A CLEAR CASE.
Hobo Wilson to be Tried for the
Crime OF Burglary.

On Friday last Clinton Z. White
found one of the hobo gentry ransack-
ing the basement of his house at 1914
Seventh street, and after an exciting
chase succeeded in turning him over
to an officer
The thief, who gave the name of A.
Wilson, was charged with burglary,
and his preliminary examination Was
conducted in the Police Court yester-
day morning, resulting in his being
held to answer, bail being fixed in the
sum of $1,000.
Wilson could give no excuse for pill
laying the basement, except that he
was hungry. The officers think he
is one Of the backdoor thieves who are
infesting the city, and there is now
at the police station quite a quantity
of stolen silver knives, forks and
spoons which have not as yet been
claimed. Who owns them?
The officers have learned that Wilson
recently entered the residence of Mrs
P. J. Henesy, 724 Seventh street, and
stole a valuable pair of shoes. A few
days ago Wilson entered the residence
of Police Sergeant McManus at Twen-
tieth and K streets, and was escorted
TO the street al the point of a pistol in
the hands of the officers wife.
While confined in a cell on what is
known as the riverside" Sunday last,
Wilson put in his time trying to effect
his escape. but succeeded only in rip
ping up a few feet Of sheet iron with
which the cell was lined. The solid
masonry wall staggered him and he de-
sisted, but smiled when the officers
were investigating.
From the silverware and cutlery
found on Wilson at the time of his ar
rest Officer Maley, who is handling the
case, feels certain that ne is closely
connected with the many robberies
that have been reported of late

OUR NATIONAL TROUBLE.
What We, as People, Should Realize
and Guard Against.

Have you noticed that there are more
broken-down men and weak women on
our streets to-day than ever before? Have
you not noticed that certain of your
friends, whom you have always known TO
be strong and healthy, are, for some rea-
son, weak and low spirited? Is it not pos
slole that you yourself feel trifie less Wig
orous than in the past? Is 1t fact that
the American people are growing weaker.
OF IS II due to some local cause? There
can be little doubt that it is owing to the
Increase OF dyspepsia in the community.
We have been called a nation OF dyspep-
tics, and there can be little doubt that 1t is
true.
When people are in such a state, when
nature is weak and broken, what would
common sense dictate should be done?
Freclsely what physicians say should be
done, viz; Assist nature, stimulate her
Tagging faculties. build her up. How? BY
using pure medicinal stimulant. and for
this purpose there is nothing equal to pure
whisky. There is no whisky so pure and
efficient as Duffy's Pure Malt 1t stimu-
lates healthily and builds UP wasted It's
sues. 1t assists the stomach and restores
the health. 1t is popular because 1t is so
efficient. Great care should be taken,
however, to secure only the genuine. Dis
trust any dealer who for any reason seeks
to induce you to buy something "'jusI as
good"

A VETERANS DELUSION.
His Supposed Stolen Papers Were
Recovered.

On Christmas Eve Frank Wessner.
an old Grand Army man who had come
over from Napa to spend the holidays,
reported at police headquarters that
his pension and other Grand Army pa
peIs had been stolen from him at a
saloon at Fourth and K streets, and
that SO had disappeared at the same
time.
Officers Talbot and Taylor: who were
detailed on the case, found the missing
papers safe at the saloon. They had
been picked up from the floor where
WeSsner scattered them after he had
looked too long on the cup that ex
hilarates, and had grown young again.
Whether or not he had really been
robbed of his money, the officers were
not able to determine.
