REWARDS FOR THIEVES.
They Steal Horses, Wagons and
Provisions by Wholesale.

Market men and grocers on the West Side
between Thirty-fourth and Fifty-ninth SITS. are
aroused over the stealing within few months
Of five delivery wagons with their horses ana
loads while the drivers were delivering goods
Each week in the same period more than dozen
other wagons have been robbed of various arti-
cles as they were driven through the streets.
The provision dealers are convinced that they
are the victims Of an organized gang of thieves
They have given up hope Of assistance from the
police and are Offering rewards ranging as high
as $500 for the return Of their property. The
drivers in some cases have armed themselves.
The police will not admit that the thieves exist,
and pass the responsibility from precinct TO pre-
cnct So far they seem to have taken no steps
10 afford further protection, nor have they re-
covered any of the stolen property.
The last horse and wagon to drop out Of sight
was one belonging 20 Rennald V. GRADER. a
butcher. of Nc $50 Eighth-ave. driven by Mel
son Carriare. of Nc. 937 Eighth-ave. He went
with a basket of meat into No. 36 West Fifty
ninth-st When he returned. possibly five min
utes later his outfit had vanished.
when my driver reported the theft Of the
wagon" said Mr.. GRADER yesterday, Il went at
once to the Twenty-second Precinct station in
West Forty-seventh-st. and asked for assist
anCe in recovering It,
How many men did you have on the
wagon? the sergeant demanded.
Il told him one.
well he growled. you ought to be arrested
yourself, for the law requires two men each
wagon
Il find that there IS no such law. but that is
all the satisfaction I get 1 have offered a
ward of $500 for the arrest and conviction Of
the thief"
A Buchsbaum who has a store at Forty
ninth-st. and Ninth-ave., believes he the
first victim Of the gang. Late in the year his
horse. wagon and load dropped out OF sight.
The horse and wagon We're recovered in New
Jersey several weeks later.
In December John s Suslmann. whose store
IS at No. . Columbus-ave. was robbed of de-
livery outfit worth 5000. 1t was driven away
while the driver in apartment house
at Eignty-ninth-st. and Columbus-ave.
on March 10 John Jaegler & Sons, Grocers, OF
No. S64 SiXth-ave., were robbed OF an outfit
worth 500. II was taken from the delivery
entrance 10 the Belgravia, apartment house
at Forty-ninth-sJ. and Fifth-ave.
1T is not easy matter to dispose Of the
stuff" said J. Nichaes. OF the Conley Company,
one Of the sufferers. There must exist a butcher
fence who receives the plumber, or perhaps a
restaurant may. Complaints to the neighborinS
station houses are Of no avail and do not
seem to be able 10 interest the Detective Bureau
at Headquarters"
Captain Hayes of the Twenty-seCOnd Precinct,
said the difficulty was that the merchants would
not report the thefts in the precincts IN which
they occurred.

n I!IIEE STOMACH
.1.,s

One of the greatest American millionaires
once said to his physician, "a million dol
lars, Doctor, for new stomach" and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One of mans greatest pleasures is that
born of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs to
many good fellow who is living on small
wages, but the rich man without stomach
has to forego the good things of the table
because his stomach rebels. Without
healthy stomach and good digestion, our
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action is weak, our liver does not do its
duty and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey to the germs
of influenza, consumption, malaria and all
the ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible
DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan Of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, years ago TN
derstood this disease, and after long pc
rod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were natures remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up IN
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t gives no
false stimulation because It contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. It helps digeS-
ton aud the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has pacify1ng
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. It maintains the patients
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimiiate nutritious food. II
overcomes gastric irritability. and symp-
toms of indigestion, and IN this way fever,
night sweats, headaches. etc, are done
away with. It foTtifes the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
Iaria, and 1t builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that Is vjust as good as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be-
cause he hopes to make better profit,
but his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor had the success
that Dr.. Piercess medicines have had
