neighborhood of Third street and Pasewalk nvenno were wrought up to a high state of excite ment yesterday nfternoon by tho daring attempt of two hobos to commit a day light burglary at tho homo of F II Gruonwald and it is said that some of thorn wero so badly frightened that they were unable to sleep last night Tho family was away from homo at tho time Mrs Gruonwald being absent on a visit Mr Gruonwald attending to his business up town and their daugh ter Mrs Stahl was calling on n neigh bor Mrs Ladhoff a near neighbor saw the tramps enter tho house through a window and informed her husband of tho fact Ho at onco went to tho pop factory of Rudolph lllatt where n num ber of men were employed nnd told what had happened They hurried over and endeavored to enter tho houso through tho doors but finding theso locked employed tho same method of ingress used by tho tramps and crawled through the window They at once began a search for tho intmders and one of tho burglars hear ing their approach jumped through tho bay window carrying sash glass and all with him Ho immedially got out of sight making hiB way to the river The noise made by tho breaking glass was heard by MrB Stahl who with Mrs Kratcher soon appeared on tho scone and a search for the remaining iu trader was commenced Ho was soon located behind a bureau which had been pulled out from tho wall When discovered ho also dis played a great desire to retain his liberty and showed fight When ho saw ho was caught ho drew a razor and re volver and said to his pursuers Get out of tho way or I will cut and shoot Ho thou made a break for liberty and succeeded in getting away As ho was passing H H Scott caught him by tho coat but as ho hadno des ro to arguo the matter he left that garment in tho possession of tho latter and it will probably remain to remind those taking part of tho occasion Getting nway from tho houso he fol lowed the track of his pal toward the river at a rapid gait By this time quite a crowd of citizens and several officers had gathered and pursuit of tho Weary Willies was at once made They were located or sup losed to bo in the bend of tho stream and an effort was mado to surround and capture them but on closing in it was found that the game had disappeared they having undoubtedly swam the river It was a hot chase for the fellows and they may thank their lucky stars that they got away as they would undouted ly have received the full benefit of the law had they been captured The excitement of the occasion was sufficient in that neighborhood to cause extra vigilance to prevent its re-occurrence in the near future Although things were badly scattered at the Gruenwald home nothing was missed the tramps being interrupted too early iu the proceedings to make a thorough search for valuables TUESDAY TOPICS O E Shultz is on the siok list Geo G Bayha of Niobrara was in the city today Geo M Snyder was in town yester day from Hooper J H Kublman was iu the city yes terday from

BEEF FROM ECZEMA No Torture Equal to the Itching and Burning of This Fearful Disease Not much attention is often paid to the first symptoms of Eczema but it is not long before the little redness begins to itch and burn This is but the beginning and will lead to suffering and torture almost unen durable It is a common mistake to regard a roughness and redness of the skin as merely a local irritation it is but an indica tion of a humor in the blood of terrible Eczema which is more than skin deep and can not be reached by local appli cations of ointments Balvea etc applied to the surface The disease itself the real cause of the trouble is in the blood although all suffering is produced through the skin the only way to reach tho disease therefore is through the blood Mr Phil T JoneB of Misersville Ind writes I had Eczema thirty years and after a great deal of treatment my leg was bo raw and sore that it gave me constant pain It finally broke into a running sore and began to spread and grow worse For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease as I have been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines all in vain With little faith left I began to take 8 S S and it apparently made the Eczema worse but I knew that this was the way the remedy gut rid of the poison Continuing 8 8 8 the sore healed up entirely the skin became clear and smooth and I was cured perfectly Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic Swifts Specific S S S FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they on not reach It goes to the bottom to the cause of the disease and will cure the worst case of Eczema no matter what other treatment has failed It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash mercury or any other mineral and never fails to cure Eczema Scrofula Contagious Blood Poison Cancer Tetter
