Robbed the House.

One day last week man and woman
giving their names as Battey stopped
at the home of William Glaspell, in
Bacon's Neck, to procure work. Mr..
Glaspell gave them employment and
allowed them to sleep in one of the
out buildings. Sunday afternoon Mr..
and Mrs. Glaspell went to Sunday
School and when they came home
found that the Battey's had cut the
wire off one of the screen doors and
secured entrance to the house. They
went upstairs and took pocket book
with $34 in it. Then the pair came
out and got colored man to drive
them to Bridgeton Arriving too late
to take the train they took the six
O'Clock car for Millville. BY this
time Mr.. Glaspell had discovered his
loss and hastened to Bridgeton. He
informed the police of the robbery and
they telephoned to Millville to stop
the pair if they were on the car. 1t
was after seven O'Clock when the Off
GERS here telephoned and by that time
the couple had taken an excursion train
to Philadelphia and escaped into
Pennsylvania.

NEW JERSEY rs
FOR ROOSEVELT.

New York, Aug. 16. Gratifying re-
ports of the progress of the campaign
are being received at national Repub-
lican headquarters. Preliminary can
vases made in several entire counties
of New Jersey and West Virginia, ac-
cording to citizens of these states, in
dicate that New Jersey will give
Roosevelt 26, 600 and that he will
carry West Virginia by 30, 600
Governor Murphy is not going to
take any chances in New Jersey.
There has just been completed in that
State canvass of a purely agricul-
tural county. The canvass was made
from house to house by merchant
whose BUSINESS took him all over the
county He reported to Governor
Murphy that he did not find Repub-
lican who would vote the Democratic
ticket this Fall, nor did he discover
any appreciable number of Democrats
who will vote for Roosevelt. The
party lines seem to be tightly drawn
in New Jersey, with the advantage in
favor of the President.
Z The first utterance of the Republican
National Executive Committee came
to-day from Senator Nathan B. Scott,
of West Virginia, who, in a statement
claimed his state for President Roose-
velt.
Senator Davis, while a very
worthy gentleman and one of our
highly esteemed citizens, is in no po-
sition, as many think, to hand over
the state of West Virginia to his as
sociate on the ticket and the Demo-
cratic party he said Years ago,
on his first election to the United
States Senate, he was chosen with the
aid Of the Republican members of the
Legislature and he stands indebted to
the Republicans of West Virginia for
that. If you will refer to the vote of
West Virginia in 1884 and previously
you will find that the majority had
been quite largely Democratic. Since
1884 the trend in West Virginia has
been toward increased Republican ma
jorities from year to year. We began
cutting into the Democratic victories
in 1888. The reasons for these in
creased Republican majorities are
plain. Our increase in population
from abroad comes largely from Re-
publican states. Therefore our inter
ests in West Virginia are all with the
Republican principle of protection.
The workingmen of our state all un-
derstand fully it is by this protection
that they are enabled to earn large
wages.

Cranberries Few.

Mount Holly, N. j., August IS
The outlook for a large cranberry yield
this year is most discouraging. While
the conditions vary in different local
tiles, the report is general that the
yield this fall will be so per cent. be-
low that Of last year. From informa-
tion received, the Cape Cod berries
are falling off in the same ratio, which
will force prices to a prohibitive fig
ure.
Four hundred and fifty thousand
bushels of cranberries left this section
last year for all parts of the world,
and the returns were magnificent re-
ward for the growers.
The shrinking of this years crop is
due to weather conditions. The early
spring was cold and retarded the bios
SONS. Then came gales and severe
thunderstorms, accompanied by hail,
which stripped the blossoms and fore
ed the plants into the mud These
conditions have cost growers in the
southern section of this county at least
rs per cent. of their crop, according to
a report made by Captain Martin L.
Haines.
At Hanover, Vincentown, Medford
and Marlton the bogs have been injur-
ed to such an extent as to entail the
loss of thousands of dollars. The days
and nights have both been too cool
for the proper advancement of the
vines, and it will take very hot Aug
ust to ripen the fruit SO that it can be
gathered in time to escape the early
frosts.
The picking season generally begins
the first week in September, but that
work will be somewhat delayed this
year.
It is but a few years since the culti-
vatlon OF cranberries began to assume
such large proportions. The berries
formerly grew wild on the bogs, and
sold for very reasonable prices
They were first cultivated in Burling-
ton county by William r. lBraddock,
OF Medford, about fifty years ago. He
planted a few acres in Shamong town
ship, and the bog is still productive.

The Dog Show.

The dog show in connection with
the County Fair next week at the
Park will be an important feature.
William Fl. McGear is superintendent
of the show and has entry blanks,
which he will be glad to furnish upon
application. The show will be prop
erly conducted, under most liberal
conditions, and there should be many
fine dogs presented for show. The
blanks show the number of classes and
designates them There will be cash
prizes for the winners. Mr.. McGear
would be glad to talk to anyone about
the dog show.

Hair the Town is Scratching.

Woodbury., N. J., Aug. 15.-There
is plague of [fieas in this city and
the average householder is Enearly
frantic. All sorts of preventives'
have been used, with no favorable re-
suits. Some women have been so
badly bitten that the services of a
physician have been necessary.
Sleeping in some homes is out of
the question and verandas and ham
mocks have been resorted to. Half the
town is scratching.

The accompanying cut shows the status of the work on the million dollar state capitol being constructed by the state of Arkansas on the site of the old penitenttary in the western DOT tion of the city of Little Rock This photograph was taken on August 9, and is an excellent reminder to the people of the state that new state house is in course of construction to take the place of the one now in use, which was built seventy years ago
 Probably ninety per cent of the peo- pie of Arkansas have forgotten that work is still in progress on the new state capitol It is only occasionally that some mention is made in the daily press of something connected with the work of construction which brings it to mind Though the capitol site is almost within q stones throw Of the Iron Mountain station, where hun. dreds of people from all parts of the state come and go every day, very small per cent. if any of them, have visited the capitol site Therefore just at this time, when the work is be- ginning to assume the aspect of a building, a reproduction of the pro gres5 made is most timely. This is the first photograph printed in any pa per, in or out of the state, showing the actual conditions as they exist at the site. All previous pictures of the capitol have been made from drawings and show the capitol as it will appear when it is completed. and has been in actual use for a number of years.
 Interest in the new capitol has been revived lately by the announcement by Caldwell X Drake, the contractors that they had been compelled to lay

Crop Summary.

The general summary of Arkansas crop conditions for the week ending August 22 is as follows: The tenn. perature was above the average dur ing the week, while there was very little rain except in portions of the northwest section, where good rains fell on the 17th and 18th. As a result of the continued dry weather crops are suffering for moisture generally. Cot ton made very little progress except in portions of the northeast section, where it is doing very well; over the remainder of the state k is suffering from lack of moisture and shedding is quite extensive and will result i'll a short crop in some localities; boil worms are reported in some isolated sections. but as a rule the crop has received very little injury from in sects. Early corn is made and good yields are assured over most of the state: the late corn is suffering in many localities from lack of moisture and does not promise full crop. Con siderable hay of good quality was se- cured during the week, and progress was made in gathering pea-vine hay and sorghum. Sweet potatoes are gen erally doing well, but would be bene fited by rain. There is considerable complaint of apples and peaches drop ping. owing to dry weather. and the in dications are for only fair crop of apples and fair to good crop of peaches"
