given to the public by a correspondent
of the Stockton, (Cal,) Herald, who
says: 81 herewith append a receipt
which has been used to my knowledge
in hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure small pox though the pittings are
filled. 1t will curt scarlet fever, Here
is the receipt as | have used it for
small pox. When learned physicians
SAID the patient must die, it cured
Sulphate of zinc one grain; foxglovs
(digitalis) one grain; half a teaspoon
full of sugar. Mix with two teaspoons-
full of water; when thoroughly mixed
add four ounces of water. Take a tea
spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear In twelve hours. For a

need of pesthouses. Ii you value

Atty. Watkins Wishes to Celebrate.

To THE EDITOR: Our great nation
al holiday will soon be here again.
July 18th, 1901, is only five weeks
away This year Lancaster should
have celebration. 1t is a quarter
centennial of our national existence,
the one hundred and twenty-fifth an
niversary of our national indepenG-
ence.
In 1876, at the end of the first CEN
turv, Lancaster had great Centen-
NAL celebration in which practically
the entire county took part. Its great
central feature was the Centennial
box which was filled with historical
collections, the names and signatures
OF many of our citizens, copies Of
our county papers. ETC., sealed up
and placed in the vault of the county
clerk. there to remain unopened until
July 4th, 1876.
Those OF us who took part in that
celebration and in its ceremonies felt
that we were addressing people who
were so far in the future as TO be
strangers to US. and to whom we
would be known only by the records
we made. But time flies. and strange
as it may seem. one-fourth of that
period has already passed. The states
have increased from 80 to 45 in num-
Der. Grant county has now 43 cities,
towns and incorporated villages IN
stead of 50 as at that time. While
some who took an active part in that
celebration have passed to the great
hereafter, yet many remain. The
events Of the last two years have
marked an epoch in our national his
tory. and it seems to me that we ought
to observe the quarter century with
another cele 5ration. of the 4th Of July
that will remind our children of the
cost of American liberty, charge them
with its future preservation and
make another record for the people
of 1876.
Lancaster does not often celebrate.
As a rule when it does It has a good
one. A good many years have passed
since we last had pubic celebration.
Let US have good old-fashioned Gel
ebration this year for the entire couu-
" and let Us commence preparation
at once. r. A. WATKINS.

MINERAL POINT BANK ROBBERY.
Burglars Entered it Friday Night and
Carried Away over $50, 1000, all in
Cold Cash.

The First National bank of the city
of Mineral Point was robbed last Fri
day night Of $50, 00Oin currency.
1t appears that at about o'clock
in the morning the robbers gained en-
trance TO the bank, frame structure
through the roof and into the vault
which contained the safes. With the
use of nitro-glycerine they opened
the safe and secured the contents
some thirty odd thousand dollars
stored there. Friday was pay day
for many of the miners of that
city and vicinity and that accounts
for the large amount on deposit. The
thieves must have known Of this fact.
The hole in the roof and through
the vault showed that the burglars
had plenty of time and did their work
well. II was, no doubt, the work OF
experts. The two safes in the vault
were blown apart just enough to a.
low them to secure the plumber.
The bank building IS in the center
of the business section of the city. but
detached from the other buildings.
and the operation of the burglars did
not attract any attention. Their plans
seemed to have been well laid and
carried out to the letter.
The First National bank Of Mineral
Point is the leading bank of the city.
1t has a capital of 800, 600. r. \.
Penhallegon is president and Philip
Allen, cashier.
The bank Is insured in a Philadel-
phia company against robbery and
will recover the full amount taken by
the burglars So the loss, if the
money is not recovered, will fall on
the Eastern company.
Absolutely no clew whatever has
been obtained. They seemed to have
escaped with their booty and left no
trace OF any kind.

Our Nations Dead.

address delivered by Gov r. NJ. LaFollette,)
Standing in the camp of the dead,
my thoughts are moved to the maJes-
tic pasts, still impressed with the
serious Importance of these exercises,
turn and speak of this day and its
future, and ask, what thought is there
back of these services? This is a day
for the living as well as the dead, and
it is wise to set it apart for thought
not so much upon this sacred dust
as upon that which made it so. Years
lNago the celebration OF the people 5 in
:, dependence was not carnival of
lRoisterous revelry; but day full of
Personal griefs. With the generations
10 character of that day has been
modified. So, too, is this day, show
ing the touch of time.
THE members of this post can scar
ely realize that the generation whose
earliest war recolections are, of
reaching up to papa's empty sleeve
to find the missing arm, or of moth
er's crying again and again over some
strange paper and then folding it
tenderly away. answering the Won
dering child only with kisses and tears,
| say you can scarcely realize that he
generation to whom these and kindred
incidents are childish dreams, find
whitening hairs upon their temples

our policy. Years ago. men, women.
and children with full hands and
hearts, were moved by common sent
iment to observe this day. Twenty
years have turned our attention to
the all-absorbing money question, and
men in speaking of this day are heard
to say: 1T can't do the dead any
good. and l am tired of so much
OF this soldering business" Well,
this decoration day ''cannot do
the dead any good,' but there is still
something to do for the living and
those who follow. We are in degree
forgetting the cause and cost Of thewar.
