ney of New Castle, Pa, now visiting

and money valued at more than ST..
600 in Il cab early Wednesday morn.
ing. after being drugged. The rob-
berry was reported 10 the police at
once, but was not given publicity un
I'll Thursday. when Mehard decided
10 apply for warrants for the persons
suspected.
While seeing the town, Tuesday az
ternoon, Mr.. Mehard fell In with a
party of two men and two women and
they engaged a hack. From D. III.
until o'clock Wednesday morning
they toured the city, making numer-
Gus stops and having jolly good
time generally. Mehard says he rnal-
ly lost consciousness, and when he
came TO himself In a Brush-st. house
he discovered that a three and one
half carnt diamond. worth about $780,
had peen removed from a ring on his
fnget Another diamond, worth up
wards OF $3.50. had disappeared from
his watch charm. A $40 diamond stick
pin and 500 In money were also miss
ing. His companions OF the evening
like his valuables. haG vanished.
Mehard lost no time in notifying the
police and detectives have been hard
al work on the case ever since. The
fact that the stones were removed
from their settings renders it difficult
TO trace them.
On Mehard's complaint. Justice JEFF

rants for Charles Helmora. John
Doe" Mary Doe" and Mary Roe"
charging grand larceny. Helmora IS
known 10 the police. He was arrest

ton OF having a session of the Juvenile

For some time Norman has been on
probation. having confessed 10 steal

made against him, the truant officers
went out and rounded up Norman.

Mr.. Sankey had a keen sense Of hu-

he wanted. Have you none that play

The WORLDS Wheat Supply.

.~Thc possibilities of increasing the
worlds supply of wheat as well as that
of the United States are manifold and
impossible OF estimation, says a writer
on THE Future Wheat Supply Of the
United States" in the September Cen
tury. Vast regions OF land in South
America. north Africa and Asia are
awaiting the demand for 'still more
wheat" which shall bring TO them the
steel plow and the self binder and
cause them TO yield food product suf-
ficient to feed a new population Of un-
told millions. And were modern aGri-
cultural implements and agricultural
knowledge in the hands OF the Russian
and European peasants another addi-
ton, the extent OF which can hardly he
guessed, could be made to the worlds

others who have been driven from the
ancient garden Of the world by op-
preston have sent their money and
their blessings TO the plotters and aGi-
tators In the fathcrlsnd. Their pa
trlotism and libcrallty were shown In
the proposal to express their thanks
to the sultan for the amnesty offered
