There can be no necessity, at this late day,
for the press to speak in commendatory terms
Of this remarkable medicine, in order to pro-
mote its sale; for it is a medicine that il
known and appreciated the wide world through.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism,
cholera, cholera morbus, burns, sprains, bruises,
and 30 on to the end Of the catalogue, we are
convinced that there is no remedy before the
people. equal to DAVIS VEGETABLE PAIN
KILLER" and we know that thousands upon
thousands entertain the same belief. Certainly,
we cannot refer to the history of any medicine
which equals that of the PAIN-KILLER. It was
introduced in 1910, and from that time to this
its sale, both at homo and abroad, has con-
stantly and rapidly increased, and we rejoice
at the high reputation it has achieved, because
this reputation shows that it has been the
means Of relieving q vast amount of human
suffering.

The Iron Mountain Railroad Robbery.

Further particulars of the train rob.
berry at Gad's Hill, Missouri, are to the
effect that the robbers real purpose in
robbing the train was to rob Mr..
Staunchfield, Secretary of the Clear
water Lumber Company, whom they
expected to be on the train with s., 900;
but he was not aboard. After the rob-
bers had seized Conductor Afford and
the other train men, and placed
them under guard, one of the gang
passed along the line of the train,
fourishing pistols, and commanded the
passengers to keep quiet, or they would
kill the conductor and engineer. Part
of the band then robbed express and
mail cars, taking only the money. They
afterward plundered the passengers.
There were only twelve male passen-
gers, five ladies, and several children
on the train. The total amount of
money obtained, including 81, $50 from
the express car, was 2,344. They took
only gold watches from the passengers,
and returned those of General Superjn-
tendent Morley, who was on the train,
and Conductor Afford, because they
had their names engraved on them.
The robbers also took $500 from cit
izen of Gad's Hill. The thieves'are I'M

their identity has been found. They
were traced to Black River, six miles
west of Gad's Hill, but the trail was
lost here. The Sheriff of Wayne Coun-
ty is endeavoring to organize posse of
men at Piedmont to scour the country
for the robbers. 1t is understood that
the Post Office Department and Adams
Express Company will take active and
vigorous measures to capture them.

How he was Caught,

A burglar in Greensburg, Pa, was
recently caught in remarkable man
ner. Breaking into closed and unoc-
cupied Office of physician of that
town, the burglar opened a closet (while
his companion with dark lantern was
in another part of the ROOM and feeling
for clothing at about the height Of
closet hooks generally, got his hands
between the jaws of skeleton, which
being adjusted with coil spring and
kept open with thread, closed sudden
ly on the intruding hand by the break
ing of the thread. A sudden thought
striking the burglar of his being caug ht
by skeleton in the doctors closet so
terried him that he uttered a faint
shrek, and when his companion turned
the lantern toward him and he beheld
himself in the grim and CHASTITY jaws of
Death himself he became so overpow-
cred by fear that he tainted, fell insen-
sible to the floor, pulling the skeleton
down upon him, and making so much
noise that his companion fed immedi-
ately, and the doctor, alarmed at the
noise and confusion, fastened into the
Office and secured the terror.stricken
burglar, still held by the skeleton.

Moving as One.

The harmony in the movements of
tho Siamese Twins, DIR. Warren thinks,
is habit formed by necessity. His ac-
count of their habits is extremely Gu
rious. He says: "They always face
in one direction, standing nearly side
by side, and are not able, without in.
convenience, to face in the opposite di.
rection, so that one is always at the
right and the other at the left. AL
though not placed exactly in parallel
line, they are able to run and leap with
surprising activity. On some occasions
a gentleman, in sport, pursued them
round the ship, when they came sud.
donly to the hatchway, which had been
inadvertently left open. The least
check would have thrown them down
the hatchway, and probably killed one
or both, but they leaped over it without
difficulty. They differ in intellectual
vigor. The perceptions of one are more
acute than those Of the other, and there
is a corresponding coincidence in moral
qualities. He who appears most intel.
ligent is somewhat irritable in temper.
while the others disposition is mild"

Poisoned by Eating Pork.

Seven persons are lying at the point
of death in Aurora, Ind, from having
eaten fresh pork with trichinae in it.
Mrs. Henry Trainer had two hogs
killed for family use. A few days after
eating some of the meat Mrs. Trainer
and one of her children were attacked
with what appeared to be typhoid fe.
yer. Mrs. Beuter, the wife of German
clergyman, visited her, and with two of
her children partook of the meat. and
in q few days we're attacked with the
same symptoms, which attracted the
attention Of physicians. An examina.
ton showed the pork to be literally
alive with trichinm. Mrs. Trainer and
three children and Mrs. Beuter and two
children are not expected to live.

quads OF o dozen or so and arguetd
with the proprietors. All but one capit-
ulated at once. The exception was Pat
Slater, who said that his business was
his own business and nobody's else,
and he would stick to it in spite Of all
the women in Washington. He swore
at the youngest and prettiest OF his OPP
ponents, and was utterly impervious to
soft words and coaxing. While they
held prayer meetings in his barroom he
sold drinks to the few men whose crav-
ings were strong enough to make them
bold. The conflict went on for week.

cupying the saloon, singing and pray
ing from early every morning until late
every night. One bitter cold day Pat
sprinkled the floor with water and
opened the doors and windows. The
women built bonfire in the street, and
by going out occasionally to warm them
selves, stood it like little men. They
all got sore throats, however, and for
the use of the next days detail booth
was fitted up across the sidewalk with a
stove in it. Finally Pat incautiously
sold liquor to a minor in violation Of
Ohio law. and was prosecuted so vigor-
ously that he capitulated. There is not
now drinking place open in the vii
lage. The property owners have signed
a pledge not to rent premises for liquor
selling, the druggists to sell none except
on physicians prescription, and the
physicians not to prescribe it except in
cases where it is absolutely necessary.
A similar movement is now going for
ward in Greenfield. Ohio.
