Wild West in the afternoon and s, GOO
In the evening. The show was good
one throughout. Tho members of the

things connected with the exhibition
was the admirable manner with which
the Wilmington City Railway handled
the immense crowds, In the afternoon
there were cars enough to carry off the
great crowds in few minutes, and in
the evening, at the close of the per

Manufacturers Enmbied to Make Use OF the
Fine Woods OF Uruguay at Low Rates.
Washington, Sept 30 The adoption
Of free wool in the United States Tariff
law has resulted in an advantage, to
the United State manufacturers, ac-
cording to a report from, United States
Consul Schramm at Uruguay. He
points out that the shipments Of
Uruguay wools to the United States
have largely increased BY reason of the
tariff changes. This is greatly bene-
fetal to the interests of the United
States" be adds, "from the fact that
the fine qualities raised here have never
before reached the United States. As
these fine wools cannot be produced in
the United States and at the same time
are essential to the manufacture of
various articles, it is evident that the
cheaper they can be made to our man
ufacturers, tho more they will be en-
abled to compete for the worlds mar
kets, as well as supply the home
market. -

A THIEF CAPTURED.
Man on a Wheel Locates a Man
with Wheel.


Neat Plcca OF Detective Work ACCOM-
plsshed by Representative of the pyle
Cycle Co. In Pennsylvania ON FrIday--
Albert Wertz Hired Wheel, But Failed
to Return 1t.
The use OF the wheel in running
down criminals was demonstrated on
Friday, when a representative Of the
Pyle Cycle Co. located and assisted in
capturing Albert II, Wertz, who had
stolen wheel and fled with it to his
fatber's house near Paoli. A
Three weeks Saturday wertz went
TO the store of the Pyle Cycle Go. in
this city and hired wheel ostensibly
TO 90 to New Castle. He gave the
name OF Albert Johnson, and succeeded
10 getting hold Of the wheel by refer,
ring to well-known business man,
with whom he happened to be
acquainted. But he did not go to New
Castle, and nothing was known Of his
whereabouts until Friday, when a
representative Of the company from
whom he got the wheel, ascertaining
that he had relatives at Whitford, Pa,
near West Chester, went TO that place
BY train and wheel. When he reached
Whitfoirl he found sister in law,
who gave the information that Wertz
was with his father at Paoli. The
Pyle representative hastened to West
Chester, whore he telephoned to the
company in this city to get out a
warrent and deliver II to him as coon
as possible. Accordingly the warrant
was issued and placed in the hands of
L. H. Pyle, who mounted his wheel
and delivered the warrant to the repre-
sentative in West Chester in little
over an hour after the information was
given.
The WILMINGTON man had acquainted
Chief OF Police Jefferis OF West Chester
with tho facts and tho two drove to
Paoli When they reached the home
OF Wertz's father they found the young
man there repairing bell on the
wheel he had stolen. The warrant was
read and young Wertz was arrested.
He broke down and confessed all and
was taken TO West Chester, where he
was locked up.
The wheel, as soon as it was re-
covered, was expressed to Wilmington
and IL arrived here about 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning.
Wertz was brought to this city Sat.
urday and given hearing in the mu-
nicipal court. He was held in $500 bail
TO answer at the upper court.
