How a Contemplated burglary Was
Nipped in the Bud.

There is no doubt but that some of our
local crooks have concluded to go into the
burglary business again, and our business
men should see that extra precautions arc
taken. A few nights ago two notorious
thieves had preparations well advanced to
crack the safe in a market street retail
store, rightly concluding that the heavy
Christmas trade of the afternoon and even
ming would leave a good deal of cash in
the place, but the scheme was nipped in
the bud by an officer in plain clothes call
ing al the store, warning the proprietor,
and volunteering to stay in the place all
night. One of the crooks spotted the OFF,
Ger through a window about IL o'clock,
and made of with his companion. The
same night q shop in East Wheeling was
broken open and riled of tools and some
of them were used to effect an entrance
into the Wheeling Beef Company's estab-
lishment.

Bctter outlook.

Encouraging proofs continue To come
from the mining field as one result after
another blossoms forth, which has cost
years Of toll and many dollars in money.
The hard labor and faithful persistence
which has been expended in so many
unknown and unobserved portions of
our vast mineral bearing territory is
coming at last to the harvest and the
outlook is certainly full of encourage
ment, e TO those who have almost
lost faith in the recompense coming II
the slow and tedious march of events
The coming season, when all that mas
been accomplished is realized, will mark
II of the most important epochs in the
mining history of this country. Mel
will awake and find a new dispensatlon
with the magnificent productive in
dustry of mining established upon a
new foundation, clean, solid, enduring
Its requirements more generally I'M
derstood, it real object clearly outlined
and its possibilities better comprehend
ed. Mining never yet has shown its
best results and most valuable char
acteristics from the fact that they have
not been sought in the line where they
alone are to be found, but the marked
improvement in satisfactory returns,
shows that men from experience are
learning wisdom and more nearly APP
preaching the true line Of successful
operation.-Chicago Mining Review,
