Thieves Went Through the Safe
of Frank ROdfus Last Night.
Had the Combination Evidently and
Did Not Have to Use Force to
Open the Safe.
POSSIBLY HID IN BUILDING

Thieves opened the safe at the
Frank u. Rodfus grocery, corner Fifth
and Jacxsou streets. last night be-
tween the hours of 10 p. m. and a.
m. ana secured between s175 and
s2c0 in silver and bills. The police
were notified of the thefe Immediately
upon discovery and are quietly atwork
on the job with hopes Of securing a
clue which will lead to the arrest of
the thieves.
Mr.. Rodfus stated this morning that
he retired al 10 o'clock last night az
ter having closed Lis Place Of business
tight.
He lives over the store and had there
been any great noise thinks he would
have been awakened. Mr.. Mace Bod
enheimor was in the store just before
he closed and heard a noise in the
rear. Both Bodenheimer and Mr.. Rod
fus went back TO investigate but found
nothing and. supposed ii to have been
melting ice falling down in the refrig-
orator. Mr.. Rodfus then retired and
arose again at this morning and pre-
pared to open his store for business.
He noticed one window blind pulled
down and knew something was wrong
ns he never left his blinds down at
night. He then wen to his safe and
found it securely locked but one of the
drawers lying on the floor nearby. He
quickly opened the safe and found
that one other drawer had been taken
away and that he had lost somewhere
between sl55 and $500. The second
drawer was found lying in Rev. Wulf-
mans yard, several squares away.
The woodwork about the drawers had
been cut away and the lock pulled out.
One drawer contained seven or eight
pounds of silver and the other money
in bills.
Mr.. Rodfus thinks the thieves were
in the building when he closed as they
could not have gotten In after he had
closed very easily. He also thinks
they knew the combination OF the safe
as no force was used in opening it.
He has not boon able to state exactly
how much he lost but says it will
amount to within the above figures.
The police have been expecting dai-
ly to hear of some robbery ever since
the blooihounds we're poisoned, and
had kept strict watch out in every
portion of the city. They are of the
opinion that the thieves killed the
dogs so that they could continue their
work without fear from this score.
The officers are exercising every facul-
ty to spprehend the thieves and think
they will be able to secure clue by
night. Captain Henry Bailey made
an inspection of tine building and tho
grounds this morning and made other
inquiries IN the neighborhood and is
hard at work on tho case.
Officers Hurley and Hessian are re-
ported to have seen two negroes near
that place Tuesday night and gave
them quite a chase. Possibly they
might have been the same two who
were waiting to enter the building
and rob the safe.

STORIES SIMPLY INVENTIONS.
st. Petersburg, April 3O-A semi
official note on the subject Of Russian
policy toward Manchu:is, just issued,
characterizes the demands sscribed to
Russia in the dispatches from Pekin
as being simply inventions, as already
cabled to tho Associated Press on the
authority of the Russian Foreign
office.
"No change has occurred, says the
motto, Gin the intentions OF Russia
with reference to Manchuria. The ex-
change of views about to occur be-
tween the Russian minister and the
Chinese government can relate only to
the measures to be adopted for insur-
ing the preservation of order and tran
guilty after tho Russian troops have
marched out of the province.
Russia has absolutely no intention
to place impediments in the way Of
foreign trade"

Russia Will Place no Impedi-

Reports From Pekin Regarding Inten-

STORIES SIMPLY INVENTIONS

Washington. April 9o-The state de-
partment has received dispatch from
AMBASSADOR Mccormick, at st. Peters
burs. to the effect that the Russian
minister for foreign affairs has assured
htm that the published reports of the
proposed convention between Russian
and China relating to .Manohuris are
absolutely incorrect, and that there is
no foundation for the report that Rus
STA demands that China shall refuse,
the requests Of other powers for treaty
ports and consulstes in Manchuria.
He has been assured that the Russian
government has no intention TO ex.
clude other countries from advantages
now enjoyed in Manchuria, or to con
fer executive privileges upon Rus
slams; that the United States may be
sure that nothing will be done to close
doors now open, and that American
commerce and American capital are
those which Russia most desires to at
tract.

Wall Street, New York, April 30
Stooks-Dullness had its effect on the
market again today, and while Wall
street generally was talking quite
bullish, the profess ional traders are
doing most of the buying. Money is
easy and spprehensions Of gold exports
do not seem to be disturbing. So far,
however. outside interest is lacking
and unless interests Of this character
come into the market soon the load Of
securities in Wall street will be too
much for them to carry and there can
be but one outcome to this, and that is
a further sagging In prices, but with
easy money rates the outside public
will undoubtedly come into the mar
ket, and whenever they do the trend
of values is bouni to be upward. I.

DAILY MARKET LETTER.

Chicago. April 30-whest-T
market opened quiet at about yester
days closing prices and fluctuations
were held within q narrow range dur
ing the entire session owing to lack Of
interest. The mshipulative element
appeared 20 have the trading element
bluffed in that few trsde-s were in
oiinod to take the initiative either on
the selling or buying side OF the wheat
market. Feeling in the latter part of
the day was rather mixed, with. not so
many important interests in the mar
tet pending some definite news. The
actual position Of the Armours is be-
ing argued that they are operating on
both sides OF the market in order to
confuse tho outside traders. The
Price Current says there has been
plenty Of moisture over the greater
portion of the belt during the past
week. Rains during the past twenty
four hours in the Northwest, Kansas
