invited the man to go with him to the
Schermerhorn house, which the man did
unwillngly.
At the house Mrs. SChermerhorn ex-
planned that the two women. Takla Lin
berg and Lena Weymer, were her maids.
They said they were on the second floor
above the parlor about > o'clock. when
they heard a noise below. Going To the
head of the main stairway, they saw a
man hurrying toward the front door,
which he opened and passed through to
the street
Lena said she knew al once that the
man had no business I'm the hall and
went down the stairs after him. closely
followed by Takla. She flung open the
door and made after the fugitive, who
was hurrying toward Fifth avenue. Lena
gathered up her skirts and ran as fast
as she could after him. Takla did like
wise.
When the story was told the man ad-
mitted that the maids overpowered him,
but he swore he had never been in the
Schermerhorn house in his life. He said
he was George Shields. chauffeur. of

When the detective began to search
Shields he was baffled at first TO find his
pockets empty. Then he discovered that
they were made so as TO conceal their
contents in the rear Of the coat.
Murray brought to light the following
articles: One silver cardcase, a silver
snuffbox, a silver watch and fob, sill

fled all the pieces as a part of some
Schermerhorn family heirlooms which
were kept in the back parlor. She fixed
the value at $500.
Murray went down to the basement
and made up his mind that Shields mad
watched his chance and entered the
basement door while a coal driver was
stocking up the bin in the rear of the
basement. Then, the detective gathered
he had forced the door at the head oI

tors Association Of Moberly. number
ing Is physicians, has formed union
and revised its schedule of prices up
ward, the same going into effect soon.
The agreements of the doctors is
under eight heads. and the prices
charged are enough 70 make all boy
cotJ the sick list According to the
revised schedule il is much cheaper
10 be sick in the daytime than at
night. and 1t is also cheaper to get
sick within the city limits than it is
a few feet over the line.
The physicians, as an evidence of
their sincerity and their intention to
abide by the rules and adhere strictly
to the scale of prices, agree to im-
pose a fine of not less than S25 upon
each one found guilty Of breaking the
agreement nor more than 500 for
each oifense.
The prices are so fixed that eacn
physician gets the same pay for each
class of visit and kind of attention.
Among their agreements is one for
bidding the use of a physicians name
by the newspapers except to state that
"a local physician was called in
Should the newspapers use the name
of "a physician called In a special case
that paper will be boycotted by the as

perchance get his hand caught in the
machinery.
This is styled medical courtesy
and the papers are warned not 10

ganization of the doctors and their
increase in scale. the undertakers
have become busy and refuse 10

money for their work.
Some of the prices charged by the
doctors are as follows Calls in the
city limits from a. m. to . p. m, "
calls from 9 p. m. 10 a. m, 50; calls
out of the city, 50 for the first mile
or fraction thereof. and 81 for each
additional mile or fraction. For night
calls 81 is added Office visit 81, ana
no free prescriptions. Consultation
with family physician, $40.
There is strong talk among the citi-
zens of importing "strike-breaking
doctors" and tearing the schedule to
pieces. An organization TO be known
as 1--WE Won't Get Sick at These
Prices" is TO be formed. and the num-
ber of charter members promises to
reach several hundred before the
charter is closed.
