STOLE THE PiNKS. :
Mean Sneak Thieving at Dirwapgers Flow
Store.

Tuesday night Mr. Dirwanger, the
florist had occasion to go to his store on
& Exchange street at about ten o'clock,
something he rarely does. 1t proved
to be very fortunate for he found the rear
door wide open and as the night was a
cold one, all his flowers and plants would
have frozen, but for his timely arrival
He also found that large box of beau
tiful carnations that he had ready to
fill an order the next day had been stol-
en-. The thief had opened the rear door
by putting his hand through ventila-
tor in the glass and sliding the bolt.
The thief then went off and left the door
open. All such sneak thieves are pre-
sum ably mean, but this one was certain
ly meaner than the average. 1t was
rather spiteful thing to leave that door
open go that all the flowers would freeze.

Are Weak, Nervous, Tire Easily and Work
is an Effort.
There are numberless people who do
not call themselves sick, and yet who
feel weak, nervous, languid or tired; they
have lost their vim, power of endurance
and ambition to work. They feel miser
able. not because they are actually sick,
but because they are not well.
People complain that they are weak,
nervous. tired and exhausted that they
have poor or variable appetite, no
strength, no nerve, they become irritable
cross. blue and discouraged. In some
cases there are pains and aches in various
parts of the body, and there ia often in
digestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind.
dull, cloudy head, and general dispirited
feeling. Sleepless, RESTLESS wakeful
nights follow. The brain tires easily and
there may be tendency to drcwsiness
during the day. Neglect OF these symp-
toms results in excessive nervous prostra-
tion or paralysis, with numbness, tremb-
ling, cold feet and legs, priokling sensa-
ton and weakness and WEAKNESS of the
limbs.

A Novel Safe Breaker.

When one of our we'll known insurance
men left the office Tuesday night for
home he pulled the cash drawer cut of
the desk and locked it in the safe. When
he came down to the office yesterday
morning he found four five dollar bills
badly mntillated. One of them was on
the Traders National of tn 8 city. 1t
seems that mouse had got into the SAFE
probably when the door was open during
the day. and had nibbled the bills to
make nest. The Traders bank re-
deemed their bill, and the others will
doubtless be redeemed by the government.

such story about. but that Manager
Leonard will certainly manage the Port
land team this year, and that he will be
on hand the 10Th of April, when the
team assem- bles for the first time,

among hall cranks, because Of the above
rumor, lest we lose our deservedly popu-
