Gbe Gintes, New BLOOMFIELD, 1Da.

A Bold RObber. six o'clock on
Tues day evening last stranger entered
the jewelry establishment Of Mr.. Q. @.
Shannon, during his absence, and requested
the clerk in attendance to show him some
of the best gold watches he had in the
store with view to making purchase.
The clerk took from the show case the two
most valuable watches in the establishment
and placed them on top of the case for
the inspection of the would-be purchaser,
and then turned his back for the purpose of
getting piece of chamois skin to polish
them. As he turned around the stran ger
gobbled up both watches and beat rapid
retreat out of the main entrance and up
Fourteenth street, and under the cover of
darkness and there being no one present to
give chase, he soon succeeded in making
good his escape. The watches stolen are
of Swiss manufacture, heavy gold hunting
cases, and are valued at five hundred dol
lars. Persons in the vicinity who saw the
thief running aver that he ha6 an accom-
plice who was standing on the sidewalk
waiting the result of the undertaking, and
that both men ran UP Fourteenth street to-
gether. It was certainly a bold piece Of
villainy, and executed by scoundrels who
had been lying in wait for just such an op-
portunity that they took advantage of. At
present writing there is no clue to the rob-
bers.-Altoond Tribune.

the best stories we have read for months. But
as q cotemporary says, the stories, the fashions
the patterns, in short, everything in Peterson is
the best of It's kind. The price of this Maga-

Farmers VS.. Millers. THE farmers and
millers of Berkeley county, w. Va, have
fallen out in regard to the matter of how
much wheat it takes to make barrel of
flour. The Winchester Times says that at
recent meeting of the former, resolutions
were adopted setting forth in strong terms
that the millers were robbing them by ex-
acting too much wheat for the returns they
made in flour. One of the resolutions de-
manded that five bushels of wheat or its
equivalent value in money shall secure to
the holder 1876 pounds of -four and 60
pounds of offal. AS a means of counteract-
ing this alleged extortion, it was determin-
ed to form joint stock company to erect
a mill and carry on the business ON the CO.
operative plan. In most cases the millers
allow only a barrel to six, and sometimes
six and a-half bushels of wheat. Investi-
cations in the commissariat of the United
States Army are said to prove that four
and half bushels will make barrel.
An informant says that in 1910 he had
twenty three barrels of flour "extra" flour
ground from one hundred bushels, and it
passed inspection in Baltimore. Of course
there are the invariable two sides of this
question; discussion will do no harm.

Rascality in York Co.,-on Monday

Rascality In York Co.,-0n Monday
night of last week, another raid was made
on the vouchers in the Court house at
York. All the accounts for the past six
years were taken, together with the stubb
book, in which is contained the record of
notes issued by the county, and the most
important Of all, the reauditor's report it
self was stolen, which was to have been
filed at the November court, containing ev-
idence of most gigantic frauds. Last March
soon after the Legislature appointed the
reauditing committee, the, court house was
entered and all the vouchers stolen. Not
withstanding the check thus caused the
reauditors, they succeeded in unearthing
frauds to the amout of $4,000, r,Hlt

it's death kuelI is being sounded. !

its death knell is being sounded. The
war must be forgotten, or regarded only
as lamentaole family quarrel, the me-
mory OF which must be buried in the
more cheerful contemplation OF acts of
renewed good will and amity. It is this
idea which inspires Liberalism with such
lofty enthusiasm, and raises it high
above all parties or mems political prin.
oiples. It addresses itself as much to
the hearts as to the heads of the people.
Fundamental doctrines, time.honored
principles, and all such political plnti-
tudes, must go down before it, for it
means more than all these thinge.
Let those croak of Horace Greeley 3
