When Mrs. Mary E. Cox, conducting
a boarding house at No. 10 Colvillc
street, discovered burglar ransack-
ing her cellar late yesterday afternoon
she did not scream and go into hys-
terics, but she rushed into the house,
secured an old revolver and pluckily
held up the fellow until the police
could arrive. The officers found the
man, who gave the name of Tom But
Ter, covering on the front steps with
Mrs. Cox standing guard over him.

SECOND STREET RESIDENTS OBJ
JECT ITO USE OF OLD BALL
PARK AGAIN.
Promoters of Amateur Baseball Asso
citation Compelled to Seek New
Ball Grounds.

Objection to the use Of the old Sec
ond street grounds as a ball park, in
the shape of a threatened injunction
against the promoters of Walla WaIla's
Amateur Baseball association has
somewhat altered the plans of the as
ISOLATION regarding a ball park. Neigh
bors in the vicinity of Second and Oak
streets, adjoining the old ball park,
yesterday raised so much objection to
the grounds being converted into
park again that the promoters rather
than face a lawsuit decided to secure
grounds a block further north near the
Weber tannery.
A site has already been secured and
the work of erecting a fence and
grandstand will be commenced i'm
mediately. I'VE understood that resi-
dents in the neighborhood of the old
park objected to our using the grounds
again and rather than have any trou
BILE we will secure grounds near the
old tannery," said George O'Connor,
one of the promoters of Walla Walla's
baseball team. 1.-The new grounds are
only block further away and it will
not make any material difference

The banks of Clarksburg have all
published financial statements pur-
suant to the call made, and every
one of them shows growth. That
fact is significant. 1t shows that
there is more business in Clarksburg
than ever before and more money as
well. More business and more
money mean larger and buster
city. There is every evidence that
the city's future marks even grci.cr
strides here than ever before along
lines of Advancement. business and
prosperity. There seems to be an
erroneous impression that business
conditions are not so good as they
were a few years ago, but the bank
statements dispute that. The con-
slant activity and steadiness in
business are the keynotes. They
are not so perceptible but when it
comes to summarizing the results,
as can best be done through banks
it becomes apparent and is convinc-
ing that there has been rapid
growth and steady advancement.

The fair is now a matter of his
tory. 1t has been gala week for
Clarksburg and every one has been
busy with business and pleasure, and
now comes the remark that the
place will be dead for week or so,
but such expression no longer APP
plies to Clarksburg. 1t used to be
that big week was followed by
more or less depression, but that
state is past. The fall of the year
has just begun and the factories that
took summer vacations are starting
up with more men employed than
ever before, which means larger pay
rolls and more business. The
schools are beginning and students
have come in from the country.
Country merchants are laying in
their fall and winter supplies. All
these conditions and many others
make better business conditions here
and there is no real excuse for stand
ing around and saying business has
gone to the bad. just join the
other fellows and make business
lively. Go after your share of it.
