Safe Blown Open.

A bungling job of safe blowing was
performed in the Centralia Meat
market Sunday morning at about 4
O'Clock. The burglars entered the shop
through the rear door and drilled a hole
down through the top of the safe into
the iron money drawer. They put in
such strong charge that it blew the
safe door completely off its hinges a
distance Of about 10 feet. 1t struck a
large heating stove and broke that 10
pieces. The discharge was so strong
that it blew the two doors in the room
off, castings and all, and also broke
every pane of glass in the window.
The transom in the ceiling was blown
open and the windows in the front OF
the store were cracked a distance of at
least 80 feet from the safe.
What money, checks, orders, ETC.,
that were in the safe lay scattered upon
the floor untouched. The report was so
loud and the discharge so heavy that
the burglars dare not re-enter the
building for fear of being discovered.
The tools were eft in the building and
some of them had been stolen from Mr..
Metzger's wagon shop in tits city. The
others are recognized as having been
used by local parties in other depreda-
tions Of recent occurrence.
The tools and foot prints in the sand
at rear of building is clue enough to
locate the parties. Certain ones are
already suspicioned and arrests will
soon be made. tits high time that the
guilty should receive punishment and
prove lesson to those who rather steal
and rob than do honest labor, that ii
pays to earn an honest livelihood.

Chiidren'S Home Society.

Rev. j. Z. Dysart, superintendent of
the above society, was in the city the
fore part of the week in the interest of
that society. He occupied the pulpit
in the Cong'l church Sabbath morning
and evening. He has been here before
and placed two orphan children taken
from our midst. This society is doing
excellent work in this state. From a
phamplet he left in our Office we take
the following;
''Give thy mite give golden treasure
Freely as to child thine own;
''Give thy heart in loving measure
Help child to find home.''
The work of this Society was begun
in Northern Wisconsin in 1891. In
October of that year, Rev. J. P. Dysart
organized the Society as an unincorpor-
ated body, with its principal office at
Hudson, Wisconsin. The affairs of the
Society were controlled by Board of
Directors, and for the first fifteen
months, Mr.. Dysart was the only Agent
in the field. 1t was then thought
advisable to incorporate the Society
under the laws of the state of Wiscon-
sin, and to remove to more central
location. In December, 1892, the
Society was duly incorporated with its
principal office at Milwaukee. AS the
work has grown the Society has in
creased its working force to meet the
demands made upon it. Rev. J. P.
Dysart has been the Superinte tendent of
the Society since the beginning. May
Ist, 1898, Rev. William Woodmansee,
formerly of Menasha, was employed as
Assistant Superintendent. October 1st,
1898, Rev John W. Olmsted, of Apple
ton. was employed as Financial Agent.
July 1st, 1894. DR.. Annette J. Shaw of
Eau Claire was employed as District
Superintendent for Northern Wisconsin.
The Society was organized for tie
purpose of seeking out grossly neglected
! and dependent children and finding
| them homes in carefully selected
| families. 1t is not an institution. 1t
! owns no buildings and has no costly
equipment. 1t aims to do its work as
quickly and economically as possible.
| To date, July 25, 1894, about 25U homes
| have been found for such children since
the organization of the Society. The
present average is one child placed in
an excellent home every other day and
| the work is rapidly enlarging.
