away with $12.S5. which he found In
the drawer of the cash register a
portion of the money was In bags ana
was to be used as change by the
drivers of the carts the Following
day. The remainder was loose In the
drawer The thief evidently was
thoroughly acquainted with the In
side of the bakery for he entered by
one of the windows In the rear or
the basement and went directly to the
cash drawer. taking the money ana
then leaving the place without dis
turbing anything else.
When Mr.. Wright discovered his
loss Saturday morning he feared for
a moment that his safe also had
been robbed. but investigation showed
that nothing except the cash register
was molested. The matter was re-
ported to Sheriff +. W. Mcclure. who
now has the case in charge. There Is
no doubt that the thief used the rear
window as means of entrance ana
exit for footprints were plainly Wis
ible in the soft ground of the railroad

Cologne, Sept. 1.-THE Cologne Gazette" IN
an inspired dispatch from Berlin. denies
port sent to one of the Berlin newspapers from
New-York asserting that President Roosevelt
had written to Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the
German Ambassador at Washington. informing
him that the concessions offered to the United
States by Germany were insufficient to induce

states would be giving more than it would re-
ceive The paper denies that any such letter

tons Data regarding the wishes Of interested
persons are being collected, and commissioners
from several of the Imperial P-ussian Ministries

+horitfes will then decide what position they will

In view of the extraordinary Importance whlch
C1eru1an-Amerfcan trade relations have for the
business of two nations living friendly foot
inc with each other, one may reckon with con-
f6ence upon success in the making of treaty
which viii form the basis of amicabe trade re
