YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
Eight Boys Arrested For BurguaIaiztng The uammett Grocery Co.'S
 StOrr,

The Hammett Grocer Company has been for the past week missing canned goods, tobacco, cigars, gum, pipes and numerous other articles from their large establishment, the police were notified and after almost q week s investigation, Constable Philpot and Oflee- Frank Stewart today captured a gang of youths who are not strangers in police circles. The first one arrested was Joe Thompson. He was closely questioned by Officer Stewart and after seeing the trap he was in, said he was one of the gang, and impli- eated the following boys: Clarence DellmOn, Jno. and Joe Riley, Julius Frank, Ruby Tomlin, Puck Darby and Lee Hodges. All the arrests have not been made up to the pres ent writing, but all the parents have been notified to accompany them to Justice Yance's court at three o'clock this afternoon.
 Young Thompson also carried the police to an old burnt house in the rear of the opera house OF W. 2nd avenue. A wagon load of the above named articles were found.
 Thompson said the boys would crawl over the warehouse that is being constructed next to the Ham, nett Grocery Co.,, and enter q win dow in the upper story.
 Some of these youths have been arrested before on serious charges but were too young to sentence They are now all old enough to bt punished, if guilty, under the law.

Patronlze Home Industry.

Few people realize the importance of patronizing home industries. They do not seem to appreciate the fact that every dollar spent at home goes just that far towards building up their community, while every dollar sent away from home takes that much out of local circulation and weakens the community to that extent. N Noney spent at home gives employment to local 1aborers and puts that much more money in the hands of the local merchant, grocer, baker and local iobber.
 The importance of patroniztng local enterprises, even in small affairs is strikinglY illustrated by the report of the Ameri- can Excelsior Steam Laundry, recently filed with the county clerk as all corporations are compelled to do. Their report for the year ending Ang |, 1898 is as follows.
 The American-Excelsior Laundry co. expenden for labor from Aug. 1. 91 to Aug. l '9Sa.......@.s $7, ,450 co For wool and fuel -....s=z.. 200 co Printing stationery .-.4..-... 570 co The proprieturs expended to
 our merchants ..-.z. z.ss.. 2,115 O5 Total .......-..... #-#--#.. ,2S5 OF | This money was paid to tho'r. n,n. ployees. waoGmen, etc, they IT rr, turn pay this in house rents, gro ceries, clothing and dry goods bills. Hence this money expended by the American Excelsior Laundry Co, is circulated and re-circulated rigth here in our city, therefore it is DO more than just, that protection should be granted home indust tries. At equal work and equal prices give home preference.
 This applies to your home printer, baker, tailor or merchant, as well as to thelaundry,

the world IS making rapid progress.

Doctor PIerce's Golden Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. 1t has stood the test for thirty years. Thou sands of people who were given up by their doctors, and had lost all hope owe their lives to this marvellous remedy 1t acts directly on the lungs, driving out all inn purities and disease germs. =It restores the appetite, correCts all disorders of the diges- ton, strengthens the weak stomach, makes the assimilation of the life-giving clements of the food perfect, invigorates the liver, purihes the blood and tones the nerves. It is the great bloOd-maker and flesh builder It does not make Habby flesh like cod liver oil, but the firm, muscular tissue of abso. iute health.
