RECTOR OF ST. LUKE'S.
Ontario, TeStifes to the Good Qualities of ChamberIain's
 Cough Remedy.


 Ashburnham, Ont, April Is, 1903. Il think it is only right that 1 should tell you what a wonderful effect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has produced. The day before Easter I was so distressed with a cold and cough that I did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day ] re- ceived an ordOr from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy I at once procured sample bottle, and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times onEaster Day, I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial without solicitation, being thankful to have found such a Godsent remedy.
 Respectfully yours,
 E. A. LANGFELDT, M. A.,
 Rector of St. Luke's Church. To Chamberlain Medicine Go.
 This remedy is for sale by St. Johns Drug Company.

Bridgeport Burglars Blow Open Standard Oil Co. Safe.

Bridgeport, April 9.-Burglars last night blew the safe in the office of the Standard Oil Go here, and escaped with it's contents, about $10O, after binding and gagging the night watchman, Will liam Watts. Watts says the men at- lacked him while he was making HIS rounds of the buildings. He was se- curely tied with cords and left in a barn on the company premises while the burglars broke into the office and blew the safe. From midnight until 4 o'clock this morning the watchman re- mained bound in tue barn. He was found by one of the company's team drivers.
 The Standard Oil plant is in the fac tory district on the west side and dis tant from any residences, so that the sound of the explosion of the safe was apparently heard by no one. Inc burglars used nitro o-glycerine and muf fled the safe with horse blankets. Chief-of-Po Birmingham thinks the job was the work of "yeggmen'' and that they probably got out of town on a freight train. The police in various cities have been asked to assist in the search for them.

 SHORT CALENDAR.

At short calendar in the district court to-day Attorney O'Neill gave mo- tice that he will ask for the appoint ment of committee next Saturday to organize local bar association.
 ''Why," said Judge Cowell in sur prise, you are a committee on that very matter, are you notf'
 ''I guess so," said MT O'Neill, 'and that is the report make"
 It was expected that counsel for B. H Mattoon, the ex-treasurer of the Watertown Savings bank. who plead ed guilty to making false entries in the banks books. last Tuesday in the Winsted superior court, would ask that the civil case against him be as- signed for hearing. Instead, they stated that by agreement with counsel for the bank, judgment will be entered proforma for the defendant next Tuesday by Judge Peck of Bristol and an appeal will be taken to the superior court. This is merely short cut to the end.
 The cases assigned for hearing next week were Winestine vs Ziglatzki for Monday. the city against Stephen B. Cam, Thursday. and for April 19, J. D. Botelle against the borough of Bristol.

Organized Gang Of Book Thieves I'm
 Public Libraries.
 NEW YORK, April 9.-The arrafgn- ment in the Jefferson market police court of man who said he was Leon Gomberg, charged with taking book from the Astor library, has brought to light the fact that an organized gang Af book thieves has been operating for 8 month or more past in the public u- braries of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
 This mans arrest was the result of ; a pen sketch made of him in the Lenox library by one of the employees few days ago, when suspicion had fallen upon him. Copies were sent to book dealers. Under the sketch the artist had written these words:
 'sThis gives a pretty fair idea of 8 man calling himself A. Ager. Does he look like a student of American first editionsT'
 A clerk in Twenty third street book store considered the face of the man before him and decided that he didn't. In fact, he was of almost any type oth- CT than the intellectual.
 'You come back again in couple of hours," he said. Gomberg came and was arrested. s.-.... .........

ELECTION OUTRfGES IN
MISSOURI.

The remarkable outrages which
characterized the primary elections
N St. Louis and Kansas City,
Missouri, recently certainly re-
feet seriously upon the democracy
of those two cities, and will doubt
less put the party III bad odor
throughout that state. The energetic
efforts OF District Attorney Folk OF
St. Louis to cleanse the party of
grafters and boodlers, of whom he
has succeeded in sending quite
number to the penitentiary, it
would seem should have rebrked
Butlerisln sufficiently to have
caused reformation of that element
II St. Louis. On the contrary,
however, the Butler Indians"
were bolder and more aggressive III
the primary elections than ever
before. A regular riot of misrule
and ruffianism held sway in both
Kansas City and ST. Louis, and the
police were apparently there in the
interest of the. law breakers. Or
ganiZed gangs OF Butler democrats
moved from poll to poll, voting
again and again, and at the same
time beating and showing away
voters who were life-long democrats,
because they were supporters of
Folk, while the blue guard
Sans of the law just looked the
other way. The St. Louis Republic,
which is staunchly democratic,
commenting upon thse occurrences,
seems fully alive to the disgrace
which they have put upon the
democratic organization. 1t says
IN part
No good citizen can read the story
OF the Democratic primaries in St.
L.auiS Last Saturday without re-
cognizii1g that new issue has beer
created OF grave character and
higher importance than any ques-
tian of partisan politics. The story
of the day is tale OF outrage and
iafamy-outrage completely thwart
ing private right and personal
liberty; infa;,iy loading the police
authorities with disgrace.
It is impossible to speak of tbs
days occurrences with moderate
phrases. They require strong Ian
guage and words can not eXag-
gerate the gravity OF the issue ST.
Louis faces. 1t would have been
sufficiently serious if the police had
simply been unable to repress the
Iiotous proceedings OF the organized
gangs of rufhans that invaded the
West end precincts. But the
seriousness of the situation is great
~ increased by the overwhelming
mass of evidence showing that the
police willingly permitted many
outlages to go unrebuked, if they
did not actually and actively assist
The rulaans who committed them.
The Republic, continuing, calls
upon the democracy of the state of
Missouri to rebuke and disown the
lawless element of the party which
has thus outraged good govern
neut. Should it fail to do so, then
the people of Missouri, regardless
Of politics, should do so. by over
defeating the party at
the state elections.

a Lesson From Emery

Sioux Falls ArguS-Leader: The
editor of the Emery Enterprise tells
of an experience which ought to be a
tip to business men in other commune
ties Of the state. The editor some
time ago had a request from a mail
order house for q copy for the Enter
prise with a request for advertising
rates. The editor sent a copy Of his
paper and soon received an answer
with the information that the house
In question did not feel 1T could
afford TO advertise in a paper thai was
~patronized SO literally by home mer-
chants. The manager of the mail
order house is a wise one. He knows
that he can get little business from a
town if the local merchants are adj
vertising their wares, and inviting
the people in to inspect their bargains.
The business men in many commune
ties Of the state are complaining that
much Of their trade is going to tine
catalog houses. The Argus-Leader
would suggest that they try to meet
this competition by going after the
trade within their territory by adyer-
Using in the local papers. 1t is the
only way for them to meet the inroads
OF the catalog houses and department.
STORES, \ the zone they realize
That the local newspaper is the medi-
UNI through which to reach the loca,
trade the better for them and for the
community where they live and try to
do business.
