S. Durham, one of our popular grocers.
Mr.. D. is an intelligent, agreeable gentle

for all that may be discovered and made
note of in the great " st. He is accom-
panied by Mr.. Soaring, son-in-law of Mr..
u. S. Durham, vide awake buslnt 8
man, who yearly makes independence
the objective point of a tour Of health,
pleasure and fun, and never fails of Sc
curing all of three.
C. Reed, late local Of the Dubuque
Times, but now on his way to take
charge of the Colorado Chieftain, pub
lishcd at Puebla, Col, has been spending
few days in this city the present week.
Mr.. Reed is spicy writer and will make
his mark in his new field of labor The
field is broad enough to give scope to the
largest amount of editorial energy.
WE were pleased to receive call the
other day from Mr. j. II. Field, the trav-
cling correspondent, "Co mopolitc" of the
E.o1I -,
genial, companionable gentleman, spent

After having spent about two months
in the eastern market, Mr.. N. o. Lawton
has returned, and will again be found al
his position, in the old New York
Store.
As has been noticed in the past issues
Of the BULLETIN, he has obtained bar
gains which will be of great value to their
customers One noticeable advantage
in Mr.. Lawton's remaining east 80 long,
is seen in his picking out Of styles. For
some time past, the New York Store has
had the credit Of being the foremost in
this particular, and their reputation is
mole than held good this fall. Yet that
is not the most important feature. Price
governs all things, and from the fact OF
the New York Store selling for 10 to 20
per cent lower than other houses, is the
true secret of their doing the Lions
share of the business of our city.

Horse TuIEyING AND ATTEMPT AT MUIR
DER.-Mention was made in the BULLET.
last week, of the bold attempt to steal
pair of horses belonging to II. Burling
ham, and a new wagon belonging t.
Dale & Human, which was frustrated by
the team becoming unmanageable. Tit
next night, which was Friday of las
week, the same bold scoundrel repeated
the experiment at the premises of Mr.
V. Klotzbach, at the south end of Walnut
st. Near II o'clock on the night in
question, Mr. Klotzbach was aroused
from slumber by the furious and contin.
ual barking Of his dog. Taking note Of
the unwOnted demonstration, Mr.. X.
arose and opening his front door, discov-
cred at his stable, few rods from the
house and fronting on the street, one Of his
horses out and hitched to tree, his new
buggy, worth $175, placed in position for
hitching to, with buffalo robe, from the
granary in it, and man coming out of
the stable with dark lantern in one hand,
and over the other arm a set of harness,
which he threw down near the door. At
this instant Mr. X. with an oath, excusa.
bic under the circumstances, demanded
of the scoundrel what he was doing. The
thief responded by drawing a pistol, and
the information that he would give the
contents to his interrogation if he did not
keep quiet. Let it come" says K, and
ON the instant it did come, but missed its
mark The rascal menaced Mr. Klotz
bach with another shot if he stirred from
his tracks, but by this time the latter had
got his Dutch up, and grasping short
piece Of scantling, he went for the impu
dent rascal. This was the signal for the
second shot, the bullet coming uncom-
fortably close to Mr.. KS head. Then the
villain, who was also coward, took to his
heels, making for the brush. klotzbach
followed some distance but failed to get
further sight of the fellow.
He was heard of the next morning as
having made an attempt to steal the hor
ses of Mr. Davis, who lives few miles
south of town, resuming his pistol prac-
tice on a faithful dog who objected, and
also as succeeding in getting clear off
with horse belonging to Mr.. Backus,
the burning Of whose whole crop of grain
was chrOnicled in the BULLETIN a few
weeks ago

unhung villains whose bestial appettes
and passions should be justification for
their exclusion from civilized society, en-
tered the residence of Mr. Shiplcy, in the
Morse block, on Tuesday evening, and
in the absence of the family at the circus,
attempted nameless outrage upon lit
tie daughter of Mr.. s., 10 years of age
The rascal seems to have followed his
purpose with great persistency The lit,
tie girl, frightened at his threatening
demonstrations, fled for assistance to the
Burr House, the proprietor of which, Mr.
Backus, returned with her and put the
fellow out of the house but scarcely had
he left when the villain returned and re-
newed his prosecutions. She again flew
to the Burr House, and two of the circus
men went back with her, and finding the
lecherous scOundrel still in the house,
kicked him out without ceremony
The circus men passed down street
far as the corner of Walnut St, and re-
turning few moments later, heard, on
passing Mr.. Shipleys residence, cries of
the little girl as if in distress. They re-
entered the house and discovered the vii
lain again terrifying the child with his
advances One of the circus boys, with
out ceremony, struck out from the shout
der. knocking The rascal fiat on the floor,
and the other gave him some lusty kicks
as he lay. They then bundled him out
into the street neck and heels, when he
left, and has not since been seen. 1t
would not be favorable to his bodily
health to fall in Mr.. Shipley's way for
some time to come.

Last July.

Last July while the thermometer was
playing around 1902 in the shade, and
when the very words of flannel or winter
goods would only serve to bring an extra
gush Of Precipitation to the surface, Mr..
N. o. Lawton of the New York Store
took his departure for the east, knowing
that the failure of the cotton crop and
the great advance of wool would cause
higher prices for those who purchased
late in the season. Never was there
made a more fortunate move. On his ar
rival in the markets he found many of
the iobbcrs getting in readiness for the
fall trade, and although they knew goods
would go much higher in price, being
anxious to start trade early, and having
on hand quite supply carried over at
low figures, they offered them at the old
price. This was what Mr.. Lawton from
past experience had expected, and by be-
ing the first on the ground from this sec
ton, his purchases made, will be worth
thousands upon thousands Of dollars to
independence and the surrounding coun
try; for it is not the practice # the New
York Store to buy high and sell high and
therefore sell but few goods, but on the
contrary to take every advantage OF the
market, buy their goods at the very low
est rates and sell correspondingly low,
thereby not only benefiting themselves
by having the largest trade in this part OF
the State, but bcnefiting their customers
by selling to them lower than could 9th
erwise be done

SPRING POWER.

To the Editors Of the Union snd American:
AS the above named "power" is put
forth for public patronage and claims for
itself certain and many advantages, it is
not unfair to the inventor, and is GER
tainly due his patrons that its merits
should be freely discussed, for whatever
good it may contain will certainly not
suffer by the test
All that has hitherto been published in
regard to this power has led to the gen.
eral belief that its application to ma
chinery-especially sewing machines
would greatly reduce the labor and exer-
ton at present required to run them. In
the letter of your correspondent Y, of
the 29th ulL, it now appears that no
saving of power is contemplated in the
mschine-it merely "stores up" power in
Quantities 10 suit. 1t is then not labor
saving machine, but merely reservoir,
i. e.. box of condensed muscular
strength. The article also speaks of its
economy as already applied to light ma
chiuery, but gives no data upon which a
Judgment of the economy can be based.
1t is hard to realize the existence of an
economy where nothing is saved, and as
the whole success and utility of the in
vention rests on this point, it will be OF
great advantage to know wherein it con-
sists.
The following simple question will give
the answer. What force is requisite tC
"store up" given amount of power in 8
given time? and what amount of machine
work at the ordinary speed, will this
"atored up" power performi
To say that winding for Stow min
utes" gives force enough to drive ma
chine for s'hours, is too indefinite. Time
considered by itself, amounts to nothing
though a most important element II
the measurement of toIee.
The expressed purpose of this inven
ton is to tighten labor. If it does no
this, or requirts a servant to continually
wind, it is no help at all, but rather me
chanjcal encumbrsDce, and, with all def
erence to your correspondent, l must re
assert there will be more physical labo
required TO ''stnre up" and prepare The
power for use, than would be consumed
in running a machine without it, for tn
same mechanical reasons stated in 10,
former letter. w. J. BAILEY.
