BURGLARS AT RUTLAND
Prepared to Blow Open Safe in ycr-
mont Marble Company's Store
Frightened Away by a Clerk.

Rutland. oct 2S.-Burglars entered tbe
store of the Vermont Marble company at
Center Rutland tonight but were fright
ened away before they could blow omen
the safe although they had everything in
readiness. In their flying departure they
gathered up 10 or II watches valued at sl,O
and this seems to be the principal item
stolen, as far as can be ascertained to-
night.
Neal Foster, a young man who sleeps
in the store, left there at Is to come 10
this city but missed his car and had to
walk back. He reached the store at 1910
and could not get in by the front door. He
went around to the back entrance and
found that door open. Further investiga-
ton revealed the safe drilled and eXplo-
sVes in place with fuse attached. Sew
eral comforters, taken from the stora
stock, had been wet and wrapped around
the safe to deaden the sound of the explo.
sion. a chair was foun ny the front door
evidently placed there by one of the bur.
glars to watch out for passersby.
Foster sent word to the Rutland police
who were soon on the scene but they
could find no clue which would lead to tn +,
detection of the criminals 1t is eviden.
that as Foster was seen approaching ths

Geology, 1902.

The United States Geological Survey
has in press for immediate publication
Bulletin No. 2l3, which is report of
contributions made to economic geol-
ogy in 1902.
10 the preparation of the present vol
ume promptness of publication has been
made seco diary Gully TO the economic
utility of the material presented. The
papers included are only such as have
direct economic bearing, all questions
of purely scientific interest being ex-
cluded.
The papers may be divided into three
classes: ID Primary discussions of the
results of extended economic investiga-
lions which will later be published by
the Survey in more detailed form; (2)
comparatively detailed descriptions OF
occurrences of economic interest, noted
by biologists of the Survey 10 the course
of their field work, but not Of sufficient
importance to nccessitate later and
more extended description; (3) abstracts
of certain economic papers which have
appeared In SURVEY publications during
the last year, chiefly such as give gen.
eral account of the distribution and
mode of occurrence of particular min
eral deposits throughout the United
States"
The character Of the contents of this
publication may be illustrated by the
titles of few Of the go papers contained
10 it; "Investigation of Metallferous
Ores" by S. F. Emmons; "Placer Gold
Mining In Alaska in 1902" by A. II.

OIL DRILLER'S
PAINFUL M|SHAP
WOMAN REs0UEs HIM FROM ALMOST
CERTAIN DEATH.
The Man Was suddenly Stricken With
Paralysis and Was L nable to Move
Hand or Foot.

Lee T. CIPHER, an oil-well driller,
living at Sistersville, Tyler county, w.
va, was the victim of terrible mishap
which caused a total paralysis Of his
legs, arms, face and throat. It WAS DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
which cured him and enabled him To re-
sumo his work.
81 might almost as well have been
totally parulyzed," he says, for 1 was
unable to move aud could swallow only
with the greatest difficulty. 1t was in
February, 1899, after severe attack of
grip, that l first noticed a numbness III
my hands and feet. 1t increased and
put myself under a physician s care
but, instead of getting better, it grew
worse till | could not walk and was
obliged to take to my bed. l was per.
fectly helpless and, on account of the
paralysis of my throat, hardly able to
take enough nourishment to sustain
life. Nothing helped me and the out
look was dismal.
But Mrs Smith, of this place, who
had been cured of locomotor ataxia by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, recommended
them to me and l began to take them.
In short time | could see they were
helping me and continued taking them
till they cured me and / was able to re-
turn to work. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
drove every trace of the paralysis out of
my system"
The cure of Mr.. CIPHER is additional
proof that DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
not an ordinary medicine. They are
wonderful in their potency in nervous
troubles, small or great, and as they are
ON sale in every drug store throughout
the country they are within reach Of all.
That they could cure such a severe ner
yous disorder as that of Mr.. CIPHER
proves the power of the remedy in lesser
troubles, such as sciatica, neuralgia,
nervous headache, St. Vitus' dance and
nervous debility.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents
box or six boxes for two dollars and
half, by addressing DIR. Williams Med
icine Co., Schenectady, NY.
