If the young ma a who Is "trying" to
learn the newspaper business , attended
to his own business half as zealouely as
he does to the business of other news
paper offices , ho would not bavo lot the
Globe icoop him so badly on the bur

The Methodists are talking of buying
property on Oakland avenue for the pur-
posa of a parsonige. The move Is a good
ono , and there seems a good prospect of
Us being carried to a successful comple
tion. Unner the Itineracy system of that
denomination , the ministers can stay atone
ono place no longer than three years at
the most , and these frequent moves make
It peculiarly fitting that the chnrchai
\ \ should provide parsonages and some of
the heavier furnishings ,
Tbo fellow who la "trying" to learn the
newspaper busmen , Is still hot became
he cannot do something to hurt the BEE ,
Thn only thing that ho has effected In
thU waywas when ho Induced the BEE
once tD give him a little employment ,
nndor tbo prater a 8 that he know some
thing about the newspaper bnilneea.
Just how the engagement ended , and
other facts in the young man's history
might ba Interesting reading to those
who do not know him as well as the BEE
docs ,
Mrs. Valller , wife of Alex Vallier , one
of the oldest residents of Hazel Del !
township , has just passed away , old age
and Infirmities being the cause of death.
She lacked but twenty days of leaching

hero since 1851 , hnvlng come hero from
Canada , She leaves betides her husband ,
eight children. The funeral will bo hold
at the family residence this morning a <
10 o'clock.
There are plans on foot for furnishing
the needed water supply for the cemetery
tory , and the water works company will
probably lay pipes , so as to anpply c
fountain and to furnish water for the
various purposes for which It is so much
needed , in the summer tlmo especially ,
It Is suggested that the city , which has
several fountains yet to locate , have
ono of thorn placed in the cemetery , and
this can easily bo so arranged that from
this water can bo carried to various parts
of the grounds ,
The attempt of ono of the light-weight
reporters to make ont that there Is
trouble brewing In the otgar makers
union , aoema to flash in the pan , like
most of his efforts , the facts being too
strongly sgilnat him. The manufac
turers and workers acorn to got along
harmoniously , with the exception of two
or three men , and the union makes no
appeal in their behalf , while the manu
facturers glvo very good reasons for not
choosing to employ them ,

DON'T ' WANT TO AIR IT ,
Tno Triplets Want to Play Hush
About the St. Joe Houao Affair.
The caco of Matt Kuhl , of the St. Joe
House , Traa called up before Justice
Fralnoy yeiterdsy and , no wan expected ,
traa dismissed. Thlsaotionwlll strengthen
the feeling that the "triplets" were the
ones most to blame for the disgraceful
row that occurred at a late hour last Sat
urday night at the St. Joe House. The
action of the iuatico In having the case
brought bcforo himself , when from all
reports ho wai ono of the parties
most Interested In getting Mr.
Kuhl punished , has awakened much
sharp criticism , and It la Intimated that
the matter will not bo allowed to rest
there. If there had been a real assault
upon the justice himself and his friends ,
and there had been just cause for action ,
even then It would seem very bad taste ,
to say the least for him , to Issue the war
rant himself and prepare to hear the case
himself. Much worse is It if , as la
claimed , the justice and hla friends were
the aggressors. In view of the circum
stances It Ecoms that the trio , if
not to blame , would have been
anxious to hare the details of the
affair shown np In an official examina
tion. The abandonment of the prosecu
tion of the case looks bad. The circum
stances may bo brought ont yet , as the
county board Is yet to pass upon the bill
of costs , which the justice will expect
the county to pay. Whether the tax
payers will feel like taking the money
out of their pocketa to pay for this fun
of "tho triplets. " If they do pay the
bill the beard will doubtless ? lve the
public the satisfaction of the exact facts
as to how the cases were made up. The
dropping of the case In Jfralnoy's court
should by no moans bo the dropping of
the case entirely.

The Chicago Tribune on Saturday last

A Washington dispatch says : Hon ,
J. B , Grinnoll , of Iowa , who was ap
pointed ! agent of the bureau of animal
Industiy , connected with the agricultural
department , has written an. Interesting
report on the "Cattle Interests west oi

months time to the investigation and

riages and by railway through the west

NIGHT PROWLERS ,
Th&yTry & Safe-Stowing In VainBnt ,
Get a Big Feast ,
Their Workings.
Thcro is evidently a gang of hard cues
st'll ' lingering nbout the city , improving
every opportunity to plunder. Yester
day morning tome fresh evidences were
diicovored. Halo Hntohlnaon , the book
keeper for L , Hammer , on opening the
oflico of the lumber yard found that someone
ono had boon there before him , The roar
door had boon forced open , and the bnr-
glara liad qulto thoroughly ranaackod the
place , opening all drawers and icattorlng
papers and books about In confusion ,
They had also been at work on the safe ,
and cnrlontly had foiled themselves. Mr ,
Hammer has had his safe attacked
several times during the paat few years ,
and has wisely concluded to keep it un
locked , rather than have It bored and
blown , it having boon onoo so broken as
to nocotsltato ezponslvo repairs. As
nsnal ho left the safe unlocked , and was
careful not to leave any valuables in it.
The thieves , however , instead of * simply
opening It began to try the combination
lock , and unwittingly looked It , They
began to drill a hole and succeeded in
getting a hole nearly through , when , for
some unknown reason , they gave op the
task , and left , securing nothing.
The store of R. P. Snow was also
visited , and considerable plunder taken.
An entrance was gained by the roar door ,
a staple being wrenched off , and then
the inner doors being unfastened by
means of a aorowdriver , which was shov
ed through a crack , and the bar raised by
this. The fellows helped themselves at
their leisure , the plunder consisting
mostly of canned goods , tobacco , oto. ,
two or three articles of clothing
which wore hanging np in
the Btoro , ono of the follows
taking the pains to leave an old overcoat
of his own in exchange for one he tound
there which suited him bettor. The aafo
was opened and a number of notes taken
but they were old overdue ones , which
were not considered of any great valno
except as bits ol ancient history. Mr.
Snow thinks his total loss Is not to ex
ceed $7& .
About ono o'clock yesterday morning
Gene Mottaz , the watchman , found in
ono of the Wabash freight cars in the
yards three fellows , and ho drove them
ont. In doing so he sent the dog into
the car , and soon after the fellows ,
whom ho thought wore tramps , had
cleared out , the dog seemed to bo enjoy
ing a foaatof some sort , and investigation
showed the remnants of a feast which
the trio had been having , and
which proved to bo the remains of some
of the goods taken from Snow's store.
There was a new basket filled with pro
visions , canned meat , sardines , pickles ,
jelly , salmon , etc. , and the marks on the
balf emptied cans were those of Mr.
Snow.
This discovery was not made nntil It
was too late , but the police on being no
tified hunted np three suspicions looking
fellows , and locked them np , but there
was nothing to identify them as the ones.
