"Yes," replied the Secretary. The Bu- reau of Labor has investigated that sub ject and it finds that the average cost of living of 1902 over that of 1890, the country over. had increased S.S per cent. The investigation was based on the in- crease in the retail prices of food on an estimated amount used by each fam ilv."
 "Can you give the cost in different parts of the country?'
 "Yes." said the Secretary of Commerce and Labor as he picked up report and went over the figures. ''The average cost of food per family estimated by averag- ing 2,567 families in different parts of the United States was $S44.61 each. In the North Atlantic States the average in round numbers Was $360 per family and in the South Atlantic States $S12 per fam fly. In the Western States it was $S22 in the South Central States $31o.

 "Yes." replied Secretary Cortelyou. T think there is no doubt but that the work of the bureau of corporations will have a steadying influence on financial condi- tions.

The case of State VS.. George John
son, charged by Chas. Switzer, o
Harrison township, with chicken steal
ing -yas brought up before Justic
Prichett Friday afternoon. Sever1r
witnesses were examined and the de-
fendant was held to the grand jury.
Bond was fixed at 10000 and in de-
fault of same the defendant was re-
committed to jail. This case will be
watched with considerable interest,
as it is the first to be brought in the
county since the old misdemeanor of
chicken stealing was made felony,
punishable by a two-year term in the
penitentiary. The change of the law
went into effect July 4. The felony
is designated as the larceny of chick
ems from an enclosure in the night
time. The defendant in this case, It
is charged, has done all this. 1t
looks like test case or the new law.
The man was seen coming out of the
hen house by the owner Cnas. Swift
ger. The thief got to his buggy and
was off down the road before Switzer
could do anything. The rural tele'
phone was soon brought into use, how.
ever, and the man was corraled. He
had thrown the chickens away when
caught, but Switzer identified him as
the man seen by him, and when
caught there was ample evidence to
show that he had had chicken coops
about him..
Mrs. Nellie Johnson, wife Of the
above defendant, filed an information
in Prichett's court against Bert Pick
ett, charging him with larceny, the
taking of an umbrella from the Rock
Island station. The case was heard
today by Justice Prichett.
The case of the men, George Prem
tiss and James Corey, who were ar
rested by Constable Andrews, charg
ed with street gambling and brought
into Justice Prichett's court, took 6
change of venue to Justice Kendig
The evidence against the two mer
was considered sufficient to holt
them to the grand jury. The bono
for appearance was placed at 5000
which was furnished and the men re
leased.
The crowds of people in attendance
