that was ever known to that quie
little burg. Some time during the. nigh
burglars entered the dry goods store

of the back door. Once inside the polished
Williams proceeded to open the safe by profes

found upon the premises the following morn

1t, and took therefrom over $4,000 in current
funds; after which they quietly took few
cigars from an open box on the shelf, and az

The great struggle between the manufacturer
and spinners begins Tomorrow. The genera
opinion is that the manufacturers will win
though the spinners affirm they will make
costly victory. The manufacturers held
meeting in the board of trade room this after
noon to decide whether or not to attempt Il
run the mills. All agreed it would be tn
wisest course to continue running. Most Q
the mills paid the spinners to-day in full, an,
others will do SO tomorrow. One mill super
intendent told his spinners as they were pai
to-day to look elsewhere for employment, a
in future no male spinners would be employees
at that mill, He also told them they must va
cate their tcnements next week, as he ha,
spinners to take their places. Some few mill
had enough filing ahead to run few weeks
while others are worked close up. ..

ENGLISH GRAIN .a1ss3 ''
The Mark Lane, Egpress says wheat
promises but fairly on mixed and light soils
and the condition Of the crop on heavy lands
