WILL DOUBLE
THEIR CAPACITY
Moore Bros. Make Extensive
Purchases.
SOME LARGE BUILDINGS
Are to be Erected and More
Men Employed.

Moore Bros, proprietor of the Wichita
Stove and Iron company, yesterday pur-
chased of j. w. Sanderson the five~lots
adjoining their property on the north
paying $3.50 for it. The property is very
valuable, and is considered a good invest
rent Ninety-three feet face Mead ave-
nue. and fifty-three feet is on Fifth
avenue
In the next few months the Wichita
stove and Iron foundry will be increased
to twice its present capacity. They will
enlarge their foundry, increase their out
tut and employ more men. Work has al
ready been begun on a large addison TO
the north of the casting room, in which
VIII be placed q large furnace The new
furnace will hold double the quantity of
metal the one used at present does, and
Will be great improvement over it.
IT was formerly located in the Burton
car works. but was never used and was
purchased by the Moore Brothers a short
time ago at bargain.
When the furnace is moved from the
casting room, the space it occupies, which
is about half of the casting room, will be
used for placing moulds.
About % men are employed on an av-
etdge in the foundry, and over 20 fami-
lies in Wichita are dependent upon ii for
their living. Mr. Moore stated yesterday
that the force would be increased to SO
men, just as soon as the foundry is en-
larged. Many people have asked u.s.,
said Mr.. Moore, why We do not put up
larger and more modern buildings. We
have enlarged our foundry as our bust
ness has grown, but have never made
any changes until our trade justified it.
Cur business is founded on firm bust
ness basis. We never take chances and
have improved and will continue to- do so
in proportion to our business. Last year
We did an enormous business furnish
ing building iron for many new towns in
Kansas and Oklahoma, and We feel safe
In increasing our capacity
The Wichita Stove and Iron company
Is the largest foundry in the city, and
has made remarkable growth in the last
two years. For months last fall they
were unable to supply the demand for
building iron and stoves, but with their
increased capacity they expect TO be able
TO supply all their trade.

WAS HELD UP
BY TWO MEN
Mr.. Hunt WayIaid and Robbed
of a Few Cents.
TWO TRAMPS ARRESTED
And are Now in the Police
Station Charged With
the Hold Up.

A man named Hurt, who works in the
fertilizing plant at Dold's packing house
was held up by two men along the Santa
Fe tracks near Twenty-first street about
any money and the two robbers did not
have any guns, but they assaulted him,
and while one held him the other went
through his pockets, but failed to get any
thing but a few cents in change. When
the one man was through with his search
the other released his victim and both
ran away.
Mr.. Hurt gave the alarm TO Frank
Washburn, the North End policeman. who
started on a search for the robbers. Hurt
was a. bic to give fair description of his
assailants and Mr.. Washburn soon found
one of the men This fellow was placed
under arrest and turned over to t. z. T.
Fitzpatrick, special officer. TO take TO
the police station while Washburn hunted
for the other fellow. People who had
seen the two men together earlier in the
evening furnished some information and
Mr.. Washburn thought his man had gone
on north TO the packing houses, and ne
started after him.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was bringing his man
down on the car when at Seventeenth
street the other man got on the car TO
come down town. Some Slances were OK
changed and a small riot was imminent,
but Mr.. Fitzpatrick put an end to it by a
few slight taps over the mans head with
his club. Mr.. Fitzpatrick placed the al
legged robber under arrest, and they are
now at the police station.
They gave their names as King and
May. Both are tramps and have been in
Wichita anu In Jail before. Neither had
guns when arrested. but both are stout
fellows and it would be an easy matter
for them TO assault and overpower man
who was taken unawares. The men are
being held while the police department is
gathering evidence against them.

The next Il romance, brief or long,
Draws with its truth or falsehood near;
And thus. tween poetry and prose,
Though each man holds an ideal height,

In characters wrought to reveal
A page in glad or mournful lay,
In record of nations veal.
Which long ago hath passed away.

TWO TRAINS TAKEN OFF.
Rock Islands New Time Card Shows
Several Changes.

From Fridays Daily.
The new time card on the Rock
island has been issued and the changes
are not what have been predicted for
them. The most sweeping changes is
the taking off of Nos. 80 and 30, the
fast trains on the southwestern

ule of the Golden State Limited, which
will run about twice a week and then
will not stop for passengers in Iowa.
Nos. Is and is, the local trains, have
been changed to Nos. 3 and 4. and will
run Sundays after tomorrow as well as
week days. On the Des Moines and
Keokuk branch the only change is the
addition of the combination passenger
and freight train between Eldon and
