THIEVES
Entered the Methodist Church
and Stole the Money Raised
for Missionary Purposes.

8 There were some nimble fingered
thieves around last night. They laid
siege to the doors and windows of the
studies of the various churches of the
city. They must have had an inti-
nation that these places were the re-
ceptacles of large amounts of monies.
which almost any person knows they
are not-hence the conclusion that
these thefts, they can hardly be char
acterized nv the name of burglaries.
yet they were, were committed by
young boys.
The only place that ANYTHING of con-
siderable value was taken was the
study of the Methodist church where
they secured SAT. 30 in money that had
be IN collected in the church for spec
ial purposes. Eleven dollars of this
money was for benevolences and the
balance belonged to the various out
side funds Rev. Sanderson wa; the
custodian of this money and left it in
his study in a private box. never think
ing that burglars would come there to
hunt money.
The thieves left a small candle at
the study of the Methodist church.
which it was afterward discovered be-
longed to the study of the PRESBYTERIAN
church. which had also been broken
into. Several other churches report
their studies having been broken INTO
last night.
City Marshal Allison was started
early ON the trail of the thieves but
no arrests have been made up to this
afternoon.
The loss will uot have to be
borne by Rev. Sanderson, even though
he was the custodian of the money of
the church.

MISS IT.
The Parade of The Elks Will
Be Hummer-The Nights
Entertainment Big Success.

The Elks minstrels. to use a home
ly expression. is the absorbing topic
of conversation" on the streets and
elsewhere wherever men congregate.
Nor is the discussion of the min
strels confined to the streets or to the
men. the ladies are Just as interested
as the men are and it is the topic at
the table. in the parlor. and among
the younger folks
"How will they look :" ''What will
they wear for suits?'' are questions
being asked and discussed. The on
ly way to find out will be for the en-
tire community to turn out enmasse
to the grand entertainment.
The parade will occur tomorrow at
the noon hour. Dinner and lunch
will be a secondary affair, beside the
desire to see the Elks in procession.
OF course the parade will in no way
compare with the performance. but
there will be something to see. You
will recognize your friends in the pa
rade. but it will be question wheth
er you will be able to do so in the eu-
tertaniment when they appaer in
burnt cork.
The managers of the entire affair
have had only one desire and that is
to give those who patronize the affair
the worth of their money.
So far the tickets for the show are
going rapidly. There are plenty of
good seats left and no one should stop
because the house may be little
crowded. it will be an incentive for
better entertainment and will nerve
the performers in the cast to do their
level best.
