Big DEMOCRATIC
VICTORY IN SIXTH.
Progressive Republicans Join Demo
Gratis in Repudiating Aldrichism,
cannonism and Unpopular
Tariff.
ELECTION SHOWS TREND
OF POPULAR MIND.

The special election held in the
Sixth Congressional district last
Tuesday to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Hon. ID. A.
De Almond was surprise even to
the Democrats in largeness Of their
victory. \ little over year ago
De Almond carried the district by
u plurality OF 2,ld0, and "A majority
over his two competitors Of ,S93;
but when the returns came in from
the special election last Tuesday and
showed Il plurality for G. c. Dick
inson, the Democratic candidate, of
3,7S3, the magnitude of the victory
was apparent. Only two counties
In the district, Cedar and Dade,
gave the Republican candidate ma
jorities, the first only 1856 and the
other 223, while Bates, Cass, Henry,
Johnson and st. Clair all gave Dick
inson majorities ranging from 375
in st. Clair county to ,302 In Henry
and totaling 3,754 About 500 pro-
gressive Republicans, who have
become Disguised with the policies
practiced by President Taft, Aldrich,
Cannon and other leaders Of their
party in the cause OF special inter
ests, voted with the Democrats,
which accounts for the largely in
creased majority, and shows the
trend of the popular mind.
Although it was special election |
for only n single official, and al !
though 1t was in the dead of winter, |
il IL estimated that nearly 10000 |
votes were cast against $4,000 In |
1908, showing the deep interest the
people are taking in the national is
sues that now confron. them. A
like result at the general election,
which the Sixth district election
portends, would sweep the Republi.

West and land n Democratic MAORI

That the Taft administration and
the reactiouaries in control Of the
Republican machine at Washington

special election, is shown by the
fact that Cabinet officer, II Re-
publican United States senator, Re

The Democrats would have been
satisfied with n small increase over
the majority of 1905, as tending To
show the dissatisfaction among the
people with the policies and acts Of
the Taft administration, and they
had some of their best and most pop
ular leaders campaigning in the dis

turns came in, the victory was so

the prisoner is, having charge Of the
sentence.

Farmers Wide Awake at Last

After the farmers meeting adjourned
last week the prediction was made that
some of them would not plant the berries
after promising 10 do so, but they
never made a bigger mistake in their
life. Our people are thoroughly alive
TO anything that is Of such concern TO
themselves. We have yet to hear of
man who is not going to plant as many
or more than he promised. while the
Board Of Trade is receiving commun-
ications in every mail from people who
were not present, promising to plant
berries too, and instead Of having about
200 acres for next year. we will have
several hundred acres. At the meeting
some wanted to plant them by contract,
but nothing was done then. The Board
of Trade, however, has not been idle.
and is now in a position to give people.
who wish it, chance to raise them by
contract. One gentleman wants to con-
tract for 400 acres he will furnish all
manure, crates, baskets. ETC., and pay
a good price for the berries. Particulars
can be obtained by applying to the sec
Rotary Of the Board, DIR. John l.. Riley.
The farmers are hustling as never be-
fore, and an era of greater prosperity
is certainly dawning for our community.
Next year will see thousands Of dol
lars IN our town that have been going
elsewhere. Let every man, who re-
ceived a card from the Board. fill in
same and mail at once, as the information
is of vital interest to the Board of Trade,
as it enables them to procure better
shipping facilities for the growers.

BOLD ROBBERY
IN ATKINSONS
Farmer Chatham Kept His Money
In a Chest Instead Of Bank
Thieves Steal L.

A daring robbery was committed in
Atkinson's District, few miles from
Snow Hill. Monday night. the victim
being Mr.. Samuel Chatham, who lives
near st. Luke's Church, from whom
more than $1,000 is reported to have
been stolen, besides several notes Of
hand.
Mr.. Chatham is about seventy years
of age, is a bachelor and lives alone.
1t is known that MFR. Chatham general
ly keeps considerable sum of money
secretcd about his home. and, in order
to be on his guard against possible sur
prises in the night, it is said that he
does not retire to bed
On the night of the robbery Mr..
Chatham entertained some OF his neigh
bors until about ten o'clock. After the
departure of his guests, Mr.. Chatham
proceeded to take his nightly rest in his
usual manner, but his light doing was
frequently disturbed by slight thump-
ing a short distance away. At first he
thought the noise was a mule kicking
the sides of the stable. The humping
continued, and Mr.. Chatham became
convinced that the noise did not come
from the stable or any Of the outbuild-
ings. Alert and thoroughly awakened,
Mr.. Chatham went into the part Of the
house where he kept his money secreted.
This room is separated from the room
in which he had spent the evening by a
colorado and a porch. On reaching
this room he found the door had been
broken open, and his dismay and con-
sternation can best be pictured when
he discovered that the chest containing
his treasure had been removed. Eager
to recover his money he snatched up his
gun and started in the direction whence
the noise he had heard issurd. AS he
ran he saw lights about hundred yards
distant from the house, and he began
shooting and calling out ''murderl" at
the top of his voice.
The robbers dispersed precipitately,
but they had had time to pry open the
chest and make Off with the contents.
This chest was about six feet long, two
feet high, and two feet in width. 1t
was kept locked. and wrapped with
strong hoops of wire and stout cords of
grass rope. The money was secreted
in smaller chest inside the big one,
and was also securely locked and fasten-
ed.
Mr.. Chatham's cries of alarm were
heard by Mr.. Charles Owens. who lives
short distance away. When Mr..
Owens arrived they took lanterns. and
soon found the chest broken open and
rified of its contents. They also found
silver dollar and penny which had
been dropped. A small fancy green can
die was also found. The tracks of three
fleeing men were clearly discernible in
the soft earth of the field across which
they made their escape.
Mr.. Glenmore Bromley, constable of
Atkinson's District. was sent for. and
he reported the case to the authorities
in Snow Hill.
Several important clues have been
discovered, and it is hoped they will be
speedily followed by the arrest of the
persons who took part in the robbery.
