The two burglars capture 1 by Officer
Martin , of the Merchants' police , In the
cigar store of Moore ft ICipllnger , Monday
night , gave the names of Thomas Sullivan
and F. C. Raymond. They were caught in
the act of "going through" the knife case ,
and had several do/en cigars and some snull
change , taken from the money drawer , con
cealed upon their persons. Hoforo they
wore aware of his presence the officer haJ
them covered with his revolver and they
obeyed his order to "throw up their hands "
They could offer no resistance and wcro
speedily landed in the city Jail. They were
taken before 'Squire Schurz yesterday
morning for their preliminary examination.
They waived and wcro committed to the
county jail , in default of 5)0 ) bonds , to await
the action of the grand Jury , which meets on
the 7th of next month.
They are both tough looking characters
and are evidently old hands at the business.
They effected nn entrance ) to the cigar store
by breaking In the rear door , which was
easily done , as the lloor bolt was not
fastened. They wcro both provided with a
full set of now style skeleton keys , and could
easily pick almost any door lock in the city.
The keys consist of a plain tube , about the
sl/c of a lead pencil , In the end of which Is a
slot through which a small cross piece oper
ates. This is governed from the handle ,
and It can readily bo adjusted to turn a lock.
After lilting it , all that is necessary Is to
turn a small set screw , and the key is ready
for business. There were ten of them , of
various si/es , and they would furnish the
means of doing untold mischief.
Their capture is a very fortunate one , and
Onicer Thomas is entitled to great credit for
his prompt and decisive action in placing
them behind the bars. There is a clear case
iigainst them , and they will undoubtedly go
over the road for a lengthy term.

A Convention of Twelve.
The prohibition convention of the Ninth
congicssional district met at Dohany's old
opera house at 11 o'clock yesterday and or-
ganicd by electing Hev. T. F. Thickstun
chairman , and Uov. C. Hover secretary.
A committee consisting of James Michel-
wait , Henry Coker , and C. Hover was ap
pointed to examine the republican ticket and
ascertain if any of the candidates were unfa
vorable to prohibition. The democratic ticket
was ignored.
Adjourned to 1:45 : p. in.
In the afternoon the committee reported.
Judge Heed , the republican nominee was
highly commended as a straightforward
Christian gentleman , but it was deemed ad
visable to nominate a candidate more in sym
pathy with the prohition movement. A com
mittee consisting of A. Overtbn , Henry
Coker , of this city , and L. P. Anderson , of
Mills county , was appointed to select a can
didate. The name of Colonel L. W. Tullcys
was presented and carried by acclamation.
A committee consisting of C. Hoover and L.
W. Tullcys were appointed to look up a party
organ.
Mrs. H. C. Allen , of Missouri Valley , then
addressed the convention. Her address was
rather brief but eloquent and forcible. She
urged the necessity of keeping up the third
partv movement. The convention then ad
journed. It was stated that the object of
nominating a party candidate was to preserve
the individuality of the party rather then because -
cause of any objection to Judge Heed.
There wore not over a do/en at the conven
tion. The action in regard to Judge Heed
seems rather strange as it was but the day
before the convention that ono of its leaders ,
who wasalsj ono of the committee tor select
ing a congressional candidate , told a llic : re
porter that there was no question about
.Imlgo Heed buing endorsed.
The affair cuts very little figure here either

Forces in the Street.
The city engineer's force went to Hcnton
street yesterday to run the lines for the new
sidewalks ordered by the council. It was
found that nearly all of the fences between
Uroaihvuy and Washington avcauo are from
two to twelve feet out into the street. They
will all have to bo moved back , as well as ono
or two of the houses. Vic Jennings is the
only property owner whoso fences are on the
line. The mistake is due to the fact that no
engineers were employed to give correct
lines , and everything was done by guess
work.

Among the lonesome looking fellows who
faced Squire Schurz in police court yesterday
morning , was ono whose face was readily
recognized by the reporters. It was the well
kaownphyslognuiy of a traveling man in the
employ of ono of the leading wholesale
houses of the city. A few days since Tim
HUE referred to a certain traveling man who
was preparing to cause himself trouble by
following the wife of a leading business man ,
and it seems that the trouble came sooner
than was expected , and from a different
quarter. The causes that led to his arrest
areas follows : As Senator Oroncwcg was
returning to his home on Washington avenue
Monday evening about U o'clock , ho noticed
a man endeavoring to hide behind a tree on
his grounds. Ho went up to the fellow , who
could givu no coherent account of himself ,
and the senator promptly stalled with him to
the police station. When they reached the
Hryant street bridge the prisoner refused to
go uny farther , but the law-maker began to
use his lungs to such good effect that the de
linquent saw that it was no use to refuse ,
and went ncaccably along to the station.
When asked by the Judiro concerning his
business there , he stated that ho was just a
trifle s'vcot on the senator's servant girl ,
and went up to see If she had retired. This
girl , by the way , is the same Hoslu Fisher
who scalded Hilly Smith u few mouths ago.
He said that he had been drinking , and the
Judge let him oft with a fine ol 13.10. Mr.
Traveller begged the boys not to give awny
his name , as it would surely cost him his sit
uation , and the tender hearted scribes could
do nothing but acquiesce.

FlYcd For Surprises.
The local agent of ono of the many rail
roads centering hero had a surprise party
some time ago that unsettled his nerves to
quite a considerable extent , but he is fixed
for surprises now and it will take a lively
one to catch him. Yesterday a Hn : reporter
dropped into his office and found him writing
at a furious rate.
"What's upl" queried the newsgathcrcr.
"Nothing much. I am Just preparing a
surprise for myself. I llnd that 1 appreciate
these surprises a great deal more when I fix
them for myself than when someone clso
springs them on me. I am writing to my
wife and sending her u pass to come homo
on. When she went away before she took
her return pass with her. She came homo
when she got ready , and I didn't know when
she was coming. 1 found nut , though , and I
shall not forget it. She came on the evening
train. I was down to Joe's that evening
plaving poker. It was late and I stayed all
night. Joe got breakfast in the morning and
I came straight to the ollleo. Went over
home at noon , and there was my wife in a
beautiful frame of mind. Had sat up all
night waiting for the husband that didn't
come. She hasn't forgotten it yet , but time
is healing the breach.
"You have heard of the man who profits by
experience , of course , and now you behold
him. When she went this time I told her 1
would send her return transportation by
mail. I am now ready for her to come home.
\ hen she gets here I will know It , and if
you can manage to bo on hand I will show
you how to do the grand welcome act to per
fection. In the language of the psalmist ,
"Tis sweet lor husband and wife to dwell
together in unity , ' and don't you forget it. "

boom last year. So wo did , just a little
one , but it was not a marker to what is
beginning now. There has never been

so many lots and at such uniformly good
Drices as we have made during the past
two days. Twin City place , Benson's

fact all along the line , there lia.s been a
rush such as wo never saw before. The

"Ah , you rid , I see. "
Dr. Peabody was wonderfully pleased
with this sally , and on his return homo
attempted to repeat it for the benefit of
his family.
"Dr. Holmes was extremely witty this
afternoon1 ho said. "We wont to sco
Kurydice , and when I drove up he said
just as quick as a Hash : "Ah , doctor ,
