HELENA INFESTED
 WITH BURGLARS.
Five Attempts in One Night to Burglarize Homes of the
 River City.

Helena, Dec. 21. For the past four days there has been a veri- table carnival of crime in this city. Since Saturday ten houses have been entered or an attempt made to enter them by burglars.
 Last night there were five such attempts, though in only two cases was there any money secured.
 Twenty dollars was stolen from Ralph Ryder as he slept last night, the thieves leaving behind his and his wife's gold watches.
 The house of N. s. Bruce was also entered and fifty cents, which he had in his pocket, taken. His gold watch and some jewelry belonging to his wife were un- touched.
 The other attempts were all failures, though considerable skill was shown in every instance in seeking entrance.

MERCHANTS SIGN
 CLOSING AGREEMENT,
Hedging Themselves to Close Their Doors Mondays Follow ing Christmas and New
 Year.

To laboring people the calen- dar seemed a trifie unjust this year in bringing Christmas and new year, two long observed holidays, upon Sunday, and thus apparently robbing them of the delights of a holiday.
 But as the Monday following each of these holidays is to be generally observed in their stead, the merchants and business men of Newport have entered upon the agreement published below. The grocerymen reserve the right to open for a few hours in the morning to supply their trade with the necessaries of life. All the merchants have signed this agreement except w. B. Chastain and J. H. Elfrank, who promise to close those days, and s. c. Parker.
 AGREEMENT SIGNED.
 NEWPORT, Ark, Dec. 21.

SILVER ON THE
BLACKLIST.
No Sense in Dropping The
Word From Names of
Companies.

1t Is fact worthy of special no.
tice that out of the great mum ber of
companies incorporated every year to
engage In mining, not more than a
fraction of per cent of them carry
the word "silver" in their titles.
As late as fifteen years ago 1t was not
an uncommon thing for Incorporation
papers to be filled In the names of
gold and silver" mining companies,
and prior to that time "silver min.
ing" had commanding sound that
1t apparently does not now
possess In the minds Of prom oteis
and investors. The Record has fire.
quently had occasion TO investigate
the value of old mining stock certif.
Gates issued from fifteen to thirty or
forty years ago, and they are in the
majority of cases the shares Of silver
mining companies. Today. on the
other hand, gold and copper claim
the places Of honor In the titles of
mining corporations, silver being
scarcely ever mentioned, even Incl.
dentally.
What means this blacklisting of
the white metalY 1t cannot be ex.
plained wholly on the ground
that silver was made the subject of
one of the bitterest political cam.
paigns ever fought out In the United
States, In 1896 aud later. That, in.
deed, may have been the beginning of
its seeming debasement, but ii would
appear that the present cause Ia of a
different order. Aside from the
matter of habit, which may influ.
ence incorporators to overlook the
use of the word "silver" in company
titles, and the fact that explorations
for silver bearing ores primarily have
given way to gold explorations In
great measure since the great slump
In the price of the white metal. does
1t not seem that the promoters of
mining companies feel that eastern
investors hold lingering prejudice
against the mention of itg II this Is
the case, it Is time both promoters
and investors were getting more
sense. Silver has not gone out of
use, by any means. and IL anyone
thinks, specifically, that the white
metal In itself Is or ever was respon-
Sibie In any way for the diverse
political and economic opinions con-
corning 1t. he should call in mental
specialist.
The fact is, that silver is sought
after now about rs much as ever.
though with less eaRerness, in com.
parison with the eagerness of the
search of gold, owing to the lower
price. 1t would probably surprise
some good eastern investors, who
have never thought much about the
matter, to learn that about seventy
i've per cent of the values from To-
nOpah ores are in silver, yet all the
companies operating in that region
are incorporated as gold mining COM
panies, when they carry the mention
Of auy metal in their titles at all,
but never as silver mining COM
papies. The three or four hundred
millions of dollars worth of bullion
taken from the renowned COmstock
lode Of Nevada during forty years
vas largely silver, with gold as the
bi product. Now silver 10 referred
