There is more Catarrh is this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and Until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doc- tors pronounced it local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by constantly fail- ing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease and therefore re- quires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca- tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu- lars and teetim onials. Address,

DIES FRYING PRAISE

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that have given such univer. sal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not fol. low their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. W. n. Camp, Druggist

ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE
At a Railroad Crossing in Canaan. ANOTHER WARNING THAT TT IS TIME TIC
 CEASE TEMPTING PROVIDENCE.

Last Wednesday evening as G. Archi- bald Adam and his sister were driving down Church street they came very near being run over by a freight train on the 0. N. E. & W. R. R. The train was backing down; there was no whistle blown, or signal of any kind given, and as the train was long one there was no noise from the engine to warn. The horse had crossed the first rail before the moving car was noticed by Miss Adam, who had presence of mind to catch the reins and pull the horse back it was done so quickly and effectively that Mir Adam was thrown over the dash board, falling between the horse and wagon. He was up in moment, and seized the horse which was plunging. Miss Adam was thrown out and the wagon turned bottom side up, but the horse did not get away, and with the help of MT w. A. Lawrence, who has, tened to the spot, things were soon righted. No one was hurt, but is it not wrong that such dangerous crossings should go unprotected?
 If the railroad company cannot afford to keep fagman surely they could see to it that brakeman is stationed on the rear car to warn people. That would cost the company nothing and be great relief and comfort to the public, and in the end may save the railroad a good many thousands.

The foregoing item was contributed to the NEWS with the request that we al- so publish some comments of our own. We do not think that such plain state ment of facts needs any comments; yet we will add that notwithstanding this fortunate accident at the Church street crossing on Wednesday evening, train of cars was allowed to virtually block ade said crossing nearly or quite all day Sunday and yet there was plenty oi room to leave the train several rods fur. ther west on the siding.
 The NEWS is frequently urged to agitate the subject of abolishing the grade crossing on Bennett's hill and of protecting the Church street crossing. The NEWS has agitated the subject as often as it deemed expedient. Further. more, in the vain hope that the select men would take some action that would eliminate the grade crossing at Bennett's hill and protect the crossing on Church St. we have for a number of months suppressed the publication of the fol. lowing poem which was contributed to the NEWS and which we now feel i'm. peratively called upon to publish: What have we done, the selectn1en say,
 To put us forward on the way?
 How can we show the people we serve
 That we are mighty men of nerve2
 We've promised to see that right was done, But of actions taken can name but one To muzzle dogs so they cannot bite,
 May credit us as men of might.
 Now in very quiet way,
 This is what the people say:
 Still are the death traps open wide,
 Still we meet danger on every side. Men of all common sense bereft,
 Its cold, cold day when the people get left Protect our crossings at once, we say,
 Or vel nsaszzle you on Election dayl

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. ia Pinker.
ton detective named Summers was
yesterday arrested at Pittsburg, Miss,
charged with purloining $4,000 pack
age from the Southern Express office
at Meriden on Tuesday, Dec. 9th, and
it is said the package was bound for
Texas and was merely being trans
ferred at Meridian. The express clerk
placed it in the Office safe, an old key
locking affair and went to meet anOth-
or train, having Summers in his office.
When he returned Summers was still
there but the package was gone. A
thorough investigation was instituted
and upon'Summers leaving for New
Orleans he was arrested en- route and
conveyed back to Meridian. Sum-
mers has had varied career, being
formerly yardmaster of the illinois
Central at Chicago and afterwards in
New Orleans. While here he was
seized with pugilistic fever and was
easily defeated by Tom Wyderforth
in fight before the Audubon Club.
Summers was next heard of as a
Pinkerton detective detailed in the
service of the Southern Express COM
pany, and figured prominently with
Detective Jackson, his present &C.
cuser, in killing the noted train
bandit Eugene Bunch.

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 12.-It would
seem the border between this coun-
try and Mexico is again to be the
scene of another fiasco similar 10 that
established by Catarino Cara in No
vember, 1891. Ceron, commander Of
the Mexican garrison in New Laredo,
received word by courier yesterday Of
a pit ched battle which took place Sat-
uroay at small garrison on the Next
can side of the Rio Grande opposite
San Ygnacio, Zapata county, In which
Capt. RutilO Segure0, o lieutenant
and four Mexican soldiers were killed
and two wounded. The dispatch
states that three bands of banditsi
supposed to be the remnants of Gar
za's band, crossed the Rio Grande be-
low Garlic, Zapata county, at diff
ferent places and then Joined the
forces and attacked the garrison.
The bandits were estimated to num-
Der 175 men and the soldiers were
forty-five in number The troops
were garlisoned in a jacal or small
house with matched roof, and

scene OF conflict and another
company Is coming up from Guerrero
which Is only abouttwenty miles from

arms borne by the infantry. At the
session today several questions were
asked on the subject. Chancellor
Won Caprivi said the quality of the
rifles in use by the army was thor
oughly good both as regards pattern
and execution. He added that the
weapons were fully equal to require
ments of the present conditions OF
war. He included in his description
of the soldiers arms, the weapons
manufactured by Lowe e. Co.
IN THE REICHsTAG.
BERLIN, Dec. 12,-In the reichstag
today Count Won Meirbach, Conserve,
tive, asked the government to assist
the bi-metalists at the international
monetery conference at Brussels.
Chancellor Won Caprivi replied that
the German delegates TO the confer
ence had been instruc ed not to give
their sent to any proposal that re-
stricted Germany's rights to decide
wha should constitute her own cur
rency, The had also instructed that
Germany was content with her pres
ent system and would not depart from
it. The chancellor said the Conserva-
tives were evidently trying to harness
the currency question and anti-semit-
ism to the same car. Events that had
occurred during the last few weeks
caused the greatest dismay. If anti
semitism and bi. metalism were to be
used as demagogic cries the govern
ment would have to make determ-
med stand. 1t would be deplorable If
the honorable members of the reich
stag made their attitude on the mill
tary bill dependent upon bi-metalism
and placed the latter question hig her
than the question of the defensive
power of Germany.
