war de-
partment that he could expect a voucher
for s5s5s. due Col. Snyder for service in
the Federal army during the war of the
rebellion.
Col. Snyder was the commander of the
Ninth New York artillery throughout the
war. The auditors report states that an
error was made in the muster rolls dur
ing the year 1864, which had just been
located, and that the government owed
him S5S.56 for service. This sum is Tor
regular pay and officers allowance dur
ing that year.
This notice came as a surprise TO COL
Snyder. For forty years he has lived
happy and eventful life in blissful ignor-
ance that the United States government
owed him half a hundred dollars for ser
vices. The government did not know it,
either, until a short time ago, when the
clerks discovered tn error. Uncle sam Is
sure pay. Sometimes il takes few
| weeks to collect bills, but if the account
| is reasonable and<j just any one will bank
on the creditor getting his money some
| time. Col. Snyder did not know he had
| an account with the government and was
greatly surprised When a letter caIle
showing that he had not received his full
pay and allowance during his years OF
| service.
Col. Snyder has lived in Wichita but q
| short time. He came here from Guthrie,
| o. T., few weeks ago and purchased
| property and will make his future home
| here. Col. Snyder was one of the plo-
neers of Guthrie. He went to Oklahoma
with the opening ana grew up with the
| colntry, watching 1t grow from path
| less prairie studded here and there with
| clump of blackjacks, into a fertile and
| prosperous farming country. He has held
| many positions of Importance in Guthrie
| and was elected city treasurer of Guthrie
| at the first municipal election. Through
| out his residence in Oklahoma he has had
| great faith in Wichita and for years has
| wanted to make it his home and at the
| first opportunity he moved his family

LIKES STANTON COUNTY.
Early Settler of Stanton County
Praises Il.

II. Williams, one of the early settlers
of Stanton county, Kan, was in the city
yesterday calling on old friends. Mr..
Williams is a cattleman and settled in
Stanton county, which is on the Colo
RADIO line, in 1856. There is not railroad
in the county and there are only 100 vot-
ers within its limits. but that does not
keep Mr.. Williams from thinking it is
one of the best counties in the state.
He has large ranch in the county and
besides raising large number of cattle
yearly, he and numerous other farmers
have begun the cultivation of broom
corn. They find it a very paying crop
when the price of land is considered.
Land can be had in almost any quantity
for 81 per acre. The crop of broom corn
has averaged in the past few years about
one ton to seven acres OF land, and 1t
s,lls for about $50 per ton, which would
make over 81 to &c acre on H-per-acre

CHARTER is SECURED.
Capita! of New North and South Line
Is Given at S2,50O,0 900.

The second north and south railroad
proposition in which Wichita is interest
ed has secured a charter from the state
of Kansas. with capital of S2,500,OoO. The
Topeka Capital tells Of the issuance OF
the charter as follows:
The Kansas, Nebraska and Gulf Rail-
way company, which proposes to con-
struct a line north and south through
Kansas, beginning in Republic county
ARID extending through Cloud, Ottawa,
Saline, Dickinson, Mcpherson, Marion,
Harvey Sedgwick and Cowley counties,
was Incorporated yesterday by the state
scharter board. II has a capital of $500
0o0 1t is said that the road is to be built
for purely speculative purposes. 1t
crosses the wheat belt of the state, and
will be a valuable feeder 10 any railroad
system. It would be of peculiar value to
the Missouri Pacific, to connect its north
ern and southern lines, or to either the
Chicago and Northwestern or the Bur-
lington.
John Lambert. the head of the Illinois
Steel company. at Joliet, H., is the man
who is putting in the money to build the
road. He can supply his own rails and
q great deal of the equipment, and will
be able to construct the road at rock
bottom figures. He proposes to sell it TO
whatever company offers the best price
1t is thought that there is no doubt of
ready sale for the road, but even If
this should not be the case, il would
probably prove a profitable investment
conducted as an independent line, and
could easily be extended from the lakes
to the gulf.
The directors of the company are: II
, F. Redding, Morton Wollman, Samue
w. Jordan George f. Wolfe, Walter q
Humphrey and J. E. Murphy. OF Kansas
