 OLIVE ST.J JOBS
After Looting One Side of House Tuesday He Re turned on Wednesday to Complete the
 Work.
Number of Key Workers Robberies in Broad Day. light Now IT.

The boldness and skill of the man who is entering residences in differ ent parts of the city is astounding. After footing the rooms of Edward T. Ecklund on the top floor of the Dig six family house at 77 Olive street, on Wednesday, and also those of Max to the same building yesterday and between 3 and o'clock in the after noon entered the rooms of Axel Mor1ne on the third floor of No. 79, rif1ing the valuable jewelry. The robbery at 77 was reported to the police and Detec- tive Fox was assigned to the job. While he was supposed to be looking for the thief, that masterly gentleman returned to the house and continued the work of relieving the congestion of wealth of the place at his own conven- fence. He did not leave his card for Fox.
 In this one building this expert key worker has so far added to the store of stolen goods which he has been ac- cumulating for months in the city by the use of what must be the finest set of skeleton keys ever used in this city The contributors to his stock in two days and in one building are Edward F. Ecklund, gold watch $25. three gold rings $20, and change taken from child's bank amounting to about $1; Max Stein. pocketbook containing sev- eral dollars in money: Axel Mor1ne, gold watch valued ata $25, and gold ring worth S10.
 Fortunately. yesterday a good look at the mysterious visitor was obtain ed by little Johnny Eklund. who sat on the front steps of the house when the stranger passed out. The boys description added to that of the women in the house who have caught gimpses of the man results in the conviction that the man is tall, about 40 years of age, dark mustache. trimmed short, black Derby hat. dark brown pants, short box coat
 As he passed out of the house the man stopped and petted the big St Barnard dog owned by Mrs. Ecklund. The dog is not over friendly but the boy says the stranger seemed to be well acquainted with him. This dog was on the front porich of the house when the apartments his mistress, Mrs Ecklund were rif1ed on Tuesday.
 The places entered yesterday bring the list of the daring daylight ky workers victims up to 16 or IT. all Of which have taken place within the last few weeks.
 Mrs. William Brown. who occupies the first floor of number 77 Olive str ct saw the local Rallies on Tuesday but could get only a fleeting glance at him as he passed out the front door of the place. Her description tallies with that of the Ecklund boy.

NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE

The Imperial Interior Department of Germany has been experimenting with process for drying potatoes to about one-fourth of their original weight for stock food. It is claimed tfat they are then fully as nutritious as corn.
 What is said to be the largest loco motive ever built in this country re- gently was completed at Philadelphia for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Of the articulated Ma1let type, without tender. it weighed 430,000 pounds and was 93 feet long over all.
 A new German fire eXtinguisher for use against burning oils consists of a cylinder with two chambers, one con taining solution of potash, alum and sodium sulphate the other a solution of sodium bicarbonate. sodium sul- phate and liquorice root extract. On emerging the two liquids mingle, form ing a foam which covers and cuts off the air from the burning fluid.

Choosing Christmas Present.

When you make a present of peri
odical to friend or family yor are
really selecting a companion to influence
them for good or i'll during a whole year.
If the acquaintance of your sons and
daughters were to talk to them aloud as
some periodicals talk to them silently,
how quickly you would forbid the com
panionship! In the one case as in the
other, the best course is to supplant the
injurious with something equally at
tractive and at the same time worth
while. :" A food can be wholesome and
utterly distasteful. Reading can be
made so, too. But The Youths Com
panion not only nourishes the mind, but
delights it, just like that ideal human
associate with whom you would choose.
The Youths Companion fills that place
now in more than half million homes.
Can you not think of another family in
which 1t is not now known where IL
would be ioyfully welcomed?

Carmack on Character.

The lecture of the late E. W. Carmack
called Character, or the Making of the
Man, +" has been published in book form
by the McQuiddy Printing Company, OF
Nashville
The book, both in Typography and
binding, is a superb product of these two
arts
We are informed that large royalty
is being paid to the widow of Mr.. Car
mack for the right to print the book, and
that the money will be used towards edu-
eating the late Senator's son.
There is an introduction to the lecture
by Bishop Hoss.
The address is splendid contribution
to literature. The tone is sympathetic,
frank and dignitied,
The lecture was first delivered before
an audience of young men.
Throughout Mr.. Carmack was the lay
preacher, basing his teachings upon his
experience in life. He tells the young
men of the things they ought to do, if
they would achieve success in material
and moral way, and he warns them Of
the things that will make success both in
a material and moral way impossible, if
they allow these things to influence their
lives.
The Commercial Appeal hopes that
the book will have large sale.

not to be too swift in forming harsh
judgments upon your fellowmen. As

Opinion on County Fairs.


Editors Commercial: We would like
to make some good natured comments
on the editorial that appeared in your
issue of Nov. 26, relative to our county
fair. In the editorial referred to, many
of your points are well taken. The
point we wish to comment on is relative
to the speed ring On this point you
say great many have complained that
the purses for the speed ring events are
too large and the premiums on other
things too small, and state that in your
opinion this is a false impression. Now
the writer is one of the many that views
the matter from the standpoint that it
is wrong to give so much money to the
speed ring, but itwe are wrong we would
like to get right, as we earnestly desire
to see the fair success, and as your
editorial does not convince us that we
are wrong, we write with the hope that
a discussion of this point will set the
wrong thinkers right and all pull to-
gether fer the upbuiding of our county
fair and make it what it should be, the
best county fair in the State, as our
natural resources are such that it should
be second to none.
We have what to our minds are good
reasons for our way of thinking about
the racing events of county fair, but
it is possible for us to be wrong, and we
always try to get right when we are
wrong. We submit herewith our views
along this line. so that if ave are wrong
some one can set us Alright,
We candidly do not believe it is nee
essary to have races for a purse at fairs
in order TO make the fair success.
Why?
First, Because but few if any, of our
farmers pillow race horses or make liy-
ing by running horse races
Second, Because racetrack is not
necessary to the proper showing or judg-
ing of ms horse stock that the masses
of our farmers are and should be inter-
ested in.
Third, Ever since the organization of
the fair there have been liberal purses
for the speed ring, and that the fair has
not been the success it should be is adj
mitted by all.
Fourth, Some of the most successful
county fairs of the South do not have
any racing at all, and eyoa the Inter
Live Stock Slt that little
event held annually at licago, has no
horse racing connected with it, and yet
it is conceded to be somewhat a success.
Now, we believe there should be a speed
ring on all good fair grounds so that
,hese breeding roadsters could have the
proper facilities for showing this class
If horses, and there should be liberal
'remiums for all kinds of worthy horse
took as we'll as all other kinds of live
took, but not single dollar for racing.
These are some of the reasons we are
pposed to horse and mule racing at
ur county fair. If we are wrong we
re willing to be shown why.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound Or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
