SUCCESSFUL BURGLARS.
THREE UNIQUE EOBBEEs IN FAIR
MONT md yICINITY.
The Scheme II Worked by Two Men, and
Has Yielded Them Large Returns In the
shape of Money. Jeweriy, etc.

A unique game, which seems TO be
quite profitable TO its originators. isoe-
ing worked around Fairmont and the
eastern portion OF the city. The opera
tors are two white men, who cruise
around until they find house the occu-
pants of which are not at home. Then
one Of the men goes into the back yard
and begins 10 cut up wood IN the most
industrious manner, in order TO deluxe
the neighbOrs into the belief that ne
Is employed there. while his accomplice
effects an entrance through the most
convenient door or window.
SUCCESSFUL RAID.
This neat scheme was worked with
most gratifying results yesterday
at the house of Mr. Bowles'
on Twenty sixth street, between
Il. and 5. Mr.. and Mrs. Bowlcs
were both absent, as was also young
lady who boards there. The thief went
through the house at his leisure and care
fully examined every article it contained
lie finally selected two sclid-gold rings
and a leaf-shapod gold breastpin be-
longing TO Mrs. Bowlcs and several ar
tclls OF wearing apparel from the ward
robe of the young lady boarder. and he
and his pal, who had by this time pre-
pared a goodiy pile of wood for use,
took their departure.
The burglars then paid a visit 70 the
residence OF Mrs. Martin, situated on
Twenty-third street, In Fairmont. where
the same programme was successfully
carried out. netting them 81 in hard
cash, and thirteen chickens.
Emboldened by their success, and wish
ing TO make a thorough job while they
were about IL, the marauders next
dropped i'm AT the residence OF Mr.. Why
brew, on TWenty-sixth street, between VI
and y. and finding that gentleman away
from home one OF them proceeded 70
furnish him supply Of winter wood
sawed and split to a proper size. while
the other minutely inspected his per-
sonal possessions.
4 WATTR-HAuL.
In this case, however. their labor was
lost. for they found nothing which they
particularly coveted. and they departed,
leaving the Interior Of the house look
ing as though n cyclone had struck IT,
These instances are only a few OF SINH
lar depredati0ns committed In Fairmont
and its environments. and the people
there are afraid to leave their homes
unguardcd. even IN broad daylight. lest
they should receive call from these
experts. II Is said that the thieves
have secured goods. jewelry, and money
TO a considerable amount in tho past few
weeks. and their nefarious work is still
being carried on.

Paying g Kings Doctor. 1s4o.

The first notice we find of royal pay ments to physician was when Nicho- las de Fernehan was called to the court of Henry III. at salary, until he be- came bishop of Durham. In the ac- counts for the royal household, which date from the thirty-third year of Henry VI, and continue during the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII, we find no regular allowance was made to the royal physicians-they were given a reward" i. e., honorarium; the royal apothecaries, however, were paid as in the form of legal demand. Among the Cottonian manuscripts in the British museum are the accounts of Henry VIII. On May 16, in the twen- ty-drst year of his reign we note: '"To Cuthbert, the Kings Apothecarie, in full; xxx.l. xii.s vi.d."
 On October 13: "To the Sarge4nt Apothecary, his bill xviii H. iis d. i"
 In the twenty-third year of his reign, on February 1: "In reward to Dr. Yakesley and another physitian, iiiii Il. ,"

ANCIENT WARFARE.

EXCHANGE of prisoners was practiced in very early times by both the Greeks and the Romans.
 WHEN the fighting bishop of Nor wich," in 1883, stormed the town of Gravelines, he massacred the entire population
 Ar the siege of Jerusalem by Titus the captive Jews were crucifed by the Romans in such numbers that, as Josephus says, there was no longer wood of which to make the crosses nor space for them to stand.
 DURING the middle ages reprisals were common. The vengeance taken for brave defense of town or castle was generally the hanging of the most prominent officers and men among the defenders
 WHEN Richard l., with the other crusaders, took Messina, all the noble and good-looking women of the town were earned off. Some were after wards ransomed, while the greater part were held as slaves by their captors.
 WHEN Emperor Henry in 1194 cap tured Salerno he ordered the wives and daughters of the leading citizens to be put up at auction and sold, and all these unhappy ladies were thus dis posed of to brutal soldiery.

From ths World- Rerald. omana. Neo.

A Wortd-Herdtd reporter was attracted by the evidence of renewed activity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce A suburb Of Omaha, Neb., and enquired the cause. Mir. Andrew Finkenkeler, who was member of Company B of the First Iowa Volunteers during the war made the follow ing explanation so far as he himself is con- cerned:
 'In July, 1866, while my company was on the march through to Austin, Texas was attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being weak l was sunstruck and remained un- conscious for several hours. Every sum- mer since have been unable to stand the heat of the sun, and have been compelled to give up my work. There was in my head a bearing down feeling which increased until it seemed my head would burst, and it caused a ringing in my ears, and palpita- tion of the heart set in, so that the slightest noise would set my heart dumping. Sev. eral times it has rendered me unconscious for from seven to ten hours at time. In addition to this the rheumatism extended up my entire side until it drew my head down on my shoulder. lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work.

My ailments increased In intensity until was assured that there was no hope for me Dur. ing last year went into the butcher bust ness, but the dampness from the ice used in. creased my rheumatic pains to such an ex. tent thatI was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my house and bed for nearly six months

The ringing in my ears be. gan to lessen in volume and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from tue time took my first pill was able to sit nr in bed. On January 1st, was able to go out and walk around a little.

A Bears Queer Memento.

A big bear killed recently in the Dead Indian country, Oregon, was found to be carrying an odd memento of pre- vions episode with hunters, in which he came off victorious though not un- scathed. In the stife joint of one of his hind legs was an unusually large tusk of dog which the hunters said must have belonged to big bear dog. The tusk was well overgrown with skin, and apparently had been in the bears leg many years.
