In MemOrlam


On Friday May alst one OF the
gloomiest days of the Springtime, all
that was mortal of our friend, Mrs.
Ferd d. Smith, was laid to rest in
Machpelah, there to await the resur-
ectioD morn, when body and soul will
be reunited, to JOIN the ransomed
throng, around the throne CT God, in
the new Heaven. Through weeks and
months Of pain and weariness she
passed, but though we may question
the need OF it, we know that an all
wise and all merciful Father laid
every stroke in love, to purify and
perfect this child to consume the dross
and brighten the gold. In her last
hours, when racked with pain, she
exclaimed "don't shut the door, open
the door add let me go to rest" In
Gods good time, the death angel
opened the door, and her tired spirit
vent to rest.
She will be greatly missed as a
neighbor, for none excelled, and few
equaled her in kindly, generous hos
pitallty The poor will miss her, for
her sympathy was unfaillng, and she
gave With lavish hand to supply their
needs. AS friend she was true, and
loyal at all times, under all eircum-
stances, aye, faithful, even unto death.
AS wife and mother the sad hearts
can best attest what q great void has
been left IN the home, that is so
lonely and desolate since ber presence
has been removed.
True wife, devoled mother, constant
friend; thou hast been more than
merely faithful in the discharge of
duty, and thy memory will hnger in
many homes. And now thou hast
entered into rest, thou hast gained
thy crown; thou has passed from our
mortal sight, but we know that in
Gods appointed time, wa shall meet
thee again beyond the Stars.

Bold Burglary.

Saturday night burglars broke into
the vault and safe at the Western +
Coal Company's ofhce and took all the
money In sight. From all indications
The thieves gained entrance to the
office by the back door, The transom
had been left open and they pulled |
the latch at the top OF the door by |
reaching through this transom.
Evidently they knew the combination
of the outer door of the vault, for it
was open and showed no signs Of
violence, The inner door was very
much battered and bent. The outer
door Of the safe in the vault is never
kept locked and so the robbers had no
dlflculty in opening that.
Where they showed class IS yegg-
men was in their work on the inner safe
door. This was carefully sCaped and
dYnamited, breaking up the lock into
small bits.
The papers in the safe we're strewn
all around and the strong boxes we're
priced open. The total maui amounted
to between $40 and $50, IS of which
was the private money Of Mr.. Petsch
There is no clue to the identity of
Uhe burglars except Jnelr Jools wEich
they left on the vault floor. These
consisted of two chlsels, drill, a
dynamite cap, fuse and some soap.
The chisels and drill are said to be
those which Harry Taubman used in
building the Gypsy. The thieves
broke into the machine shop to get
them.
The robbery was not discovered
until a little after six Sunday evening,
Theodore Bates, clerk of the COM
pany, went to the office after an
umbrella. lie noJlced GnaG tne oacH
door was open and, failing to see any
other employees of the company or
/ the premises, looked at the vault HI
Immediately notified the manager
Louis Petsch.
ltis probatle that the safe breakers
: thought that, as Monday was pay day
, there would be good amount OF casl
! iD the safe. They were disappointed
however, as the company does no
draw the money out OF the bank unit
the morning Of pay day.
: The authorities are at work on the
case. @ y4sI-
