Attempted d Robbery.

There was an attempt made to rob
the National Bank of Catawissa last
Thursday night. The burglars bored
a hole through the outer door and
forced the lock off to gain entrance.
They next proceeded to the vault and
there drilled small hole into the door,
evidently intending to place powder
and blow open the doors. They were
disturbed from some cause and left
the place. Had they gained entrance,
two other heavy doors would have
been found barring them from the
funds. Three suspicious characters
were seen to get off the evening up
train Of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and walk back in the direction of the
tank they carried a satchel. The
same parties were seen to take the
early morning train on Friday.

Oottolene.

Since Tuesday there has been
practical test of the merits Of Cotto-
lene given at the grocery side Of l. w.
McKelvy's store. Mrs. Sumner,
graduate of Mrs. Rohrers Cooking
School has been kept busy, with an
assistant, making cakes, pies, &C., for
those calling at the store to see the
great substitute for lard. Cottolene
IS made of 80 per cent. Cotton seed oil
and 40 per cent. beef fat 1t is the
purest, most healtnful and digestable
substance for cooking purposes. 1t is
used the same as lard, except that
two-thrds of a pound Of Cottolene
does the work of one pound Of lard,
and it is sold at IS cents a pound.
In using Cottolene there is no need
Of using any butter, as 1t answers
every purpose in making the best of
the pastries. Mrs. Sumner will re-
main here until Saturday evening; all
who can should call and see the cook
ing and test the articles.

The new orchestra comtemplates
giving a concert in the near future.
There are dozen members, and it is
the best organization of the kind the
town has ever had. Many of them
have played in public for charitable or
church entertainments on numerous
occasions, and now that they propose
to give concert for their own benefit,
they are entitled to very liberal sup
port. 1t costs money for music, as
well as time and practice, to belong to
such an orchestra, and the members
can hardly be expected to keep it up
at their own expense, to play for the
public benefit gratuitously. When they
announce their date every seat in the
house ought to be filled.

ing the coming spring. 1t is we'll known
to those engaged in that business that
good season always follows winter
that furnishes abundance Of cold
weather. The maple sap is always
sweeter after period Of intense frost
and furnishes a larger percentage of
sugar. Not only that, but the trees
yield larger quantity of sap after a
cold winter than they do after winter
that has frequent thaws and periods Of
warm weather.

Each time cigar dealer takes a
handful of cigars from a box and
spreads them on top of the show case
for purchaser to select from, he vio-
lates one of the most stringent laws of
the United States. The internal re-
venue law has rigid provision to the
effect that a retailer must not take
cigars from the box after it has been
packed and stamped. He should al
ways hand out the box to his custo-
mers and let them select from it.

Prof. ]. P. Welsh, Principal, and
Messrs. c. w. Miller, J. c. Brown,
and Geo. E. Elwell, of the Board of
Trustees of the State Normal School,
appeared before the Legislative COM
mittee on appropriations in the Capi.
tol at Harrisburg last week Thursday
night on behalf of bill that has been
introduced asking for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the school. This sum
is needed to pay off an old debt of
$4,000, and to erect the proposed
new building, including a gymnasium
and its equipment. The school is now
filled nearly to its utmost capacity, and
the new building will supply more
class-rooms, and accommodate about
100 more boarders. This school has
not asked for an appropriation in
seventeen years, when the Dormitory
burned. Since that time the Trustees
have erected the building containing
26 class-rooms, have added a large
wing to the Dormitory, and last year
remodeled the Auditorium, making it
one of the handsomest of the kind in
the state. There are II2 students in
the Senior class. Such an institution
that has done so much for itself, GER
tainly merits some recognition from
the state authorities, and it ought to
get what it asks for now.
A subcommittee from the COM
mittee on appropriations will probably
visit the school soon, and make per-
sonal investigation of its needs.

Catarrh Cures
Considered,
Their Effects, Defects, and Diff
fereuceS.

CatarrI medicines are Of two classes
those that cure and those that re-
lieve. Those that cure are called pal
liatives. The number OF specific, ca
tarrh remedies is small indeed; the
number of catarrh pallfatives is legion.
The effect OF eatarrh palliatives is often
immediate, but always temporary; they
never cure. This kind Of catarrh medi-
cines includes sprays, snuffs, inhagants,
gargles, and focal applications ct all
kinds. They seem to cure for awhile,
but the disease is sure to return.
Pe-ru-na belongs to the class OF ca
tarrh remedies called specifies. Peru
ma does not palliate the symptoms, but
cures the disease. 1t is sometimes
slow in it's action on old cases of chro-
mic catarrh, but it is sure. and its effects
are permanent. II is also an unfailirg
remedy for coughs, colds. bronchitis.
consumption in it's early stages, and all
the chronic diseases OF winter. An eX-
'cellent treastise on catarrh will be sent
free to any address by The Pe-ru-na

bus, Ohio.
