SNEAK THIEVES GOT LITTLE.
Ransacked Granite Plant of E. C. Glysson
Last Night

Sneak thieves broke into the office
connected with Eugene c. Glysson's
stoneshed on Mill street last night and
completely ransaeked the desks and cup
boards in the building before they were
obliged to give up the search for booty.
They attempted next to effect a robbery
in the engine room. where an easy en-
trance was gained Nothing of value
was taken in either place so far as Mr..
Glysson has been able to ascertain, and
it is believed that the marauders de-
camped without even souvenir of their
plundering excursion. =
The thieves left scarcely any clue as
to their identity. Entrance to the office
building was accomplished by breaking
a pane of glass in one of the rear win
dows. This done. the window was
opened by springing catch near the
middle OF the sash The contents Of
the desk and all Of the drawers were
thoroughly ransacked and several top
coats belonging to the office employees
were also searched Fortunately the
money and other valuables were securely
locked in the safe and the miscreants
made no attempt to force this strongbox.
The engine room presented the same ap-
pearance Of disorder but an inventory of
its contents failed to reveal anything
missing.
Mr.. Glysson was the last to leave the
office last night at $50 o'clock. When
he returned at the same hour this morn
ing he noticed the broken window and
the papers and books strewn about the
floor. He Immediately notified police
headquarters and officer +. J. Mcleod
was sent TO investigate. Footprints lead
ing from the rear window mp the hill fur
nished the officer with his only clue.

NEEOFUL KNOWLEDGE
Viroqua People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of Bid
ney Disease

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave nc
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
fall of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the
victim is often weighed down Dy a
feeling of la1guor and fatigue. Neg
lect these warnings and there is dan
ger of dropsy. ANY one of these symp-
toms is warning enough to begin treat
ing the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no Better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Viroqua
proof:
Mrs. C. H. Groh, viroqua, Wis. says:
81 am pleased to endorse Doan's Kid
ney Pills and confirm all l said in their
praise in 1907. This remedy which was
procured at Johnson's Drug Store, was
used by member of my family and it
brought relief from kidney trouble and
backache."
