The first house entered by the burg
lars was that of George F. Peck, where
the thieves secured clothing and jew
elry worth $100. The next place visited
was B. c. Sheldon's residence, Ito NAL
colin avenue, where child's savings
bank, containing SIS in small change,
was stolen.
Shot at the Thieves.
AT f. T. Lindsey's residence, A Ar
thur avenue, the burglars worked their
way into the house and were pushing
the dining room door open when Mrs.
Lindsey heard them, and awakened
Mr.. Lindsey. The electric lights were
turned on all over the house, and the
burglars made a speedy exit. Mr..
Lindsey discharged his rifle at the flee
ing men, but his fire was Ineffective.
No valuables were missed from the
house when a search was instituted
the next morning.
The burglars were also frightened
away from Mrs. Harriet Cables resi-
dence, SO Arthur avenue, before they
had succeeded in securing anything of
value. They got into the house through
a side window.
D. c.. Moak's residence, Al Clarence
avenue, was singled out for visit, but
before the burglars could any more
than get a side window opened Mr..
Moak turned on the dining room lights.
He procured his revolver, but had no
occasion to use it. He found the rob-
bers had made all preparations to en-
ter the house. =
AT Mrs. Himle's home, III Orlfn ave-

small sum, but in some way the bur-
glars overlooked other valuables which
were scattered about the house. Near

In finished materials similar heavy
advances are noted, but exceptions to
this are found in sheets, wire nails and

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: With settlement
of the great strike of 1902, the most
remarkable, in some respects, of mod
ern record, practically the only I'M
favorable feature in general trade and
industry, disappears. Coincident with
this, also, have been the ending of
several minor troubles Of a similar
nature. While relief to the public mind
is, perhaps, the most immediate re-
suit, it is natural to expect that the
present abnormal prices and condi-
lions i'll fuei supply will gradually dis
appear. Some scars, of course, will be
left and the effect of the costly trouble
will, no doubt, be reflected in some
permanent loss of trade in the mining
regions and in rather higher prices for
fuel the coming winter than were paid
a year ago.
All other trade developments this
week are largely favorable. Retail
trade has generally improved, stimu-
lated at thu West, Northwest and
and carnivals. Jobbing demand is also
. better, particularly at the West. Dry
goods, shoe, hat and cap, clothing,
hardware and lumber dealers have all
done well.
Farm and Other Products.
SeasorabIA strength is noted in but
ter and cheese, and the metals are also
higher. In the general strength Of
farl.! products the weakness in cotton
is notable. Wool is firm at all Eastern
markets, manufacturers are liberal
buyers, stocks are being pretty well
reduced and holders are inclined to ask
for higher quotations.
Improvement in the iron trade as a
result of the probable ending of the
coal strike is as yet q matter of senti-
ment, but with the free movement of
coal Eastern iron furnaces now banked
are expected to resume operation,
though coke shortage may close valley
furnaces. In fact, the tendency has
been rather upward. Higher freight
rates caused by the large movement OF
coal from abroad tends to discourage
the imports of foreign pig iron and
tariff regulations as to steel billets may
check the inward movement of these
goods. Domestic billets are higher than

Conditions in steaFfns and Benton.
Stearns and Benton counties have
from time inimemorableHbeen Demo-
cratic and are naturally enough ex-
pected to roll up bigsDemocratic ma
jorities. These will more than main
tain their enviable repgtations. The
Staarns county Democrats are in posi-
ton to wage the most effective fight
they have ever made. They have a
complete and effective Organization,
and the factional differences that have
long been the cause of party managers
Nightmares, have disappeared.
Every man has his shoulder to the
wheel and d new record will be estab-
lished. The county has every reason
to put up an aggressive and effective
fight. It has the candidate for con-
gress, a strong local ticket and fine
set Of nominees for the house Of rep
resentatives. The Democrats Of st.
Cloud have no candidate for the SEN
ate. "Shep' Mcclure, as an independ-
ent candidate, is after Senator Brow
er's scalp, and stands to poll enough
disaffeeted Republican votes, coupled
with the Democratic support he has
beyond question, to land a winner by
a comfortable margin in the Fifty
fourth senatorial district. Senator
Batz has no Republican opposition and
is supported by r. e. Minette, Of Sank
Center, and H. C. Block, nominees for
the house.
Put Up as Sacrifice.
c. A. Hunck, of Duelm, the Fifty
seventh district candidate for the
house, is opposed by J. J. McGregor,
of Minden who seems to have no fol-
lowing. and appears to have been put
up as sacrifice to some deeply yelled
political strategen. 1t will be hard
for the Republicans to get out their
full vote in Stearns county, and Van
SAINT will run far behind the compare
lively light vote that will be polled by
the rest of the ticket.
The Republicans Of Stearns county
are ugly and hopelessly disrupted so
far as the head Of the ticket is con-
cerned. Men known throughout the
state as niolders Of Republican thought
in this county openly avow they will
not vote for Van SAINT, and quite as
openly announce their allegiance to
Mr.. Rosing. This detection will not
extend in it's entirety to the whole Re-
publican ticket. It is largely personal
opposition to the governor himself and
his advocacy of the board of control
bill and the extra session of the legis-
lature which proved expensive and
most larient2ble fascoac

Miss Stella Wood Tells Mothers Club
That Parents Should Give Children
Washtubs and ShoveIs, Instead Of
Cheap Toys, for Christmas Presents.

Mrs J. H. Yorks, who has been pres
ider1t of the Monroe Mothers club for
seven years, was reelected at yes
terday's annual meeting of the club
in the kindergarten rooms in the Mon
roe school. Mrs. Yorks was the or
ganizer of this club, which, next to
the Lowertown Mothers club, is the
largest one of it's kind in st. Paul.
Other officers were elected yesterday,
as follows: Vice president, Mrs.
George McGary; secretary, Mrs. REIN
hard Jedderrnan; executive committee,
Mrs. L. A. Jette, Mrs. Emma Norton
and Miss Anna Wright.
Foolish Christmas Presents.
Miss Stella Wood, Of Minneapolis,
president of the State kindergarten
association, addressed the club mem
bers yesterday on "The Value of Kin
dergarten Work" Miss Woods address
was partly a protest against what she
termed 1.-The foolish Christmas pres
ents that parents usually give their
children" The majority of these gifts
Miss Wood declared were tawdry and
perishable, and of no positive value to
the recipients. Christmas gifts, the
speaker thought, should not only be
lasting, but they should teach some
thing of the spirit of this greatest of
holidays.
Washtubs for the Girls.
Miss Wood suggested as suitable
toys for boys, hammers, shovels and
