THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight in Kentucky, and con-
tiuued fair tomorrow.

Judging from the expressions of the
Republican candidates the campaign
in Kentucky this year will be based on
whether or not the people want pro-
gressive state. The Republican can
didates leave no doubt as to where
they stand. They are for commercial
progress, and a rule suggested by some
Of them for levyipg taxes is diametric-
ally opposed to the policy carried out
by the Democrats, and is to tax moth
ing in such manner as to drive it
from the state or keep it from coming
here. The Democratic policy is to tax
everything as much as possible in
order to have more money to waste in
the extravagances, CRAFTS and sinecures
.of corrupt state government. The
Democratic nope Of creating dissension
p the Republican ranks as the only
means of winning this November will
never be realized. The best Of feel
ing prevails in the Republican party
and bids fair to continue to do so.
The promise is for drawing thousands
Of votes from the Democratic party
and polling the bulk Of the independ-
emit vote for the Republican party.
Nothing could have shown more
clearly to the people of the state the
demora.ized condition of their govern
ment than the fight waged in Demo
cratic ranks. They have succeeded in
snbwing up one another to such an
extent that even If the factions could
be harmonized, which there seems no
hope Of accomplishing, the people
have had their eyes opened to such an
extent that victory for all or any OF
the Democratic cliques would be i'm
possible.

Small crowds were assem- bled before the doors of some of the other savings institutions also. 1t was observed that most of those in line were working people and many or them women whose savings were n heavy. Owing to the action taken last night by the officials of the eight trust companies doing business in St Louis requiring thirty and sixty days no- tices of intention to withdraw funds, depositors were not able to get any money. All they could do was to de clare their intention of withdrawing their deposits at expiration of the time limit.

BUSY BURGLARS.
Visited Homes On Spencer Ave-
 nue Yesterday.
GOT AWAY WITH JEwELRY.

Apartments of J. R. Bassett and the
 Missed Dunn Ransacked-Only a
 Small Boy in the House at the Time
 The Man Used Master Key to
 Enter the Houses.
 An enterprising burglar visited the apartments of J. R. bassett and the slsrers Ann. Kate and Mary Dunn at sl2sSpencer avenue yesterday afternoon. The Bassetts are minus various items Of jewelry, consisting of diamond ear rings, finger rings, a gold watch, stick pin and a brooch, and the Dunn girls have missed about $1O worth of sim liar effects.
 The visit to the premises was made in the afternoon, while MT and Mrs Bassett were at the theater. A small boy, nephew of Mrs Bassett, was in the front room of the apartments look ing out on Spencer avenue at the time, and he thought he heard some noise as though a person was walking from room to room. But supposing 1t was member of the family he paid no at tention to it. Upon arriving home the Bassetts found all the doors open, but finding their nephew there this did not seem to them as strange. 1t was not until about 10 o'clock, when they were retiring, that Mrs Bassett observing that her toilet affairs on her bureau seemed topsy turvy, that the presence of the burglar was actually observed. Then glance at the sidehoard where there were several pieces of silver cor roborated the evidence observed in the bedroom, and search revealed the loss of the articles mentioned. Infor- nation was immediately sent to .4-e police.
 Meanwhile the Dunn sisters had com municated to the police, for they had discovered their loss before Mrs Bas- sett discovered hers. The Dunn girls keep roomers and work in the factory also. They keep their rooms all locked and on account of the nature of their business have not accustomed themselves to keeping articles of any value in the house during their ab- sence.
 The burglar was a man. He was seen by the woman living opposite to the Bassetts leaving the apartments. He gained admittance to the house with a master key. The police are at work on the matter.
