Winter Is half over. People are con-
tinuing to catch colds, and not a house
but hears the winter cough. People are
trying to get something TO cure these
troubles which are almost inevitable at
this time of the year. 1t can safely be
said that nine-tenths of the people in
the United States have a cold some time
during the winter. There is one remedy
which will prevent colds and cough and
cure them with certainty when con
tracted. This remedy is Peruna. Taken
with regularity during the winter
months, it will entirely prevent colds,
coughs, la grippe, consumption, bron-
chltis or pneumonia. 1t will also cure
without failure catarrh and recent cases

TO USE WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The Army Will Employ 1t in Coming
Joint Maneuvers.

1t is quite probable that the signal corps
Of the army will use a system of wireless
telegraphy in the coming joint army and
naval maneuvers. Gen. Greely has desg-
mated a special board to consider what ex-
periments in communication will be at
tempted at those maneuvers by the army.
and the question as to whether the forces
will attempt to use a wireless system In
their operations will be decided by II.
The Navy Department does not expect TO
use a wireless telegraph system in the
maneuvers this summer, as il has not yet
decided upon a system. Lieut.. Hudgins OF
the equipment bureau has been abroad for
some time looking into the various wireless
systems developing in Europe and is ex-
pected to arrive here very shortly with
data which will enable the department TO
make a selection of some system to ex-
pertinent with. 1t is the hope and eXpecta-
ton of the officials. however, that wireless
communication can be made a part of the
great naval maneuvers which Will take
place in the Caribbean next winter. A part
OF the material purchased by Lieut.. Hud-
gins abroad has already arrived at the
Washington navy yard, but has not been
unpacked. 1t consists of some apparatus CT
a French system.

JOLIET, Ill. July As a result OF a

the Joliet police have in custody Charles
Nessler. He climbed over the tender OF
the engine and told the engineer and fire.
man that they must stop the train, under
penalty of death. Nessler. however is be-
heVed to have been the unwilling accom-
plice OF the robbers, as he obeyed their
commands at the point of a revolver In
the event of the capture of the thieves he
will make a good witness.
The detectives are hot on the trail Of the
robbers. A special train is waiting at Coal
City for n pair of bioodhounds which are
to be rushed to the scene Of the hold-up.
According to Nesslef's story, only two
robbers were concerned, but the detectives
think there were more. He is about TWEEN
ty-two years old, of frank appearance and
intelligence and claims TO be Of respecta-
BILE parents. He said he went to Niles Cen
ter recently to visit cousin. Last night
he started home. and having no funds was
beating his way, taking the train at Chi
cago.
Got on at Englewood.
At Englewood he climbed on the bump
ers back of the tender. and had scarcely
secured thus position when two other men
also climbed up. They said nothing in par
ticular until Midlothian station was reach
ed Then one Of the men climbed over the
end of the tender upon the coal and ordered
Nessler to follow.
Both men had adjusted black masks to
their faces At the point Of a revolver
Nessler was told to go forward to the cab
and tell the engineer to stop the train half
a mile beyond. Thoroughly frightened, he
did SO. The engineer and fireman regarded
the request as joke and laughed. Look
up there said Nessler. The trainmen did
so and saw two revolyers pointing toward
them. This is no joke" said one robber.

The engineer shut off the steam and
brought the train to a standstill near the
taken back under guard, Nessler being
commanded to remain in the cab and keep
quiet.
Express Messenger Shot.
Demand was made on the express mes
senger and baggageman to open the door
Of their car under threats to blow Il up
with dynamite. The door was opened and
the robbers rushed in. 4 struggle ensued
and Messenger Kane was shot in the groin.
The robbers attempted to open the through
safe, but were unsuccessful. The local safe,
however, was forced open. 1t is not known
what amount Of money was taken. 1t is
reported that a bag Of jewelry and some
money was found in the safe, but the rail-
way officials say practically nothing of
value was secured. The robbers disap-
peared.
Kane was taken to Linley Park for treat
ment and later removed to the Euglewood
Hospital. The police here have a satchel
and a quantity of dynamite found in a car
near the scene of the robbery. None Of
