Burglary.

Last Saturday, Uriah zohn and wife, who
live In the east part Of town, returned home
from a weeks visit with relatives in the
Southeast part of the county, and on enter
ing their home they found burned matches
scattered over the floor. They at once came
TO the conclusion that somebody had been
there, and began an investigation. which
proved only too true. On going into the
kitchen they found one window raised which
the midnight marauder had forgotten to
close. A further search revealed the fact
that almost everything movable was carried
on. The bufeau drawers were scattered
about and dresses, dress patterns, pillows,
lard, butter, flour, apple-butter, sugar, can
ned goods, etc., taken. Mr.. Zohn at once
had his suspicious directed to man by the
name of Charles Lidell, and Immediately
had search warrant sworn out against him
which was placed in the hands Of Constable
Lou Betzon, who repaired to his home in
lower "goose town." and began his work. In
trunk belonging to Mrs. Lidell was found
the dress pattern and pillow slips, 1.-THE
feathers having been emptied out), and set
of silver teaspoons in the wood-shed under
meath pile of listings, all of which was
proven to belong to Mrs. Zohn. In a box
number of axes we're snugly stored away
and on bringing them out one was found tc
be the property of Curtis Snyder, another Of
Wills Bonner. Constable Betzon then cas-
his eagle eye on a large ash pile in the yart
which he thought might possibly contain
some of the missing goods, and stirring il
up, was amply repaid for his trouble, for out
of it he fished hand-saw, tbrace, draw knife
files, chises, etc. These articles were iden.
titled by Mr.. Decker, foreman of Burners
hoop factory, which had been stolen from
there, also lantern and side hanging lamp
On Sunday the search was again renewed
this visit brought forth the following addi.
tional articles: About half bolt of cloth
pair of pants, cut and partly made from the
bolt, a quantity of black and white checked
fianel and piece of white goods. These
articles were identified by Mr.. Charles Au-
genstein as being stolen from the Napoleon
Woolen Mills. Also paper sack containing
68 fine black silk tassels for trimming, and
a number of other articles. A coat was also
taken from Mr.. -Augensten, but up to this
time, Tuesday,, has not been found, but
was seen on Sunday hanging in Lidell's
house. On being arraigned before Squire
Tressler last Monday, Lidell pied not guilty,
and claimed, as also did bis wife, to be utter
ly ignorant as to how the goods got to their
house. After hearing thu evidence, Squire
Tressler bound him over to court on two
charges of burglary in the sum of $500 each,
in default of which he will have chance
to count the stars through the iron window
bars until the next term of court. This
is not Lidell's first offense, but will be his
last for some time to come.

In Memory Of Francis q. Connolly
Who Died Aug. 10. 1887.


Rest, loved one, rest in peace,
Thy sorrows a II are oer;
The petty woes that vex our souls,
Shall trouble thee no more.
Earth's sorrows and Its joys
Are nothing to thee now,
They ycan not thrill thy heart nor cast
A shade upon thy brow.
How could we wish thee back,
Safe in the Saviour's arms,
Thou wouldst not give one moments bliEs,
For all earth's heeting charms.
All +! loved one, not for thee
The tesr-drops fall like rain;
We weep to think that years may pass
Ere we shall meet again.
Dear Lord, who died for me,
We bow beneath thy cross;
Help us to say ''Thy will be done,''
Help us to bear our loss.
Sleep then, beloved, sleep
The while we wait and pray,
Until we meet thee once again,
In Heaven's eternal day.
