THIEvING MAIL CLERKS.
Canadian Authorities on the Track
of a Gang.

For some months past there have been
numerous mail robberies in connection
with the Ottawa postoffice and other
points in Canada, and, although several
arrests have been made and convic-
iions secured. the disappearance of
registered letters or the abstraction of money
from registered letters continued. Recently
a young married mail clerk named Catellier,
son of the Dominion registrar, running on
the Pembroke train, was arrested and
decoy letters found ON his person.
His arrest was followed by the arrest
of another mail clerk named Hayes
of Hawkesburv today, Catellier having
given his chrm away. Both have adj
mitted their guilt. 1t is learned that further
startling revelations will be made in day
or so in connection with these robberies,
which il has been discovered have been
perpetrated by some organized gang of
government employees, and that several
more arrests will follow. Doth Cateller
and Hayes belong to respectable fami-
lies and their arrests have caused scnsa-
ton.

DANGER from, Catarrh

Catarrh is an exceedingly disagreeahle disease,
its varied symptoms-discharge at the nose, bad
breath, pain between the eyes, coughing, choking
sensation ringing noises in the ears, etc.-belng
not only troublesome to the sufferer but offensive
to others Cdtarra is also dangerous, because it
may lead to bronchitis consumption. Being a
blood disease the true method of cure is to purify
the blood by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"For several years had been troubled with a
kind of asthma catarrh In my throat. My wife
wanted me to try bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla. [
must say was very much benefited by using it and
would recommend it very highly. ELIAS p. DEv-
