COTTAGE BREAKERS
Two Madison Lake Cottages Broken
Open.
$50 Reward for the Conviction of the
Parties.

Word was received in this city last
Saturday that the new cottage belong
ing to Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Baker and
Miss Van Blarcum, at Point Pleasant,
had been broken open. Tuesday
morning Miss Van Blarcum went over
to the lake and found the report to be
true One of the shutters to the win
dow had been torn off and the window
smashed. The front door had been
broken in with an axe and other de-
predations committed. The contents
of the cottage, such as bedding rugs,
ETC., were thrown promiscously about
the rooms, chests and trunks broken
open and things generally turned topsy
turvy. Miss Van Blarcum does not
know whether or not anything was
taken. The miscreants found two or
three glasses of jelly which they dis
posed of and left the empty glasses.
Miss Van Blarcum also found the
front door of L. P. Hunts cottage
broken and everything inside turned
upside down and left in the same
scattered condition as in her own. In
this cottage the axe used in breaking
in the doors was found, and in the
ladies cottage was found the lantern
used by the devils bent on property
destruction
Miss Van Blarcum secured the SER
vices of carpenter and fastened the
cottages as best she could.
Reward Offered.
The parties guilty of this otfense of
breaking into the cottages are not
absolutely known, but strong sus-
picions are not wanting A careful
investigation will be made to locate
positively who the guilty ones are, and
to the end that stop may be put to
this sort of depreciation MI. Hunt has
joined with the ladies owning the
"Uneeda Rest cottage in offering $50
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the perpetrators of the deed.
1t is to be hoped that the guilty may
be apprehended. The punishment is
very severe for house breaking and
mutilation of private property, and
if apprehended, the full penalty of the
law will be melted out. There is no
punishment too severe for the low
destructive acts.

given assurance of an ample sup
ply of the product. The need of
diversified farming is generally
conceded, aud beet growing offers
strong inducements, for the reas-
on that it yields large returns and
is measureably certain to do we'll
in seasons when other crops fail.
And another consideration of i'm
portance is the fact that the by
products ofthe beet sugar indus
try are exceedingly valuable in
feeding stock. In drouthy seasons
such an addition to the supply Of
succulent feed for milk COWS and
other stock would be very well
come on many farms. A good
sized field of beets, within reach
of factory. would most likely
yield more net profit, acre for acre,
than any crop on the farm, espec-
iallp in a year of shortness from

Look Out for Squalls.

From every indication it now
seems that the new President has,
In manner, cut loose from the
political machine, and will be
President in person. There are
none who doubt repubicanism,
but it is now evident that he feels
able to hold the helm and guide
the old ship of state without the
help OF Hanna cor any other
man." He has already stated that
ability is to be the necessary quail
lfication, and not party; that he
hopes to find in the republican
party q sufficient quantity of ma
terial to fill the positions at his
command, but in failing to find
such in his own party he will not
fail to find what he wants in the
democratic party-ftness being
the object sought. He has also
made another move that will meet
the approval of every friend to
good government, by appointing
in the south a democrat to a judic-
ial position. II is we'll known that
a large proportion of the republic
can party in the south is compos-
ed of that unfortunate race that
has n OF heretofore had the best
advantages for acquiring knowl-
edge, and while it may not be the
fault of the race, yet it is a known
fact, that such men do not make
the most efficient officers, and Mr..
Roosevelt recognizes this fact,
and has demonstrated his ability
to rise above party and seek abil-
ity for position. This may not
please the MACHINE, but if it suits
the President, it will be the policy
OF his administration, to meet the
issue like man and leave the re-
suits with the American people.
Az the newly married man said:
"Look out for squalls" We may
have another Andy johnson time
of 1t, but if we were disposed to
bet we would rick our money on
the success of Theodore the FIRST.

About Visiting one. Name.

People who sign their letters with
Wild flourishes or initials only and give
no address offer one of the worst OF
compliments to their correspondent by
|egotistically assuming that their hand
writing must be Of such familiar im-
portance to him or that they and their
affairs are so present to his mind that
further Identification is unnecessary.
Having their signature cut from the
end of letter and the address from its
heading pasted on the envelope which
incloses reply is a bad compliment
which many persons bring upon them-
selves by an objectionable illegibility.
1t is singular fact that accidental mis-
spelling or mispronunciation of ones

FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS.
Pnrticularly Guarded Axain.t b,
Etrms That Handle Cot&nn

fnrtAculnrly Guarded AEnlnat by
Ftrms That Handle Cotton.
Speaking of insurance matters"
said listener, II suppose the plain,
old fashioned nail has caused more
fires in the big establishments where
machinery is used In many and COM
Iplicated ways than any other little
thing In existence. The only thing
needed is for it to come In contact with
some other hard material with sufa-
Gent force to cause Il spark and heat
generation. Nails have really produced
heavy per cent of the cotton fires OF
the country. During recent years, on
account of steps taken by the owners
and conductors of the larger cotton and
byproduct plants ut the instance Of In
surance men, the nail has not been
such prolific producer Of fires.
IA way has been found, for instance.
In cotton gins, cotton mills and In
plants where cottonseed are put
through manufacturing processes, of
extracting nails aud other weighty and
fiinty substances that may find lodg-
ment in these intlammable products.
Gravity is the natural force used. Nails
and rocks and materials of this kind
are heavier than cotton and its by
products. and they have a tendency to
force their way to the bottom Of the
heap. BY allowing these products to
pass over n rolling belt arrangement
these heavier materials filter toward
the bottom and are finally extracted,
so that when the cotton or the cotton-
seed passes through the grind In the
various manufacturing processes there
is but little danger from fire so fur as
these things are concerned."-New Or.
leans Times Democrat.
