BURGLARS AGAIN
ROB VINCENT
FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN A
YEAR THE MooRHEAD HARD.
WARE STORE WAS ENTERED
LAST NIGHT-THIEVEs EVIL
IDENTIFY WERE AMATEURS.

For the third time within year
burglars entered the store of the Moor
head Hardware Co, John C. Vincent,
owner and manager, last night. Cir
cumstances show that the job was
done between IL o'clock and mid
night. The store was entered June 80
last, then about four months ago and
again last night.
Mr.. Vincent estimates the loss from
last nights robbery at upwards of
$3.50. In addition to an assortment of
cutlery, knives, razors, manicure
set, fourteen American watches were
taken from the glass case and sew
eral other small articles. Near to the
cutlery case the thieves spied a hunt
ing sweater and that was taken away.
visit was made to the safe, the door
of which was open, and from that a
leather purse containing $3.50 in
change was taken. The thieves pried
open the small inner safe, removed
the latter and carried it behind the
counter where il was rummaged, but
the contents were of no value to them
bundle of laundry left in the store
ny q LdII was also TAKEN.
What astounds me is that the WISH
tors did not help themselves to more
than they did," said Mr.. Vincent, "for
they had the chance of their lives,
They could have carried away $1,000
worth or more with but little trouble.
From superb stock of safety razors,
for instance, they selected only one of
the cheaper kind and the pocket
knives taken were by no means the
best. I am convinced that the entry
was made by men living here, or in
Fargo, for strangers could hardly
have manipulated the trap door
through which entry was made from
the basement. An electric light was
burning directly over the window
through which the thieves entered the
basement. I thought I had protected
myself pretty we'll with all the pre-
cautions ! took after my store was
entered several months ago, but I find
/ shall have to devise some other
pans"
Last night the store was entered by
the breaking of a barred window
which lighted the basement at the
rear Of the store in the alley. Once
in the basement the thieves were
free from any gaze whatever, but they
found obstruction when it came to
lifting the trap door which completed
entrance to the store proper, but pa
thence ano the wiggling of an iron bar
out of place brought its reward and it
is plair that the exit with the plumber
was by the same way. Two search
warrants were used by the police this
morning, but nothing was found In the
premises searched and now the police
are on another scent.

WHY THE MINISTER
WORE a LONG FACE.

Detroit News: The minister boarded
late afternoon car. He looked weary.
There was a tone of sadness in his
voice. People say they like jolly. red
faced ministers, but perhaps they don't
just understand what the minister's
afternoon duties often are. 'Tve had
eight funerals this week-rwo each of
two afternoons" a Detroit minister
told me. No wonder the long faced
look sometimes comes. 1t isn't mt
on, II isn't religion that makes it,
it is the sadness of other folk per-
meating the minister's very marrow.
The minister had just come from
funeral. He had dismissed his car
riage at the city hall. Because" said
he, Il wanted TO get into a crowded
car and hear carefree voices before 7
went home" Then, bit by hit cama
the story of the afternoon. .It was
2-year-old baby" said he. and he
paused (the minister has a E-year- old
baby of his own. "The poor mother
bore up wonderfully we'll. but lust be-
fore the last farewell was said she
came into the room bearing the little
ones knitted shawl We wondered
what she was about, bur she had
smile on her face-a rare smile.
STOPPING over the little white casket
she lifted the babe just little and
tucked the shawl under, then wrapped
It up over the little folded hands and
brought 1t together under the chin. she
arranged it as carefully as if the baby
were in its crib-ir was drear and cold
outside. 1t was very cold at the grave.
and think that shawl gave the mother
some comfort"
Both Of US looked out of the car
window long time. 1t was very cold

BroomhalI's Report.

Liverpool. Jan. 1.-THE wheat mar
ket at the opening showed a firm I'M
dertone. with values u higher. Offer
ings were light and shorts covered on
the present strength in America and
drmness of spot. Following the open
ing the market became dull, but firmly
held and prices further advanced Il.
There was some demand from the con-
tinent and some buying from this
source. Offerings light and shipments
expected to be light. The advance was
checked by the very small demand for
forward shipments for the week and
the pressure in Buenos Ayres at the
close yesterday. At midday the mar
ket was dull but firm and " higher
than yesterday.
Corn: Dull but steady, and after
opening unchanged the Platte grade
advanced *. Support was due to
lighter offerings. Argentine rains we're
only partial. Shipments are expected
to be light for the week and Platte
offers are firm. These offset freer
American offers.
Weekly Argentine estimates: Wheat,
$50, O0O last week. 100000; last year,
296. 900. Corn, 1000, 900; last week.
2,27S,0O0 last year, $4,000. Our agent
cables that rain has fallen in the pro-
vince of Cordoba in the southern part
and also light showers in the province
of Buenos Ayres. The corn crop shows
a bad outlook.
Indian shipments for week amount
to 1,024,000 bushels against 766,00
bushels last week and 100000 bushels
last wear RrnonnhalI estimates the
shipments for next week from Kur-
rachee at 472.O00 bushels. Our agent
at Calcutta cables that there has been
fairly heavy rains and this is causing
some anxiety.-Broomhall

ton.
II appreciate the effort made by

know it was made in good faith" the
mayor said. 81 feel that I have been
honored sufficiently In being per-
mitted to help improve the city"
At the time the mayors enemies

would decline the honor even before

portunity TO hestow IT upon him
