"A good deal OF COMPLAINTS being in
Obliged in by the glass workers and
others who have lately moved here,
owing to tho high rents being charged
for houses and rooms. There is good
grounds for this complaint at this time.
The demand for houses is far in excess
OF the supply and, rs in all other lines,
the law Of supply and demand decides
prices. This cannot last long. New
houses are being begun at the rate Of
about twenty-five per week, so that in
a short time owners will be seeking ten
ants instead Of turning them off in
squads, then matters will be entirely
different. Before the summer is half
over there will DO plenty Of good houses
at reasonable rates.
Thieves attempted to enter the hard
ware store OF Addison Harris Thursday
night, or rather Friday morning. They
attempted to bore through the front
doors to get ut the lock and left about q
dozen holes Of different depths; tir-

through the plate glass show window
and reaching in hastily took some re-
volrors and other small articles and de-
parted. The noise awakened Mr.. Har-
ris, who lives over the store, and rails
ing q front window he summoned Off
Ger Vclton who was just making the
rounds and a thorough search was
made but the robbers escaped.
