The war is blamed for the advance in
the price of Irvine which is expected to
prevail in 1917. That is, not exactly
the war, but conditions in Mexico which
have increased the cost of the sisal. The
State Board of Control had already
taken care of the raw material for the
1916 supply, of course, by buying last
year but there is nothing on hand for the
1917 supply and the material must be
bought now and the price paid that
Mexico demands. It is said the price
will go from 7 to 10 cents per pound
higher.

man was trying to play or that he wanted
to brighten somebody coming long the
road she kept quiet. She noticed that
ne went towards the back part of the
house and her sister, Mrs. Gratz went to
the kitchen to look out, of the window.
She had just pushed the curtain back
when she saw the mans face looking in
at the window. The man evidently
did not see her as it was dark in the
house and when he found the window
locked he tried the one adjoining. Mrs.
Gratz again looked out of the window,
this time to see him removing the screen.
When she realized what he was doing
she screamed and told her brother-in-
law, Mr.. Reardon, that the man was
trying to get into the house. The scream
had it's effect on the robber who i'm
mediately left the locality. 1t would
have been easy for Mr.. Reardon to
catch the would-be robber but his wife
detained him from going out, fearing
that the man would shoot at her husband.
When he did get out of the house he
noticed the man running between the
ice sheds and Bingham's elevator. Chase
was given but the fellow made good his
escape as he had too great start.
Chief of Police Herzog, as soon as the
call was sent to him from the Fritz home
Immediately hunted up a car to take
him to the scene but before he had
secured a car the call came from the
Young house. A few minutes later
Policemen Girg and Harmening were
at the Young home but failed to find
anyone. Herzog also made his ap-
pearance in little while for he had got
the call from Reardon's but all the hurry
was in vain as no one was found in that
vicinity. On Sunday Mr.. Herzog round
ed up three of the hoboes that were
lettering around the Northwestern yards
and asked Mrs. Young if she recognized
the face she had seen at the window. AS
the man was not among them the three
were let go. While walking thru the
yards shortly afterwards, Mrs. Young
noticed the man sitting on the
platform of the station but before Herzog
could be notified the man was running
towards the coal sheds. Chase was
given but he escaped again because of
his long lead and as he was able to get
behind some cars and sheds it was an
easy matter to dodge his pursuers. Mr..
Young said after he was pointed
out to him that he had noticed him pass
the house several times that day and
Mrs. Young declares the fellow has been
hanging about for several days.
The description of the man as given
by Mrs. Young is as follows: broad
shouldered, black hair and smooth round
face. Mrs. Young says that the mans
hair stood straight in the air and that he
had wild look on his face. Mrs. Rear
don added that he was of medium
size and further confirmed the COM
plexion and build of the man as given by
Mrs. Young.

VICIOUS FIGHTING OCCURS

British and French Take Several
More Positions in Western Reoion,
While Russians and Italians Report
successes q 0tker Points.
London, Aug. 14.-Hard fighting in
the Somme region Of France, in Cali
cta and in the Italian war theater,
with further gains for the entente al
lies in all three regions, marked the
operations of Saturday night and Sun
day.
Northwest Of Pozieres. north of the
Somme, the British made an advance
of from 800 to 400 yards over a front
of nearly mile against the Germans
and also captured trenches on the
plateau northwest of Bazentin-Le-
Petit, while the French southeast of
Maurepas gained further foothold
on the slopes OF hill 100.
Between ThieovA and the Somme
assaults by the entente allies broke
down. with heavy casualties to the
attackers.
The fighting near Hem and Maure-
pas continued throughout the entire
night and into Sunday, the men re-
peatedly coming to grips in hand to
hand encounters.
Marismpol, in Galicia, seven miles
southeast Of Halicz, the town of Pod
giacy and several villages along the
Upper Sereth river have fallen into
the hands Of the Russians.
All along this front, even in the
Carpathian region, Petrograd reports
that the Russians are continuing their
advance against the Austro-Germans.
Teu4ons Throw Russians Back.
On the Bystritza sector and near
Monasterzysk, however, Berlin says
the Russians have been thrown back
at several places by the counter at
tacks Of the Teutonic allies.
The Duke OF Aosta is keeping up his
strong offensive against the Austri-
ans In the Isonzo region. The Italians
here have driven them from fortified
positions tn the Monfalcone and Corr
zia sectors and taken prisoners more
than 1900 additional men.
Constantinop3e reports that the
Turks east of the Suez canal have
turned against the British and CON-
PEELED them to retreat with heavy
losses.
The London war Office, however, dis
putes this statement, asserting that
the British cavalry is still in pursuit
of the Turkish rear guard, which Sat
urday evening had been driven back
to position east Of Bish-El-Manca.
After long period Of inactivity the
British along the Euphrates, in Meso-
potamfa, attempted an advance
against the Turks, but retreated after
two hours fighting.
Further advances of the Turks
against the Russians on the Persian
front and in Turkish Armenia also
are claimed by Constantinople.

Deen Qead Tor several years, leaving
his family very poor.
"SUch good men do" said Jim sor-
TOwfully, and then he told how, Is
years before, the doctor had nursed
him through a two weeks sickness
he, a poor, homeless waif-and Jim
had never forgotten it
He told a great lie as he placed his
$4,000 into the hands of the young
lady. He had made a fortune in a
mine and wore poor clothes so he
would not be robbed. And then he
fitted away, leaving Rose Adams
fairly astOUnded.
The time came when Weary Jim
felt he was cal in" His Uselessness
was over" as he comicaIIy put it. He
was up one day, down another. Some
how, an indeinabIe longing sent him
tramping it to the cottage home of
his dead benefactOr's daughter.
It was dusk when he approached
the open window. Within the room
were husband and wife and a sweet
little girl in her night robe. She was
saying her prayers, and they ended
with:
And, dear God, bless Mr.. Newton,
who brought mamma and papa the
blessing of their life"
At the sweet cherUb in pure white
the old tramp gazed, then at his own
attire.
81 won't spoil the pretty picture"
he said, and he went YEARLY to a
sheltered corner of the garden and
lay down and slept-and died
Thus they found him, and tenderly
cared for the poor shell of a great
soul. And in the quiet village grave
yard there is a tombstone reading
simply: Weary Jim-Tramp, at
Rest"

SMALL ICE DEALERS PLAN TO
GET ACTION AGAINST
CONSUMERS co.
When the sweltering weather just
passing created such a demand for
ice that overworked ice men were
daily overcome by the heat and 200
ice wagon horses are said to have
dropped dead in a day, the Consum-
ers Co, did not raise the retail
price of ice when nearly every other
company in the city did.
But the Consumers Co. did raise
the wholesale price Of its ice.
Most of the Independent ice COM
panies of Chicago buy their ice from
the Consumers Co. They had been
getting this at 50 and $3.50 a ton,
that is, at 10 and Is cents for 100
pounds wholesale. But when the hot
spell came the Consumers Co. boost
ed it's price to dealers to 81 and So
a ton, just double what it was be-
fore, according to a little dealer to-
day. This meant the dealers had to
pay 20 or 25 cents for 100 pounds
for ice which they had been retail
ing for 80 cents.
The little dealers had to jump the
retail price to 40 cents, which was
less profit to them than 80 cents
under the old conditions.
Now the little dealers claim they
are losing their trade, for while the
{ Consumers Co has raised the whole
sale price of ice so that they had to
boost the wagon price to 40 cents,
the Consumers Co. is still selling
from the wagon at 80 cents and is
giving trading stamps besides.
Believing they are being biIked by
trust methods, in violation Of anti
