st. Paul, Oct. 1.-Jewelry esti
mated to be worth $4,000 was stolen
from the house of K. N. Saunders
president of the Northwestern Fuel

Sneak thieves secured an entrance
through a basement doorway, gained
the second floor and so quietly con
Quoted their operations that the family
did not know that the house had been

A hasty search of the premises
showed that the rooms on the second
floor had been looted and jewelry and
plate of costly value taken.
The search had evidently been
hasty, as several articles of value had
been overlooked.

DIFFERS FEoM BOXER UPRISING
Present Trouble In China Largely Anti.
Dynastic.

Peking, Oct. 1.-Foreigners lately
have been much preoccupied owing t.
the growing unrest in the southern
part of Chill province and In Shan
tnng and Human provinces. They
were informed at the Offices of the
foreign board that the agitation is
largely revolutionary and anti-dynas-
tic, thus differing from the boxer move
ment of 1900, which was chiefly anti
foreign.
Ministers of the powers here have
approached the foreign board with
the view to inducing the officials TO
take effective measures. The board
replied that strict orders had been
given to Yuan Shi Kai, viceroy of Chilli
and commander-in-chief of the Chinese
forces, to do his utmost to suppress
the revolutionary movement and add
ed that no serious trouble was antici-
pated. The foreign board naturally
minimizes the symptoms. which GER
tainly are widespread, but there seems
ground to believe that the character
Of the movement is different from that
of the boxers of 1900.
New York, Oct Unrest is in
creasing among the natives in South
Chill, North Honas and West Shantung
districts of China, according to Her
aid dispatch from Peking. The new
anti-foreign society, the Taiyuan, is
spreading rapidly even during the
present harvesting OF good crops.

Intelligence of the passing of United
States Senator George Frisbie Hoar,
whose death occurred at 135 a. m.
AT 2:55 o'clock the chimes on Ply
mouth church played Nearer, My God,
to Thee" The tidings communicated
by the tolling bells were heard
throughout the city and within few
minutes numerous inquiries were made
at the newspaper Offices by telephone.
The people of Worcester, to whom
Senator Hoar was endeared in a meas
ure beyond that ever given to any
other man, anxiously followed the
course of his sickness for six weeks
and hundreds of calls on the telephone
had been made daily at the local news
paper offices by persons who desired
to hear the latest news from the bed
side.
The state of profound stupor, which
was an indication of the approach of
DEATH embraced the senator for forty
hours. The patient had expressed the
wish early in his illness that he might
die peacefully and without a struggle.
Such a death came to him.

Mary Hoar, were at the bedside until

Message From the President.
lockwood Hoar has received the
following message from President
Roosevelt:
Accept my most profound SYM
pathy. The loss is not yours only, but
of all those who believe in the lofty
standard of purity, integrity and fear
lessness in public life"
1t is understood that the funeral
will be held Monday from the Church
of the Unity and that Rev. Edward
Everett Hale, chaplain of the United
States senate, will be asked to Off
ciate.
Senator Hoar was one of the most
interesting of the public men of his
time. His convictions were pro-
nounced, his tenacity of purpose was
remarkable and his integrity was
never questioned even by his bitterest
opponents. He entered public life
early in the fifties and served the peo-
pie in one capacity or another, with
but few breaks, for full two score
years, and he died poor man as the
world reckons riches. Senator Hoar
was seventy-eight years of age and
represented Massachusetts in the
upper branch Of congress since 1877.

prenare for Turkey RAISING.

If the turkey crop is short, as it
now seems likely, it will be good
thing for those intending to purchase
new stock to secure birds as soon as
possible. AS the birds are sent to
market and the supply thus becomes
smaller, the demand will increase and
the price will rise. The increase of
population and the increasing popu-
larity of the turkey as a table bird
are factors that are continually con-
spring to send up the price Of breed
ing turkeys. If, however, the birds
are purchased at this time the buyer
should make sure that he does not
receive culls. No breeder that has a
proper care for his own reputation
will sell culls for breeders, but there
are some men that will sell for q
breeder any kind of a bird they can
get the money for.

Newest Ideas in Yokes.

Quite the newest thing in yoke is
the square outline, although many pre-
fer to cling to the pointed yoke, find
ing it more becoming. The Jokes are
made of lace or eyelet embroidery
with stock attached. The square yoke
has also made its appearance on the
strictly tailor made suits. Here, how
ever, it is made up of starched chemi-
sette order, with upright collar, such
as used to be worn exclusively with
severe shirtwaists half a dozen years
ago.
At the front of the collar on each
corner are embroidered beautiful mo-
tives, such as flowers, butterflies or a
design in eyelet embroidery. This
gives truly feminine touch on SO
uncompromisingl stiff an affair.
To state what colors are to be worn
Is impossible. There is perfect
craze for vivid shades of yellow and

feed their horses. This is also the
case on Sundays with all drivers OF

A chute, through which the food is

giles to the inner wall thereof, the door
being connected with an arm which
projects through the wall of the chute.
This arm is fastened to a spring held

A bracket supports a clock upon the
