Robbery at Harle-Haas' ‘Warehouse, Thieves broke into the bullding occupled by the Harle-Haas Drug company on South Main street Sunday night and car- rled away goods of minor value. Among the plunder stolen were several small rifies used for prizes with certain patent goods, and several boxes of cigars. Policemen making the rounds of the alleys discovered a quantity of goods stacked on the rear platform, which the thieves evidently in- tended to return for. Although the police |1ald tn wait for some time for the thieves, | they did not show up again. The thieves | effected an entrance to the buflding through |a rear transom and then opened the door leading into the alley. The fact that the lights were not burning in the store of the Cole-Brelsford Hard- ware company on Main street caused the officer on the beat to suspect that bur- glare were in there. Summoning assistance the bullding was surrounded, but all doors were found to be locked. Investigation yesterday morning showed that everything was Intact and that the clerk whose duty it was had forgotten to light the gas. Matters in District Court, M. H. Hegarty, a citizen of Neola, after pleading guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace of the little burg by using pro- fane and Indecent language, considered that the fine of $50 and costs imposed upon him | by Mayor H. L. Robertson, before whom he had his hearing, was excessive and ap- pealed to the dlstrict court, the papers be- ing filed yesterday. Hegarty's appeal bond was placed at $200. W. H. Fickel and N. 8. Sturgeon, part- ners in the real estate business, began sult in the district court vesterday against James Bone of this city to recover $600 commission for the sale of a farm in Mills county. They allege that when Bone placed the property in their hands for sale he | agreed that they were to receive all above $40 an acre that they might be able to dis- pose of the farm for. They allese that they so0ld the farm for $42.50 an acre and that the purchaser pald that amount to Bone. Cireus Draws Big Crowd. Twenty thousand people, it is estimated, visited Wallace's circus, which showed here vesterday. The immense tent in which the main show is located has a seat- ing capacity of close upon 10,000 people, and at both performances it was taxed to its utmost capacity. In the evening the crowd was S0 great that several hundred people had to be content with improvised seats on straw spread in the ring. i It was the first big circus to show in Council Bluffs for nine years and the day was an ideal one. Early in the morning the people began gathering in town from the country and the streets were thronged during the parade, which was generally conceded to be the best ever seen in this city. The performance was also thoroughly first-class in every respect and superior to anything seen here for many years, Thieves Replenish Wardrobe. J. E. Barritt of Crescent township drove in with his wife yesterday to see the circus and incidentally to do some shopping. He purchased a new suit of clothes, which he left in the buggy while he went into the Neumayer hotel for his wife. When he was ready to start home he discovered that some enterprising thief had stolen the suit of clothes. Many Teachers at Institute.

FEW DELIBERATELY SHIRK TAX BURDEN Indications Are that the Increase in Assessment Valuations of State ‘Wil Be Three Mundred Millfon, (From a Btaft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Ia., June 22.—(Special)— The state auditor has rece'ved reports from seventy-elght of the county auditors of the state on the abstract of assessment for the yoar 1903. These reports bear out the estimated valuation based on the eariiest of the reports recelved and indicate that the total valuation of the state has been put up about $300,000,000 this year. The re- ports from all the larger counties with the exception of Linn and Polk have been | recelved. The increase in assessments has been general over the state, though the re- ports indicate that in a small proportion of the countles the assessments have been deliberately kept down to the ‘old standard in order to avold the burden of state taxes. Reports received by the executive council on the real estate transfers and assess- ments, for comparison, show that In a majority of the counties of the state there is an honest effort to comply with the law on the matter of raising assessments to the 100 per cent basis. The reports must all be in before the first of mext month when there will be complete tabulation of the same and the councll will be ready for the work of equalization. In the city of Des Moines, where the local assessors put | up the assessments of all kinds in ac- cordanco with the advance in,prices, the county board reduced Assessments more than $1,500,000 in the city alone and fafled to make any raise at any place. Save Mutual Telephone Company. The city council of Des Moines this morning _effected a settlement with the Mutual Telephone company—a matter that has been pending a long time. The Mu- tual was organized a few years ago as an Independent company, but was badly man- aged, and today, although it has about 2,600 *phones In operation, the company is practically bankrupt. The council today agreed to repeal the regulating ordinance and allow the company to operate under the general state law like the lowa com- pany, and the company will pay the back taxes. This will enable it to be reorganized | on a safe basis. There was fear that the company would be absorbed by its rival and there would be only one company her. Elks' Carnival Opens. The annual earnival of the Des Moines lodge of Elks openec today under favorable clrcumstances, but' with very light at fendance from out of the city. The Elks' members gave a parade with six bands and about 600 in line, and in the afternoon and evening at the base ball park gave an ex- hibition.

Just when they belleved their efforts had succeeded, however, the company receded from its position, which had heen accepted by the strikers, and the breach is as wide as ever. Governor Cummins sald he would give what he thought a reasonable time to as- semble an efficlent police force to preserve order and would then recall the troops, whether such force had been secured or not REMEMBERS BRITISH WAR Waverly Centenarian Takes Memo- ries of 1512 Stru to Grave.

IN THE KAW RIVER DRIFT Pecullar Ravages of the Flood Revealed as the Water Recedes A Banta Fe passenger coach that was standing in the Argentine yards the Satur- day the flood began was found at Moline park down the Missour! river, All over the west bottoms one sces bunches of angle worms as big as a base ball lying in damp places In the street. They lie perfectly still until stirred up and then they squirm around and are very much allve. An Idea of the tremendous force of the current may be had by a look at the ele- vated rallway structure west of Woods | street. The iron beams are snapped off as it they were glass and fron rods are twisted and bent into all sorts of shapes. At Ewing and Central avenue an old woman sits at a tub In the street and is washing the stock of shoes from a store opposite. Around her, upon the street, are hundreds of pairs of shoes of all sizes from which she has washed the mud. A valuable saddle wag found near the viaduet hanging high and dry above tha water on the few planks that rematned of the wall of a barn. At one place an fron bed with springs on it ready for use was found standing on top of a pile of debris fifteen feet above the street The powers of the flood were demon- strated at the Seavey & Flarsheim Whole- gale Grocery company's buflding at 1317-19 St. Louls avenue. It is a four-story struc- ture. The entire back end of this bullding was undermined and crumbled into a chan- | nel cut by the water. The water coursing | down the railroad tracks in the rear struck | full force the back wall. It ran through | the cellar and dug a hole ten feet in depth. | The bullding, as it now stands, looks as |1t a huge knife had dropped upon it and | severed it side to side C. A. Roediger, who lived at 508 Shawnee avenue, Armourdale, tried to find his home. It was a well-buflt story-and-a-half house, comparatively new. The lot on which it has stood was vacant. Mr. Roediger finally | found the house half a block north and across the street. It was set squarely on the ground, flatly against the kitchen door of a friend’s house. The doors were still locked, and the contents, Including two heavy stoves, were Intact. In order to praach its new location, the house had vaulted over a high hoard fence, The worst washout In the west bottome is on Santa Fe street. From Long Bros.' grocery store on 8t. Louls avenue clear north above Eighth street it fs washed | out the whole width of the street and from } ten to twenty feet deep. Across this chasm the rails, with tles attached, hang ilke suspension bridges. The Grand Island frefght house, which faced this street, has its whole front gone. The §. L. Cnasell company, manutacturers of refrigerators. lost the whole front of its buflding and costly refrigerators are tumbling out of it. A flerce current swept down Mulberry street during the flood. Tt carried a big Santa o freight car from Its trucks and lodged it dlagonally acrose the street in front' of Dick Dros’ warehouse.

PRESENT DAY NEWSPAPERS Conditions in Journalism Showing Marked Changes and Im- provements, “In America,” sald Wordsworth to Emer- son, when the two poots were discussing our country together, “I wish to know not how many churches or schools, but how many newspapers.” Poets often strike out brilliant eriticlsms. Wordsworth, long be- fore the press had become what it now s, saw Its Importance in the development of our people. The newspaper is the char- acteristic _expression of contemporary thought. The skill and Intelligence em- ployed upon the editorial pages of our leading newspapers i greater today than the skill and Intelligence which goes into the making of books. Foreigners are some- times surprised that so many Americans, with a literary career already assured, choose journalism. The book means less here than it does In several other countries; the newspaper means more. The best work in it is anonymous. It goes mot into liter- ary, artistic or dramatic criticlsm, as it docs, for instance, in Paris, but into the handling of the news and the expression of editoial opinfon. The arts are, thus far, ot least, not our main concern. We are more occupled with the Interests of the many than with the refinements of the few. The reading public here is the mil- lion, as it 1s in no other land. Demoeracy, in our sense, where millions read, think and vote, is new In the world, and our concern is to reflect, guide and clarify it, much more than to make art along estab- lished lines. Newspapers, every year cheaper, reach a public every year bigger. A Jjustice of the supreme court of the | Urited States has just given out the opin- ‘Mn that the press, in enabling us every | day to know our fellow oitizens through- out the land, has removed antipathies and misunderstandings, increased our sympa- thies and helped us to realize the purpose announced In the constitution, “to form & more perfect union.” He also sees in the press a powerful influence toward the solution of our many and deep soclal prob- lems, especially by bringing them before the court of public opinion, a “court of fn- creasing wisdom and power, mightier than any organized tribunal” The newspapers have their faults lke Individuals. Some are controlled by money, like municipal councils Some vulgarly subservie |to the untrained, like many politicians. | But they are improving.

SUPPOSED TO BE THE WORK OF STRIKERS Man Who Occupicd it Was Continuing Work in Plant Where Others Had Walked Out and Feeling is Bitter. FORT DODGE, la, June 22.—(Special Telegram.)—The home of Henry Lewis, in Lehigh, was blown up by dynamite at an early hour this morning while the family, consisting of Lewis and wife and two small children, were asleep inside. The family escaped injury. as the eleeping rooms were in the front part’of the building, while the kitchen, in the rear, was wrecked by the explosion. Lewls has been working for the Lehigh clay works, at which a strike has been in progress for some time past. The supposi- tion is that the dynamite was placed by some one of the miners incensed by'Lewis' employment with the company. How to Choowse Che of the family marketing which relates to the purchase of cheese, and wish the man of the house, who is usually the chief con- sumer as well as the critlc, would always buy it. Such may find the words of an authority of value: “A cheese with an indication of good- ness will have an even colored, not mot- tled, rind. The moment you press your finger tips on the rind you can begin to judge of the Inferior makeup of a cheese. It it yields readily to the pressure of the fingers, and the rind breaks, or does mot spring back readily when the pressure is withdrawn, you have got a soft article, caused by the slack cooling of the curd, a want of aeld, or both. At best, it will have an insipid flavor, and will ‘g0 off' as it ages. Cheese which feels so hard that you cannot press it on the rind is either sour, salted too heavily, cooked too much, skimmed or suffering from a touch of all these compla nts. “A good cheese will be mellow to the touch, yet firm. Its rind will be of an even tint, elastic and free from puffs and the sample will reveal firm, close-grained, buttery cheese of a nutty flavor." On the Safe Side. Uncle Primus, carrying an armful of groceries, stood outside the gate watching cautiously the movements of two or thres yard dogs on the inside. The woman of the house appeared on the front gallery and sald sweetly: ‘“‘Come in, Uncle Primus, come In; the dogs won't bite you. With & broad grin Jighting up his cheer- ful face, Uncle Primus replied: knows dey won't bite me, Missus, 'cause I sho' ain’'t comin’ in."~Lippincott's Magazine.
