can rest Castoria is vegetable substitute for
nauseous Castor Oil, and the deleterious narcotic
Syrups sometimes used. Containing neither mine
raj, morphine or alcohol, it has received the en-
dorsement of physicians, and its sale is constantly
and rapidly increasing. 1t seems to be natures
remedy for assim 'iating she food in the
stomach, causing proper digestion, and preventing
soar I'd, vomiting, wind-colic and diarrbea.
This gives natural sleep Castoria is not narcotic.
Il is as pleasant 10 take honey 1t relieves the

very efficacious for Group. Every mother should
have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria.

The statement of Bank Examiner Titcomb
appears to satisfy all reasonable people of the
absurdity of the theory that Mr.. Barron made
away with himself The Boston Adoertiser
says:
The report of Mr.. Titcomb, the Maine bank
examiner, upon the accounts of Mr.. Barron.
is full aud conclusive against the theory that
the dead cashier was defaul,er. He shows
the origin of the famous $4,000 increase Of
liabilities and assets, and that the whole
transaction having been completed exactly as
was intended by Mr.. Barron, events have
proved the books to be correct. Gu the only
other important point he shows that the Off
GERS of the bank have charged against Mr..
Barron an item that was in his favor, making
the trf1ing error of something more than a
thousand dollars an ia correction! Now we
trust this matter may be allowed to rest. The
public are well satisfied, we have no doubt,
OF Mr.. Barron's innocence, and of the slad-
derous character of the charges against him.
And possibly time will show who was his
murderer.
The Post says:
The report of the Bank Examiner on the
affairs OF the Dexter Savings Bank is the cap
sheaf OF ridicule against the Trustees of that
institution and their experts. Cashier Barron
had an original way Of keeping books, per-
haps, and they were n not sharp enough to dis
cover the mystery of it. The Bank Examin-
er, on the other hand, was enabled TO
show them where their deficiencies
were and the assets that CORES ponded
to them. Even had the accounts been
altogether inexplicable to the extent
of the deficit charged, we should sup
pose genuinely large-souled men would have
hesitated long time before promulgating a
statement that tended to ruin the character
OF man whose character was priceless to
him. The case stands investigation splen-
ddly, and thus far the memory of Barron is
brighter for each attack.
The Herald says:
The suicide theory 10 the Barron case
may now be regarded as finally disposed of,
since the bank examiner expresses clear
and positive opinion that there was no defa.
cation, and there is no evidence to the con
trary which he is not familiar with and doe:
not regard. as satisfactorily explained. The
trustees of the bank are now standing in a
most unfavorable light. They are on the de.
fensiVe, and mast eat humble pie.
