The Faith we Have
 In the People.

LESS THAN 100 YEARS AGO the pioneers of our manufacturing establish ments broke ground. they had no idea that their acorns would become the mighty oaks which they are to-day. Little they thought that their products would encirele inc globe. wherever civilization has reach ed. But the faith they had in the people. coupled with their knowledge of the neces- sites of the human family. served as the groundwork upon which they based their judgment The capital they possessed con- sisted of brains. perseverance,, untiring industry, courage and a keen sense of business integrity. It was just so with the Waterbury Furniture company. When it broke ground l2 ears ago, who expect it would attain the colossal proportion it has to-day?
 What is the cause of it? How has it won the indorsement of the people and how is it fast winning the patronage of the state? Simply by adhering strictly to business principles and by never forget ting that it is the peoples Servant. not their Master. Thousands of customers are to-day sounding our praises We never gave them a poor sruclr, even though IL were cheap. We have always been ready to right a wrong. We have always en- deavored to keop employees of high grade of character. paying them the highest wages and demanding of them the best results. When, like clap of thunder at midnight, the black plague of the panic year fell upon our customers. we did not prosecute them for what they owed us nor did we shut down on their credit for fu- ture orders. as many firms did And this was at a time when the Waterbury Furni- ture Company had all it could do to keep in the swim and maintain its own credit What wonder is it. now that the furnaces are again burning throughout the land. the hives of industry are humming. the white banner of prosperity is once more un- furled to the breeze-what wonder is 1t, now that happy marriages are again the order of the day-that the people should bear in mind the Liberal House Furnish CTS on East Main Street: No wonder whatever; but it would be great wonder if it were otherwise We have just re- ceived a carload of Glenvood Ranges, which have made so many homes happy. The Quaker Range also we have in stock Our Ranges are from SIS upward. Our stock of Carpets is admired by everybody and the sales are much larger than in any previous year. Our Crockery department is also very complete We have 5O.OOO feet of floor space covered with House hold Furniture.

Then Cleaned Out the Store
 CHICAGO, Oct 31.-A daring robbery was committed in the heart of tho busi- ness center of tho city. Tho amount of plumber secured Is not exactly known, but was given as SC, 900 in watches and other jewelry. c. W. Brethauuer, the senior member of the firm of Brethaer & Co, wholesale jewellers at 27 Washing ton street, had left the office. leaving his son in charge
 The office of the firm Is in room No. on the first floor of the building. It is located in the southwest corner and in plain view of occupants of the office build ings round about Young Brethauer says he was bending over a showcase full of watches in the rear of the room when two men entered the door. One of them car ried a revolver in his hand, and the othor one was armed with piece of lead pipe about two feet long. The jeweler was commanded to throw up his hands, which he was not slow in doing The two men then ordered him into tho door of the vault, the door of which stood open. Ere thausr dsmurred. and ono of the mon caught him by the throat, threw him into the vault and pushed the door shut.
 The thieves then proceeded to ransaok the showcases and scoop the watches into a sack. The door of the safe stood open, and the bandits emptied tho cashbo into the bag, obtaining a considerable sum of money. All this occupied only a few moments, and the men soon made their escape. The senior Brethauer re- turned in about an hour and soon hoard . sound of pounding in the vault. It was hastily opened, and the man taken ous nearly exhausted So far no trace of the thieves has been obtained.

JOHN s. JOHNSON.

on the day before. Tho weather was very threatening, and the rain began to fall just as the quad came out to pace John son for the mile.
 Johnson rode 76 inch geared wheel. He rode in an opposite direction to the ono he took when he is said to have made O paoed mile in l:35 2-5. The course is, in fact, very nearly level. and fast time under like conditions has been made dur electric timing appaIRus worked to per lection. and what little wind did blow came up in slight puffs that were neither 0 help nor a hindrance to good riding.
 The time at the quarter was not caught. but at the half the wheel passed over the line in 55 3-5 seconds, and the third quar- ter was done In l:a6 3-5. Johnson fin ished in splendid shape and rodc on for a short distance before he went back to the start for a try behind tho quad. Through some misunderstanding they slowed after pacing the quarter mark in a4 seconds and about that time the rain began to fall. and tho wires wero taken in.
 The now record of 55 3-5 seconds for the half, unpaced, also is Q reco-d breaker and goes ahead of Tylor's 57 4-o at waltham.
 Johnson is the first man in the world to beat tho trotting. pacing and running horse records; the first man in the world to do the mile with living start and with standing start In less than two minutes, No man ever did a mile in less than l:50 until Johnson did the trick, but ho can nlso claim that he first did the milo un- der 1:4O. and now he Is the only man who has done the mile. unpaced, in less than two minutes, and that Is what Tom Eek has been waiting over in Buffalo for.
 He says he will go to Chillicothe per foctly happy. for his men have done all that ho has looked for while hero. Mir. Eek says there Is ono moro record that Johnson must bring below tho two min ute mark, and that Is the mile skating. which he feels confident Johnson can dc during the coming winter.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


The commissioners appointed by the
legislature to select penitentiary farm
or farms has concluded its labors. A
largo number OF tracts of land, some
good, some bad and great many indif-
ferent, has been offered them, and they
have made personal inspection Of all.
The commissioners decided early in tho
beginning to recommend the purchase
of two farms, one in the delta, the other
in the hills, and after careful inspec-
tion OF half million acres, decided on
the best half dozen places in the several
offered, and then inspected again.
The result of their labor was that the
Roach & Beeman place in Yazoo County,
about ten miles south Of Yazooo City,
ON the L., n. 0. & T. road, and contain
ing 4,793 acres, was purchased, the price
being sl5 per acre, or S7l,S95. The hill
purchase is the tract offered by Messrs.
Hunter & Stevens, situated in Rankin
County, about five miles from jackson
by dirt road and also by the Alabama Il
Vicksburg railroad, 3,207 acres, ats6 per
acre, or S10,242. The two tracts contain
exactly $500 acres, the number the COM
missioners were authorized by the legis-
lature to purchase, and they have done
we'll to locate part in the rich delta and
the other in the hills.
While the commissioners are empow-
cred to simply recommend the purchase
of these lands, it is hardly probable that
the Governor will decline to indorse
their action.
