But when Russell Brown reached
the age Of % he made his way one
night to the old mansion in the
western suburbs, in company with
a companion as reckless as he.
Crazed with drink and consumed
by a burning and quenchless thirst
for liquor, he conceived the insane
idea of selling his helpless old
grandmother and eXtorting from
her some costly jewels, which she
had always worn, in order that he
might pawn them for drink. Mrs.
Doris had for years worn diamond
earrings, conspicuously large and
supposed to be worth $1,000 each.
1t was these that Russell Brown
tried to secure. His friend waited
outside for him to return with the
Jewels. He entered the house with
out arousing suspicion, and finding

-"Perhaps you would not think
so, but a very large proportion of
diseases in New York comes from
carelessness about catching cold"
says DR.. Cyrus Edison. at is such
simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is a case
of pneumonia, pay any attention
to a cold. There are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this
neglect Of the simplest precaution
of every day life. The most SEN
sible advice is, when you have one,
get rid of it as soon as possible.
By all means do not neglect it,"
DR.. Edison does not tell you how to
cure a cold, but he will. Take

Mrs Sarah Dee and James Gates
were married one evening last week by

groom, in Martin and Dennis addition.
This announcement might not attract
particular attention was it not for the
fact that the bride was arrested a few

Gates housekeeper for the past four

with him.
There was a difficulty between the

Dee strike the old lady. She then locked

we have-oould surely furnish a netted
wagon for all dogs taken" The writer
then speaks of a case in which a small
dog was taken by the dog catcher and
choked and hurt SO that it howled pit
eously.
1t appears that the dog catcher should
be provided with a more suitable and
humane means OF catching dogs.

Complaint From "a County Oficial Because
the Court House l. Delay ed.
Much complaint is being heard over
the slow completion of the new court
house. In speaking of the matter one
county official said:
Il can't, for the life of me, understand
the dilatory methods of the commission
ers. They should put Oh large force Of
men and rush the building to completion.
With the present force of men the build
ing will not be completed before
March l.
Besides it would be a saving in rent,
as the county pays $3.50 per month for
the rooms in the office block.
Then it is really a shame for the
officers aud court to pass the winter in
these gloomy, ill-ventllated rooms"

It is refreshing to note the increased
interest taken in shooting by the mem

awhile this summer the club seemed to
be dead to the world, but now it is hav-

well attended
The club seems to have lost its hold on
inanimate target shooting and the mem
bers say they cannot do as well on the
mud pies as they could two years ago
What they have lost on the clays. how
ever, they have more than made mn on
live birds and prominent shooter of the
club said today that they would put I'D a
team of four men any time to shoot
against similar team from any other
sown in the state.
