A BOLD BURGLARY,
BY Which Mrs. Cakes Is Relieved
of $4,000 Worth of Property.

The facts of a bold burglary in lower
town last Sunday evening were learned
by GLOBE reporter yesterday after
noon. The residence of Mrs. Julia B.
Cakes, at sol Olive street, was robbed
of money and valuabies amounting to
over $1,000. The thief, OF thieves,
gained an entrance to the house through
a kitchen door in the rear, early in the
evening, while all of the family were
away from home, Mrs. Cakes having gone
out to tea. The house was pillaged
from kitchen to parlor and presented a
sorry appearance when Mrs. Cakes re-
turned. The thieves were not satisfied
with the large amount of silver plate,
two gold watches and some money, but
ransacked the wardrObeS, taking two
costly silk dresses and other valuable
garments. Several important papers
were also taken, but in leaving the
house the thieves made, perhaps, the
mistake of their lives, dropping
an envelope that contained Sl.5OO.
The robbery having been boldly
committed so early in the evening
it is apparent that the thieves were we'll
acquainted with the household and lit
tie feared being arrested before COM
pleting their job, The value of the
goods taken is conservatively estimated
at $4,000, but is believed that much
greater sum would not replace them.
No arrests have been made, and the
robbery was known yesterday to but a
few npOnlp.

PITIABLE TALE OF A LADY.
Once Rich. Now Stranded With
out Penny i'm a Strange City.

out a fenny IN strange City.
The relief committee of the chamber Of
commerce yesterday had TO consider Pc
culiarly distressing application. 1t was that
of q lady. refined and we'll educated, who,
up to recent date, resided in North Dakota.
She was en- route for Detroit, Mich, but was
unable to pay her expenses thither
She was well advanced in years,
and the story told the committee
was very sad. The lady and her husband
originally possessed 100000. A large slice
of this was lost in the Chicago fire. They
journeyed to Dakota, took to farming, and
now every penny has been swallowed. The
husband has gone on to Detroit, but the
money furnished by friends failed to take
the wife beyond st. Paul. 1t was all their
Dakota friends could do for them.
'Have you any friends in Detroit?" asked
a gentleman interested in the lady's story.
YES" she replied. with a heavy sigh.
"But they do not acknowledge me now that
/ am poor.
The relief committee found themselves in
q uuandary when they came to consider this
application. They were the custodians of
fund tor the relief of citizens in North Da-
kota, not for the purpose of assisting people
out OF that state. Money will be secured
from some other quarters. Secretary Tall
madge was instructed by the committee TO
ship flannel for twenty five families at Bot
tlneau, \. D., and ten packages of clothing
and flannel and one car of coal to Lakota.
The same also to Devil Lake.

DR.. AIdrich read an interesting paper on
the subject of fTacheetorny, the treatment in
diphtheria by inserting a tube, into an
incision from the outside of the throat
to enable the patient to breathe in extreme
cases. He contrasted this treatment with in
tubatim, or inserting the tube from the
mouth for like purpose, and spoke OF the
prejudice OF people against surgical treat
ment in cases of diphtheria as being the
cause of greater loss of life from that dis
ease. The tracheolOmy treatment showed
the ratio of reeoveries is 81 per cent, and in
that of intuDulation, 81 per cent, and ex-
planned that these statistics were based upon
cases considered hopeless without such
treatment. He also said that the former
treatment had not as fair a showing as
ii was entitled to for the reason that 1t was
not performed, except in more extreme cases
than in the latter, because of the difficulty in
overcoming the prejudice of friends to such
treatment.
The paper was discussed by Drs. Briggs,
Lawrence Haveland and others.
DR.. Ogden presented the facts in peculiar
case of a young man in this city, twenty
years of age who was attacked with paralytic
symptoms on Saturday last, and is now in q
