amount OF loot, recognized by spe-
cial agents OF the Frisco railroad as
part OF a shipment stolen in the

The recovered goods consisted Of
10 pairs OF ladies shoes, large

OF pairs OF mems field boots Local
officers are OF the opinion that the
recent raids on the box cars in the
local yards is not confined to any
one set Of organized thieves, but
that there are several such gangs
working here.
The railroads have suffered a
large loss OF goods here In the past
few months and with the arrest OF
one OF the employees OF the road last
last week. II was thought that the
robberies would cease. Since then,
more robberles have been commit
ted, which has caused the officers TO
believe that other gangs are at
work. An extra fdrce OF guards
has been placed in the yards by
the railroad with the hope OF stop
ping the numerous robberies.
Some time last night, thieves en-
tered the Christian and Baptist
churches and the new park pavilion
and made away with all OF the heat
ing stoves in these places. No trace
OF the robbers or the stoves has
been found, and officers believe that
the stolen goods have been taken
out OF town to be sold.

CITES EARTH'S Ia MOVEMENTS
FIammarion, French Astronomer, Emu
merates Various Activities OF Globe
During Its Travels.

The fact that our earth in its voyage
through space has no fewer than four
teen distinct movements has been
pointed out by the French astronomer
and scientist, Camille Flammarion, ac-
cording to an article in the Paris
Temps. These are as follows:
"Daily rotation, annual revolution.
fiuctuation or rocking due to the pre-
cession of the equinoxes in period Of
26,765 years. monthly movement OF the
earth around the center OF gravity
of the earth-moon couple; mutation
caused by the attraction Of the moon
every eighteen and half years; varia-
ton, coming once every century. Of
the obliquity Of the ecliptic; variations
every century Of the eccentricty Of the
terrestrial orbit; displacement Of the
line of apses every 21,OOO years; dis
turbances caused by the constantly
changing attraction Of the planets; dis
placement Of the center Of gravity OF
the solar system around which the
earth travels annually, this center be-
ing determined by the variable posi-
tions Of the planets; perpetual varia'
ton of ATTITUDES; daily tides Of the
continental soil; displacement Of the
whole Milky Way. of which our sun
is one star, toward the constellation
Of Capricorn. at the formidable speed
Of 375 miles per second, or 1,2oO.OOO
miles per hour"
