Hon. J. u. BOTKlN,
Congressman-at-Largef from Kansas.
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. l have been
afflicted, more or less, for a quarter of
a century with catarrh of the stomach
and constipation; residence in Wash
ington has increased these troubles.
A few bottles of your medicines have
given me almost complete relief, and l
am sure that a continuation of their
use will effect permanent cure.
Pe-ru-na is surely a wonderful rem
edy for catarrhal affections.

STORE ROBBED.
A Boy entered tho White Hardware store
sunday Night and Stole Consiaer-
able Hardware.

Sometime during Sunday night the
hardware store of the W. F. White
company was broken into and number
Of knives and revolver taken from the
cases.
The entrance was effected by break
ing glass in one Of the rear windows
that open on the alley. Suspicion was
directed toward young boy, who has a
rather bad reputation and he was yes
terday taken into custody by Msrshal
Mann and taken to thestore, where he
was searched.
Upon his person was found eight or
ten knives and a big revolver. He stout
ly protested that he had not taken any
knives until they we're found upon him
and then with the bravado Of trained
thief he said that he did not know that
they we're in his posket
The knives and the revolver were all
recognized by Mr. White and clerk as
their property. To further fasten the
burglary upon the little fellow they took
of his shoe and taking it to the rear of
the store they fitted the track in the
snow with the little fellows shoe and
they were exactly of size
The boy was Ruben Starr, son Of Al
derman Starr. The little fellow is only
nine years Of age and very small, al
though stout and hardy. He seems to
have started at very early age to be
bad, as this is not the first scrape that
he has been in, although it is by far the
most serious one.
/ The father Of the boy was taken to
the store yesterday by Officer Mann and
he confronted the boy and was thorough
1y convinced Of the boys guilt. He en-
deavored to implicats two other boys
with him in the burglary, but when
Marshal Man hunted the matter up he
found that one Of the boys, whom young
Starr has said was implicated with him
had been in bed since last Friday
The father OF the boy was completely
broken up at the action Of his son. 1t
is well known that the boys parents
have done everything to restrain the
evil propensities which seem to be in
the make up OF the child, but all their
efforts have been in vain, aud if he is
orgiven, he simply returns to evil doing.
1t was generally conceded yesterday
that the boy would have to be sent to
the reform school, As he has become q
past master in promises to do better and
with impunity breaks his word each
time he is forgiven. is conceded that
period at the reform school, under the
severe discipline Of that institution will
break up his desire to do evil.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

From Observer Stewart
For the past four days an area Of un-
usually high barometer attended by re-
markably low temperatures has covered
the mountain and plateau regions; the
crest of this cold wave overlies Wyo-
ming where the Thermometer has regis
tered 30 degrees below zero, and lower,
during the past three days.
This mornings map shows but little
change in the distribution of pressure
but the advance Of a low pressure area
from the North Pacific will give the
thermometer an upward tendency in
this section.
Colder weathe, again prevails in the
Missouri valley and lake regions the
thermometer recording % degrees be-
low zero at Bismarck N. d. below at
Omana and below at Chicago. At
Denver this morning the temperature
this morning was 16 below, which is 6
warmer than yesterday.
Snow 10 falling over Washington and
Oregon, caused by the North Pacific
low area before mentioned, rise OF tom
peratufe has also occurred in these
states. AT Ga. m. the temperature at
Salt Lake was 6 above and at Grand
Junction below sero, the lowest thor
mometer reading here during last night
was 10 below zero. 't-a
Yesterday morning about7 m. the
temperature ut this plase was 12 below
zero the coldest this season. But fog

.. BEARS. SLY. AS FOXES.
They Throw Jumps of Ice at walruses to
stun and Capture Them,

Stun and Capture Them.
In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dafnties. The consequence is that
Brnin has to devise many curious ways
ofsecuring hissfood, andanone arejmore
strange and Interesting than that re-
lated by two trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights. #sa M
They have known the polar bear to
take a stone OF. a huge lump Of Ice in
his fore paws and from a favorable
. height, as al cliff or precipitoas ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
mead of Walrus-an enormous brute,
often twice the size of the bear-and so
stun him that Bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing a months rations.
The most useful food Of the ice bear,
as the Germans. very. appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal Of the north, and both Es-
kimo and polar bear need their best
strategy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is of the ice Of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen. as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice. to the
water below and into which they can
throw. themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks
up as near -he=deems-safe3 and then.
begins crawling on his wary prey.
The seals Ifs the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
J bg shorter moments when it is scan
ming the vicinity for signs of the enc
my's approach. During these. times
the bear Is very. quiet and as still as
death ITSELF with eyes apparently
closed. though really a corner Of each
is kept open, and in this way he hopes
the seal will take him for a heap Of
snow, an appearance which his coat
readily helps him 70 assume.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidly, according
to his =neafness to the seal and eonse-
quent fear Of being seen or heard.
When but ten Or twelve yards away
and the seal is in the depths of a good
nap, the bear -rusbes upon him, and
with single blow of his powerful paw
knocks the smaller brute senseiess and
so far away from the hole that he can
not escape by that way even If the
blow received is not Immediately fatal
IN winter time the ice is covered
with snow. and this is followed out
by the seal into a snow house, cover
ing the hole in the ice and connecting
at the TOP Of the dome with an aperture
about the size Of Shilling, called the
blow hole, for it is through this that
the seal breathes when he is in want
of fresh. air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour, If necessary, and when the
snorts of the seal are heard he brushes
in the fragile dome Of the snow house
with his paw, impaing The seal on his
curved claws. and proceeds to practi-
calIy demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in an arctic winter.

BELTS FOR THE THROAT.
Novel stock Collar which Is Now BE-
coming. Quite a Fad.

"a = Aus
The latest foundation for the popular
stock collar is fitted with a finely tenn
pered steel spring. which clasps the
neck closely and holds the stock in
place without any trouble. 1t does not
bind the neck, as it is very light and
yields to each movement, and, although
1t looks firm and snug, It does not
choke
This light spring, tapping little at
the back somewhat like a key ring or.
bracelet, can be bought and covered at
home, and can be recovered many
times, as steel never wears out.
A metal stock which does not require
to be covered, but is intended as an
article Of jewelry, is quite a fad now.
These stocks or collars are very much
like a dog collar or belt. They are
made in a great variety of form and
pattern-blain jewelled, silver and
gold. Some are. arranged in medalh-
ons. with a circle of chains between
and intended to be worn over some
bright ribbon or chiffon stock, While
others are OF solid metal and fastened
with buttons and eylets, with slides,
hooks and eyes, regular belt buckles,
or ieWelfy clasps of tie old fashioned

waist belts and can be had in any pat

Belt buckles, from being very tiny,

PaEt of the waist, extending around
nearly under the arms in some cases,
and are for or five inches broad The
same effect is carried out in the back.

back is inserted a horseshoe made Of
castor wood, and in the other end is the

TEACHING THE KING OF SIAM.
Mr.. Olorowsky, the Russian Minister
shows His Highness Few Points.

s"o"s "hs 70" oihts.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Not long ago the Russian consul gen.
eral in New York was Mr.. Olorowsky.
y few months ago Mr.. Olorowsky was
kicked upstairs" into the position CT
minister to the court of Siam.
While in this country he learned the
gentle art of playing poker, and, like
all Russians who have fallen victims
to that fascinating game, could hold his
own against the best American play
ers.
Mr.. Olorowsky went to Bankok. He
carried with him numerous full decks
of American cards and handsome set
of poker chips. After presenting his
credentials and having made up his
mind to what extent his country might
benefit in 1.-The land of the free" through
the rivalry of England and france,
Mr.. Olorowsky proceeded to ingratiate
himself with King Chulalongkorn I.
Mr.. Olorowsky explained to the king
of Siam the hidden mysteries of a jack
pot, the dangers that lie in the filing of
an inside straight. The king played,
and, like most beginners, won at first
But to make a long story short, the
latest reports from Bankok announce
that Mr.. Olorowsky, with a full house,
caught his majesty holding a flush. 1t
cost the king of Siam $1,000.
Probably by this time the king is
putting pagodas into the pot, or it may
be that the Russian minister has taught
the queen, who is new woman" the
intricacies of the game.
