In Order to Get Away From Vicinity
of Their Crime.

A horse and buggy stolen from a
farmer residing near Seville, O., last
Wednesday night by thieves who at
tempted to rob the Creston, O.. bank
the same night, was located by Chief
of Police Dunn Monday morning.
There were FIVE men implicated in
the attempt to rob the Creston bank a
week ago and they are supposed to be
Cleveland cracks. They failed to get a
large sum of money, on account of be-
ing frightened before the safe was en-
tered. In order to get away the rob-
bers stole two rigs, one at Creston,
and the other at Seville, a few miles
distant. The gang then separated,
two Of them going to Brooklin, Cuya-
hoga county, and the other three COM
ing to Akron. On North Hill, the day
following the robbery the thieves
abandoned the horse. and buggy and it
was taken in charge by a farmer resid-
ing in the neighborhood.
The Seville marshal was notified and
Re arrived in Akron Tuesday morning
to get the horse and buggy.

CURED THE OUEE.%.'S COLD.

For the first time the great home. RENE
dies prescribed by the late Sir James
Simpson. physician in ordinary TO her
Majesty Queen Victoria, are being pu- up
in this country, where they are alreauy
commanding an enormous sale, under the
name of Sovereign Remedies. This pro-
found scholar and scientist who was the
first to introduce chloroform into England
as an anaesthetic, thereby saving the
afflicted from untold sufferlngs, ana
whose statue in bronze now STANDS IN
West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh,
devoted his entire life to the STUDY OF
che effects Of medicines, and his knoWl-
edge of the p1sarmacopoeia was SO bcoad
that his contributions to the literature OF
his profession on the subject OF allopathy
and homeopathy are the standard works
of the day. In his prescriptions he Sc
lected from either. He acknowledged no
school but his own. His sole ooject was
to attain results, and after q life crowned
with honor ard success he has LETT per-
shaps the most valuable lot OF prescrlp-
tons eXtant His remedy for colds was
the only one that Queen Victoria relied
upon, and which she has by her at all
times for immediate use.
These Invaluable prescriptions have been
generally used in England for over quar-
ter of a century and have received i'm
4SSSSoA1AN1oAA
for their sovereign virtues. 1t is little
less than year since the Sovereign Rem
edy Company began to put up the pre-
sscriptions in this country, and nowit has
agencies all over the East, and as far
West as Cleveland, and is preparing to
extend them to the Pacific coast during
the coming spring. 1t is decidedly novel
to see distinct line OF home remedies
on the market which combine in their in
gradients the discoveries Of both the old
and new school. retled.ing the highest
derivations Of each. This is one of the
features which the company prides itself
on. that it is not attacking any school,
acknowledging the value of both, and
drawing unreservedly from them for the
best ingredients essential to the best re-
suits. 1t now has twenty-seyen remedies,
the majority of them being Sir James
Simpsons, and the balance scientifically
determined by the most learned physi-
clans of Europe and America Other
remedies are being gradually ADDED as
3heir absolute and specific value is proved,
and Sovereign Remedies have undoubtedly
come to stay on the simple ground of
efficacy right along the line. The medi-
scines are put Up in tablet ard triturated
form, and are sold everywhere.
