Certain strange characters have
been about this city of late who have
aroused suspicion by selling quite valu
able articles from house to house at
unreasonably cheap rates. Several
parties have been visited who have
taken it upon themselves to notify the
police, consequently the officers are on
the lookout for the strangers with the
intention of apprehending them in case
their is good reason to suppose their
ware is stolen.
E. Fl. Hollister had very narrow
escape Wednesday evening. In the
midst of the very heavy storm shortly
after 6 o'clock, when it was so dark one
could scarcely see his hand in front of
him, he was delivering some cream to
parties on the west end of Park street.
! The horse suddenly came up against
pile of sand lying in the road, and was
about to mount it when the carriage
went over, tipping Mr.. Hollister and
the cans of cream into the road. The
horse was stopped before going far but
| in the meantime some one stole one
can of the cream. However, Mr.. Hol
lister is thankful to get out even with
a damaged carriage and minus cream
can.
Few men in this country are better
or more favorably known to the drug
and medicine trade than Mr.. E. J.
Schall, buyer in the proprietary med
icine department of the Meyer Bros
Drug Co., St Louis. He says; " My
boy came home from school with his
hand badly lacerated and bleeding, and
suffering great pain. | dressed the
wound and applied Chamberlain's pain
Balm, freely; all pain ceased, and in a
remarkably short time, it healed with
out leaving scar. For wounds, sprains,
swelling and rheumatism, [ know of
no medicine or prescription equal to it,,
I consider it a household necessity"

The North side was stirred up con
siderably Wednesday noon by what
promised to be very serious affair.
A team of horses which had taken
fright on Park street and found their
way to Milwaukee avenue by way of
Middle street, made it's appearance
just above Joseph Bendt's grocery
store with a pole and the two front
wheels, all that was left of a wagon.
When they struck the avenue they
took the sidewalk making their way
southwark at tremendous pace. A
little boy stood in the path Of the
rushing horses, and on lockers thought
he would be crushed under their feet.
He managed to wriggle out of the way,
however, just in the nick of time. The
team maintained it's headlong course
until contact with the scales next to
Bendts store threw one of them. This
put an efectual stop to the runaway,
but left Mr.. Bendt's scales in some
what dilapidated condition.
