A prominent physician and old army surgeon in eastern Iowa was called away from home for few days; during his ab. sence one of the little children contract ed severe cold and his wife bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for it. They were so much pleased with the remedy that they afterwards used sev. eral bottles at various times. He said,
 rom his experience with it, he regarded it as the most reliable preparation in use for colds, and that it came the nearest be. ing specific of any medicine he had ever seen. For sale by H. J. Peto, Drug, pist.

BOLD BANK BURGLARS
THE EAsToN NATIONAL BANK VISITED
BY THIEVES.

hA ADAhN Eos
Eastou, July 22.-The boldest rob-
berry ever committed in the Lehigh
Valley took place in the Easton
National Bank at high noon to-day.
The bank is a handsome structure,
in the very heart of the business sec
ton of the city, and has double doors,
which stood wide open to-day revealing
the interior to passers by, while the
large plate glass windows were swung
so AS to give an unobstructed view of
the counting room.
1t was thought that robbery in such
q place would be impossible, and yet
$4,000 was spirited away in a flash.
Three men were engaged IN the affair.
First a well dressed man entered the
bank, aud going 70 the discount clerks
window asked T'What is your name?"
The clerk answered "Bixler."
"YOu are the man l want 10 see,
then" said the stranger. Il represent
the Bixler estate Of Germany" and
then he proceeded to confer with MI.
Bixler relative to a fortune left in the
old country for Bixler heirs. After
some conversation he left.
A few minutes after he entered a
man stepped to the ~teller's window and
addressed Chief Bookkeeper Frank
Sletor, who was serving in the
/, absence, at dinner, of Mr.. jacob Holt,
the teller. He asked Mr.. Sletor to
accept $50 which he prOffered, and
hold it for a note which would shortly
fall due in the bank. Mr.. Sletor told
him that it was not the custom to do
business in that way, as the man kept
no account at the bank. However, he
could open an account if he liked.
While saying this, Mr.. Sletor was
COUNTING the package of money. He
found it to contain out SIS, and told
the man he should take ii back to
wherever he got it and have it msde
right. The stranger got Mr.. Sletor to
count again and then saying he was
satisfied that the package was short, he
left the bank. He had held Mr..
Sletor's attention about three minutes.
A few minutes later Mr.. Sletor
missed a package of 81 bills which
shortly before he had noticed in q
safe which was inside of the money
vault in the rear of the counting DON
William Hackett, the cashier, returned
from dinner at one o'clock, and Mr..
Sletor informed him. An investiga-
ton was at once made, and it was
found that a package containing $4,000,
mostly in 81 bills, was gone. The
package was bulky, and how the thief
got it out unobserved is q mystery.

RUNAWAY CAR F.!
EXCITEMENT ON THE LHHIGH
RAILROAD THIS MORNING.
A BRAKE CHAIN OF A CAR BREAKS.
An Engineers Race Through
Town to Prevent a Disaster.
He Succeeds 10 Arresting
the Runaway.

AT four O'clock this morning the Empire
freight train on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
drawn by engine No. 557, in charge of En-
gineer Pete Mccarthy, left Packerton for
this town.
When about two hundred yards from the
red bridge, east of this town, the engine
vas cut loose and was run to the limerick
street crossing to allow one of the cars to be
side-traoked.
The car was detached in charge of a
brakeman and another brakeman stood at
the switch between the bridge and the
crossing at which the engine stood, read y
to receive the balance of the train.
As the detached car passed under the
bridge the brake chain broke and the man
on top of the car lost control.
The grade from the bridge to the crossing
is quite heavy and the released car was
given additional speed every few yards.
The engineer took in the situation at a
glance and signalled the brakeman at the
switch to allow the runaway car to follow
his engine. Mccarthy then put on a full
head of steam and started westward at a
ffY-mile gait, blowing constantly as he
sped along for a clear track.
The freight car, with the brakeman
clinging to the brake, followed on the same
track at a speed of over forty miles an
hour.
Mccarthy sped through town, sounding
the alarm, and the railroad was soon lined
with thousands of people, who wero unable
to understand the situation. It was a
thrilling race and those who knew the cir
cumstances were sure that it would enc dis
as trously. But Mccarthy, the engineer, is
a man Of good judgment and nerve. He
stood at the lever like a hero, running
ahead of the runaway car like the hero on
horseback who sped through Conemaulh
Valley when the Johnstown food took
place.
By skilfully manipulating the speed of
his engine he or adually decreased the dis
lance between his charge and the freight
car and, finally, at Shenandoah junction,
where the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Val
ley railroads connect, but few feet separated
the two, A few yards further, and the
bumper of the freight car was against that
Of the engine. The speed of both were
then decreased. A few minutes later Nc
Carthy backed up to limerick street cross
ing with the runaway car in charge. The
car was side-tracked and Mccarthy pro-
ceeded with the balance of the train to Mt.
Carmel.
McCarthy's presen ce of mind saved the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company con-
siderable loss and, perhaps, saved many
lives.
The runaway was one of the most exoit-
ing events ever witnessed on the local
branch of the railroad. Had the runaway
car been switched it would have crashed
into the yard Of the Shenandoah Feed and
Lumber Company and the brakeman on
top of the car would have been crushed in
to a shapeless mass. Had the car been
given a free track, it is hard to imagine what
would have been the result. It would
certainly have been disastrous. There was
only one method to avoid the two evils,
and that was the one suggested by Nc
Carthy's presence of mind.

Big Snake. Plucky Girl.

Last year "a monster snake was seen
in the neighborhOod of DOnnell's mill
in North Carolina, and its length was
variously estimated by several parties
who saw 1t at from eight to fifteen feet.
An attempt was made TO kill it, but it
went into a thIcketon the banks of the
creek. Nothing more was seen Of this
monster snake until last Friday, when
Miss Ida l., Robson saw q COW, the
property Of Ma Abner Scheduled,
down and struggling, and went to see
what was the matter. Imagine her
surprise to see coiled around the neck
of the COW an immense snake some four
inches in diameter and at least ten feet
in length. ThecOw wa being choked
to death, and the brave girl took hold
Of the snake with both hands, aud,
being a strong girl, she with great diff
ficulty got it loose, or perhaps
frightened it untilit uncoiled itselfand
ran into the thieket. After awhile the
COW, with aid from the lady, got upon
its feet and was driven home. The
snake was of u brown color and showed
no signs Of striking or biting, as is
common to all our native snakes, hence
IL is believed to be an anaconda which
has made its escape from some me-
nagerie.

A False Report.

In some unexplained manner a report
was originated at an early hour yesterday
morning to the effect that by the bursting
of = dam at Mt. Gretna sevouty-Gve mem
b5rs Of the state militia had been drowned.
Postmaster Medlar was called out of bed
and implorsd to learn the particulars of the
sad catastrophe. Mrs. VIM. Dry, wife of u
member of the Silliman Guards, was
thrown into commissions upon hearing the
startling news. To those who were &C
quainted with the character of the country
around Mt. Gretna the report bore its own
contradiction on its face, but naturally the
families and friends of the soldier boys
we're anxious to receive a more positive
denial. Postmaster Medlar sent a tele-
gram 10 Mt. Gretna about 10 o'clock and
waited until 4 o'clock before the following
reply was received MT. GRETNA, July
2O.-YAL MEDLAR,-We atN all right.
Report false. Iuform friends. Andrew
Comrey." The dispatch was posted up on
the window of the post office, but in the
meantime tie fears of the friends of the
soldiers had been allayed. 1t would be- in
teresting to know who originated the
story.-Trj- Weekly Record.
