STOLEN MONEY FOUND.

Aug. Laabs, who lives out on the
town line road east of the city, came to
town Friday afternoon and reported 10
the authorities the loss of $500 in gold
coin, reciting the following story:
That morning, on account of rain he
could not work in the field, and so
decided to pick over some potatoes in
his barn, sorting out the ones that
showed signs of deeaying. In this
work he was assisted by his wife and
sOn-there was no one else around the
place They locked up the house prior
TO going to the barn After their work
had been completed they returned To
the house and found one of the windows
raised which at once aroused their suS-
piciOns and they started an investiga-
ton. Going To a bedroom where Mr..
Laabs usually keeps his money, he
found bureau drawer pulled ont and
$500 which he had accumulated from
hard toll, was missing. Nothing else
had been disturbed. He mt once re-
ported his loss to the authorities here.
At first The affair presented myster-
ious Appearance. The house is situated
back in an open field and one approach
ing it in broad daylight for the purpose
OF burglary would stand a very good
who took the money showed an init
mate knowledge of where it was kept
and MI. Laabs is not in the habit of
informing everybody where he keeps
his ''gelt" secreted. The affair looked
puzzling. Then the boy offered some
suggestions. He had suspicion that
it might be hidden near the house and
a search of the grounds surrounding
the dwelling was made Places where
anyone might be able to pick up $500
were pointed out by him, and soon the
search resulted in fin ding the missing
money. But the mystery of how it
migrated from the bureau drawer to
its hiding place is still unsoIved. Mr.
Laabs on Saturday brought his money
into town and deposited it in one of the
banks, and will intrust its safekeeping to
bureau drawers no more.

Harmsworth, the well-known Eng-

the newspaper proprietors there are
going from bad to worse. He says that
in New York the newspaper business IL

one Of the most successful as well as
one of the shrewdest publishers alive.
He began as an office boy in London,
and in an incredibly short time OBJ
tanned the position of : prosperous
publisher. He has made q great deal
of This shrewd and successful
English business man is thoroughly
conyersant with the newspaper condi-
lions in New York, as he has made
sevsrsi visits to America. and ut one
time was thought to be contemplating
the publication of a newspaper in this
country. To enter the New York field
now. he thinks, would be absurd. as
the publishers there are engaged In the
foolish occupation Of selling dollars for
30 cents. He says that the London
publishers may be very slow and cor
s~ervative, but they are shrewd enough
to conduct their business on business
principles. They are in business to
make money, and not to lose it. and
they do not sell newspapers for l cent
that costs them 2 cents to issue.-San
