BIG HAUL BY BURGLARS.
Store at lions Grove Robbed of $500
Worth of Goods.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
ZIoNs GROVE, April 2s.-The largest and
bOldest robbery ever committed in this
vicinity was perpetrated at Che general store
of Isaac Davis at this place last night by men
who are at present unknown The store was
robbed Of $500 worth of dry goods, boots.
shoes, cigars, etc. The robbery was com
mitted at about midnight The store is stu
ated in lonely place The nearest house is
500 yards distant. The stolen goods were
hauled away in two wagons, each drawn by
one horse The robbery was not discovered
until the clerk opened the store at seven
o'clock this morning
The clerk gives a good description Of one
of the suspected parties. He says that at
about four o'clock yesterday afternoon a very
plainly dressed middle-aged man called at
the store and inquired for the proprietor. He
was told that Mr.. Davis was away and would
not return until to-day. Davis leaves here
every Tuesday morning for Shenandoah with
farm produce and returns on Wednesdays.
After receiving the information the stranger
surveyed the store and surroundings with
some deliberation and then went away.
Entrance to the store was gained by the
robbers through the basement Examination
of the road showed the wheel marks Of two
wagons, which turned at a point about 500
yards fiom the store, and hundreds of foot
marks show that the goods were carried from
the store to the wagons at the point stated
The wheel tracks were traced to point
where the road branches in three directions
one road leading to Shenandoah, another to
Mahsnoy City, and the third to Slabtown,
but which road the wagons followed from the
forks it has been impossible to determine.

in this important department OF the
government are women, many OF whom
are the most expert money counters and
counterfeit detectOrs in the world. In
fact, only experts can properly perform
the work that is required; for not only
must the sOiled and mUtllated money
be accurately and rapidly counted, but
all counterfeit notes must be detected
and thrown out. When we consider
that some cOunterfelters can so cleVerly
initiate genuine money that their spu-
riOus notes will circulate through the
country without detection, and are not
discovered until they are finally turned
into the Treasury, some idea Of the pro-
ficiency of these experts can be gained
especially when we bear in mind that
these notes are often so worn that the
imprint on them can scarcely be deci-
phered. 1t not infreQuently happens
that these bad notes are detected simply
by the feel Of them, which, in some cases
is really the only way Of discovering
the fraud; for while counterfeiter may
occasionally succeed in so perfectly imi-
tating the design of p note as to mislead
even an expert, 1t is next to impossible
for him to counterfeit the paper used
by the government"

And so the weary world goes On.

Some love the tent and some the field,
often wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who yield
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely In the strife,
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, thOrny way;
Some struggle on where some have tiedi
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash:
Some fall back where some move on;

Bees Capture a Wagon.

A tribe Of vagrant bees, following
the lead Of a near-sighted old queen
who had lost her bearings sWarmed
about Haswelps drug store at the cor
ner OF Sixteenth and Lawrence streets
yesterday afternoon, and for while
had the corner all to themselves. The
unusual sight of thousands of honey
bees buzZing around one of the busiest
corners In town soon attracted a big
crowd Of people, who at first stood OF
at a respectful distance and looked on.
The queen lit on the tail gate Of an
express wagon, and II was curious to
see how quickly the bees swarmed
around her until they were piled up
foot deep, while hundreds OF the in-
sects bu2zed around overhead or lit on
the horse, on the sidewalk and on the
clothing Of the bystanders. When II
was found that the bees were paclf-
oally disposed the bystanders moved
closer, and some boys, bolder than the
others, even picked up handfuls Of the
bees and were not harmed.
Some one got packing box from the
drug store, poured molasses in the bot

bees but they did not move into the
habitation provided. A big policeman,
seeing the crowd, sauntered up to find
out what was the trouble. 1t was de-
slrable In the interests of the public
safety to get the bees to- move on, but
he didn't know how to go about Il, 80
he had to remain on duty and walt
for developments.
Occasionally a ventuTesOme boy
would stir up the pile Of bees, just 20
see the crowd scatter. The bees would
settle on passengers in the open cars
as they stopped just before crossing
Sixteenth street, and then there would
be a panic. Women on bicycles ran
into the clouds Of insects before they
were aware OF their danger, and,
screechlng at every revolution, they
scorched down the street frantic with
fear, just because few dozen harmless
bees were tickling them on the face,
neck or arms.
Where the swarm came from or
where they set out to go was, Of course,
q mystery. Some farmer around
Wheatland or Littleton Is probably the
loser and the owner of the express
wagon now has a swarm Of bees which
he has no use for, but was forced 20
take home with him because they took
a fancy to his wagon and would not
leave II. A young man who said he
knew all about bees attempted 60
shovel the bees into box with a paper
fan. They offered no resistance, but
would not stay In the box, and In the
end the expressman had to drive home
with halo Of bees encircling his head
and the wagon bed half full Of bees.
