THIEVES ARE CLEVER.
Rob at Will Near Pittsburg and
Elude Capture.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 2O-There is a
remarkable amount of thieving going on
in this county. The thieves manage to
elude detection. Their work has ranged
from petty holdups on the street. to the
most refined safe cracking. 1t has not
been confined to any particular locality
although the southern part of the coun-
ty seems to have suffered most.
At Cherokee no less than a dozen bur-
glaries have been committed and the
Missouri Pacific depot there has been
broken into half a dozen tif:=sss within
three weeks. Cherokee merc3aISts have
put on special watchmen at night and
some are keeping private watchmen in
their stores.
In the rural districts, farmers have
been robbed, held up on the highway,
and their homes burglarized, and in one
or two instances farmers and their fam
lilies have been chloroformed in their
beds, while the robbing was committed.
At Beulah, several times, stores were
robbed by bold bandits. Farm houses
throughout Sheridan, Crawford and
Grant townships have been robbed, and
in spite of the precautions of the Anti
Horsethief association not a trace of the
thieves has been found.

DOG WEIGHS HALF POUND.
Miner from Old Mexico Has Bright
Little Pet.

Wellington. Kas.. Nov. Ozone of
the smallest dogs in the world was
brought here this week from Old
Mexico by Ernest Gilmore, a miner
from that country; he had carried the
dog from there in his inside coat
|pocket. It is a white pup of the
Chihuahua breed. about four months
.Dld, and weighs but little over half a
pound 1t is full grown, but may be-
come heavier. 1t resembles in many
ways a medium-sized rat, the hair
ron both being straight and short, while
the dog is not quite as long as a rat.
1t is also one of the smartest little fell
lows ever seen. as it has been taught
to sit up, speak. sneeze, jump through
the hoop. and the many other things
common to trick dogs.
Gilmore found the dog near his camp
and has kept him to bring home to his
parents. to show them his ''only com
panion," as he calls him, as the dog
did not see anybody from the time he
found him until he started home with
him

WRECK NEAR oLATHE.
Santa Fe Freight Engine Crashes
Into Rear of Caboose.


Olathe, Kan, Nov. 20.-A northbound
freight train on the Santa Fe crashed
into the caboose of a stock train stand=
ing on the track near the freight depot
in this city Thursday and fifteen stock
men in the caboose narrowly escaped
death.
The crash came with such force that
a car loaded with cattle, about five cars
ahead, gave way and with it's load of
cattle was ground up, thereby breaking
the force against the caboose and saw
ing the passengers.
r. M. Oils, a stockman from Edger-
ton this county, tried to escape out the
front of the caboose and was caught
between it and a car and one leg was
cut off below the knee, and the other
foot was so mashed that it will require
amputation Life was almost extinct
when he was placed aboard the train
for the Topeka hospital, in charge of
DR.. Hastings, the company's local
physician. The passengers who remain
ed in the caboose were only slightly in
iured.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless it is Digested

Nearly everyone will admit that as
a nation we eat too much meat and
too little of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks. and in fact everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor OCCUPATIONS,
grains. milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out
door manual labor can live on a heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule. meat once a day
is sufficient for all classes of men, wo-
men and children, and grains, fruit
and vegetables should constitute the
bulk of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion. and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to
assimilate them properly.
1t is always best to get the best
results from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs. and several years expert
ence have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be a very safe. pleasant and
effective digestive and a remedy
which may be taken daily with the
best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
" be called a patent medicine, as they
do not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ, but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stom-
achs lack, pepsin, diastase, and by
stimulating the gastric glands increase
the natural secretion of hydrochloris
acid.
People who make a daily practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-
r-or@1 a&e a o-l7 al
to have perfect digestion. which means
perfect health.
There is no danger of forming an in
furious habit, as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
tives; cocaine, morphine and similar
drugs have no place in a stomach
medicine, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's are certainly the best known and
most popular of all stomach remedies.
Ask YOUR druggist for 50-cent
package OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and after a weeks use note the i'm

ARE GRANTED LICENSES.
BARRIERS Board Have Given Them to
Hooker and Harper.

F. H. Harper and w. NJ. Hooker, the
two colored BARRIERS who were arrested
last month on the charge of violating
the state barber law. are now in pos
session of licenses to barber issued by
the state BARRIERS board.
When these men were up for trial,
their cases were dismissed. upon advice
of the attorney general and then they
were advised to send 81 to the BARRIERS
board and ask for a license.
This they did and now have this piece
of authority. When the law went into
effect the BARRIERS of the state were
given until September 1 to send in for
their licenses, and at the same time
sending 81 to cover expenses. The two
colored men neglected to do this until
after the time had expired. Then their
money was returned to them with the
information that they would have to
stand an examination. Then came their
arrest and discharge, as stated.
Just why the board could issue a IL
cense in November and not in Septem-
Der, is not known.-Arkansas City Trav-

BID FOR o'BRIEN AND RYAN
London Sporting Club Offers $1,000
for Middleweights.

New York, Nov. Blowing to the lack
abroad of available middleweights able to
give Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia a fight,
the National Sporting club of London
looks to America for worthy opponent
for the clever Quaker Last night o. Brien
received a cablegram from Matchmaker
A. F. Bettison of the noted foreign club
offering a purse of ST. 900 with expenses for
a 20 round bout between O'Brien and Tom
my Ryan. The club is prepared to hold
the contest within two months.
OBrien has not answered the message
yet, foH he believes that he can earn three
times that amount by whipping Ryan in
the United States. Ryan contends that he
is the legitimate middlewefght champion
of the world and that he must be defeated
before any other pugilist can be regarded
as the premier in that division. O'Brien,
upon his return from England recently,
challenged Ryan or FitzsimmonS, but
neither has so far RESPONDED.

is in favor of the White Stockings.
These are the two men who were

Western Leaguers to jump their con-
tracts and remain with the Denver club

men to the local club once, and then

After mature deliberation the captains
