G. l.. Sweeney, the confectionery man on
n street, near Twenty y-sixth, had an exper-
fence with a burglar last night which made
his hair stand on end.
Mr.. Sweeney had locked up his store and
started up stairs, where he lives with his
family. On the stairway he felt man
graphing to get hold of his arms. and he
put more motion into his body than he has
done before for many day. The man fol-
lowed on and made desperate effort to get
hold of Sweeneys pocketbools, They were
still fighting at the head of the stairway
when Mrs. Sweeney rushed out of her bed
room and began screaming The thief then
concluded it was time 10 go and, ascending
the stairway, he escaped through back
window.
Mr.. Sweeney had sold team of horses
during the day and the thief no doubt
thought he had the money he received for it
with him. All the cash MIR. Sweeney had on
him was the receipts of the day in his store.
Officer Thomas was called in and took n de-
scription of the burglar, but he is still at
large. The thug had secreted himself in the
store before Mr.. Sweeney locked up.

Domestic soap outlasts cheap soap
Light Company Wtn Enlarge.

A rumor is atloat which is troubling the
people who reside near the electric light
plant on Third avenue greatly. 1t Is to the
effect that the electric light company has
decided to enlarge its plant sufficiently to
put in two new dynamos. The rumor comes
from the best of authority and it has put
the neighbors into furry of excitement. 1t
was announced several weeks ago through
The BEE that such move was on foot, but
the announcement brought down such a
hornets nest about the ears of the company
that the scheme was allowed to go by the
board for the time being. 1t is now stated
that the company has renewed the scheme,
and has really had the plans drawn for the
enlargement.
The adjoining property owners state that
the electricity factory has almost ruined
their property already, and they do not IN
tend to allow anv more improvements to be
made that will insure the plants remaining
in that place permanently. They think that
the proper place for an institution of that
kind and size is away from the residence
part of the city, down among the tracks or
in some otherp place where ad joining property
will not be affected. They renew their
threat, made some time ago, of securing an
injunction if the company persists in its
plans,

MARTYRS TO HEADACHES
The Experience of Miss Louise Lincoln
Tucker, A Boston Saleswoman.

The women who are martyrs to sick
headache are numbered by thousands,
and among the victims none suffer more
than the employees in stores and shops,
SAYS the Lynn Sunday Nows.
lheir work Is continiug, the hours are
long, and tho surroundings are often
such as TO aggravate any tendency TO
headaches.
The experience OF one OF tho best
known clerks OF Chandler & Co.'S large
store on Winter street, Boston, is
worthy the attention OF all who are sim
ilarly situated.
Miss Louise Lincoln Tucker has boon
employed in this establishment for tho
past four years, and during that timc,
as for years before. she has suffered
with sick headaches tu such an extent
rs to compel her many times to leave
her business and return to her home in
West Roxbury.
SO violent have these attacks been
that she has often been unable to walk
from the store to tho depot, and has
boen compelled to call carriage.
This succession Of tortures continued
until last March, when Miss Tucker's
attention was attracted by the story OF
another woman experiences, published
in Boston paper.
She had spent large amounts of money
on physicians, who had been unable TO
relieve her sufferiugs. She decided to
try The merits of the highly extolled
Paine's celery compound.
She took it without the knowledge Of
her family or friends.
But the change in her appearance
soon attracted tho attention of the
members of her family and her business
associates. and, thoroughly convinced,
she one day told how Paino's celery
compound had wrought for her the euro
which physicians had boen unable to
accomplish.
For the first time in the years OF her
! employment she had gone through an
entire month without u return of tho
attacks, and not only relief but an alb
soluto cure has been effected by the
compound.
SO grateful is Miss Tucker for the
cure in her case, that she is willing TO
let all who suffer us she did, know OF tho
only remedy she ever found.

Tho Baby Saved Her.

Mrs Albert Miller was tried before Jus
ticc Wen yesterday for assault and battery.
Mrs. Day, a sister-in-law, was the complain
ant, and the trial was the result OF family
fracas which took place about six weeks ago.
The reason of the postponement was that
Mrs, Miller had become the mother of a very
small child, and 1t was the child that saved
her again yesterday from a confinement in
the county Jail Mrs. Miller was fined $40.
She did not have the money so payment of
the fine was out of the question The

Conductor Cornelius House Ransacked by
Thieves who Wanted Jewelry.
Charley Cornelius, the conductor on the
Milwaukee road who lives at Cpl Sixth
avenue, left for his regular trip on the road
Tuesday noon. When he returned home
yesterday afternoon and opened up his
house he found that some one had been There
since he left, and the house WAS in terribly
befuddled condition. The intruder climbed
in at a cellar window pred open the door
leading from the cellar, and went all over
the house. There was no. a bureau drawer
or cupboard that had not been opened
and thoroughly investigated, and the con-
tents were scattered about the floor in a way
that would have made even a passably par
ticular housewife sick. Mrs. Cornelius had
been away from home, so that the thieves
had been allowed to have their own way.
MIR. Cornelius had a brand new 500 suit of
clothes hanging in a closet, but it was not
taken, and 50 far as he can tell now there is
nothing whatever missing. The thieves
were evidently in search of money or jew
elry, but as there was none in the house they
were disappointed. A fine fall overcoat was
lying in a chair, as though the visitors might
have intended to take it, but were frightened
off IN the midst of their operations.

last Sunday to make a visit to the School for

Among other things that were displayed

as i'll as he thought he was. The rope
which had tied him to the ground broke
under his increase IN spirits, and he leaped
on his feet and made n rush at one of his
guests, well known abstractor, who
sought safety in precipltate and indis-
criminate fight. Just as he cleared the
fence at single bound he looked around and
saw that the bull had transferred his atteu-
tlons to one of his companions, an attorney
whose width and wisdom" are alike objects
of envy TO good many of his rivals at the
Pottawattamie county bar. But all
his legal learning availed him moth
ing IN n contest with bull that didn't know
the difference between habeas corpus and
procedendo, and his width was an abso-
Lutte hindrauce to his welfare. In making
the race he was not careful enough to see
where he was going, and jumped head first
into the slop trough. He emerged moment
later with all the evidences of his unhaemp
experience clingiug to him, among thby
