Church Robbers.

For a month or more thieves have been
getting into churches in the city aad rob-
bing the poor boxes. Some of the
churches have been visited three or four
times. Friday and Saturday no less than
six churches were entered, but Just how
much booty was secured no one knows.
On Saturday evening William Hooper,
the sexton OF st. Johns Church, saw a
man in the entry and was in the act of
breaking open the poor box. He tackled
the man but he showed fight and struck
Mr.. Hooper over the head with the box.
Mr.. Hooper was glad to escape further in
jury, as the thief was a large and power
ful looking individual.
Mr.. Hooper didn't get good look at
the man, so thus far the police do not
know what sort of looking chap is do
ing the work.
The poor boxes in st. Mary's Catholic
Church have been robbed four times with

To THE EDITOR OF The NEWS:
sIR-At meeting held by the Reform
Club yesterday afternoon it was voted
TO send in the petition against the leader
ship of John Nelson TO the next meeting
Of the Republican city committee. The
petition Is signed by 460 Hebrew voters.
which is over two-thirds of the total
number.
1t was also decided that this should be
the last precaution TO take in petitioning
the Republican city committee to clear
the disgrace from the Hebrews and To dis
band with the party in case the just de-
mana of the intelligent Hebrew citizens
not to maintain John Nelson, as lead
er, is not granted. A vote OF thanks
to The NEWS was unanimously adopted
for recognizing the justice of this move
ment by announcing editorially that such
as John Nelson aud his gang are of no
earthly use TO the Republican party.
