Maratta tells the sad story feelingly. He
says, 1.-THE Montana laid at the wharf, the

A BURGLARY.

aud Robbed Of SO nae J cyvelry.

Ig(s rs ~ z IL s-- ! 5 s 10
ne House Of Mrs. s., p. Lewis Entsrsd
and Robbed Of So mc Je,welry.
sosne time durins last Ftiday night the
houss 81 Nrs. g. b. Lewis on Second street
was burglarized. Mr. Lewis is absent at
Miles City. on the Yellowstone, leaving her
house in charge of the servant girl. On Fri
day night the girl left the house to attend
the 4th of July festivities, and during her
absence the house was entered by q burglar
snd some jswslry Belonging To- Mrs. Lewis
stoleh. The thiefsalsoscoAscteda large
bundle Of clothing, including some valuable
silk dresses, which he tied up and left in the
house, intending doubtless 10 remove them
at a future time.~-In leaving the thief took
the key of the back door with him. On re.
turning to the house and finding .wha. had
happened. the girl naturally became fright.
ened and afraid to remain in The house. On
Saturday she informed sheriff.Baker ofwhat
had happened, and also that she knew Of two
young men (Norwegians) who. if properly
authorized, would remain in the house and
watch for the return of the thief, while she
would go to a house Of a friend. This ar
rangement was agreed upon and the two
men, after receiving instructions from the
sheriff, commenced their watch. This morn
ing at about three o'clock, while one man
was watching with a pistol in his hand and
the other lying down taking a rest, the
burglar returned and deliberately I'M.
locking the back door, walked into the
house. Coming into the presence of the
two guardians of the house. Upon see
ing them he coolly demanded, "what
are you doing here?" to which the armed
and wakeful sentinel replied that they we're
there for the purpose Of guarding the house.
Apparently not knowing what else to say,
and deeming the intruder's question a good
one to repeat by way Of carrying on the
conversation, asked "What are you doing
hereY This was a hard conundrum, but
the fellow was equal to the occasion and
didn't "give it up" II was sent here" he
replied, ito watch the house, and it seems
strange that I should be sent here to per
form a service in which you are already en-
gagged" The guardians too thought i
strange that no information had been giyer
them that they were to be reinforced, ant
so expressed themselves. "Well," replied
the newcomer, "as the house is already vel
guarded it is useless for me to remain here
and I will co." and he went, without steal
ing the guardians of the house or any NOR
goods. He is described rs q large burl,
fellow in his shirt sleeves, and this is all tn
clue there is thus far to the robber.

rhe stomach oannot be Freighted

With greater trash than a violent drastic purgative. True, such medicine relieves constipation for the time, but at tue expense of great injury to the intestinal canal, which it both inf4mes and weakens, thus uniting if for the performance of its proper functions Widely different is the action of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tonic aperient which pro duces effects prompt, indeed but never violent and couvulsing. The purity of its botanic ingredients, it's unobjectionablef flavor, its ge- nial influence upon the mind, and the thor oughness Of its remedial action in cases of constipation, liver complaint and dyspesia, combine to render it most desirable family specific. It increases both physical vigor an d substance, tranquilizes and invigorates the nervous system, and gives an unwouted rel ish for the food. A wineglass three times daily is about the average dose.

SOME ODD CHARACTERISTICS IN WASH
 NGToN.-Dr. Mary Walker and Citizen
 Cohen, the Socialist, are fair represent atives of the reform element, while
 ''Old Prayers" as the newspaper men
 irreverently call the man who religious
 ly plants himself. day after day, Tn the same seat in the House gallery to watch Congress- for some opportunity to call down upon it the wrath of Heaven, is at the head of the fanatics. Twice within as many months he has interrupted the proceedings in a loud voice to give his religious admonitions, and twice he has been summarily yanked out of the building by the police. Schneider, the commnnistic evangelist minister, is an- other of these strange creatures. With a voice like trumpet, and a wild sort of eloquence, this long haired blather- skite parades the town week after week. exhorting people at the street corners to rise and divide the property of the rich. But probably the greatest fraud of all is big, greasy fellow with hair that falls over his shoulders in cloud of curls, who calls himself Tacmentus, the Greek. He appeared here about two years ago. His chief support are the aims or loans he can raise by means Ol d 4OAS JaIu OA pcIocCul1Ou tHdb ne retails to benevolent and justice-loving people. He claims to have made a great medical discovery in Greece and published 1t, but was denounced as an impostor by the regular physician of the college, and IS a member of a secret society in Italy called the Carbonari, a king killing kind of an institution, something like the Nihilists. This made him person of mistrust to sev- eral governments, and they had perse- cuted him by secret agents ever since To him the President and members of the Cabinet had been especial objects of prey, till he finally became such an abject bore that the police and door keepers were ordered to keep him away. .Pihsburg Dispatch.
