nothing seemed to reach my trouble until got hold of bottle of Ackers English Remedy. Iprayed for health all the time, and my prayers were answered as soon as l began taking this celebrated Eng fish eXpcctorant and tonic. Since my re. coyery l have told hundreds of sufferers from coughs, colds and weak lungs that Ackcr's English Remedy would cure them Some of them won't try it, and it does seem to me terrible when anyone deliber. atcly refuses to be cured. There ought to be law compelling consumptivcs to take it. Even if they don't care for their own lives, the public's welfare should be consid- cred.

FOUR MASKED MENuN GANG

Emden, H., November 2S.-Four masked men wrecked the Farmers Bank of Emden early today. It is stated that they secured all the funds of the bank, between sS00O and $4000
 When the robbers discharged their first blast of dynamite in an effort to open the vault the explosion aroused citizen, John Alberts, four blocks away Alberts hurried to the bank. One of the robbers was on guard in the street. He seized Alberts, who was bound hand and foot and dragged into the bank, where he witnessed the gang drilling into the vault door making ready a second blast.
 When the fuse was lighted the robbers stepped outside and Alberts lay in the cor ner when it went off He was not seriously injured, however. The second blast un- hinged the doors of the vault and the rob bers made off with all the cash. Securing a handcar they made off in the direction of Delevan.
 There they were met by Night Patrolman Sanford, who attempted to arrest them. One of the robbers fired and Sanford fell morta1ly wounded through the body.
 Outside the town the men boarded pas senger train on the Chicago and Alton. All traces of them were lost. The engineer Of the passenger train says he saw man jump from the first car at Minor while the train was moving at a high speed, but a search of the locality failed to show any traces of the man.
 The bank building was almost total wreck and the vault was entirely ruined.

SOME QUESTIONS.

Why should the City of Norfolk vio-
phone Company in order to favor the
Bell Telephone Company?
Why should the City OF Norfolk for
bid the States Telephone Company to
charge over SSS IL year for IL telephone,
but allow the Bell Telephone Company
to charge $50 n year. or as much more
as it wants to?
If the Bell Company advanced its
rates as Il business necessity, how did
it happen to be Il business necessity to
exactly double them?
Why did the States Company allow
the Bell Company to cut rates for two
years when it could have stopped it at
anytime?
Why did it permit the Bell Com
pany to take business away from it by
a cut rate, it could have prevented, if
it is a bona fide competitor of the Bell
Company?
Why has 1t not offered any protest
against the Bell Company's new sche-
dule of rates. which is bound to in
jure it, if it is bona fide competitor
of the Bell Company?
Why has the Southern States Com
pany never called the city to account
for violating the contract between it
and the city in granting Bell Com
pany's franchise?
Is there any real competition between
two companies when one is able to
charge $50 for a given service when
another cannot charge over SIS for the
same service?
II the Southern States Company
could operate proiitably under the
maximum rates of $3S and $2S, why
could not the Bell Company do so?
If the Bell Company has been losing
money on its system in this city, why
did it not give the figures from it's
books to show it, instead of inviting n
Committee OF City Councils to go
all the way to New York to examine
its books?
These are few OF the things that
would greatly aid City Councils in the
consideration OF the telephone situation
in this city. VIII the Bell Company
and the States Company answer these
questions?

WHO STANDS FOR LICENSE AND
COwARDICEa

Anybody who will take the pains to
will be forced to the conclusion that for
folks who are declared to stand for
dishonesty and dishonor, license and
disaster at home, and cowardly shrink
ing from duty abroad" the leaders of
the Democratic party have contrivod
to show up pretty we'll in comparison
with their opponents.
The Republican nominee for the
Vice Presidency-who. it is asserted,
refused to accept the nomination until
assured that the chances were against
Mr.. Mckinley living to the end OF a
second term-began his campaign with
the most fragrant insult to six millions
of his countrymen that has been ut
tered by any candidate for an impor-
tant office in the 125 years of our ma
tional existence. The subsequent ca
reer of Mr. Roosevelt us u campaigner
has been in keeping with this begin
ming. If any citizen has dared to ex-
ercise the commonly recognized priyi-
lege of asking n question, he has been
overwhelmed by such epithets as COW
ard" hobo" bunker etc. from the
lips of this candidate of Il party that
boast of having Il monopoly of patriot
ism, honesty, conservatism gentility
and ability.
Following this splendid example. the
chairman of the Republican National
Committee has at various times pro-
claimed from the stump that the Presi-
1, &.
party is Il "hypocrite' a "slanderer'
and a wiful garbler OF facts Every
incident, however uilin" that could
be made 10 serve as Il text for abuse
has been put to that use. Hired heelers
have been directed to attend Rcpubli-
can speakings and make Interruptions
that they might be used 10 point morals
as to Democratic lawlcssness. From
beginning to end the Republican cam
naign has been marked by vitupcration
and vicious personalities. ana The gull
~ parties have been the most august
representatives OF Republicanism.
Can any man name a single parallel
for Roosevelt and Hanna among the
prominent men who have upheld Demo-
cratic principles in This campaign? Has
any Democrat, who is national figure,
been guilty of such ~ross breaches of
the most ordinary requirements OF
decent public discussion as marked the
speeches OF Mr.. Hanna ut Chicago and
at Lincoln; and of Roosevelt at Min
neapolis and in his tour of New York?
Has anybody heard Mr.. Stevenson call
a questioncr Il bunker or q hobo? Iias
Chairman Jones called President Me-
Kinley n hypocrite?
Whether they win or lose in this cam
paign, Democrats can at least feel the
supreme satisfaction that the national
opponents of Democratic principles
have demeaned themselves always in
accordance with the requirements of
gentlemanly discussion, and that their
record stands as rebuke TO The inso-
lent hoodlumism OF Mr.. Hanna. Mr.
Roosevelt and lesser lights in the Re
publican camp. If they favor disorder
they have not invited it by public in
suits to their audiences; and If they
be towards, they have not conducted
themselves as such, by Offering affronts
that could not be resented.

THE BUR DEN OF PROOF is ON
THE BELL COMPANY.

What the lawyers call 1.-The burden of
proof is on the Bell Telephone Com
pany under existing conditions in this
city. 1t is incumbent on 1t to show
why special favors should be granted
it by Councils; why it should be al
lowed to charge $50 for the use of a
telephone when another company is not
permitted to charge the same person
over S3S a year for Il similar service.
On the face of it, this is an nequita-
BILE exercise of the power OF Councils
to fix rates; 1t is so plainly case OF
gross favoritism that 1T needs no ex-
posture to insure it's condemnation by
men who believe in equal and exact
justice. II 1T is not to be condemned
the Bell Company must show, and
show conclusively. why it is to be ex-
empted from the same maximum rates
imposed on the States Company. Has
it, as yet, given any sufficient reason
why it should be exempted from n
maximum rate when such a rate is
imposed on it's competitor?
1t also follows that the Bell Company
Is bound TO Justify it's advance in rates
beyond the schedule which has OBJ
tanned ever since there has been com
petition in this city. It's mere dictum
will not suffice. It is facts, not as
surances. that are wanted, and the
facts are not Forthcoming. The assur-
ances we have in bewildering profusion.
The Bell Company has put in effect
q schedule of rates, the highest Of
which is SO above the maximum rate
its competitor is allowed to charge
and the lowest of which is S14 below
1.-THE minimum charged by its competi-
tor. Its competitor cannot meet the
$50 rate because the law will not allow
3 it to do so, and it cannot meet the SO
rate because it cannot recoup itself by
means OF the $50 rate. This is the
situation and it was created by the Bell
Company. IL the Bell Company had
been subject to the same restrictions
have created that situation Ii is a
situation that has lead TO vigorous pro-
tests from telephone subscribers. IT
rs a SITUATION. THAT WAS MADE
POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE CITY
I VIOLATED IT'S CONTRACT WITH
THE STATES COMPANY BY GRANT
ING THE BELL COMPANY a FRAN
CHISE WITHOUT FIXING THERE
IN THE s3S AND $2S MAXIMUM
RATES IMPOSED ON THE STATES
5 COMPANY.
Why should Councils allow this sit
uation. Involving u breach OF faith on
! the part of the city. injustice to the
States Company and hardship to the
public to continue? Has the Bell Com
pany justified Its continuance by facts
1t has given nothing more substantial
than its assertion that it was losing
money. and will lose money. If it is
not allowed to enforce It's new schedule
OF rates. Nobody wants the Bell Com
pany to operate at a loss. But 1t can.
not expect that its bare assertion, I'M
substantiated by facts, will be ac-
cepted BY Councils as sufficient war
rant for permitting injustice TO be
acne another company and the public.

NOT IMAGINARY.
A Common Disease, which II by No
Means the Result of Imagination.

Undoubtedly many nervous people suner
from troubles purely imaginary; diseases
which exist only in the mind OF the pa
tent and such troubles furnish a iertile

However, there is one common and an
uoying disease which is in no sense or the
word imaginary and that Is Piles.
Pile sufferers do not need a physician

simple lotion or ointment cure II. You
cannot deceive a pile sufferer into be-
lieving he Is being cured. because the
pain and Itching from which he suffers
IS not imaginary and cannot be cured by
imagination. pfc remedy must have
unmistakable merit, II must relieve the
pain and cure the disease speedily or Il
win be condemned.
