of Frank Fowler, on North Broad

detected, as after each attempt he
would go out into the street and look
up and down to see if any one was
coming. Mr.. Fowler was not at home,
being out of the city, and his family
was there alone. After three attempts
the would-be burglar gave it up and
disappeared. Two or three weeks ago
an attempt was also made to enter

r. G.. Pickett, who has been travel
ing for RoSenberger & Currier since
the latter part of last October, will
have several matters to explain If he
returns to Mankato. He is due in
this city the latter part Of this week,
eco riding to the itinerary kept at his
firms office, but he shipped his sample
case in last week, and this morning
the firm received three of his mileage
books accompanied by letter from
him saying that the other book is in
pawn and can be secured. He also
made a proposition to settle in full
for the collections which he has made
in this trip, if the firm would keep
quiet" What there is to keep quiet
about he did not state, but this may
possibly be explained by the following
letter which the firm also received
Tuesday:
NASHUA, Iowa, Feb. II, 1896.
RoSENBERGER & Co.
The salesman, Pickett, that travel
ed for your house has quit working
for you. Do you know where he has
gone, as L am somewhat interested
about the man? He has kept my
daughters company for few months
and they went away to be married
last Thursday, and never have heard
from them yet. | was informed last
Saturday that he is married man.

was only % years of age and had no
bad habits. He seemed like perfect
gentleman in every respect, seemed
to be good scholar in all kinds of
business and seemed to have lots of
money with him and told me he had
nice house and lot in Mankato and a
house and lot in Minneapolis, and /
took him at his word to be all right.
He told me he was going to st. Louis
or some other part of Missouri to 60
into business for himself, as he was
tired of travelling as salesman.
Now if you know anything against
this young man let me know by re-
turn mail, as am very much worried
over the affair. He gave his name as
r. Q. Chapman; and l have found out
his name is Pickett on his sales he
has made here on goods. Write me
the whole particulars, as soon as this
is received, as we must have the man
looked up. He also told me he had
worked for a firm of undertakes
supplies, and had travelled on the
road for seven years and had always
had a good recommend, and he also
had money in the bank in Mankato.
Please write me in full and oblige,
MAGGIE HELMS.
In the same mail came a letter to
Chief Yates from T. r. Shope, the
city marshal of Nashua, making ex-
haustive inquiries about Pickett and
mis- family and his affairs.
Pickett was at Waverly, near Mas
hua, when he wrote. Travelling men
who have seen him lately have told
his employers that he was not attend

Edison's Marvellous Discovery.

New YORK, March 2O.-Thomas A. Edi-
son has discovered in connection with his
Y ray experiment a substance so sensitive
to the rays that by using plates coated with
it he can see through the human hand at
q distance of fifteen feet. The substance
is tungstate of calcium. Edison discov-
cred its powers after he had tested 1,S0O
substances. The tungstate of calcium is
used in it's crystalline form. A curious
phenomenon connected with the new plate
is that after it has been taken away from
the influence of the X rays it remains
phosphorescent for some time, thus re-
tanning the picture produced upon it. The
length of time it will retain the picture
depends upon the strength of the rays
