MRS. FLAGLER ROBBED.
Lost Money and Jewels Worth Many
Thousands.

Newport. r. L. Sept. 12.-Word was
received from New York today that
a robbery by which Mrs. H. NJ. Flag

money and Jewels aggregating several
thousand dollars in value, at Newport.
was being investigated by detectives.
The date of the robbery was not given,
but as Mrs Flagler has not been there
since the middle of August it is
thought it might have occurred at
that time. The messages from New
York said that the chattelaine bag
contained $4,000 in cash, a draft for
$4,000 and jewels valued at $1,000.

Republican pluralities in national cleo
tons have ranged all the way from
s,sss to 45,777, and in state elections

of 1900.

Portland. Maine, Sept. 12.-Advices
are to the effect that the heavy vot-

would be a great number of defective

Too near thou art for seeking thee,

From Winters Eternal Goodness:
Within the maddening maze of things.
And tossed by storm and flood,

I long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles long;
But God hath led my dear ones on,
And he can do no wrong.

Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruised reed he will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.

Their fronded palms in air;
1 only know 1 can not drift
Beyond his love and care.

NEW DIPPING
Calculated to Do Away with Old Fash.
Toned Method.

Calculated to DO Away with Old Fash.
Toned Method.
Z. I. Seabury, state veterinarian OF
Wyoming, has invented a stock spray
ing machine that is expected to super
sede the primitive method of vat dip
ping, now used exclusively wherever
it is necessary to dip animals.
The machine directs streams of dip
ping fluid against the animal to be
treated as it passes through a chute,
on either side of which are arranged
a number of nozzles. The force be-
hind the spray is 800 pounds to the
square inch, and it is claimed for
the device that it instantly penetrates
and soaks either wool or hair. Where
as usually three minutes are required
to dip a sheep in the old way, for the
Seabury continuance it is said that it
accomplishes the same result in 30 or
40 seconds, without hardship to the
animal.
The only serious argument against
the machine, and one that will prop.
ably initiate against it's general adop-
tion, is it's cost, the latter being about
$4,000. One advantage it possesses
is it's portability, which makes it pos
sible for several persons to own one
and move it from place to place.

Dog Suddenly Joins Army of Box Car

Dog Suddenly Joins Army OF Box Car
Tourists.
Laurel,@ Jan. lion New Years
day one of Park City's business
lei went to the station, fol-
lowed by his old and trusty
dog. A train was waiting for orders.
1t consisted of flat and box cars. After
transacting his business the gentle
man started for home; missing his
dog he turned and saw him seated
%contentedly on M of the flatcars.
He called and coaXed, but the dog
merely turned his head and refused
to go. The brakeman thought to do
the owner a favor and endeavored to
get the dog to follow his owner, but
failing IN his good intentions he tried
to persuade him with a club. The
Zig was up" and so were the dogs
bristles; a set of fine, but wicked
looking teeth changed "brakey's"
mind.
In the meantime the owner Of the
dog called his wife out and both stood
smiling at the futile efforts and dis
comfiture of the brakeman, thinking
that as soon as the train started the
dog would jump off. But great was
their surprise, for when the train
pulled out for the west Mr.. Dog sat
still, only turning his head once in
a while, taking in the fast fading, but
familiar scenes of his doghood.
The gentleman turned to his wife
and remarked, II think, my dear,
the grub must be getting pretty bad,
eh?"

is PROVING A c
Church Sale On at Donovan.Mccor.
mick Store,

The sale for the benefit of the
churches instituted by the Donovan
Mccormick company began yesterday
and every department is now in charge
of a lady representing one of the
benef1ciaries. Judging from the very
liberal patronage that marked the
opening day the result promises to be
a material addition to the funds of the
different bodies. Today's attendance
was no less encouraging and as Inc
sale may be said to have only fairly
begun, big inroads into the company's
stock will undoubtedly be made be,
fore the week is over.
Special attention is called to the
advertisement of the sale which ap-
pears in this issue of The Gazette.
1t was written by the ladies and is
worthy of close and careful perusal,
for it is not only pleasingly and in
terestingly composed, but also has
some good things to offer in the way
of prices and goods. The offer of the
firm is a liberal one and if the patron
age is In proportion no less than $500
or 5000 will stand to the credit OIL
each church and other bodies sharing
in the profits at the close of the sale.
In view of the special prices made
on many lines no doubt many will
avail themselves of the opportunity
and anticipate their wants to the e
tent of laying in supplies of things
needed hereafter. Even if you do
not go there with the intention OF
purchasing, the ladies invite you just
the same and hope that you will honor
them with a call and let them show
you what they have to offer.
