SEIDLITz POWDERS MIXED IN THE
STOMACH OF A DARKEY.-A few days
since colored lad entered a drug store in
Portland with what he described as an
lawful feeling in de stomach. jest like it
wor full of fish.h hooks and angle worms,
and demanded "Setter POWDER" as he
had been advised that would give relief
Accordingly the Seidlitz powders were
dissolved in separate glasses, as usual, and
placed before him, with instructions to
pour one into the other and drink while
effervescing. But the sable youth did
nothing of the sort Instead of follow
ing the directions, he hastily drank off the
contents of one glass and immediately
swallowed the other. The effect may be
imagined, but not described. The effer-
vescence, which should have taken place
in the glass before it was drank, took
place in the bewildered darkey's stomach,
sending streams of the frothy liquid from
his mouth, nose, eyes and ears. As soon
as the poor fellow could recover breath, he
cried out in frightened tones: "My stom-
ach has busted / can't live minute =
In few moments, however, he felt better

DARING BURGLARY AT MONTPELIER
We learn from the Free Press that the
market of Carlos L. Smith, on Main
street, was entered by burglar on Satur-
day, the safe broken into, but fortunately
the robber was frightened and left when
just ready to secure his prize. About 2
o'clock Sunday morning, Chas. III. Gross,
who lives near, heard noise in Mr..
Smiths market, got up and went to his
window and saw light in the market.
but supposed Mr.. Smith was there at
work taking care of his meat, and went to
bed again. The noise continuing and in
creasing, after nearly an hour MIR. Cross
again got out of bed and partly dressing
himself went down to the market door,
still supposing Mr.. Smith to be there at
work Finding the door partially open,
be thought to have some pleasantly with
Mr.. Smith, and repeated just within the
door, in cultural tone, the words, "The
night cometh in which no man can work"
and then stepped into the market, when
man came quickly towards him with
cleaver in his hand, and made side
stroke at his head, which Mr.. Cross avoid
ed by "ducking" so low that the cleayer
passed over him. The burglar thereupon
dropped his weapon and fed through the
door before Mr.. Cross had time to fairly
comprehend the situation. 1t was quite
dark in the room where the burglar pass
ed Mr.. Cross, and the rapidity of the
movements of the burglar rendered his
Identification impossible. The last seen
of him be was fleeing down Main street
toward the south. Upon calling up help,
and sending for Mr.. Smith, it was found
that the burglar had been at work on the
safe in the counting room, the instru-
ments used consisting of common crow
bar and sledge hammer, paper OF pow
der also being left upon the desk. The
safe had been turned over On Its back,
and SO nearly had the rogue effected an
entrance into it, that when 1t was after
wards turned up on the side, the door
came open itself But for the interrup-
ton of Mr.. Cross, in very few minutes
more the rogue would have been in pos
session of 1922 in money, and made good
his escape; as it was, he only secured
dollar or two, mostly in cents, left in the
money drawer under the desk. Thus far
he has escaped detection. Two blacksmith
shops were entered the same night, prob
ably by the same person, to secure tools
with which to effect his purpose. Sus-
picion rests on two or three persons, but
as the case is in the hands of the officers
of the law, we withhold names.
