Creek.
At about two o'clock yesterday morning
two men tried to force an entrance to the
post office at Lost Creek. They made a noise
that awakened Postmaster Gallagher, who
went to a window and upon discerning the
object of the visitors warned them off. They
beat a hasty retreat.
When the housemaid IN charge Of the par

box of the church. 1t had been forced open
and was empty. The maid aroused Rev,
Father Daggett, the rector Of the
church, from his morning slumber
and reported her discovery. A visit
was made TO the church and there it
was found that in addition to stealing the
poor box other repositories had been forced
open in search of %plunder, but nothing of
value was missing. 1t is not known how
much the poor box contained.
1t is believed that the church robbers were
the two men whom Postmaster Gallagher or
deIed from his premises and also the men
who robbed the grocery of George McElwee
at Brownsville. The latter robbery is sup
posed to have taken place shortly before one
o'clock yesterday morning.

Mr.. Brumm stated that he was not a
prophet or the son of a prophet and that he
never deals in futures. He said he would
not speak as much on what the issue of 1900

shame, fraud and disgrace to a civilized
people. lie stated that as long as the So
called free silver men attempted to maxi the
fraud, the more the American people will
learn they are thieves.

Grand opera house, Saturday, March b. The
drama is from the pen of w. A. Trem"yne
and entitled "A Secret Warrant" Tit story
is laid at the court of the Regent
Due d'Orleans and gives some vivid pictures
of the intrigues of the palace. To present
such plays, the ensemble must be in keeping
with the star, and we have every confidence
in Mr.. Mantelps surroundings. His leading
lady, Miss Charlotte Behrens, is a clever
actress, and the company, now under the
management of NJ. W. Hsnley, will surely be
a select and competent one. The equipment
will also be perfect, in short, the lovers of

sp.outing Potato Seed.

IS A writer in the New England Farm
or tells that the most successful grow
ers sprout potato seed as follows: From
six to seven weeks before it is time
to plant in the field the potatoes are
cut in the usual manner, spread thinly
in dry room free from frost, where
they remain until quite dry, say for
three days. They are then placed in
boxes of sand as closely as possible.
the sand being damp-not wet-and
one inch in depth. Place the sets
evenly over the whole surface and then
cover with sand an inch in depth.
Place the boxes in light, airy room
where the temperature is from. IS de-
grees at night to SIS degrees, in the
daytime. The sprouts will soon push
forth and grow just in proportion as
light, heat and moisture are afforded
them. A slow growth is much to lie
preferred, as the stems will be much
stronger and more vigorous after they
are set in the field. To that end low
temperature, but little moisture, free
circulation of air and all the light pos
sible are essential. The boxes are
placed one above the other in racks,
with spaces between Of six inches.

favorites of the new ministers, and ma
tives are never allowed to share in the
feast. Moreover, the lands of the re-
ligious orders steadily increase. The
priests and monks possess enormous
plantations from which they derive
immense revenues. The people are
made to pay dearly for sacramento. and
the fees exacted are much greater than
in any parish of Europe. The clergy
live in luxury, giving themselves up in
their isolation not only to every man
ner of secular indulgence but to the
most atrocious excesses, which in
Spain would drive them in disgrace
from the church.
While these functionaries enjoy free
dom from taxation, any native, man
and woman, without reference to prop
erty income or station, is compelled to
pay fixed tax. An Indian woman
without employment and not owning
any furniture must pay 10 pesetas. A
man must pay 45 pesetas. Defaulting
in this payment, he is forced to work
for fifteen days on the roads. Every
individual whose trade does not exceed
the sale of few betel nuts, a basket
of mangoes, or bunch Of bananas,
must pay an additional tax. as must
also the natives who go from the couu-
try into Manila to sell nothing more
than chicken or a fish. At one time
in every village there were several
weavers whose cotton cloths, much
priced by the natives, had ready and
remunerative sale. This local indus
try has disappeared owing to a royal
decree favorable to the manufacturers
of Catalonia, which permitted their
goods to enter without duty. These
manufacturers sent goods of an in
ferior quality and extraordinary cheap
ness and drove the native workmen
out of competition. This was the only
industry known in the Philippines. and
there remained only the cultivation of
the fields. But the native, if owner of
