LOSE YOUR POCKET BooK9


Passengers aboard Union Pacific
passenger train No. 100, west bound,
Wednesday were victimized by pick
pockets when the train was some
where between Topeka and juno
| tion City. Four men, all well Dress
ed strangers, were arrested in Salina
and are in jail awaiting full investi-
cation. They are charged with pick
ing the pockets of at least two pas
sengers.
The names Of the alleged pickpock-
cts and the passengers have not been
learned by the Salina officers, and
the sheriff is using the wires in an
effort to locate the men from whom
| the money was stolen. One claims
to have lost $40 when the train was
in the vicinity of Topeka, and an
other claims to have had his pockets
picked while the train was between
Manhattan and Junction City.
The wires between Topeka and
Salina were hot with pickpocket news
for several hours and the first clue
was obtained at Abilene when four
strangers got off No. 100, waited
at, the depot and then bought tickets
and took the next train, No. 101,
to Salina. The Salina officers learn
ed the numbers of each of their tick
cts from the Abilene railroad Off
cials and when the men were picked
up in Salina early yesterday morn
ing they had return tickets in their
pockets answering the description
and numbers given the Salina Off
GERS by the Abilene men.
When train 101 arrived in Salina,
Sheriff Heck, Assistant Marshal
Thompson and Policeman John Stone
braker took their stand at various
places surrounding the train, but in
some manner the four men gave the
officers the slip for an hour or so.
The officers finally located two of
the men and followed them about
until finally when one secured
room at the Alameda, the officer
waited for a partner to come up and
both the men we're then arrested.
Later in the night the assistant mar
shall got track Of the other two men
and deputized Art Jones to go with
him to the National hotel where the
two men were found in bed. Each
of the two men had different room
in the hotel, and each officer took
care of one room. Both these men
had railroad tickets Of the descrip-
ton given by the Abilene agent.
! The four men had on their persons
nearly all the money which is alleged
to have been picked from the passen-
gers pockets. The men got off at
Abilene, 1t is thought, because they
feared detection, and 1t Is said also
one of them had some trouble
with the conductor, as a result Of
which he was struck by the conduc-
tor.

AdmIrss Pastor .RusssII,s Beck.

Atlanta Constitution Bill Arp. the
Aeouthern Philosopher" wrote the fot
lowing review Of 'srhe Divine Plan Of
the Ages some time before be died:
ut Is impossible to read this book
without loving the writer and ponder
ing his wonderful solution Of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all
our lives. There is hardly family to
be found that has not lost some loved
one who died outside the church-out-
side the plan Of salvation. and. II Cal
vlnism be true, outside Of all hope and
inside Of eternal torment and despair.
We smother our feelings and turn
away from the horrible picture. We
dare not deny the faith Of our fathers,
and yet can it be possible that the
good mother and the wandering child
are forever separated ?-forever and
forever?
Il believe 1t is the rightly Of these
teachings that makes atheists and inf
dels and skeptics-makes Christians
unhappy and brings their gray hairs
down in sorrow to the grave-a lost
child. a lost soul!
"This wonderful book makes no as
sertions that are not well sustained by
the Scriptures. 1t is built up stone by
stone, and upon every stone Is the
text, and it becomes a pyramid or
Gods love, and mercy, and wisdom.
"There is nothing in the Bible that
the author denies or doubts, but there
are many texts that he throws food
OF light upon that seems to remove
from them the dark and gloomy mean
ing, / see that editors Of lealing jour
mails and many orthodox ministers OF
different denominations have endorsed
it and have confessed to this new anc
comforting light that has dawned
upon the Interpretation Of Gods Book.
Then let every man read and ponder
and take comfort, for we are all pris-
oners of hope. This is an age of ad-
vanced thought, and more thinking Is
done than ever before-men dare to
think now. Light-more lights the
watchword."

DICKINSON STARTS TROUBLE
FOR STANDARD OIL. h

ney United to Collect Fines ON

cutions.

Attorney General Dawson and
County Attorney Rugh today filed
suit against the Standard Oil COM
pany and subsidiary companies
charging that the trust is maintain
ing trust or combination in re-
straint Of trade.
The suit names five particular
days on which the trust has done
business in Dickinson county and
asks for a fine Of 500 day under
the Kansas statute which provides
that a trus. or combination In re-
straint of trade is subject to fine
Of 800 for every day 1t does bust
ness in tho state.
The case was filed in district court
and will come up at the September
term.
The Standard and all Its subsidiary
companies are named as defendants
and 1t is in general much like the
case that has Just been decided by
the United States supreme court, save
that applies only to violation Of the
Kansas statutes.
"The case is the outcome Of plans
made by Attorney General Dawson
last winter" said County Attorney
Rugh. "EIe outlined them at the
time of the county attorneys con-
Nention and said he would bring
them In every county of the state
where the county attorney would
assist him. I was willing and the
papers filed were sent to be by the
attorney general. l understand that
1t is the first of large number OF
similar suits to be brought through
out the state. They are civil suits
and fdr the collection of fines, not
criminal prosecutions"

Standard Oil Co., was in the city

anything Of the matter" said he

the company has been given sixty
days in which to dissolve its organi-

has evidently determined to get a
slice of Standard money before 1t Is
everlastingly too late.

SUITS no COVER THE STATE.
Standard OIL Cases Begun Here Are
General.

The suits against the Standard
Oil Co. filed here are to be filed In
a large number OF Kansas counties.
The papers are printed with blanks
to fill in the name Of the county.
In each case 500 fine and attor-
neys' fees are asked. The state
oil inspector and the local oil inspec-
tor, W. 7. Langston, are named as
witnesses.
Similar suits for similar amounts
will probably be brought in each
county where evidence Of any value
was taken in the Standard Oil case.
1t is probable that between twenty
and thirty counties will be benefit
ciaries of the penalties to be collect
ed. There are now three suits pend
ing against the Standard for the col
lection of civil penalties for viola
tlons Of the antitrust law. The suits
are for $4,000 each, one hundred
dollars day for two years that the
company is alleged to have violated
the anti1trust laws of the state.
The three suits will be dismissed
and actions for smaller amounts will
be brought the same as the action
in Dickinson county. Attorney Cen
eral Dawson and the attorneys for
the company have not yet agreed
as to the exact amount Of the PEN
alties to be collected. AS soon as a
settlement is reached suits to collect
the amounts will be brought in all
Of the various counties. Then all
of the suits will be settled without
trial and the money collected will be
paid into the school funds of the
various counties.

GEORGE TOWN TRACK
TEAM OUT FOR WORK
Prospects Bright for Strong
Blue and Gray
.. Squad.

The first practice Of the candidates
for the Georgetown field and track team
was held this morning on the track in
the basement of the Healy building.
The athletes were allowed TO take
only the lightest sort of work, and
after half an hour all were ordered to
the Ryan gymnasium, where they were
rubbed down. After the practice Cap
tain Smith said~that, starting tomorrow,
the work will be harder, as it Is the
intention of the management to try to
get relay team in shape to compete
at the annual meet of the Boston Ath-
letic Association next month.
About twenty-five men reported this
morning, but II is expected that by the
end of the week there will be about
fifty trying for the team.
Judging by the indications today, the
squad will be particularly well bal
anced, there being, in addition to
sprinters and quarter-milers, number
of candidates for the high jump, pole
vault, and shot put.
The full strength of the team will be
seen at the annual Georgetown meet at
Convention Hall in March.
