TRANsvAAL Loss IN LIFE.

Moralsts are discussing the terrible
loss Of life brought about by the Trans
vad war. Yet here life is sacrificed for
a purpose-for an honest principle. 1t
were better to preach against the need
less sacrifice OF life. Thousands OF
people succumb to ailments which
might easily have been checked in the
beginning. Dyspepsia carries on more
people than are killed in war. The
use OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
would save many lives. Constipation
may seem little thing. but it invari-
ably develops into something worse,
and the longer it is allowed to run. the
harder It is 10 cure. The Bitters cures
Indigestion constipation, dyspepsia and
biliousness, naturally and permanently,

Police Officer John Howard discovered a
negro in the act of burglarizing the store
of j. Schoenmann. 909 Preston avenue,
yesterday morning about 3 o'clock, and
after chase for the culprit fred a chance
shot at him, though without any other
effect than penetrating an iron shutter
aud going into a brick wall. No money
was found by the negro, but he managed
to get together several trimmed hats from
the millinery department. which, however,
were left behind when he made his sue
oessful dash for liberty through the back
way.
As in the case of the attempted burg
larizlng at Schoenmann's, the rear door
OF Mendellsohn s. Blooms store. Sli Travis
street. was forced open, aud from this
place a coat and vest was stolen. proba-
bly, by the same party who entered Schoen-

block.
At an early hour Monday morning a
burglar entered the home OF Mrs. Lorena

haul. He effected entrance through a
window In the rear of the cottage, and
after stealing all the provisions he could
lay hands on In the kitchen and pantry,
entered the sleeping apartment of a gem

his clothing stole quite sum OF money.
Officer Quinn was notified and went TO
work on the case. though there appears
no clew by which to apprehend the guilty
party.
Petty thieving has also been going on
at other residences. but in these cases
only small palms and ferns have been
stolen from porches. as well as shrubbety
in the yards, These thefts have been
traced to negro, who has managed to
