two double plays. one being from Ogle TO

Both sides then got into argument,

ROBBED THE SAFE
CLEVER THIEF MAKES WAY WIFE
THE CASH.

-Four hundred and eleven dollars gone out
OF the inner cash drawer OF the safe and A
rev taiiow drops around the safe was the
only change discovered in the store oc
Patrick j. Nee. at the corner of eth and III
streets northwest, this morning when tha
clerks went TO work. There was nothing
else disturbed In any way even the safa
being locked and In its usual condition.
The loss was at once reported to the police
Headquarters and Detectives Pratt How
lett and Weldon were at once assigned to
the case. Pratt and Hewlett are working
on the case this afternoon. but up TO a lato
hour no arrests had been made
While people were passing and PASSING
this busy corner of the business section OF
the city the thief was calmly working at
the safe inside the store. And he took his
departure with the money without leaving
one single clue to the identity of himself.
1t is supposed that the thief went through
a door in the areaway on IL street. Tho
door was found open this morning, and n
person going through that could easily get
into the upper part of the store where tho
safe was kept. Whether that door was
locked last night no one remembers but IL
was open this morning. After the thief
had gotten inside he went to the business
Office A window is near the safe. and the
thief calmly pulled down the curtain to
that window. to prevent his operations
from being seen from the outside. When
that was accomplished. he evidently lighted
a candle and set to work opening the safe.
Drops of tallow were found around the
safe this morning.
The safe-breaker was an expert or else he
knew the combination, for there was no
evidence that the door was pried open. lt
was opened by the combination. The money
WAS kept in cash drawer. which was locked
with a key. That drawer was found locked
this morning. like the safe. But the money
was gone. IL is thought that the thief LETT
the building he had entered, through the
door in the basement.
When the closing time came last night
several of the clerks were in the store. and
they all left together They were the last
ones to leave last night. For the opening
this morning. Bookkeeper j. II. Lyden and
Daniel J. Nee went to the store at the
same time and unlocked It. About half
past 10 O'Clock they wanted some books out
of the safe and IL was opened. When they
looked in the cash drawer at that time tho
money was gone. A telephone message was
at once sent to police headquarters. and
Capt. Boardman sent out his detectives TO
investigate the case.
After talking over the case with the pro-
prietor the detectives stated that they had
a clue. and they at once left to locate the
person, if possible.

FEATURE OF THE FOURTH.
Prohibition and Temperance People Is
sue New Declaration of Independence.

CHICAGO. Ill, July 4.-More temperance
and prohibition patriotic rallies were held
throughout the country today than ever be-
.cre in the history of the Fourth At hun
ileds of them new Declaration of hide
pendence was one OF the novel attractions
This declaration was one of the features
of the July Fourth program issued for the
National Prohibit ion Alliance movement,
but interest in the document spread, and IT
Will be read at many celebrations not d.
rectly under the auspices of that organiza-
ton.
This unique document is In many respects
a replica OF the Declaration of Independ-
ence. but il finds In what ii calls 1.-THE inn
pending tyranny OF the liquor traffic" the
object of its arraignment and the motive
for its appeal to the patriots of America"
As the declaration is in large part but a
restatement of the published views and
convictions OF almost every church In
America, and comprises in new form the
ideas and sentiments of many thousands of
temperance people everywhere. II is of gen.
eral Importance. 1t is an epitome of the
standpoint of the prohibitionist
IL has already received within the past
fortnight the signatures OF many men
prominent In educational, religious and
professional circles. Among these NAV be
mentioned President Edward ID. Eaton of
Beloit College. President Emory w. Hunt
OF Denison University, Bishops Joyce, Nal
lalieu and Goodsell of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church; Bishop Morrison or the
Methodist Church South, President w. Ii.
Hickman of the board of trustees of the
Chautauqua Institution. and scores of other
prominent men in every state in the Union
The twentieth century Declaration of In
dependence bids fair to become a historic
document in reform circles. Its circulat ON
will not be limited TO Fourth of July But
will undoubtedly play a prominent part In
temperance and prohibition agitation for a
long time to come.
