The robbers entered the store by

Just what time the thieves broke
into the place is not known, but it
must have been early this morning.
When the store was closed at z o'clock
last night a light was left burning.
This was turned out by the thieves.
The interior Of the store can be
seen without much effort from the
outside, and this gives rise to the be-

Chicago, Understanding to pre-
sent indications the wholesale and re-
tail prices of meats in Chicago and
surrounding territory will suffer
marked decrease within the next few
days. Dispatches from other cities
show that the prices Of pork have been
greatly reduced and the local market
is expected to be similarly affected
within short time.
At Kansas City a reduction ranging
from a cent to two and a half cents
a pound on pork chops was accorded.
Seventeen and one-half cents pound
for pork chops was the prevailing
price. where 20 to % cents a pound
was the price several weeks ago.
In Boston similar conditions pre-
vailed. Beef went down nearly five
points and pork products suffered a
like decline. The prices of nearly all
lines of fresh vegetables were also af'
fected. The butter and egg market
held firm and was slightly higher at
the close of tho day than a few days
previous.

poultry and vegetables will undergo a
drop in the local markets. COMMITS
sion men would not admit that this
was likely to happen soon, but when
told that the retail meat dealers had
forecasted a drop in the prices of
meats, they admitted that the poultry
and vegetable markets would be affect

Edward F. Swift, vice president OF
Swift & Co., refused to express an
opinion as to the likelihood of condi-

that the prices of meats in other cities
had been reduced he asked to be ex-
cused from answering as to whether

WIFE TRIES TO END LIFE
Noveist's Disappearance and Deser-

Many to His Failing Mentality.

st. Petersburg.-In the old monas-

Kaluga, Count Leo Tolstoi, the social
reformer and novelist, who has re-
nounced the world and who d1sap-
peared several days ago, was found
Saturday by searching party.
Simultaneously with the finding OF
the count, his wife, overcome by the
desertion of her husband, is reported
to have twice attempted suicide by
drowning herself through a hole IN
the ice. She is in a state Of collapse,
and may not recover.
The flight of the count has made a
painful impression. That he should
desire to spend the evening of his
days in solitude surprises no one &C
quainted with his career, but that he
should deliberately desert the mother
Of his nine children is difficult Of be-
lief even in the light of his we'll

The suggestion of failing mental

ton of the counts sudden action.

STUDY RAILWAY REGULATION
Commissioners From Nearly All States
Are In Convention.

Washington, d. G. More effec-
i've and comprehensive legislation by
the various states for the regulation
of all Interstate railroads and railway
traffic is a subject that was taken up
for consideration today when the Ma
tional Association of Railway Commits
sioners met in this city in annual con-
vention at the capitol. Practically ev-
cry state in the union is represented.
A committee headed by Ira B. Mills,
of Minnesota, embracing commission,
ers from Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and about dozen 9TH
er states, has had under consideration
one of the most important topics that
the convention will consider. 1t re-
Iates to the adoption of uniform laws
by the various states in regulating
within state railroads" The commit
tees recommendations, it is thought,
will go a long ways in assisting the
interstate commerce commission in it's
work of supervising railway control.
The association will consider, among
other things, shippers claims on COM
mon carriers, railway SeFVlC0 anu DC
commodations; railroad statistics; &C
counts and statistics of street rail-
roads; simplification of railway tar
ifs; rate and rate making; uniform
classification; car service and demur-
rage; railway capitalization; safety ap-
pliances; grade crossings and tres
passing; railroad taxes and railroad
valuation; amendments to the act to
regulate commerce and delays attend
ant upon enforcing orders of state
railway commissions. President M. S.
Decker of New York is in the chair.

An Exciting Town.

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town
to live in. To say nothing of its
heavenly climate and it's bombs, there
is always something stimulating in
the occult line going on. Just the
other day a widow of the angelic city
began to long for a sight of one of
her schoolmates whom she had not
seen for As years. The longing brought
it's fulfllment. A spirit told her to
look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed,
met him on the street a few hours
after she arrived, and promptly mar
RED him. 1t is worth while to live
in city where things like this hap
pen, even at the risk of being blown
up now and then.

GIVES HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS
Engineer Turns Over His Oxygen
Helmet That Mine Victims
May Reach Surface.

Delagua, Col-The bodies of So
men were found Wednesday In the
north entry of the Victor American
Fuel company, where the explosion
originated. They were brought out
slowly over the debris, but not all
were identified.
Willis Evans, engineer OF the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company at Pri-
nero, gave his life in the rescue Of
four miners taken out alive. He came
to Delagua with the rescue car of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
The rescuers worked their way along
the entry and heard the faint tapping
of a pick on solid rock, the wireless
call of the miner. They attacked the
entry with renewed hope. When they
tore through the cave they found four
Slav miners alive and unhurt. They
were 1900 feet from the surface, and
the passages we're filled with after
damp. The rescuers feared to take
the imprisoned men to the surface
without helmets, and without mo-
ment's hesitation Evans and one Of
the other rescuers took of their he'll
NETS and gave them to two Of the res
cued men and waited for the return
of the rescue partJ.
When the rescuers returned Evans
had disappeared. The rescue party
supposed he had followed them out
without a helmet and went out with
out searching for him. They discov-
cred he had not reached the surface
and another party was sent in after
him.

SARToRIAL SNoBBERY.

That elusive individual to whom the
New York tailors owe a large debt or
gratitude-which may be more than
balanced by the amount he owes the
tailors-has rendered the public an
other profound statement. He says
that man "who doesn't go out much"
can dress decently on $4,000 year,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. OBJ
serve the subtle malgnity of that quail
flying phrase. The man who goes out
much, the fellow who romps through
routs and dinners and teas and al
fresco twaddlefests, must pay his tall
or-no matter what he does for the
piper. While the poor chappie who
is hampered by measiy $4,000 Will
cut his pleasures carefully according
to his cloth, being so closely menaced
by that deadly line of decency. Just
now this distinction will be regarded
by the possessor of two coat hangers,
with only one in active use, can easily
be imagined. He will smile at the
ukase and snap his fingers at a code
of decency that is based on 20 coats
and countless trousers Nevertheless,
If you are ambitious to be of the
patricians you must do as the patric-
ians do-provided your income ex-
ceeds the paltry $5,000-and it will be
an exhibition of extremely bad form
If you regard this sartorial declara-
ton of the man who knows in any
other save the most serious light.
