Rohberr at Harla-Haas' TrVarehoase.
Thieves broke Into the building occupied
by the Harle-Haaa Drug company on
South Main street Sunday night and car
ried away goods of minor value. Among
the plunder stolen were several small rifles
used for prises 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
laid in wait for some time for the thieves,
they did not show up again. The thieves
effected an entrance to the building through
a rear transom snd 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
glars were in there. Summoning assistance
the building 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.

Twenty thousand people, it Is estimated,
visited Wallace's circus, which showed
here yesterday. 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 so great that several hundred people
had to be content with improvised seats
on straw spread in the ring. ,
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. '

J. E. Barrltt of Crescent township drove
In with his wife yesterday to see the circus
and Incidentally to do some shopping. He

REPORTS ON ASSESSMENTS
Prtctically All of tie Counties Hare Fat
Up the Valuations.
FEW DELIBERATELY SHIRK TAX BURDEN
Indications Are that the Increase la
Assessment Valuations of State
Will Be Three Hundred
Million.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la., June 22.-(8peelal.)
The state auditor has rece'ved reports from
Seventy-eight of the county auditors of the
state on the abstract of assessment for
the year 1903. These reports bear out the
estimated valuation based on the earliest
of the reports received and Indlcato that
the total valuation of the state has been
put up about 3300.000,000 this year. ' The re
ports from all the larger counties with
the exception of Linn and Polk have been
received. The increase in assessments has
been general over the state, though the re
ports Indicate that In a small proportion
of the counties the assessments have been
deliberately kept down to the old standard
In order to avoid 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 baslh. The reports must all
be In before the first of next month when
there will be complete tabulation of the
same and the council will be ready for
the work of equalization. In the city of
Dee Moines, where the local assessors put
up the assessments of all kinds In ac
cordance with the advance In. prices, the
county board reduced assessments more
than $1,500,000 In the city alone and failed
to make any raise at any place.
SnTt 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 organised 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 Iowa 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.

bunches of angle worms as big as a bias
ball lying In damp places In the street.
They He perfectly still until stirred up
and then they squirm sround and are very
much alive.
An Idea of the tremendous force of the
current mny be had by a look at the ele
vated railway structure west of Woods
street. The Iron beams are snapped Off
as If they were glass and Iron rods are
twisted and bent Into all sorts of shapes.
At Ewlng 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 was. found near the
viaduct hanging high and dry above the
water on the few planks that remained
of the wall of a barn. At one piano an
Iron 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 A Flarshelm Whole
sale Grocery company's building at 1317-19
St. Louis avenue. It Is a four-story struc
ture. Tho entire back end of this building
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 building, ss It now stands, looks ns
if a huge knife had dropped upon it and
severed It side to side.
C. A. Rocdlger. who lived at 508 Shawnee
avenue, Armourdale, tried to find his home.
It was a well-built story-and-a-half house,
comparatively new. The lot on which It
has stood was vacant. Mr. Roedlger 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
looked, and the contents. Including two
hsavy stoves, were Intact. In order to
reach Its new location, the house had
vaulted over a high board fence.
The worst washout in the west bottoms
Is on Santa Fe street. From Long Bros.'
grocery store on St. Louis avenue clear
north above Eighth street It Is washed
out the whole width of th street and from
ten to twenty feet deep. Across this chasm
the rails, with ties attached, hang like
suspension brldres. The Ornnd Island

A fierce current swept down Mulberry

PRESENT DAY NEWSPAPERS
Conditions In Journalism Showing
Marked Chnnoves and Im
provements. "In America," said Wordsworth to Emer
son, when the two poets were discussing
our country together, "I wish to know not
how many churches or schools, but how
many newspapers." Poets o'ten strike out
brilliant criticisms. Wordsworth, long be
fore the press had become what it now is,
saw Its Importance In the development of
our people. The newspaper Is the char
acteristic expression of contemporary
thought. The skill snd Intelligence em
ployed upon the editorial pages of our
leading newspapers Is 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 not Into liter
ary, artlstlo or dramatic criticism, as it
docs, for Instance, in Paris, but into tho
handling of the news and the expression of
edltolal opinion. The srts are, thus far.
t least, not our main concern. We are
more occupied with the Interests of the
many than with the refinements of the
few. The reading public here Is the mil
lion, as It Is In no other land. Democracy,
In our sense, where millions read, think
and vote, la new In the world, and our
concern is to reflect, guide and clarify It,
mueh more than to make art along estab
lished lines. Newspapers, every year
cheaper, reach a public every yenr bigger.
A Justice of the supreme court of the
United States has Just given out the opin
ion that the press. In enabling us every
day to know our fellow citizens through
out the land, has removed antipathies and
misunderstandings, increased our sympa
thies snd helped us to realize the purpose
announced In the constitution, "to form
a more perfect union." He slso sees in
the press a powerful Influence toward the
solution of our many and deep social prob
lems, especially by bringing them before
the court of public opinion, a "court of in
creasing wisdom and power, mightier than
any organized tribunal." The newspapers
have their faults like Individuals. Some
sre controlled by money, like municipal
councils Some are vulgarly subservient
to the untrained, like many politicians.
But they are Improving. One of the
greatest and most successful was. a short
time ago, of the deepest saffron. Today,
with some sensationalism left, It has aban
doned Inaccuracy and violence. Among
Journalists it it now deemed the most com
plete snd veracious dally newspaper In
its city, in news service, with the most
Interesting page of editorial opinion. Its
position is strengthening, snd Its former
rival, now alone in the yellowest field. Is
every day losing Its hold Collier's Weekly.

FORT DODGE. Ia., June 22.-(Speclal
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, wore asleep Inside. The family
escaped injury, as the sleeping rooms were
In the front part 'of the building, while the
kitchen, In the rear, was wrecked by the
explosion.
Lewis 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 by1 Lewis'
employment with the company.
Hour to Choose Cheese.
Most housekeepers quail before that part
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 a the critic, .would always
buy It. Such may And 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.
If It yields readily to the pressure of the
fingers, and the rind breaks, or does not
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 acid, or both. At best, it will
have an Insipid flavor, and will 'go 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 he mellow to the
touch, yet firm. Its rind will be of an
even tint, elastio and free from puffs and
the sample will reveal Arm, 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 three
yard dogs on the inside. The woman of
the house appeared on the front gallery
and said sweetly: "Come in, Uncle Primus,
come in; the dogs won't bite you."
With a broad grin lighting up his cheer
ful face. Uncle Primus replied: "I knows
dey won't bite me. Missus, 'cause I sho'
ain't comln' In." Llpplncott's Magazine.
