BOLD HOUSE BURGLARY.
Home of Mrs. Ella Sims Entered and
Ransacked Between 6 and z O'clock
Thursday Evening.

Probably as bold ease of robbery
yet associated with the long life of
Mineral Point took place last Thursday
evening about $50. 1t was committed
at the home of Mrs. Ella Sims located
on the corner at the head of the bust
ness section of High street near the
M. +. church. At the time supper
was being held at the church, and as
the weather was fine large number
turned out. IN consequence the COM
ing and going past the residence was
much greater than ordinary.
i Mrs. Sims and Mrs. Woolrich. the
latter residing in part of the house,
were out spending the afternoon with
a friend When it was time for sup
per they went to the church instead of
going home. After partaking of sup
per, they in company with one or two
other ladies, left the church for Mrs.
Spratler's home. In proceeding thus
1T WAS necessary to pass the Sims
residence, and as they did Mrs Sims
observed through the glass of the front
door light in the rear rooms upstairs
Thereupon the women went in, Mrs.
Woolrch unlocking the door. This was
very shortly after $50 Upon going
upstairs they found that closets, draw
ers, boxes, etc, had been thoroughly
ransacked and articles scattered pro-
miseuously on the floors of the different
rooms, but nobody there. Investigation
down stairs revealed like perform
ance there. Boxes containing some
jewelry of the ladies of the house had
been brought down stairs and was laid
on table, together with some silver
ware and valuable lunchcloth; nobody
around back door open. Nothing has
been found missing except some money.
Excitement in that vicinity was SUI
preme at once. The city marshal was
on hand promptly, yet ncthing could be
done, there being no clue whatever by
which to proceed. City officials wired
Rockford for blood hounds and two
were here by the next noon and put to
work. Three times the hounds insisted
on going 10 house in which man and
wife lived, located a considerable dis
lance from the scene Of the robbery.
Up to this time nothing further has
been done other than D little quizzing
by law ofliciaIs. Further action is
awaited with interest by citizens in
general and there is unanimous hope
that the thief will be uncovered and
duly punished.

members of the school board of educa-
ton be elected by the people or APP
poif,ted by the mayor, caused be-
tween four and five hundred women
to rally The question was carried in
favor of the elective system by 267
majority. The ballots showed, how
ever. that had the women not voted
the result would have been the same.
Mere women than men voted in the

sec0sid ward. This was the first time
our better halves" rallied to the bal
lot lsox on big election day and few
amcsing Incidents happened at their
expense Some were so confused, we
don't like to say ratified, that they left
umbrellas. wraps, gloves, feathers,
etc. in the election booths. All were
recovered, however, by the process of
coming back after them. And you
ought to shave seen the gallantry of
the election officers. 1t would make a
good five or six reel picture show.
The county was carried by the Re-
publicans, ranging in majorlties well
up in the hundreds, I. M. Priestley,
the Democratic candidate for District
Attorney, being the only exception.
He is elected by majority of 210.
The Prohibition vote though not
large showed steadfastness in adher-
ence to conviction.

 II takes time for any new company to establish a clientele. and the Lorch company became established here much quicker than Is the usual history { in stock The reason Is that all are workers and each department is looked after with minute care.
 Mir. Lorch is not only ohe of the best stock men in the country. but recog- nized actor Of exceptional ability. and his portrayal of such roles as ''Dr Jekyll and Mir Hyde" puts him in a i class with the leaders of the stage
 He is surrounded with an excep- tionally well balanced and clever cast. and the mounting of the plays Is on a par with the metropolitan road pro- ductions
 The company is working extra hard right now on the big production of What Happened to Mary" which goes on next Monday. and when that goes over with the same effect as Under 1 Cover" 'Dr Jekyll and Mir Hyde" and "A Pair of Sizes" the Lorch company will be so firmly planted.
