Stole a Watch.

Last Sunday afternoon, while the
family was absent on a visit to rela-
tives in Foreston, the house of Herman
Neumann, two miles west of the vii
lage, was entered by unknown parties.
When they returned lady's gold
watch was found to have been taken
but so far nothing else has been
missed. The condition of the house
showed that it had been quite thor
oughly ransacked, but except the
watch nothing valuable was discov-
cred. This was in box on the center
table and was easily found
Mr.. Neumann says he thinks it was
the work of a gang of boys who have
been longing around in the neighbour
hood, spending most of their time fish
ing. Others suspect another party,
the individual who appropriated to his
own use Bob Clark's bicycle. The
wheel was found concealed near this
place and they think that as this man
showed his criminal character in this
theft, he is more than likely to be the
man who pocketed the watch.
The timepiece was keywinder and
a close watch is being kept for it. 1t
is quite probable that a clue will be
secured before long and the criminal
will be made to answer for his acts

The season for buying binding Irvine
is here and many farmers are no doubt
enticed by the deceptive advertising
of department stores of the large
cities, into sending away for Irvine that
costs trife less than the home mer-
chant asks. We would warn farmers
against this practice. It has been
demonstrated by actual measurement
that ball of the department store
Irvine is 400 feet shorter than that sold
at home. This difference in length in
favor of the home merchant will more
than equal the difference in price
The Irvine will weigh about the same,
but to find the real saving, measure a
ball of each. Irvine manufactured by
the Deering Harvester Co. is &C
knowledged the world over to be more
Uniform, stronger, and will go farther
per pound than any Irvine on the mar
ket. For sale by

r0ILERS, HEED!
Or the Trust Will Have You All
In Its Deadly Grip.
FIGURES THAT ARE AMAZING
American Artisans and Laborers Fas
Losing Their Independence.
0NE.THIRD NOW UNDER CONTROL

Twenty-Five Combinations Have In
Their Employ Nearly Three Million
Men and the Percentage of the En-
slaved Is Rapidly Increasing-Time
For Vigorous and Telling Action
Is at Hand.
The American financial enterprise
called the trust is indeed, as has often
been pointed out, an astonishing fea-
ture of Industrial development. With
its enormous capitalization and It's
efforts to monopolize production II has
aroused universal wonder and specu-
lation,
There 10 one distinguishing charac-
teristic Of the trust, however, which
has apparently almost entirely es-
capped careful Overwhelmingly,
the relationship between the trust and
American labor.
Mr.. Bryan has denounced the trust
as monopoly of production, but he
has not pointed out the most singular
aspect of danger in the trust-that Is
to say. 1t is monopoly Of labor.
The third of the trade of labor Of
the United States has been brought
under the subsection of trusts and
close trade combinations.
BY the government census Of 1890
there were engaged in gainful occupa-
tions 22,735,661 persons. If from this
number there be subtracted 5,304 $40
as representing those in domestic and
personal service and 8.285,618 as rep
resenting farmers, planters, overseers
and farmhands, there will be left
9,145,l33 persons of the class ordinarily
called the workingman" = the man
with definite trade
Allowing 80 per cent increase since
1890 the figures would thus be as fol-
lows: 11,890,000 trade workers, 3,547,-
900 employed by trusts and trade COM
bines.
This is truly an ominous showing
from labor's stand OF observation. The
showing is all the more significant be-
cause the trusts were little heard OF
1--WE years ago. and are now increasing
and multiplying at rate which leads
irresistibly to the conclusion that be-
fore the next presidential campaign
two-thirds Of the forces of labor will
be under their dominion.
