q one-armed veteran, arrived on the 6o'ciock
train Thursday and went at once to the
" Commercial. During the evening he
engaged liveryman to take him out into
the country at an early hour the next morn
ing. He retired shortly atier ten O'Clock
and occupied a room on the second floor.
The room has two windows opening over q
wooden awning and when Mr.. Bostic was
shown to the room be requested that one OF
the windows be raised about two feet He
was aroused about five O'Clock Saturday
morning and few minutes later he called
for landlord Winters and told him that he
was unable to find his pantsloons- Mr..
Winters remembered having stepped over
some article of clothing at the foot Of the
stairs and returning found It was . pair Of
pantaloons, with pen knife and bunch OF
keys laying along side Of them, on the floor.
The pension examiner identified the panta-
looms, knife and keys as his but was unable
TO find 5000 that was in one OF the pockets

night he had neglected to lock or bolt the

thieves concealed themselves in the house
before it was locked up for the purpose OF

room securely bolted and locked they enter
ed the room Of Mr.. Bostic and robbed him,
finding the door Of bis room standing open.
he suspects several bad characters about

CyclopaedIa For the People.
JoHNsoS's UNIVERSAL CYcLoPAEDIA is
part of the necessary furniture Of every
home, school, and Office, and it is the
greatest and best work ever published n this
country or Europe We have had the
pleasure of examining this work. Of which
we have read 50 much and have been led to
expect great deal. and We will. state right
here that it is certainly appalling to see the
great amount of information it gives the
extensive number and great variety of sub
jects not embraced in any other cyclopedia
ever published; of living and thrilling inter-
est to every reader in all the varied walks Of
life, from the ordinary schoolboy to the
greasest statesman and the most renowned
philosophers and scientists in this and
every other country. We state only a fact
when we say that there has been better
talent and more of it engaged upon this
CycloPedia than upon any oLher ever pub
lished in any other country. We state a
fact again when We say that this work has
cost the publishers, A. J. Johnson & Co., OF
New York, more money than any other
similar work extant.
A library, however elaborate otherwise,
would be barren and incomplete without it.
A college an academy, or public school,
deprived of this prolific soUsce of knowledgs
must ever remain in the rear OF those thus
properly equipped. The family reared
without any such advantageous instruction
must take its place in society in a lowel
scale Of intelligence than that which ha'
had daily access to these treasures Of kl0rledge
In word, all professions, occupations anC
spheres of society in the present age demand
book of universal reference-a wan
created by the habit Of general reading anC
the spirit of universal inquiry. We con
clude therefore. by awarding to johnson
Universal CycloE<dia the merit OF truthfulnes
Of unbiased fairness, Of comprehensiveness
of finexpensiveness, and believe that it emf

a romance. He negotiated deals embracing
millions with the foremost speculaiors Of
America. England and the continent of
Europe. At one time he was reputed TO be
worth a quarter of million. Everything
he touched turned to gold, and the figures
in his private ledger were all '.in the mil

The Star concludes its article by saying
that the climate of Kansas City has been
made so uncongenial for Wilson that he
has gone to st. Louis, where he is assisting

Disorders Which Affect rEe
 Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known. Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and other complaints of the urinary organs are not ordinarily cured in severe cases, but they may be averted by timely medication. A use ful stimulant of the urinary glands has ever 0een found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine which not only affords the requisite stimu- Jus when they become inactive, but increases their viger and secretive power. By increasing the ac tivity of the kidneys and bladder, this medi cine has the additional effect of cx- polling from the blood impurities which it is tho peculiar office of those organs to eliminate and pass off The BItters IS also a purifier and strength ener of the bowels, an invlgorant of the stomach, and matchless remedy for biliousnnss and fever and ngur. It counteracts tendency to pleIna- ture decay, and sustains and comforts the aged and infirm.
