not catch the thief and the marauder
came in and lugged off his booty with
out even awakening the detective. The
other night Officer Horschak noticed a
bunch of bananas moving suspiciously
in the window as he was passing and
stopped to investigate. The result was
the arrest of Soupe. He said that he
had been making regular visits to the
store for the past four months and had
also entered other places.

Foster "Humane Society
Meet Monday.
Will
To Discuss Plans to Erect a
Permanent Home.
ALREADY OWN A SITE.
Also Have About 3,000 Avail
able in Money.
New Officers Will Be Elected at
the Meeting.
A meeting of theofficers and the board
of directors of the Fester Humane so
ciety has been called for Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock. December 3, in the of
fice of the secretary of the association,
Sam Radges, in the Office block.
The purpose of this meeting will be the
election of new officers and directors for
the ensuing vear and the formation of
plans for the furtherance of the object
of the society.
Among the many things which will
come before the meeting will be the dis
cussion of the plans for the erection of a
building which will be the permanent
home of the society-.
Four years ago, November 15. ISM.
the constitution and by-laws of the or
ganization were adopted. Judge Cassius
G. Foster was the prime mover in the
organization of the society and a lot
was donated by him on which to build
a permanent home near Ninth street on
Kansas avenue.
The need of such an institution as this
was long felt before the initiative steps
for its establishment were taken by
Judge Foster. Since that time a great
deal of good has been accomplished by
this society. While the work has not at
tracted widespread notice it has been
going ouietly on nevertheless and it is
due to the influence of the members and
officers of this association that better
treatment of dumb animals in this city
has materially increased.
Few arrests have been made on
charges preferred by members of the
Humare society but the members have
been to a greater or lesser extent active
in the work for the betterment of the
conditions of the dumb animals in this
city.
The society has at present in one of
the bark? cf the city J1.1S4. One thou
sand dollars more is due the society
from the estate of the late Judge Foster,
who left that amount for the use of the
society in his will.
About tSCO m-re has been pledged by
two or three prominent business men in
the city towards the building fund and
may be collected at any time the society
calls for it. This makes a total of nearly
fu,y''i which the society alread has
available.
For the past two years few calls have
?WK0v. 14,1900.
& Co.
been made for money by this organiza
tion but following this meeting it is ex
pected that an active interest will be ta
ken by the members in raising enough
more money to erect a creditable build
ing on the site donated for that purpose
by Judge Poster.
A life membership to the association
costs $100. As many as possible will be
induced to join, and voluntary subscrip
tions will be asked for. By this means
it is anticipated that enough funds may
be raised this fall to begin the erection
of the building in the spring.
The architect's plans and specifica
tions have not been made and will not
be made until the society finds about
how much money will be available for
the work.
A building which will be a credit to
both the city and the society wjll be
erected. It may possibly be three stories
high. The Humane society will have its
offices in the building. The other rooms
would be rented and the revenue derived
this way will be ud in the maintenance
of the society and us work.
The building will be exempt from tax
ation as it will be used for charitable
purposes.
In addition to this It Is the plan to
build a barn in the rear in which to care
for horses and other animals pirked up.
The meeting Monday promises to bo
interesting and every one who is inter
ested in the work of the Humane soci
ety, whether they be members or not,
are urged to attend.
