BurguIar at Work
Sarbach's Residence Entefed-Two
Guns Stolen.

Yesterday between IL a IN. and
Z D. III. some one entered the resi-
dence of the Sarbach brothers, IIth
and Kansas avenue, and stole two
shot guns.
The hired girl left the house at
II O'Clock in the morning and when
she returned, she found that the
front door had been opened and ev-
erything i'll the house was in a
topsy turvey condition. Beds had
been torn up, drawers opened and
things disarranged generally. Ex-
animation showed that nothing was
missing except the two shot guns
and some lace curtains which had
evidently been torn down and used
for wrapping the guns.
Part Of the silverware was on the
sideboard and was not disturbed.
The rest was put away in a drawer
which The burglar didn't happen to
find. When Miss Sarbach went
away few weeks ago she packed
up most Of Ire silverware and asked
her brother to bring it up town aud
put it in a safe. The latter had
neglected to do so, SO consequently
it remained locked in the drawer
where il was put. This was the
only drawer that wasn't t opened.
There is no clue yet as to the
guilty party. A party living on
Colorado avenue was at home
sleeping yesterday afternoon. He
heard several knocks at the door
but didn't respond. Then he heard
a key at work on the lock. Before
he could get to the door, the party
outside took alarm and made his
escape. 1t was a negro and ,as he
went west, It is suspected that he
had something to do with the Sar-
bach burglary.

Land Of Opportunity
Time has Come for Great Develop
ment in Indian Territory.

Muskogee. /. r., Sept. THE
time has come. at last when the
white man can secure title to lands
in Indian Territory The next
few months will bring startling
changes in this country, and the
next few years will see it trans
formed into one Of the most popu-
lous and prosperous Of all the
southwestern states land where
industry is sure Of reward.
During the twelve years between
1890 and 1902 immigration into
the territory was naturally light as
not one acre Of land could be bought
from the Indians. The entire
territory was held in common by
the FIVE civilized tribes the Chick
asaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Chero-
KEGS and Seminoles and only be-
cause the tribal governments per-
mitted the leasing of tracts Of lai d
to the whites for agricultural and
grazing purposes was il possible
for any Of the latter to enter there
and earn a livelihood.
In 1892 the United States govern
ment took the first step toward op-
ening the territory to outsiders
step that was rendered absolutely
necessary by the advent Of the
railroads, along whose lines cities
and towns were springing up, for
which it was evident that sites
must be provided, which could be
subdivided and allotted OIL a more
satisfactory basis than the lease
hold plan. Therefore certain lands
at suitable points were reversed for
townsite purpose, surveyed and
plated and offered for sale to those
who desired to purchase.
This was the entering wedge.
Soon other lines of railways began
to penetrate the new land of prom
Use, making further townsites nee
cessary. In many cases the towns
o1tgrew their boundaries Finally
early in 1904, the last barrierwas
removed by agreement with the
tribes. which permits the outright
sale Of any lands under certain pre-
liminary restrictions, imposed for
the protection Of tue Indians, and
having no effect whatever on the
validity Of the title given.
The fact Of the matter is that
Uncle Sam, after many long years
Of earnest effort to make farmers
of the Indians. has finally been
compelled to acknowledge that the
experiment has proved failure.
In spite Of every guard provided
today less than 1000, 600 Of the 20
600, 900 acres of tilIable land is
under cultivation. and even that
small proportion is cultivated in al
crude baphazard manner, that
gives only hint Of the bounteousl
returns Of which its marvellous
fertility is capable.

OIL STRIKE IN
KNIGHTSTOWN
PROVED TO BE ONE OF LARGE
PROPORTIONS
OIL MEN UNANIMOUS
In Predicting New Field is About to
Be Opened in the Vicinity-A
Boom for Henry County.
OIL MEN UNANIMOUS

Knightstown, Ind, July 2S.-The
oil we'll struck here on Saturday has
proved to be a strike of large pro-
portions, and at this time the result
can not be definitely foretold. Oil men
however, are practically unanimous in
predicting that a new field is about
to be opened in this vicinity that will
equal any in the State.
The well was drilled in by local
company which was organized by Cap
tain John E. Keys, Of this city, who
predicted ten years ago that Oil would
sooner or later be developed here. The
well is o nthe edge of Blue river, in
side the corporation. 1t is now be-
ing pumped natural.
Knightstown is filing up rapidly
with oil men, and there are represen-
tatives here from eight different COM
panies, securing the field for leases.
The local companw secured leases on
1,7O0 acres of land before it started
to drill and another local company
has large holdings northwest of the
city.
Within thirty days the prospects
are that Knightstown will be the
scene of a new field in Indiana oil
activity.

FREIGHT DEPOT
IN SOUTH END TO BE BEGUN
THIS FALL SURE

The Project-Reports Still That the

OFFICIALS FAVOR

The work on the erection of the
freight depot, which the c., c.. & l..
will erect in the southern part of the
city, probably near the new canning
factory, is expected to be begun be-
fore winter. The road officials, when
they went through here on their tour
OF inspection of the entire system,
looked over the ground, and seemed
inclined favorably toward the project
OF the erection of a new depot there.
That it is greatly needed there is no
doubt, and when the new factories
in the south end grow larger and get
in running order, a freight depot will
become an imperative necessity. The
! c., c. & L. officials promised months
ago to build a depot there, and the
south end manufacturers and citizens
will hold them at their word.
Richmond people are pleased over
the outlook for almost through travel
from Richmond to Buffalo, N. Y, over
the new Pere Marquette line and the

Despite denials on the part of some
Of the local authorities, the report
still continues that the c., G. & L.

John Shafer, a native of this town
ship, is the constructing engineer in
charge of the traction line now build
ing from Columbus to Richmond, via
Greensburg and Connersville. He was
visiting his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Shafer, north of this city last
week, and found time besides to call
on many old friends. Mr.. Shafer has
had considerable experience in this
line of work and in each instance was
successful. He is now going over the
route through the southern portion
of this county and it is possible that
there will be some changes from the
original and accepted survey. If the
line comes from Connersville north tt
Beeson's station, which is much il
Mr.. Shafer's mind, it is probable tha
it will be continued to this city, thu.

TO THE CHARGE OF PEDDLING
WITHOUT A LICENSE
II COUNTS SQUASHED
And He Acknowledged Guilt in One
He Was Fined Fifty Dollars
and Costs.

The case against Clarence E. Kip
linger, which was to have come up
before the mayor this morning, did
not come up. Mr.. Kiplinger was
charged with violating a city ordi-
nance, by peddling certain articles
about the city without a license. A
compromise was effected and Mr..
Kiplinger pleaded guilty to one of
the charges and the other eleven were
squashed. The case came up before
Judge Fox in Circuit Court this
morning. The Judge fined Mr.. Kip
linger $50 and costs.
Mr.. Kiplinger was guilty of violat-
inc the law in several instances, but
on the recommendation of the Mer-
chants Association, he was permitted
to plead guilty in the one case and
t,.e others withdrawn.
1t was not the intention Of the
Merchants Association to persecute
Fir. Kiplinger, but to compel him to
cOmplN Will The ordinance anu Sldle
laws. Our merchants pay their taxes
annually to do business here in Rich
mond and when outsiders come here
to sell goods on our streets or any
where else they must pay license or
tax. It is the intention of the Mer-
7 chants Association to prosecute oil
such cases regardless of who the per-
son is or what they sell.
This is nothing but right for the
merchants of Richmond to represent
the majority of the people of Rich,
mond in a sense and pay the majority
of the taxes on personal property
Had the Merchants Association pros
ecuted all the cases against Mr.. Kip
Ii or it would have cost him severa

Then Enos Harvey led the meeting

ray S. Kenworthy gave a lesson on
Habakuk.
The prophecy Of Habakuk is a
voice from the unknown. Nothing is
known of the man. He was probably
a contemporary Of jeremiah, and an
admirer of Isaiah.
The problem of Habakuk is the
problem of sin and it's punishment.
The prophet did not understand the
solution Of the problem. First he
looks to the nations around them for
Gods agents in dealing out punish
ment. Habakuk could not under
stand why God should use a wicked
nation to work out His will.
In his vision the prophet gets God s
answer to his problem. Chaldean
