ROBBERS FORCE
ENTRANCE INTO
TWO JOY BANKS


At 7:30 this morning Bert David
son, hardware dealer at Joy, dis
covered the doors Of the Farmers
bank ajar and q heavy hammer ly-
ing outside. He Immediately went
to the Joy bank and found that the
doors there had also been forced
open and the interior Of the bank
was in confusion. He Immediately
summoned the officers of the
bank, who notified Sheriff Flem-
ing of Aledo.
Upon the arrival Of Fleming It
was discovered that the combina-
ton had been drilled off the vault
and the door drilled through In the
Farmers bank, but nothing had
been taken by the robbers, as they
had been unable to throw the lock.
The vault Of the Joy bank was
found to have been opened and a
few bonds and a little cash taken.
The safe at the Joy bank was not
opened. Explosives were found in
the bank which had not been used.
Blood stairs found on the door and
vaults ST both banks indicate that
some parties had handled both jobs
and one of them had been injured
at the first bank entered, which is
thought to have been the Joy bank.
Several citizens of Joy think that
they heard a car leave Joy between
2:3O and 3 o'clock this morning.
Otherwise no unusual noise is re-
ported having been heard during
the night. The tools used in fore
ing the doors of the two banks were
taken from the blacksmith shop of
Joe Jackson.
A finger print expert from Mon
mouth was summoned this morn
ing to photograph the finger prints
found in both banks. Officials Of
the banks stated that they believed
the jobs to have been done by pro-
fessionals.

ONE DAY OF GRACE
REMAINS FOR LAX
WATER TAXPAYERS

Moline residents are being warn
ed to pay their water rents today
as the per cent penalty for de-
layed payment becomes effective
tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. A
majority of the bills have already
been paid, according to Miss Anna
Peterson, city clerk. She does not,
therefore, expect to receive many
penalties.
Despite previous announcement.
over-payments are still being
made by householders who mistake
the bill plus the penalty for the
total amount due the city and pay
more than the actual bill for ser
vice. These mistakes occur only
in bills sent by mail as the city
clerk has been able to forestall
such mistakes when the bills are
paid at the city hall. Large sums
are being refunded every day to
householders who have made over
payments.

Chicago. Nov. 1S-Wheat prices
rallied today after . deliberate out
set. Word that . large amount Of
export business had been done yes

chief bu1lfsh factor. whereas bear
ish financial and economic condi-
lions were ascribed - reasons for
the initial weakness. Opening quo

1851 and March It LII to LIN.
were followed BY . material fur
Their setback. and then by sharp
upturns.
Subsequently, decided, fresh
breaks took place, owing appar-
emily to a big downward swing In
the value Of feedstuffs, and to re-
ports Of enlarged country offerings
of wheat. The close was nervous,
Sc to &c net lower, with December,
$1.S0h to $1.80x, and March.
1891 to $1.69A.
Corn dropped to new low price
record for the season, but rallied
somewhat when wheat developed
strength. Large stocks in growers
hands counted as a depressing in
fiuence. After opening 1sc to &c
off. including December at Tic to
71hc, the market sagged further
before beginning to recover.
Later, general liquidation by
holders set in, and both corn and
oats fell to new low figures on the
crop. Prices closed unsettled, 1kc

Oats we're easy with corn, start
