are looking for Edward White,an evan
gelist, who is wanted on the charge Of
robbng John Hoelzle of $50 cash, gold

very devout, and soon won the confid-
ence of a number of church workers.
He established home rescue mission,
and ran it quite successfully for a
time. Then a disagreement arose be-
tween him and some Of the leaders Of
the mission about money matters, and
White was expelled. He then went to
Cedarville, secured the Old Stone

months ago, started another rescue

Yesterday White was nowhere to be

he was drugged, because he slept with
unusual soundness Saturday night.

Prendergast, eX-health officer of Gin
cinnati, who was indicted by the grand
jury for blackmail, the charges being
made by the Fraser Medical company
of New York, has fled from the city.
DR.. Prendergast was to appear in the
criminal court this morning to answer
to the charge. His attorney received a
letter from him in which he said that
public sentiment has been so aroused
by reason of developments of crooked
ness among officials recently that no
accused official could have a fair trial.
The doctor further said in the letter
that he was going to the West for a
month or two, and at the end of that
time would certainly return for trial.
The attorney said he had not the
slightest knowledge of where the doc
tor had gone, and said he was amazed
at his action. His bond of $1,000 was
declared forfeited.

THE QUESTION or MEMORIAL DAY.
Closing Programme for Saturda,
Exercises.

There is quite a difference OF opin-
ION among the merchants of this city
In regard to the time when Memorial
Day should be observed, and whether
the stores should be closed on Satur-
day or Monday. 1t is thought that no
definite action will be taken, but that
the day legally set apart will be OBJ
served. On Saturday the banks will
be closed, and many will attend the
ruceo at Anthracite park.e There will
be a grand excursion on that day at
Farview and other attractions so that
the opinion seems to favor Saturday
on the whole as the proper season of
observance. Memorial Day exercises
will be held at the high school Sat
urday morning at $40. William H.
Davis post will attend. The follow
ing programme has been arranged:

IN most instances colds ore the result Of
imprudence or a lack of forethought. Even
in cases where a sudden change in the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re-
sponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving little care. But 90 mere cold f" Is
such q common thing and causes 60 little
inconvenience that notwithstanding all pre-.
yious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance of
draughts, etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising O constant vigilance
10 avoid catching cold. When the tempera.
ture in the house is higher than that out of
doors, never go out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in o cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And IL
is better to suffer little discomfort from
wearing heavy underclothing than to run
the risk of chill.
