Complete Trpaincnwur TVEEKLY OREGON" STATESMAN, SALEM HOUSE WAS ROBBED Oyer Two Hundred Dollars Taken From House of Wm. Wilier WENT TO WOODSHED, .HAD MONET UNDER PILLOW. WHEN CAME BACK CASH HAD DISAP PEARED HE AND WIFE ALONE ROBBERY A MYSTERY. V (From Saturday's Daily.) - A rather mysterious robbery Is re ported to have taken place yesterday morning somewhere about 7 o'clock, at the residence of Hon. Win. Miller, cor ner of Court and Collage streets, whereby Mr. Miller Is .poorer by Just $228.82. which Is the amount lost. ' The matter was reported to, the po-lR-e and an investigation made at the house and In- the room from which the money was taken, but so far as-could be learned, no clue to the robbery was discovered. ' hen seen at his home last night, Mr. Miller was very reticent concerning his loss, and said he had little to say concerning the matter except that the money was gone, and he did not know where. , .". ; ! , "I can say this much, though," he said, emphatially, "the money , was In a purse under my pillow when ,1 got up, about 7 o'clock. I went out' iri the woodshed to get wood to make a fire, and when I went to the bed a few! min utes later-the pillow had been disturb ed, and the money was gone. That's all I know about It. The money was there when I got up, and In a few. short min utes It was missing. I don't know whe're it is, and that's all I've got to say." - ',-. , ; He would not say whether 6j not he bad any suspicions, but said as iSar as he knew no one had come into the house while he was in the woodshed, and the theft still remains a mystery, though some developments are looked for during the next three or four days. The officers are believed to have well founded suspicions, though they would not say what they were. TO SETTLE LABOR TROUBLE. SEATTLE, Dec. 5. W. O. Powell, president and general organiser of the Shirt, Waist and Laundry Workers' In ternational Union, arrived In Seattle laBt jilght from Portland. The purpose of his visit here at this time is to aid in straightening out the tangles In the local union of this organization. As previously stated In the Evening Telegram, there is trouble existing be tween the local Laundry Workers' Union and the Seattle Laundry Associ ation, the latter being composed oC the employers. .The entployers recently or: ganized themselves into a solid com bine, then raised the prices ort "flat" work 50 per cent, The employe then went about to form a union. fThey ef fected a temporary organization and elected officers. Promptly the- leaders of the movement Were discharged. The matter rests thereby V There is every prospect of a bitter war between the employing laundry, men and the Western Centnf Labor Union, with which the Laundry Work ers local union is affiliated. The West ern Central Is .a. most formidable body, j having more than &,uou mem Ders, com posed of sixty-seven local .unions. It recently whipped one.of Seattle's larg est and. wealthiest wholesale firms into line, the fight lasting three months. j SOCIAL CENTER MOVING. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. A periodical devoted to the doings of society peo pie has discovered that the social cen ter of this city has moved up town at the rate of a block a year. The center of population so far as the eonserruen-. tlal people are concerned Is this year at Fifty-Second street .and Firth av enue. Two years ago it was at Fiftieth street, and in 1888 at Thirty-Fourth street. In 1858 It 'was at Washington Square. -,: ' - 1 APPROACH OF HOLIDAYS VERY MUCH EVIDENCED IN SA LEM BY CROWDS AND DISPLAYS. There were many signs yesterday In Salem of the approach of "the holiday season. Seldom have ,the crowds on. the streets and in the stores been larger when nothing- out of the ordinary was going on. The country tor miles around had emptied Itself into the streets of Salem, and all the institutions in the suburbs, from the Reform School to the Indian School, were well repre sented. The footings In the popular store ho ton that advertise, for Instance would probably show by comparison with other davs a very large tum In many cases the largest days bust-. ness l the history of the .stores.. The crowds on the streets were, kept nr. until In t in th mnine. The worK Ing people seem to enjoy a kind of holiday time on pleasant Saturday evenings. . . : ;. 1 -: J There were many admirers an day and evening of the numerous show windows, which berin Jto exhibit the effect of preparations for the coming of bid Santa. Claus. A number of the larger stores have put In stocks of Christmas toysi and samples of these are , displayed In the windows. - They attract th children, and there ar many children of more than, under years who are pleased with the nice displays, -.'r It may be said confidently that never hofare have the Salem tner chants prepared so well for the hoi U day season, by putting in large siocks of seasonable goods, rr fact, the jcen rai stocks were never before so large. nor so varied In assortment fuiem has become an excellent trad- inr rlnL and it Is no wonder that on Saturdays, and on other days, people come here from all over tne central Willamette Valley . to secure their aupr plies. ; ?

The hon market is very, quiet and featureless of late, there being no per ceptlble movement or inclination in either direction, and while one dealer will assert in the strongest terms that the market has begun to display downward tendency, another , will vo ciferously maintain that it i stUI quite strong and that the present quietness is due to the temporary Inactivity of the' brewers, who We . waiting for de velopments In the shape of a break in the market. Few sales have been re ported -within the past week, the most recent of which was the purchase of the E. M. Crolsan lot Saturday, con sisting of 15S bales, by John Car michael, for 25 cents. , ' - (Evening Telegram.) Next year's hop crop will not rsll below . 18 cents. A few contracts for 19t3 hops are being made at that price, This fact is proof enough that growers may at least depend upon another year of prosperity. It Is doubtful If the price will ever again fall as Jow as 10 cents, as the consumption keeps pace with the supply, more especially as the New York growers are going out of the business, owing to 'adverse condt tions. , The- market has been most peculiar this year. At the present time some of thedealers are selling. 2. cents below the market price to make good orders which were not covered with contracts The more conservative dealers hedge by' covering each order they take -in advance with a contract with . the grower, so as not to be caught short. In this manner they have the supply when called upon and do not have to buy in the open market for filling their orders. Others. howVer,. will take all the .orders they can get regardless of whether or not they can cover wlt contracts. When these latter have to sell short it has the effect of stimulat ing the market, the. same as was done this vear. It seems all the" more remarkable that prices kept up so well In the face ot the fact that very few of . the large brewers, according to reliable Informa tion from trade sources, have bought of this year's crop. Most of the large brewers have cold storage plants where they keep hops in stock, and many of them have been using from the cold storage stock father thai pay present prices. It Is their policy to wait until an off year so that they can stock up when hops are cheap. But the fact that they are drawing largely on their old stock this year ought to help In making good prices next year. Having; exhausted their reserve stock, they will be farced to come Into the market heavy for a new supply, there fore dealers. It would ""jseem. are Justi fied In making contracts ahead for 18 rents. ; , , .1 "NOTHING SUCCeEOS LIKE 8UCCESS."
