A Bold Express Robbery.


CAREY, Ohio, October IA bold express
robbery was committed on the Cincinnati
Sandusky & Cleveland Railroad this morn.
ing between here and Urbana.
Immediately after the train left Urbana
two masked men, with cooked revolvers, en-.
tered the express car and compelled ths
Adams Express messenger, A. L. Scudder, tc
throw up bis hands. They then tied him
securely and robbed the safe of packages
containing several thousand dollars and
other valuables.
While they were at work the brakeman
attempted to enter the car and was shot al
by the robbers. He gave the alarm and the
train was slowed mp to give an opportunity
to capture the robbers, but they jumped
from the train just as they were entering
West Liberty and disappeared in the dark
ness.
Messenger Scudder was bound in his chair
with wash line that the robbers brought
with them. One of them whom the other
called Jack tried to kill Scudder before
leaving the car. Placing his revolver at his
head, he pulled the trigger, but the cartridge
failed to explode. The other robber then
prevented him from trying again.
When the train pulled out of West Lib
erty the two scoundrels again got aboard
holding the entire crew at bay. Scudder,
who had been released, opened fire on them
with pistol frorn his car door, but was
compelled TO retreat. The robbers kept on
board until Bellefontaine was reached, when
they again jumped off and disappeared just
as it was getting daylight.
Dispatches from Beliefontaine state that
two men have been arrested there on sus-
picion of being the robbers.

The Road to Prosperity.

The man who saves something every
year, quotes contemporary, who had
heard the remark from every quarter, is
on the road to prosperity. 1t may not be
possible 10 save much. If not, save a
little. Do not think that dollar or a
dime is too small sum to lay by. Every
body knows how little expenditures gets
away with large sums But few seem to
know that the rule is one that works
both ways. Ifa dime spent here and a
dollar spent there soon make large hole
in mans income, SO do dimes and dol
lars laid away soon become visible and
respectable accumulation. In this
country any man can make himself in
dependent or keep himself under the
harrow for life, according as he wastes
or spends his change.

Foolish Consistency.

Emerson tells us that there is no par
ticular virtue in consistency. How stupid
man must be, he says in effect, who il
not wiser to-day than yesterday, and
who does not accordingly have to change
some of his opinions
a man will never change his mind
who has no mind 10 change" says Arch
bishop Whately, and Faraday expresses
the same idea when he charges us to re.
member that, "In knowledge that mar
only is TO be despised who is not in 2
state of transition.
There is medium bet what .
worthy old gentleman calls "whifiin
about like weathercock" and remaining
rigidly in one rut of belief. Most Of Us
know instances Of men who cannot
bring themselves TO say anything which
would contradict what they uttered last
week or last year.
A certain Irishman once declared that
he had owned horse which was fifteen
feet high. A few days after he referred
TO the same animal as being fifteen hands
high.
But" said listener, you gave it the
other days as fifteen feet"
''Did I,fthin ?v said Patrick. "WeI
I'll stick to it, He was fifteen feet hi0h. :

dinner.
They called for their bill. The waiter
placed check, face down, on the menu.
The gentlemen were toasting each other
as the waiter did this, and when they
placed their glasses on the table he was
gone. They saw what appeared to them
to be scrap of paper on the menu and
brushed Il of. The old fellows were
ignorant Of the customs of French res
taurants, and they concluded that the
menu must be the bill. The colonel be
gan to figure up the prices 1t seemed
that they had eaten great deal, but the
names Of the dishes were in language
unknown to them, and anyway they
were no. in a mood to bother about tn
fes.
But the colonel gasped when he figured
up the total. 1t was $3.50.
Great heavens, sab" he exclaimed TO

his fist down on the table "Weare Ken

Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous
germs arising from low, marshy land oil
from decaying vegetable matter, are
breathed into the lungs, taken up by the
blood, and unless the vital fluid is puri.
fed by the use of good medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the unfortunate vic,
tim is soon overpowered. Even in the
more advanced cases, where the terrible
fever prevails, this successful medicine

poisons should keep the blood pure BY
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

BIG CRANBERRIES.- JOUR
NAL is just in receipt of as fine q
sample of cranberries as anyone
would wish to see. In size and
color they resemble Royal Ann
cherries. The berries are from the
cranberry field of j. o. Stearns, Esq.
of Waldport, and were sent by DIR.
S. A. Diven. The lands where
these berries We're raised, and in
fact all the land along Alsea bay,
near Walpsrt and Iaqulna are es
pecially adapted to the growing OF
these berries. These lands will
eventually be set out to cranberries
if they ever be made to their great
profits.
