CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY
FEVER.
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove this
to All Sufferers in MankatO.

The majority Of sufferers from
Asthma and kindred complaints,
after trying Doctors and numberless
Remedies advertised as positive cures
without avail, have come to the con-
clusion that there is no cure for this
most distressing disease, and these
same persons will be the more in
doubt and skeptical when they learn
through the columns of the press that
DR.. Rudolph. Shiffmann, the recog
nized authority who has treated more
cases of these diseases than any living
Doctor, has achieved success by per-
fecting remedy which not only gives
immediate relief in the worst cases
but has positively cured thousands of
sufferers who were considered incur
able. These were just as skeptical as
some of our readers now are. Dr.
Schiffman's remedy no doubt posses
ses the merit which is claimed for it
or he would not authorize this paper
to announce that he is not only will
ing to give free to each person suffer
ing from Asthma, Hay Fever, or
Bronchitis in this city one liberal
Stree trial box" of his Cure, but ur-
gently requests all sufferers to call at
Lamm & Morehart's Drug Store, 1926
South Front street within the next
three days and receive package alb
solutely free of charge, knowing that
in making the claim he does for his
Cure, a strong doubt may arise in the
minds of many, and that personal
test, as he offers to ALL will be more
convincing, and proves it's merits,
than the publishing of thousands of
testimonials from persons who have
been permanently cured by the use of
his Asthma Cure. ''Dr. Schiffman's
Asthma Cure" as it is called, has
been sold by Druggists of this city
ever since it was first introduced, al
though many persons may never have
heard of it, and it is with view to
reaching these that he makes this
offer. This is certainly most gener-
Gus and fair offer, and all who are
suffering from any of the above COM
plants should remember the date and
place where the distribution will be
made, and avail themselves of the
same. Persons living out of this city
who desire to test the efficacy of this
most wonderful remedy will receive
a package free by mail by writing to
DR.. r. Schiffmann, $50 Rosabel street,
St. Paul, Mimi, providing their letter
is received before Oct. 10th, as no free
samples can be obtained after that
date.

The opposition can't find a thing to
say against Major Mckinley, and so
they turn their abuse upon Chairman
Hanna. But Mr.. Hanna is not the
man who is running for the presi-
dency. 1t is Major Mckinley who will
occupy the white house after March
4th next. But the silverites are so far
out of the race that they have lost
sight of this fact.

ACCORDING to the Popocrat idea a
plutocrat is good or bad according to
his views upon the money question.
If he is for silver dollars worth only
so cents he is great friend of the
poor, but should he be for sound
money and honest stable government,
the widest picture of his satanic ma
jesty, will not do justice of their idea
of him. But consistency is a matter
the Pops left out of their dictionary.

The ReUleeo is respectfully informed
that the FREE PRESS has no "spleen"
against Mr.. Randall, but it most en-
phatically considers him an egotist of
the most pronounced type And this
estimate of the gentleman is shared in
by mostly all who know him. The
real merits of the case, as to whether
CT not candidates appearing as the
representatives of two parties shall
pay double fee into the county
treasury is one of law and not of senti-
ment, and the effort of Mr.. Randall to
attach blame to County Auditor
Gunders for securing legal determine.
tion on the question is not, we are
pleased to say, even endorsed by the
Reuieao. The attorney general says
they should do so, and this decision
will stand until reversed by higher
tribunal, Mr.. Randall notwithstand-
ing. And we might say here, without
depression from the main subject,
that Mr.. Gunders has made one of the
most popular, painstaking and compe-
tent auditors the county has ever had.
Randall is one of those individuals
who thinks he knows more than any
one else. Gunders comedies that he
does not possess all the information
extant-law and otherwise-and is
willing to seek counsel and accept
legal advise. And the tax payers will
endorse his action.

Crime a Most Brutal One. the
Men Being Shot Down
Without Warning.
Bandits Grab a Roll of Bills
and Make Their Escape
on Bicycles.
Posses on the Trail of the Muir.
dererS and Their Capture
Is Expected.

SHERBURNE, Mimi, Oct. 8.-Two
daring bank robbers, both of whom
were young men, robbed the Bank of
Sherburne of over 81 900 at :15 p. M,
and in doing so killed two highly re-
spected men. The dead are: George
Thorburn, assistant cashier; Olaf J.
Oestern, travelling collector, Wood
Harvester company, st. Paul.
The deed is one of the most brutal
ever committed in the state. 1t recalls
with startling vividness' the crimes of
the Younger and James gangs in old
frontier days. The methods of the rob-
beers were similar to those of the notori-
GUS bandits named.
The assassins left $4,000 in gold, pre-
sumably because the coin was too
heavy. After killing the men and Sc
curing over 81, 900 in bills the robbers
leaped through a back window, and
established a new use for bicycles.
They
Made Their Escape Upon The Wheels,
and at late hour have not been cap
tured, although posses under Mayor
Everett and Sheriff Hill are securing
the country in every direction.
The brutality of the crime is wholly
without precedent in the state of Min
nesota. The robbers shot down their
victims without waiting to see if any
resistance would be made to their de-
mands for the cash. They dashed
within the bank, killed the only two
persons therein, and, leaping over the
counter and the bodies of the slain,
they seized the roll of bills from
the counter and escaped. The whole
transaction occupied but single mo-
ment. Without a seconds warning
two highly respected men met their
death, and it is very likely that neither
of them had time to realize from
whence their death wounds came.
The Hunt for the Bandits.
The town is in a terrible state of ex-
element, and every man or boy who is
strong enough or old enough to assist in
the man hunt is out in the darkness
armed to the teeth. If the bandits are
taken they will be given short shrift,
for the entire community is wild with
anger. Adjoining towns are sending
their quote of men to assist in the hunt,
and before daybreak the circle of armed
men will be 30 miles in circumference.
It will be difficult for any one to slip
through it. Every road and every rail.
road is closely guarded. If the men
succeed in getting into the timber of
course the chances for their capture is
lessened, but it is not believed they can
get away.
