The aggregate stealngs of men who
violate public and private trusts, by
defalcation ard embez2lement, are
probably much greater every year than
those of the burglars and highway
men put together, says the Cleveland
Leader.
The record of such stealings during
1895, as compiled by the insurance com
panies which guarantee employers
against the dishonesty of their EN-
ployes, and the public against the dis.
honesty of officials, shows that the sum
of $9,4G5,021 was obtained. The cases
Of embezzlemsnt reported numbered
240. OF these II stole more than $780,
600, $50 more than 100000, one moro
than 100000, and one more than ST. :
100000.

Interesting Boat Race.

PITTsBuRG, March 20 The steamers
keystone State, from Cincinnati, and
Kanawha, from Charleston, got in last
night, These two boats had quite an
interesting race coming up the river
yesterday. In the afternoon the Ka-
nawha was sighted by the keystone a
short distance in front, and steam was
put on, and, after d pretty race of ten
miles, the keystone succeeded in pass
ing her rival While the former boat
made landing the Kanawha got ahead,
and then came pretty race.
Both boats got up steam to a high
pressure and each was pushed to her
best. All through the fore part Of the
night they steamed ahead, close to each
other, neither apparently gaining any
advantage over the other Right up
into the harbor they came, and finally,
by an unusual burst of speed, the Key
stone gained 4 point and made the
landing on the wharf Just little ahead
of the Kanawha. The passengers on
both boats sold pools on the race and
considerable money changed hands.

without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. hx-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in 1t we have certain ana
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, etc" 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even II they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good. because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor Tt
Weakened Mankind.

There Is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes man so
oveThows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
uraI size and vigor. As it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested In remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. As the remedy In
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, II
would seem that all men suffering
with any form OF nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to 81. @. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
II a trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where In
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dit
covery, there is no doubt about tn,
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mfr. Odds so that he may
know how you sanNe to write him.
