Lot of Drugs and Drug Sundries
Are Recovered.

Unearthed by Chief Gray and Captain

aFrom Wednesdays Daily.]
After some exceedingly clever work
on the part of Chief of Police Gray
and Captain Gallagher of the Ottum-
wa police force lot of drugs and drug
sundries were recovered from a
plant on Smoky Row last evening,
which had been stolen from Wabash
freight car standing in the local yards
Sunday, November II. The goods
which were very valuable will amount
to perhaps $25, and are about half of
the amount stolen. The remainder
of the goods were stuff that could be
sold readily, and it is probable that
they will not be recovered, as it is be-
lieved by the officials that the thieves
have "peddled" them about town.
The robbery was not known until
Sunday, Nov. "a, when Special Agent
N. P. Kemp of the Wabash called. on
Chief Gray and gave list of the stol-
en- stuff. The local officers at once
began an investigation with the above
result. The thieves had broken the
seal on the car from which they OBJ.
tanned the goods, and the part of the
booty recovered was taken to little
coal shed on an alley, be-
low Main and between College
and Jefferson streets, where a well
known thief is believed to have a
"plant" and buried under a pile of
straw. AS soon as the robbery was
reported to Chief Gray, he at once sus-
pected a certain party and after max
ing an investigation, together with
Captain Gallagher they went to the
spot where the plant" was supposed
to be. 1t was nearly dark when they
reached the spot last night, and after
exhausting their supply of matches
they. discovered three drawing pens
several bottles of patent medicine
some valuable syringes, several pack.
3 ages or rubber bands, and other drug
q sunGfies. This stuff was taken to
Chief Gray's Office, and this morning a
|. second search of the spot was made
resulted in discovering some
Rsempty boxes, which had contained a

they belong to, but it is believed they

Take A Paper.

A gentleman once said to a re-
porter: 81 never took a paper
that did not pay more than l paid
for it. One time an old friend of
mine started a paper away down
south and sent it to me. | sub
scribed just to encourage him
and after awhile it published a
notice that an administrator had
an order to sell a lot and | told
my friend to run it up to $50.
He bid me off for S37 and l sold it
in month for 800, so | made
1868 clear by taking that paper.
My father told me that when he
was a young man he saw notice
in a paper that a school teacher
was wanted away off in a far
country and he went there and
got situation and a little girl
was sent to him. After awhile
she grew up sweet and pretty
and he married her. Now if he
had not taken that paper what do
you suppose would have become
of me? l would have been some
other fellow or perhaps 1 would
not have been at all" This
shows the value of newspaper.

When to Marry.

Why should lovers defer their
marriage a day longer than the
time when, as far as we mortals
can discern the future, the pros
poets of a comfortable home is
reasonably assuredY 1t is sense
less to wait for the coming Of af-
fluent days, says Cyrus G. Adam
in Ainslee's. Their lives should
be united, and each in his WY
should help to bring about the
advent of eaiser times if they are
to come. It is as foolish TO wait
fol a larger income than is really
required as it is for parents to
slave and druoge that their chill
dren may enjoy degree of affiu-
ence they have never known.
There is the rock upon which
the French nation has split. They
are frugal aud thrifty people.
1t is interesting to know that
many of the tasteful, artistic and
costly products of France are
made almost exclusively for the
foreign trade. Two-thirds of the
best chinaware of Limoges, for
example, comes to the United
States. A well-to-do French
woman is likely to use a prepara-
tiOu of rice flour as a cosmetic,
leaving the delicate perfumes and
other toilet articles of Paris for
her American and British sisters
who are willing to spend more
money for such things.
But The rich father, unfortu
nately, conceived it to be his duty
to leave his children richer than
himself; if, on the other hand, he
be a poor tiller of the soil, it is
disgraccful not to educate his son
to trade or a profession so that
the family name may have high
er place in the social scale. This
deplorable ambition fixes upon
the family a burden almost too
great to be borne, and many of
the young people, seeing the hard
lives their parents lead, defer
their own marriage in order to
better their fortunes, till at last
even the desire to marry is ex-
tinguished.
Nearly all our self-made men,
leaders in the professions and in
business, married yonng and on
very moderate incomes. Many
assumed, without the slightest
tripidation, the responsibility of
supporting a wife on 81, 900 year
or less.
The views of young persons as
to the amount of income upon
which they may prudently marry
vary, of course, according to the
circumstances in which they have
lived. Many an intelligent girl
who works in New York kitch-
ems has no doubt whatever that
she and the steady, industrious
fellow she intends to marry will
have a comfortable home on S12
to S14 week. A penniless Ger
man school teacher who came to
Philadelphia when a young man,
and who in his old age lives in
New York on the rentals of apart
ment houses bought with $500, 900
he earned slowly in manufacture
, ing, asserted the other day that
81. 200 to 81, 800 a year in New
York would give to young mar.
ried couples of refinement com
Portable home, books, music and
amusements and everything they
might need for the rational en-
) joyment of life.
There is scarcely any doubt
that any man and wife, gifted
with his ability to disburse dol
lars to the very best advantage,
would be able to realize his idea
of comfortable married life on a
small income.
