Contents OF the Package.

There is awide difference of opinion
as to the amount contained in the val
liable money package secured by the
Illinois Central train robbers. Ex-
officials at Cairo, ILL.,, claim that the
stolen package contained not more
than $1,000, but this estimate is be-
lieved to fall far short of the actual
amount. The only man who knows
exactly what is in the package is the
Illinois Central agent at Memphis who
consigned it to Chicago, and his re-
port win probably not be made pub
lic The officials of the express COM
pany and the railroad company have
no fault to find with its surrender at
the command of armed men. In fact,
they are rather delighted that Mcneil
concealed all the valuable packages he
could in the short time he had. But
few of the passengers Of the train
were aware of the robbery at the
time.

a Fact Worth Remembering

There are many such of course, but
here is ole which specially commends
itself to lnvalids, viz, that in order to
acquire vigor, the basis Of health, that
invigoration is only possible by re-es-
tablishing the functions Of digestion
aud assimilation upon permanent ba-
sis. Stomachics in name are number
less. They impart slight stimulus
to appetite = nothing beyond this.
Much more is required, and Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters "fll the bill"
This time-honored standard inyigor-
ant builds up an enfeebled physique
and protects it against disease by in
iusuring the thorough conversion Of
the alument received into the stomach
into blood and bodily tissue. Clothed
with increasing strength through this
unfailing agency, the system is defen-
ded against influences prejudicial TO
health. Use the Bitters in malaria,
rheumatism, kidney and liver trouble
and constipation.

Rev. DIR. Sloan preached in the Associate
Reformed church last sunday morning In
their new church.
All were delighted 10 hear him, aud we
heard At least one educated gentleman say
that in the Doctor was found good example
for all young preachers. His life of useful
ness, and his sermons were examples worthy
OF all emulation. The Secedars are some
what noted for their long sermons, but the
Doctors sermons range from thirty to forty
minutes. He reduces the time by making
his sermons compact, and he never falls TO
hold the attention and interest OF his hearers.
This Is twice the people nave heard DR.. Sloan
recently, and they we're glad 10 have him
with them In the celebration Of the first ga.
crament OF the Lords Sup yer In their new
and beautiful church. The Doctor has been
q minister OF the Gospel, for. we presume,
snmething like fifty years, and now In bis old
age he rejOiceS 10 see the establishment OF an
Associate Reformed church at Abbeville, and
Abbeville IL always glad for him TO come
among us. While he * not physically as
strong as ne was years ago, yet his general
health IL better now than IL has been for
years Having faithfully served his Maker
and his peoplei for sO long time II IL but
Just reward that he be allowed, In the evening
of life. to linger and rest for awhile on tn.

been Il good man and u crown awaits him In

Honored alike In church and State, II will be
