Porch Climber Enters the Resi-
dence of WV. Strong and
Steals Valuable JeWeIry.
HOUSE OCCUPIED AT TIME
Mrs. Strong and Miss Blish Were in the
Lower Part of the House But
Failed to Hear the Burg
lars in Room Above.

1t is learned today that one of the
most unusual burglaries ever COM
m1tted in Kenosha was committed at
the home of Col. w. w. Strong on
last Saturday evening. The burglars
who were evidently experts in their
line managed to secure iewelry and
cash to the amount of several hundred
dollars. The police have had the
matter in charge for the past four days
but it seems that the men have made
good their escape as no trace of them
can be found and thus far no clue to
their identity has been discovered.
The man or men used the porch as
! a means of entrance to the house and
the crime was committed while sew
eral of the members of the household
were sitting in the lower rooms of the
house. Col. Strong had gone to the
Masonic home to attend the dedica-
ton services and his wife and his
sister Miss Mary Blish had remained
at home. The two ladies were sitting
in one of the lower rooms of the house
at the time the robbery occurred.
It is certain that the men secured a
ladder and placing it against the roof
of a porch in the front of the house
they made their way to the room oc-
cupied by Miss B1ish. Opening a
window by means of a jimmy they
entered the house and looted the one
room. The jewe1ry and money of
Miss B1ish was in the drawers of a
dresser in the house. While the
men must have known that there
were people III the house they seem to
have worked with great deliberation.
The jewe1ry which was secured as
booty had been in small boxes in the
drawers of the dresser and the burg
lars carefully took each piece of the
jewelry from the box and then care
fully closing the box it was restored
to it's place in the drawer again. One
entering the room after the burglary
would not have suspected that crime
had been committed.
The robbery was discovered late
Saturday night and the police we're
notified as soon as possible of the
crime.
Chief Reinold and his men have
since made every possible effort to
get some trace of the jewelry and the
guilty parties. A list of the stolen
goods has been sent to the police of
all the leading cities in the neighbor-
hood and it is possible that some of
the jewe1ry may be recovered.
The loot consisted of twenty-six
dollars in money besides the various
pieces Of jewe1ry all of which are
valuable. It is hardly thought pos
sib1e that the burglary was the work
of local talent as it was so carefully
planned and executed that it is con-
sidered the work of an expert in the
business. It has been several years
since Kenosha has been visited by
porch climbers but it appears that
some of the old gang are around again
The robbery was kept secret for
several days in order to give the
police every possible chance to locate
the guilty parties and if possible re-
cover the property.

WON'T TAKE HATTIE MILLER
E1gin Authorities so Notify the State
Board Of Control.

It now looks as if Kenosha county
would be forced to pay for the treat
ment of Hattie Miller, resident of
Lake county, ILL.,, who was sent from
this county to the State hospital for
the insane at Oshkosh.
County Judge S1osson received a
letter from the State Board of Control
this morning, in which it was stated
that the authorities in the E1gin in
stitution had absolutely refused to
accept the woman and that she had
been returned to Oshkosh and was
being held at the Wisconsin institu-
ton as patient from Kenosha
county. It is possible that this county
will be forced to sue Lake county to
collect for the care of the woman.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
gTRONG ADVANCE IN PRICES DURING
 THE DAYS SESSION.
At the C1cse values Show Gains of 25 to 50 Points-Spot Holders Firm and
 Good Demand from For efgn spinners.

New York, Jan. e.-There was some little excitement in the cotton market accom- pRhfed by fairly active trading and a strong Advance in prices.
 4 The opening was firm at advance of 40s points in spite of rather disappointing Liverpool cables. Considering the firmness here late yesterday and the late advance in New Orleans. Liverpool was expected to re- port 6 considerable gain. First prices there Were points higher but most of the ad- vAnce was lost before the hour of the local o0ening.
 There was good demand locally, however bescd on the continued small receipts and reports of firm spot holders and before the ugyfng movement abated, prices had been forced up to a net advance of about 25 points the active months. This meant nn advance of nearly 35 points from the low point of yesterday and there was con- siderable realizing. Operators with conti- mental connections were big buyers how. ever. and after a reaction of about 10 points the market again firmed up and y4s finally very steady at q net advance of 1SG30 points, or practically the high point of the day. Sales of futures were esti- suAted at about s5o.00o bales. After the regular close New Orleans wires reported weakness in that market and on the curb here some sales were reported privately at q decline of about Il points From the final figures.

HAYWARD, WICK & CLARK's COTTON
 LETTER.

(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin & Faunce
 Managers; Phone 73S.)
 New Orleans, Jan. s.-The cotton market was dull today and the volume of trade was limited. but for the greater part of the time 1t had firm undertone. This firm. ness was based upon a good spot demand and continued holding back by the farmers.
 The average operator now finds his mar ket sympathies being attracted in two oppo- The bears claim that it is a question of only a few days before January engagements will be filled and when the exporters may again look with indifference upon the holding or cotton in the interior. They also point out that the series of flurries which have been the features of the market recently was not due to new business. but was due to the filling of old orders.
 On the other hand the bulls point to the determined attitude of the farmer and his seemingly unohangeable decision not to mar ket his cotton except at his own price. They claim that the farmer is financially strong enough to hold his cotton indefinitely. Much is made of the point that the time Is fast approaching when the seed for the new crop without saying that at present prices the acreage will be greatly reduced
 It would almost seem that 1t would be 8 good thing for the bulls themselves to make an attempt to hold prices down in order to influence the acreage for coming season Visitors at the Exchange today from south ern Mississippi said that in many sections oats were being planted on cotton lands.
 Some time ago reliable information was received from north Texas stating that much cotton land was being put into wheat. Re- duced acreage will boost prices and it looks as if the boil weevil is standing by to put the finishing touches on any boosting opera tions in the way of another bumper crop in Texas.
 Liverpool should have shown an advance of points this morning. From the open ing the market was dull and offerings were limited Nervous shorts became somewhat frightened at the reports of strong spot demand and started to cover. It did not re- quire much buying to put the active months up 15 to 20 points.
 At the top, however scalping shorts took profits and the market reacted 10 points. Towards 1 o'clock the market was again we'll up toward the highest levels of the day.
 The good demand for spots of yesterday continued today. The grades above mid ding were in strong demand Lower grades sales amounted to about 1000 bales at prices h higher than yesterday.

 LOVENIAN & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.
 New Orleans. Jan. 6.--Market continues active and higher on a continuance of de- mand for spot cotton which set in early part of the week. March advancing from 6.79 at the opening to 7.os. finally closing at 6.e446.95. Trading during the first hour of the session was extremely heavy, the small difference between Liverpool and American markets enticing straddling of the markets which was a special feature of the mornings operations The tenaclty with which the South Is holding on to the un- marketed portion of the crop is forcing con- sumers of the staple to enter into competi- tion with one another for what little that may be had at current prices One would suppose that this reaction of about 50 points from the lowest level reached would induce the interior to sell freely but such is not the case; our wire advices from every sec ton of the belt denote that the country is as firm as ever in its intentions to make the spinner pay hlghe- figure for their fu- ture requirements. There has been good business of late. however. and as heavy rains occurred during the week in the Missis sippi valley and the western portion of the cotton region, making the tributaries nav igabie. receipts will probably assume larger proportions after this week. Movement of the past week very small that were it not for the including of a monthly plus correction of 2e 900 bales, the weeks In- sight would only have been 25s.000 instead of 2s2, 900, which compared with 323.2s7 for the corresponding week of year ago. the movement to date figuring S,210, 900, against 7.1S6,O0o After this week of last year there wac perpendicular falling off in receipts until spring, when shrinkage be- came all the nor pronounced. a famine having been experienced until stocks were replenished with arrivals of new cotton. This year. as has been proved. the crop is colos- sal. and if the crop Is marketed there will be about twice as many bales marketed dur ing the balance of the season than last year. notwithstanding our having received l.024,- 900 more than one year ago already Under the circumstances there can be no hope for "a hlan mavamept or for material advance

G. E. FIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay)
 New Orleans, Jan. 6--The opening of the market in Liverpool was all that could be expected, but the early advance was com pletely lost shortly before the hour of our opening. The selling was said to be specu- lative and the market more active. Later enormous buying orders from America caused an advance of II English points. the market finally closing that much higher for the day Spots, on sales of 5000 bales, were quoted points down. Cloths in Man. chester were in favor of buyers, yarns dull and easier. Initial trades in our market were made al the lowest of the day. Buy ing orders from shorts with moderate bull support caused a sharp advance. Moderate reactions resulted from realizing the ad- vance, but the periods of depression were of short duration and throughout the day steady undertone was observed.
 The weekly movement into sight is much smaller than last week and considerably less than for the same period in the three pre- ceedng years. This evidence of the country 8 tenacity served to slightly stimulate bullish sentiment, but it remains to be seen whether the advance of 60 to 70 points, which the market has recently experienced. will not tend to make subsequent similar statements more nearly conform to the proportions Of the crop. by inducing the weaker holders to self their cotton.
 Prices are as much influenced new by the spot situation they were in the summer months by the weather reports. We antici- pate. however, that the present condition will be less lasting and when immediate spot requirements are satisfied lower prices will ensue.

 Futures opened from { to ' points down but improving conditions in Liverpool aud New York soon started upward move- ment which was partly maintained to the end of the session. Light port receipts and favorable weekend figures also had some effect in sustaining prices. In the trading January opened at 6.70, advanced to 6. 96 and finally declined to 6 .86, showing a loss of 10 points from the highest figures of the day. The market closed steady with net gains of 6 to Ii pointa.

to take place, on such markets as we are having now it will probably prove good judgment to take advantage of same by disposing of a portion of what remains or, hand. There Is q stock of 100000 bales at 30 inland towns. about 1,ooo,o at the ports and about 4.5o0,000 in the uncounted towns; a total of about 6.2o0.000 from which the spinner expects to draw In a hand-to-mouth fashion. The local spot market closed steady, Hc higher: sales, 5000; to arrive, 1.o5o: middling, 7c.
 Director North wired Secretary Hester that 1t will be impossible to fix date for issuing the first instaliment of next gin ners' report on cotton ginned to Jan. Is, but will advise when date Is set, when county returns begin to arrive.
