THE STORY OF A CRIME.
Man Who Robbed n Jevveier's SAFE
VIII Tell How He
Did Ii.

The man who stole LOCO worth of dia-
monds, rubies and sapphires from Charles
Harsch. the jeweler. will go on the wit
ness stand in Judge Scarrltts division OF
the circuit court to-day and tell the in
teresting story of how he stole them. Her
man Konrad has reformed. He has served
the term in prison which satisfied the law
for his crime. He has married the Young
woman TO whom he was engaged before he
became Il thief, and to whom he owes ms
reformation and II was she who urged
him to testify in court to-day because MS
testimony might help Mr.. HarSch 10 re-
cover the value of the jewels stolen by
him.
Charles Harsch had a jewelry store on
Eleventh street, between Main and Wal
nut. He gave a first mortgage 10 the Met
ropolitan National bank for a loan and
second and third mortgages to his mother,
Mrs. Christiana Harsch. In April, 1888. the
bank took possession of the store under
the mortgage and placed in charge Her
man Konrad, who had been a clerk for
Harsch. Mr.. Harsch told Cashier STREAM,
of the bank, to not allow Konrad to learn
the combination of the big safe, where
thousands of dollars worth of jewelry was
stored. But Stream went to the store one
night to open the safe. He had the COM
bination written in a memorandum book.
1t was, 80, two turns to the right, 50, a
turn to the left, stop on 20"
1t was SO dark Stream could not see the
combination. He called Konrad to light
matches for him while he worked the
combination. konrad watched and made
mental notes of the combination and the
next day opened the safe, took out $1,000
worth of jewels and fled to Mexico. He
was caught and brought back. pleaded
guilty in the criminal court and was given
Two years in the penitentiary. He WAS
pardoned last Christmas day and the fol-
lowing Sunday married the young woman
who had been faithful to him in all his
troubles As soon as he married he was
given a good place in Il jewelry factory
here. In court yesterday. while he was
waiting TO testify, his young wife sat be-
side him.
The suit on trial was brought by Mrs.
Christiana Harsch against the bank to
recover the worth of the Jewels taken by
Konrad. She claims it was the fault of
Cashier Stream that the jewels were stolen.

MILLER'S WILL is BROKEN.
Circuit Court. Jury Decides in Favor
of the Blood Relatives of the
Iafe Nick Miller.

The will Of John Nicholas Miller. who
was known to all the old settlers as Nick
Miller. was broken yesterday by the YER
dict of a jury in the circuit court. The
suit TO break the will was brought by
Mrs. Minnie Short. the only child of Mr..
Miller. He almost ignored her in his will.
The law relating to wills provides that be-
quests must be paid in the order in
which they appear in the will. The first
beuuest in the will of Mr.. Miller was 81. zoo
TO Mary Patterson, his servant. Then fol-
lowed requests TO the church, and Mrs.
Short was to get what was left.
In this case there would be nothing left.
because Mr.. Miller's estate was
ed SO that if the first requests were paid,
Mrs. Short would get nothing.
The jury's verdict declared simply that
the will was not the will of Mr.. Miller: in
other words. that he was not in his right
mind when he made it.

That He Will Do His Part 70 Make
vinoI Better Known.

ut is perfectly wonderful" said a
member OF the well known firm OF Hall
& Lyon CO., 1.-The great and ever in
creasing demand that there is for Vinol.
II does seem to take the place of so
many other remedies that before it's
introduction were largely sold.
This is not strange, when you con-
slider what absolute merit Vinol pos
sesses, while being at the same time
delightful remedy TO take. The coop
Grafton that is being given us by chem
lists everywhere is of course a great
factor in the success that is being
achieved.
Here is a letter have just received
from Mr.. Samuel j. Foster. He Is a
very well known chemist of Salem
Mass. and is connected with the firm
Of c. II. e. j. Price OF that city. He
writes me as follows:--
81 would like 10 tell you that / find
Vinol To be all you claim for ii. What
is more the public have also found out
that Vinol is a remedy that possesses
intrinsic merit The tremendous sales
which Vinol experiences is sufficient
evidence that IL is able 10 accomplish
ali that is claimed for II.
You may rest assured that ! Viii
lose no opportunity To make this Won
derful tonic Reconstruction better known
Very truly yours.

iii the orders all over the country: bu1
thank goodness, the facilities OF Chester
Kent & Co. are such that they are hav-
ing no trouble beyond being rushed IL,
turning out a sufficient amount of Vinol
so that all are being supplied.
II would hate to think what would
happen did anything prevent our
promptly filling our orders, for there
are too many people that have been
brought so near recovery already by the
use of Vinol that TO discontinue it's use
even for a short time, might prove ex-
tremely disastrous In effecting a com"
