Thieves Break In and Steal.

Last Saturday night sneak thieves
broke into the residence of G. w.
Nichols Oh Zion's Hill and took three
overcoats, a black dress coat and vest =,
also silver watch, chain, and locket
containing picture, together with Il
low crown felt hat, and q lot of mis-
cellaneous articles including money,
handkerchiefs, &c. Several suspicious
characters were prowling around OF r
streets OH Saturday, begging from
door to door. 1t is quite likely that
they were the parties who did the
sneaking work. Mr.. Nichols family
slept up stairs while the articles taken
were down stairs. The thieves were
in their stocking feet and entered at Il
back window Charlie Nichols, who
is "devir' in THE ADVOCATE office
owned one of the overcoats stolen.
And it is a mighty low thief that will
steal from printers devil, the curse
of all printers and all devils follow
the dastardIy sneak-thief.
The passenger depot was entered the
same night. An attempt was made
to enter the residence of c. H. Nc
Cauley, but was frustrated by reason
of Mr.. McCauley being up with a sick
child. An attempt was also made to
enter the residence of Mr.. A. H. Head,
and Rev.S. NJ. Clark. We are informed
that several houses in Wilcox have
also lately been visited by sneak
thieves.
Our citizens should be on the alert
and meet all attempts to enter their
houses by these sneaks with q double
charge of buckshot, or the equally
satisfactory welcome of rifle ball. A
few thieves, killed in the act would
help materially to lesson this species
OF dirty meanness. Another thing,
any tramp, or other suspicious charac
ter, coming to our doors, should
promptly receive the benefit of the
Pennsylvania tramp law. 1t is hard
matter to refuse a fellow mortal u
morsel as he begs at our door, but
when the canting hypocrite who begs
a crust is likely to be thief who will
repay our kindness by breaking into
our houses after night, and only begs
food as means of canvassing the
situation in order to steal, the milk of
human kindness turns to gall, and
maybe many a worthy person turned
away whom we might assist.

frontal and nasa' sinuses of the head

Iuently terminates in what is called
Chambers, the horse fingers along II
few weeks or months and dies.
THE REMEDY.
For many years past Il brother of
mine in CORY, f. BordwelI, has been
using a compound which has saveI
nearly every case that he has treated,
especially if taken in the first stages
of the disease, and he has treated
thousands of cases.
ITS ACTION.
In the first place it cuts the mem-
brane in the air passages.
Secondly it is loosening.
Thirdly it acts as an absorbent.
Fourlhly it gives an immediate ap-
petite.
In looking up the properties of this
compound | find it is good.

it in this place and have not lost any
cases.
| am the sole manufacturer and
dealer.
The medicine is put up in pound
bottles with directions.
Those in my acquaintance living
near and responsible can take trial
bottles and if it does not cure if given
in the first stages, need not pay for it.

Ridgway Borough.

At the recent term of court, Judge
Wetmore confirmed the action of the
Grand Jury at the September term in
granting the petition of citizens of
Ridgway for Borough corporation
The place for holding the first Borough
election is fixed at the old Prothono-
tary's office. II. Fl. Wensel was ap-
pointed by the Court to give the
necessary notice of such election.
The following election board to hold
such election was appointed by the
Court:
Judge of Election-Henry A. Par
sons, Jr.
Inspectors of Electlon-Hugh Nc
Geehin, and Allen w. Jones.
There will be long list of officers
TO elect as will be seen by the follow
ing. list, twenty-nine in number
which we believe is necessary to in
augurate our little municipality. The
election will be held at the regular
time for holding spring elections,
viz: the third Tuesday of February,
being the 18th day of the month:
Chief Burgess.
Six Councilmen.
Six School Directors: two for one
year; two for two years; two for three
years.
Two Justices of the Peace
One Road Commissioners,
Two Overseers of the poor.
Borough Treasurer.
Borough Clerk.
High Constable.
Borough Constable.
Judge of Election.
Two Inspectors cf Election.
Three Borough Auditors.
Assessor.
This makes long string of officers
to be voted for and gives our citizens
fair chance to attain honor. Any of
us are liable to wake up some fine
morning to find ourselves elected to
one OF the many places to be filled.
Alas, there is sad side to the story for
as many will wake up to find them
defeated as will awake to find them
selves famous and elected. A residence
Of two months in the Borough, an6 a
payment Of tax within two years is
necessary for those who expect to vote
at fhe ensuing election.
