by Charles Thompson, MT Orr's helper
 at his blacksmith shop, who as he was
 going to work a little before was the
 first one to discover that the post office
 had been burglarized. As soon as MT
 Hatch was awakened he, with the few
 who had gathered, went into the store
 and post office and in the latter place
 all was confusion. The burglars had
 blown open the safe and in so doing had completly wrecked it, blowing the door off and part of it going out through one of the south windows, smashing the window all out, tearing off the casing and breaking the outside shutter off. Mir Orr's man dicovered the burglary. The flying door hit the desk used by the assistant in the office, breaking it all to pieces and other furniture in the office was badly damaged. The office looked as if a hurricane had struck it when they first opened the door. Nothing in the store seemed to be disturbed much ex- cept some things they used in their work of getting the safe ready for the explosion. Mrs E. s. Roberts who was up on account of sickness in the family, saw three men go past her house going west with bag over their shoulders about 2.30 and it is thought they were the burglars. It is only little over a year since the

Last week Wednesday night, our vil- lage was again visited by burglars and the postoffice was broken open and the safe blown to pieces, the burglars get ting for their trouble between S10O and $20O worth of stamps and money. En- trance was made to the store by break ing open the south door to the store. The tools for the work were taken from the blacksmith shop of James Orr, the village blacksmith.

TELLS OF LABOR CONDITIONS
PRESENTS SUGGESTIONS FOR
FUTURE PROCEDURE-lMM
GRAFTON SHOWS DECLINE.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2-Import-
ant and unusual statements and rec
concentrations are made by Secretary
Oscar S. Straus in the sixth annual
report of the department of COM
mence and labor made public today.
Our age" says Secretary Straus,
has been very properly called an era
of commercial development and ex-
pansion, and the United States. by
reason of its many exceptional advan-
tages, its boundless natural resources,
and possessing a growing, intelligent,
energetic, enterprising AID self re-
liant population, Is reaping a greater
share of Industrial and commercial
prosperity than any of the other ma
tions of the world. As the head of
the department. 1t has been by con-
stant aim so to administer its various
branches as TO afford the greatest
amount of assistance, information
and guidance TO the various indus
trial and commercial activities that
come under its administrative scope.
Secretary Straus points out that
labor and the industries and COM
merce are inter-dependent mat
commerce which is developed and ex-
handed to the detriment, either of the
health or of the wage standard of
the lahorers engaged therein, how
ever profitable it might be in the
material sense. it harmful to ma
tion's welfare and should be discour-
aged
Particular attention is devot d by
the secretary in his report TO .ne bu-
reau of immigration and naturaliza-
tion, corporations and labor. While
other bureaus of the department are
important, the three mentioned bear
the more directly upon the material
interests of the people than do any
of the others. The report, as IL re-
lates to them scarcely can be consid-
cred as an ordinary departmental re-
port, as ii is replete with informa-
tion, suggestion and human interest
Concerning the bureau of immi-
grafton, Secretary Straus points out
that up TO the close of the civil war
all our laws were framed to encour-
/ age immigration and that since then
i American legislation, while not hos
+ tile to immigration, has been directed
! toward the elimination of undesirable
classes. As a result of this legisla.
tiou the percentage of foreign born
persons in our population has re
NAMED practically stationary for 4o
wears. Concretely, the percentage OF
/ foreign born in 1860 was 1872, while
4 IN 1900 il was 1871.
During a portion of the past fiscal
year." says Secretary Straus, land
extending into the present, this coun'
try has suffered an Industrial depres
sion due to a number of causes

A provisional government has been
established and General Legitime

The deposed president, Alexis, Is
still at the palace. Members of the
diplomatic corps are confident that
the purpose in taking the measures
resulting i'm the establishment of the
new government was i'm behalf of
General Simon through confidential
friends in the city. These were aided
by many people in the hope that 1t
would hasten the departure of Alexis

suit that General Simon and his sup
porters would be able TO enter the
city without opposition and it woulo
thus be saved the terror and damage
of a siege and battle. The coupe
