A BOLD BURGLAR.
He Breaks into John lIorris' Store.
But Is Discovered and Frlghten-
ed off

Policemao Holman discovered a burglar IN
the store of Mr.. John Morris. on Main Street
at an early hour this morning, and at once
called Policeman Gallagher to his assistance.
Before he arrived the burglar became tighten
ed and made his escape out of the back win
dow through which he had entered. No clue
TO the identity Of the burglar has yet been
obtained, but the police ARE working on the
case.
The robber was bold and daring rascal
as the meaus be used TO effect an entrance
proves. He first attempted to make an open
lug by tearing of the Misunderstanding at the
rear off the store, but failed to get in. de
then priced up the iron bar across the back
window and wreuched the window open oy
breaking the hinges.
4 large lot of goods WAS found piled ou
the counter near the open window where the
burglar could reach them from the outside.
He had taken a large cloth, used for covering
goods and had placed it 10 readiness TO wrap
up the goods when he had taken them out. 1t
was evident that he was about ready TO leave
the store when discovered.
1t is very unfortunate that the fellow wss
permitted to escape, as so daring rascal ls
dangerous TO a community The track in the
snow in the rear Of the store is rather small,
but there were no peculiarities about it that
would lead TO the Identification Of the burglar,
nor have the police been able TO follow the
track any great distance from the store.
Every effort will be made, however, to run
the burglar down, and put him in place
where he will he prevented from following

A large land owner in this city inform
the writer yesterday that ne had decided
to make Mr. Remmers a proposition
and would write 20 him at once ou'liD :
ing his plans and stating the indnce-
ments tha; this place had to offer The
proposition is very favorable one, a"o
when taken iu connection with exemp-
ton from city taxes for ten years, which
will undoubtedly be granted, should have
great weight With The men who are seek
ing a favorable location for the factory.
Mr., Rcmmers has stated 10 letter
to the editor of this paper that it is the
Intention Of himself and associates 20
build two and perhaps more starch fac
tories 10 this State. and that 10 select
ing location for their enterprise they
will be guided by the advantages OF To-
cation and the amount OF local support
given them. The two frs: consldera-
tiops are. of course, the freight facill
ties and the supply of starch material.
The supply of material must be abun-
dant and obtaipable at reasonable prices,
otherwise it would be useless 10 build
the factory. AS has been Stated before
the prices paid for starch material de-
peud upou the amount Of starch the differ,
entarticles aualyze. The average price is
about 90 TO % cents per bushel for
sweet potatoes and Is 10 Is cents for
Irish potatoes. Even at these low
prices it is possible for farmers to pro-
duce potatoes at profit. A large
amount will be required aod tbefe will

Congress had only given the country
relief from the 6uaDcial condition which

it would be entitled to the gratitude Of
the country.
There is one feature of the new mill

we're relieved of their commissions, and
that new Ulcers will be elected or ap.

that all new officers will be appointed
BY the Adjutant and Inspector General.
and the oath bound militia will have no
