Ross BranEon Caught RobbinE the Foster
Lumbsr Yard Omes.-In Other stsals.
Manager II. H Floyd OF the Foster
lumber yard stepped into the Office Of
the company on an errand last Thurs
day night about ten o'clock while on
his way home from the court house,
where he had been listening to the ar
guments in the knight case AS he
vas preparing to leave he noticed q
slight noise IN one corner, and upon
starting to investigate matters a youth
ful burglar, Ross BrannOn, came from
his hiding place and offered to give up
what plumber he had secured, about
SIS, il Mr. Floyd would let him go.
Mr.. Floyd took the money but turned
his prisoner over TO Sheriff Bradley.
BrannOn was taken before the cOun-
" attorney Friday, and after q severe
sweating confessed to having been re-
sponsibIe for the two Postofiee rob
berries within the past two months, and
numerous other steals. He also i'm
plieated other boys about town, but
after an investigation It was concluded
that this part Of his story was without
foundation. Brannon now denies the
whole confession, and as it is the only
evidence against him concerning the
pOstoface robbery, it would be hard
matter to convict him of that. He is
confined in the county Jail, and it has
not yet been decided whether to try
him on the charge Of breaking into the
the Foster lumber yard Office or turn
him over to the federal authorities to
be tried for robbing the postof1ce.
Brannon is but II years of age, and
is small for his years, and would easily
pass for a lad OF Is, and looks decided
ly the reverse Of q criminal. Heis a son
Of 9. A. BrannOn, who conducts the
secondhand store.

NEW KIND OF KISSING BUG.

Furnishes Amusement to LOafers at the
Expense OF Innocent Persons
People passing down the main street
last Friday we're asked by some one if
they had seen the kissing bug that had
been captured in the east and sent here
to some friend. OF course everyone
wanted to see it and they were handed
an innocent looking envelope which
they proceeded to open and unfold the
letter which was said to contain the
bug. A terrifying buzz greeted the in
quisitive one, and thinking the kissing
bug had come back to life, he generally
threw the letter down and proceeded to
make an escape. And then the crowd
laughed and the "taker" knew the joke
was on him. He had simply run up
against the famous police kissing bug.
The police kissing bug differs from
the real thing IN that it is made Of
piece Of wire, some cardboard and
piece OF rubber. The wire is bent in a
semi-circle and the piece Of cardboard
fastened at either end by the rubber.
The cardboard is twisted around as
often as it wiz stand, and then the
whole thing is folded in a piece Of
paper and slipped in an envelope. The
innocent 'takerF opens the envelope
and the reserve force Of the rubber is
expended in q most hOrrifying manner
by the buzz Of the cardboard striking
against the paper, much to the discOm-
future Of the one who thinks he viii see
q dead kissing bug, and the great
amusement Of the onlookers.

Adds His Evidence
STORY IS THE SAME AS FROM
OTHER SOURCES.
Lots of Money Spent but no Returns
Have Been Received.

The people in Pennsylvania willingly
add their evidence to that which has al
ready been given in favor OF Morrow's
Kld-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, sleepleSs-
ness ard nervousness. Our druggists re-
port wonderful cures and state that kld-
ne-oids are daily increasing IN the opln-
ion of our people. Kid-ne-olds act di-
rectly upon the kidneys and nerves and
restore them to their natural condition.
Good kidneys make good blood, good
blood makes strong nerves, Kld-ne-oids
make good kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr.. John Beightol, I23 Du Bois street,
Du Bois, ra., says:-FOr years | was
troubled with kidney disorders, and dur
ing this time l tried different kinds OF kid
ney remedies, but meyer found anything
that gave me relief like Morrow's KID
ne-oids. Before taking Kid-ne-oids l
suffered with a dull heavy pain in the
small OF my back which would be fre-
quented by a sharp shooting pain just over
the kidney extending up the spine to
the shoulders, also urinary disturbances
Of an annoying nature Since taking
Kid-ne-oids they have relieved me OF
these troubles and l am feeling better III
every respect. l will continue to take
Kid-ne-oids.'
