= A BOLD BURGLARY.
The Store OF D. n. Bennett Burg
larized and Loot OF Great
Value Taken.

In Bridport last Thursday night oc-
CURED one of the boldest burglaries
known in this vicinity. The work was
done evidently by crooks of the profes-
sional class. They entered by prying
open the hatchway door, and from the
cellar got up to the first floor here they
ransacked the safe in the vault. The
three strong doors were closed, but were
unlocked. A wallet containing some
small bills and few checks was taken,
and steel document case containing
papers of great value. Outside the safe,
but located in the vault a case contain
ing property of the postoffice was taken.
Mr.. Bennett, knowing that an expert
can get into any ordinary safe, did not
usually lock any of his steel doors, and
simply used them for protection from
fire. The cash register was rihed, three
pairs OF shoes, some pocket-knives and
some canned fruit were taken as well.
The value of the cash and goods amount
ed to less than 800.
The principal loss-and this is a great
one, running into many thousands of
dollars-was the theft of the steel case
containing papers which can be of no
use to the robbers, and the loss to Mr..
Bennett, if they are not returned, will
almost be irreparable. For years he has
for the convenience of many friends kept
valuable papers of all kinds. 1t is be-
lieved that the thieves upon opening
the case and finding nothing of value to
them, may have hidden them in the vi
cinity. The whole community has been
on the lookout ever since, as everybody |
has the greatest sympathy for Mr.. Ben |
nett, who has in the thirty-five years he |
has been in Bridport, been a valuable |
factor in the business life of the place, |
and a substantial friend to ALL
As several boats have been stolen
along the shore of the lake, it is very
likely that this was the means taken |
for the robbers to escape to the New
York shore. The skiff of c. l.. Par
rish was taken, and near the landing
was found knife taken from the stock |
of Mr.. Bennett, with his name on the
blade.
Up to last night, Thursday, no new
developments had arose.

Cole Brothers Circus.

There is no circus complete unless the
clown is one of the conspicuous figures
so numerous are these funny fellows
with the Great Cole Brothers shows that
their department has been christened
''the clowns college of comedy" This
bunch of laugh provokers is headed by
that king of droll mimics, Harry Clark
who for nearly 20 years has done more
to drive away the blues and cause audi
ences to realize that life was worth liv-
ing than any other man who ever donn-
ed paint and polka dot pantaloons.
While the clowns with the sterling ag.
gregation of Cole Brothers are remark
ably funny, they are not at all foolish,
and the pranks they play on each other,
the witty jokes they perpetrate are of
the wholesome, healthy kind and more
spontaneous than studied. One thing
that this show will not tolerate is any.
thing suggestive. Mr.. Downs has said
that a clown who cannot be funny with
out being vulgar should never be allow
ed to enter circus ring. In the crowd
of fun-makers to be seen with this show
are talking and singing clowns, burles-
quers, buffoons, pantaloons and the
agile clowns who perform the most diff
ficult feats in mid air, on the ground
and on horseback. Almost every nation
is represented in their startling tricks
and when the funniest fellow of every
nation is assembled in one school of COM
ical doings, laughter cannot be sup.
pressed.
The Great Cole Brothers Shows will
be at Middlebury on Wednesday, Aug.
ust 10. On this day the performers will
be preceded by a Kaleidoscope street
parade, which will leave the show
grounds promptly at 10 o'clock and pass
over the principal streets.

Mr.. LOUIS MARTIN DEAD

News was received in this city sun
day afternoon that Mr.. Louis Martin.
who was visiting relatives at LUra-
vile, in Suwannee county. was crit
ically i'll. and his demise was expect
ed at any moment. Another telegram
was received yesterday afternoon say
ing that he was dead.
The deceased had been suffering
from tuberculosis for some time. and
had been gradually growing worse.
and the news of his death was not I'M
expected.
He is but another victim of this in
sidious destroyer that has stolen into
so many homes and robbed it OF its
precious jewels in the very vigor and
prime of life.
Mr.. Martin was a young man: he
was but recently married and for
whom the world looked very beautiful
and bright. but the messenger Of this
great white plague knocked at the
portals and all human agencies were
futile 10 beat back the grim visaged
monster, and he slowly stole his life
away.
The deceased was a nephew of Mr..
John r. Martin. and has other rela-
tives in Ocala, and a host of friends.
to whom the news OF his death will
cause a pang of sorrow.

Legislation which prevents mono

Legitimate business from injury.
We are indebted 10 the younger
Rockefeller for an illustration which
makes this distinction clear. In
defending the trust system he is
quoted as saying that as the Ameri-
can beauty rose cannot be brought 70
perfection without pincingof ninety
nine buds, so that the one hundredth
bud can receive the full strength OF
the bush, so great industrial orgsni-
cations are impossible without the
elimination OF the smaller ones. Il
is cruel illustration. but IL pre-
sents a perfectly accurate picture OF
trust methods The democratic
party champions the cause Of the
ninety-nine enterprises which are
menaced; they must not be sacrificed
that one great combination may
flourish, and when the subject is
understood We shall receive the cor
dial support OF hundreds OF thousands
of business men who have them
selves felt the oppression of the
trusts. or who. having observed the
effect of the trusts upon others. real

Republican Value Of Money,

The most unsatisfactory argu.
ment of Republican organs and ora
tors with which they book up their
assertion that Bryan cannot get
votes enough to elect him is based
on the allegation that he cannot raise
the necessary money They do not
appear to care for the implication of
cash control that follows this line of
controversy.
