Trattner says this waa the Drat "Job" the gang executed. The ease with which Trattner and Doran secured M from Jaeger and Mlsa Welt ao emboldened them that they soon made a econd holdup and then continued until caught laat Wednesday evening.

Vandewell and Cleveland Kemp bare been found guilty In police court, where they were arraigned - on the charge of highway robbery. They were bound over to the district court on a bond of H.J00 each. The charge was they took n from Carl Hitlers at Fifteenth and Davenport streets a few days ago, Intimi dating Hlllere with a knife.

Bald "Old King Cole" (that "merry old soul," the oyster snd celery man), "the cold snap has Increased the consumption of oysters 1 00 'per cent" He said It with considerable glee and forthwith wired to Baltimore for double shipments, being en oouraged by the season of the year to believe it might be even colder before It Is much warmer. King Cole also had other things to say: "I never saw such a scarcity of chickens before at this season of the year. No; I do not think It Is s case of pips, but rather of corn. The farmer never looks after his poultry and butter Interests to the fullest, ssve when his crops are poor. He la so stuck on himself and bis wondrous corn crop at this time that be doemi't care to sell his chickens, hsvlng pin money enough for the wife and girls, corn enough to feed thfl stock and poultry and feeling Just rich enough to live on yellow legged chickens himself. We are selling chickens at 13 otnta a pound to grocers. TurkeysT Yea, we are receiving a few, but not many. Of course we will have plenty for Thanks giving, but they are going to be expensive for the same reason that chickens are scarce farmers going to eat them. Corn crop too big for a aalt pork diet this year. Turks are going to the grocers at IS cents s pound." With the opening of the season prairie chickens are coming In with a little mors freedom, but the demand Is decidedly lively at $4 a dosen wholesale.
