BURGLAR ALARM THAT WORKED
Frank NewIand's Store Entered Blu
Family Is Aroused.

What is supposed to have been an
attempt to burglarize Frank New
lands grocery store, at the corner of
Sixth avenue and Lake street, occur
red last night after the family had
retired.
Mr.. Newland lives above the store,
and the front door of the grocery is
connected with a bell in the residence
by an electric contact. which rings
when the door is opened. Mr.. New
land was not at home when the sharp
ring of the alarm bell notified the
family that the door was being open
ed, so a boy employed at the store
fired a revolver to call the policeman
on that beat. When an investigation
was made the door was found stand
ing open, and had evidently been I'M
locked, as the lock was not broken.
Nothing is missing from the store, and
the thief was probably frightened
away by the ringing of the bell and
the revolver shots before he had time
to take anything.

FAIRBANKS MOTHER
Thinks the Senator Preferred to Re
main in Congress.

Springfield. O., June 24.-The
mother of Senator Fairbanks, Mrs
Adelaide Fairbanks, lives in this city
with her daughter, Mrs. NJ. L. Mil
ligan. She is "A years old. She is of
the opinion that her son would have
preferred to remain a senator instead
of becoming the nominee for vice
president.
Il was in Washington last winter
at his home" she said, 'tand many
men came to see him in regard to his
being a candidate for vice president.
1 am, of course, very proud that he
should have been nominated, and par
ticularly since there was such a strong
demand for him that he could hardly
do otherwise than accept. I think
the position he now has is one of the
most honorable that man can have
in politics. There is a great, deal of
influence and dignity about the sen
ate and a great many opportunities to
do good"
Mrs. Fairbanks received an affec-
tionate message from her son in less
than an hour after the convention ad-
jOurned. Senator Fairbanks has ex-
tensive manufacturing interests in this
city and owns much real estate here.
The senator visited his mother here
about two weeks ago.

TRACED THE DYNAMITE.
With Which the Northern Pacific
Express Car Was Blown Up.

PhiIlipsburg. Mont. June 24.-North-
ern Pacific detectives have traced the
dynamite with which the express car
was blown open by train robbers at
Bearmoutn two weeks ago to the store
of the Wilson Commercial company of
PhiIlipsburg. The proprietor says he
had sold no explosives to strangers in
the past six months. The detectives
therefore believe the robbery was the
work of ranchers or miners of this
section
