ROBBED THE EAGLES OF $500.
Safe of the Order at Coneyville Opened
on the Quiet.

Coffeyville Aug. 26.-It has come to
light that the Coffeyville Aerie of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles was robbed
of about $500 late Saturday night or
early Sunday morning. The money was
taken from the small safe used by the
trustees and the cash taken was in the
hands of the trustees. pending turning
II over to the secretary Tuesday night
The thief entered the building
through a rear window and opened the
safe without injuring ii in any way.
The safe was a small one and II was
evidently opened by some one who was
familiar with this kind of safe and
by some one who knew how to get at
the combination of one of these safes.
The large safe used by the secretary
was not molested and 1t is evident that
the robber could not work this combi-
nation or else that he was frightened
away before he had tried to open the
big one.
Officers are at work on the case but
UP to this time no clue has been found.

ROSEBUD OPENING.
Conditions for the Lottery Are Made
Easier for Ticket Holders.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The Rosebud
Indian reservation lands which under
the proclamation of the president are
to be disposed of by lottery on October
10, are located on the south side Of the
state of South Dakota and adjoin the
lands in Gregory county, which were
opened in 1904. They are said to be
very desirable for farming and stock
raising purposes and similar lands In
adjoining counties are selling for good
prices.
The opening of the Gregory county
lands four years ago was one Of the
largest and most important land open
ings ever held by the government, and
attracted a great deal of attention.;
over 100000 persons having been regis
tered. From present indications the
approaching opening will be even larger
than the Gregory registration, since a
much larger area of land is to be
opened. The plan adopted for this
registration and drawing is similar to
that used in the Gregory opening, but
certain Objectionable features which
imposed hardships on applicants for
registration have been eliminated.
At the Gregory and former openings.
applicants were required to appear in
person and stand in line often for a
considerable length Of time until Of
ficers of the government examined into
and determined their qualifications
and registered them, while, at this
opening no line will be formed and the
people will be permitted to send In
their applications by mail, or other
wise. to the superintendent after they
have been sworn to In one of the towns
above mentioned. Soldiers who served
for three months during the civil war
the Spanish-American war or the
Philippine instruction, will not be re-
quired to visit the towns mentioned
