Stocked With Food.

During the winter MT. Hill and his ' family close up their summer home and leave it to caretaker. The place had been stocked with food recently In anticipation of their return, but the family had not yet moved down. There had been no one at the home since last week.
 Yesterday John Driscoll, of Green street, the caretaker, went to the house to look after things. He noticed that one of the door had been forced. Entering the dining room he found valuable chinaware, richly cut glass, table cloths and food strewn about, with empty wine bottles adding to the wreckage. Further exploration showed that every room had been visited and turned topsy turvy.
 Tried All the Beds.
 A visit to the bed rooms showed that each bed had been used and the ? covering scattered about the floor. While Driscoll was still on this floor he heard noises in one of the attic rooms. He hastily left the house for aid, going across the street to an adjoining home. AS he and the care taker of this place started back to investigate, after summoning the police, they saw a man peering from the window.
 Before they could reach the house and barricade him in he leaped from the window and dropped from this to the porch roof on the second floor and climbed to the ground. With him he carried a valuable rifle taken from Mir Hills den.
 So far as could be learned only silk underwear and a suit of clothes, In addition to the rife, were missing. Tn their places, were found, a suit of overalls, discarded underwear and a dilapidated hat The police have been unable to trace the man.

 The great work of democracy does not depend upon commercial enter prise declared the speaker, but rather upon the development of the race and that is the work entrusted to the mothers. Your time for influencing your children is very short and has to a large extent passed when they have reached the age of ten said MT. Moore. After that the influence of the school, their playmates and other outside causes will be stronger than your influence.

QUEER FIGURES SHOWN
BY MARRIAGE REGISTER

During the month of April, just
passed, there were only five marriage
licenses issued in Fremont county.
Not since February 1903, thirteen
years ago, had the number been SO
small. Only two or three times in
score of years have the applica-
tions for marriage licenses in this
county been as few as last month,
although only seven were issued in
February and nine in March OF this
year. Since January first, 1885 10
the present time, which covers a
period of thirty years and four months,
total of 429s marriage licenses
have been recorded in the Office of
the county clerk here, an average of
something Ike 14O year, or, broadly
considered. only a little less than
twelve a month. From 1855 to 1895. a
period OF ten years, the number OF
marriage licenses granted in this
county was Ss7 From 1895 to 1915,
a period OF twenty years, there was
a material annual increase, the mum
ber of marriage licenses during that
time being 1906. From May first,
1915. to May first. 1915, the number
of marriage licenses issued was l05 i.
During the twelve months previously
the number was 1873. From May first.

was 129. From May first 1913. to
May first 1914, the number was l5s.
During the previous twelve months
the number was 16l. Although the
population OF Fremont county is in
cressing from year to year the num-
