CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DR.. SCHENcK's s.
MEDICINEs.-To cure CONSUMPTION the
system must be prepared so that the lungs
will heal. TO accomplish this, the liver and
stomach must 6rst be cleansed and an appe-
tite created for good wholesome food, which.
by these medicines will be digested properly,
and good healthy blood made thus building
up the constitution. SCHENCK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mucuous accumulations and, by
using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection,
the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup Is nutricous as
well as medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the
system, and good, wholesome blood made.
VIII ich will repel all diseases. If patients
will take these medicines according to direc-
tions, Consumption very frequently in its
last stage yields readily to their action.
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver
and stomach. II does not follow that be-
cause the bowels are not costive they are
not required, for sometimes in diarrhna they
are necessary. The stomach must be kept
healthy, and an appetite created to allow
the Pulmonic syrup to act on the respiratory
organs, properly and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform a per
manent cure is, TO prevent taking cold.
Exercise about the rooms as much as possi

COMMUNICATION.

Mr.. EDITOR-As friend l wish you
to insert what am about to write, as il
may be the means of relieving some poor
suffering creature of painful and distress
ing afiiiction, such as the subject of these
lines was afflicted with. While in the
army l became acquainted with a young
gentleman whose kindness and aid during
spell of sickness, served as a great pro-
moter of attachment for him who thus
kindly cared for me, though himself
wounded at the same time. Years rolled
on, the war ended, and we both returned
home to follow the bent OF our inclinations
And just here permit me to say that WAS
glad to learn that he had concluded to
study medicine with our good friend i r. r.
S. Bum. Before concluding his studies,
his mother, as kind-hearted a farmers
wife as one would meet in days travel,
became the subject of rheumatic pains,
which in spite of all the medical skill ap-
piled, grew worse and worse, until finally
her limbs became much drawn up and
distorted and in an almost hopeles condi-
ton she was confined to her bed, enduring
such intense suffering and excrutiating pain
as only those who have been afflicted in
like manner can form any idea of. FL
nally, the medical course of the son was
completed, he received his diploma and
located in Carrolltown as q practising
physician. And now comes that which ]
wish TO relate. The son undertook to
cure his mother, and after short time
the effect of the treatment he adopted
could be seen operating in her favor; and
as pen these lines the suffering mother
is able to 60 about the house and rejoice
that she has been delivered from her ex-
eruciating suffering by che skill of her son,
DR.. James j. Oatman. / have written
these lines withou: the knowledge of Mr..
Oatman, and have done so for tho benefit
of afflicted humanity.

1t has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt, by the most accurate statistics,
that no people upon the face of the earth
are 5urdaned to Ike same extent by taxa
fien as are the people of the United States
At the present time, Notwithstanding the
fact that our country enjoys the blessings
of peace throughout it's entire borders.
The taxes levied and collected by the
general government alone, during the year
1866, reached the enormous SUM of five
hundred and sixty million dollars. Add
to this amount the State, county, aad
other taxes to which we are subject, and
1t is fair to estimate tLat not less than one
thousand million dollars are annually taken
from the pockets Of the taxpayers to
maintain the miserable boon of bad gov
ernment with which the nation is unfor-
tunHtely cursed in our day3a generation.

DESPERATE CONFLICT WITH A MURDER
ER.-Soms time last spring an old lady

been on his track. The other day he Was
found In a school house at Cedar Springs,
Michigan. The officer entered, and call
ed on him to surrender, which he seem
ingly did. He laid his pistol down in or
der to ircn him, when the man seized it,
and pointed it at the officer. The latter
thereupon drew another revolver. Tha
two remained moment aiming at each
other. when Graves turned and ran for
the woods. The officer fired several
times, but did not hurt him He was

he could command, and until he was COM

Republicans who are scolding at
ftheavy taxes should remember that the
way to tighten them is to restore the
Southern States to their proper condition,
so that their industry may help Us at the
North. There is every prospect of hard
winter for Northern mechanics but it
might have been a profitable one, if the
Radicals had not destroyed our Southern
market. But taxes will be just as heavy
as if the times were good.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle asserts that
there is lady named Mrs. Hughes now
lying at the Homeopathic Hospital, on
Second street. helpless, and almost hope>
less, who claims to trace her misfortunes
to the terrible work of the modern Borgia,
Martha Grinder, who exSiated her crimes
on the scafIold, two years ago. She is
utterly prostrated at present with ner-
vous complaint, which she says is the ef-
fects of poison administered to her by
Mrs. Grinder.
Mrs. Wealthy Whipple, TeIict of
Marmaduke Whipple, who was q Revo-

also relative to VIM: Whipple, one of
the signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. This venerable lady is resident
of Union Village, Washington county, Pa. +,
where she has resided the fpast eighty
years. Her age is 1O4. She enjoys ex-
cellent health, and is quite active. She
draws from the Government the yearly
pension of 500. She ought to have $3.50
at least. Maybe her Christian name

RELIQUES.

We have on our table before US batch
of ancient papers which has been handed
US by friend. They show how things
were done ''forty years ago." and possess
interest to the politician and the Meratem-.
First in order is the "Unired States
Telegraph" with its motto 'Power is al
ways stealing from the many to the few, -
by Duff Green, dated Washington yity,
Dec. 20. 1927. 1t was a daily paper,
full ofpolitical matter and "nothing else, y
bristling up for the campaign of 1928, and
ventilating very freely the alleged "bargain
and sale" between John Quincy Adams
and Henry Clay. Another number of the
same paper contains an article of more
than page, abusive of Daniel Webster.
Then we have the "Washington Ga
zeite," of Feb. 27, 1924, Federal organ,
and bitterly hostile to the claims of Gen.
jackson to the Presidency. 1t argues
strongly against the danger of entrusting
the civil administration of our government
to a military chieftain."
Next is John Binns' democratic Press, /"
published in Philadelphia, bearing date
January 4th, 1928. 1t is anti-J ackson
and very spicy in its editorials, evincing
tie biting sarcasm characteristic of its
editor.
Aud lastly, :he "Bedford Gazette of
the same date, aad about half the size
il has since attained under our friend N.Y.
ers. 1t was published by Charles Nc
Dowell. Its contents are moro Il. -erest-
ing locally than any of the others. i
gives our Legislative proceedings-John
Mathews representing Cambria county.
1t contains the Carriers New Years
Address-abcut as bad poetry as we have
ever seen. The sheet before US is entirely
guiltless of editorial.
So much for the Slight of other days."

EXTRAORDINARY BANK ROBBERY. For
some time past Messrs. Pettis & Ingalls,, of
fremont, farewell ccunty, have been do
ing banking business, and have become
the repositories of the surrounding business
men and farmers. They had established
themselves in snug banking house with
hre>proof vault, and deemed that they
were safs from the element or burglars.
Within the vauit was large safe, and
within that steel burslar-proof case
weighing four or five hundred pounds,
which it was deemed impossible for any
one to break into.
On Friday morning last, an early riser
was passing by the bank and noticed the
door standing ajar, an indubitable evidence
that burglary had been committed. The
prOprietorS of the establishment were no
tilted, and on their arrival at the scene of
action, an examination was made, and
it was found that the outside door of the
building had been broken open, the door
of the vault was cut through, the safe
blown to pieces and the steel case carried
away entirely. So far as known, all of
this work had been done without alarming
any one. 1t is probable that the burglars
arranged their powder in the safe and
closed the door of the vault before they
ignited it, thus sitting the noise made by
the explosion.
Tho safe contained from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in bonds, notes and cash. The bonds be-
longed principally to people in moderate
circumstances, and were In the nature of
special deposits, 30 Messrs. Pettis & Ingalls,
will not be responsible for them. The
amount of money in the safe belonging to
the owners was not large, as they had
fortunately made remittances before the
burglary was committed, and the greater
portion of the loss was in bonds, of varisus
kinds.
The services of the Peoria detectives
have been engaged, despatch sent to
Chicago to get assistance from there to
ferret out the matter, and word passed
along the telegraph lines Up to yester,
day afternoon no clue had been obtained
to the perpetrators of the deed, though
some arrests had been made on suspi-
cion. The general impression is that the
work was done by some one who was not
an entire stranger to the premises. - REQ

a dAsrY MARRIAGE.-Improb as
II may seem to some, the statement we
are about to make is absolutely true. The
incident occurred in Juniata county. only
few weeks ago. A rather good-lookinc
stranger come into the ueighborhood, ped

of Mr. --(Smith we shall call him. for

lady. She tried several, and finally one
suited her exactly, but she had ssno

her to buy. She reiterated the fact that
she had no money, but jokingly remarked
''Ill trade one of my daughters for a pair

the girls spoke up-ss You needn't trade
me, mother, for won't have him"
Thereupon the peddler turned to the
younger and said, swell, will you have

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE-Durino the
easily part of the present week a young
married couple, more blessed with honesty
and industry than with worldly wealth,
left Chicago to seek employment and for
tune In the far West. On arriving in this
city their small capital was stolen from
them BY some graceless scamp, and they
were compelled to obtain employment at

dining-room servant at the Pacific House,
and the husband as porter at one of our
Wholesale establishments. On Wednes-
day last an elderly gentleman arrived here
from Montana, and took quarters at the
Pacific. At dinner he was waited on bv
the young wife, and recognized in her a
daughter from whom he had been sepa>
rated for many years, without knowledge
even OF her existence. The greeting be-
tween parent and child was very affect
ing, and caused considerable excitement
IN the dining hall. The best part of the
story is that the father, who had started
for Montana in straitened circumstances.
returned with most formidable fortune
He started East last night with his daugh-

they should fully share in his good for
