stock fattened for market, peddlers
don't rosm over the country selling

remnants, groceries, pictures and the

much. To do 30 then they would
have to share the burdens and hard

But when things are fairly brisk
and people tolerable prosperous the
peddlers come-come, get and take

The right way, therefore, to do is,
shun the peddlers all the time, in the

BOLD BURGLARY.

DOLO DU hULAhI
On the night of the 9th, Thursday of
last week, about 1890 two young fel-
lows broke into the store of the Barton
Co. Exchange Co. and stole lot of
miscellaneous goods. They watched
until Mr.. Downey and the clerks had
left the store, after 10. then climbed
over the transom over the back door,
first tearing off the wire screen that
covered the same. Gaining an en-
trance thus the back door was unbolt-
ed and unlocked, and the burglars
filled their pockets with bundles of
Jewelry, cutlery, razors, ETC., aud leis
urely selected eight good hats, FIVE
pairs of the best shoes. some shirts,
handkerchiefs. etc. 1t had commenced
raining just before they went in-their
tracks showed this-and they stayed
until after the rain ceased. Their
tracks were plain where they left the
store.
When the clerks came down Friday
morning to open the store the robbery
was discovered. Sheriff Aber was
notified, and was soon hot on the
fresh tracks.
Leaving the store they went west,
then south to the railroad. They Wis
tied the waiting room of the Santa Fe
depot about II and got a drink, then
went west up the branch track, to-
wards Heller. Near noon Friday
Sheriff Aber and Frank Wilson found
the two behind wheat stack, near
John Eyerett's. They did not resist
arrest, and took their capture very
cody Most. if not all the stuff taken
was found in their possession some in
their pockets and some tied up in a
bundle and hid in wheat stack where
they were flushed.
Saturday the two, who were strap
ping young fellows who gave their
names as James Morgan and William
Martin, were taken before Justice Ogle,
waived preliminary trial, and were sent
to jail under a joint bond of $1,000 to
await trial at the November term of
court
The men are apparently farmer boys,
and certainly novices at burglary, as
they were exceedingly bungling in their
work, and in their attempt to escape.
Thursday afternoon the DEMOCRAT
editor went on the street to find some
one to turn the press. We saw these
two boys on the First National Bank
corner. engaged them for the job
which takes from u to hours-and
they turned off the papers in good
shape. They were taciturn and IN
communicative. however, and would
say nothing about where they were
from. They had doubtless planned the
robbery during the day and were only
awaiting darkness to put their plans into
operation. They told US they had a
| job in the harvest ''up north" and would
leave that night.
| They have none of the ear marks oi
professional crooks, and we are sorry
indeed that two young men apparently
intelligent and gentlemanly. should turr
burglars and cast so dark clond upor
their future lives

If man cheats you, cease to deal

No matter who be is or how he mis-

this calm. cool and quiet way of deal

Socialism and Municipal Ownership.

Socialism and Municipal Ownership.
The New York Tribune gives space
to the following letter:
To the editor of the Tribune.-Sir:
The following is common statement
of the discontented:
Chicago today Is fighting for one of
the pianks of socialism-the ownership
of its street railways.
ALREADY Chicago owns and controls
It's own water works. That is socialism,
Already Chicago, like the entire
United States, owns and controls its
own public school system. That is
socialism.
ALREADY Chicago owrs and controls
its own police system That is social
ISM.
ALREADY Chicago owns and controls
its OVID fire system. That is socialism.
Chicago owns and controls its
streets and highways. That is social
ism.
All the people of the United States
own and control the postal system.
That is socialism.
Here in this town we are trying to
get possession of our public utilities,
and in this we are but doing what
nearly every other town and city in the
United States is trying to do. That is
socialism"
How should it be answered? Is the
ownership by the nation of things
which are necessarily mOnopolies. from
their very nature, socialisticp I hope
you can give a short and clear answer,
with their reasons, to these questions.
THOMAS BERKELEY.
BayshOre N Y Juna IL 1899
To the above query the Tribune, not
reckoned among those friendly to lad
vanced ideas" makes the following
reply:
No; the ownership of public property
by the public is not socialism. 1t has
nothing to do with socialism. For the
nation to own the postal service, for
state to own canals or railroads, or for
city to own its water works. gas
works, streets or street railroads, is no
more socialism than it is hypnotism or
continent small pox. Socialism is not
public ownership of property and con-
duct of business, but abolition of pTi~
vate property and private conduct of

postal service and shoe making, be-
tween water works and groceries. it

him. Even if you bray him in a NOR
tar, yet will not his foolishness depart.
from him. So said So Omon, according
to the men of HeZekiah, and his words
are as true now as then.
The Tribune makes d correct answer
Socialism may or may not be desiI
able state of society. and the rival dis
putants may argue the thing out at
their leisure But the arguments for
and against socialism have. nothing to
do with the question of whether or not
| municipality should own its own
water works. electric light works,
street railways, etc. True. opponents
of municipal ownership often seek to
make it appear that such ownership is
socialism, and perhaps succeed to some
extent in confounding the two things,
but they are not necessarily related.
| Those who for selfish or other reasons
do not want municipal ownership know
that in many minds there is prejudice
against anything labeled socialism,
and they play upon this prejudice .

death Of her boy away out here on the
Kansas prairies. She has made several
visits here to care for the grave of her
son. A few months ago the mother,
Mrs. Nina Mueller. died at the home of
an elder son in Chicago, at the age of
about 30 years. 1t was her expressed
