- Local Notes. Y

Burglars broke into RoWlands q
Sons store at Rio, Wis, at 3:15 Mon
day morning. They made thelr
entrance through the front door of
the store by prying open the same with
a crow bar. The Rowland Bros, Will
and Harry who were sleeping in the
store never awoke until one OF the
burglars was making his way to the
Office corner by striking matches. This
caused the Boys to awaken and calling
to the burglars to halt, to which COM
mand they paid no attention, but
took to their heels and both fled. 1t
is needless to say that they were not
captured.

DEATH OF FRED BEINER.

Fred Beiner, who came to this
country from Switzerland several
years age, died at his residence Sat
urday hight and was buried yester-
day. He arrived in New Orleans
from his native country where he
married, when he renewed to this
city and followed his profession Of
paper hanging and painting. 1t is
supposed that he died of paralysis, as
he once before had stroke Of that
disease, bnt Of late years his health
had gradually been declining and he
had become discouraged, so much 80
that he was heard TO say that he
would prefer death if he knew that
he had no chance to get well. He
made a good citizen and was gener-
ally we'll liked by those who knew
him.

WIND AND THUNDER STORMS.

There was a thunder STERN
down about Brooklyn, ia this
county, yesterday and the lightning
that flashed did some damage to
property. In one place along the
Gulf and Ship Island road it shiv-

tearing 1t up considerably, but net
seriously injarlng any enc. Ct. A..
Kennedy, whe is ia the city, was no.
titled concerning the matter this
morning by mail, and Mr.. Perkin-

inference that the building was pref

there was considerable wIndstorn
IN that section, SO severe that some
of the houses were moved nearly of

other sections in the county thai
there was considerable wind, also
that lightning was frightful. So far

THE CROP CONDITION.
Corn Being Replanted-sCotton Out

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July l4.-In several parts
of the state the early planting Of corn
which was burned up during the re-
cent drouth is being cut down and
the land replanted Wits corn. The
farmers believe that, in case Of n late
fall, they will have plenty of time in
which TO raise Il new crop, and if the
plant should be cut off from fruitlon
by early frost it will make good fod-
der.
Good rains visited many sections
of the state during the past week,
and the crop outlook is now consid-
erably brighter than it has been for
six weeks. There has been no gen.
eral spread for the Mexican boil
weevil among cotton, and the pros
poets look good fer an ave rage yield

THE MAYORS COURT.

This was Mondsy morning and of
course there was large number Of
cases before bis honor
1t is little strange with what regu-
larity these cases come up before the
mayor, especially when the principals
are generally new enes. If Tom Jones' is
arrested and fined for carrying conceal
ed deadly weapon it would seem that
Bill Saith would throw his gun away
or at least leaYe 1t at home when be
comes to town. Bat he does not. He
will take the chances and bring it along
in his hip pocket. Alnd the same exam
pie Is applicable to retailing, shooting
crars and many other offerses against
the Law that come up every day before
the mayor. But the city must have
money o. it could not run and the $s2l.-
so taken this morning over the captain )
counter will lie considerable help.
There were two cases mp for retailing
They were fined S35 each and the beer
money. There was another case for as
sisting in retailing. with fine of $40
and also the beer money. And still an
othe~ case. but this one was discharged
One of the above cases was against a
woman.
Kitty Rice was fioed $40 for vagrancy
and hoy for jumping off train while
it was in motion vas fined $3.50.
Then here came in lot of fellows,
who, it is stated lived in Marion county
There were three of them. They came
to the city with guns on their person
and the police picked them mp to keel
them from accidentally shooting them
selves or some one else. The mayor put
a fiae on them of $3.50 each, making
$3.50 that three citizens of Marion cour
ty turned over to the municipal govern
meut of Hattiesbnrg, besiies The cost.
There was one use of profanity 80 .
and case of assault and battery. bu
the party was discharged.
