Burglars Unnecessarily Attempt to
 Crack a Bank Vault.

That gang of safe cracks is at work in the valley there now can be no doubt Recently an attempt was made to blow open the vault of the city treasury and only last week a store at Mesa was entered and Ithe safe cracked.
 Sunday morning P K Hickey of the Western Investment bank, noticed that an attempt had been made ito carry off his cash without permission, but he is extremely gratiied to find that his burglar proof safe withstood the ef- forts of the nervy robbers. His at tention was first attracted by finding one of the side doors of the bank open. He made an investigation and found that somebody had been tamper- ing with his vault.
 Two holes were drilled alongside of the combination, as in the case of the Mesa robbery. In this case the burg lars ware not successful having prob ably been heightened away before they forced the door. Even if they did suc- ceed in opening the vault, they would have had to crack a small safe in the vault which contained tine valuable papers and money. That would have been contract that would disgust any burglar.

A stomach of undigested food is about as unhealthy mass as one can well imagine.
 What can be done with it?
 There it stays. It wont digest. It burns up, ferments and decays; be comes poisonous (as all putrid matter does) and causes great pain and deep seated disorders.
 In order to change all this, take Shaker Digestive Cordial
 It stops fermentation and decay at once, so Hhajt no more poisons are ere ated.
 It clears the stomach of poisons al- ready there It helps it to turn the food that remains, into healthful nour- ishment. It strengthens the stomach for the next meal
 Here is the whole philosophy and cure of indigestion in a few words. And whats more, it's all true. Try it.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is for sale by druggists, price 10 cents to $1 a bottle.

SENSES OF'THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is
 Sightless.


 Throughout my whole life, says a blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which I see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in a certain way bright ness.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. I can always tell when others are looking at me, and can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 I can also discern character accurate ly in the touch: of the hand have certain instincts for which I have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del icate.

UNPROTECTED GAME.
Suggestions for Sportsnen Who Want to
 Shoot Near Cities.


 Shoot Near Cities.
 A good many shooters are puzzled to know how they can get practice fo1 bird-shooting near the cities during close seasons without paying for prac. tice at the traps.
 There are several kinds of birds which fly in such manner as to require skill in the killing, and are not protected by law at any time. Of course, a small gauge gun is best for such practice, as it takes more skill to kill with it than with a big gun, and the more skill re- quired the better the practice.
 The kingfsher is a rapidly-darting flyer, rather shy and hard to kill. With a 2S-gauge gun a shooters abilities would be well tested.
 The English sparrow, if put up badly scared, will give considerable sport, and the man who can get three with two shots out of small flying flock may regard himself as a good shot. Ot course, a man wouldn't aim at the center of the flock, and pull. He aims at par ticular birds, and. if he misses the ones aimed at, he calls the shot miss. Red winged and crow blackbirds fly rap idly, when their nests are rot near by They are not protected, and may be found in partly wooded pastures.
 Some sportsmen may object to this as being useless slaughter, and it would be if the birds were thrown away. He would dress them all, except the king fishers, which taste fshy, and the pot pie they make would be followed by another before long. The English spar rows make a fine stew, as the flesh is al ways hard and sweet.

Produce of Fraction. of a Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops o1 water, little grains of sand" making the universe has had one more exempli- fication. It is the custom of the Bank of England not to pay fractions of a penny. In the case of dividends on government stock these fractions have in the course of years amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, which amount, it is stated, was few years ago paid over to the chan cellor of 4'," "xchequer.

snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

sion of the Flint 6 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich., recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of them of colossal size. have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take large force of boys several days to do.

until Topeka people hear all kinds Of
talk about new enterprises and old ones
being revived.
The latest thing in that line is a letter
from J. r. McIlvreid, the originator Of
the dollar gas company in Topeka,
who says that he will be here in a few
days to push his enterprise to compile
ton. 1t cOntemplates the expenditure
of $500, 600 in the construction of a new
gas plant in Topeka Topeka people
have heard little of the project for sew
eral months because McIlvreid found
himself unable to enlist the interest of
capitalists in the new gas plant
In the letter Mr.. McIlVreid says that
he is just recovering from an attack Of
pneumonia, and Will be in Topeka as
soon as he is able to come. He lives in
Kansas City, and was one of the pro
motors Of the dollar gas company in
that city.
1t will be necessary to secure an ex-
tension Of the franchise from the city
council. 1t is probable that the one
granted a year ago has lapsed, because
the work has not been kept up. Several
lots were purchased and an Office built
soon after the franchise was granted,
but the work came to a standstiu sew
eral months ago.
The city council will be asked to do
something to show their renewed faith
in the new company and in the prosper
ity which bids fair to reach Topeka.
