BURGLARS AT PURCELL.
Rife the PostOfice. Blow Up the safe
and Escape.

Purcell, Kas., Dec. 29.=Burglars
broke into the store of NJ. T. Purcell
here last night. Mr. Purcell, who
lives about so yards from his store.
was aroused about midnight by an ex-
plosiOn which ratified the windows of
his house. Looking out he saw light
in the back of the store and thinking
1t was on fire aroused the town Upon
investigation it was found the back
window had been pried open. and the
store rified in search for money. Mr.
Purcell is also postmaster here. At
the window where they gained en-
trance they searched through the post
Office, leaving papers scattered.
A large amount of stamps, money
orders and a cigar box full of pennies
were left untouched. They next
turned their attention to his Safe,
which stood nearby. This was dis
posed of quickly, as it was not locked.
1t contained nothing but papers, none
of which were taken. being of no
value to anyone but Mr.. Purcell. The
cash register was next opened. This
contained nothing but a few pennies
which We're. not taken, A cigar ma
chine was pried open with a sfna 1T
chisel. From this the sTne1f- secured
about two dollars in money. all in
nickels. A small cash combination
drawer was broken open and let on
the floor, having nothing in it
~ small safe WHICH belonged TO MI
Jim Purcell, a brother to NJ. T. Pur-
cell, in which some insurance papers
were kept, was found under the eoun-
ter, where it had been pushed out Of
the way. This was locked, Mr.. Pur-
cell having locked it and forgotten the
combination. The burglars evidently
thought they had located the money
This was turned over on its side and
a small hole drilled in about the mid
die with tools taken from the black
smith shop here, a charge of blasting
powder was inserted and the door
was blown off, bursting a hole III the
side of the store. The safe contafned
nothing of value and nothing was
taken, but the contents were scat
tered over the floor and the tools and
part of fuse were left nearby. It
was this noise which awakend Mr..
Purcell, and it is supposed that the
men ran when a light appeared in his
house, as nothing could be found Of
them upon his arrival at the store a
few minutes later. A heavy freight
coming by on the Rock Island road
about this time probably furnished
means of escape.
Excepting the money in the cigar
machine and pennies mentioned, there
was no money in the store, and the 50
from the cigar machine is all the burg
lars secured for their trouble.
The matter has been reported to the
surrounding towns and the authorities
are on the lookout ID

THE GAME WENT ON.
Explosion Which shattered windows
FaiIed' fe0 Disturb Festivities.

Greenwich, Conn, Dee. 29.-In ignor-
ance that an explosion which had sha-
ken the house was more than a trivial
affair, the guests of Charles NJ. NAL
Tory at Byram shore last night eontin-
ued their, merriment. 1t was several
hours later that they learned that in
the explosion James Mackey, Mr. NAL
lory's head gardener. lost his life, and
that several thousand dollars worth of
damage had been done.
Mr.. Mallory. who is the head of the
steamship line of that name, had a
score of friends from New York and
Brooklyn for a house party and they
had just begun to play cards when a
gas tank in a greenhouse $50 feet from
ths residence blew up.
! The defamation was heard for five
miles. It shattered every glass in the
greenhouses on the estate and the win
dows on one side of the home 1t blew
a servant off his feet and brought the
guests from their seats. Mackey' s
body was later found 100 feet from the
explosion by his Wife who had gone in
a search for him. The guests, though
startled, did not realize the. extent of
the accident until the party broke up.

to do classes and the heavy burden of
reform These franchises have been ap-
praised at S45O, O0O 600 in New York City;
in other large cities they run into hun
dreds of millions. Their value depends
upon no labor except the labor incident
to a control of the council. They are
created by grant from the city. And
they can only exist through a perform
ance of this control This explains the
activity as well as the corruption in
local politics. These conditions will be
corrected through municipal ownership.
When the city owns its own franchises
all classes will demand good govern
ment and efficient service. Population
can be distributed into the. country side.
