Last Monday night one Of the front
windows Of the bank was completely
shattered. The noise awakened John
O'Neil who occupies room in the
building opposite; he lit lamp and
took a survey of the surroundings
but discovered no one in sight. The
query is: Was it an attempt rob the
bank. the work of some spiteful mis-
creant. or was it accidental? If the
the latter was the case it would be
more manly for the person or persons
to pay the damages and own up, thus
stopping the surmises for some inno-
cent person may be accused

Common-sense has great deal to

Common-sense in taking care OF

DR.. Shoop's great success in curing
sickness of the internal organs rests
upon his common-sense methods.
The simplest way is always the
best way, Going to the root of an

To cure disease by DISCRIMINATING

1t is certainly more scientific to
cure the disease itself than the evil

This is what DR.. Shops Restora-

Dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney
troubles. heart disease, ETC., can all
be traced to the same identical orr

proved to be the origin of the power
which causes the stomach, the liver,

to do the work for which they are
made.

another Demorest contest on last Err
day evening. The Mt. Ida band vas
present and furnished music on she
street and in the hall. There would
seem TO be no abatement of interest
in these exercises; the hall was well
filled with an attentive and somewhat
eager audience. The contestants
were seven in number ranging from,
twelve to fifteen years. Their reel
tations were thoroughly committed,
their voices were good. and their
enunciation, very distinct; they all
performed their parts remarkably
well and reflected credit upon those
who had so carefully trained them.
