thiee nights, four beinj? saloons. At
2.H0 Satuiday mornine the saloon of
John Altuczlnas, in Edwardsvllle, was
entered by masked burglars. The win
dow In the lear of the kitchen was
forced opon and the burglar proceeded
upstnlrs with a lighted candle In his
hand and entered tho apartments of a
family who rents rooms from Mr. Al
tuc7lnas. It happened that the wife
was sitting up -with a sick baby and
when the masked burglar entered the
woman became speechless with fright
mid was unable to slve an alarm. The
burglar, undaunted, went down cellar
and, with his compiinlons, pried off the
collar door and they helped themselves
to the contents of several kegs of
liquor.
Satuiday" night burglars entered Al
exander Maslowakl's saloon on West
Main street, Plymouth, by cutting a
pane of glass out of a side window.
In the morning when the saloon was
opentd euy thing was found In confu
sion. A search revealed the fact that
?3 In money and several bottles of
w lilskey had been stolen. There Is no
clue to the robbers.
The saloon of Stanley Szakalum on
Main street, directly opposite the Eley
house, was entered by thieves some
time during last night. At this place
the burglars made a considerable haul,
taking away with them between forty
and fifty dollars, several bottles of
whiskey and a thousand cigars.
OTHER ATTEMPTS.
An attempt was made to enter the
store of Chailes Shupp at Plymouth, on
Saturday night about 11 o'clock. One
of the clerks who sleeps in the store
heard a noise In the alley In the rear
and peering through the shutters dis
covered three men attempting to enter.
Procuring the services of Constable
John John, he went Into the alley, and
with the aid of the constable succeed
ed In anestlng one of the men. "When
taken before Squire Walters he gave
Ills name as Joseph H. Smith, and stat
ed that he was from New York city.
The 'squlte committed him to Jail for
thirty days.
A mysterious robbery was committed
in the saloon of Mrs. Bildget Rooney on
Main street, Plymouth, some time Sat
uiday night. Several bottles of whis
key were stolen, also a Jug of whiskey
and sevetal boxe3 of cigars.
On Saturday nlsht some unknown
person entered the shifting shanty at
the Avondale colliery and carried off a
good suit of clothes belonging to the
Hie boss, W. C. Noyle. In the pockets
was a chain valued at $12 and $1.98 in
cash.
This free and easy robbing Is becom
ing a thing of such frequent occur
rence that patience has ceased to be a
Virtue and a business men's league Is
in contemplation for the employment of
a private detective to break up this
gang of midnight depredatois.

of whom iomped about the house in a
Joyful manner todav, while the hus

county. Thers was an overflowing well
near the homestead. One night at 9
o'clock Mrs, M,oyer took a drink from
the well. As the contents flowed down
her throat, she felt a tickling, scratch
ing sensation. She was sure she had
hwallowed a lizard. However, she
could not eject whatever It was, and
for ten months tried to force tho mys
terious occupant from her stomach
without nvan, Physicians toldi her
thnt she was likely troubled Svlfn a
tape worm or pomethlng else. She took
various medicines, but nothing relieved
her. During the past year her agony
woo greater than ever.
