BURGLARS RAID.

Bellefontaine was the scene Of
Wholesale burglaries Saturday night
and Sunday.
The deeds OF Saturday night were
committed during the heavy rain
storm and this time was taken by the
ttief or thieves in order that their
tracks could be thoroughly covered
up.
The G. ID. Fisher blacksmith shop
must have been the first place entered,
for here the tools were carried of with
which to make the various entrances.
At this shop, which is located in
Hogsn's alley, the lock was twisted OH
the door. A stove poker, horseshoe
punch, chisel and several small bars
OF iron were taken. 1t is not known
whittier the marauders proceeded after
entering the blacksmith shop to begin
their dastardly work. but following
are the various business houses that
were entered:
A back window at the Kelly Racket
store in the tin shop department was
broken open, a stone and a board be-
ing tn. tools used in prying open the
window casing. Here money to the
amount OF 50 80 and two revolvers
valued at about 50 were the only arti-
cles taken.
About s. was the amount taken
from the Frazer drug store, and en-
trance was gained here in a manner
similar to that at the Racket store. A
glass 14x25 was broken out OF back
window. Nothing else was disturbed.
The back door was means OF en-
trance gained to the Mat Kramer sa-
loon. a glass 12x15 being cut out.
Seven dollars were taken from the
cash register, and all the drawers in
the large sideboard were found stand
ing open, but nothing else taken.
At the McMillen grocery is the only
place that footprints were found.
Here the burglars entered by back
window. having broken an upper pane
OF glass 30x36 in order to turn the
latch so as to raise the sash. The
sum OF s. .6O,was taken from the cash
register, and large footprints were
found on the sacks OF flour which were
piled up under the window where en-
trance was gained.
1t must have been during church
time Sunday that entrance was gained
at the Snapp grocery, although moth
ing was taken from this business
house. Mr.. Snapp, the proprietor, was
visiting at the home Of his father in
the country, and was telephoned
by Lon Odor and Officer Policy that
his store had been broken open. Up
on his arrival here he found that the
back door had been open, but the per-
son closing it had not placed the bars
as they should be placed. The party
or parties on leaving evidently had
key as they left by the front door.
Not thing was taken at this place.
An attempt was made to effect en-
trance at the d. E. Rea drug store and
grocery by breaking a glass in the
back window. The heavy wooden
shutters prevented them from getting
inside.
Two quarts OF Helmet rye whisky
was stolen at Ed Cranston's saloon.
Entrance was gained by breaking a
panel out OF q door. 1t is not known
whether this happened Saturday or
Sunday night.
Home talent is supposed to be gull
ty and as no safes were tampered with
it is thought green hands did the
work. There is no clue.

/, the feasts of tia luxurious Romans
must be accented with some hesita-
tion. and lie &. coo said TO have been
the daily amount expended by yltel-
Illus upon his supper seems almost fab
ulous.
But then he, too. was devoured by q
desire to attain the impossible and
/ employed a far reaching organization
in order to realize it. According to
Josephus, his food was of the most
rare and exquisite nature, 1.-The deserts
OF Libya, the shores of Spain, the wa
ters Of the Carpathian sea, and even
the coasts and forests of Britain were
diligently searched for dainties to sup
ply his table" But even this is
echpsed by the story Of single dish
provided for banquet given by He
liogabalus which is said to have cost
no less a sum than $4,000 of English
money.
The waste and utter futility of such
| lavish expenditure may be said, in
some sense, to have been counterbal-
anced by the idea of splendor and lux
urious opulence which 1t was thought
| to express. But we find records of
dishes of quite inordinate cost much
nearer our own times for which no
such plea can be urged.
In his "City Madam" Massinger
scourges the extravagant method of
preparing many dishes then in fashion
and ridiculcs -their pies Of carps'
tongues and their pheasants drenched
with ambergris." And he is especially
severe perhaps such an incident had
actually occurred-upon ''the carcasses
of three fat wethers bruised for gravy
to make sauce for single turkey"
This, of course. is a simple barbarism
for which there can be no possible pal
liation And. though 1t may be regard
ed as an exceptional instance of prince
~ magnificence, one instinctively
shrinks at the statement that at the
banquet given by Louis XIV. at Yer
sailles on the occasion of the marriage
of Mile. de Blois and the Prince de
Cont in 1868 the ortolans alone cost
10000 francs.

verified by the Cour DIES Complies as
amounting to 6,000 francs
