McNEES. d259-3t -w2-t After a Thief. wanted in this city. Home Again. This morning Sheriff Hays left for Osborne, Kansas.

Yesterday afternoon he received the following dispatch which has caused him to take this trip: "OSBORNE, W. W. Hays: Charlie Shaffer is here in jail. Come at once. W.

A. WARE, Sberiff." Shaffer is a horse-thief that is badly battery A Wonderful Growth. Captain Metcalf and his company of artillery returned on Saturday night from the Augusta reunion. The boys report having had an excellent time, but as naual they were glad to get home and to be sure that there are no more reunions this year where sunrise and sunset guns are to be fired by the Wichita Louis Crum, one of the most prosperous farmers of Attica township this morning brought to THE JOURNAL office an agricultural curiosity in the shape of a cabbage or rather cabbages. On one stalk are twenty-seven heads and each is solid and perfect.

The vegetable is not a result of second growth, but is a freak grown from seed, It is the most peculiar growth ever brought to this office and well worth coming to see. It will be exhibited to all callers by the agricultural editor without charge. A Good Move. The members of the county text book board met this morning in the Sedgwick block. There are thirty-three members of the board and twenty-two were present.

They have met to select books to be used in country districts for the next five years. The publishing houses have been very liberal with their samples of books and their many different kinds to select from. When a book is finally selected a stated price will be set and the book dealer handling the same will be placed under bonds not to charge an exorbitant price or more than the price set by the board at their present meeting. Shot by 'Accident. There was another young fellow last night that fooled with the wrong end of a 22-calibre revolver.

Today he wishes that he had not done so and is laid up with a very sore hand. About 7:30 last evening two colored boys, Harry Green and Isaac Barnes, were out on Hinton avenue having a good time. Green was playing a revolver, when Barnes foolishly ran up and grabbed it by the muzzle. Of course. the weapon exploded and the bullet entered the boy's right band at the base of the second finger.

It ranged back toward the wrist and is causing a very disagreeable and painful wound. The wounded boy was taken to Dr. McClees' office and there the doctor probed thoroughly for the ball, but failed to find it. This afternoon another examination will be made. THE MOHAWK JAYHAWKERS.

Some daysago the JOURNAL referrad to the fraud perperitrated by the Mohawk Detective agency, on young Shanley from South Chicago, whom they duped and got here on the promise of work. Mr. Shanley has employed Noah Allen as his attorney to investigate the concern. Mr. Allen has sent to a copy of the alleged charter, and is now which he preparing is about a bringing against all parties connected petition in this action with the fraudulent business of working the honest but hard working men and boys of the country.

hisThe petition will contain a complete tory of the whole scheme, together with names of all parties ever connected with it, and some chagrined to find that they have of whom will be much surprised been discovered in their nefarious business. Steps will also be taken by counsel to have the charter from the state repealed as a fraud upon the state and the people. The government officials may be called on also to prosecute the whole gang for using the mails for fraudulent and illegal purposes. Mr. Allen will no doubt make it very interesting for the Mohawkers and will be supported by THE JOURNAL and all good citizens.

The Mohawk fraud must go. Fallen Women Saved. To-day on East Central avenue opens one of the most vorthy i institutions in Wichita. It is known as "The Open Door" and is to be devoted to the welfare and interests of fallen women. For some time Cook's flats on East Central avenue have been being prepared for this work and at last they are ready for the good work.

Girls who have lost that which is most dear to a good woman, can here find refuge and when they have no place on earth to go, here is a refuge for them. There are several cases now in this city which this home can greatly help and Chief Aspey will see to it that several girls just turning out are sent there. The house has been fitted up comfortably, and the girls will have neat, pleasant rooms to live in. Before the matron retires at night she will see that they are all safe in their rooms and that the house is locked up securely. The matron of the house is a good woman who will see that the girls receive proper training and are well treated.

This institution will need snbstantial aid and it is but proper that our citizens stand by and aid such a worthy undertaking. As time rolls on they will be able to see that this charity has not been misplaced and that they have done a great deal of good. One half of the building will be occupied by Miss Fountain for her Faith Home. To-morrow will be a sort of grand opening day, and our citizens should see to it that food, raiment other necessities of life are forthcoming. Mrs.

Miller is president of organization and to help these fallen women deserves great credit for her share in the good work. Horse Thieves. A young man named Will Lennett, living seven miles southeast of this city, last night lost a fine horse which was stolen out of his stable. This morniag he reported His loss to Sheriff Hays, who is to-day busy getting out cards and offers of reward. For some reason the horse stealing mania is once more taking hold of the thieves of the great south west.

Reports come in from all the surrounding counties to the effect that stock a is missing. Lynching bees and neck tie parties will now be in order if this work is not disI continued. A gentleman at the sheriff's office this morning was talking of horse stealing, and remarked that he had only lately come in from the country lying along the No Man's land border. There organized bands of horse thieves have been working for some months. About one year ago a vigilance committee got to work down in this country, caught some of these thieves and hung several of them.

They are now again organized for the same purpose. About ten days ago a party of five stockmen caught two thieves, a negro a Mexican, after 8 long chase. two men were asleep when the farmers rode down on them. and they were taken without any trouble. As the thieves had in their possession at this time several stolen horses, they were strung up to an old stump of a tree and left there until they were dead.

Halters were used to stretch their necks. Then the avengers rode into Oak City and reported what they had done with the rascals. Sheriff Hays says that most all of the thieves operating in this section of the country break for the Ferritory with their stolen horses. He also thinks that a large number of these strolling traders who live in tents and wagons about over the country could tell a good deal about some of these horse stealing transactions if they would. He expects to have a full house all winter at the Hotel de Hayes.

This is a suit over an attachment bond and is no very light job for a jury. In the probate court a marriage license was granted to William Betz and Anua Scherach. The girl in the case is not yet of age and her parents resides in Berlin, Germany, but the prospective groom took an oath to the effect that they were favorable to the match and the permit was accordingly granted. N. Fennell was granted papers as administrator of the estate of Joseph Fennell, "Colorado Joe" who died of yellow fever in New York some weeks since.

After the reading of the minntes of meeting the session adjourned. In the evening an exhibition of the various gymnastic classes of the Leavenworth Turner society took place, which was well rendered and was received with tremendous applause. The Democrats of Leavenworth county celebrated with a barbecue and picnic at Stillingsville Saturday, which was largely attended, not only by the the Leavenworth Democracy, but also by their Missouri brothers.

Two whole beeves and a couple of calves were slaughtered, and beer flowed freely. Speeches were made by Missouri and Kansas Democrats and a regular love feast enjoyed. That Leavenworth has suffered more than any other city in Kansas through the ravages of prohibition, no one who has ever seen the city of late years will deny, but the evil is the more apparent to one who has beheld the city in the height of its glory and now sees it, slowly but surely making backward strides at least in matters of population and buildings. A talk with a large number of business men easily convinces a searcher after truth that prohibition and that alone has been the cause of Leavenworth's downfall. With a number of the best coal mines in the state and with the best tactories in the west.

its citizens are discouraged and lamentations are heard on every side. Now that the pontoon bridge is completed and Stillingsville has become the objective point of the -imbibing atizen, the little money that is still in circulation is carried across the bridge into Missouri and the Kansas citizen comes back lighter in pocket, but his feet are loaded with Missouri mud, and his head with an amber liquid from the eame state. Leavenworth is not 88 much of goody -goody town 88 Topeka or Wichito, and the sight of open barber shops on Sanday and bands of music parading the streets, would perhaps not be tolerated in any of the other Kansas towns. An air of stillness prevades the town that does not augur well for its future prosperity, There is no city in the country that has such a beautiful location and natural advantages not to mention the fort, the old soldier's home, and were it not for prohibition and its attending evils, Leavenworth would holding that vantage in the commercial world, to which it is justly entitled. Constant strife and bickering has arrayed man against man in the city and these political and private animosities crop out in the business and social conditions and make things very unpleasant all around.

Set aside the prohibition law, do away with the barnacles that are now holding it down and Leavenworth will arise and nssert her supremacy and inside of two years will show a subetantial and solid improvement that will inure to its lasting benefit.

From remarks he has let drop to persons who have conversed with him on the subject it is inferred that be realizes the party expediency of such a course, and that two members of his cabinet whose counsels would be most likely to influence him are of the same mind. Secretary Windom's northwestern education fits him to revision, while Secretary Blaine nag within 8 few days expressed himself decidedly in hopes that congress will take up the question at once and dispose of it.

By recent acts of oongress every Indian over 21 years of age who receives an allotment of land in severality becomes 8 voter. clothed with every attribute that attaches to citizenship.

The successtull termination of the negotiations of the Sioux Indians by which they surrender 8 large part of their reservation in Dakota, will, It is estimated, by next year throw into the politics of the state of South Dakota the uncertain quantity of 4,937 voters. This vote, thrown solidly as it will in both state and national electione, is likely to become an important factor in that state. Negotiations Dow in progress with other Indian tribes will soon make many thousands more Indian votere. At the interior department it is thought that upwards of 20,000 Indians will be entitled to vote in the next presidential election. How the "red man" will conduct himself as a part and parcel of the nation, and not as its ward, will be watched with a interest by all who are interested in the solution of the Indian problem.
