SAFE BLOWN AT
WHITEWATER

Whitewater, Aug. 2S.-The postoffice
here was broken open and a consider
able amount of cash was taken. The
lock on the outer door of the building
was picked and the glass of the private
inner door was smashed, the burglars
thus gaining entrance to the office.
They then bored a hole i'll the safe
door, and blew it open with dynamite.
They took $500 in currency, but left
the stamps untouched, although there
were several hundred dollars worth
that they might have taken. The
burglary must have occurred between
IL and l O'Clock yesterday morning.
The night Waterman visited the place
at -, and everything seemed all right.
The lamp was burning as usual, and
was found burning yesterday morning
at 6 o'clock when the robbery was dis
covered No trace or clue of the rob
berry has been found and the police say
that there was not even a stranger in
town. Every possible effort is being
made to apprehend the thieves, and
telegraphic messages are being sent in
every direction.

BRONCO BUSTER IN CONGRESS,
Oklahoma Sends Bird Mcclure, a
Mighty Man, to Represent Her.

Kansas City Jounal-The Hon. Bird
S. Mcguire is man after ROoseVelt's
own heart. Mr. Mcclure when he
takes the oath in Washington next
winter will be known as the very best
all-rOund athlete and wrestler in CON
gress. He is five feet eleven inches
tall, weighs 1876 pounds, has chest on
him as big as a barrel and is superbly
and gracefully built. He is strong and
sound physically as he is mentally,
and has never smoked or chewed, nor
tasted drop of Intoxicating liquors,
and he never uttered an oath till he
became a politician, which was when
he became about ten years old.
The new delegate from Oklahoma
has been in politics pracucally since
the day he first began to think. He
was born in Illinois Oct 10, 1865. His
parents, while he was an infant, went
to Randolph county, Missouri where
his sixteenth year. Then they all en-
igrated to Chautauqua county, Kan
sas But young Bird gave up farming,
went on the range and roamed the
country over as a cowboy from the
Rockies to the river and from Kansas
to the gulf, This was the days when
there were plenty Of bad Indians, des-
Iperadoes and big game, and MCGUIRE
developed into as nervy bronco bus
ter and as skllful a marlsman as ever
rode the trail.
But this was life for business and
not pleasure for Mcclure. He put the
mohay he made in bank instead of in
poker and whisky and came out $1,10O
! to the good after two and Une-halI
years Of this stormy career. Then in
/ 1884 he went to the normal at Empo-
ria. Two years afterward he attended
! for year the law school at Lawrence
! but off and ON he taught school and
continued at thar profession until 1889
! teaching at JCnesbulg and at Sedan
the county seat of ChaGtauqua county
Kansas.
! In the spring Of 1889 he was elected
county attorney on the republican tick
ct. holding the position for four years
a part of which time he also served as
mayor of Sedan. At one election he
was the only man of his party elected
and at all other times he ran ahead
Of his ticket. and was famous in Kan
sas as being the youngest person who
ever held the Office Of mayor or county
attorney in the state,
Mcclure went to Oklahoma in the
fall of 1898, and his friends say that
this move was made with the avowed
intention Of running for congress. His
home is at Pawnee. From 1896 to 1870.
he was assistant United States dis
trict attorney, and perhaps has SEN
