BURGLARS SCARED AWAY
Thieves Shatter Glass Door in Attempt
to Gain Entrance to Dallas
Furniture Company.

An attempt was made to rob the
store Of the Dallas Furniture Com
pany late Wednesday night, but ii
was fortunately prevented in time.
Unknown parties, presumably hangers
on OF the circus, were trying to force
an entrance at the front of the build
ing, and had shattered the glass
in the front door when they were fright
ened away by the approach of Marshal
T. A. Odom and W. J. White, one of
the deputies. Mr.. Odom and Mr..
White entered the building and looked
through it carefully, to make sure
that no one had remained hidden in
side, but found everything clear. A
close watch was kept on the building
during the night, but the would be
burglars made no second attempt to
gain an entrance.

MANY ATTEND CIRCUS
Norris & Rowe Show Gives Two
Interesting Performances in
Dallas.

Norris & Rowe's big circus was
enthusiastically received on its visit to
Dallas, Wednesday, large crowds
attending both the afternoon and
evening shows. The train arrived in
Dallas at 5 80 o'clock in the morning
and by 10 o'clock everything had been
unloaded, the big tents were rising on
the field north of the city, and the
parade had started up Main street
between two solid walls of interested
and enthusiastic spectators.
Several new features have been
added to the big show since its visit to
this city year ago, while some of its
old attractions have been dropped. A
majority Of those who attended yester-
day declare that the circus has been
greatly improved. After the close of
the evening show, the tents were
struck and the equipment hurried
aboard the cars, and by midnight the
big circus was ready for its next move
to McMinnville, where it gave two
performances yesterday.

Sol peeping out from behind the

its good points, but like to see Easter

That's about all that knocks in the

concern, which had by that time grown
to enormous proportions. Foreseeing
even greater possibilities In the union
Of the sugar refining firms throughout
the country, mainly through his efforts
a combination Of fifteen Of the princi-
pal sugar dealers was effected. This
so-caled Sugar Trust falling under
the ban of the courts, q new and more
sweeping change was made by consoli-
dating all the various companies into
a single great corporation. This was
done on January u, 1891, by the incor-
poration Of the American Sugar Re-
f1nerles Company in the State Of New
Jersey. The capitalization Of the cor
poration, originally $5OO0O,OOO, was
later increased to S75,0OO,OO0, to allow
Of the purchase Of four sugar compan-

in colossal ships has been unwelcome
in Germany, because the policy of con-
