ARE STILL AT IT.
Burglars Gain Entrances at Two
Residences and Try Two
Others.
GET WATCH AND MONEY
Operate in Neghborhood of Twenty
Fifth Street During Early Hours
of the Morning.

| Burglars continued their lootinS cam
paign in the city yesterday morning
and succeeded in entering two resi-
denceS and getting away with gold
watch and chain in one and $S in mon
ey from the other. Some time between
the hours of 3 and O'Clock the resi-
dence of L. j. Siemsen. 250G Eighth
and-a-half avenue, was entered through
a bathroom window The window was
not locked when the family retired, the
screen, however, being securely fasten-
ed The burglars managed to loosen
il from the window by using q knife.
Mr.. Siemsen, who is a street car motor
man, arrived home about 2:30, having
been on duty up until that time, and the
fact that the robbers entered his bed
room shortly after he retired and stole
the watch from the dresser is evidence
of their ability and indicates that they
are veterans at the business. Moth
ing in the house aside from the watch
was disturbed Mrs. Siemsen was the
first to discover that the watch was
missing, and Immediately called her
husband An investigation showed
stains of blood on the sidewalks and
the window screens cut with a knife
Marks were also noticed on another
window which had been locked.
Pocket Books Looted.
The thieves about o'clock attempted
TO enter the residence of Louis Strem-
mel, 2512 Eighth-and-a-half avenue. by
removing the screens. The noise, how
ever. awakened Mrs. Stremmel. and
they were frightened away. The resi-
dence of Miss Lou J. Philip, 2514 Eighth |
avenue. was also entered, evidently by |
the same gang, entrance being gained |
through the pantry window. Miss Philip |
went downstairs at midnight to secure |
some medicine, and it was between |
hat time and o'clock that the money |
was taken. The pocket books. which
were left in the dining room, were loot
ed and about $S in money secured. An
attempt was also made to
enter the residence of Thomas J. Don [
lhue. 25O2 Eighth avenue.

Indiana Miss Plans Unique Covering
for Her Bedroom Walls.


for Her Bedroom Walls.
The extraordinary task of papering
her room with Cancelled postage stamps
has been started by Miss Sadie Cham
bers of Anderson. Ind, at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Margaret Chambers,
says an Anderson dispatch to the New
York Herald.
The room is 10 by "a feet and has a
nine foot ceiling. The stamps of all
nations are being pasted on the re-
verse or blank side of ordinary wall
paper. and to cover one roll of paper
twenty-four feet long and eighteen
inches wide 6,336 stamps of the Ameri-
can two cent denomination will be re-
Quired. For the entire room. if one de
sign is followed, 1S6.912 stamps will
be needed. while another way of cover
ing the walls and ceiling with stamps
will require 191.16O.
a short time ago Miss Chambers had
on hand $1,000 stamps. collected within
two months, and she thinks she will be
able to get 100000 more within three
months If she can average three to
five hours day on her undertaking
she will be able to complete it by
house cleaning time next spring
Her friends in Chicago, New York
and Pittsburg are assisting her in col
lecting the stamps Miss Chambers
was through Kentucky recently visit
ing relatives and continued her trip
south to Birmingham. Ala. and on her
way home she will stop in Louisville
At each large city she will further car
ry on her campaign for Cancelled
stamps.
Every morning at her home her first
half hour is devoted to going through |
her daily receipt of postage stamps |
that come in buIging envelopes and |
parcels.

A Reform in Spelling.

We have been hearing a good deal
lately in reference to a reform in spell.
ing, and some of our highest citizens
favor same. Men in educational cir
cles, however, state that it's popularity
will be short-lived. Whether you spell
the word cure" with &c" or 'k'' does
not affect it's meaning when used in con.
nection with the celebrated family med
icine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. For
53 years it has been the most popular
remedy for curing such ailments as
poor appetite, belching, bloating, heart
burn, insomnia, dyspepsia, indigestion.
costiveness, biliousness, chills, colds,
female ills, general debility or malaria.
Every home throughout this land should
adopt it as their family medicine be-
cause it is absolutely safe and reliable.
Don't experiment with unknown RENE
dies any longer when you can just as
easily get Hostetter's from any drug
gist.

Wounds. Bruises and Burns,

A HEADLESS BODY
Trunk of Man Without Head or
Arms is Grewsome Find
Made by J. r. Stitts
ON SHORE OF AN ISLAND
While Pulling Traps for Hunting Party
Below Andausia-No Identi-
fication.

The body of a man, headless and
armless, and in terrible state of de
composition. was the grewsome find
of j. F. Stitts yesterday while pull
ing traps for a party of hunters below
Andalusia. The body was found on
an island, about five miles below And
alusia, near the Illinois shore. 1t was
partially hidden by drift wood, and
seems TO have been washed near the
shore and lodged there early in the
spring. Part of the clothing was gone
and there was no means of Identified
tion. The man had a blue striped shirt
and heavy shoes such as are worn by
wOrkingmen.
May Have Been Murdered.
The condition of the body makes il
impossible TO learn how the man came
to his death though the fact that 1t
was dismembered is an indication that
the case is one of foul play Who the
man was will probably remain a mys-
terry also. The fact that the body is in
such an advanced state of decompOsi-
tion indicates that it had been in the
water for months. and ii is thought
that it was washed onto the island
shore in the early spring.
Notify the Coroner.
Coroner /. V. Eckhart was notified of
the case. and went to the island To hold
an inquest. the remains were temper
arily buried on the island where they
were found. to await the decision of
he coroner as to their final disposition. |
The fact that the drift wood hid the |
body accounts for the fact that it was
not discovered earlier by those who |
are continually passing the place in |
boats
