A SAFE HAUL.
burglars Get i'm Successful Work at
ThieIan,s Hotel.

When the clerk at Thielan's hotel, corner
Central avenue and Fifth street southeast,
arose yesterday morning he found thieves
had been there since he had gone. A smell
of powder prevailed the room and the safe
in the corner was badly torn and buTsted.
During the night burglars had entered the
room and had twice drilled the safe. the
second attempt resulting in blowing it open.
Some checks and papers, a watch and chain
and S115 in cash had been taken, and the
haul was profitable one. The papers We're
of no value, and the checks will only serve
to expose the thieves should they attempt TO
use them. The police were notified, and an
examination convinced them the work had
been professionally done, yet, nOtwithstand-
ing that, they arrested five or SIX boarders
upon the knowledge only that they had been
out late the night before. They were dis
missed for want of evidence. But how
some of the boarders could have slept
through the racket that inevitably attended
the blowing is a mystery.
Several Of the officers who examined the
safe pronounced the work that of an expert.
The operator was probably one of the crowd

NOT so MYSTERIOUS. EITHER


The column of "ShaTps and Flats in the
Chicago News of a recent date contained
the following pertinent story of ''mysteri-
Gus disappearance"
Minneapolis some time ago had case of
mysterious disappearance that we believe has
never been published. Jack West was a Jolly
fellow who kept neat and orderly little
saloon across from one of the railway depots.
Jack had been conductor, and of course his
place was the resort OF the railroad boys.
They sat about his stove on winter evenings
and spun their yarns about the big runs they
had made and the close calls they had had.
and Jack got many good dime OF their pay
and in return gave them good goods" and now
and then piece of advice ms TO how TO vote
for Jack liked TO dabble i'm small way i'm ward
politics. Other people, too. patronize Jack. for
everybody knew him and everybody liked him
One day u rich uncle OF Jacks came up from
Cincinnati TO see his nephew and the city bv
the falls. The old gentleman was pleased with
the city and glad TO find his nephew so Jolly
sort OF chap. Indeed, he was so pleased
with both the city ana his nephew that he
spent two or three millions, as the Mime
apoitans say, in building vast hotel. When
the hotel was built and paid for he decided
the whole establishment over TO Jack From
that time on Jack West has been missing.
Nobody has ever seen him since. and, strange
TO say. nobody has seemed interested in look
ing him up. About the time Jack West, the
jolly, popular eX-conductor, disappeared. Col.
John West, a courteous gentleman, came
upon the scene. At once Col. John West be-
came one Of the most prominent personages
in Minneapolis society. Whenever anything
was to be done the people gathered about Col.
john West TO ask his opinion of il; and his
opinion ut once became their opinion. He
was courted and fiattered and banqueted, and
his name was upon everybOdy's lips and in all
the newspapers. If he turned around il was
public event. But all this time. and to this
day, poor Jack West has never been seen nor
hardly thought of. Wherever he is, he must
sometimes be provoked TO smile AT the honors
that are heaped on Col. John West. who, il
should be said, is about as good-natured. IL a
little more dignified, and about as companion
able as Jack West used 10 be.

Alarm From the Grand.

The mercurial thermOStat at the Grand
opera house got in its work again yesterday,
bringing out the department in great shape.
The workers at the theater were consider
ably surprised when the engines dashed up
to the doors as they knew nothing of the
alarm. This is the second time recently
this thermOStat has made a mistake, and it
is the opinion of Chief StetSOn that some
one has meddled with it. The principle on
which the thermOStat operates is that of a
wire suspended over 4 cup of mercury. The
mercury Is very sensitive to heat and eX-
pandS very rapidly, thus meeting the wire,
closing the circuit and sending the alarm.
This one should be looked to, as an alarm
during performance might create panic.
