More Thieying.

Some thief entered the pantry at
the residence of Mr.. Adolph Seel-
horst, in the southeastern part OF
the city Thursday night, and ap-
priated a lot of provisions.
On the same night some one en-
tered the fowl house of Mr. W.
Bucherl, on Jackson street, pulled
the heads off of all his chickens and
carried the chickens away, leaving
the heads to show, how many he had
taken. He also entered little
house in the yard where there was a
lot of carpenters tools and pair of
saddle-bags. The tools were packed
in the saddle-bags and hung out of
the window at which tie thief en-
tered, but he must have got fright
ened away as they were left there
after the trouble of stealing them
and packing them up.
These almost nightly thefts recall
incidents that have occurred with
the night providers, one of the best
of which was the thief that went to
Mr.. Harry SWANS chicken house
one rainy night and stealing one
chicken left a good umbrella sitting
at the fowl house door.

The Guess Party.

The ''guess" party by the o. o. o.
society at the residence of Maj.
Lauraine's Thursday night furnished
considerable amusement in the re.
lation of experience in getting there.
Mr.. Hugh Lusk was the first one
there, receiving the first prize which
was a handsome silver match box.
Mr.. J, W. Beattie was the last one
to arrive, receiving the BOBBY prize,
bar Of turpentine soap, which was
richly earned. He was out early
trying to find out where the party
was to be and called on Miss Lizzie
Dryer to give him a 'tip." Miss
Lizzie agreed confdentially to tell
him, "being that it was him." pro-
vided he would agree not to tell any
of the other boys, naming the resi-
dence of Judge Garrett as the place,
which is mile out. Beattie walked
out through the mud and when
Judge Garrett informed him that his
walk had been in vain, he grew
sympathetic and told him that as he
had walked so far to get to the
party, he didn't mind telling him,
Beattie, that the party was OF the
residence of DR.. W. A. Lockett's,
which carried him across the city
again only to meet with the same
disappointment. But time and pa
thence will accomplish wonders and
Beattie reached the party at a late
hoIr considerably worried. After
resting while he went promenading
with a young lady and failed to
guess the length of the front
veranda and walked off at the end
which was some four feet high.

Wilkins, who we're in an alley watch.
ing for two of the young ladies in
order to ascertain where the party
was to be, ran out after two servant
girls on their way home, and fright
ened them considerably, and Mr..
Chas. Wilkins followed at respect
able distance, a colored couple who
happened to be going towards DIR.
Lockett's until they passed there,
thinking it was some of the o. O.
O's., going to the party. There was
some bad guessing" as to where it
was to be, and there were perhaps
many that didn't find out at all
where the party was held, as many
who were sent invitations were not
out.

open. Some sixty-fve thousand
dollars have been raised and the pur-
pose of the company now is, not
only to operate the oil mill, but if
sufficient stock can be raised, to put
in soap factory, a fertilizer factory
and an electric light plant.
These enterprises are good ad-
iuncts for an oil mill as part of the
same power can be used as well as
much of the material for the soap
and fertilizer factories that would
otherwise go to waste. Those of our
citizens who have surplus cash
should come up and subscribe to the

raise the amount necessary to add
these factories. They will add ma.
terially to the city's trade.

CHAPTER IL.

The glorious Christmas sun had hid
behind the western hill, and just over
the top Of Berkman Hill, that arose on
tile east side Of the village, the moon
was peeping. Its soft rays fell lightly
upon the little village, and with its
white cottages stretched along the one
street, the scene presented was a pref
ty one. No foul-mouth courtesans or
profane men with brains befuddled
with liquor were abroad here. All
was quiet, the little village seemed a
sanctified spot, little paradise on
earth. All had retired to their own
hearthstones, regretting that the day,
full Of happiness, was almost closed,
regretting that Christmas Is would
soon be in the past.
1T had been the custom for years
back. no one knew just how long, to
ring the village churchbell every night
At 8 O'Clock, and as if compelled by
law. when the bell began ringing, the
lights in the peaceful little homes
would be extinguished and the hardy
