Was Thought at First To Be the
Blowing Of a Safe.
They May Have Been
Revolver Shots.
Nothing Gould be Learned About
Matter Last Night.

While sitting in the Canal National
bank at twenty minutes past ten last
evening Night Watchman Flanagan
heard two very loud explosions as If
SAFE was being bIoWed. The first sound
WAS sharp and the second was louder
than the first. The cat which was asleep
on one of the long counters was much
frightened and jumped down and ran
about. Watchman Flanagan at once
started out to investigate but found
everything all right about the building.
Then he telephoned to the police station
and Deputy Marshal Firth notified all OF
the patrolmen speaking to them through
the telephones, to make Investigations.
The deputy also went out and for half
an hour carefully looked about the prem
ises OF all the bank buildings and many
OF the business houses in the central
part of the city. Everything was In good
order.
q The deputy and the officers prowling
around the buildings soon aroused a
great deal of interest and the news
quickly spread that bank ha d been
robbed. The messenger boys in the of1ic5
Of the Western Union Telegraph office say
that they heard unusual sounds at few
minute Tas5 ten O'Clock. But the other
night watchmen, the employees of the
hotels and drug stores said that these re-
ports were new to them.
AS an explanation OF the sound that
Waterman Flanagan heard it is thought
by the police that a suicide may have oc-
CURED. This morning something tangible
may be furnished to clear the mystery.

The Succesn and Popularity OF tn
New 1atnrrh Cure.
The remarkable success and
popularity Of the new Catarrh
cure. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is
largely because it not only cures
catarrh. but because catarrh SUI
ferers who use these tablets know
what they are taking into their
systems; no secret is made OF
what they contain They are COM
posed of Hydrastin, blood root,
guaiacol and red gum, are pleas
ant to the taste and being dissoiv-
ed in the mouth they take imme-
date effect upon the mucous lin
ing of the throat, nasal passages
and the whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have accomplished in old
chronic cases are little short of
remarkable, and the advantage of
knowing just what you are taking
into your system is of paramount
Importance when it is remember
ed that the cocaine or morphine
habit has been frequently con-
tracted as the result of using Sc
cret catarrh remedies, as so many
of them are well known to contain
these injurious drugs.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet
with the approval and cordial sup
port of physicians because, their
antiseptic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general pub
lie to use and their composition
makes them common sense cure
for all forms of catarrhal trouble.
With nearly all advertised ca
tarrh cures, it is matter of guess
work as to what you are taking
into the stomach, as the propri-
tors, while making all sorts OF
claims as to what their medicines
will do, are very careful to keep it
close secret as to what they real
ly contain.
This is one reason why Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets have been so
widely recommended, because they
are not only pleasant and convent
ent to take but the patient also
knows he is not putting into his
stomach anything of an injurious
character
These tablet are sold by drug
gists everywhere in the United
States and Canada at so cents for
complete treatment, and probably
there is no better remedy ever de-
vised for the permanent cure Of
catarrh, whether located in the
head, throat, bronchial tubes or in
the stomach.
