Burglars Get $40.

Jesse Trimble's drug store was en-.
tered by a burglar Sunday night
and seventy dollars in cash was sto-
len. The money had been placed in
shot sacks by Mr. Trlmble Saturday
night and hidden In two separate
places In the front Of the store behind
the counter. A small amount OF
money In another sack and placed In
the same drawer with one OF the
packages taken was overlooked by
the thief. Entrance was gained by
breaking window pane In the rear
Of the room. The opening Was not
large and 1t must have been a small
man who entered. Nothing else was
missing, the thief not even taking
time to help himself to cigars or to-
bacco.
A lady in the millinery business In
the adjoining room said she saw two
men at the store about ten O'Clock
at night, one was In the building and
the other was standing on the pave
ment 10 front Of the store, but she
did not suspect anything was wrong
and gave no alarm.

A GartreIl Case in Johnson.

The finding OF the body Of man,
named Ed. Miller, in an old abandon
I'd we'll in johnson county last week
mas caused much excitement In that
section The discovery was made on
the confession OF Mrs. Anna j. Bent
ley, who piloted the officers to the
spot where the body was recovered.
She said last May she took up witha
man named Sessaman, In st. Louis,
and they started In one horse wag.
ON to travel to Kansas. Near Soda
la they met an old man travelling
over the country, who had a good
team aud outfit and apparently had
plenty Of money. They decided to
travel together. On the third
night from there, while camping In q
secluded spot near Holden, Sessaman
killed Miller with an AZ, and after
tying heavy rock TO the BODY with
wire, threw It into the well. The
crime was committed for robbery.
He got cheap watch, q few dollars,
a check for $50 and the team. Oh.
GERS all over the country are keeping
a sharp lookout for Sessamsn, and
with the splendid description they
have OF him, will probably effect his
capture. The crime In many details
was similar to the Durham and later
the Gartrell murder In this county.
The Bentley woman says that Sessa-
man threatened to kill her iishe told,
but her conscience got the better Of
her fear, and she iourneyed back from
Kansas to expose the crime to the
Cass and johnson county officers.

of the Disease.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Secretary
Hay has transmitted to the house a

ing and treating tuberculosis and of

area has a total population of 46,129,-
ST. and a prison p~oulation of 20, 167,
of which 1907 have tuberculosis. The
total tuberculosis prison population of
the country is given as 2,151, a per-
centage of 4.SS.

mental supervision of penal institu-
tons, sanitary and airy buildings and
a revision of punishment and exercise
rules.

Washington, Dec. 20.-In the case of
w. Z. Wetmore VS.. Mrs. A. B. Markoe,
the supreme court of the United States
holds that an obligation to pay ali
mOny and allowance to a wife and
children is not in the nature of an
ordinary debt, and, therefore, can not
be discharged in bankruptcy.
Mr.. Justice Day, who delivered the
opinion, said:
THE bankruptcy law should receive
such an Interpretation as will effectu-

make it an instrument to deprive de-
pendent wife and children of the sup
pert and maintenance due them from
husband and father, which it has ever
been the purpose of the law to en-
force"

darkness, under great difficulty and in
the face of the utmost danger. Mrs.
Anna McNevin was the first person
saved. The debris arched over her, in
such a way that she was saved from
Serious injury.
Hans Anderson was pinned down by
heavy imberS across the lower part of
his body, and begged p~iteously for
help. The rescuers worked desperately
to reach him, but his voice grew faint
CT and fainter, and before he could
be dragged from the wreck death had
ended his sufferings.
w. ]. Croker, the proprietor of the
hotel, was pinioned beneath a radiator,
and, though nearly dead when rescued,
will probably recover.

will be the subject of thorough inves-
tigation. Building Inspector Hough-
ton ordered the destruction of a part
Of the Peck building Monday, but gave
no orders concerning the wall which
afterward crushed the Crocker hotel

IDENTITY. OF VICTIM POINTS TO
LENA WEBER, OF EDGERTOWN, mo.
The Young Lady Mentioned Has
Been visiting in Colorado Springs
and is Said to BE Westinghouse
Elaborate Dental Work Nay
Furnish Identification.

Colorado Springs, Col, Dec. 90
Friends of Miss Lena Weber, of Ed
gerton, Mo-, have partially identified
the body of the girl found dead on
Cheyenne mountain. Miss Weber has
not been seen for mor than a week.
Her twin sister in EdgertOn and John
Doke, of Kansas City, have been com
municated with to strengthen the iden-
LITIGATION, which is largely made
through the teeth.
The peculiar and elaborate dental
work, evidently done by an expert dem
fist who would keep Office records Of
the work, is the hope of the authOri-
ties. The relatives of Miss Weber have
been asked that unless they are GER
tain the girl is still alive to secure
from the dentist who treated her, COM
plete records. An expert dentist h
examined the girls mouth at the post
mortem has furnished Coroner a
with the following description of the
mouth:
1.-THE upper right wisdom tooth is
.undeYelOped. On the upper right side
of the mouth a solid gold bridge ex-
tends from the first mOlar TO the Gus
pid. The second mOlar is present. The
first and second bicuspids are absent,
filed with solid gold dummies. There
are two gold filings, medium size, III
The mesial of the upper central in
cisor. On the upper left side a gold
bridge extends from the first bicuspid
to the second molar, worn on the
mesiO lingual portion of the crown.
The second mOlar is made from a BIZ
cuspid dummy. The third mOlar is
present. The lower right three mOlars,
Or wisdom teeth, are present. The Sec
Ond mOlar is gOld-filled in the meSio
occlusial surface. The first molar is
absent and has been gone several
years. All the teeth are present on the
lower left side. Large gold filling on
~occlusion of first mOlar. Large gold
filing on Occlusion, extending TO disati
surface of second molar."
The friends of Miss Weber who gave
her name as a possible clew, declined
to state further grounds for their sus-
picion than that the girl, who had
been visiting here, was missing, and
that in a general way the form, teeth,
size and hair of the murdered girl an
swers her appearance.
At the coroner's inquest it developed
that the girl was shot to death, the
bullet entering the brain back Of and
above the left ear. The post mOrtem
revealed that the girls condition was
normal, leaving the police without a
clew as to the motive. 1t is also es-
tablished beyond a doubt that the fire
married the features was started
after death.
The verdict of the jury named only
the cause of death, having undeter-
mined the identity of the victim, the
murderer, the date and motive.
The authorities have been almost
swamped with kilograms from all over
the country, several coming from st.
Louis and Chicago. The names and
addresses in these are carefully guard
until they are investigated. In
nearly all cases the girl sought is
found without trouble.
