though the building was surrounded
by hastily awakened citizens fully

The cracksmen used nitro glycer-

and blew open the safe and the
money drawer within it. There
were three distinct explosions as the
robbsrs forced their way to the
banks treasure. Although they
were heard by hundreds of people
and the bank was soon surrounded
by. an excited throng, the safe
crackers escaped and are still at lib
erty. The third charge was explod-
ed even while the street in font was
thronged with people bent on cap
turing the daring men within.
The loss is S1,S00 in money aud

THE TRUE REMEDY.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill,
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption. Coughs and Colds. Ex-
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 it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if 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
