Attempt Is Made to
 Blow Up Store House

Shirley. Jan. 3 Will Gliddens, a merchant of Shirley, this morn ing found 13 sticks of dynamite tied in a package and placed on a block of wood under his store.
 A piece of fuse several feet long fastened to the package had been ignited but the dynamite did not explode because no caps had been attached. There was enough dy- namite to have blown the building into kindling wood.
 Several residents of Shirley have recently received letters threat ening death. The letters were written with lead pencil and signed Night Riders"

Additional Improvement District Proposed to Secure Walks For
 The North Part of Town

A special meeting of the town council was held Saturday after noon to consider the matter of forming an additional sidewalk improvement district.
 A number of citizens who live out in the north part of town have become interested in getting the walks extended, and at the meeting Saturday 1t was suggest ed that another improvement dis trict be organized, to build walk on a proposed route about as fol- lows: Beginning at F. C. Hoyt's residence on Third street and run hing west two blocks to E. E. Al lens residence on the corner of Third and Hill streets; thence north on Hill street to Dr. J. B. Roe's residence near the corpor- ation line. It was also suggest ed that the walk on the east side of town be extended. beginning at the end of the present walk at T. H. Dearing's residence on Maple street and running north about four blocks or further, if the property owners desire 1t. Walks could be included also on any of the side streets at any point the property owners desire them.
 No definite action was taken, as only d few of the property owners affected were present. A com mittee consisting of Mayor J. B. Ketchem, T. J. Raney and o. F. Craig was appointed to investigate the sentiment of the property owners in regard to the matter and report to meeting of the council to be held next Saturday evening.

MOVE TO SECURE MORE.
 SIDEWALKS IS STARTED
Robbers Nike When
 Burglar Alarm Rings

It is reported from Batesville that an attempt was made to rob the First National Bank of Bates vile early Saturday morning. but the robbers were frightened away when they stepped upon a hidden button which is connected with a big gong on the outside of the bank building. The gong began to ring, and the burglars fled in haste through a window which they had entered.
 This bank is the only one in the county equipped with a burglar alarm and 1t is said that the noise made by the gong which was set off is decidedly tame in comparison to that which would have been set off had the would-be burglars tempered with the vault door or the steel casing inside the vault. It is thought that they were amateurs in the business as an ex- pert safe-cracker would be too wise to tamper with a bank hav- ing burglar alarm system.
 No clew as to their identity has been discovered.

Three Fires Wednesday Night, Two of Which are Said to he Work
 of Supposed Night Riders

Three fires, all supposed to have been of incendiary origin, oc- cured within short distance of Newark Wednesday night.
 Two of the fires are supposed to have been started by alleged Night Riders.
 The house on A. c. Martin S farm in Oil Trough bottom was burned and the barn on the place recently rented by Will McAhron on the Island was destroyed.
 Alleged night riders are SUD- posed to have burned these build ings. Notices signed Night Riders have recently been serv- ed on land owners warning them not to rent land for money rent. h most instances these warnings have not been taken seriously and a good deal of land has been rented for cash instead of a part of the crop. MT. Martins place and the place occupied by Mir McAhron had both been rented for cash, and it is supposed that
 
 the alleged Night Riders" ap- piled the torch.
 The house on ". E. Self S place northwest of town was burned about 9:30 Wednesday night. The house was occupied by MT. and Mrs. 0rvill Smith, who were away from home when the fire occurred, having gone to the Point neighborhood a few days before to visit relatives and look after some stock in which Mr. Smith was interested. Moth ing was saved from the building, as neighbors who discovered the fire arrived too late to save any thing. It is thought that the fire was started by parties who enter ed the house for the purpose of

ENDORSES WORK OF
 THE FARMERS UNION
The Farmers Need to Organize For Mutual Protection and Educa-
 ton Says Writer

Editor Newark Journal III you can spare me space in your paper to print the following, allow me to thank you in advance for the same. 1 will say that am proud of the organization with which stand identified, so far as l under stand its principles. l understand that this organization is founded q upon the principles of equity, jus tice, and the golden rule, for the purpose of helping the farmer and farm laborer to evade the mono polistic oppression we are now under, thereby placing him on an equal basis with the many other industries that are in the United States. According to history, this grand old American continent was discovered in the year 1492. At the same time immigration start ed, by people who were seeking to find a place where all industries could be established upon an equal basis. After finding the place that they were seeking, by organ ization and cooperation, and standing together, they gained their independence, and evaded the unjust and oppressive laws of their mother country, and have come to be a great atnation. Farma ing in all ages has been the most important industry of our eoun- try, but the farmer has neglected looking after his own interest in a business way, until he IS in an almost helpless condition. Each year after our crops have been produced and harvested, the spec ulators and corporations stand with out-stretched arms ready to rake in the bountiful harvest of the American farmer, at the price they may mention, and holding our products for an extortinate profit, leaving the farmer barely enough to exist, while he makes another crop, and usually not enough.
 And 1 think 1t is time for the farmers to organize, and by CO., operation, and strict business methods, prevent speculation and gambling on farm products, by boards of trade, cotton exchanges, and institutions, which prevents the normal operation of the law of supply and demand. We should also discourage the mortgage sys- tenn, and encourage the diversifi- cation of crops and use our best efforts to bring farming up to the standard of other industries, at the same time strive for harmony aNl good will among all mankind, and establish the principles of equity, justice and the golden rule. Anyone interested in the organi- zation, write G. D. Hall of Pleas ant Plains, lecturer and organizer for the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union.
