a seasonable Bit of Advice.

At this time of the year cold is very
easily contracted, and if allowed to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
medicine is liable to result in that dread
disease, pneumonia There is no better
remedy 10 cure a cough or cold than
Stretch's Balsam. This is the only medi-
cine that is known to be a certain pre-
ventative of pneumonia Among the
thousands that have used it for coughs,
colds and la grippe, we have never heard
ola single case having resulted in pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs or
have reason to fear an attack of pneumo-
MIA should keep Stretch's Balsam on hand.
All the leading druggists sell Stretch's
Balsam in 25c and soc bottles. Larger
size cheaper. Io-5t

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken intern
ally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

Fra aA Rnrlinefon.

An alarm of fire was sounded in Bur.
lington at quarter to five O'Clock on Fri
| day evening. 1t was caused by the burn
ing of the building on the river bank for
merly occupied as residence by Bishops
of the Episcopal church. but Of late years
has been used as club house, one por-
ton of the building being occupied by
Charles D. Gauntt as residence.
Mrs. Gauntt was asleep at the time the
fire broke out, and was awakened by the
barking of dog. She found the house
full of smoke She called a girl who
lived in the family and the two left the
house without having time to save any
thing of value.
The firemen worked hard, but were
hampered by the small size of the mains
in the neighborhood and the fact that,
owing to their not having been flushed
for some time. they were full of mud.
The fire burned stubbornly and it was not
until two hours after the alarm was given
that it was thought to be under control,
and the firemen left, only to be called
back about nine o'clock to quench flames
which had again broken out.
The fire was caused by defective f1ue.
Some of the furniture belonging to the
Burlington Club was saved, but nearly
every article of value owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Gauntt was lost, among the property
being many of their wedding gifts. The
house is insured for $40, 900, the household
goods of Mr.. Gauntt having policy of
g, 1000 on them.
The building is one of historic interest
to members of the Episcopal Church
throughout the state. 1t was the resi-
dence of Bishop Doane, who died there.
Bishop Odenheimer, who succeeded
Bishop Doane, also lived there until the
day of his death. The remains of both of
these clergymen were carried from this
house to their last resting place in the
graveyard surrounding ST. Mary's church
When Bishop Scarborough took charge of
the diocese he did not care to occupy the
old mansion and he took up his residence
at Trenton.
For several years the house has been
used as a social club having for its title
''The Burlington, hence the regret at its
destruction will not be as deepfelt among
the church people as it would have been
had it been used for the purpose originally
intended.

safe BLOWN Open.

The office of the Armour Packing Com
pany, near the station, was broken into
on Friday morning and the safe was
blown open. The discovery was made
when the employees went to the place in
the morning They found the front door
had been pried open. A pick, chisel and
monkey wrench had been left lying on
the floor. These were evidently the tools
with which the crime was committed.
The handle of the safe had been pried of,
and nitro glycerine had been put into the
hole thus made A coat was thrown over
the safe when the explosion took place
But with all these precautions the noise
was loud enough to be heard by those liv-
ing near the place, although they thought
it was caused by somebody shooting at
cats.
The burglars got three checks and some
money, perhaps $50. They were evident
ly disappointed at not getting more as
they had undoubtedly been of the opinion
that large sums were kept in the place.
1t is thought the thieves came from Cam
den.
They had probably intended to do the
job the night previous, but they were
scared away by Policeman Collins, who
happened SO see two strangers in the
neighborhood and asked them what they
wanted For reply they took to their
heels and he was unable to reach them in
person or with his pistol.
On Thursday evening two men were
seen trying to get into the house occupied
by the fiagman at the Medford junction.
On discovering that they had been no.
ticed, they left, but afterwards went back
and forced an entrance to the place and
evidently stayed there until they thought
it safe to venture out and do their work.
A bright light is kept burning in the
Armour office and the police have in
structions to investigate if it is out or the
shades are pulled down. In this instance
the robbers did not turn the light out
Policeman Collins, who was on that beat
arrived at the station soon after the affair
happened, if we may judge from the state
ments of the time the report of the ex-
plosion was heard. The light in the Of
flee was burning brightly and the officer
did not know anything wrong had hap
pened.
On Sunday boy playing around the
fair grounds, found one of the stolen
checks Yesterday the balance of the
checks, and some of the books taken from
the place were found at the fair grounds.
The burglars evidently stopped at that
place to examine the booty and abandoned
everything that was of no use to them.
