Burglary.

Last evening the residence Of Miss
Crawford, on Highland St was entered by
burglar who gained admittance through
the kitchen window. He entered the
room occupied by Miss c., opened couple
of trunks, carefully examined them, but
took nothing Of value. He then went into
the adjoining room, occupied by Geo.
Crawford, Esq, deputy county treasurer,
and helped himself to a pair Of pants con-
tanning a watch and chain and few keys.
A vest containing pocket book and some
papers was not disturbed. Not feeling
satisfied with this haul he returned to
Miss CO. room, but in doing so stumbled
against sewing machine which aroused
Mr.. Crawford. The burglar then made
his escape. The residence of Mr.. Hawley,
Of the First National Bank, was also enter
ed, but beyond can of peaches, nothing
was missed.

Why Not on SuudaY2

Is the decoration of soldiers graves such
a purely worldly and secular affair as to pre-
vent its being done on Sunday? We say
no. The day fixed is May Both, but that
day, this year, is Sunday, and so the Puri-
tan element is afraid to go to the grave yard
on Sunday and drop some flowers on the
graves. We think it the best day in the
week for such an exercise, and one calculat-
ed to squelch the little party bummers
and "sich, who have been running the
G. A. Il. business for the last ten years.
And we are glad to see that the German
Americans of Dubuque have called meet
ing to take measures to observe the Iegu-
lar day, though it does come on Sunday.
We hope our German-American friends
will adhere to their position and help
squeeze the bigotry and Puritanism out Of
the small minds who have been running
that machine,

Jno. C, Brown Booked for the State
Prison.

Nearly everybody will rejoice to know
that John G. Brown has been convicted Of
larceny and is to go to Joliet. The jury
fixed his term in prison at one year. Pub
lie opinion would warrant Is years, but the
particular crime (complicity in stealing
wolf robes) probably would not justify a
longer term, but on general principles IL
years would be about right for man who
has led the life he has and abused his suf::
fering family as he has, leaving them and
consorting with such characters as Mol
Weir. Mrs. Wier was not convicted, the evi
dence being hardly sufficient, though hel
guilt few doubt.
There are two other indictments agains
Brown and his paramour, but as they ART
for the same crime Ian indictment for eacf
robe) it is hardly probable that another
trial will take place. Of course Brown
attorneys made motion for a new trial.

seen fit to drag into the public prints the

with the scandals which Geo. G.. Nichols,

number. That the purpose of this infam-
