A RESIDENCE ROBBED.
Thieves Make good Haul on the South
Side.
Wheeling Register.

DR.. l.. N Burchinal's residence at
No 1880 Chapline street, was robbed
Sunday night One dozen solid sill
yer spoons, valued at $40 alone, the
finest articles of the kind in the
house, a plush wrap and lady's
silk dress are missed. The Doctor
thinks there were numerous other ar.
ticles taken, which he cannot &C.
count for now. Doors were pried
open, beds were upturned, cases were
broken into, and trunks were brok-
en- open and plundered.
A week ago the doctor, accompan-
led by his wife,left the city to spend
the holidays at Warrington. His
brother Arnold is clerk at Edward
Bookings drug store. This young
man rooms at the doctors house, but
in the absence of Mr.. Booking from
the city has been sleeping at the
drug store, leaving the doctors .esi-
dence uninhabited.
Mr.. Burchinal came down from
the drug store last Sunday morning
for articles of clothing and found
things inside the house in the condi-
tion named. He Immediately tele-
graphed the doctor, who arrived
home yesterday. He said he had
Just come home to see what the
thieves had left"
The thieves had entered from the
rear through the pantry. They had
made their way through the entire
house. The gas had been lighted
and left burning. A lady's trunk
was broken open, and the doctor does
not know what was taken from it.
Also trunk, owned by his brother
Harold, had been pried open, but
some rare coins had been left undis-
turbed. DR.. Burchinal said he
thought woman had been in some
way connected with the robbery, as
most of the articles missing were
those belonging to lady.

A Painful Accident.

Mrs. Daniel Fordyce met with a
very painful accident, one from which
the prospects of speedy recovery are
not at all flattering, last Saturday.
She had been i'll for some DAYS, and
when she got up and walked across
the room she fell in faint and with
such force as to fracture the bones
in her hip. She has had necessary
surgical attention ever since the &C
cident. She is, as result of the ac-
cident, forced to endure great suffer-

Our mutton is sold as mutton

with a = are those which were on
the Firemen's Ticket, consequently
those receiving majorities. The
commissioners of the election made
out certificate in the usual familiar
form to the effect that those were
the men receiving majorities and
went their way mot troubled with
unrest for omissions sin committed. y
Monday night council met in the
capacity of canvassing board to
declare the result of the election.
They were confronted with an en-
barrassing situation and the corpor-
alton counsel, Frank Cox. Mr.. Cox
was called upon and made an address
which was interpolated with quota.
tions from two imposing volumes,
the Code of West Virginia aud the
Acts of 1898. He showed that the
law was formerly in municipal cleo
tions that it was optional whether
the Australian system of balloting
be used or not, but that the law as
amended Feb. %, 1898, is to the eff
feet that every municipal election
shall be held in conformity with the
provisions of the Australian ballot
act. This is an amendment of sec
ton 50 of Chapter of the Code
We'll, the election was not in con
formity with the amended law, and
is clearly illegal. There is no doubt
about that. But that was not mat
ter for the council as canvassing
board to deal with. That was decid-
ed after some discussion. 1t was
not the province of this body to Ego
behind the returns" All that could
be done was to accept the certificate
of the commissioners of election and
declare the result, which was done
by unanimous vote, those receiving
majorities being declared elected, &C
cording to the certificate Of the cleo
tion commissioners, who in their pa
pers say the election was lawfully
held, and they are by no means gull
ty of perjury in doing so, as the
truth is they had not been advised
as to the change in the law-and the
fact is that very few other people
knew of it-so it cannot be said that
the commissioners were less CONVEX
SAINT with the law than the majority
Of their fellow citizens.
Receiving the majorities under the
color of the law the new council can
qualify and their acts would stand
under the law, provided no one OBJ
jects or raises legal points in con-
test which would prevent them from
qualifying. There have been no pub
licly expressed rumors to the effect
that there will be any contest. or
that any attempt is to be made to
keep the men on the Firemen's Tick
ct from DOMINIC the robes of office.
There are ten days from the date of
the declaring of the result of the
election given to do this, if it has to
be done. Nor is it known that the
men who are declared elected will
show any disposition to qualify un-
der existing circumstances. Very
peculiar circumstances, they are, too.
Most people are disposed to smile
at the situation. The men elected
are good men, representative men,
the kind of men sure to conduct the
towns affairs all right in every way,
and it is no fault of theirs that they
are illegally elected. They are lille
gally elected, but what is going to be
done about it is matter for the fu-
ture to decide.

A NEW LEAF TO Be TURNED,

On February Ist my
books will be dis
carded and business
done for cash or
satisfactory trade.
This will be far bet
ter for my customers
and myself. When
all buy for cash no
one pays for the bad
debts of his neighbor.
When all pay cash /
can sell goods from
five to ten per cent
cheaper. This is a
plain, simple business
proposition. No man
who thinks a mo-
ment will doubt it.
In nearly all business
the cash and prompt
pa yin G customer
pays the losses caus-
ed by the bad paying
ones. Nc one
doubts this. Why
not all pay cash and
save this tax?
My stock will be re-
newed in greater va
riety than ever the
latter part of this
month and every ar
ticle will be offered
at the lowest possible
figure.
Leave your orders

The new tariff bill ris shown the eyi
dent intention of the present admin.
tration and of the free trade party Il. :
controls congress to abolish protect n
To farmers. \ direct attack has lc.u
made upon the potato. tobacco and los
growing interests. besides MANY others.
The result of this will be a lowering OF
the value Of American farm products
through the inn lortations from foreign
countries. England. Scotland Ireland.
Canada aud Germany stand ready to
send us all the potat,es that We need.
An open market i'll the United States
would be a boon ID the farmers in those
countries, where the value of farm la
Dor Is reckoned at only a few cents per
day. and where the price of 25 cents
for bushel of potatoes is of much
greater comparative value than so cents
would be to the farmers in this country.
There will be less demand for Ameri-
can grown potatoes, hops or tobacco and
other things, and our farmers must turn
their attention and devote their land to
the cultivation of other crops. What
can they grow that will be as remuner-
ativeI These three crops-hops, tobacco
and potatoes-have probably, on an
average, returned to the farmers better
money for their labor and investment
than any other crops, and they are
singled out as special objects of attack
by the free traders in the interests Of
the foreign farmers of Europe and Can
ada. The only possible chance that the
farmers might have had to employ their
land to good advantage would have
been in raising sugar beet, but even this
opportunity is taken away from them
because it is proposed to kill the sugar
growing industry OF this country. The
new tariff bill has been aimed fhrcngh-
out, from alpha to omega, with the
one purpose Of destroying whatever ie
and of building up whatever
in un-American and foreign. That is
the policy of the party of free trade,
the party that, unfortunately for this
is now in control of its admin
istrative affairs.

During the past 10 years the home
market for the products of agriculture
has increased 30 per cent from advance
of population alone. In three or four
decades the wants of 65, 600, 900 more
will double the present demand upon
our agriculture and make a mar
ket for products ample for subsistence
of more than 100, 900. 900 of European
people. Great Britain, in her little
garden patch - largely occupied by
houses and pleasure grounds, produces
half supply: the sea sands of the Meth
erlands partially feed a dense pCpula-
ton: eastern Europe is an ealarging
granary, and the western nations usu
ally supply their food requirements:
therefore there is little prospect in the
immediate or distant future that our
foreign market will be worthy Of con-
sideratiOn in comparison with the pres
ent overwhelming aIn. constantly aug
menting importance ot the domestic
market. which is the hope of the farm
er of the future Professor j. X.

A Curious Procession,

A curious procession once took place
at Brussels. One part Of the display
consisted of a car containing an organ
played by bear. There were no pipes
to the instrument, but number of cats,
each inclosed IN q narrow cage, an
swered the purpose. They were SO ar
ranged that when the bear touched the
keys of the organ the cats tails were
pulled, and the result was anything bu'
choice music. to say nothing Of the cru
city thus practiced on the poor ami
mals.-Brussels Correspondent.
