The police department was caused an
endless lot OF worry yesterday by what
they supposed to be daring robbery. AS
detailed in the Enterprise yesterday
morning, Mrs. Millsr of Market street re-
turned to her home after a short absence
and found $500 in cash missing. She re-
ported it to the poles and told them tina.
she had left it under a bowl in the
pantry but forgot to state that she was a
somnambulist. Later she found her money
in the ice chest where she had hidden it
while asleep. In the other cases, however,
the victims are not somnambulists and
really lost the articles.

BEE MEN IN CLOVER
The bee men are still in clover, as tn
saying is, for bees are still actively
storing up good merchantable honey, and
this at time in the year when they
have usually ceased to make much honey.
In fact they hardly ever make any spare
honey at this season.
The busy little workers are now gather
ing sweets from the blossom of a small
which has sprung up on ground from
which crop of nay or grain has been
cut this season.
The honey market is, however, some
what unsatisfactory, as producers find it
uiffic cult to get the prices for their honey
which they think the eastern market
price warrants.
There is some talk among few bee
men of loading car or two with honey
and dispatching trusty agent with it to
the eastern market. This scheme is only
being talked of now. but it is more than
likely That 1t will be carried out.
