A Burglary, But No Plumber.
MYRoN W. MAXIM DISCOVERS INrRuD'
Err, WHO MAKES HAsTY EXIT.

EARLY Saturday morning . burglar
entered the sporting goods store and re
pair shop of Myron W. Maxim, and Mr
Maxim, who sleeps 10 the shop, has evel
since been trying to make ont whether
he is q fool for not potting the fellow
or lucky man to have whole skin.
The store, which is in Maxim Block
fronts on Market Square, and in the
rear Is large work room devoted to the
repair and machine work. Double doors
which are about half glass, large enough
to take in an automobile, open on the
area at the rear. Mr.. Maxim sleeps 10
high bunk at the front end of the big
room, and his dog and cat also have
quarters there.
About two O'Clock Saturday morning
Mr.. Maxim was awakened by sound OF
something which he at first supposed
was his cat scratching at the rear door.
The dog, which was at the foot OF the
bunk, showed that something was up by
short, gruff barks. Mr.. Maxim got up,
went down to the floor and back to the
middle of the room, reaching to turn on
portable electric light. The lamp was
not hanging on its usual nail on post,
and he went on to the rear door, and
found it open.
He turned and went back, and as he
got near the front of the room heard a
little rustic in corner back of an auto
which stood at the side of the room.
At the same time the dog broke out into
vigorous barking. Mr.. Maxim realized
that there was something in the room,
and supposed that it was skunk. He
started up into his bunk, to get his re-
volver and turn on a light, and there
was a grand and rapid rush from the
corner where he had heard the rustic,
toward the back door. The intruder
had got away, and then for the first
time Mr.. Maxim realized, what had not
occurred to him before, that there had
been man in the room.
On the platform outside the door was
a shovel, with rs. P" cut on the handle,
a rather dirty burlap sack with carry
ing cord, and a new railroad spike. In
the door was a Jimmy" made from
what is said to be key which is used in
the brake on a railroad car. With this
the burglar had pried the sash from one
Of the doors far enough to get his hand
through to the fastening of the door on
the inside.
That was all of it, and there is no clue
except the things left by the burglar.
Part of these were evidently picked up
about the railroad. The shovel belong
ed to Sewall Parker, and he had been at
work with it for o. K. Barrows, on the
lot where he is building on Pine Street.
He left it in the wheelbarrow there Fri
day night, and the maurauder evidently
it. II the burglar had
known Mr.. Maxim was in the shop he
would undoubtedly have hesitated about
going in, and IL Mr.. Maxim had suspected
hat he had burglar to deal with, his
motions would have been different.
II may occur to some that the shovel
doesn't explain itself, but it was prob
ably the burglars intention to bury his
plumber somewhere until a more con-
senient season. Considerable value IN
small sporting goods and cutlery might
have been carried off in the sack which
he fellow had, IL he had succeeded in
iOlnp his work

Memorial Sunday Services.

The Baptist church was filled Sunday
morning, with q number seated 10 chairs
in the rear of the auditorium, when the
Memorial Sunday sermon was given be-
fore VIM. K. Kimball Post, G.. A. R., by
the pastor, Rev. E. A. Davis. There was
special music. appropriate to the day, by
the choir. About twenty members of
the post marched from the hall to the
church in body, and they were joined
at the church by few others who were
too infirm to join in the march.
Mr.. Davis took as his text Micah 4:3-
the verse concluding "Neither shall they
learn war any MORE" and his topic was
g War and Peace" There never was a
day, said he, when the nations of the
world were looking for and desiring q
condition of universal peace as they are
to-day. Yet the establishment of an in
ternational court of arbitration, desirable
as that is, will not remove the possibility
of war. No court of arbitration could
have settled tho questions confronting
this country at the outbreak of the civil
war. The arbitration of those questions
had to be left with God. Nor will there
ever be q court of arbitration which will
compel any nation to violate its integrity
or its honesty. Full amity and perma-
nent peace among the nations of the
earth will come only when they are in
spired and actuated by the spirit of
Jesus Christ.
