Thinks She Was Robbed,

Mrs. Rachel Moores tells report
er that while she was at the stamp
window of the postofiice, making
out money order, she thinks her
hand bag was slipped from her aud
her pocket book taken, which con-
tanned $1,000. She did not have oc-
casion to go into her reticule for
money until she returned home, and
it was then she missed her purse.
She said there were many standing
about the stamp window at the
time, and as her hand bag was de-
tached from her arm and lying on
the long table running under the
window, it would have been an easy
matter for some one to open it, take
out her purse and leave her with
the "bag to hold" She does not
blame the post Office officials, and
cannot say positively that her
pocket book was taken at this
time and place, but she cannot re-
member at what time or place else,
she could have lost it. We are sat
isfed that Col. Kelley would lay for
and put up a job to catch any slick
duck who may behanging about the

Read the Death Roll

Which the bills of Mortality of any
large city may be fifty designated,
and you will find that renal and yes
ical maladies, that is to say, those
that affect the kidneys and bladder,
have a remarkable promlnence-we
had almost said-preponderance.
Brght's disease and diabetes in the
chronic stage, are rarely cured, and
gravel, catarrh of the bladder and
enuresis, slay many. Yet at the
outset, when the trouble merely
amounts to inactivity of the organs
involved, the danger may be nulli-
fed by that thorough renal tonic
and diruetic, Hostetter's Stomach
Btters, which imparts the requisite
amount of tone to the organs, with
out over-e exciting them, and the use
of which is convenient and involves
no elaborate preparation. Dyspep-
sia, a usual concomitant of renal
complaints, and debility, which they
invariably produce, are remidied by
it. So also are constipation, mala
rial, rheumatic and nervous all
