THIEF RAIDS A HOME
TURNED A TRICK AT THE HOME
OF HENRY KLUGHERTZ.
Stole Fourteen Dollars in Cash and
Left Untouched Gold Watch and
Other Jewelry Belonging to Lady
of House; Was After Only Money;
Spends Some Time in Place; But
Left No Clew.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The residence of Henry Klughertz
over p. H. McGraw's plumbing shop,
on South Second street, near the opera
house, was burglarized yesterday after
noon. The family were gone for
time, and it was then that the thief
visited the place There is but one
vestibule at the head of the outside
stairway. The thief unlocked this door,
as it has lock that any ordinary key
will turn. After going out he also
locked it,
Robbed of Twelve Dollars.
The burglary was discovered about
four o'clock, when Mr.. Klughertz and
his son returned from their work. They
found things scattered around, and
upon investigation the son found that
he had been robbed of about $l2. He
had a purse in his trousers pocket,
containing two $40 bills, and one of
these was taken and the other left.
The two bills were folded together, and
take both bills. About 81 in change
was taken from another pocket.
Thief Wanted Only Money.
Mrs. Klughertz's room had been Wis
tied and her things were scattered
about, but her watch and other jewel
ry were left untouched, showing that
the thief wanted only money.
The police and sheriff were notified
at once, and visited the dwelling, but
were unable to find any clue to the
thief. The neighbors had not seen
anyone about the premises during the
afternoon.
1t is probable that all of the recent
burglaries on both sides of the river
have been committed by one person,
and he is keeping the police guessing.
Property owners should be on the
alert to see that his career of crime
is cut shore.

JOHN c. BUSBY SEES THINGS
Iowa Man Gives His Views on What
Is Doing on Planet Mars.

Waterloo, Iowa, June John c.
Busby of Independence, who has
achieved considerable fame as. weather
prophet, has announced that he has
been observing the planet Mars closely
and has come to the conclusion that
what appear to be canals are not canals
at all, but giant system of railroads.
These. he says, are built from pole to
pole, and recross at right angles.
Dots that Mr.. Busby has observed
are said to be cities. and the haze that
hovers over them, in his estimation,
is a cloud of smoke poured from the
black thrOated chimneys of numerous
factories. An even more startling an
nouncement is that the reddish appear
ance of Mars is caused by the reddish
tinge of the soil and the foliage
Mr.. Busby predicts that in the next
generation men will be making trips
to Mars in airships.

is serious danger in attending the ses-
sions Of the school. Not long ago Prof,
Cooper was taken sick with the fever
and removed to Heaton hospital, after
which a student Of the seminary was
also stricken with the disease and taken
from the dormitory to the hospital.
Thus the two cases coming so close to.
gether seemed to Indicate that the
sanitary conditions az the school were
not what might be desired, but as only
one case has broken out in the past
three weeks, IL Is thought that the cause
OF the three cases was something which
can be remedied. Therefore the local
members OF the executive committee
held a meeting az which the possibility
Of a general outbreak Of the disease
was discussed with DR.. Lindsay, the city
health officer. and the result OF the
consultation is the following announce
ment:
At a meeting Of the local members

II was decided after consultation with
DR.. VIM Lindsay, the city health officer,
that there was no cause for alarm at
present because OF the cases OF typhoid

OF battleships left Hampton Roads on
December TO- 1907, how they circled
South America 10 San Francisco, then
TO New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China

instance. at some foreign ports, pieces
Of American money were In great demand
as souvenirs, 6ve-cent pieces being sold
for as high as IS.
The Chinese government officials pre-
sented each officer OF the fleet with a
cloisonne vase and at Japan gold medals
