and 4:30 this morning, visiting anC

George Kalamakis, fruit and gro
ceries; John Fassol, Central Pharma-
cy; A. L. Johnson, gents furnishings;
Clennie Roberts, jr., Daylight Cafe;
and the New York restaurant, D. D.
Spiridis, proprietor.
At George Kalamakis's store the
thieves broke a small piece of glass
from the window in the rear of the
building, large enough to put a hand
in and unfasten the sash lock and open
the window. In this store they open
ed the safe and cash drawer, secur-
ing $1.13 in cash, and taking valuable
papers from the safe. Three drawers
inside the safe were removed and car
ried away with the papers mentioned
above. These papers were in the form
of deeds, tax receipts, etc., of no value
to any one but their owner. 1t is prob
able that they were dumped and left
somewhere about town. Mr.. Kalama-
kis was in his store at ITO this morn
ing, after day in Tampa.
At Fassol's place the thieves enter
ed by rear window after having re-
moved pane of glass. A quantity
of drugs sitting in and near the win
dow, in many bottles, was removed
from the place in order to make room
for entering, by throwing the bottles
on the ground outside. These bottles
We're recovered this morning. They
contained valuable drugs. The thieves
opened the three or four cash regis
tiers in this place, taking all the cash,
amounting to SIS or $40. They also
carried away about $40 worth of valu.
able prizes, some of them cash, from
the punch board. This store was oc-
cupied by the proprietors up to 1870
this morning.
At Johnson's clothing store the
burglars opened the rear window by
breaking the glass, reaching hand
inside and unfastening the sash lock.
Here the cash register was robbed of
$35. Two checks in the register were
left undisturbed.
At the Daylight Cafe, entrance was
made through a screen door at the
rear. Only two cents was in the
money drawer when the place was
closed for the night. Small favors
were not ignored, and the two cents
was taken.
At the New York restaurant, en-
trance was made by the back door
which was opened with key About
$40 was taken from the cash register
here, while papers were scattered
about on the floor in a search for 9th
err valuablcs.
At none of the places mentioned did
the thieves take goods, save at the
Central Pharmacy, where, as men
toned above, valuables used as prizes

Opening Session.

grand duke of Saxe-Weimar-E isenach,
the town became center of liberal
ism as we'll as art. It's most import
ant building is the palace, described
as "a huge structure forming three
sides of quadrangle, erected (1T39-
1909 under the superintendent Of
Goethe" only a remnant of which,
however, with tower, is still stand
ing.
1t contains a series of rooms dedi-
Gated to the poets Goethe, Schiller
Herder and Wieland, all of which are
decorated lavishly with mural paint
ings. Nearby is the house where
Goethe lived from 1882 to 1882, a
kcme of luxury for that day, built as
ia gift to the poet by Charles Angus
tus and presented to him by his pa
iron upon Goethe's return from his
| Italian tour.
Houses with high pitched gables
and roofs give the town picturesque
appearance, while the narrow winding
streets Of the older portion of the
place, and the vestings of the medic
val walls, continually remind the Wis
itor of it's historic character. The
Stadtkirche, or parish house of wor-
ship, a Gothic structure dating from
about 400, is a building of rare in
terest. 1t has been slightly modern
lied but enough of the original edifice
remains to show it's age and classic
outlines. :
Among the notables whose tombs,
are beneath its roof are those of the
princes of Sake eimar-Eisenach in,
Icluding the elector John Frederick the
Magnanimous and his wife, and Duke
Bernhard Of Weimar, a hero of the
Thirty Years war. "The altar piece
lis a triptych," one writer says, 'the
center pieces representing the cruel
| fixion; beside the cross stands Martin
Luther, an open Bible in his hand,
while the blood from the pierced side
of the Savious pours upon his head"
Another ancient church is the ia
kobs of Hofkircher, or court church,
whose disused cemetery contains the
graves of Lucas Cranach, the artist,
and Johann Musaeus, author of Ger
man folk lore. Another burial ground
contains the grand ducal family vault,
in which Goethe and Schiller also lie,
side by side, Bronze statues of both
poets, the work of Rietschel, and
grouped on one pedestal, stand in
front of the site of a theatre built in
1926 under the direction of Goethe,
time memorable as the golden age
of German drama" Here many of
Wagner's compositions were first Civ
en- to the world. In 1907 the old struc-
ture was replaced by new building.
The genius of Goethe and Schiller
characterize Wiemar in other forms of
civic beauty. Goethe, some years be-
fore his death, laid out large public

CORN MARKET TAXES.
 ON EARLY ADVANCE.
 ON FOREIGN NEWS.
Oats Also Finished Up, While the Provisions List Made a Jump of
 22c to 55c
Rv Assnniaied Press

Chicago, June 21.-Greater optimism that Germany would sign the peace treaty led to fresh advances today in the corn mar ket The close was nervous, 34 to 27s net higher with July 1.S2 to 1S21z and Sep tember 176B to 176as.
 Oats finished s4 to 1a1ls up. and pro- visions at gains of p to 55c.
 Although realizing sales on the part of holders checked any tendency toward a radical bulge in values, the corn market showed evident strength throughout the day Attention focused chiefly on de, velopments regarding the treaty, but there was additional incentive to buy on ac- count of sharp upturn in quotations on hogs. Besides country offerings as rule were held slightly above the mar ket. Weekend adjustment of trades con- tributed likewise an element of strength. Accordingly, the most active purchasing and highest prices of the day prevailed as the session came to an end.
 Oats displayed independent firmness. owing to the fact that the crop was at a critical stage and that shorts wished to avoid open commitments over Sun day. Provisions were lifted by peace news and by the rise of hogs and grain. Scarcity of offerings on the way up counted too as a bullish factor. The best demand was for lard.

Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 21.-Trading has been fairly active with the cotton market showing strength early on prospects of peace, but later weakening on renewed rumors that Germany would refuse to sign. Later, however, the loss was re- covered on continued demand through trade houses and fresh buying by out side interests with covering scattered local shorts The weather map was re- garded as favorable but had very little influence. There is some talk of a large line of speculative long contracts held by leading Wall street interest and es- timated around 5000 bales, which local traders think might come out some day and cause a sharp break. We have no doubt that the market is speculative long. but if the trade, as seems to be the case is ready to absorb offerings on such moderate declines, the prospect of any important or permanent recession does not seem good.-Post & Flagg

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, June 21.--Further stringency in the call money market and the i'm minence of the signing of the peace treaty with it's confusing developments in Ger many, were the primary factors of this weeks uncertain stock market, the money situation causing a sharp but temporary recession of prices.
 Losses were generally recovered later. when call loans were restored to rela- lively normal rates, but great caution was manifested by the trading element as evidenced by the reduced dealings, these, however, averaging we'll over the million share mark.
 The greater part of the buying was again credited to interior interests main ly western and southwestern, local opera tors inclining more towards the short side
 Oils, motors and their subsidiaries and feathers and tobacco made up a large percentage of the trading, pools continu- ing to favor those issues.
 Revival of speculative interest was also seen in the secondary transportation and numerous food, chemical and fertilizer shares. Texas and Pacific led the entire railway group, selling at the highest price since its reorganization and Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas represented the other strong minor calls. Prominent steel industrials rallied from last weeks lower levels, with equipments and metals, favorable trade reviews.

New York, June 21.-There were no fresh features of importance in to- days cotton market. The selling came largely from parties long of the market on speculation and the buying was chiefly for trade account.
