OBB'S OBSERVATIONS .
What lln Seen nnd llptirH During III. Trav
els About Tom ii.
Now that tho coming Spring elections aro
beginning to arouso lively interest it is timely
to gay that the primary elections should be ns
Bflcred and as strongly safe-guarded from
frauds of every kind ai tho balloting on
election day. Much tins been dono in recent
yoars, In a pcrmlssivo way leaving it op
tional with party committees to avail them
solvos of tbo law or not to promoto tho
purity of primary elections; but much re
mains to bo dono to glvo that assurnnco of
ubsoluto fairness which Is universally felt in
regard to our gcuoial election system.
A woll known citizen asks mo why it
would not bo a good idea to vestibule tho
motorman instead of the motor car, using a
llexiblo armor with headplccH similar in out
line to that worn by divers, and so con
structed that tho breath would not reach tho
eyeglasses. This, ho alllrms, would give tho
motorman a practically unolmcurcd vision,
fieodom of nctlou, and better protection than
any vestibule that would be safe to adopt. I
pass iho Idea along, without favor or preju
dice, to whomever it may oonceru. There
may bo something in it for all I know.
In a Girardvlllo rating house they aro
nothing if not enterprising. Tho proprietor
hung out a sign the other day making tho
grand oiler that a bowl of soup would be
given free to tho man guessing tho nearest
number of bowls of soup sold between tho
dato of tho offer and Christmas. A guess
goes with each bowl of soup.
Tho grip is evidently upon us in epidemic
form, and is moreover represented to bo
contagious. A correspondent gives tho
following precautionary advice: "I havo
found on former occasions that quinine,
tuken regularly morning and evening, in
moderate doses, had tho cllect of warding olf
tho malady, and have since had no reason to
loso faith in it. Two pills, two grains each,
taken morning and evening, Is tho quantity.1
Tlio proverbial pcrvcrscuoss of inanlmato
objects Is woll illustrated in tho following
cxpeiloace of a well known citizen.
Probably half tho men who road this have
had similar occasions to wonder why it is
that tilings without lips seem to havo to
much life, seem to havo so much of tho
stubborn quality that men and animals are
heir to. "I carry my keys on a ring," said
tho man in question. "Tlio lock on my front
door is of tho kind that takos ono of thoso
small flat keys, with little notches on ono
sido. On that samo key ring there was
another key of tho samo pattern, which
opened my desk. Thoso woro tho only two
keys of similar kind on tho ring. A gambler
will tell you that when there are but two
objects from which to select at random there
is a fifty per cent, chanco that ono will get
tho right ono tho first time, and that in tho
long run half of tho tlmo tho object ono
wants will como to hand. Now, I am some
thing of a poker player and beliovo in tho
doctriuo of chanco as put down by Hoylo,
but my experience with those two keys, ono
of which will and tho other will not unlock
my door, has mado mo just a bit skeptical
I daro say that I havo unlocked my front
door five thousand times. Out of that
number of times not COO times havo I put
tbo right koy in tho lock the first time
trying. I fumblo at my keys, find ono of tho
notched ones, and it is niuo chances to ono
that it is tho wrong o'no. I can't oxplain tho
reason, but it's a fact." Que

WO burglaries wero
committed on East
Centre street late last
night or during tho
early hours this morn
ing aud from tho dis
coveries mado this
afternoon It is evident
that tho two places wore visited by tho samo
gang-
Tlio two places visited were tho store of
Joseph Mandour, tho Arabian merchant, ou
Etst Centre street, near Emorick, and tho
Polish shoo store on Eiat Centre street, just
below White.
Mandour is a heavy loser. When he closed
up his store list night ho left $375 In a cash
drawer under thocouutcr. Tho drawer had
combination lock and Mandour thought
tho nnnoy would bo secure in it until this
morning, when ho Intended to put it in bank.
This morning ho found tho drawer on tho
lloor at tho hick of tho counter with but two
dollars nnd a check in it.
Eutranco to the placo by tho burglars was
mado quito easily. A door between tho sido-
walk aud tho collar had no lock aud a trap
door of a passigo way leading from tho cellar
to a room at tho rear of tho store was unfast
oued, so there was altnojt a temptation for
the robbery.
In addition to tho cash Mandour lost three
silvor watehes, and twenty-one sllvoreno
watches, and a quantity of watch charms,
rings, underwear, gloves and other good?)
which lie values at over $300. Tho total
amount of his loss ho says Is ovor $TC0.
Tho burglary at the shoo store wa more
daring. Tho burglars smashed a largo pano
of glass in one of tho front doors aud erawleii
through tho opening. When tho ownor went
into tho placo this morning ho found the
stock scattered over tho lloor and counters.
Five pairs of shoos nnd fivo pairs of gam
boots wero found missing after an account of
stock was taken. Two pairs of much worn
ineu'8 laced Rhoes were found among tho
now stock. They wore left behind by tho
burglars oue pair No. O's and the other
No. O's.
Ono of tho first piocee of evidence connect
ing the two burglaries was an imprint of a
new shoo in tho muddy flooring of Mandon'r
cellar. It was at onco concluded that tho
burglars first robbed tho shoo store and on
their way along East Coutro street towards
tho Hoadlng railroad concluded to "crack
Maudou's place.
The shoo doalors' loss will not exceed $t0.
This afternoon Justico Toorney aud Con
stablo Uiblin commenced searches and found
secreted behind tho tool house near tho P. &
It. passenger depot ono pair of gum boots,
threo pairs of shoes, about a dozen gloves and
tho samo quantity of stockings. The goods
were identified by the two mrtios robbed
There is no clue to tho burglars.
