lock almost any sort of door. These
were room keys, they said.
The barn belonging to Jay Ball
had been entered, and the door left
part way open. 1t is believed that
the men entered here, but seeing
that there was no hay or straw I'M
der which to hide, went out again.
This barn was searched also, but
nothing bearing on the case found.
Didn't Count ON Porter
A small tube of morphine was found
on the steps outside the doctors Of
fees.
Both men have cards showing
themselves to be members of the
International Brotherhood of Boil
ermakers of America. They expected
to find work here, they said. They
had a handful of nickles and dimes
with them, which lead the officers
to believe that they may have lex
amined" a till somewhere.
Whoever the men were who were
in the offices, they worked the
combination of DR.. Conklin's safe
and were examining its contents
when the porter's arrival caused
their hurried flight. Evidently the
men did not count on the doctors
arriving early in the morning, but
they had not counted on any porter.
Nothing of value was missing from
DR.. Conklin's safe.
DR.. Sorrels' safe had been tam
pered with, but the combination |
was not worked, though 1t had been
handled skillfully, DR.. Sorrels says.
The thieves scraped up all of the
gold nuggets and filings, which
where in the desk laboratory in the
dentists office, and this must have
taken some time, as the filings are
very fine.
The officers here are inclined to
believe, should the men be proven
guilty, that this will uncover a ser
les of such robberies over Kansas,
wherein dentists offices have been
entered and gold taken. George
Meyer, former sheriff of Saline
county, was here on business today.
At Salina yesterday, Mr.. Meyer said,
a travelling salesman told him that
on the branch train coming up from
two young men had been
flashing a roll of bills and exhibit
ing some gold nuggets and filings
which they had with them, which
led the salesman to think that the
young men might be connected with
the reported robbery at Lindsborg
one night recently, when quantity
Of gold was stolen from dentists
office. The Salina police were noti-
fled but made no arrests.
Have Operated Elsewhere?
Sheriff Hassler believes that the
men here are the ones seen at Sa- ,

A GOOD LAW

for every citizen in this State. 1t will save lives
and limbs, and means fewer dependents upon charity.
twill save the destruction OF property and freight.
which means that the railroads Will have more
money to spend for equipment instead of damage
claims. Preventing vi delays in freight traffic
means a better service to the public, fewer delayed
shipments, such III Live Stock and perishable mer-
Clandise, which must be put over the road as quickly
as possible in order to save shrinkage.
1t is IN axiom in economics, that whenever pro-
perty is ID destroyed, the loss is distributed in some
form or other with the public. 1t must be absorbed
in that way and no other. Therefore, it is to the
interest of every tax payer in this commonwealth,
that we should do everything to prevent the destruc-
ton of human lives, limbs, property and freight
shipments. The cost, no matter how You look at it,
or how it is explained, will come out of the pockets
Of the public in some form or other, and you can't
get away from it. The argument has been advanced
that an additional man on top of the long trains
would result in u raise in freight rates.
NOW IN EFFECT IN NINE STATES.
In 9 great States the 'Full Crew Law is in full
force and effect. New York, Maryland, Pennsylva-
MIA, Arizona, Indiana, Arkansas, Washington, Cal
ifornia and New Jersey, have this law and rates
have not been raised in consequence.
Freight rates are regulated by the States and the
u. S. Interstate Commerce Commission, and they
are now as high as the railways can make them.
The Full Crew Law" by preventing long freight
trains from being sent out on the road undermined,
and by providing a better inspection, will prevent
wrecks, giving relief to employees from the enormous
tax they now have upon them for burying their
dead and caring for their injured, giving them more
money to spend for the necessities and comforts of
their families.
1t will enable the railroads to reduce their losses
on destroyed equipment, road beds and freight. It
will save them from q tremendous loss incurred
when traffic is tied up. Reducing the amount paid
for damages on personal injuries. All of which will
enable them to save money and be i'll u better posi-
ton to reduce rates.
You are reminded Of the fact that practically
every safety appliance, such as the Safety Car
Coupler, Air Brake, ETC., was secured because it
was first demand by the employees and the public.
We ask you, Mr.. Voter. with an all too vivid reali-
cation of what it means to the men of our hazardous
calling, and to our wives, mothers, fathers. children,
as well as to you and yours, we ask you to help

from 1862 up to the present and

horses heads were above water,

box, for my wagon was uncou'

In 1862. 1865, 1866 and 1867,
worked for a man in New York
State who was counted very say.
ing, 80 in 1865 he was hauling
milk from a large dairy to a
cheese factory and he had a long
hill to go down. He drove a long,
gaunt 1 year,old colt and one day
he saved some time by not snap
ping the hold. back straps, but
when he was going down the hill
the wagon a upon the horse
and Lengthy Gaunty didn't like
it and he kicked up high and the
wagon ran under the horse: then
Savoy and horse were riding
down hill in the same wagon.
The man did some kicking to get
the horse into his proper place.
The next year the same mans
barn needed new shingles, and
as | was II years old, he made
boss carpenter of me, and as his
brother had two boys running up
the only good ladder we had, |
tied it securely in the middle of
the barn, but this was too far for
this saving man to walk, so he
placed a short ladder up against
a staging pole and started up
with one hand full of nails and
the other arm full of shingles.
He got nearly up, when the lad.
der turned around the pole, and
he fell to the ground on a pile of
stones. l heard the noise, and
hurried down. The man grunt.
