Two Places
Are BurgIarized
LAUNDRY AND O'DWYER'S WAREHOUSE
Several Suits of Clothes are Taken; Case of
Canned Milk. Exchange Clothes.

Burglars were busy in the city
Tuesday evening, at least two
places being broken into. These
were the Idaho Laundry ana
O'DWyers warehouse. Entrance
to the laundry was gained by
breaking the window in the back
door when it was an easy matter
to reach through and unlock the
door. So far as could be learned
the burglars confined themselves
to the dry cleaning department
but they made a good haul there.
The following is a list of the
articles taken, as furnished us by
the police, the names of the own
ers and a description of the
articles:
Paul Russell, three piece suit,
blue with white stripe, marked in
sleeve; A. b. Annis, brown suit;
Anna O'Gara, grey cravenette
skirt, grey tweed skirt; Mr.. Powell
rain coat, olive color; Cliff Ure
black overcoat; II. O. Foster, suit,
black and white mixture, marked
in sleeve; Mr.. Young, blue serge
suit marked in sleeve; w. C. Guile
brown suit, marked in sleeve; Mr..
Ostroot, suit, blue and white
mixture; f. w. Beier, trousers,
blue MIXTURE marked in pocket.
The robber was evidently in no
hurry as he stopped long enough
to change his trousers for a pair
which he found in the dry clean
ing department and left his old
pair in exchange. From the
pair of trousers he left the robber
was evidently a small man as
they were only twenty-eighl
inch leg.
A former employee of the
laundry, Ed Mcfarland, is under
suspicion. 1t has been some time
since he worked at the laundry
and it is understood that he was
discharged for dishonesty. lie
had not been in the city for some
time until Monday. That after
noon he visited the laundry bui
, could not be found the next morn
ing. A description of him, to-
gether with the articles taken was
wired to the officers in all the
nearby cities.
From the articles taken a
O'Dwyer's it would appear tha
local parties committed tn,
burglary, a case of condense,
milk and a sack of flour being
taken. Other articles misse,
there were an Overcoat, coat, pip,
and case belonging to H G.. Car
land and a hat belonging {,
O'Dwyer. The robber here, a
at the laundry, left his old Goa
and hat in exchange for the one
taken.
Entrance was made by pryin
Up a window in fhe ogce. Tn
door from the Office into On
warehouse was unlocked. Th
robber evidently had tried tn

except the books and it is alway
closed but left unlocked. TIL

bination had been tried

time in this city and was an eX-

On Becoming CaIIoussd.

Our danger is this: We become
accustomed to the sight of infirmity
and sorrow. 1t is just a familiar
part Of our surroundings. The pass
ing funeral train awakens no more,
or little more, thought than the
passing Of the tram-car. The blind
blind man becomes as unnoticed as
the curbstone. Sorrow and burdens
become so familiar as to cease to
break the spell Of our thought. Fa-
miliarity lures us into indifference,
and indifference turns the face into
an awful blank. Then the crushed
life looks up into the blank face,
and painfully wonders if Gods face
is blank, too. Oh, that is the agony
Of many a life that drags itself along
in chronic weakness and WEAKNESS
and grief-the agony Of wondering
if God becomes accustomed to the
sight Of pain, if His face becomes a
blank, if out Of it there fades away
the light Of a fresh compassion!-
Rev. J. H. Jowett, in the Christian
Herald.

Birmingham, Alabama, gets cred
1t for having entertained the late
annual reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans better and for
less money than has been done by
any other city in recent years. Out
of $4,000 subscribed for entertain
ment, the committee met every re-
quirement and has money left over
to return to the subscribers. Chat
tanoog spent $4,000 and Memphis
as much. The truth Of the business
is that some cities seem to seek the
reunion for the opportunity to rob
those who attend and in some in
stances the veterans have not re-
ceived the attention they deserved
and that was promised them. What
Washington, the next reunion city
will do remains to be seen but the
capitol city Is better known for
graft and high prices than for hos.
pitality.

James j. Hill, who bears the dis
tinguished title Of Empire Builder
living at St. Paul Minnesota, had to
undergo a critical operation last Sat
urday. Mr.. Hill rallied favorably
after the operation and had no fe-
yer, but on account Of his extreme

uneasiness, The great builder Of
railroads was attended on last Fri
day and Saturday by perhaps the
most eminent doctors in the United
States in the persons Of Doctors
William and Charles Mayo Of Ro-
chester, Minnefota.
Later; Mr.. Hill died at 1886
o'clock Monday morning. the last
report being that there was but lit
tie if any hope for him at any time
after the operation which was per-
formed in the hope Of relieving him
from some trouble Of the bowels.
Mr.. Hill was rs years old at the
time Of his death and was born in
Ontario, Canada. His parents were
Irish, his father dying when the boy
was fifteen years old.

Interesting VIII Case.

Hopkinsville, KY, May 27.-Rela-
tives Of the late M. A. Wilgus, CAPT.
talist and widely known newspaper
and railroad man, who died by his
own hand here in the fall Of 1914,
have filed suit, seeking to annul the
will, whereby he left all his estate,
valued at $4,000, to the city Of
Hopkinsvills for providing public
Fairgrounds for the white children.
No grounds are set up further
than that the will probated here
was not the true last will and tesla
ment. Further, the petitioners pray
that the city be adjudged to have
no interest in the property what
ever, and that it be turned over to
them. The will left all the proper
ty to Thomas W. Long, closest friend
of the deceased, for his lifetime and
at his death it was to be used for
providing Fairgrounds. Mr.. Long
lived only a few weeks after MI.
Wilgus died. The suit is directed
against George c. Long, executor,
and the city Of Hopkinsville.

The battle Of Verdun which has
been in progress with but few days
Of intermission since about Febru-
airy, is going to prove the greatest
conflict in the cost Of human lives
since men began to kill each other.
Some time ago it was estimated
that five hundred thousands or a
half million lives had already been
sacrificed. The battle Of Verdun
derives its name from a French for
tress Of that name and that battle
is going to make it a fact in history
that the German soldier, man
against man, has no-chance against
the Frenchman. So it was in the
Franco-Prussian war of 1901
and if possible the French soldier
has won even greater honor for va
lor in this, the greatest war the
world has ever known. When the
entente allies win this war, the
greatest glory should 50 to the brave
French people who have made such
a splendid fight under an infidel
government that does not deserve
to exist a day.

The city attorney of Nashville
holds that Sunday baseball Is not
unlawful. or in his own words 1T is
my opinion that playing baseball on
Sunday for an admission fee is not
an indictable offense or a common
law nuisance" Playing baseball on
Sunday or any other day is not an
amusement but a business, and a
well paid business to the players
If playing baseball is not an offense
against the Sunday law in Tonnes
see, why not keep open the picture
shows, the theatres and every other
business that may come under the
head of amusements to those pay
ing for them. Either Mr.. Albert G
Ewing's opinion or the law in Ten,
nessee is not worth the paper il
takes to write or print them on
for Sunday baseball is in conflict
with any higher opinion Of the sa,
eredness of Sunday as the day sci
apart for rest and worship.

No wonder the niger loves the
watermelon, for both are natives Of
Africa. The watermelon plant suf-
fers more from a disease which
blights the foliage and spots the
fruit and for which the Department
Of Agriculture recommends spray
ing with the Bordeaux mixture 1t
is said that the disease appears Of
tenest when when the fruit is near
ly grown and the vines should be
sprayed just as soon as the leaf
spots appear. In any case it is said
to be advisable to make the first
spr aging two weeks before maturity
and the second a week later. The
Bordeaux mixture is made Of cop
per sulphate A pounds. quick lime
A pounds in so gallons Of water.
The copper sulphate should be put
into a town sack and suspended be-
low the surface of several gallons Of
water in a clean barrel and it will
require three or four hours to dis
solve. Then remove the sack and
add enough water to make exactly
rs gallons Of the copper solution.
Slack the lime slowly and thorough
ly in a clean barrel, add enough wa
ter to make Is gallons, after which
pour the two parts Of Is gallons
each into another barrel. 1t is nee
essary that both should be thor
oughly strained before they are
combined and that the mixture be
stirred well before being used. Do
not put copper sulphate or Bor-
deaux mixture into tin or iron YES
sells but use copper c~ontaines or
wooden vessels. The proportion
can be reduced Of course.

The strawberry crop in all West
Tennessee counties which have gone
into that culture this year, has been
fine, but the bottom fell out Of the
prices and the growers are now rec
ognizing the necessity Of reducing
the acreage. A comparatively small
berry crop, like the cotton crop, Is
worth more money than a large

a strawberry patch is not expected
to bear more than one or two sea-

many people who claim they are so
busy they cannot grow strawberries,
but this argument will not apply to
the raspberry, which every one has
