A Daring Burglary.


ard adroitly execu'ed robbery that has
committed yesterday afternoon at 80 Ed.
ridge Court, the residence of Thos. Smith,
head draughtsmsn OF the DearbGrn foun-
dry. Mr.. Smith is in receipt of a coed
salary and it has been his practice for rome
time past TO entrust a large pcrtiC OF his
earnings with his wife. Mrs. Smith is q
stout lady about:6 years old. When her
husband went 10 work after dinner she was
lett alone in their rooms which include all
OF the apartments on the first floor. A
ring at the bell called Mrs. Smith TO the
front door. Two men dressed as mechanics
we're standing there. They introduced
themselves as plumbers sent BY the land
lord. Mrs. Smith ursuspicious, led way 10
the kitchen. She stood by the door as the
first one en'ered and after waiting 8 mo-
meut turned to let The second msn pass. As
she turned he s.Iuck her a blow with bis
fist which caused her 10 fall on her bnses.
Before she had time to cry out her sssailants
fugers were fastened on her neck. Then
other man drew long rope from sack he
carried a1d bound her feet and hands. A
towel was drawn slightly across her mouth
and both ends tied together back of her
head. The robber opened the bosom of
Mrs. Smiths dress and got hold of her wal
let containing $1,000 Suddenly the door
b. ii rang and one of The robbers coolly an
swered it. Mr.. Timothy aud wife, friends
of the Smiths, had stopped to make q
friendly call. While one of the robbers
held Mrs. Smith on the floor with his hand
press, d over her mouth to prevent her utter
ing a sound, the other informed the callers
that Mrs. Smith was i'll and unable to see
any visitors. Then he closed and locked
the door.
"What shall We do with her?D said he.
"Kill her, that's the very thing to do"
said the other, "then she will never
squeal."
81 don't want TO kill q woman in cold
blood," rejoined the first speaker.
"You need no. do it in cold blood"
answered the other, Gust set fire to the
house and burn her up"
Then Mrs. Smith saw the man who spoke
last seize the kerosene can as IL to execute
his threat. The csn proved to be empty
and he cast it from him with en- oath
and cried, Lets dump her into the bath
Tub and turn on the wa'er. She will drown
like rat"
A moments calculation ensued and then
the would-be murderers went out of the
front door, closing il after them, leaving
Mrs. Smith on the floor, bound hand snd
foot, and almost dead with fright. Half al
hour elapsed before she gained strength
enoug h 10 attempt lOosening the bands
about her wrists. This task took another
half hour. Dragging herself on her knees
she finally reached the front door add
passer-by was appraised of what had taken
place aud the p4lice notified. Up to this
morning they have obtained no clue and
been able to accomplish nothing except to
caution Mrs. Smith not to say anything |
about the siiair to reporters. Mrs. Smith !
has been Frustrated by the shock. She is !
now seriously ILL.,

Miss Florence Marryatt says: "Let
our sex continue to do for men what
it has done in the past-sit on them.
l repeat it, they will be better and
wiser for it. Sit on them" We
hardly think Florence fully realizes
the consequences of literally following
her advice. We have q faint recOl.
lection in the dim and distant previ-
Gus, of being sat upon by sweet little
faxen haired member of Florence's
sex. The proceeding did not seem to
fully meet the entire approval of the
head of her family, and we have reas-
on to believe that she has permanent
ly abandoned the habit. 1t would be
better for Florence to look the mat

fore she utters anything 80 absolute

What Comes of Being Homely.

81 LOUIS chronicle.
The country is informed that the
demand for: Miss Cleveland's book-a
collection Of her essays-is so great
that there is no hope of supplying it
for some time to come. That is what
comes of being homely. If Miss
Cleveland had only been beautiful
she would probably have had a hus-
band and his progeny to look after in
stead of amusing herself writing
essays.

Wonderful Surgery.

The BAZoo made mention of the removal
by DR.. King of q seventy pound ovarian
tuner from lady in Macon county a few
days ago. The La Plata Home Press gives
the following account of the operation:
On Tuesday last, DIR, Willis King, of
Sedslia, assisted by Drs. hurry, of Holden,
snd Priest, OF California, n o., performed q
surgical operation upon Mrs. North Davis,
OF Drake township, this county, removing
an ovarian tumor that weighed 20 pounds
The sac weightd 10 pounds aud the con.
tents measured 90 pins Cor pounds.) 1t
was an ovarian cyst, five years old, and has
been tapped seven times. The operation
was commenced at III a. m, and was con-
cluded at 3 p. M. the work being perform
ed with great difficulty, IS the sdhensions
were large and numerous. The patient is
DO years old, and the chances are against
her, though DR.. King, who left her at ) p.
ID, ssys mat If re-sc ion sets in and she
should live "A hours, there is some chance
for her recovery. Without this operation
death was inevitable at an early day, and
il afforded last chance for prolongiug
life
We honor and revere such a man as
Willis King, whose life is devoted to his
proft ssion and to the relief of suffering
humanity. In conversation with him,
he dropped remark that ought to be en-
craven on his tomb stone. He said ::
"rhere are higher considerations in the
practice OF medicine than MONEY. If there
we're not, would qqit it." What noble
sentiment for a man who was then journey
ing toward Jerico on mission of humsni-
ty, without fee or hope of reward. The
world is better because such men live in ii,
and if such men did not live in it, life
would be unbearable.

Special CORRESPONDENCE OF the Examiner
ABBOTT, Tex, August 5, 1885.
To THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER
"Tax Payers" article in your last
weekly. airing himself on the subject
of prohibition, deserves severe criti-
cism. We would ask what he means
by the "commonest privileges of man.
hoodY' If 1t is to fill his hide with
Waco's "bug.juice," take in the town,
and get taken in himself; squander
his years hard earnings in day,
leaving his wife and children at home
on the ragged edge of starvation?
Then we could agree with him. The
vacant store-houses he so much
breads can be used much more profit.
ably in storing the immense crop of
your county. And the thousand ana
one men to be thrown out of employ
ment can be much better employed in
gathering said crOp-nOt so pleasant,
perhaps, TO the dudes. but certainly
more honorable. His arguments are
n batch of the lnercst sophistries; too
thin; the dullest intellect can discover
the "bug" under the chip, and we ven
ture the assertion that TAX Payer
spends more for drinks annually
than he does to support the
church and the state. No, Mr.. Tax
Payer, the time for argument is passed.
The people have suffered themselves
hood linked too long already, the
fiat have gone forth, the whiskey gug-
Cling element must seek new pastures
green.
Prohibition may, by many, be re.
garded rs heroic treatment, but let me
assure all such, that it is the only
remedy that will cure tuto, otto and
JUG nde.
Why, says the strong arm of law
not interfere and save men aud wom-
en-, too, from the fighting cursc--pro-
hibition will prohibit. And further,
it will save millions of dollars, as
also the boosted manhood OF taX-pay-
ers, of thousands of slaves to the mon
ster demon, who are helpless within
his iron grasp. Argument now, is
worse than wasted the thinking mass.
es are ready to act and just hands off,
Mr.. Barlow, and we will give whiskey
the blacklist eye you ever saw.
Mind you, we approve your high
stand OH all moral subjects, have been
paid subscriber to the old EXAMG-
NER since its first issue, and never
was il cleaner than AT present under
your able management. RICHARD.
