Farmer Bill Wilson came to town ysfi-terday with a load of potatoes and, after disposing of his product, he fell in with a couple of confidence men at the corner of Third street and Minnesota avenue who had a funny little lock. They got Wilson Interested in the peculiar manner in which the lock could be unlocked without a key, and after a few illustrations, ono of the "con" men wanted to bet the unsophisticated farmer J5 that he could not open the funny little lock. Wilson had heard about these city chaps who always have some new scheme to beat the tiller of the soil, and refused to cover the bet. At this one of the confidence men made the remark that he would bet that the "old farmer" didn't have Jo. This was too much for Wilson, and ho immediately thrust his hand into his inside pocket and brought forth a wallet containing $10.

He no sooner had it in sight when one of the men snatched it from him and started down the street at breakneck speed. Wilson began shouting for the police, and Officer Brown responded, and after chasing the thief for two blocks succeeded In capturing him. At the station he gave his name as James Horan. Wilson's pocketbook and money were found on his person. He was locked up, and will be turned over to the state Mondayv Horan's partner was, arrested later and lodged in No.

Cook, who is rather portly, came to Independence yesterday In quest of the probate clerk. She swept into various county offices in a distracted way and told the tale that her husband had declared to her friends that she was insane and expected to send her to an asylum. She wanted to get ahead of him and prevent proceedings if possible, but in the event that he did prove that she was mentally unbalanced she wanted to keep her personal belongings out of the possession of her husband's relatives. She had several dresses she prized highly, she said but they were coveted by the female portion of her huband's relatives and the charge, of insanity was to be brought against her that the property might be successfully carried away. This was more than her feminine pride could stand "and It was her purpose to thwart their designs.

She had left her husband several times, she said, but the story of her Insanity would follow, her and her would compel her to return to the' cabin boat. Mrs. cook was guaranteed "ample protection should her husband commence proceedings and she left happy, at the thought-that the game was blocked! Mnder Gets m. License.

An Armed Burglar Scared From a. Dwelling by the Screams of a. Little Girl. Mrs. Frances Triplett, of 1233 Harrison street, discovered an armed burglar yesterday morning at 3 o'clock in her bed room.

Mrs, Tripltt reported her experience to tho police yesterday. She said she was awakened by some one moving about in her room. By a. dim light she was able to see! the form and features of a'young colored man, apparently about 23 years of ase, ransacking her bureau drawers. The fellow was well dressed, wore a long black cutaway coat, a high standing collar and a new brown stiff hat.

He also had on light colored trousers. By a movement in her bed Mrs. Triplett unintentionally attracted the attention of tho burlgar, when she realized her situation and was stupl-fied. to see him turn around with a large revolver In his hand and commanded her to silence. "On pertl of your life." said the burglar, polntirff the revolver straight at the defenseless woman, "keep quiet.

If' you scream or make a noise I will shoot you." Mrs. Triplett was paralyzed with fear, but she quickly regained her self-possession. Just then her little girl, who was in be.l with her, awoke, saw the burglar and screamed. The burglar looked nonplussed, for a moment, glanced from Mrs. Trlilett to the child and made a hurried grab into the drawer that was nearest to Mm.

With liis movement Mrs. Triplett sprang, from, her bed and ran screaming from the house, going out by way of the front door. The-burglar, not caring to face the consequences, put his revolver In his pocket and jumped through an open window, the one he had evidently gained entrance to the house through. He was gone by the time the police arrived and has not been located. Mrs.

Triplett missed only a small emerald ring set with chip diamonds. VISITED ALICE PLATT. John Parker, an Old Schoolmate, Calls Upon the Woman. John jParker, a young man from White Rock, who is a witness 'in -the federal courtiarrlved inthe city yesterday. Mr.

Both In the dining room and drawing room a duster should be kept hidden away in some tiny retreat. This will be wanted for so many things, as dust flies about In a provoking manner, and always seems to settle where it Is most seen.

In arranging the flowers there is often some water spilled, which ought to be wiped up at once; besides, there may be various delicate pieces of china which the housewifo should keep dusted herself. The piano keys must come under her care, too, for servants necessarily do not' always know how to clean them. This is done by wiping them with milk, but great care must be' taken not to use too damp a cloth, and to polish them at once. HONORED THE HERO KING. SWEDISH AMERICANS COMMEMORATE DEATH OF ADOLPHUS.
