BURGLARS ROB BANK.
Blow Safe in Ridgevil1e, Ind, Institu.
ton and Get Away with $4,000.


Between I and o'clock Tuesday
morning seven robbers blew the safe
in the Ridgeyille, Ind, State bank and
escaped with about $4,000. The explo-
sion aroused Cashier Branson, who hur.
ried to the bank in time to receive a
bullet in the ankle. Before going to the
bank the robbers met the town watch
man, overpowered and bound and gag
ged him. There is no clew.
The wounded cashier made his way to
the home of the bank president, NJ. P.
Sumption, and the two turned in a fire
alarm. Meanwhile the burglars had sue
ceeded in forcing the doors of the safe
and by the time the citizens were arous-
ed the cracksmen had obtained their
plumber. All the electric lights in town
were turned on and citizens attempted to
surround the robbers.
But the burglars did not fear capture.
For more than an hour the town was
practically at the mercy of the gang of
the seven robbers, who are supposed to
be Chicago desperadoes and who openly
walked the streets, shooting at every
thing in sight and apparently taking
their time in leaving the scene of the
crime. The banks loss of $4,000 is COW
cred by burglar insurance and neither
the bank nor the depositors will lose
any money.

as the old effects Of the other kind Of

weak and nervous as coffee used to do.
Instead of that it built up my strength

Origin Of "Hamfatter."

A correspondent of the New York
Sun gives the following account Of the
origin of the word "hamfatter"-a
term Of derision applied to actors:
years ago, before cold cream became
feature of the makeup box, actors
used a preparation Of ham fat for re-
moving the crude grease paint of their
times. The less prosperous ones, for
the sake Of economy, contented them
selves with the fat side Of ham skin,
which they carried about and used
just as wood cutter does in greasing
his saw. This practice had q disas-
trous effect on the complexion, and
caused Thespians to be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored au-
pearance of their faces. Hence the
term 'hamfatter'

pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr..

Many doctors still maintain that Dia-

that Dodds Kidney Pills will not cure
