THE GREAT DISMAL SWAr1P

OF Virginia is breeding ground of
malaria germs. So is low, wet or
ground everywhere. These
germs cause weakness, chills and fever,
aches in the bones and muscles, and
may induce dangerous maladies. But
Electric Bitters never fail to destroy
them and cure them and cure malarial
troubles. They will surely prevent
typhoid. 1--WE tried many remedies
for malaria and stomach and liver
troubles" writes John Charleston, of
Byesvllle, o., "but never found any
thing as good as Electric .Bitters."
Try them. Only soc. R. H. Beers s. Co.,

Communications, the present station be-
ing much too small to accommodate
the few who have occasion to use it
now. When summer guests and Camp
Columbia Boys begin to come there
will hardly be standing room on the
platform, much less in the waiting

is responsible for the increase of
freight and passengers at this station,

who besides accommodating from 25

AN OFFICERS CLEVER WORK.
1t is quite evident that the house
breaking fraternity have their pecu-
liarities, Judging from what: has been
learned from the court of records or
Justice Dougal. 1t seems that the
house Of Jacob Doll, situated on the
westerlylshore of Mt Tom Lake, was
broken into and considerable clothing
taken therefrom on Saturday, the 9th
inst. the thief entering through
window on the east side of the house.
AS soon as Augustus Herdlein, the
care taker of the place in the absence
OF Mr. Doll, ascertained the fact OF the
breaking in, he notified Officer Ander-
son OF Bantam, who with his usual get
there style started out, using up two
horses, securing the surrounding
country. He found at one Holmes,
blacksmith in West Morris, coat and
vest which Holmes had bought of
chap on Saturday for so cents. In the
inner pocket of the coat was letter
addressed to Mr. Doll. The officer
bought back the clothing and contin-
ued his search all day Sunday and Sun
day night and Monday morning cap
tured the chap before he could take
train at Washington Depot. The Of
ficer took his man before Justice
Dougal, who after a hearing, bound
him over under a $500 bond and as the

The prisoner evidently was rounder.
He desired to testify in his own be-
half and after being assured by the
! Justice that he was in no wise obliged
to do SO, the oath was administered
and he told his story as follows: my

Here's to the crank! If it were not for him
