The Grocery Store Of w. J. Walsh
Broken Into Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night somebody broke in
to the grocery store of w. J. Walsh,
entrance being effected by cutting out
part Of.the lower sash of the window
between the store aud NJ. Hirzel's
saloon, entering upon narrow path
about three feet wide between the two
buildings.
The combination till was touched
for it's contents, $1O.59, while fine un-
derwear, tobacco, mittens, besides
numerous articles that show up mis-
sing every day were taken by the rob-
bers, the exact amount taken cannot
be stated. After getting together all
they wanted, the thieves partook Of q
light lunch before they departed out
the back door with their plumber.
The job was cleverly done and by
the amount of goods taken there must
have been more than one at the job,
and by somebody pretty we'll ac-
quainted with the store to lind Just
what articles they wanted. No ar
rests have been made.

Tough IN Shredded Biscuit
The cob industry is getting to be a
great industry. In Indiana there is a
large factory that utilities millions of
bushels of cobs and they are not man
ufactured into pipes either. A sub
stance known as corona is made
from the cObs which is a fine article
that is supposed to enter largely into
! "shredded biscuit" and other similar
articles Of food. The work is carried
on in secrecy and Just what becomes
Of the output or to whom it is sold,
no one knows Verify we sre coming
back to the old saying: ''cob and all. "
l wonder how cob pancakes would go
with glucose molasses or cob, shred
ded biscuit with glucose sugar and an
article called milk by city residents
which is fer from being the same ar
ticle that is looked upon as such by
farmers.--Wisconsin Farmer.

POPES MAGNIFICENT GIFT.

Rome, June 29.-The Right Rev.
Thomas O'German, bishop of SioX
Falls, said that when he returns to
lhe United States he will be the bear
er of letter from the Pope to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and will take with
him the Pontif's magnificent gift to
the American President, which con-
sists of the view of the city of Rome
from the Vatican study, done in
mosaic. The idea of appointing
Bishop O'Gorman apostolic delegate
in the Philippines appears, for the
present at least, to have been aban-
doned, although the first suggestion
of this appointment was uttered by
the Pope himself when he first re-
ceived VIM. Ell. Taft, civil governor
ofthe Philippines Islands.

CONDITION OF THE KING.

The bulletins of the eminent sur
geons who are endeavoring to save
the life fixing Edward are too indef-
mite to be fully assuring. His pulse
and temperature are not mentioned,
and the most they really say is, the
King still lives. If he clings to life
to the eighth or ninth day then all
will believe he will escape death. To
say, now, however, that he is out Of
danger, is to assert what none know,
for the doctors do not permit any
real information to go out of the pal
lace where the King lies.
Queen Victoria passed away at
Osborne on the evening of January
%, 1901,s and Edward became in
stantly King, without an oath Or any
other ceremony. He simply issued
a royal proclamation of about a dozen
lines in which he announced deter
minat1on to be a constitutional SOW
ereign and to work for the good of
ssmy people," He has, therefore,
been seventeen months a King, and
in that time he has shown his desire
to preserve the best traditions of the
throne. He put his old life behind
him and set before him the task of
being an acceptable head of the state
in the English sense. He reigns
without governing, but even this
task is an important one, and it is
the general belief that King Ed
wards influence has been felt in sew
eral directions, notably in the settle
ment of the Boer war. A King of
England can never again be its mas
ter; that belongs to the House of
Commons, but it is mistake to say
that King like Edward has no po-
litical influence.
He served a long time as appren-
tice to the throne, aad he knows all
public men, all rulers, and his per-
sonality, if he lives, will certainly be
felt. No King was perhaps ever
more popular, and despite MS sport
i've tendencies he is respected through
out the EngIish-speaking world.
This brings to him today the SYM
pathies of all civilized nations.
If he lives he will be crowned, no
doubt, in a quiet manner, and the
proposed pageant is therefore lost
forever. If he does not live, the sue
cession is secure and no shock in the
government will occur. If his re
covery be long delayed or becomes
doubtful the Prince of Wales will be
appointed regent, and when this is
done we may assume that the assur-
ances of recovery have been too flat
tering. Many papers have to be
signed, however, daily by the head
of the state, and a regent may be ap-
pointed this week, even if the Kings
recovery Of health and strength be
probable.
