Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents, and when once used secures the confidence of the people,

At Riley's store they broke in through cellar window. Two money drawers were found opened and a small amount of cash taken. As yet no clue has been obtained to the robbers

RUNNELL,s MUSEUm.

Successful. Opening Yesterday The
 ton.
 BunnelFs museum opened yesterday with large crowds in attendance both afternoon and evening. The general opinion expressed was that the museum was a success The whole show is remarkably fine for low priced entertainment.
 The hallway has been somewhat changed and improved. A short distance from the entrance is the ticket office, where for>a dime ticket is procured which admits to the museum proper, and also to the gallery of the theater, where a varied and interesting entertainment is given each afternoon and evening. An additional ten cents secures a seat in the body of the house.
 In the museum, which runs the entire lengtho the building, are several handsome ly draped platforms, on which are placed the wonders. Here was seen the Indian prin- cess, who entertained the audience with songs and history of her life The elastic haired lady and bearded girl were among other attractions shown. The side walls are lined with glass cases, in which are numer- ous natural curiosities Stuffed birds, ami malls and reptiles are displayed, showing the wonderful art of the skillful taxidermist Large frames, which inclosed photo graphs of over two hundred human wonders, which during the season are to be exhibited here, attract much attention, especially Nora Hi1debgand. Large mirrors which show the person before them to be as wide as he is tall, and other mirrors which make the person seem as if he were drawn out into mere skeleton, are ranged on the wall. From here the spectator goes to the rear of the hall, where separated by partition is a street scene of New York fifty years ago Miss Myrtle Kingsland exhibits and explains every fifteen minutes her automatic wonder The front represents 8 miniature palace, which at the proper time opens to view and number of sections in which appear various scenes in the Passion Play" It is wonderful piece of mechanical ingenuity, and is run by clock work and electricity. From this room the spectator, by side entrance, ascends to the theater where the performance begins as soon as the automatic wonder has been seen
 The hall last night was crowded to its ut most capacity, not even standing room could be had after s o'clock. The performance is of the variety kind and was very good in deed. Nelsoni, the Egyptian juggler, Sena- tor Frank Bell in his stump speech on ''The Tariff, , took the audience by storm The performance concluded with a Humpty Dumpty performance which greatly amused the audience. The museum cannot fail to please and delight the little folks and this resort will no doubt be a very popular one during the coming winter.
