Yesterday morning between the hours
Of and 2 o'clock the residence Of J. w.

corner Of Santee and Eleventh streets,
was entered by burglars and a fine gold

ST in silver and a few minor trinkets.
The robbers effected an entrance
through a rear window while the family
were sleeping.
The matter was reported a short time
afterward to Chief Of Police Glass, and
he Immediately detailed the detectives
upon the case, but so far not even the
slightest clue to the perpetrators has
been found.
Mr.. Walker states that he retired quite
late and consequently slept unusually
sound, otherwise he would have heard
the intruders, as he ordinarily hears the
slightest noise about his home. He
places his loss at about $780, but says the
money value is not near so much to
him as the Knights Templar jewel, as
it was presented to him by his railroad
friends and was priced very highly.

BEST OF ALL
Better than either gold or silver; better
than either protection or free trade; bet
ter than all systems of government yet
devised by man, Is the one established in
this republic. The system Is as old as
the history of the human family. 1t has
been the theme of philosophers, and
poets have built their sweetest and most
natural lines upon its virtue. States
men have euloglzed Its theoretical gram
deur and politicians bury it's beauties
underneath questions of expediency and
party policies for party advantages. It
is q theme worthy the mental analysis
and intense concentration of mind that
even the brain Of Bryan is capable Of
system of government which all ad-
mire in theory, but few are capable of
conceiving to be truly practical. 1t Is
that of simple Justice, swift and sure
In its punishments, loving and merciful
In its protection. 1t is perhaps super
f1uous for me to speak of the simplicity
Of the Mexican government. and 1t may
sound like series of repetitions to sing
the praises of General Diaz, but all who
have watched the career Of this grand
man, and have but family realized what
he has accomplished for the good of his
,tpvy ct in, Av,1 NC
of expressing their gratitude. And the
deeper and more infinitely the adminis-
tration Of the laws of the country are
studied, the line Of strict justice will be
found running like an endless reel,
through every department of govern
ment. Any deviation from the strict
line Of duty, any laxity on the part Of
officials charged with the administra-
ton Of laws Is met with sure and COM
mensurate punishment. The law re-
spects the humblest peon equally with
the highest functtonary. One cannot help
drawing contrast between the two re-
publtcs-cannot help thinking of the
punishment melted out to a poor devil
guilty OF a petty orims-the result often
times OF environments over which the
individual has no control-while the
cashier OF bank guilty Of robbing the
institution of thousands is punished, If
at all. but slightly, in the United States.
But no power, no political pull" no in
fluence. neither high nor low. exerted
the least influence on the course OF
Justice toward the murderers Of Arroyo,
who was handed over to the police for
safe-keeping, until the penalty for the
crime Of an attempted assault on Gen.
eral Diaz could have been fixed by due
process of law. In the administration
of justice In the two republics will be
found subject as momentuous
as either gold or silver, and which is
respectfully referred by your CORE
spondent to Mr.. Bryan. SO that when he
returns to the United States he may
with his eloquence impress upon all
who shall come within the sound Of his
voice one Of the causes-perhaps the
greatest-of Mexico's progress.

CIRCULAR TO GROWERS
Explaining Local Organizations and
United Campaign

Explaining Local Organizations and
United Campaign
A. r. Sprague, who was appointed at
the last meeting of the Deciduous Fruit
association as general organizer of the
local associations and exchanges, has
issued circular to growers and all in
terested, explaining the reasons for or
ganization and outlining the plan of
campaign.
Az the local associations must be or
ganized first, Mr.. sprague has been en-
abled, through subscriptions by public
spirited fruit growers. to place his SER
vices at the disposal Of fruit growers
who are DESTROYS Of forming such local
associations. Mr.. Sprague's head
quarters for the present are room No.
He invites correspondence or confer
ence on the subject Of organization OF
local associations.
The reasons given in the circular for
organisation are: ITO help brace up
prices. instead of. as now, to batter
them down by bidding against each
other for chance to sell in the crowded
markets Of the east. To attend to our
own business instead Of leaving the most
important part of 1.-THE marketing Of
products-wholly in the hands Of per-
sons often Indifferent to our interests.
To make all savings possible to COM
bined effort, and impossible to individual
efforts. To extend the demand for our
fruits In our own and foreign markets
an accomplishment easy for us COM
bined, but impossible to us as individ-
uals.
TT is not necessary to experiment in
this matter, for the citrus growers have
been organized for more than five years.
and were never stronger, as business
organisation, than today. We have the
advantage Of their experience, and. un-
less the average grower Of deciduous
fruits Is more stupid than the citrus
grower. we should have equal success in
using the same general plan.
Local associations. controlled by local
stockholders. to secure efficient grad
ing, curing and packing Of fruit. Local
exchanges, each made up Of representa-
tives Of several of these local associa-
lions, to look after the interests OF the
district as a whole. and to centralise, so
far as may be necessary. the work Of the
several associations.
"A central exchange. composed Of rep
resentatives from the several local ex-
changes. to conduct the business Of ship
ping and selling the product through
their own agents or otherwise, according
to well established business methods.
and with regard to strict justice to all
interests involved. This IL a business
proposition. not matter Of sentiment,
and must be undertaken on that basis"

experience in working with and for men, and
it is hoped he will inaugurate a new era in

had the distinction of having the largest mems
Bible Class in the State, over $50 men being
enrolled.
In 1892, Mr.. Brown was called to the Min
neapolis Y. NJ. C. A., and after working in
various positions for four and a half years

fist Church of Minneapolis. A reception will

ed at once for more funds, and an effort
will be made to greatly enlarge the member
