William Owen.


Ever since he made a hit In July,
Marlowe's production of Romeo and
Juliet, Worlds Fair year, and played
one of the principal roles in the great
Shakesperian love story for months in
Chicago, William Owen has been cop
sidered one of the foremost of stage
lovers. The term temperament has
been bohooed at for years. but never
theless the thousands WHO saw Mr.
owen in Romeo and Juliet at that time
and since have been greatly impressed
with his peculiar fitness for portrayipg
the beauty, the charms and the pathos
OF q love story. Since his first success IN
ISIS Marlowe's company his Shaket :
p.rian scholarship has progressed until
he is now regarded as an authority up
on the classic drama among the young
IT generation of actors.
This season he is to be seen only in
one play, and because of the many de-
mahds for it Romeo and Juliet has been
selected and given a handsome stage
mounting with competent supporting
company. To be be seen in this city.
Mr.. Owen in his impersonation of
Romeo looses none of his fascination
personality and to it is added the magic
of Shakespeare's greatest lover.

Burglars Bore Holes Through the Floor

Chicago, Oct. pa sensational rob-
berry which netted the perpetrators
$76,06S in stamps. was discovered here
when the wholesale stamp depart
ment of the temporary postoftiee was
opened for business. A rapid investi-
CATION developed the fact that the bur-
glars had crawled under the flooring
for about 800 feet, bored holes in the
bottom of the vault, secured the
stamps and escaped, carrying their
booty in wagon.
The work of forcing an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going on
with the greatest patience for many
days. 1t is believed, however, that
the intention of the thieves had been
to enter the cashiers vault, in which
there was $4,000 in money and stamps
valued at hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. The bottom of the vault is
of steel, half an inch thick. In this
ninety-seven holes were bored until a
space eighteen inches square-just
enough to allow the entrance of q
mans body-had been so weakened
that 1t was possible to take out the
whole plate with little difficulty. A
dry goods box stood over the hole thus
made and concealed the work of the
robbers while 1t was in Drogress.

Ferdinand Durham.

But few of the early pioneers to this
county now remain with us, most Of
them having passed to, "the undiscover-
ed country, from whose bourne no trsv
eler returns"
Last Thursday, Ferdinand Durham a
resident of this county for nearly half
century, died at his home in this city.
He had been blessed with excellent
health all his life until few months
before his decease, and his illness had
at no time been such as to confine him
to his bed, until few hours before his
demise. About 8 o'clock last We'd
nesdsy evening he retired for the night,
and at two o'clock the next morning he
complained of being very i'll, and five
hours thereafter his spirit returned to
the God who gave it.
Mr.. Durham was native of New
York having been born in Otsego
county that state on February 20, 1874,
and where he resided until 1889, in
which year he came west and settled in
La Porte county Indiana. The follow
ing year he was joined in marriage with
Miss Angelina McCollum. In 1855.
they came to this county and located
on farm in this township, on which
they resided until 1870, and then remov
ed to this city. Mrs. Durham died In
1892. Their surviving children are
Abner and DIR. o. A. Durham of this
city and James A. Durham, of Beaver
City, Nebraska.
For thirteen years Mr.. Dunbar served
the people of this county as member
of the board of supervisors. He was a
modest, unpretentious man, but of
sterling worth, and possessed of strong
common sense, honesty, integrity, and
sound judgment. He was loving and
loyal husband and father, q public
spirited citizen, q good and true man,
and one who enjoyed-and justly too
the confidence and esteem of all,

There are too many American citi-
zens for the the good of this country, of
the same up as the dyed in-the-wool
republican who figures as the hero of
the following, from the Waterloo Times
Tribune: "a laughsble incident hap
pened during the voting on the Fourth
street bridge proposition, and shows how
dyed-in-the-wool republican viii
stand by the party at all times and un-
der all circumstances. The old gentle
man in question approached the mourn
ers' bench where tickets were furnished
presided over by we'll known gentlemen
and asked for his ticket. His request
was granted after the usual red tape
had been gone through and he went to
the booth. On close examination of
the ticket, to his disgust, he discovered
that there was not the word "republi-
can" at the head of the ticket. He is
true blue, and though perhaps not
from Missouri, had to be shown just
the same. He returned hurriedly to the
bench and wanted to know what kind
of deal they were putting up. Empha-
sizing his remarks that he was full
fledged American citizen, he demanded
to be shown why they had offered him
q ticket without the party label. Ex-
plantations followed with little effect
and he retired from the room none too
we'll pleased.

AS much has recently appeared in
print regarding the consumption Of
sugar in this country, the various
sources from which it is obtained, the
amount Of duty thereon, ETC., the fol-
lowing facts and figures will be of in
terest at this time, says the Weekly Sta
tistical Sugar Trade Journal: 1.-THE
total consumption of sugar in the
United States last year was 2,2l9,847
tons, and based on the average
increase of 6.34 per cent. during the
past 10 years, the consumption this year
should be 1880, 5s5 tons. OF this guam
tity 100000 tons in round figures will
come from American sources, say
Louisiana being able to produce $780,
900 tons, United States beet factories
10000, Hawaii, 100000, and Porto
Rico 10000, all being free of duty,
leaving 1,360,5S5 tons to come from
other sources and on which a duty is
paid. The average duty assessed is 1886
per ton, or a total of S48,981, $3.50. The
price Of all the sugar consumed, how
ever, being enhanced to the extent of the
duty of $36 per ton or total of 1884,.
98l, $3.50, 1t is evident that $3.50 100000 ad
ditional is paid by the people in order
to provide the government with 40 mil
lions for revenue, Of which the govern
ment is not now in need. If the duty
is taken off Cuba sugar, the benefit of
IS millions goes to the people. On Oc-
tober 9Th, the quotations for Cuba Cen
trifugal sugar 9S per cent. test, free on
board Cuba was 1856 cents per pound,
duty on same amounts to 1855 cents
equivalent to SO per cent. advslorem. :"

flames, which We're famed by a forty
five-mile gale, swept through the prln-

the wind decreased in fury the firemen
and hundreds of miners succeeded in
getting the fire under control. Over
sixty buildings are in ashes, and many
more are badly scorched. The build.
ings were nearly all large wooden
structures.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by the bursting of an oil stove
