YELLED STOP THIEF. i"
How a Clever Burglar Eluded the
Police Many Times.

Middletown, n. T., Oct. 24.-By the
alleged confession of Charles Boos, un-
I'll few days ago superintendent Of
the Waikiki Transit company's lines in
Orange county, a spectacular police
mystery has been solved. According to
the police he admitted to them that he
had robbed one of the largest depart
nent stores in the city. besides several
residences in the last few months.
Boos 5estingly reminded the police
that he himself had raised the hue and
cry one night few weeks ago when a
burglar was chased out of the resi-
dence of F. P S. Crane. wealthy
man. He said the police were close on
him before he got out of the house and
that he ran ahead of them shouting
stop thief, catch that man. This
ruse worked so well that Roos resorted
to it again a few nights later when he
had forced MS way into the home of
J. l. Pendleton and from which he was
frightened by an alarm.
Boos is regarded as a modern social
highwa yman. He drew a large salary
as superintendent of the big transit
company and lived in good style in
apartments on one of the best streets in
the city. He was popular in society
and dressed in the latest fashion. He
was apparently one of the busiest men
in town, had no time for anything but
his work and seemed an exemplary
man of business.
Great was the amazement when it be-
came known last Friday that Boos had
been arrested and locked up. The
charge against him was made by off,
cials of the transit company. 1t was
charged that the superintendent had
stolen a large quantity of copper wire
from the quantity and sell it to a junk
dealer.
A subsequent search of Boo's fine
apartment revealed plunder for which
the police had long been looking and
which it is alleged was taken from a
department store and private resi-
it is said, confessed.
Boos' bachelor apartments were the
best in town and incidentally he had
added to their comfort by tapping the
wires of the company from which he
drew large salary and furnishing his
rooms with five tncandescent Iights.

TOPEKA GETS TRAIN.
Passenger service to Fort Scott Is Re
established.

Persons having business to do along the
line of the Missouri Pacih between To-
peka and Fort Scott will hail with joy
the announcement that the company is to
re-establish a regular passenger train
service on this branch of the road Some
months ago the company took of a pas
senger train that left here in the morning
and returned from Fort Scott in the af-
ternoon, and in its place put on a mixed
train. made up of freight, express cars
and passenger coach or two.
This caused a lot of indignation on the
part of the people, who were compelled to
travel on the road, for they felt that they
were entitled to be carried a little more
expeditiously than cattle, but the COM
pany said that the change was a perma-
nent one
The matter was taken up by the Com
merciaI club of Topeka and this organi-
zatiOn mas kept continually after the Of
ficerS of the road to restore the old pas
senger train. Whether these requests of
the Commercial club had anything to do
with the matter is not known, but word
has been received from the officials of
the company that the passenger train is
to be put in service again and it will
probably begin its schedule on Sunday
The train will leave here about II o'clock
and return about O'Clock It's time
schedule has not been settled definitely.

New York, Oct. 24.-Members of

Jacob Adler, a Hebrew actor. has
offered the use of Adler's Grand

meeting. At the end of the play last
night Mr.. Adler urged his audience
to vote for 1.-The one honest man who
is running for Office" and his hear

whether to put in natural gas or not.
Natural gas is supposed to come in town

gas he has lost money by the delay in
buying coal If he buys the coal now
and gas is a pronounced success for
heating he will feel again as if he had
made a mistake.
