DETECTIVES BUSY
 BUT NO ARRESTS
UNION TICKET OFFICE SAFE ROB- BERY IS GIVING POLICE MUCH
 CONCERN, BUT INVESTIGATIONS
 ARE BEING MADE CAREFULLY.

No arrests have been made in connec- tion with the safe robbery at the union passenger station of s67Oo last Friday night. Detectives have been working on the case steadily ever since Saturday morning, and may at any time make one or two arrests.
 There are at least a dozen men run ming down the various clues, but so far only few have developed anything which would lead to a possible catch" The object of the detectives in delaying the arrest Is to make sure that they have the right man. They also w1sn to trace the money if possible and recover at least a portion of 1t.
 The only change that has resulted in the investigations of the past forty-eight hours is the belief that more than one person had a hand in the crime.

I was hit twice, once here on the right arm and the other time on the leg I have no idea what they attacked me for, un- less it was to steal the horses"

DON'T WORRY.

This is easier said than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is something over which you have no control it is obvious that worrying will not help the matter Tn the least. On the other hand. if within your control you have only to act. When you have a cold and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy a bottle or Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use 1t tudiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. There is no danger of pneu- monia when it is used. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists.
