From The Kansas City Journal
If there is a market for rabbits in Kansas il is in

drive into Mcpherson with a big wagon tightly
boarded both sides and filled to overlooking with
rabbits killed in d hunt. In New York and other
Eastern states the meat from a Kansas rabbit is
considered a delicacy. The big markets look to
Mcpherson for supplies. and get them by The car

Pherson County than in adjoining counties but
that city has simply become established market

LOSES JEWELRY
AND HIS CLOTHES
Travelling Mans Suit Case
is Ritied During Transit
in Chicago.

Last week when T. H. Lutman, who
is with Laderach Bros. JeweIry store
returned from his trip to Paw Paw
Lake, he discovered upon his arrival
ii Hammond that his suit case had
been rified while in transportation and
the contents consisting of over 500
in jewelry and his clothes had been
taken out.
When Mr.. Lutman arrived in Chica-
go he gave his suit case to an express
driver who took ii to the LaSalle street
station Arriving at the station the
suit case was awaiting him apparently
in the same condition as 1t left him.
However upon his arrival in Ham
mond he found that some light fingered
parsonage had gone through his case
and secured the jeweIry and two suits
of clothes. Mr. Lutman at once called
the attention Of his loss to the Nickel
Plate road who in turn started an in
vestigation. Mr.. Lutman now believes
that his suit case was rifled during
transportation by the employees Of the
eX press company that handled his
case and unless a settlement is made
he will start proceedings against the
company Mr.. Iutman refuses TO make
public the name of the express COM
pany. He has made out an inventory
to the express company today and he
Will give the latter a chance to make
good his loss.

NO WINE ROOMS FOR
WEST HAMMOND
Ordinance Prohibiting Them
Passes-Interurban Of
ficers Fail to Appear.

At the regular semi monthly NEE ing
Of the West Hammond village board
last night an ordinance prohibiting
wine rooms in the saloons of the Will
age. In case this ruling is violated
both the owner of the saloon and
those using the wine room will be sub
Ject to a fine of not less than $500 and
not more than $200. This ordinance
was put through as the result of an eff
fort to keep up the reform moven ent
that has been started in West Ham
mond. The police officers have been in
structed to arrest all vioIators OF the
new ruling.
The franchise matter which was
to be passed upon at the session last
night did not come up. The men be-
hind the syndicate failed to appear and
as result the matter is being held
over until the next board meeting. The
board members had been previously IN
formed that J. j. Miller, secretary of
the Chicago Interurban company would
be present along with the directors to
ask for the franchise and their not
coming was a keen disappointment.
Routine business was transacted and
the meeting was clos ed.
The board OF local improvements are
holding the regular weekly meeting
this afternoon at the village hall to de-
eide upon installing several water
mains in the south end of the village.

Suit Stolen From Out.

His faith in a trunk as a banking

of 94S Towle street, declares that he
will place his loose change hereafter
in some safe deposit vault. Yesterday
he had a nice little roll laid away in
his trunk with his best Sunday black
suit, and when he returned last night
both were gone. He had saved up S57
and thought It would be safe for a
while in the locked receptacle. But the
thieves found it was an easy matter
to break open the lock and besides
the money they coveted the new suit
The matter was reported to the police
and Ziawel said that he suspected two
other boarders who lived in the house
with him These men could not be
found today but they viii be looked up
by the police.
