beautiful, Breezy, Wave
washed Wildwood"

OF late the New Jersey Coast has
been the scene of the unprecedented
developments. but there has heeu no
town thai has made more rapid adj
vancement than Wildwood.
Beautiful residences with all modern
improvements are going up on every
hand yet there are not enough cottages
and hotel accommodations to meet the
eve increasing demand. The promo
tiers have spared neither money nor
time to make the town q model of
cleanliness and beauty. Combined
with these are the beauties of wood
and sea which appeal not only to
every lover of nature but to the seeker
for pleasure, rest or health.
These natural advantages, combined
with the intelligent and progressive
pushing of Improvements bid fair to
make Wildwood the most popular of
all the pleasure resorts on the Atlantic
Coast.
An unprecedented opportunity will
be afforded seekers for summer homes,
business locations and paying invest
ments in the THIRD ANNUAL COM

for it will occur Sunday, July 30. The
medal, which is of solid gold, is in
the form of a neat pin, which may

Russias Talking Campaign Has Very
Little Effect

London, July 18.-Baron Hayashi

the Associated Press that Russia had
appointed good men as peace plenipo.
tent1aries. Nevertheless, even NJ
W1tle and Baron ROsen had not in.
spired Japan with confidence in a
favorable outcome of the negotiations.
We do not know" the minister add.
ed. what powers have been delegated
TO them, and after the events of the
past Is months Japan puts faith only
in accomplished facts. The situation
will be made plain only at the con.
ference. Then we will discover what
powers the Russians plenipotentiaries
possess"
The Associated Press representative
suggested that the general opinion
prevailed that the Japanese terms
would be moderate.
Il cannot see where people get such
an idea," replied the minister, "the
public evidently mistake the Japanese
for angels"
Minister Hayashi intimated that ia.
pan was ready to continue the war
unless suitable terms are offered He
called attention to the fact that prac.
| tically the entire sum realized by the
last two loans was uneXpended; and
he said the capture of the island OF
Sakhalin was not precipitated by the
| approach of the conference, but was
the natural sequence Of the Japanese
campaign. the plans for which had
not been altered since Russia acceded
to a conference. An earlier attack
| on the island was not undertaken
principally because OF the severe win
| ter, and because the summer season
was more preferable for campaign
ing and the establishment of a new
government in the island.

BURGLARY ON
MAIN STREET
STORE OF ALDERMAN HARRY
BROWN VISITED FOR THE
SECOND TIME.

For the second time within the pas:
few weeks, burglars visited the store
of Harry Brown, opposite the Argus
yesterday morning, and all the indica
tions point to the fact that the same
parties who did the first job are re-
sponsible for this latest effort. On
the occasion of the first burglary, the
thieves gained entrance into the store
by prying up a rear window, but since
then, Mr.. Brown has protected that
part of the building with iron bars
The crooks therefore paid their at
tention to the window at the side
of the building, on Main street, and
with small steel bar, tried to raise
the sash. 1t was firmly fastened in
side, however, and, although the bal
was jammed through the bottom o1
the sash for a couple of inches, i,
held.
Smash the Window.
Not to be baffled, however, the
thieves deliberately smashed in the
glass, and one of them crawled into
the store through the hole. AS on the
previous occasion, they wanted only
cash, and to get it, smashed the till
securing about 81 in change.
The work was rather daring, al
the window broken is almost under thu
street light, and anyone within {
block of the place could easily have
seen what was going on. The thieves
however, are in the amateur class, a,
shown by the bungling manner II
which the entire job was done.
It is supposed that the burglary wal
committed at an early hour in tn,
morning, as the window was all righ
for some time after the midnight hour
The officers are at work on the case
eebb's store Visited.
The store of John c. Bebb, on Mail
street, was also visited by the crooks
yesterday morning, but here the burg
lars made a water haul. They gainet
an entrance by prying up rear win
dow and went through the cash draw
er, which contained just four cents
It is possible that the thieves tool
some cigars or other articles from tn,
stock, but Mr.. Bebb has not misset
anything.

tomorrow.
To Hear Protests.
On August 10, the commissioners
will be in session to hear any pro-
tests that property owners may wish
to present as to the valuations made
by the assessor. 1t is likely that the
commissioners will have considerable
business to dispose of in this line, as
that has been the experience in the
past.
Some Changes Made.
The commissioners have not made
many important changes thus far. A
reduction of 25 head OF stock cattle
was made in the assessment of stock
cattle.
Octave Luciers assessment was in.
creased to the extent of 80 head OF
stock cattle.
Nate McCauley was raised 200 head
of stock cattle.
Thomas Cruise was assessed for TO-.
900 head of sheep in addition to those
returned, these constituting the more
important changes made.
