stealing not only flowers that are In
full bloom but potred plants also.
The parties who will steal flowers
from lawns and gardens In the dead
hour of night, are none too good to
enter residence or place of busi-
ness and commit a much worse dep
relation, had they the nerve and
courage. And If they are per-
mitted to continue In their petty
thievery of flowers and other
articles of a similar value, 1t will not
be many years until they will be-
come more daring In their nefarious
deeds, until they will have the
nerve of a western outlaw. 1t Is
the wish Of the entire community
that at least some of them are caught
at no far distant day and made an ex
ample Of, and one that will be OF
such a nature that 1t will have the
good effect to break up the danger.

Easter flowers growing In her gar.
den when she retired on Saturday
night, but ere morning dawned
they had all disappeared. 1t was
the villianous deed of some sneak

sharp lookout fer this class of petty
thieves, and when once apprehend-
ed. give them the full extent of the
law and a day more. Mrs. Nelson
priced her flowers very highly, and
she Is only one of a number we

The new clerk Is one of the most
popular young men In the city. AS
an accountant he has no superior.
His participation In the expert
auditing of the city's afflirs for the
past three years, just recently COM
pleted,gave him an insight into the
city affairs that will be of especial
value In bis present Office. That he
will serve the people faithfully and
we'll Is conceded on all sides, and
the chances are he will be equally
as popular and as strong in the
public esteem as any of his prede-
cessors.
