HER FIRST SEA PLUNGE.

lions of Delight and Terror.
II must have been about years old
when was first taken to the seashore,"
said Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and
blind wonder In recent interview with
an eastern writer. 81 had never had
so much as Whit Of the salt air, but
| had read In n big book called Our
World n description of the ocean which
filed me with wonder and an intense
longing to touch the mighty sea and
feel II roar. SO my little heart leaped
high with eager excitement when |
knew my wish was at last TO be real
lied. No sooner had | been helped into
my bathing suit than sprang out upon
the warm sand and without a thought
of fear, plunged into the cool water.
"When | felt the great pillows rock
and sink, my delight knew no bounds
The buoyant motion Of the water filed
me with exquisite, quiyerlng JOY, but
suddenly the ecstasy gave place to the
widest terror, for my foot struck
against n rock and the next instant
there was n rush Of water over my
head. thrust out my hands to grasp
some support. clutched at the water
which the waves and the seaweed toss
ed In my face, but all my frantic efforts
were in vain.
"The waves seemed to be playing q
game with me and tossed me from one
to another in their wild frolic. 1t was
fearful The good. firm earth had
slipped from under my feet, and every
thing seemed shut out from this
strange, all enyeloping element-life,
air, warmth and love. At last, how
ever the sea, as if weary with its new
toy, threw me back on the shore. and
in another instant | was clasped in my
mothers arms. Oh, the comfort of the
long, tender embrace! AS soon as |
had sufficiently recovered from my
panic to say anything l demanded:

fecting an Entrance-oetaiIs
Of the Burglary.

much excited over the burglary at
that place last week, short mc ntion Of
which was made by the Telegram last
week.
The burglary was committed about
1880 O'Clock at night Some Of Daniel
Starkey's blacksmith tools were stolen
from his shop, with which to effect an
entrance into A. NJ. Westfall's store,
which contained the post once. Egress
was made through the ware room
door and window, the latch door being
pried open and the glass broken out OF
the window. A barrel was placed at
the window and another at the back
fence of the garden for convenience.
The dynamite was placed under the
combination Of the safe and when II
exploded the combination was COM
pletely ruined and the inside Of the
door badly demolished.
Mr.. Westfall was aroused by the ex-
plosion and got up hurriedly. He re-
marked, "there goes my safe" and
struck match to find his shoes and a
few extra loads for his revolver. The
light made by the match was observed
by the burglars and they made good
their escape at once. They did so so
hurriedly that one of them went head
lon through a window alighting in
the back garden on his hands and
knees. Mr.. Westfall ran to rear
win low but the burglars escaped from
the other side, which was the same
side through which they had entered.
II be had gotten on that side OF the
house some OF them would not have
lived to tell the the tale, as he is a
crak shot.
The total loss will exc ed $50, Of
which 49 cents was postal money, $50
in watches belonging TO Mr. Westfall
and the balance as damage 10 the
safe.
Only few days prior to this burg
larry the post Office at Lightburn WIS
robbed in a similar manner. Wesley
Posts store at Good Hope was also
burglarized about a month ago, the
burglars entering through window.
Three dollars in cash was taken from
the drawer. II is believed all these
burglaries were committed by the
same gang, none OF whom has thus far
been identified.
The eveningof the burglary at Good
Hope, Mr.. Westfall discussed the
Lightburn burglary with NJ. ]. Dem
nison and Frank Kidd, travelling men,
and as they retired for the night, Mr..
Dennison remarked TO Westfall, II
hope the burglars will not come to
your store tonight" The remark
caused Mr.. westfall 10 take nearly all
Of his money to the house, lock the
safe and secure an extra round of loads
from cartridge box for his pistol
The remark probably prevented him
from losing a great deal more.
Mr. Dennison showed Mr.. WeStfall
sample pairs Of pants that evening
preparatory to selling hima bill OF
clothing next morning. He left them
on the counter. Next morning four
pairs were found lying by the demol-
ished safe. 1t is supposed the burg
lars intended to steal the pants, but
forgot them in their hurried escape.
Jcwelry amounting to two hundred
dollars in value was in the show case
and might have been stolen, II it had
not been for the timely discovery of
the burglars presence.

BUSINESS IS STILL BRISK |
In The Face Of Drawbacks Which
Caused Some Hesitation.
CEREAL MARKETS AWAKE.

New York, April 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly trade review says: Bush
ness continues brisk for the season in
the face of some drawbacks which at
times might cause marked hesitation.
Chief of these is the floods in many
directions, which have interfered with
railroad operations and interrupted
the distribution of merchandise, and
the weather all over the east has been
adverse to an increase of retail trade.
Bank clearings, however, show that
while speculation has been heavy there
must have been a well sustained vol
ume of legitimate business.
Railroad earnings make encouraging
gains. Reports from the interior show
special strength in conditions through
Missouri, Kansas and Ohio. and the
future is full of promise, unless there
is misfortune with the crops.
Much unfavorable comment has APP
peared regarding the advance in steel
rails to S2s. Yet the change is only in
keeping with recent increases in prices

steel have long been disregarded in
contracts calling for early delivery and
list prices are generally moving up to
representative level. On new business
or export orders it is not unreasonable
to make prices for rails on a parity
with other products of this industry.

Much of the increased trading and
sharp advance in prices resulted from
clever manipulation by single west

| While there was an element of strength
in the reports of late planting, slow
movement of the old crop held greater
influence as stocks available for de-

people of all the southern states eat a
good deal of corn bread and the people

corn. He says the people of Texas
will not eat meal made from yellow
corn and must have white corn. White
