THREE masked men broke into the
National Bank of Knoxville, ILL.,, early
on yesterday morning, says dispatch of
the Sth, and seized Mr.. Runkle, the pres.
ident, who lives in the building, bound
him hand and foot, bandaged his eyes
and demanded the combination of the
safe. Mr.. Runkle said he didn't know
it, whereupon the burglars burned his
feet, knocked him on the head, and hung
him by the neck, but not fatally, and
finally gave up the undertaking and con
tented themselves with $4,000 in private
safe, tle key Of which they found in Mr.
Runkle's clothes. Mr. Runkle told one
of the burglars that he recognized him
by his voice. The burglar in reply ad-
mitted that he was Knox county man
and proposed to shoot Mr.. Runkle as
measure of safety, bat another member
of the gang interfered.

A SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, dispatch

Stone Agp Discoveries.

The Antiquary says that great sensa-
ton has been excited among savants in
Russia by the discovery On the shores of
Lake Ladoga of sundrv remains of men
and animals belonging to the stone age.
The bones came to light last summer
during the excavation of new canal
in connection with the Neva-Volga wa
terway system. On removing a layer of
peat eighteen feet deep, and composed
of vegetable soil covering q primeval
forest, the navvies came across some
skulls and bones. Fortunately the en-
gineer in charge of the works happen
ed to pass by at the time, and being a
man of some slight scientific attain
ments, he saw the value of the discov-
cry, and wrote to his friend, Prof. limo
stransteff, Of the st. Petersburg univer-
sity, to come and inspect it. On the
arrival of the savant he announced with
Joy that the remains belonged to the Pc
riod of prehistoric man. Eight of the
skulls were collected by him in excel
lent condition, one being provided with
a lower Jaw and a complete act of pow
erful teeth, another having in good

New Railroad Scheme.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company are perhaps looking for a
competitive route of more magnitude
than rivalry alone Of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific on tariff from Rock
Island, over their Racine and south
western division by way of the Chicago
& Pacific road. The chances are. ifit is
true that they have bought the Chicago
& Pacific. which is no doubt the case,
that they will extend it direct to Ian
ark on their Racine and Southern di-
vision, thence to Marion over their
Cedar Rapids branch, and then con-
struct the loudly called for extension
from Marion to Marshalltown, and
thence to Des Moines for a connection
with the Chicago, Rock Island &Pacifc,
or a direct route of their own to Omaha,
where it would form a grand, close con-
Meeting link between the lines east of,
and terminating in Chicago, and the
Union Pacific, while they would make
q splendid connection with all the Mis-
souri, river railroads. 1t is likely that
they will also build branch up to
Freeport, but the business that might
come from the vicinity of the Mineral
Point railroad, would not be a great in
ducement at present, although it would
form an almost direct line from Miner
al Point, or Dubuque, to Chicago.

CABLEGRAMS.

RETURNS by counties from Ireland re
celved up to the 5th inst state that 312
370 persons are slowing starving, and
that the outlook for the coming months
is gloomisr than can be described
! The American demand for iron, says
a London dispa.ch Of the 5th inst, is
causing an unprecedented activity in
Great Britain. Four vessels loaded with
over 5000 tons of pig-iron and rails
sailed from Leith for New York to-day,
and thirteen vessels are at present
chartered to load iron for American
ports.
:. QUEEN VICTORIA opened the British
parliament in person on the 5th instant
| The day was fine and the royal process
sion attracted great crowds of people,
who paid fabulous prices for good places
! from which to view the pageant. Lord
Cairns read the speech.
THE members of the English cabinet
and heads of the Irish departments met
at the residence of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in London, on the 9th inst,
to devise means for meeting the distress
in Ireland.
a ST. PETERSBURG dispatch of the 5th
inst. says: The GOJOs publishes an article
on the recent letter of Count Won
Moltke in reply to a correspondent who
requested him to use his influence with
the emperor for a reduction of the army,
in which the count suggests that the
nation must be educated in the belief
that even victorious war is national
misfortune, and by implication justifies
the proposed increase of the German
army. The article says Russia cannot
remain inactive In the face of the arma-
ments of the rest of Europe, but will also
increase her army.
RUSSIAN papers, says a Berlin CORES
pOndent, writing under date of the Sth
inst, review the political events of the
past year and paints the present state of
Russia in very dark colors. An immense
empire, says the G0l0s, with $4,000, 900 in
habitants, with large army, and with
numerous important institutions, is
obliged TO turn its attention to an enemy
who acts in the dark and cannot be
reached, though all thought and solici-
tude are called into play to crush him.
No reforms, however necessary, can be
discussed, and the great progress which
was being made in cultivation and civil
zation has been stopped. At the same
time it is much to be regretted, continues
the Russian paper, that the reserve exer-
cised by Rnssia in all her Internal ques-
tions provokes the belief abroad that the
country is suffering from a secret and in
ternal illness. 1t is certainly not with
out reason that the German press lays
great stress on the sad state of affairs in
Russia.

preservation, the osseous part of the
nose. The value of the discovery may
be estimated from the fact that up to
the present moment, according to Prof.
Tagankof, only forty human skulls of
the stone age have been found in all
Europe, and only one solitary one in
Russia. During the stay of the profess
or at the canal cutting, several further
portions of skulls were found, and a
number of scattered teeth and some
human bones, besides sixty bone imple-
ments, including such interesting arti-
cles as knives and needles. Of the re-
mains of wild animals the professor un-
earthed bones of the prehistoric elk, the
Bos primigenius, the white bear and
the wolf. o. domestic animals only the
bones of a small dog were discovered.
All these remains, together with frag-
ments of a prehistoric oak, and numer-
Gus specimens of fish, arrived at ST.
Petersburg a few days ago, and will
shortly be examined by congress of
Russian savants.

FaseEGe.

A new product made from petroleum
IS jelly called "Vaseli2e," which is of
the greatest utility IL medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered Its great
value in the treatment of wounds, burns,
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where liniment is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now IN constant use, and is acknowledg-
ed not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is nut
up in bottles by the Chesebrough Man.
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as q
family remedy, it is without doubt the
best in use. It's healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior to those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
Is almost magical. AS an emollient,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as 1t renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
irestore to the complexion the hues Of
youth, making the cheek like velvet
aad the skin like satin. The complexion
powders IN common use, are, as a rule,
/ furious to the skin and destructive of
aoy complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tlely healthful and beneficial. There
is also made a "Pomade Vaseline,
WHICH is said to he of great benefit to
the hair, keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
venting and curing dandruff, and keep
ing the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable
creatures which sometimes find dwell
ing there. Numberless instances are
cited of how by the use of this pomade
thin and failing hair has resumed Wig
orous growth. Both the pure Vaaeline
and the pomade are put up in twenty
five cent bottles and are to be found at
all tirst-class druggists, and we advise
our readers to make trial of this won
derful substance, and we think they will
lind Its claims to merit not in the least
exaggerated

A Pleasant Remedy for TOothache,

"Our Cook" says T. c. Osborn, M.
d., Greensboro, Ala, presented her
self to me with a swollen cheek, asking
for something to relieve the toothache,
from which she had been suffering all
night, and for which she refused to
have the tooth extracted. AS there was
nothing of the usual kind at hand,
was on the point of telling her to call
later at my office, or go to a dentist,
when it occurred to my mind that there
was in the house vial of compound
tincture of benzoin, which [ had been
using upon 8 young mother as a protec-
ton against sore nipples.
"After cleansing the decayed tooth
saturated pledget of cotton lint with
the tincture and packed it we'll into the
cavity, hoping this would suffice for the
time, and bidding her to come back in
two or three hours if she was not re-
lieved. | was turning away when she
remarked that it might not be neces-
sary perhaps, as the pain was already
gone. Supposipg her faith had large
share in the relief, [ would not allow
myself to think that the medicine had
anything to do with the cure any more
than SO much hot wafer would have
done.
but when ! arrived at my office
there were two other patients awaiting
me with the same atfiiction, and / de-
termined, by way of experiment, to use
the same remedy. To my agreeable
surprise both patients declared them
selves Immediately relieved, and begged
vial Of the tincture for further use.
During the Winter a number Of
similar cases applied, and were instant
ly relieved by the same treatment, all
expressing much satisfaction with the
remedy.
In December told my druggist of
the discovery, and recommended him
to sell it tv any ptIcUn applying for
'toothache drops This, he reports, he
has done, and that every one seems de-
lighted with the medicine. Baltimore
