the committee which will have charge
Of their campaign to gain control Of
Mercy hospital in this city. The COM
mittee Is composed of the following
named gentlemen:
John ID. Porter.

BY request Of t,e members Of the
committee, however it Is very likely
that at the next meeting of the lodge
the membership of the committee will
be increased to five instead Of three.
The work laid out for this committee
is something of an arduous task and
1t is the desire OF the lodge that the
members have all the aid in their work
that the lodge can give them. The
committee has already set about Its
work. 1t will have charge Of all the
correspondence between the local camp
OF Woodmen and the head camp and
will make reports to the lodge concern
ing the progress made as often as is
necessary.
1t will be the duty Of the committee
to gain the consent Of the head camp

course, there are other societies who
want it and who have just as good

Alden, Dec. IA bold attempt was
made to burglarize the store OF Mr..
Clark Friday evening at o'clock.
Mr.. Clark locked his door and went
to the hotel, which Is less than half q
block from the store, for supper. A
merchant on the opposite side Of the
street wanted to see Mr.. Clark and
went over to his store but on acciring
at the door found it locked. He return
ed to his place Of business but stayed
on the outside. Presently he saw a
man come from the bank corner and
walk UP as far as the hotel. Then he
walked down to the store door, UNI
locked It and went in. He first went to
the west window but only stayed a
short time, and went to the east win
dow and commenced looking at the
caps. Just then the watching merchant
started across the street, but when he
got part way over, the man came out,
locked the door and went d1agonally
across the street to the bank build
ing. Mr.. Clark knew nothing OF the oc-
currence and said he had not given his
key to anyone since he got possession
of the store. When Mr.. Clark inspect-
ed his window he discovered that he
was shy several caps. Had the fellow
tapped the till he would have got about
500. The door is provided with Yale
lock, and from the way he went at 1t
evidently it was not his first visit. The
party who saw the man says he can
identify him.
