Funeral Services Wednesday.
Theodore S. Mills, for more than
twenty-six years resident of Morris,
died at the home OF his daughter,
Mrs. A. A. Stone, last Tuesday morn
ing at 1870 a. m. after a prolonged
illness. Mr.. Mills had been in poor
health for several years, and, last fall
he went to California in order that he
might avoid the severe Minnesota
winter. The change of climate, how
ever, was too severe for his vitality
He returned to Morris this spring
much reduced in strength and steadi-
" declined until the unwelcome mes
senger called him away last Tuesday
morning.
Deceased was born at Western
Oneida county, n Y, March 26, 1882
In 1888 his parents moved to Illinois,
where they resided for a number Of
years, and where, in 1855, he WAS
married to Miss Delana Sanders.
Shortly after their marriage they
moved to Red Wing Mimi, and lived
there until the year 1876, when they
moved to Morris. Since 1885, Mr..
Mills has made his home with the
family of A. A. Stone, where his wife
died April II, 1900 Four children
were born to them, two dying in in
fancy, and son dying of heart fail
ure December IS, 1884. Mrs. A. A.
Stone is the only surviving member
of the family. Two of his sisters sur
vive him, Mrs. Hutchins, of Burtrum,
and Mrs. Roat, of Minneapolis, the
latter of whom was with him at the
time of his death.
Mr. Mills was a man of excellent
character, who was respected by all
who knew him. He was always in
dustrious and honest and his great
est ambition in life was to shed into
the lives of those with whom he
came in contact, some little ray Of
sunshine, rather than to lend hand
to any selfish motive. With this ex
celIent trait of character he won the
admiration of large circle of friends
who extern 1 their heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved relatives.
Funeral services were held at the
residence last Wednesday afternoon,
Rev. F. II. Richardson officiating,
and the remains inferred il the Nor
ris cemetery.

PROMENADE
LADIES OF THE GUILD ENTER
TAIN AT THE ARr1ORY.
Latest in the Musical Art--PrOgres-
sive Chat---Dainty Refreshments
Served at Close of Program.

SlVe Chat.==Dalnty RefreShme ntS
Served at Close of Program.
In response to invitations sent out
this week by the Ladies Guild of
the Episcopal church, learly three
hundred guests assembled at the
armory last evening to participate in
a concert promenade, representative
of the best musical talent, inter"
spersed with progressive chat and
followed by dainty refreshments.
The ladies had made special effort
to make the prom enade an enter
tanning success. and undoubtedly
their labors have been fully re
warded, for we have heard only the
most favorable comment as to the
excellence Of che program.
The decorations entered largely
into the evenings program, and with
a profusion of house plants, cut
flowers and draperies, intermingled
with an occasional spray of evergreen
or palm, the spacious hail was trans
formed into a veritahle reception
room. A table was placed at the
lower end Of the hall, artistically
arranged with silver and cut glass,
and light refreshments were served
by the ladies at the close of the
program.
AS to the program, we publish it
as whole, for any comment by us
on each respective number might
detract rather than add to their real
merit. Every number was an array
of musical talent beyond our ability
to criticize.

Shoe Factories Idle.

BURLINGTON, N. j., July 9.-The six
shoe factories in this city. employing
about 1900 men and women, are idle for
the first time in twenty years, as the re-
suit of conflict between the manufac-
turers and their employees More than
half the population of the town is depend
ent upon the shoe-making industry for a
livelihood. The firms affected are: J. F.
Budd & Co., r.. T. Wood & Co., the
Standard Shoe Company, the Bastian Shoe
Company, J. w. Lewis & Son and Farmer
& Carman. Recently the shoe makers,
men and women, organized under the
name of the Burlington Boot and Shoe
Workers Union, No. l. The manufac-
turers objected to this proceeding. and
last Thursday posted notices in their fac
tories that, beginning yesterday only
non-union labor would be employed. The
union at that time numbered about 400
members. but since then. it is claimed,
all of the employees have become mem
bers. The shoe workers held a meeting
Saturday night. with the result that not
one of the union workmen appeared at
the factories yesterday. The employees
had made no demands on the manufac-
turerS.

SOME PROGRESS
TOWARD AGREEMENT
Freight Handlers Union Agree TO
Abide by Decision of Board
of Arbitration.
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO. July Robustness men Of
the city took an active part in attempt
ing to settle the strike of the freight
handlers to-day and at midnight moth
ing had been definitely settled, SO little
progress had been made.
An agreement was secured from the
Freight Handlers Union that the organ
ization would abide by the decision of
the Chicago Board of Arbitration. if that
organization could arrange meetings
with the general managers of the rail-
roads and secure their consent also to
arbitration.
At midnight the request for arbitration
had not been submitted to the railroads
and it is not likely that such action will
be taken before tomorrow morning.
There is grave doubt that the PROPOSE
ton will be favorably received by the
railroads when it comes.

FOUND PLUMBER
Further Trace Of Robbers of Rock Is
land Train Discovered.


CHICAGO, July s.-Further trace OF
Five" train on the Rock Island road
last Thursday night was secured by the
discovery of part of their booty in a
corn field near FINLEY Park. A gunny
sack containing number of watches. a
quantity of jewelers. supplies and one OF
the masks worn by the robbers was
found by Dexter Minard. farmer who
lives within half a mile of the place
where the train was held up.
The loCa ton of the place where the
plumber was found indicates that the men
made their way toward Chicago. The
sack was found on the farm of Henry
Schultz. three and one-half miles north
of FINLEY Park The half-obliterated
tracks in the soil have given the sheriff
and the police another slight clew upon
which TO base their identity of the rob-
bers when once they are caught.
The railway officials were notified last
evening Of the find. The police and the
sheriffs were not notified and the far
mers took the property to DR.. Charles
w Bishop of FINLEY Park, in whose pos
session it now is. DR. Bishop is the ply
sician who attended the wounded express
messenger, Kane and he has been active
in the effort to find the robbers
The finding of the plumber was acct
dental Neither Minard nor Schultz had
any intention OF seeking for the robbers
or the stolen articles. Minard had gone
to the farm of Schultz and the two men
walked out in the corn field, a forty
acre field extending north of the farm
house. They had reached the middle
Of the field when Ainard notified half
oblterated footprints in the damp soil
al the edge Of the field. He followed the
tracks for a little distance and noted
that the oats were trampled for a space.
Looking further he discovered a large
sunny sack Minard called Schultz to
his side and the two examined the con-
tents Of the sack.
The first look within the bag convinced
them that the articles were a. part of the
plumber of the railroad robbery. Inside
the bag was a black mask some eighteen
inches long. and beneath the mask was
a quantity of jewelers. supplies and a
box OF watches. The bag was taken to
the home OF DR.. c. W. Bishop.
In the opinion OF DR.. Bishop and others
who have watched the course of the case
the thieves had taken this method of dis
posing of the less valuable part Of the
plumber. The watch movements would
be difficult to dispose Of to advanta ge
even should the men succeed IN reaching
Chicago or some other city. The other
articles would be valuable only to deal
er in jewelry. and some Of the other ar
ticles would be difficult to dispose Of

lie has heard of Buffalo Bills Wild

| ton for the use of firearms and his
steady aim cost Mrs. Jacob Grouse, OF
No 1908 East Genesee Street, a handsome
fox terrier and Kept the neighbors in
state of siege for a while last Thurs
day morning.
Mr.. Aging senior besides oelnS one
OF the best golf players in the city, is
himself a crack shot. In the attic of
his home at the corner of University
Avenue and Harrison Street he keeps
number of firearms, including Win
chester rifle. Johnnie during the last
week heard g. good many pre-Independ-
ence day firecrackers exploded by the
boys of his neighborhood, and so last
Thursday morning shortly after 10
O'Clock. he took it into his head that
the time was ripe for him to have a lit
tt" celebration Of his own. His parents
were away. Johnnie climbed up to the
attic, took down the loaded rifle stuck
it out of the attic window, and without
more ado began blazing away at every
to the CONSERVATION Of passers-by. The
carriage of Mrs. Jacob Grouse, driven by
Goa Gilman Stats E. Whitlock, came
along on Harrison Street down the firing
line. A fox terrier following behind the
carriage attracted the boys attention
Picking the animal out as a good target,
he took careful aim and shot. The bullet
struck the dog, injuring it so badly that
the animal had to be killed afterward
to put it out of its misery. When Mr..
Wh'theck, who lives in the corner house
on tho opposite side Of Harrison Street,
from Mr.. Ayling. returned, it is said the
boy pointed the gun At him and Mr.
Wh'tbeck was compelled to dodge behind
a tree in real Indian fashion to escape
teirS shot. 1t is reported. moreover,
tn,t it with some difficulty that
the gun was finally taken away from
the boy.
1t was said at the Aging residence
last evening that the firearms were be-
ycnd Johnnie's reach now, and that he
had done his last shooting for some
time. The people living in the neigh
bcrhood doubtless will brea the easier to
know that Johnnie has suspended HOSTILE
ties.
