ROBBERY IN SEYMOUR.
Gold and JeweIry Stolen from Aged
 Couple.


 The house on Pine street. Seymour, occupied by John Miller and his wife, an aged couple, reputed to be quite wealthy, was entered by burglars some time Monday. The thieves had evident ly knowledge thar the couple had mon- ey in the house, for they went to the bureau in Q sitting room where the money and valuables were and took $500 in gold. $2925O in paper money, four watches, one of them a gold one, and about $100 worth of other jewelry. There was nothing but the bureau disturbed MT. Miller, who sleeps in an adjoining room, Is very deaf and heard no one. His wife heard something and called out but supposed it was a man named Jacob Sunheim, who, with his wife, lives with the couple. Mrs Sun helm heard nothing. The robbery was discovered when her husband returned home from German lodge meeting at midnight.
 The alarm was given and Constable Adams notified the police of surround Ing towns and cities. A man was seen taking trolley car about ii o'clock with a bundle, who was a stranger, but he was not molested and is now believ. ed to have been the burglar or one of them.
 The buglars entered by breaking oper a rear window and it is thought they had been watching the house for some time and selected a time for the rob. bery when they knew MT. Sunheim was away.

Opportunities in Journalism.

In discussing the professions seere-
 tary Taft took occasion to make a plea
 for the entry of the college man into
 journalism: The increase in the intel
 ligence and discrimination of the neo-
 pie" he said, "has in one way very
 largely modified the power of the press. Editorial writers have by no
 means such influence as they had in
 days gone by The newspapers are talk
 en more for the news than for advice
 as to the lessons which should be
 drawn from it People make more al-
 lowance now for the bias of a paper
 than they ever did before. The reputa- ton of a paper for accuracy and yer acity is generally as well known as the reputation of a member of the com munity. It is impossible to suppose that the amount of matter in the mod ern newspaper furnished for one, two,
 three or five cents is likely to increase in the future. The business of furnish | mig news to people Is a business like the business of furnishing entertain ment from the stage, and an outsider
 Is unable to understand the currents
 of the mind of the reading public ex-
 cept as he may study the columns, the l subjects and the methods of treating them that he finds in the modern suc-
 cessful newspaper Very few newspa-
 per proprietors have such a patronage
 as to enable them to make their news paper that which they think g news

paper ought to be; and while the edi- tor occupies the position of an instruc- tor of public taste, and ought to ex- ercise the function as such with more constancy and courage than he usual ly does, the limitations that there are upon him by reason of the public de- mand those of us who would criticise the press know little of.
 Certainly journalism is profession in which men of discriminating intel ligence, of high courage, of accurate judgment, of a love of truth and real patriotism, can find a sphere of useful ness. not excelled in any other; and if the standards of truth, of taste, of re-
 inement and of moral tone set by some of the most successful of the newspa- pers shall not improve in the next gen. eration it will vindicate pessimists of to-day. In the change which has taken place in the influence of the editorial writer and the increased importance in the statement of news, the influence of tn college-bred journalist must contin- ue to be of the greatest weight. It needs a trained mind, judicial tenl- perament, quick perceptions and a high standard of integrity and self-respect, , together with a nice and graphic liter ary touch, to make the leading special correspondence of the paper, which is in many respects one of its most influ- ential parts, what 1t should. It is a field well worth the ambition of any man to succeed in. It has many temp tations. It has rewards which may be permanent and solid or, as the corre- pendent yields to the temptations, may be meretricious and temporary"

mentioned as one of the most sue

has sold about IS, 900 worth of

Wheat is pouring in at the
rate Of 25,O or 10000 bushels
per day and several of the ware
houses are almost blocked on ac-
count of the car shortage, which
promises to continue for some
time to come. 1t was expected
that the reciprocal demurrage
law passed by the last legisla-
ture would overcome the difficult
ty experienced last year by the
grain men in getting the wheat
to tide water, but such is not the
case and the warehousemen will
probably lose a large share of
the profits of a good seasons
business from the same cause.

An Attempted Hold-up

Last Sunday evening as Mrs. Minnie
Campbell, of Spangle, and Miss Lottie
Hoxsey both daughters of R. A, Hox-
sey of this city, were returning home
from the carnival they were attacked
within block of their home by mis-.
creant who slipped up behind them and
seized Mrs. Campbell, jerking her
backward and frightening both of the
ladies nearly out of their wits. Miss
Hoxsey, although frightened, seized
the william by the collar and called lust
lily for help. Seeing the game was up
and that he would soon be captured if
he persisted, the fiend tore loose from
Miss Hoxsey's grasp and fled before
help arrived. The attack was made
within few feet of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Jell on &c" street and almost
under the arc-light at the corner of &c"
and fourth streets. The ladies' owing
to their fright are unable to give very
accurate description of their assailant
and as yet no arrests have been made.
If such a fiend as this ever comes be-
fore Judge Zent it is a pretty safe
guess what he would do to him.
