Secreted Under a Box-How an En-
trance Was Efected-No Goods
MissinR-NeRro in Jail.
The store of Cremer Bros. & Co.,
wholesale grocers, in the basement of
the First National Bank building,
came very near being burglarized by a
negro on Wednesday night of last
week.
The would be thief cut the lower win
dow, fronting on Third street, In halves
and took out the lower half, thereby
cffecting good entrance. The job
was neatly executed.
Officer Adams happened to be near
by and saw the negro enter the store.
He summoned Policeman Dean to
help him make the search. They en-
tered the store-room through the
window where the thief had just pre-
ceded them. A pair OF "yaller" shoes
were found near the window In salt
box. The officers began their search,
turning over and looking In barrels
and boxes and every possible place
where man could hide, until at last
Policeman Dean and a Syrian, who
was helping the officers make their
search, found negro, appearing to
be about twenty years of age, and CIV
ing his name as John Bill. He was
found huddled up in the extreme end
of the house under the steps, with a
large box turned over him.
Mr.. Adams was watching the store
from Third street for two more ne
groes whom Mr.. Adams said had been
in there, but this one came and
"stuck his head In the rat-trap"-and
was caught. It is supposed that the
negro knew all about the store, for
when Mr.. Adams blew his whistle he
ran for his "hiding-place. Another
"coon," it is said. was in the store,
but made his escape. The captured
thief says he don't know the other
negro's name and could not tell him
If he was to see him again. He was
taken from the store and lodged in
Jailer Ziglar's clearinghouse.
1t is thought that "John Bill" Is an
assumed name. The negro's face Is
said to be familiar in the Mayors
courtroom. He says he is from
Lynchburg, Va.
Dee Cromer, member of the firm,
says he thinks their negro employees
are connected with the theft and
that the negroes Mr.. Adams was
watching are In their employ.
There is nothing missed from the
store, as the thief was discovered in
time to prevent him from stealing
anything.

Comparison of rarin Bus.

Joe Daniels in North Carolinians.
I had talk with leading Member
of Congress this morning in regard to
the difference between the Mckinley
bill, the Wilson bill and the Senate
bill, In the matter OF reductions. The
present law yields for customs $685.
600, 900; the Senate bill would yield
about $179, ,000, 900, and the Wilson bill
about 8124, ,000, 900. In the Senate bill
the sugar item alone amounts to more
than S43, ,O00, 900. Therefore, leaving
the sugar item out OF consideration,
the Senate bill makes reductions upon
the schedules in the existing law OF
over s62s 600, 600.

There are few follies more extreme than
that of putting sick people On a diet of
toaSt-water and thin Cruel. 1t would make
a we'll person sick, and how one can be
expected to recover health and strength on

sloppy drinks of any sort. If ii is neces-
sary to Quench the thirst, an abundance
of pure water, boiled and cooled TO the
temperature OF spring water, is most desis-

a good deal lessened, but the quality should

Local observations.
How to Clean Clothes.


The mystery TO many people how the
scCurerS of old clothes make than
almost as good as new, is explained as fol-
lows: Take, for instance, a shiny old coat,
vest pair of trousers of broadcloth, cas-
sin.ere or diagonal. The scourer makes
strong, warm soapsuds, and plunges the
garment into it, souses ii up and down,
rubs the dirty places and If necessary, puts
il through a second time, then rinses il
through several waters and hangs IL up to
dry on the line. When nearly dry he takes
ii in. rolls IL up for an hour or TWO and
then presses il. An old cotton cloth is laid
on the outside OF the coat and the iron
passed over that until the wrinkles are cut;
but the iron is removed before the steam
ceases TO rise from the goods, else they
would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obsti-
nate are removed by laying a wet cloth
over them and passing the iron over that.
If any shiny places are seen they are
treated as the wrinkles are-the iron is
lifted while the full cloud Of steam rises and
brings the nap up with [. Cloths should
always have a suds specially for them,
cotton or wooden cloths lint will be left in
the water and will cling 10 the cloth.
In this manner we have known the same
ccat and trousers tC be renewed time ard
time again and have all the LOOK ana feel
of nsw garments. Good broadcloIh ana Its
felloW-cloths will hear many wasblngs. and
look better every time because Of them.
The same treaIm ent may be applied 10
women's dress goods. II all wool they may
be renovated 10 look like new.
