Secret Society
Members Are
Easily BiIked

Two strangers succeeded IN Sc
curing quite a sum of money in
small amounts Thursday by work
ing upon business men members
of secret societies.
The two worked together and
upon entering a place of business
would endeaver to learn if the
proprietor was member OF either
the Elks or the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles. If the former one OF the
two would proclaim himself a
brother and tell a story about how
he and his friend were stranded
and needed little money to car
ry them out of town. They were
too proud to accept charity, but
producing a fiashy charm with
the emblem of the order, or a
phony diamond, they would like
to negotiate a loan, leaving the
articles as security. If the person
to whom the appeal was made
an Eagle the second man was a
member of that organization and
the same scheme worked.
Fifteen or twenty people were
worked by the scheme, and while
none advanced and large sum, the
total realized by the schemers will
probably aggregate $75 AS none
of the victims cared about expos
ing their creduility, the police re-
ceived no notice of what was 60
ing on until last evening when
an investigation disclosed the fact
that both the men had left during
the day for Sistersville.-Wheel-

Startling, But True.

People the world over were
Mortified on learning of the burn
ing of a Chicago theater in which
nearly six hundred people lost
their lives, yet more than five
times this number, or over 5000
people, died from pneumonia In
Chicago during the same year,
with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one of these cases Of pneu-
monia resulted from q cold and
could have been prevented by
the timely use Of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. A great many
who have had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded 1t
off by the prompt use of this
remedy. The following is an In
stance of this sort: "Too much
cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and influenza.
I know that it cured my daughter
Laura Of a severe cold, and I be-
lieve saved her life when she was
threatened with pneumonia" W.

Sick Headache.

This distressing ailment results
from a disordered condition of the
stomach. All that is needed to eff
feet a cure is a dose or two of
Chamberlain Stomach and Liver
Tablets. In fact, the attack may
be warded off, or greatly lessened
in severity, by taking a dose of
these tablets as soon as the first
symptom of an attack appears.

On the Stroke of Twelve.

The Myers Stock company,
which has been playing a very
successful engagement at the Au-
ditorium during the present week,
will conclude their engagement
this evening with an elaborate
production of Joseph LeBrandt' s
masterpiece of sensational real
ism, "On the Stroke of Twelve. y
con the Stroke of Twelve is a
strictly modern drama with types
of character met in every day life,
realistic picture of prison life,
an impressive illustration of the
injustice of justice. There are
several strong comedy characters,
which are calculated to keep an
audience in an uproar from start
to finish, as well as several very
startling dramatic situations,
among which is the destruction
of the prison walls by dynamite
and the escape of the prisoners in
the third act. Considering that
this play was used by one of the
foremost stock companies on the
road only last season, should be
sufficient recommendation to in
sure a large attendance.
