Building at Gettysburg

Gettysburg, Pa. Sept. 11.-Another
unsuccessful attempt was made last
night to enter the Funkhouser store
in Center Square, but like former at
tempts, the thief was scared away

tempts to gain an entrance within
the last three weeks. Twice he has
been seen and fired at, but succeeded
in eluding his pursuers. 1t is believed
the man belongs to the gang that has
been operating in nearby towns, and
l. is also likely that he is the person
that entered the Eagle Hotel and Eek
ert's store in broad daylight. At the
Eagle he was in the room of the pro-
prietor and took a gold watch and
chain belonging to Mr. Clement and
about $40 in gold which was in Mrs.
Clements purse. Another watch which
Mrs. Clement had found in the hotel
and had in her room until claimed By
the owner was also taken. At the
Eckert store the safe was opened,
which stands right at one of the win
dows, and took several bags of
money. supposed to have contained

WHAT Is YOUR CHANCE OF
REUNG KILLED IN THIS WAR

II you, a drafted man, belieVel
that statistics tell the truth. you will
feel as safe in France as you usually
do in the streets of New York. Sol
says Roger w. Babson, the eminentI
statistician. Furthermore he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ
of railroad. However, he does not|
hold out such high hopes for the|
lieutenants, sergeants and corporals,
the deathrate being very much
greater among officers than among|
privates. Also, the mortality isl
higher among volunteer corps than
among drafted men. Sixty men per-
thousand are now being killed in the
war, and about one hundred and
fifty men out of each thousand are
wounded.-Popular Science Monthly.
