=; eflCe.

Two burglars who broke into the store
OF w. +. Groo,ne, Of Newport, last night
were given warm reception by him and
his clerk. That the men did not receive
tho contents Of two revolvers is the result
OF poor Workmanship. About 2.30 o'clock
this morning the burglar alarm went of
and Groome and his clerk, John H. Craig
heard ii. They grabbed their reyolyers
and went down stairs. They arrived In
time to sec two men 60 through the back
window of The store.
They gave chase and saw tile mon climb
over the yard fence. Groome fired four
shots and Craig five shots at the burglars.
FA. Sturgeon saw two strange men last
night about clock standing on the cor
ner at Groomes store. Tho blacksmith
shop of John W. lyman was entered dur
ing the night and q 10 pound sledge ham,
mer, chiscls, braces and bits were taken.
These tools were used by the burglars at
Groome's store. They went to the window
at The back OF the store which is one Of the
largest q general stores south OF Whining
ton. They bored three holes in the shutter
and shot back the bolt. They then entered
but found that in order TO get into the
front part OF the store they had to open a
glass door In the center Of the dividing
partition.
Owing to the fact that the store has been
broke into three times during the last
year. Mr. Groome some time ago placed
burglar alarm and connected 1t with
tho glass door. The burglar showed back
the glass door which gave the alarm to
Groome and his clerk who were sleeping
above the store. 1t was thought ut tlrst
that the men were shot but an investlgu-
ton failed to show any signs Of blood. .m

Who Shall Rule?

The issue confronts us. Only five
more days remain during which the
people of this city are to decide who
shall rule over them. Each party
has named it's candidates and their
names are before the people; it now
remains for the individual voter to
ask and answer "Who Shall Rule?'
A Republican must and is going
to be elected, and every individual
Republican voter, after having care
fully surveyed the political field,
will find it is his duty to vote for w.
B. Clerk for Mayor. So far as
Messrs. Conway and Curry are con-
cerned, we are all agreed upon
Them and relative to the various
candidates tor City Council, each
voter must and should use his own
Judgment. Mr.. Clerk is and has
always been the working mans
friend, and if there is any question
as to the verify of this, ask those
in his employ. Who shall our next
Mayor be? Let $500 Republicans
together respond: civilian B.

POLITICS OF $
ALL KINDS.

Five more days and then comes
the election for city officers.
Said Republican voter, if DR..
]. c. Fahey gets $500 votes, he will
without doubt be elected Mayor
Of Wilmington.
There will be meeting of the
Democrats OF the Eighth ward this
evening at Taylor and Kirkwood
streets.
The Every Evening. which poses
as a Democratic organ. fails to en-
dorse the Democratic candidate for
Mayor. 1t had an apology in its
issue week ago, disclaiming that
it was against the doctor owing to
his nationality or religion. His
friends now have another guess
coming to them.
William B. Clerk says he expects
to receive several Democratic votes
for Mayor and he will surprise the
voters on Saturday by his large
vote.
Thus far the campaign has been
a quiet one, but the five Mayoralty
candidates are hustling for votes.
Twelve members of the Board of
Education will be elected on Satur-
day, June 10th. All the old men,
bers whose terms expire on that
date are candidates for reelection,
except DR.. Crumbaugh in the Fifth
and Samuel Mcdaniel in the Tenth
wards. Thus far, only two new
candidates have filed notice that
they will run, Thomas F. O'Donnell
and Thomas D. Wood in the Tenth
ward.
The Republican First District
Committee will meet this evening at
the Lincoln Republican Club rooms.
The Andersons say they intend
to vote for Clerk for Mayor. They
feel sore over the turning down of a
colored man for one of the four po-
sitions of street supervisors.
Numerous Republicans talk of
cutting candidate Harry c. Conrad
for City Solicitor, but it will all end
in talk, for Conrad will be a sure
winner.
William B. Clerk is making the
effort of his life to receive enough
votes to be elected Mayor on Satur-
day next.
Charles W. Gooding is sanguine
of being elected to City Council in
the Fifth ward over both his Repub-
lican competitors. Charlie will have
to do some tall hustling to reduce
the 51o Republican majority.
If both factions had conferred on
William B. Clerk for Mayor, he
would have had lead pipe cinrh;
as it is. he will have the race of his
life to defeat Bush and Fahey.
