A Davenport Clothing House Entered.
Clerk Gagged and Bound and safe
Blown Open and Piundered OF $500.
One of the boldest and most successful
pieces of burglary that has been attempt
ed IN the three cities for some time, was
that which was performed in Davenport
last night. The clothing house of Isaac
Rotchschild at the corner of Brady and
Second streets, ives entered from the rear
by the burglars climbing upon the roof
of j. NJ. Eldridge's real estate and loan
office building. and climbing in through
second>story window. August Amer
back, clerk in the store, roOming up
stairs. heard noise about midnight that
sounded like the falling of window, and
arose to listen further but all remaining
quiet he retired again, but about
o'clock this morning he was startled by
an explosion in the store and hurriedly
dressing himself, went down stairs, and
as he reached the door into the store he
was struck on the head by sand bag
and knocked senseess. He was then
tied and bound and laid under the CASH
ier's desk and securely fastened The
burglars then plundered the safe of its
contents. large part of which was $500
in gold. and departed.
This morning the clerk was found in
the position the bold burglars hud left
him, having remained there five hours. |
He had recovered consciousness before |
they left and from him quite clue to
the scoundrels has been obtained by |
Chief Kesslcr, of the Davenport police
Two strangers entered the ST. James |
hotel little after o'clock this morning |
and left orders to be called for the south |
bound O.. X. | t. p. train. Their wish |
was complied with and they departed. |
The police think from the description of |
Anerback, the clothing store clerk. and |
the hotel clerk. that these are the men |
who committed the audacious deed |
They had full kit of burglars tools and
they opened the safe by drilling a hole
near the dial, filling it with powder, and
then blowing it.
POLICE POINTS.

Minnie Maddern in "Caprice."


 Of Minnie Maddern, who is to appear at Jacques opera house Tuesday evening in "Caprice," a prominent theatrical critic writes: 'One of my favorites, as far as the stage is concerned, is in town, and that is dainty, sweet, lovable, attractive, and best of all, womanly Minnie Maddern. She is playing Caprice at the Bijou Theatre, The play would be nothing without her, but it makes one feel that, after all, there is lot of love in the world to see that win some little maiden smoothing the hand and kissing the forehead of her husband. I do think that, more than anybody else, this little woman pervades the whole of of the theatre with her womanliness- she doesn't make fiery springs at people, nor coil around them ill a ravenous sort of way but she cuddles their hands, rubs hel face against the one she loves, wants to be kissed and made much of, and all in such way that every man in the audience would feel ready to shoot the leading mar if he didn't seem to like it. Her voice is full of tears, and when she sang In the Gloaming, that old song made everybody feel as if they wanted to get very near some one who was fond of them, and ask if they really didn't care very much after all.'

BelVa Lockwood

has been nominated for President. Her platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being a potent factor. She demands as starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger tS Go possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors. Buy Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like a reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago, and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- ingers popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success.
