ROBBERS MAKE
A BIG HAUL
Over $1,000 in Gold Stolen From
Residence of Charles Rex
Wednesday Evening
NO CLUE TO THE BURGLARS

ENTRANCE SUPPOSED TO HAVE
BEEN EFFECTED THROUGH A
SECOND STORY FRONT WINDOW.
NO TRACES OF VIOLENCE DIS
COVERED.
From all accounts robbers made a
good haul at the saloon and residence
OF Charles G. Rex, No. East Second
street on Wednesday night
The burglary is supposed to have
taken place on the evening mentioned.
and was discovered by Mr. Rex when
he retired TO his room about 1O.45
o'clock for the night.
Entrance is believed to have been ef-
fected through a window on the second
floor facing on Second street, and de
rectly over the saloon proper
ROOM IN DISORDER
When Mr.. Rex entered his room he
was surprised to find il in disorder.
Clothing was strcwn about the floor,
bureau drawers were taken cut and
placed upon chairs. and indications
were that a thorough ransacking Of the
room had taken place. One of the win
dows the one nearest King street, was
partially open, and IL was through that
that the burglars are supposed TO have
entered.
MONEY IN WARDROBE.
In the top part Of a wardrobe Mr..
Rex kept his cash, amounting to 81 ,OS5
in gold. The upper part of the ward
robe had been removed and laid upon
the floor. although II was net neces-
sary to disturb It to gain access TO the
compartment in which the money was
kept The coin was kept in four sep
arate tin boxes. These were found
upon the floor empty A martin fur
|ccat, valued at $500. was also found
upon the floor of the room. together
with several neckties, from one OF
which valuable diamond pin had
ben taken.
LEFT OTHER MONEY.
A peculiar instance regarding tho
robbery is the fact that in one of the
bureau drawers which were removed
from hteir proper places were two
boxes containing $50 in money and
gold watch, belonging to Mrs. Rex, and
valued at over $3.50. Neither the
money nor the watch was disturbed.
A CLOSE INVESTIGATION.
The police We're at once notified Of
/ The robbery. and both night and day
officers have made a careful investiga-
ticn Beyond the fact Of the window
being open. there was no evidence Of
forcible entry. Even the dust that
had accumulated on the sill had not
been disturbed. although the lace cur
tains were slightly torn No footprints
were found upon the carpet.
The last time that Mr.. Rex saw his
money was on Tuesday night, and he
cannot remember of noticing any
strange parties about the house on
Wednesday. His two sons, William
and John. who attend bar for him,
we're about the premises all day, VIII
liam going TO the Opera House in the
evening. The perplexing part of the
affair is how the robbers managed TO
enter the second-story window Off Sec
ond street early in the evening with
out being seen. Some three years ago
Mr. Rexs place was similarly robbed OF
money and jewelry.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious

seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration CT Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and 8 op fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that is oil
they took when feeling dull and bad

The time has arrived for Alexan-
drians to take some steps to
start small manufacturing estab-
lishments themselves and not wait
for outsiders TO do so. We have
tried that ever since 1852, if not
longer. There ls an abundance OF capt.
tai 10 our midst, and there are good
mechanics here to 90 into the same,
smart enough TO soon pick up what
knowledge they lack. Between $50,-
600 to 100000 Can be raised very
easily on the monthly installmeDt
plan, and we can start dozen small
industries, which, wisely conducted,
will grow into large ONES. When out
side capital sees that We are in earnest
about starting manufactures ourselves,
they then may find this is the best
point, and start others themselves, or
may put up part of the cash and We as.
slst them, etc., etc.
An Alexandria cooperative mapufsc-
turing association Can be chartered,
1000 shares par value 500 can be sold
payable monthly If necessary; paid up
stock to be issued the holders partici-
pating 10 the profits of the factories;
all matters OF outlay TO be under q
board of managers consisting of our
best business men. This money so
raised is not gift, but business prop
osiLion, where stockholders will partic-
ipato in all profits. There is no fool
ishness, no put up job, no axe to grind,
but an earnest effort to help ourselves.
There are very few too poor to pay,
say, 81 per month, and FROM that up o
$50 per month, when they know they
will get it back in time with interest.
Other cities work cooperative schemes

VERY GOOD POLITICS.
HAWAII AND PORTO RICO IN
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Leaders Consider It a Good Play to
Seat Six Delegates From Each
Island

Chicago. May 15.-The Record says:
Hawaii and Porto Rico will send dele
gates to the democratic national conven-
tlon. Each island will be accorded six
delegates If the wishes of the democrat ic
leaders are carried out.
Senators Jones, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee. recently re-
ceiVed letter from some Sandwich Is
landers who said they were anxious to
know II the convention would seat a Ha-
Walian delegation should one come to
Kansas City. July 4th. Senator Jones
replied that the convention itself would
nave to pass on that question. but it is
said he advised the Sandwich Islanders
to send along their delegation and 1t
might be seated.
r Democratic managers say there is some
pretty politics in the idea of giving seats
In the convention to a Porto Rican dele
cation. They believe it will be a good
play in view of the fact that the demo.
cratic platform will contain an anti-Im-
perialistic plank.
BY seating a delegation from Porto
Rico and giving it six votes the demo-
Gratis in convention would demonstrate e
in practical way their contention that
Porto Rico is part of the United States
and is a territory co-equal in all things

than 50 per cent originate in the United
States.
The Porter tariff made cuts in the old
Spanish tariff, and in the very begin
ming attention was directed to food
products. 1t was felt to be just that
these necessares of life should sustain
as little tax as possible. So cattle were
admitted al a duty of 81 per head, and
foodstuffs generally paid only Is per cent

IN charge of the island We're surprised
to witness the effect of these changes.
The prices Of food did not go down in
cuba; several staples at least actually
advanced Lack of competition and
conservatism are the reasons assigned
Tor this state of affairs. There may be
a remedy in reciprocity with the United
states. At any rate the tariff reViSerS
felt that they could do little to meet
TINS strange situation, and recommends
ed that the few changes they Sumbit be
tested for another year before more rad
zeal measures are employed. Therefore,
about the only important reduction made
by them in the food schedules is in the
duty on salt cod and Goldfish largely
consumed in Cuba), which is reduced
from 81 to 81. and in the duty on wheat
flour, reduced from $3.50 to ST. The duty
on cattle is raised from 81 to 81 per
head
There are many other changes in the
other schedules, however, that are be-
lieved to be of the greatest importance
to American exporters doing business
with Cuba. These changes relate largely

Changes in Schedules of Great Import

Washington May 15-The war depart

here and in Havana the schedules of the
revised Cuban tariff, which go into effect
June Is next. The revised tariff, it is
will slightly increase the rev.
enues of the island. which We're last
year, approximately. $4,000 900. The pri-
mary purpose of the Porter tariff is not
to provide against a deficiency of reve-
nues. but to stimulate importations from
the United States. The trade between
Cuba and the United States has not aug
mented since the American occupation,
and even the application of the Porter
tariff was not attended by any benefit
in the increase of the aggregate volume
of trade. OF the imports into Cuba less
