The hordes of professional swim
dlers who bob up in town every
year at fair time, was larger last
week than ever before. 1t is report
ed that their efforts to entrap the
unwary were quite successful. 1t
is very strange how some people,
though familiar with the tactics and
schemes of men who live by beating
others, will allow themselves to be
caught. One of our residents, who
saw what he thought chance to
win on a game, which was carried
on near the fair ground, invested
S22, and came away broke.
Another followed suit to the extent
of SIC. But even this did not dis
courage another man who had
made up his mind to plunge. He
walked up to the stand took out his
roll of S24 and played until every
red had vanished. He was obliged
to go home and secure enough
money to pay his way in the fair
ground. We venture the assertion
that there are at least three Blooms
burgers who will not wait for the
first of January to make good reso-
lutions.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
If you have not tried it, send for free sample
its agreeable taste will surprise YOU.

Thomas Watts, of lola, had his
horse and buggy stolen while at
tending the fair last week. After
arriving in town. he drove to the
residence of his brother H. w.
Watts, on West Street. He was in
the house only a few minutes, but,
long enough to give the thief an
opportunity to unite the animal and
drive away unnoticed. A search
was made about town but no trace
of the stolen property could be
found. On Saturday Mr.. Watts
succeeded in his search. The horse
aud buggy were found a few miles
beyond Catawissa. A buffalo robe,
blanket and lady's cape were in
the carriage just as he had left
them. The only articles missing
were two pair OF gloves.

BURGLAR SHOT.
Broke Open Sale at Benton, and Was Killed
the Next Night at Cambria.

Last Monday night the store of J.
]. Mather & Co., at Benton, was
broken into, the safe blown open, and
the tibet got thirty-hve dollars and a
gold watch, belonging TO Mrs. Mather,
who is daughter of Sheriff w. w.
Black. There was no clue to the
robber On Tuesday night an at
tempt was made to break into Haz-
lett's store, at Cambria, but unfortu.
nately for the burglar, a night watch
man was on guard, in the person of a
son of the late Wellington c. Hughes,
and he shot the burglar, killing him
instantly. We have not been able to
learn any of the details, but 1t was
undoubtedly the same man who
robed Mather's store, for Mrs. Math.
er's watch was found on his person.
He was a stranger, and was probably
professional cracksman from the city
taking tour in the country. He
called once too often.

The drama, Hearts of Men,
was rendered by local talent cast,
consisting of members OF the Wi
mona Fire Company, assisted by
few others, in the Opera House,
Tuesday evening, October 9th. 1t
was given under the auspices of and
for the benefit of the above men
toned fire company. The boys
expended a great deal Of labor to
thoroughly advertise the event, and
worked hard rehearsing, in order
to give creditable performance,
thinking, of course, that they
would be rewarded by big audi
ence. In this they were disap-
pointed. The total receipts were
about $4,000. From this must be
deducted 40 per cent. for the use of
the Opera House, and other ex-
penses, aggregating, all told, about
SIoo.o 90. The company expected
to clear enough to purchase uni
forms, but with such patronage it
will be some time before the object
will be accomplished.

The number of stands and side

of poor patronage. Several of them
