BURGLARY.

The saloon of Ed. Weinkauf, III
Third street, was entered by burglar
yesterday morning and robbed Mr..
Weinkauf closed up at II As p, m. Sun
day and the burglary occurred some time
between that hour and morning. A
hole was cut through the side door
with jack knife, but the burglar evil
IDENTIFY became discouraged at the slow
work and shattered the glass in a
window and crawled through. The
owner of the building, Mrs Elizabeth
Patzer and her son, John, were sleep
ing above, on the second story and
heard no noise. The burglary was
therefore not discovered until the next
morning, when Frank Klade, the bar
tender, opened mp the place.
From the appearance of the hole in
the door the burglar was an amateur
and intoxicated at that. The marks OF
the knife he used, twelve inches above
the hole, would indicate this.
After securing entrance to the build
ing the intruder opened the safe, which
was unlocked and secured therefrom
S34 in quarters and half silver dollars
He then opened the cash register which
contained $3.50 and took the So, leaving
SOC for change for the bar tender the
next morning, as MIR. Weinkauf ex-
presses it. There were number OF
checks in the safe, but thess were left
in The drawer. The building is one OF
the Oldest in the city, being built at
least forty years ago. The panels OF
the door which the burglar first tried to
enter are of butteruut valuable wood
today. The panels are about 4 of an
inch thick, dry and tough. Had the
burglar cut larger hole. which would
have taken but few minutes longer,
be could have stuck his arm through
and unlocked the door.
IL is quite probable that the burglary
occurred shortly after Mr. Weinkauf
locked up-while the police force was
at dinner in the city hall. 1t was no
doubt the work of local talent

voting this stock, will elect directors

ness to its advantage, to the great and
i%rreparab1e damage of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company"
Has No Power.
The bill also sets forth that the
laws of Utah, under which the Union
Pacific Railroad company is organ
lied, do not give the power to hold
stock in other than railroad corpora
tions and declares that the public pol
icy of Illinois prohibits a corporation
from holding stock in other corpora
tons. The bill further declares that
at the annual meeting to be held

for ratification and approval of certain
purchases Of branch railroads and IL
1t is ratified by these 281,231 shares
OF stock the validity Of such approval
and ratification will be subject to
serious question and that the money
invested by the Illinois Central Rail-
road company may probably be totally
lost.
Controls Others.
The claim is also made that the
Union Pacific Railroad company con
trolls parallel and competing lines to
those of the Illinois Central and that
"by such stock ownership it tends to
create a monopoly and to stile compe-
tition between railroads and is unlaw-
full and contrary to the public policy
and laws Of the state of Illinois.
It is also alleged in the bill that on
February Is a demand was made by
Mr.. Leman on the Illinois Central
that 1t bring suit seeking to secure
