Culver informs us that the farniture for the big hotel has arriv- ed, and that competent help will be put at work fitting up the rooms without delay, and that it is hoped that the building will be completed and ready for the proprietor to serve his first meal Christmas day. The Democratic newepapers of the state are not disposed to indoree Governor Folk’s demand for the pas- sage of a law empowering the gov- ernor to remove county officlals up- on petition of a certain number of persons charging them with neglect of duty. Probably no suggestion more strongly tinctured with official egotism was ever made.—St, Joseph Observer, For the accommodation of the pub- lic, and especially the church going folks, the clty council ought to put {n a substantial crossing on Ohio street at the corner of the Wyatt lumber yard to county clerk Her- rell’s corner, The way the matter now stands church people from the southwest part of the city have to go to the crossing at the Smith livery barn to get to the C. P. church or wade the mud. Foiled in an attempt to hold up the bank of Boendena at Bendena, Kansas, Friday afternoon, a lone robber, who was after identified as Jesse L. Harrie, of Westport, Mo., tired a bullet into his bratn and died instantly in the bank building. Wil- Ham Dillon, prestdent of the bank, and Theodore Selb, a clork, were the only persons in the bank, when the robber entered. “Hold up your hands,” sedd the robber to the bank- er and his clerk, as they faced an ugly looking revolver. ‘Pull down the blinds and lock the front door,” was the next order. Now get iato the vant. Instead of heeding the command, Selb made a dash fur the rear door and pusséd ont and began calling for help. The robber believ- ng he could not escape shot himself. There was about $6,000 on the counter, when the hold-up was at- tempted. BURGLARS AT WORK. The Hume Post Office Robbed of $1,000.
