MONEY IS STOLEN
FROM MATTRESS
Landlord and His Family Leave Their
Home for a Few Hours and Upon
Return Find Themselves Robbed Of
Every Cent Of Money-House Is
Ransacked.

The Polish Center of South Chicago
was rocked to the center today when
the word was spread around that Geo.
Matkeveicz of S737 Commercial avenue
had been robbed of $1,000 by his
boarder John Sampson.
The $2,40O represented the saving of
three years on the part of Matkevfecz
and his amily. Both the boarding
boss and the boarder were employed in
the Illinois Steel mills. Sampson came
to Matkeviecz's three months ago to
board with him, and the landlord had
no occasion to complain about his
boarder In fact he behaved so well
that he soon came into the good graces
of Matkeviecz and the house was open
to him at all hours of the day and
night.
Family Gone Yesterday.
The boarding boss and his family
were gone from the house yesterday.
which was nothing unusual. Their
savings of three years were hidden un-
der the mattress in the bedroom of Mr..
and Mrs Matkeviecz. Sampson had a
key to the house and, according to the
boarding boss. let himself in and made
a thorough examination of the house
with the result that he found the
money.
When Matkeviecz and his family re-
turned, late in the day, they saw that
the rooms were partially upset as
though somebody had made search
through them. The husband immedi-
ately went to his bedroom, but found
it unnecessary to turn the mattress
over to look for the money. Somebody
had been there before and left the bed
disturbed
Breaks Down and Weeps.
Seeing himself robbed of his saw
ings, the man broke down and wept
like a child. It was too much for his
wife to bear up under and soon the
whole family was in tears. When they
had recovered from the first shock of
their experience the police were noti-
fed who Immediately got into com
munication with the down town au-
thorities. Detectives of the South Chi
cago station made a quiet search for
Sampson as he was reported missing
and is still gone.
This morning detective John O'Calla-
han went to DeKalb. Ill. to see if
Sampson is there as he is said to be
acquainted there.
His description was given as fol-
lows: Height five feet, eleven inches,
slim build, light complexion and light
hair, small, dark mustache.. Wore
black derby hat, a sack suit and black
button shoes.

CONSTABLES GET IN TROUBLE
Joseph Langowoki of East Chicago

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Aug. 31.-(Spe-
ciaD-Constables connected with local
Justice shops are beginning to realize
that they are in wrong with the police
and court officials. One is now being
brought before a court on charges of
assault and battery, while the other
was made the victim of a fine for con

Wheeler, Ind, Aug 31.-(Speciao-
This place was the scene of what
might have been a serious accident yes
terday.
Mr. George Schlobohm had driven up
to Mrs Soerinichsen's store. where she
and her five little children were about
to get into his wagon to visit with
her mother over Sunday. Just as they
were in the act of getting into the
wagon, an automobile No. 1926 IIli-
nois, driven by Mr.. E. c. Frady of No.
35 Randolph street, Chicago, passed,
phich frightened the horses. They
turned short around and took after the
automobile and followed it a couple of
blocks.
Tries to Avoid Damage.
Mr.. Frady attempted to get his ma
chine out of the way of the team and
a favorable place in front of Mr.. J. N
Sigler's residence he let them pass.
Mrs. Frady and another lady were in
the auto at the time Mrs. Frady be-
came excited and jumped and rolled
over in the dust but was not injured.
The team in turning when they were
scarem, threw Mr.. George Schalbohm
Mr.. Henry Johann and Mr. Alfred
Schrader out into the road. Other than
Mr.. Schlobohm getting his legs run
over by the wagon and a few scratches,
and bruises, the other three men were
not hurt
TIL team ran to Mr.. J. A Prestorcs
place. north of town, where Mr.. H. II.
willing tried to stop them, running
them into a big tree and throwing both
horses and scratching and bruising
them also. The tongue, which was
broken off at the doubletree striking

Mr.. Frady stopped and gave what
assistance he could and it is safe to
say Mr.. Frady acted the part of gem

Fills a Long Felt Want.

The building of the new garage in
South Chicago will fill a long felt want
and the new place promises to become
very popular in a short time. South
Chicago has long wanted such an instf-

in South Chicago, one of them being
conducted by Mr. Peulecke, they have
been so small that they would only
accommodate a small number of ma

Chairman O'Neal OF the republican
state central committee has issued a
comparative statement, showing six
years each of democratic and republican
rule in Idaho. And we can't help feel

in issuing the statement. 1t shows that
during democratic rule the state was
run for about half as much as during
the republican rule. During 1898 there

Editorial.

How do you, fellow republican, like
the opinion Of Mr.. Hepburn? How do
you like to have the man you and
have elected as our representative in the
United States senate say that the peo-
pie of Idhao are incapable of self govern
ment? When our public men reach
point where they will publicly announce
their opposition TO popular government,
and declare their belief that they are
above the people, and beyond the peo-
pie, is it not time to send such men into
retirement where they can do little
serious rehecting2 Hepburn needs
good, swift kick where he sits down. A
man who has suddenly grown so great
that he has ceased to be accountable to
the people, and openly says so, has no
right to ask the poor, ignorant public to
vote him back into Office. Let republic
cans who believe they are too ignorant
to vote, cast their ballots for W. b. Hey
burn. The rest of us poor white trash
can vote for the other fellow.

According to Senator Hepburn the re-
publican party of Idaho is before the
people without any platform, and the
people have no idea what they will get
if the next legislature is democratic. If
we accept the Hepburn doctrine then
the few planks in the republican plat
form are worthl IS and fraud. They
are there to catch votes, not to be car
ried out, and the people are expected to
accept this infamous doctrine.

tionally strong candidate in the person of Thomas L. Hisgen, and it will probably be important factor in New England, New York and California. Thomas Watson, a popular man of the south is bending all his energies to break the ''solid south" and carry Georgia for the populist party, while the Hon. Eugene W. Chain, the can didate on the Prohibition ticket is making a remarkable campaign and in his masterly conquest of bowling mob at Springfield, Illinois, when he rescued an innocent negro out of their hands while in the midst of an out door political speech brought the applause of the whole nation. The Minneapolis Tribune said: 'No. can .didate for president can match the splendid advertisement of that heroic stand before murderous mob. Mr. Roosevelt would have given his ears for it when he was running for office. ' The immense prohibition wave which is sweeping over the country and which has swept Georgia, Alabam ma, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Oklahoma into the prohibition column alongside of Maine, Kansas, and North Dakota, and which h.s prac- tical contcrol of Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Kentucky, besides being large factor in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois, makes it possible that this hitherto small party may change the vote this year. Add to it the inn mense vote withdrawn from the regu-
 ar parties by these young but vgor- ous third parties, the independent vote which will adjourn to the jury room the night before election and render it's verdict in silence the next ay at the polls and anyone can see how little Mr. Hitchcock or Mir. Mack can know of the outcome before the click of the telegraph on the night ot election.
 The independent vote is the biggest l
 political factor of the day, and Alaska is no exception. It elected MT.

Wickersham makes the mistake of thinking his place se- cure regardless of his acts the next election day, the same vote that seat ed him will unseat him. If he wisely needs the wishes of Alaska's indepen. dent vote, he has an honorable career ahead of him, and The Miner will gladly join The Times in giving him most hearty support.
