A Pros Concern

We extract the following from "The
Living Church." edited by the Rev.
John Fulton, D. D.:
One Of the firms of Milwaukee.
whose progress illustrates the success
which attends integrity, energy and en-
terprise, is that Of James Morgan.
When Mr.. Morgan began business five
years age, he had in his employ but
eight persons. Now, at his great es-
adjustment, Nos. 1856 and 3SS East
Water street, over one hundred employ
es are busily engaged in various de-
partments. In dress-making and the
manufacture Of cloaks, Morgan stands
among the first, and the satisfaction of
his customers is shown by the new ex-
tensions of his business which are
called for every few months.

BURGLARY.-C. A. Dewey's hard
ware store was entered by burglars
last Friday night and robbed of valua-
bles to the amount Of about $500. A
number Of pocket knives were found
on the road between this city and Ra-
cine, last Saturday morning, which
Mr. Dewey identified as a portion of
the stolen property, but otherwise no
clue has thus far been obtained, either
to the property or thieves. From all
the circumstances, it seems that the
robbers effected an entrance from Park
street, through the ware house in the
rear Of the store, but how they sue
ceeded in going from the ware honse
into the store is a matter of consider
able mystery, as the door communicate
ing between them was bolted on the
inside by large iron bar, which ordi-
narily could only be removed from the
inside. Quite number incline to the
opinion that a confederate must have
secreted himself in the store before
closing and admitted the others during
the night. The property taken was
carefully selected, and the conclusion
is, that the thieves were good judges
of fine hardware. Every effort is being
made to discover the robbers, but the
case looks hopeless.

ALL HALLOWEEN Thursday
night was Halloween, and in accor-
dance with an old custom, which
would be more honored in the breach
than in the observance, a large num-
Der of "kids" around town amused
themselves by throwing cabbages at
the front doors of prominent citizens.
Among other places visited, was the
residence of eX-alderman Riley, on Wis

ly posted on the extraordinary ceremo-
MES practiced on this particular eve

with shot gun, which he had loaded
with q generous charge of rock salt
and on their appearance he gave the
boys the full benefit of his knowledge
of military science; a lesson they will
not soon forget, for rumor says sever
al Of them spent the remainder of the
night in removing the saline particles
from a not very accessible portion of
their anatomy. In future Mr.. Riley's
house will receive special immunity.
