FINDS HIS STORE LOOTED

BOYS GIVE HIM A CHASE IN THE EVENING

Most of the Goods Are Up-corered-Boys
Are Credited
wlth the Job.
E. Pill, who conducts a small general
store at Twentieth street and Sixth avenue,
has for some time been on bad terms with
a number of boys In that neighborhood. The
boys In question have seised every oppor
tunity of annoying Pill and as far as pos
sible making life a burden to him. The cli
max was reached Thursday night when the
gang of youthful tormentors invaded his
place of business and started to raise a
rough bouse. Pill, anxious to get rid of
them, gave chase to the gang, but tbey were
too swift for him and be gave up the pur
suit. He returned to the store out of wind and
likewise short on patience, and decided to
close up the store for the night. When he
opened It up yesterday morning he discov
ered that during the night the place had
been robbed of about $80 worth of goods.
Not only had the thieves made way with a
quantity of mittens, underclothing and
canned goods, but evidence was there to
show that they had held carnival In the
place. They left traces to show that while
in the building tbey had enjoyed an Im
promptu supper of pie, canned goods and
other delicacies supplied by the atore.
Pill estimated that the goods taken from
the store amounted to about $80. With the
exception of some cheap Jewelry the police
yesterday recovered most of the stolen
goods. Part of the plunder, consisting of
the mittens and underwear, was found in a
freight car on First avenue, while the
greater part of the balance of the stolen ar
ticles was found under the electric light
tower at Twenty-first street. Borne of the
canned goods were recovered nearby on
Fifth avenue. The police are of the opin
ion that the robbery was the work of the
boys who had been tantalizing PHI, and sev
eral arrests are expected today.

Batchelor Gets a Windfall.
Theodore M. Batchelor, who recently off
ered a somewhat sensational resistance to
being evicted from the Batchelor home
stead near the city limits, Is now in po
sition where the raids ,of deputy sheriffs
will have no more terrors for him. By the
death of a relative in New York Theodore
Batchelor becomes heir to an estate of
which his portion will be at least, 140,000.
His brother, William, former owner of
the Meadow Lawn property, la also heir to
an equal amount. Mrs. William Batchelor
within the, last few weeks secured a divorce
from ber husband on the grounds of deser
tion, and therefore will not receive any
benefit from this legacy. Her children, how
ever, will participate In the amount .appor
tioned to their father.
The Batchelora were among the earliest
settlers in Pottawattamie county, first set
tling in the eastern part near .Avoca, and
later removed to this city. They came here
from New York, where they belonged to a
wealthy and prominent family.

TELEPHONE COMPANY APPEALS
Jfot Satisfied with Decision of Jadae
McPherson In Injunction
Case.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 12. (Special.) The
Iowa Telephone company will not rest con
tent with the decision of Judge McPherson
of the United States district court In the
matter of the injunction againBt strikers
Issued. by Judge Sanborn at St. Paul.
Judge McPherson threw the ease out of
court for lack of Jurisdiction. The suit was
brought not by the telephone company
proper, but by the trust company which
has a mortgage on the property. Judge
McPherson held that the interests of this
trust company In the securities of the tele
phone company were not sufficient to es
tablish Jurisdiction for this court in such
a case, but he gave the attorneys fifteen
days In which to amend their papers and
introduce evidence to show the close rela
tionship between the telephone company
and the trust company. They have chosen
not to do this, but to appeal from the
decision of Judge McPherson to the circuit
court of appeals and stand on their posi
tion taken before Judge Sanborn. If they
fall in this the case will be dropped. The
Injunction is against officers of the labor
unions to prevent them from interfering
with the telephones of the company.
Looking; for Mrs. Nellie Prince.
Sheriff Mattern of this county expects
to effect the arrest of Mrs. Nellie Prlnco

valuable sealskin coats from one of the
big stores. She and a .confederate are al
leged to have made way with the coats and
'left the city immediately and have not
been seen since. Mrs.' Prince waa formerly
well known here, having lived here with
her husband for several years. He was

Excessive Rains Had Bad Effect oa
the Farmers Some Compensa
tions Are to Be
Fonnd.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. 12. (Special.) Fol
lowing is a summary of crop reports re
ceived from the correspondents of the Iowa
Weather and Cr,op Service, showing tho av
erage yield per acre and total for the state
of staple farm products for the last season
and the average prices at the farms or near
est station December 1, 1902. As the larger
portion of the season's output will be con
sumed on the farms, and marketed In the
form of beef, pork, mutton, horses, dairy
and poultry products, etc., the actual value
of the crops Is materially higher than is
shown by the figures representing the local
prices obtainable at this time:
The Corn Crop In bulk, expressed in
bushels, the corn, crop is reported to be a
little above the ten-year average, the yield
per acre being about 34 bushels, and tho
total for the state, grown on an area of
about 8.700,0110 acres, is 296.9b0.230 bushels.
On account of the unfavorable character
of the crop season and the unusually vari
able condition of the corn crop, a special
report was called for In answer to inquiries
as to the average yield of hard and soft
corn, the percentage that Is sound and
merchantable, the lucal price of sound corn
and the feeding value of the softer portion
of the crop. The tabulated reports show
the following results of this Investigation:
Dividing the state into three sections, or
belts three counties wide, crossing eaePto
west, we find that In the northern section
(thirty counties) the sound corn is esti
mated at 2S per cent; in the central section
(thirty-eight counties) it is 48 per cent, and
in the southern section (thirty-one coun
ties) the average la 64 per cent. For the
state as a whole the average condition ap
pears to be 47 per cent sound and merchant
able, and 63 per cent graded aa soft, chaffy
or unmerchantable. The total yield , by
sections Is as follows: Northern section,
In round numbers, 73.OUO.000 bushels; central
section, 129.ouo.000 bushels; southern section,
94,000,000 bushels. ,
Aver aire Local Price.
The average local price of the sound corn
Is reported to be 35 cents per bushel and
the average feeding value of the softer
portion Is estimated at 22 cents per bushel.
This serves as a basis for estimating the
total value of the corn crop this year in
round numbers at $83,000,000. Last year the
yield waa 227,000,000 bushels and the value
$113,000.0u0. In 11)00 the total yield was
345,000,000 bushels and the value at the cur
rent prices IStf.OUO.OOU .
Wheat The acreage of winter wheat Is
small and the total yield appears to be only
825,045 bushels, an average of eighteen
bushels per acre. In spring wheat the yield
Is thirteen bushels per acre and a total of
12,680,(00 bushels. The'total yields of both
winter and spring wheat Is 13.532,845. The
quality of wheat la generally poor, on ac
count of the very wet harvest, and the
price of winter wheat Is reported to be
55 cents and spring wheat 62 cents. The
total value of the crop appears to be
$7,062,640. Last year the yield was 18,25,000
bushels and the value was $10,976,000.
Oats Suffer Greatest Damage.
Oats This crop suffered greater damage
than any other cereal from effect of excess
stve rains, snd it has been impracticable
to secure reports as to the extent of total
Jobs and the quality of the grain that was
secured In condition to repay the cost of
threshing. The returns' from' correspond
ents indicate an average' yield of thirty-one
bushels per acre -from' the' portion of the
crop that was secured and threshed. Mak
ing a liberal deduction from the acreage
illumed in each count v. we have a total
of 92.907,960 bushels, as against 114,000,000
bushels last year and 138,000,000 bushels In
1900. The average local value of this year's
product appears to be 24 centa per Dusnei
and the total $22,297,910. Iast year's oats

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life otit of doors and out of the Ramos which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, conies the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their,
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathera and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be ao carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health, of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Pleas
