Baker, a traveling man from St. Louis. While making his way to the Santa Fe train through a crowd about the car, a satcnel in one hand and an umbrella in the other, one mail in front ofliim grabbed his umbrella and another behind his satclu l. He held on to his property but before ho could see who the parlies were they had on feeli in his pocket. Mr.

iker discov eied they had carried of his poi-k-l containing nbotit tfa in cash and a number of notes. He returned at once to the "Manhattan hotel-, and notified tlie authorities. Tt has been the belief of the police for soma time that there was an organized gang of pickpockets oporating in tlie city, and they have been endeavoring to get track of 'the loaders. 'When tlie 'young fcljow, John Kelly, was arrested for trying to visit the pocket of Mr. Young iu the Kansas National 'Bank it was believed then that they had gotten onto the gang, but if Kelly "peauhed" anything if lie did belong to the supposed gang, the officers have kept quiet about it.

Mr. Wing is a gentleman of largo experience ns superintendent of manufacturing iuterests.and since coming here has conceived tlie idea that Wichita isijust tlie place to plant a factory for the manufacture of a variety of articles for household use, and he would establish such a factory hereif our capitalists would aid the enterprise by subscribing a portion of tho Ho iuforms: ns that he rtould insure largo sales from tho products of such an establishment as this, and the employment of about a hundred hands to begin with, We trust Mr. Wing will present this matter to our leading business men and capitalists, and that it ill be dmy considered and" encouraged, for rje agree with the' "gentleman in believifg 'that no project cquiii ha pi closed tliSil would ho of greater benefit to city. What we need, and must have, is manufacturing interests, and these should be varied in their character.

We take it that Mr. Wing would be one of tho most efficient find suitable men that could be found to encourago and place at the head of such an enterprise. I Shoe Factory. Mr. S.
