A BOLD ROBBERY.
Thieves Went Through Mr.. Blount'i
Residence Last Night.


| Some unknown person or persons enter
| ed the home of Mr.. Henry T. Blornt, on
| the heights Of Georgetown, last night,
made a hurried tour of the upstairs rooms
| and gathering together lot Of miscellan-
ecus iewelry escaped undetected The
entry was made between and 7:45 o'clock
There were in the house at the time one
| of Mr.. Blount's daughters, his son and a
maid. None of them, according to the re-
| port Of the robbery given Precinct Detec-
| tive Burrows, heard the slightest unusual
| sound. The entrance and exit were clever
~ made, though from q professional stand
| point, the robbery was the veriest kind of
| a bungle. Many things of value were left
| behind that an experienced man could with
case have taken away.
The robbery was discovered about II
| o'clock, on the return of Mr.. Blount, and
as the members went up stairs to retire.
| The disarrange ment of the bureau articles
and the half-open drawers made it appar-
| ent that some one had been on an explor-
| ing expedition. Soon came the report from
| the rooms Of all members of the family
| that their most valuable trinkets had been
| made the matter plain, and the detective
| department was notified by telephone. De-
| tectives Lacey and Burrows went up to in
| vestigate.
The articles given as stolen were valued
| at about $3.50 or $500. They included a
| Swiss watch, that cost $75 originally, a
plain SILK dress, a gray cloth dress, black
| silk cape, a comfort, opal ring, turquoise
ring, topaz ring. two garnet rings, one
| amethyst ring, one necklace, locket, breast
| pin, one stick pin, one turquoise pin, coral
| bracelet. child's gold necklace, string of
| amber beads and silver pin. Much jewelry
was left behind. The silverware was not
| touched, nor were any Of the heavier valu-
| ables in the house.
Suspicion has not been fastened upon any
| one.
That the robbery was committed at about
I:30 is evidenced by the fact that Miss
Blounts room was occupied by her at Z
| At 7:45 she went up stairs and placed her
| watch on the bureau hurriedly. Later
| thought of the situation brought to her
mind the fact that the drawers of the
| bureau were then open and things were
| somewhat disordered. At II her watch was
where she had placed it so openly, while
! other of her gold effects had disappeared
The Blount home is the place known as
| 1.-The Oaks" the home of the late Edward
| NJ. Linthicum, founder of the Linthicum
Institute, and later the home of Mr.. Ed
| ward L. Dent, the iron founder John C.
| Calhoun lived there also for time. 1t is a
| fine old mansion to the north of the corpora
| ton line, surrounded by spacious grounds
shaded with oaks and magnolia groves.

ARGENTINE WHEAT.

south Americans Crowding Uncle
Sam in European Markets.
Mr.. Robert ]. Gross, vice president of the
Brooks Locomotive Works of Dunkirk, N.
Y, is registered at the Arlington. Mr.
Gross, who recently returned from an ex-
tended trip to South America. in converse
ton with a Star reporter today, spoke of
the recent wonderful development Of the
agricultural resources Of the Argentine Re
public MY attention was particularly at
tracted in this direction he said, because
of the predictions made by SO many people
in this country that all we want to put US
on the high road to prosperity Is one sea-
son of good crops. A glance at the grain
fields of the Argentine Republic and lit
tie investigation of the agricultural devel-
opment and facilities # that country WIN
very soon convince one that we can't com
pete with those people IN raising grain for
export, and that the despairing cry from
the northwest, wheat only = cents pusn-
ell and can't sell it at that Is likely to be
heard for some time.
."The Argentine farmers Use just as good
agricultural implements as we do; their
land is just as good as ours, and SAUSAGE
tory labor of poems can be had FOR only a
few cents a day. They can raise grain
much cheaper than we can We are not in
it with them as regards transportation
facilities. Ocean vessels can run up their
rivers for miles, while there are innumer-
able diverging railroads over ground as
level as floor, so that there are no long
hauls, and the hauling is easy. Here are a
few statistics that tell the whole story: In
1890 we sent to Germany 6,0Oo,OOO bushels
of grain and our South American neigh
bors 100000 bushels. In 1894 they sent the
COCO 600 bushels and we the 100000. The
Argentine Republic is not the only country
in the world that is pushing us out of the
foreign grain trade Now, you know, SELL
ing agricultural implements is not my
business" said Mr.. Gross. but I got a
good deal of my Information from man
who was engaged in that business in South
America. If you run across him perhaps
he can tell you good deal about the

LIGHTING PLANS ARRIVE.
Special Council rleeting Tomorrow
Night,

Aid. Zimmerman today received
from Prof. Shepardsyn the revised
plans for lighting the city. The only
change in the arrangement of the
lights is the substitution of arc for
incandescent lights on Broad street
The plans now call for about sixty arc
and hundred incandescent lights,
which is about sixty more lights than
there at present.
Prof. Shepardson has done all of the
work expected of him save the pre-
paration of the estimates. He has
submitted four plans for machinery
for the council to select from before
or after receiving bids.
Aid. Zimmerman states that a spe-
cial meeting of the city council will
be held tomorrow night to consider
this matter and nothing else. The
aldermen are getting in a hurry to do
something, and bids will probably be
advertised at once, and the steps
taken to put the plant in as soon as
possible

Mr.. r. e. Fuller returned home
from the State Fair on Monday last,
and is more than pleased with the
success which attended their exhibit
not only at our own state fair, but
also at the Lacrosse Interstate fair.
At the State Fair they secured IA
first premiums out of possible Is,
besides one sweepstake and four
grand sweepstakes, including the
grand sweepstakes over all breeds OF
coach horses, also for stallion and
four of his get. In diplomas they
secured three out of four, and second
for the fourth. Their record for the
two fairs summed up as follows:
Twenty-seven first premiums out of
81 possible, and only one behind in
the amount of money. Positions were
received in every ring showed in,
which is record that has not been
equalled by any firm in the northwest
in the Percheron and French Coach
breeds, Our people are certainly
proud of this record, as they believe
in being first in everything, leading
but never following.

The Democratic papers say that
there is no cut and dried ticket for
the New York Democratic conven-

for the reason that no Democrat may
be found who is willing to sacrifice
himself to the defeat that is certain.
However Senator Hill and other
bosses will see to it that the ticket is
made exactly to their liking. In other
words, if it is not already cut and
dried, they will cut and dry it as they
go along.
