Evil Of Tipping System.

Although there is great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on a rapid increase.
The manager of large restaurant
says the system Of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay lowers their moral stan
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to serve as their
legitimate prey.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods

WHISKY STOLEN.
Thieves Are Busy Along the
Line OF the Frisco.
Many Boxes Broken Open But
Only Liquor Taken.
A BARREL AT ONE TIME
Around Fort Scott Most OF the
Damage Is Done.
The Officers Seem Unable to
Locate the Robbers.

Fort Scott, Feb. 11.-The Republic
can: Within the past few days there
has been much stealing going on
around the Frisco yards and as some
value, a determined effort Is being
made by the Frisco officials to capture
the culprits.
In nearly all cases where thieving
has been reported at the Frisco the
robbers seem to have been looking for
whisky alone, as much other valuable
property has been overlooked and
many boxes broken open, the contents
OF which were not disturbed when it
was found they did not contain
whisky. ,z9
As yet the officers have no clue as
to who the guilty, parties are,
Only a few days ago barrel of
whisky which had been shipped from
ST. Louis to O1athe was stolen and it
is known that it was taken either in
this city after it had been transferred
or between here and Olathe, the final
destination of the shipment.
Also on February 9Th Conductor
Butcher, who has charge of fast
freight train No. Ill between here
and Kansas City, reported when he ar
rived in this city that five cars had
been broken into and robbed at some
place between Kansas City and Olathe.
1t seems to be a peculiar fact that
in all cases where cars have been
sas City the east door has been open
ed, and only one case so far has been
reported where it was the west door.
This fact leads the officials to believe
that there is some place along the d.
vision where the thieves can open the
car on the east side without being
seen and that they have arranged the
rendezvous there where the stolen
goods can be hid until they are dis
posed of.
Several cars which have been
standing on the team track at the
Frisco yards at this place have been
broken open recently and looted. In
all the cases the robbers seem-to- have
been looking for whisky only, as moth
ing except liquor has been reported
missing. Several boxes of valuable
goods have been broken open, but
when they found that they did not
contain liquor the thieves left it alone.
Much stealing has also been report
ed from two of the smaller towns
around here.
Special Agent Smith of the Frisco,
went to lola few days ago and made
one arrest there for a theft which was
committed at Ash Grove a short time
back. -

Kansas. He was the man who saved
the country the. disgrace of impeach-
prescribed after he came home for
having the courage to vote his convic-
tons. He was refused work by many
because he cast that deciding vote.
He was accused of Accepting money
for doing it. 1t was an, absolutely
false accusation. I've known him
ever since, he went to Kansas, about
1858, and there is no man with higher
principles than Ross. He was a, print
er by trade and tried to get work at
the case after his return from Wash
ington.
HE was finally literally driven from
the state. He was appointed territorial
governor of New Mexico in the Cleve-
land administration. He left Kansas
and has never returned. I'm going to
see if it isn't possible to see Senator
Ross given the respect and honor due
him from the nation before he dies.
To attract the attention of the country
to this man I'm going to make this
pilgrimage. I'm getting letters from
his contemporaries testifying to Mr..
Ross high character. Colonel R. T.
Van Horn, who was member of Con-
gress wIren Mr.. Ross was senator, and
James c. Horton of Kansas City have
both written letters which warmly
commend Senator Ross. I'll deliver
these letters to Mr.. Ross and have

MADE MONEY FOR THE CITY.
IoIais Gas Plant Has Cleared 800, 900

lola, Feb, 1.-THE Record says:
The reduction in the price of gas in
lola didn't come any too soon to pre-
vent the city from piling up a lot of
money to waste in useless work
around town. In the past two years
the plant has paid for itself and left
enough money to aid in all worthy
causes" superintendent Miller has
filed with the city clerk a statement
of the cost of the plant and something
concerning what has become of the
money taken in. It shows that the
plant with all its betterments and the
interest cost the city $119,61S.3S.
Every dollar of this sum was taken in
by the plant and the city finds itself
with a plant that is clearing more than
$4,000 a year and that even with the
reduced rate.
Mr.. Miller recently figured the re-
duced price of gas amounted to about
$4,000 year. The plant has taken
in during the past two years some
thing for expenses, and it ought not to
cost much to keep such simple books,
the plant may fairly be said to be
bringing into the city treasury the sum
Of $4,000 a year. From this it would
seem that another and deeper reduc-
ton in the price of gas might be made
and still not bankrupt the city treas
ury.
