BUCLhRS in
ROOMINC
HOUSE

Boldly entering the front door as
cending the stairs to the second floor
and without any apparent effort at eau
tion to avert detection, two sneak
thieves ransacked several rooms in the
Queen rooming house conducted by
Mrs. Peter Tsmert at 4225s Chickasha
avenue early this morning and succeed
ed in getting away safely with about
$13 in money taken from the room Of
Mrs. Ismerts brother and another
roomer.
Mrs Ismert heard the thieves coming
up the front stairs about o'clock this
morning, but because the intruders
made noise in coming up the stairs
and walking through the hall she pre-
sumed that it was some of her regular
roomers coming In late. However, when
they retraced their footsteps she open
ed the door Of her bedroom and looking
out saw two men entering the room

definitely discern whether it was he
or not. Waiting few moments she
heard the striking of match in the
room and thought that her brother had
lighted the match to locate the electric
light switch She then closed her own
door. A few second later she heard
the door Of her brothers room open
and close, heard footsteps down the
hall, heard another door open and close
and she again opened her own door
and stood looking into the hall. 1t had
not dawned on her that the place WINS
being robbed until the door Of one of
roomers opened and she discovered
two strange men coming out. who
when they saw her dashed down the
stairs into the street and got safely
away with $2.s5 Of Mr.. Austin's money
and $10.45 of another roomers money
tuucked safely away in their Clothes.
The police were notified but no arrests
have yet been made.

After going over the estimates sub
mitted by the commissioners for the
county, by city, township and school
boards, the county excise board has
fixed the county tax levy for the coun-
ty year this year at four mills. Last
year the levy for county purposes was
SIX mills and the reduction is therefore
one-third, In other words, the man
who paid six dollars tax for county
purposes win pay only four dollars for
the same purpose this year.
The levy for the Chickasha school
district was fixed at IA mills. Of this
amount five mills go to the general
fund to pay the expenses of operating
the schools and "a mills go into the
sinking and interest funds. Last year
the total levy for school purposes was
ten mills, the reduction therefore, be-
ing about one-third.
For city purposes the levy this year
is 11.9 mills, which is trifle higher
than it was last year. OF this amount
four mills 80 for general purposes. and
the remainder goes into the interest
and sinking funds.
The total levy for school, city and
county purposes this year is 1873 mills
while last year it was 27.5.
The state levy has not yet been fixed
but it is expected to fall far below last
year.
Many Of the school districts of the
county, together with the town Of
Minco, will have to hold special cleo
tons to vote taxes to meet their esti-
mates.

Million Numerous New Plants
are Established

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. S.-Oklahoma's
development ~ manufacturing state
Is shown BY the fact that the total
output Of the states factories. last
year was s5O,lSo5s4. an increase Of
s20,l1liS4 over the previous year. The
story OF growth Is shown in figures just
compiled by Labor Commissioner c. l..
Daugherty, comparing the year 1903
with 1908. when the total output was
sSO.O774eO.
Tho total amount Of capital invest

Dozens OF new plants in every line
of business, with millions Of dollars
invested, have been started since the
first OF the present year. Many Of
