A Village Blacksmith Saved His Lit
 tie Sons Life.

MT. H. Fl. Black, the well known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co.,, N. Y., says: "Our little son, five years old, has always been sub ject to croup, and so bad have the at talks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medi- cines, but Chamberlain s Cough Rem edy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucous and by giving frequent doses when the croupy symptoms appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled" There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to babe as to.an adult.

$4,000 in cash, stamps and postal cards
was stolen from the post Office by pro-
fessional craftsmen. The robbers en-
tered the Federal building through a

hole was bored into the vault, and the
combination lock was forced. They
cleaned the vault out completely and
for several hours Wednesday there

THROUGH OPEN DRAW.
Go Into the Rouge River at
DeIray, Mich.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 1.-Two Wa
bash locomotives and the three
freight cars of Wabash fast eastern
freight train No. 0 plunged through
an open draw bridge into the Rouge
river at Delray at six a. m. Friday.
The engine crews had remarkably
narrow escapes and no one was in
jured. The heavy train approached
the bridge too rapidly to be con-
trolled. The rule is to stop 100 yards
from the bridge unless signaled other
wise.
Engineers Wagner and McNab say
that the signal indicated to come
ahead. The bridge tender AYERS that
the signal was set to stop. The en-
gineer and fireman of the head en-
CINE jumped off easily. The men on
engine two narrowly got out through
the tender gangway. The bottom
of the Rouge is very soft, and the en-
gines have sunk out of sight. Wabash
trains are passing over the Michigan
Central, as the approach to the Wa
bash bridge is blocked.

IMNIME&M
United States government does not ap-
prove of Russia's proceedings.
The Daily Express publishes an inter-
view with a New York Chinaman, Liu
Chuah, now staying in London, who adj
mits Ii Hung Changes "duplicity and
rooted antagonism to western ideas"
but thinks that the allies have no choice
but to negotiate with him or to retire
from China altogether.
To Frustrate Williams schemes.
M. De Blowitz, the Paris correspond
ent of the Times, asserts that the origin
of Russia's decision to e~vacuate Picking
was her desire to Illustrate the schemes
of Emperor William and to correct the
impression produced by the kaiser's
speech attributing to Emperor Mich
olas the initiative in the appointment of
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee to
the command Of the international
troops.
Russia also desired" says M. De
Blowitz, ito save France from the hard
necessity of placing her troops under
Count Won Waldersee. The United
States was also much dissatisfied with
the prospect of its troops acting under
German orders. If you compare the
Russian evacuation proposal with the
American plan for beginning negotia-
tions before Count Won Waldersee's ar
rival, and if you add to this the prompt
adherence of France, addressed to the
United States, you have the complete
key to the Russo-American mystery"
