Wells Co— Took Out Glass and Put It Back. Another burglary by way of a sky- light was reported to the police on Sat- urday morning when the store of the F. A. Wells company was opened for business. It was found that the store had been entered by a skylight in the rear and a sum of money said to be about $100 had been taken from the safe. The safe was left unlocked, but the money was in a compartment with the key where it could be found. Like other burglaries of a similar character recently, the burglars de- clined to take anything which if found might lead to their identification, leav- ing behind a valuable gold ring which was in the safe. It is reported that this is the second burglary at the store within & short time, but that the bur- glars secured less than this at their Previous visit. 'The thieves showed another mark of their cleverness this .ime by taking the glass out of the skylight and putting it back again so that even had a police- man passed the skylight while the men inside were at work, there would have been' nothing outside to arouse any suspicion. A rope was probably used to let the intruder down from the sky- light and then taken away by the con- federate outside. The man who opened the safe came out by a side door at the rear of the store. The burglary at the Wells store brought out the information that when a burglary was attempted a short time ago at the store of B. Gotthelf & Co., also by the skylight route, the intrud- ers got as far as sawing off the hinges of the safe, but did not get into the safe, A'rumor that the hinges of a safe were cut was current at that time, but the police denied having any know- ledge that such a thing had been done. Since the burglary at the United Cigar store, the effective way in which plain clothes men were located about the streets at night evidently check- mated the burglars for a while, but they apparently have figured out how to avoid these watchers, as evidenced by the entrance made at Schwartz Brothers' storc on Thursday night and the Wells store Friday night. FUNERALS. Miss Jennie May Kimball. At 230 o'clock Saturday afternoon the funeral of Miss Jennie May Kim- ball was held from the home of her parents, No. 15 Elizabeth street, the house being filled with relatives and friends, including several from out of town. The services were conducted by Rev. F. W. Coleman, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church, and two hymns, Abide With Me and Lead, Kindly a|Light, were sung by Mrs. George T. Lord. The esteem in which the deceased was held was manifested by the many handsome floral forms, which included large and elegant emblems from the Porteous & Mitchell company, em- ployes of the Porteous & Mitcheil com- pany and the Royal Neighbors. The bearers were James Gordon, Louis H. Geer, Fred C. Geer, Frank _Stager, Charles Harvey and Charles Roath, & cousin, of New London.

She was a mem- ber of Trinity M. E. church, the Halle club and the Royal Neighbors, in all of Wwhich she took an active interest and rendered consclentious service.

Geer, of this city. Mrs. John G. Piatt. The funeral of Mrs. Julia C. G. Piatt, widow of John G, Piatt, and daughter of the late Levi H.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN FLOATING IN BOAT. Craft With eless Body Aboard Drifted Onto Fishers Island. The lifeless body of an unknown man was foud in a sailboat, which drifted ashore at Pebble beach, Fish- er’s Island, Saturday afternoon. The sail was up on the boat and the man looked like a fisheramn. The discovery was made by F. N. Van Name, caretaker of the Linder- mann estate at Fisher's Island.

Burned Over Lend at Mohegan, Wau- wecus Hill and Near Thames Ter- race.

For four hours Saturday afternoon a large fire raged in brushland on the property of William A. Cooke at Mohegan. All afternoon a large force of volurteer fire fighters were kept busy beating out the flames. The efficient work of the volunteers kept the flames away from Mr. Cooké's buildings and his timberland also escaped. Mr. Cooke intends to plough up the land burn- od over this spring. Little damage re- sulted from the fire. A fire of large sized proportions burned over a large tract of wood- land near Wauwecus Hill on Sunday.

They are the result of Dr. Jdwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not tv take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place. Most_headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipat! and a disordered liver. Take Dr. I Olive Tablets when you feel and “heavy.” Note how the: clouded brain and how t “perk up” the spirits. At 10c and 25¢ per box. All druggists. The Olive Tablet Company, Colum- bus, O. B I.
