OUR NATIONAL DANGER
Time to Cry a Halt Before a Panic
Comes.

The business spirit is crushing Out
the sweeter element Of home life. We
are in danger of a great commercial
decline, because men, as a whole think
only of getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women, who do not take time to cal
properly. They rush through life, and
as a result We have an age of indiges
ton, nervousness, irritability, ~sleepless
nights, and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tablets
there is no longer any excuse for one
to have i'll health from stomach weak
ness.
Mona strengthens the walls of the
stomach, stimulates secretion of the
digestive juices, regulates the live and
restores muscular contraction to the
intestines and bowels, so no laxative
is needed.
Sick headaches, palpitation, bad
taste in the mouth, yellow skin, irri
liability, coated tongue and melancholy
are a few of the many distressing re
suits of indigestion. Mi-o-na never
fails to dispel all these troubles.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any ease that it fails to cure. Send

Exhibit in the Criminal Case.

Having secured Wednesday almost
all of the goods thrown from the I'm
ion Pacific train, in charge of Con-
ductor G. C. Miller. which left Omaha
for Grand Island last Sunday evening,
special agents for the railroad COM
pany will confront the conductor in
court Thursday with his train orders
signed by him, and dropped in the
looted car, says the Omaha Bee.
Special Agent j.. C. Wizard OF the
Union Pacific, who was responsible
for the arrest of Conductor Miller and
Head Brakeman John O'Hill, has the
train orders in his possession and ii Is
said he secured a confession from
the head brakeman at police head
quarters "Wednesday evening.
Some Articles Found.
At the Miller home, 1912 South Sixth
street, Mrs. Mary Miller and her little
child await the return of the freight
conductor, who is locked in a cell ar
the police station. From Miller's home
and various houses which had been
selected as a place to plant" the
goods, a suit case containing clothing
and shoes was secured today and TAX.

has against the conductor.
other Arrests May Follow.
Other arrests may follow, as Special
Agent Wizard has been hot on the
trail of train crews who have been
footing cars for some time. The trains
between Omaha and Grand Island have
been selected by the robbers, whether
members of the train crews or tramps
and many thousands of dollars worth
of merchandise has been missed, but
through the energy of the special
agents of the railroad company a large
part of the goods have been recovered
Goods have been traced to many ON

cred in Grand Island.
How "Frisking" is Done.
AS near as can be discovered by the
agents of the railroad company, the
plan for looting the cars is simple. The
conductor has duplicate copies Of the
way bills and knows just what the
cars contain. 1t is possible for him to
conspire with the head brakeman OF
another member of the crew, and
while the train waits on a siding for
passenger or other trains, the seals
may be manipulated, cars unlocked and
goods taken either to the way car oil
thrown into a ditch for a confederate
to pick up.
Work BY Lamplight.
Car checkers, in accepting a train
from z division to he turned over
to a crew on another division, usually
inspect the seals by lantern light. If a
seal is skillfully manipulated the cal
checker will pass it by and report the
car sealed and in good condition.

from Hillside park, near Passaic, n.

loon by two ropes as it left the
ground was a galvanized iron can
non fourteen feet long and about
three feet in diameter at the mouth.
Raymond was lying fat on his
back in this cannon, with just the
tips OF his shoes showing at the OPP

an the mouth of the cannon, was a
mortar bomb of the kind used in
fourth Of July celebrations to send
up a big shower Of sparks at night.
The thousands watched the balloon
until it was up about 5000 feet.
Then the gun doomed IN the park.
That was to let the aronaut know
