ATTEMPTEp RoBRERY.

Last Saturday some thieves attempted
to break into the store of David Bowen on
Seventeenth street near Sixth avenue
but they were frightened off before secur-
ing any articles of value.
1t appears that the burglars succeeded
in breaking window located in the front
part of the store without creating any
alarm, but after performing this act, they
failed to enter and appropriate any of the
articles thers to be found
It is thought that there is gang of
thieves in and about this city, as the re
peated attempts at burglary and the few
successful moves would indicate that they
are still in the city. So far they have
evaded the police, and it is to be hoped
that some trace of them will be discovered
that will lead to their arrest and final con-
viction of the various crimes of which they
have been guilty.

BRIDGE GONE.

This afternoon at Q o'clock the north
end of the temporary wagon bridge at
Milan gave way, and floated down to the
railroad bridge. The accident was caused
by the ice gorging against the temporary
structure. the force being sufficient to car
ry a portion of the bridge down the river.
It was wholly unexpected, as the bridge was
repaired yesterday and it was thought that
the bridge would last until the perma-
nent structure could be completed which
will be about the 1st of January.
Fortunately the bridge was unoccupied
at the time of the break up, and thus Eno
one was injured.
It is probable that an effort win be
made to erect some structure across the
river at Milan. At late accounts the bro
ken bridge was hanging on the railroad
bridge at that point.

sCALDED.

A little son of John Chillburg of Moline
narrowly escaped death by scalding last
Saturday. In cleaning the floor bucket
full of boiling hot lye was used, and this
was placed near one of the doors. The
little boy-some three years old came into
the room, and in some unaccountable man.
mar fell into the boiling water. His cries
soon brought his mother to the rescue, and
a physician was at once summoned.
1t was found that the boy had received
some very severe burns in the region OF
his hips and back, but they were not con-
sidered of dangerous or fatal character.
The prompt rescue of his mother is thought
to have been the means of saving his life.
At late accounts the boy is improving as
fast as could be expected.

but very little. Although not rccommen
ded as ''infallable," the peculiar qualities
of st. Jacobs Oil especially adapt it to
those cases which may be termed chronic"
and which have previously withstood all
esspecifics" as well as the prescriptions of
the best physicians.
The case of Mr.. A. Heilman, Editor o
the Pittsburgh Republican, who suffered
with rheumatism for two years, we would
mention, as an example. After vainly
using all the best recommended remedies,
and exhausting the skill of the most ex
per1enced physicians, without even tempo
rary relief, it required only two bottles of
st. Jacobs oil to effect permanent cure.
Mr. c. Hanni, a well-known citizen of
Youngstown. Ohio, secured for his wife,
who for twelve years had been constan
sufferer from Neuralgia in the head. the
| services of the ablest physicians of the
land, but they were unable to do any thing
for her; half bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
cured her. Mr., VIM. Reinharc, Elemore,
| Wis, reports the case of a neighbor who
| for twenty. four years had suffered SO ter
ribly with rheumatism that, at times, he
could hardly move around; few bottles OF
st. Jacobs Oil cured him. These are re-
suits which truly deserve to be brought to
public notice; but they are not exceptions,
as will be seen by the numerous other
certificates from all parts OF the United
States 1t should be the duty of every
one to cali the attention of his suffering
