ANOTHER BREAK.
J. J. Makers Store Entered Saturday
Night-Goods and Cash Taken.

The upper end of Water street was
the secene of another burglary Saturday
night, when the clothing store Of j. j.
Maher was entered by a thief or
thieves and goods and cash stolen TO
the value Of about $50, and perhaps
more, but that is the amount which
has thus far been accounted for. The
break was discovered by George Pepin
Il salesman at the store. who came
down to the store at about 80 Sun
day afternoon.
The thieves entered the store by
placing / ladder against the rear wall
Of the building, breaking out a light
of glass in the outer window which
enabled them to push the window up,
and then cutting out a light OF glass
in the double window which was on the
inside, and then crawling in through
the space which was 10x10
inches. They also had 10 force
the shutters which were closed and
fastened. from the hinges.
They then went to an old cash draw
or which is at present used for kind
of catch-all. ana found screw driver,
and with this pried open the locked
box in the cash register, where they
secured about Slo. From there they
went to the show case and helped
themselves to a lot of cuff buttons
made-up ties and four-in-hand ties,
also few penknives. On top of the
show case We're two automatic cases
for selling collar buttons. and by pry-
ing off the bottom of one of these they
secured about 81 il nickels. The other
case was made differently, ana
although they turned that one bottom
up. which allowed the buttons to run
into the top, they were unable to get
into it.
After that They sprung the lock to
the private Office by using the screw
driver. and although as far as is known
they secured nothing but a liberal sup
ply of Mr.. Maher's cigars, they evident
Is tried II open the safe as when Mr..
Mahcr came to unlock it he had to
work over it soma time before he was
able to make the combination act as
it should.
Although il was apparent that mon
ey was the main thing that they were
after the thieves improved the oppor-
tunity of making Il selection of cloth
ing and took a suit valued at SIS.
Just how much they took could not be
told yesterday, and it is probable that
stock would have to be taken in order
to ascertain the amount, but from what
they are known to have taken the val
ue will figure up as above stated.
In leaving the store they unfastened
the door leading to the basement and
unbarrinS the big doors there went out
that way, leaving the doors open. The
matter has been placed in the hands
of the police. and although 10 definite
clue has been obtained which would
tend To throw much light on the sub
jet it is understood that they have
some information which is at least
worth following up.

AMUSEM ENTS.
"Anita, the Singing Girl"

4 crowded house greeted the Lorne
Eawyn Co. last evening in the Opera
house when they opened a weeks en-
eagenent by presenting Anita, the
Singing Girl" If last evening is to be
taken as an example of the style of
their plays and the ability of the variou;
players in the cast, the remainder Of the
week will be most successful.
1t is the third year of the company on
the road and it is the policy of the COM
pany Ito become better every year. ev-
cry month. every week and every day."
The company is supporting Miss Gladys
Grey in the leading role and she viii
become a favorite with the theatre goers
of this city as they were well pleased
with the manner in which she handled
herself last evening.
The company carries n fine line of spec
ialty acts, among them being F. Richard
Davis, the man who mystfics. Many
were disappointed last evening in rot
seeing Mr. Davis in his act, but he will
surely be the center of all eyes this even
ing at 1906, when he will make his first
temperance since the time he broke out
of the local police station over four years
ago.
Along with Mr.. Davis are Holmes and
Holmes, the monarchs of music, who en-
terrain for fully half an hour, producing
music from everything they lay their
hands on. Also Sam Barlow in "A Lit
tic of Everything;" Wicks and Lamps
the boys with the educated feet; Clara
CuEitt, the dainty soubrettc, ard Duke
Thompson in illustrated songs. The man
asernent promises an entire change Of
program in the vaudeville line every
evening.
This evening the audience will see Mr.
Elwyn in the role of Sherlock Holmes in
"The Crimson Stain" All of the shows
this week will be conspicuous for their
lack of the ood2nd-thunder variety
but instead VIII be made fascinating by
the ability of the company which pre-
sciits them.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale Of remedies for
catGrrh has decreased very much in
the last year. Some medicines which
were formerly bought a gross at a time
are now purchased in half dozen lots,
and arc rarely called for.
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in sale, and that is
Hyomei This remedy is. in fact. re-
sponsiblc for the decrease in sale of
catarrh medicines. as it has made 50
many cures Of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
ent medicines for catarrh during many
years were induced to begin the use
OF Hyomei by Bowditch, Webster q
Co.. of Augusta and Geo. w. Dorr OF

remedy would cost nothing unless
cured. Much to their surprise, they
found that HyOmci did what ii claimed
Off it did not BOWditch. Webster & Co.,

this guarantce) and they soon become
ardent advocates of the use of Hyomci.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei: it is used by be-
ing breathed through a neat pocket
inhaler. The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, extra bottles. if needed,
fifty cents.
With every Hyomei outfit Bowditch.

Automobile Show.

The superb decorative features for
the second annual exhibition of the
Maine Automobile and Power Boat As
ISOLATION have been selected and are
being made up especially for this
show. F. NJ. Prescott who is in
charge of the weeks exhibition, to be
held in the Auditorium, Portland, the
week of Feb. %, has decidedly artis-
tic temperament and he is insiStent ON
this important feature of the show. He
realizes full we'll that the exhibition
Will be of rare quality so far as con-
Germs automobiles, motor boats and all
the accessories for these machines.
What he has planned and is now en-
Gorsscd in perfecting is that the set
tngs shall be worthy of the most criti-
cal inspection.
Accordingly he has caused to be de-
signed an immense floor covering in va
rious green tints, 4 handsome carpet of
superior texture, one that will blanket
the entire floor in one immense art
square The walls are to have a SINH
lJr treatment, being hung with warm
culOred tapestries and the ceiling Will
be a canopy Of brilliantly Illuminated
cloths and flowers. The Auditorium in
terror is bare and undecoratcd in its
ordinary garb. Mr.. Prescott will
transform this into a veritable bower Of
beauty. 1t will help the dealers in MAX
ing sales. 1t will please the visitors
who delight in viewing costly cars with
elaborate settings. None of the big
shows give much heed to decorations.
This element of the show is a hobby
for Mr. Prescott and he will demon
strate an unqualified contrast for those
who come over to Names largest and
most h0spitablc city the week of Feb.
