Yesterday the harness thief was taken before Judge Howard on the charge of stealing G. W. E.

Griffith's harness. This makes the second case against him. About two weeks ago Prof. Stimpson had a good saddle stolen from his barn. He went to Worthington's harness shop yesterday where he found his saddle.

Mr. Worth-ington said he had purchased it from Combs about two weieks ago for $1. Combs will undoubtedly be' prosecuted for this theft too. If the police continde developing new cases against him as fast as they have been, he will be sent to the penitentiary for the remainder of his natural existence. There is considerable complaint about the mail service along the Southern Kansas.

It seems that a single agent makes a run of 610 miles, starting from Kansas City at 7 o'clock in the morning and getting into Harper at 1 o'clock the next morning, a distace of 305 miles. Starting on the return at 2:45 the same morning they get into Kansas City at 5:25 the same evening. This is too long a run for the efficiency of the service. Court. Preparation foi District Court is rapidly progressing.

Yesterday Judge Chad-wick filed with Clerk Summerfield his quota of appealed cases, seven in number, and all civil.

This will make a very fair reckoning for legal gentlemen. Death of Frof. Barteldles.

Prof. G. W. Barteldies died at his home in this city on Thursday, the 20th, of consumption. He had been sick a long time, and his death was not unexpected.

He was only thirty-seven years of age, yet in the prime of life, and was loved and respected by a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Saturday at his late residence, from whence his re mains were borne to their last resting place in Oak Hill cemetery, We are pleased to announce that the Faculty of the Law Department of the State University have appointed H. T. Smith to represent that department at the next Commencement. Mr.

Smith has been connected with the University for the past five years three years as a student in the Literary Department and two in the Law Department, from which he graduates next June. A New Firm. We call attention to the card of Geo. B. Edgar Co.

The text books used by the Lawrence Business College are in many respects a departure.

from the bourse of study elsewhere, and are acknowledged to be the most complete and perfect of any yet published. Students can enter the college, however, at any time and begin their studies without regard to the progress made by our minds for domestic happiness, and it is illustrated by the story of the boy who made a mistake in his prayer for good husband to the fact. He immediately investigated and found the roof in flames. With the assistance of the neighbors it was extinguished in a few minutes, with a loss of $100. No insurance.

Several months ago he resigned the office of City Clerk, by reason of failing health, and wer.t to Colorado. For a few months he accepted a position in a hotel in Salida but was finally obliged to give up, and a few weeks ago he came home to die. His disease was Brights Disease of the kidneys.

Per-shall had prepared for them an elegant Burglary. Mr. A. B. Headly, a gentleman from Severance, who is in the city visiting friends, went to the Place House Thursday evening and took a room for the night.

He was given apartments on the ground floor at the northwest corner of the building, the head of his bed being near the window. On retiring he put his clothes under his pillow for safe keeping and left the light burning. During the night some one raised the window, reached in and pulled all his clothes out.

The clothes were taken around the house and left on the south portico, where they were found by the clerk next morning. The police were immediately notified and commenced a thorough investigation.

Marshal Prentice arrested one man Friday morning, but after searching him he was discharged. The man arrested had a silver watch which he claims to have found in the Little Arkansas river, near Salida, Colorado, upon the outside cover of which was engraved in pen text the words "Allie to Frank, Dec. 25, The man may have found the watch as he claims, or he may have stolen it.
