BURGLARS COME TO TOWN
WITH DAVENPORT CARNIVAL
Four Jobs Saturday ight-JeweIry
Store Robbed of $500 Worth
of Solid Ware.

The week of the Davenport carnival
and race meet has brought with it in
advance a carnival of burglaries, no
less than four jobs having been pulled
off in that city since Saturday evening.
The most important one was that at
The jeweIry store of Stark and Ruser
where entrance was effected through
the Brandt photograph gallery and the
thieves let themselves down into the
store with a rope ladder. They did
not get into the safe where the dia-
monds were kept but got away with
about $1,000 worth of solid silver and
gold jewelry. a. -
A safe was blown open at the gro
Gerry store of Coos brothers but there
was nothing in it but the firms books
Al the grocery of MOeller brothers the
robbers broke open the cash register
and secured so in change. At the
store of Emil Moeller they took 80
cents from a desk.

HAS BEST THAT'S GOING
illinois State Fair Promises to Guido
Last Years Record.

The Illinois state fair Will be held
in Springfield Sept. % TO Oct. :. and
there is Indication that the exhibition
will be fully equal or better than it's
predecessor.
When the regular exhibitors were
asked this year whether they desired
the space they occupied at the last
fair, all save one responded in the
affirmative. and there were already
on file 20 applicants for the position
occupied by that firm. Indeed, the de
mand for space is unprecedented in
the history of the fair, and the board
Of agriculture. despite the additional
provisions made for exhibitors, Will be
cramped for space
Aside from the exposition features
the board has been most fortunate in
securing attractions for the live stock
show and the speed ring. The mere
announcement that the famous Dan
Patch is to appear is sufficient to
arouse the Iivelicst enthusiasm among
lovers of horse flesh who are patrons
of the exposition, but when it is
known that the peerless Lou Dillon is
also under contract, all eyes VIII in
Stincuvcly turn 10 the race meet Of
the Illinois exposition.
From all sources the indications are
that the state fair this year will far
outclass any previous ones and the
attractions viii be much better than
ever before. The fair proper viii be
enlarged and there Will be space for
more than the usual number of pa
irons.
In connection with the fair the mer-
chants Of Springfield are planning an
elaborate program Of street entertain
ments TO be given on tho down town
streets in the evening, something on
the street fair order.

them no license TO Jail him. He said
he would have revenge, and the one

MANILA UPHELD BY AMERICA.
Unique and Honorable Distinction of Gail

spOndingly light, Mr.. Hunt can turn his
attention TO the march Of progress and

historian he is perforce n specialist. in

ties. When Porto Rico was annexed

when the Philippines became ours by
treaty It is entirely possible that he
saw outlines Of strange shields beneath

were still filled with General Lawton's
campaign against the Moros
Designer of Many Seals.
Mr.. Hunt had meanwhile had some
experience in designing cCats-of-arms.
In fact, there has been more designing
Of that nature in the past six years
than IN the ffty-six years before. Porto
Rico has become part Of the United
States and has been given a seal. The
Department Of Commerce and Labor
has been created. and it also has been
given a seal Both designs give a fine
idea Of Mr. Hunts methods.

a Ship and an Anvil
The making Of a seal. for the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor, according
10 these requirements, was a simple
matter. It was easy to symbolic com
merce with a full-riRged vessel. and
labor by a hammer and an anvil
Some one suggested 10 Mr. Hunt that
sailing vessels were gradually retreat
ing from the seas, and that a brand
new, twentieth century department
should have a full-powered steam vessel
as fits emblem. This advice Mr.. Hunt
squarely rejected and for good rea sons.
The sail, he says. IS the enduring
symbol Of commerce; II was in use long
before our day. and will last. prcsum-
ably. after the Panama canal has be-
come a commonplace OF the school geog-
raphics. Other methods Of transpOrta-
ton, such as the whaleback Of the Great
Lake, which had such a vogue a few
years ago, are by comparison with the
sail the creations Of day. As a last
reason. he argued that full-rigged sail
ing vessel is one Of the most beautiful
sights on the ocean.
