lock, Of thedry goods firm of Pollock Bros,
McKeespOrt, Pa, has been mysteriously
missing for several days. Recently the
store was damaged by fire aud the matter
was settled by the insurance companies
paying on a policy of $4,000 held by the
firm; $lI,O 600. IL half Of this amount
was paid to David Pollock a few days be-
fore his disappearance. Charles Pollock,
the senior member OF the firm, is unable to

turn at once the firm will be so badly
crippled that an assignment will be newt
able. The store is now closed.

A WARNING.

The modes Of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Threat and Lungs than any other
1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tuber-
Gle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
as is shown by slight tickling sensa
ton in the throat and if allowed TO con-
linue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to the
head, causing Catarrh Now all this is
dangerous and If allowed TO proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold
to go without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain bot
I G of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

St. Marga cts Items

The Bishop of this diocese Right Rev
Dr. Paret, held his annual service Sunday
afternoon at ST. Margaret's Church. Long
before the hour the campus surrounding
the church was filled with vehicles OF
every description, bringing together, per-
haps, the largest congregation ever as
senbed at this church. At four o'clock
the Bishop and the Rev. DR.. Spencer en-
tered the chanccl. DIR. Spencer read the
service, the Bishop pronouncing absolu-
ton. The Bishop took for his subject,
Baptism, Confirmation and the Holy
Communion" These ordinances of the
church were explained forcibly and so
plainly that each child in the congrega-
tion could understand them as the chan
nels by which God conveys his grace to
sinful man. Nine young ladies received
the ordinance of confirmation.
Rev. DR.. Spencer is doing good wol k
in this parish. He is not only an eloquent
preacher, but is also teacher, dcsid-
eratum in the church. CHARLEY.
