A Boys Adventure with a Burglar
nirginta (Nev.) Enterpris

FtTgtHtd lNeO.l EHLSTpTISe.
Last Wednesday evening a burglar
made a determined effort to enter the
house of VIM. Parker, No. 80 South l
street. Mr.. Parker, who works at the
Savage, had been paid off that day In
the evening he went to his work as usual,
and his wife went out to call upon a
neighbor, leaving at the house her son
Willie, aged fourteen, and her little girl,
seven or eight years of age. Soon after
the mother left a burglar came to the
rear door, and, inserting a pair of mp
pers, got hold of the key and began to
turn it. The boy held the key on the
inside Presently he found that the
burglar was twisting the key in his
hand, and getting a penholder that
happened to be within reach, he
put it through the ring of the key. The
penholder was soon broken. when the
boy put the strongest part of it through
the key, and whispered to his little sis
ter to hold it with all her might while he
got pistol. The pistol was a five shoot
er, and when the boy got back he shot
through the lower panel of the door, and
the burglar stampeded. 1t is thought
that the shot took effect in one of the
burglars legs. The range of the bullet
was downward, and in front of the door
is a porch in which itshould have lodged
if it did not find lodgings in the fellows
leg. The boy first proposed getting un-
der the table with pistol and shooting
the burglar as soon as his sister let him
come into the house, but the sister OBJ
iected to this arrangement. The fellow
knew the children had been left in the
house, and called to them, threatening
them if they did not open the door,

The Ending RiIl.

In discussing the funding bill, the St.
Louis Post Dem SAYS: 1.-The question
is, will the almost unanimous predic-
tions of failure by Wall street million
aires, national bankers, and the news
papers under their control be true? Can
this government float 8 per cent. bond
at par? Or are the evil prophecies of
the leading bankers of the country to be
believed3 Can the government effect a
saving of over a million dollars per
month, or about fourteen millions every
year, by exchanging about seven hun
bred millions of and per cent. bonds
maturing for per cent. bonds and
Treasury notes yet to be issuedP A care
full study of the bill at once reveals the
reason for the bitter hostility of the
money rings and national banks.
We believe that the new funding bill
will be an entire success. If so, it will
be the first real popular loan-the first
loan directly taken by the people and
not by 'syndicated' Wall street money
kings, who have made millions and mil
lions out of their syndicate operations
If, as is supposed, subscriptions will be
received publicly for thirty days in near
" all the post offices. banks and sub
treasures, we predict scenes like those
in France after the war of 1873, when
the people stood in line for hours offer

Southern Cotton Mills:

Natchez, Miss, has lately been max
ing an earnest effort to develop manu-
features and become a manufacturing
city, and it has been uniformly success
rul in these endeavors, but most Of all
with its cotton manufactures. The sue
cess of its two cloth and yarn factories,
located within the past two years, has
been remarkable. The cloth factory has
been so crowded with orders that it was
compelled few months ago to suspend
operations, in order to increase its ca
pacity to supply the demand. Mr.. A.
q. Abbot, New England machinist
employed to superintend the erection of
new machinery in the factory, says that
within the past two months it has been
increased from 100 to a 800 loom mill,
and that a new main driving engine-a
complete and improved Corliss of 800
horse power, double the power of the
former engine employed-has been put
up to do the increased work. Mr.
Abbot very pointedly says: Whenever
a cotton factory stops to double its
power, its a sign that its business is
paying"
It should be encouraging to our people
that wherever cotton mills have been
established in the South and properly
managed they have proved profitable in
veStmeEts.

MURDERED BY AMATEUR BURG
LARS.
What a Female Detective Learned
OF an Extraordinary Case.

A very interesting murder trial is
about to begin in Geneva, ILL.,, before
Judge Kellum on a change of venue
from DeKalb county. Seven young
men of Sandwich are under Indictment
for the murder of Hiram P. Allen, a
wealthy citizen of that place. On the
night of February 10, 1880, Allen was
awakened by man at the foot of his
bed, rifing his pockets. He jumped
up and grappled with the burglar,
while Mrs. Allen hid in a closet.
Several shots were fired, and Allen
fell dead. Another burglar, in the
hall, said: ''Have you finished the old
cuss? Why don't you come along2"
They then ran out. Mrs. Allen, aged
twenty, heard them and saw them from
the stairway, but was afraid to go down
until they were gone. A piece of tallow
candle and cap, which the assassins
left, furnish a clew, pointing to several
prominent young men of Sandwich. A
female detective was employed, and, by
the use of wiles known only to herself,
she gained the confidence of one and in
duced him to tell the whole story. 1t
was that these seven young men had
been for over two years leagued together
for the purpose of burglary and high
way robbery; but whether he acknowl.
edged which one shot Mr.. Allen, does
not yet appear. The prosecution claim
to have abundant evidence, but they
also expect one of the number to turn
States evidence.

taken seriously by the bailiffs who came

ever. fell right on his cheek, temple, eye

constable. They received the fluid which
passed over M. Patureau's head. The
commissary is badly burned in the face,
and the other men on their hands, with
which they screened their eyes. There
was an exciting hunt after Lassieur, who
is now lodged in Jail.

Increase Of Pensions.

The people do not fully comprehend
the full extent of the robberies Of their
Treasury that are going on under the
name of pensions to the soldiers. The
legislation that has made the pension
rolls heavy with frauds, and has cast an
annual burden upon the people equal or
greater than that of the national debt,
has been corrupt-undoubtedly procured
in large degree by corruption. In in

New York has been more troubled by
contagious diseases this winter than for
many previous years, which it attributes
to the severity of the season. Owing to
the cold, doors have been kept hermeti-
cally closed, and ventilation of all kinds
thus prevented. The streets, moreover,
have been in foul and unpleasant con-
dition, it being found impossible, on
account of the heavy snowfall, for the
street cleaning bureau to attend to them.
The result has been the prevalence of
small pox, scarlet fever aud diphtheris
The first disease has been pretty well
quarantined and kept In one portion of
the city, but scarlet fever and diphtheria
have been universally prevalent, and
perhaps worse among the rich than in
the houses of the poor. The cases of
smallpox occurring during the months
of January and February were 1913, and
the deaths GO. The winter record for
diphtheria is: cases 2,575, deaths 997;
scarlet fever: cases 1898. deaths GAS.
