cerv was taken into his wood shed this
morning at an early hour and broken
into with an ak, and the sum of 10
cents was secured. The reverend gen
tleman was aroused from his peaceful
slumbers by the noise, and, scantlly
clad in his night clothes, he pro-
ceeded, gun in hand, to extermlnate
the robbers. But in reasoning That II
was the unlioded gun that always
went off, the minister reasoned un-
wisely, for after swapping the shooting
stick twice at the wrongdoers, and re-
ceiving no response. he decided to re-
turn and load the weapon, during the
process of which, the crackers
made their getaway.
Just before noon nj. U. Hoswell, of
the Rogers HosWell company, re-
ported to the police that his store had
been entered some time during the
night both cash registers opened and
agout $40 in cash taken. Entrance is
thought to have been effected through
the grating in the sidewalk on the
south side of the building, giving free
access to the basement, and the
stairs which lead to the upper floor
1t is not known whether any articles
were taken from the store.
Toney Kass, who lives in a small
building on the alley between Main
and Alder streets, and between First
and Second streets, reported this af-
ternOOn, that one of the windows had
been broken and a revolver which was
under his pillow was taken. He was
out at the time.
The cash register in the meat mar
ket of AugustavO brothers, adjoining
the DeMOss grocery on South Second
street, was forced and about 10 cents
in pennies taken. Entrance here was
gained through a rear window.
In order to gain entrance to the
Mclean grocery, the burglars forced
the door on the back entrance to the
store of Olds & SappingtOn, and from
the shed succeeded in getting into the
grocery store, where the safe was the
object sought.
1t was reported this afternoon that
the Schafer grocery store on West
Main street was entered Saturday
night and about $4 taken from the
register Entrance was gained through
one of the rear windows, which was
forced.

It Is interesting to note how much of sn insight one can get into mans real character through the unconscious testi- mony of his associates. And with no one Is this more clearly illustrated than with William Jennings Bryan. The Bry- ans belong to what they call the Farm CTS club,' in which the social life Tn Normal centers, says writer in the July Delineator. Through the winter they hold monthly meetings at the homes of the members. They come in the nora ing some 50 strong and stay till dark. Each family brings a great basket and there is spread the finest dinner you ever ate; chickens, roasted and broiled an1 Iumpkin, and all the cakes the diligent housewives can find in the cook book.

 In the late financial stringency clerk in one of the New York banks was try ing to explain to a stolid old Dutchman why the bank could not pay cash to de- positors as formerly, and was insisting that he be satisfied with clearing house checks. But the old German could not grasp the situation, and finally the pres ident of the bank was called upon to en- tighten the dissatisfied customer After a detailed explanation of the financial sit- uation, the president concluded. Now. my good man, you understand don't you?'
