BURGLAR IN NORTH END.
Robs Home of ]. W. Brewer and At.
tempt to Enter Woolery's
House.

Saturday night between l and .
O'Clock, a thief entered the home Of
John Brewer, on North Jefferson
street, and stole a watch and severaI
dollars. He gained admittance
through the pantry window and going
into the room where Mr.. and Mrs
Brewer were sleeping, took Mr.
Brewers clothes from the foot Of the
bed, securing about 2 dollars. A lamr
burning low was in the room but did
not seem to intimidate the thief. He
then entered the hired mans room
and took his pants from under bis
head, securing several dollars and a
watch. The pants we're found later
three blocks south In Mr.. Luckie's
yard.
In leaving the room the robber
aroused the hired man who at first
thought be heard a noise, but on
discovering bis pants were gone he
aroused the house.
The police were notified and Mr..
Brewer called up MI. Woolery to warn
him that thieves were In the neigh
borhood. Mr.. Woolery answered the
phone and found a window open and
this morning saw tracks leading from
Brewers to the window of his home.
He thinks the bell of the telephone
frightened the robber Off.
There is no clew to the identity of
the man.

Farmers are turning over the soil
with all possible speed, and they tell
us the ground never worked better.
VIZ have ample opportunity to see
what is being done, as we are on the
road about all the time, and we say
there will be the largest acreage Of
oats sown sthis spring that was ever
known in this country, not only in
Audrain, but In the surrounding
counties, and the farmers generally
are taking pains to do their work
well.
On a recent trip to Monroe county
we enjoyed the hospitality Of u es-
OCSluSu lAiChui " W ledeouaiSt dAu

JOY a dinner prepared by Mrs. @. G.
Ragsdale, they will never say it again.
Mr.. Ragsdale is feeding 80 head Of the
best cattle we have seen in two years.

TALLY Ill and unable to write legibly,
but we herewith present an effort up
on the "Price Of Putty" a national is
sue. The earth, a solid substance
much desired by the sea-sick, is fast
becoming to ADVANTAGEOUS for the
writer. The prevalence Of Holsters is
unduly exciting the gray matter under
his hat and therefore we wish to spout
a little thereon. The edible lobster is
found on the New England coast, but
the two legged species are found every
where. All kinds are green but when
roasted turn a bright red. Soubrettes
are very dependent on both varieties
for a living. They furnish her with
food, raiment, diamonds and some
times indigestion. The logical lob
ster has thoughts concerning the
whyfore and whenceness OF what, that
make you say, "sit on my knee, lad,
and l will let you see the works in my
watch" Their standing in the in
t~ellectual market is nil. A case Of
non compos mentis we believe it is
called. In closing we would state
that If their brains were phosphorus
they wouldn't have enough to head
an eight day match.
The Zulu Club is reorganized and
will soon outshine Allan Pinkerton's
detective agency. The recent work
Of one Of the village vldoqs Is as crude
as the bark of an old oak tree. They
will be engaged to ferret out the mys-
terry OF the Springs or who was the
man with the heavy chest and the
wrinkle In his stomach.
